appreciation of the bravery displayed by Sergeant Cummings in his efforts towards preserving peace. Sergeant Cummings was knocked down and run over by a wagon at Clark and Wash in ston Streets in the rioting of Thurs. day. He is in a critical condition.

 May Appeal to President.
 President Roosevelt may be formal ly asked to end the teamste-s strike here as he did the strike of the an- thracite coal miners. A resolution re- ouesting the President to try to induce inc employers of Chicago to arbitrate the issues which are now being fought out and so avert the bringing of troops to Chicago and check talk of gen. eral war between capital and the wage -earners is expected to be intro duced in the Chicago Federation Of Labor at a special meeting today. Ap- plication to the President may be pre- sented to him on his arrival in Chicago shortly.
 The use of Federal troops in Chl- cago to protect the handling of money for the United States treasury IS m the hands of Colonel W. F. Duggan. acting commander of the Department of the Lakes.
 'sThe matter is in abeyance, de- clared Colonel Hunter Leggitt. Colonel Duggan's secretary. Colonel Duggan has received instructions to take the proper steps but there Is no occasion at present for any troops in Chicago. If the strikers should attempt to pre- vent the moving of bullion from the trains to the sub-treasury of course tt would be necessary to bring an army wagon or two from Fort sheridan, pos sibly with a guard of one or two men, to handle the money. At present we do not contemplate such a move and no instructions have been sent to the post. I understand the teamsters have offered to continue to drive the wag- ons handling government business with or without compensation during the strike, so that 1t looks that even the presence of a government wagon will not be necessary. There is abso- lutely no truth in the talk of sending troops to Chicago now"
