France, 'Goaded by the
English Press Criticisms,
Again Asserts She Has Not
Violated Neutrality Law.
Charges Seem 10 Be Boiling Plenty Of
Water for Paris Officials.

Paris, May S.-The critical tone Of thu
British press concerning frances alieg-
ed breaches of neutrality in Indo- China.
brought out an emphatic general state
ment. Monday. from the foreign office
that the accusations are unfounded. An
official said:
1T Is universally known that the jap
anese intelligence department is excep-
itionaly efficient. Therefore, if various
specific breaches Of neutrality really
existed the japanese government would
have been aware of them and would
have presented specific charges to thS
French government. So far, however,
Japan's official action has been confined
To requesting France to exercise strict
neutrality. She has not made any spaci-
fic charges nor have any specific acts Of
violation Of neutrality yet been brought
to our attention. The Japanese govern
ment asked in an amicahc spirit that
we observe neutrality and we answered
that We had done AMI were doing every
thing possible to that end. The reports
to tn contrary we believe to be mis-
representations"
DR.. MOtono. the Japanese minister to
France. went to the foreign Office Sun
day evening where he had an extended
interview with NJ. Delcasse. The nature
of their conversation was rot disclosed
but it is understood that DR.. Moton5
referred to Japan's increasing rmpa-
thence regarding the alleged breaches Of
neutrality.
The feeling prevails here that the
situation Is gradually assuming much
tension. Reports are current that thu
positive instructions of the French off,
Gals here receive perfunctory execution
on the parts of officials in Cochin
China.

By Both Sides in Chicago
1eaInsters Strike.
Paint Workers Strike
Drivers to Join, Today.
Employers Send Out More Teams and Handle
Much More Business.

Chicago, May S.-RGth employers and
strikers claim gains. today, in the
transfers strike. The employers de-
clare that they have gained a decided
advantage in the number of wagons
sent out ana the amount of business
transacted. The strikers claim is based
on the fact that 80 drivers for the va
rious furniture dealers i'm the city will
strike tomorrow morning. and that
$50 paint workers employed by the
Heath & Milligan Co, struck. today.
The furniture dealers ordered their
men to carry goods to the bOycotted
houses and the strike, tomorrow, will
he the result.
The paint workers of the Heath g.
Milligan Co, are the first members of
any union not member of the team
sters' organization to go on strike in
support of the teamsters.
The State street department stores
and the large dry goods houses sent
out nearly their full complement Of de-
livery wagons. today. The wagons
were guarded by police officers or dep
uty sherilfs, the latter i'm all cases
armed with rifles. The deputies sat in
the rear of the wagons and held their
guns in position to use at the first sign
of disturbance.
The big department store of ROths-
child & Co., for the first time since
the strike began. loaded their wagons
in State street, this morning, using po-
lice and deputy sheriffs for protection.
When it was found that they could
not be supplied with the necessary
number of deputy sheriffs. number
of their employees were sworn in as
deputy sheriffs. This proceeding was
adopted by many of the houses and the
sheriff by night had 1900 deputies at
work.
Fifteen hundred wagons manned by
non-uniOn men were operated from
state street. today, and the number
will be materially increased, tomorrow.
The rioting, today. was of n sharper
character than that of Saturday. Three
men We're fatally injured and num-
Der of others were hurt. William
ODay, col0red toamster, tonight,
was attacked by Albert Enders. who
struck him with n stone. O'Day's en-
plny"rs are not involved in the team
sters' strike and there was no occa-
sion for Endcr's attack.
The civic commission appointed by
Mayor Dunno to investigate the strike,
commenced operations, today. 1t did
little but organize for future work,
however. and the promise for the sue
cessful performance of its mission does
not seem to be bright. 1t has no power
to summon witnesses and must there
fore rely on volunteered testimony.
