.SHEATH|NG CLAWS
Conditions Not Far From
Normal Now.
A Few Clashes at Chicago But No One
Seriously Hurt. The Strike
Threatens to
Spread.
CIV the Associated Press.l

Chicago, May 9.-The large depart
ment stores and the express companie:
today resumed business on almost q
normal basis. They sent their wagons
into the extreme parts of the city, in
some instances without police lprotec
ton and transacted their business
without interruption or trouble of q
serious character Sixteen hundred
teams were AT work today, and The
number will be increased tomorrow.
Notwithstanding this apparent gain
however there are strong indication:
tonight that the strike will spread
within the next few days not only
among the uaamsters, but among other
unions as well. The drivers of the
Wenig Teaming Company, a large con-
Germ, chiefly engaged i'm delivering
-four, went out today when ore OF then
number was discharged for refusing
to deliver flour to a boycotted house.
In some quarters it was feared that
the strike of the Wenig Company driv-
ers would produce a shortage in the
supply of the flour, but the officers OF
the company say tonight that they
have supply sufficient to last the city
for week, and that at the expiration
of that time they will be able to make
deliveries as before. For some time
this afternoon it was reported that {
strike of the teamsters employed by
the Crane Company was imminent
This concern is an immense manufac-
turer of elevators and plumbing spe>
cialtiesl and it's shut down would bet 2
serious detriment to many building
operations now in progress. The
threat to strike was caused by the dis
charge of two teamsters who refused
to make deliveries as ordered The
nffinia 10 Of fhA nninn sanctioned the
strike but it did not occur. An ad-
justment was reached of some kind,
but the statements of the Chicago
Crane Company and the labor leaders
differ as to its character.
There were numerous clashes in the
streets today between nOn-union men
and the police and union teamsters.

with all sorts of missiles from a safe
distance. These fights were all i'm the

bore no resemblance to the open Vio-

for the wagon guards and the police
to send a volley of bullets flying toward
the windows. Nobody, however, was
shot during the day.

STUDENT SHOT TO DEATH.
The Indications Point Strongly to 9
Case of Suicide.
(By the Associated Press


New Haven, Conn, May 9.-Arthur
Haserot, a Yale senior, living in Cleve-
land, Ohio, was found shot to death
i'm his room today and an inVestiga-
ton into the case is being conducted.
Medical examiner Bartlett stated to-
night that he believed death was the
result of an accident or suicide but
further than that ne would not dis
cuss the case. HaserOtS body was
found by one of his room-mateS and
after it was viewed by the medical
examiner was removed to an under
takers.
Roy W. Hemingway, of Syracuse, n.
Y the room mate of HaSerOt, said to-
night that Haserot seemed to be in has
usual good spirits today. There was
no intimation that he was respondent
or contemplated taking his life. The
body of the dead student was found
on the floor at the foot of window
seat, and it is believed that he shot
himself while on the window seat and
that he fell to the floor. There was but
one empty shell in the revolver. The
bullet entered Haserot's right temple,
probably producing instant death.
The manner in which Haserot was
shot was almost conclusive proof that
Examiner Bartlett stated tonight that
there would be no further investiga-
ton as he was convinced that the stu
dent met death by his own hand.
Haserot was quiet man with good
habits, it is said. and the probability
is that he was temporarily out of his
hea don account of overwork, his room
mate stating that he had been a hard
working student.

Trenton, N. j., May 9.-Judge Ian
ming, in the United States District
Court today refused to grant writ of
habeas corpus applied for by counsel
for Anna Valentino. who was to have
been hanged at Hackensack on May
IL for the murder of Rosa Salza.
Counsel for the condemned woman
claimed that she had not had a fair
trial, but County Prosecutor Rooster.
of Bergen county, denied this allega-
ton saying the trial had been impair
tial.
Judge Lanning then said it was not
the custom of the Federal Courts to
interfere with the State Courts by is

peal to the United States Supreme

fusal to grant the writ.
The appeal will probably postpone

L
Washington, May 9.-Secretary Taft
fairly took the breath of the three
hundred railway men, members Of the
International Railway Congress- dining
tonight as the guests of the American
Railway Association at the new Will
lard Hotel, when after being intro
duced as the apostle from the Philip
pines" he emphatically declared that
railway legislation must come; that if
the railway men of the country were
wise they would aid and not hinder it.
Absolute silence reigned as Secre-
tary Taft spoke his mind on the sub
feet of rates. He was positively
against government ownership, he
said, believing that nothing so delet-
erious could come to the country as
this solution of the question, but, "
he continued, you cannot run rail-
roads as you run a private business.
You must respond to the public de-
mand. If there is danger of discrimi-
nation then you must allow the estab-
lishment of some tribunal that VIII
remedy that discrimination"
The Secretary saw no reason why u
tribunal properly constituted should
not be competent in every sense Of
the word to fix a maximum rate.
President Stuyvesant Fish of the
American Railway Association, an
sWered the secretary at length taxing
the view that the law to prevent dis
elimination, double dealing and Sc
cret rebates, was ample. and he vigor-
ously called for the enforcement of
that law.
Secretary Taft asked for time to re-
ply and made himself even more posi-
tive as to his position in favor of legis-
lation which would create tribunal
with authority to name a maximum
rate.
Mr.. Fish again took up the argu-
ment, contending it was question OF
fixing the price for the seller of goods.
