association called on Chief of Police
O'Neill and asked if their men had
not the right to carry weapons pro-

and were not concealed. Chief
O'Neill replied that there was no law
against it, and arrangements were
promptly made by the employers TO
place Winchester rifles on every one
of the wagons. Over a thousand of
these weapons were purchased today,
and during the latter part of the at
ternoon number of wagons went
through the streets with a rifle lying
across the knees of the driver and his
assistant.
When Mayor Dunno was informed
of the fact that rifles would be car.
ried by the non-uniOn men. he was
visibly disturbed, and declared that
the police will not be permitted to
authorize the carrying of arms by any
one, whether in the employ of the
Employers Teaming association OF
affiliated with the strikers.
THE chief of police will give no au
thority to any one to carry arms,
Sc said.
The city council tonight passed a
resolution directing the chief of po
lice to enforce that portion OF the
state statutes which prohibits the car
rying of rifles in the streets by unau
thorized persons.
President Shea of the Transfers
union, said tonight if the Employers
Teaming association armed it's driver:
with rifles, he would do the same will

There was report late this after
noon that Mayor Dunno was about tt
force an adjustment, but he declared
tonight it was incorrect.

The Strike in Chicago Assumes More
Serious phase.

Chicago, May Conditions in the
transfers strike were worse today
than at any preceding time. The strik-
ers were in a more ugly mood, the
rioting was more open and vicious,
and the attacks on non-union men
were more frequent and daring than
at any time since the commencement
of trouble The cause for the increas-
ed belligerency on the part of the
strikers and their friends is laid to
the fact that the Employers Teaming
association today brought 800 men
into the city to take their places. and
500 more are said to be now on the
way and will arrive within IL hours.
These men will receive the full pay
of union men, and it has been guar
anteed to them that their positions
will be permanent. Among them are
200 farmer boys from all the sur
rounding states who have volunteered
their services, and sought positions
as drivers.

Nolan at San Francisco accepted the

Others prominent in the game are
not so much adverse to the new curve,
except in it's details. President Pull
liam of the National league has decid-
ed it is not refined, either in name or
in performance. 1t is facetiously said
he has taken steps to suppress the
pitchers using the spit ball by warn
ing umpires to call balk, provided a
man is on base, of course, if the pitch
er uses too much vulgar ostentatlon
in his eXpectoration stunt. The act
of moistening the ball must be done
as deceptively and quietly as posi-
BILE.
"The spit ball is a menance to the
game and should not be allowed" said
Mr.. Dreyfuss. You can take it from
me, too, that within the next two
months that ball will not be used, for
there will be rule against it. Catch
/ ers, batsmen and umpires are in dang
er of their lives every time the spit
ball is pitched, for no pllcher has good
control over it. Besides that it is a
dirty thing to handle and it's slippery
ness is responsible for most of the
wild throws now made. I'm against
it for one, and I'll bet it's ruled out
in a few weeks"

I. YERKES
IS CRITICALLY I'LL
SON AND DAUGHTER SUMMONED
TO BEDSIDE OF FINANcIER
IN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-Although re-
assuring bulletins have been issued
daily from the apartments Of Charles
T. Yerkes In the WaldorfAstoria, a
few Of the intimate friends Of the rail.
road man and fnancier have been
informed that his illness Is Of very
serious nature.
Every effort has been made by mis-
immediate relatives and the hotel
management to keep the gravity of
the situation from becoming known.
No cards are permitted to be sent to
the rooms, and a stereotyped answer
that Mr.. Yerkes is suffering from a
cold is given to all inquiries.
1t is a fact, however, that Mr..
Yerkes' son has come from Chicago
and his daughter has been summoned
from Philadelphia. Mrs. Yerkes is
also with her husband, and a larger
suite of apartments has been taken
in order that the invalid may be made
as comfortable as possible
Mr. YerkeS illness follows an at
tack suffered while in London last
summer. He was attended by some
of the foremost English physicians
and recovered sufficiently to be able
to attend to business. He was just
then getting his underground London
tubes and connecting trolley lines in
working order.
He made a trip to Paris, where he
considered proposition to take over
the Paris railways, and little more
than month ago he arrived home.
His Fifth avenue mansion, with its
recently completed art gallery, was
not ready for occupancy and he went
to the Waldorf-Astoria.
While Mr.. Yerkes' friends declined
yesterday to state the exact nature OF
his illness, 1t is believed to be re,
currence of the attack which he ex,
perienced in London last summer,
which was due to heart trouble. He
was reported yesterday to be slight,
ly better, but the improvement was
not such as would materially change
the situation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. o.
Some day soon former Speaker Keller
and Senator Lodge will foregather in
the cloak room to discuss the ques-
ton Of slang. Both are connolsseurs
in that form of speech. Both delight
to discover the fact that what often
passes for the last work in the leHl-
con Of slang is older than the Chris
tian era. The expression, "Not in IT"
according to the reading Of the for.
mer Speaker, is so old that the man
who uses it as slang ought to be pun
ished for disrespect to old age. THAT
expression is 1000 years old at least"
said the former Speaker. "Eplctetus
uses It In talking about the coward
in battle. He used 1t in exactly the
same sense that it Is used to-day. He
said that the coward Is there In the
sense that his body is In the fray,
but that really he Is not in it. That
Is, he Is no more in 1t than the man
who makes a poor run for an office,
and who is doing something his heart
does not approve"
