Chicago Threatened With a
Race War.
A Riot Last Night Resulted In the
Death Of One--f,O 900 Men
Wreck u Building.
THE STRIKE IS SPREADING

Chicago, May 22.--Chicago Is
threatened with race war of ser.-
Gus proportions. Embitterei by the
shooting of Enoch Carlson, the s
year old boy last week by two ne
groes residents in the vicinity of
29th and Dearborn streets have arm
ed themselves and clashes between
white and colored men have become
so frequent that it has been found
necessary to detail scores of police
men In the district to preserve peace.
Even this precaution has been un-
successful in keeping the opposing
factions apart.
In riot which broke out in this
district last night between whites and
blacks, James Gray, colored was
killed, Harry Bernstein, white. was
mortally wounded and the building
in which Bernstein was being held
captive, suffering from four bulle.
POLES was stoned and partially wrec-
ked by mob of 1000 persons.
When ordered to deliver material

bound establishment, drivers for the
Edward Hines Lumber company, re-
fused and were discharged. All the
concerns teamters, about a hundred,
hen walked out. In a number of 9TH
er cases walkouts are reported TO:
similar reasons, indicating a spread
CT the strike to the lumber interests
of the city.
Sunday brought no change in the
attitude of either side of the labor
controversy, and everything points
to an extension of the teamsters'
strike to many other business houses
during the week. The officials of
seven express companies. whose refu-
sal TO reinstate any of their striking
employees caused the collapse of the
settlement of the trouble Saturday,
still adhere to their intention not to
give employment TO any of their for
mer employees, and the other firms
involved in the difficulty declared
that they would stand by the express
companies in the fight. The Team
sters' Union has taken just as firm a
stand as the employers. and 1t was
stated by President Shea that the
union would never call off the strike
until the express companies come to
terms.
AT. the end of a conference vest sr-
day Mayor Dunno said: 'Should
there be an extension of the strike,
and the rioting of two weeks ago re-
sumed, there is a probability that
troops will be called on to maintain
order"

GAME PROTESTED
PADUCAH CLAIMS BLACKBURN,
JUST FROM THE TOLEDO
BUNCH.
He Was Played Yesterday by Cairo,
and ON This the Game Is Pro-
tested.

The management of the Paducah
baseball club has protested the game
won by Cairo yesterday. The protest,
however, is not to have the game
counted In favor of Paducah, but sim
ply to have the higher authorities
decide who is entitled to Blackburn,
who arrived yesterday and played
part of the game with Cairo.
Blackburn was with Clarksville
last year. and was one of the crack
X. |. r. players signed by Toledo. He
wanted to leave Toledo, and had been
promised to Paducah. Mr.. John w.
Keller states that the contract Black
burn signed with Toledo specified
was to come TO Paducah. II was
learned that Toledo was willing TO
let him go, and Saturday several
wires were exchanged between him
and the local management, and final
ly the money for him was telegraph
ed. but Il was afterwards learned was
not taken out of the office
Blackburn came on and Joined
Cairo. He was not played the first
of yesterdays game, but was rung in
in the 8th and 9Th innings, IL is
claimed. in place of Price batting
once aud playing two innings, and
not even the Official scorer was noti-
fled OF IL,
The Paducan management does not
care about that, however, as IL real
ICES that Cairo won fairly because
Paducah made costly errors, and
Blackburn had nothing TO do with IL.
The Paducah management, however,
claims Blackburn, and Is going to
take the matter to Secretary Farrell,
and In event he Is awarded to Padu-
cal, the games in which he plays with
Cairo In the meantime will have to
be played over, according to the local
officials. The only object in protest
ing is to get the ownership of Black
burn settled. Blackburn says Toledo
