THENCE IN ROW OVER PiTTe-
BURG SITE.

In connection with the site for the pro-
posed new postoffice building were In
dignantly denied by Secretary Shaw
here yesterday. The secretary came
to Pittsburg to make a personal In
spection of the various site offered,
and while comforting with representa-
tives of various commercial organiza-
tons declared he would give $1,000
for the name of the man who made the
charges. Mr.. Shaw said he was unable
to select location that would please
everybody, but denied having any rc"
sonal feeling in the matter. Durl-.s
the proceedings Mr.. Shaw snapped his
fingers in the face of H. d. w. English,
chairman of the chamber of commerce,
who thereupon left in disgust, declar-
ing the hearing was farce.
The charges of graft grew out Of the
recent visit of Pittsburg real estate
men to Washington.

MEN and WOMEN CUT DOWN
HAMILTON, ONT, STREET CAR
STRIKE CAUSES FURIOUS
VIOLENCE.

Hamilton, Ont, Nov. 27. - Never in
HamiltOn's history were such scenes
of disorder and lawlessness seen as
were enacted in the principal streets
of the city Saturday night.
Scores of rioters, sympathizers WIN
the striking street car men, felt the
weight of policemen's night sticks and
the keen edge of the soldiers swords
in conflicts.
Attacks on streets cars began as
early as o'clock. The police welded
their clubs freely, but the situation
grew too serious for them to handle.
Sheriff Middleton was notified and
read the riot act, which makes every
able-bodied citizen amenable to police
duty. He also notified Capt. Ogilvie
that the aid of troops had become nee
essary to maintain order.
Charge Is RemorseIess.
At 8 o'clock a concerted effort was
made by the police and soldiers to
clear the streets. The police charged
this crowd first. The officers were
met with jeers and insults.
Smashing right and left with their
heavy night sticks, the police waded
into the crowd. Men and women sui
fered alike and soon the pavement was
marked by many unconscious forms.
The mob. realizing that the police
meant business this time. began to re-
taliate with stones and other missiles
Cavalry Disperses Mob.
1t this point the clatter of horses
is on the pavement announced the
,roach of the cavalry, and the
crowd, attacked from both sides, broke
and fed down side streets and through,
alleyways. The streets are strewn
with debris and many plate glass win
dows in stores we're broken by flying
missiles
Nearly one hundred people were
treated at the hospitals for slight in,
juries.
Sunday was marked by unusual quiet
on the streets. The officials of the rail-
way company do not believe the trou-
BILE is at an end, however.
