CHICAGO POLICEMEN PREVENT
ITS FLOATING WITH DRAWN
REvoLVERS.

Chicago, May 1.-Two hundred men,
calling themselves socialists, attempt
ed to march through TIE streets un-
der the red flag, and were prevented
by the police.
AS soon as word was brought to the
police that a parade under the red
flag was projected, fifty policemen un-
der the command of Sergeant Michael
Sullivan were at once sent to Michi-
gan avenue and North Clark street,
where it was said that the parade was
forming. The officers found large
number of men wearing red badges,
and just about to set out on their pa
rade. They were at once informed
that the red flag could not be unfurl-
ed, and that il the parade took place
at all it must be with the flags tightly
rolled.
The men, two hundred strong, start
ed without the flags, and marched to
Douglas park, five miles away. Be-
fore one-fifth of the distance had been
covered the parade had been greatly
reduced in number. A meeting was
held later in the park, and speeches
were made under the eye of the police,
who had orders to break it up il lhe
utterances of the speakers became in
cendiary.
When the column was passing the
corner of Congress street and Ogden
avenue one of the flag bearers, named
Edward w. Ladzilnski, unfurled his
red flag and was at once placed under
arrest. Several of his companions at
tempted to take him from the police
and the officers drew their revolvers
and they declared they would fire If
any attempt was made to interfere
with them. The marchers gave way
when the weapons were drawn, but
threw stones after the patrol wagon
that carried w. Ladzilnsh to the po-
lice station.

SHOOTING ST|RS
ANGER OF MINERS
INCIDENT AT MOUNT CARMEL
MAYHAsTEN STRIKE VOTE.
FEAR OF RUSSIAN METHODS
Foreign Mine Workers Feel Enlist
ment Of State Constabulary Indi-
Gates Transplanting Of Impe-
rial Institution.

Philadelphia, May e. Local
branches af the United Mine Workers
In the anthracite region are electing
delegates to the tri-district convention
which is to be held in Scranton on
Thursday, and most Of them are re-
ported to be instructing their dele
gates to follow President Mitehelrs
advice implicitly.
The feeling is still strong that some
way will be opened by which a strike
may be ayerted, although there is no
question but that the shooting at
Mount Carmel, which is generally be-
lieved by the mine workers to have
been unjustifed, has aroused a sullen
anger that may lead to a strong
movement In favor Of a strike.
Mitchell Deplores Shooting.
Z President Mitchell, who is at
wilkesbarre, when questioned about
the matter, expressed his feelings as
follows: THE action Of the troopers
there seems to confirm the fears of
the foreigners that the establish
ment OF a state constabulary was to
incorporate a Russian institution in
this country. The shooting was
seemingly uncalled for and is greatly
to be deplored."
Further than this he would say
nothing, refusing to predict its prob
able influence upon the convention.
Employment Agent Is Baked.
An employment agent, who opened
an ofice in Wilkesbarre in an effort
to secure mine workers to go to the
Virginia coal fields, was unsuccess-
full in his efforts, as those who hao
intended to go were warned by the
union officials to stay away, because
of unsettled conditions there.
President Mitchell went to Scran-
ton this morning and established
headquarters. A meeting Of the
miners subscale committee will be
held there during the afternoon.
Quiet at Mount Carmel.
The peace of Mount Carmel, which
was Monday the scene of a serious
shooting affray, was not disturbed
Tuesday. While the situation is
still somewhat tense because Of the
unfriendly feeling stirred up among
the non-English speaking mine work
ers towards the state constabulary, it
is believed the trouble is over and
that the town will assume its normal
condition.
Chief Burgess Penman and num-
Der of citizens, some of whom are
mine workers, patrolled the principal
streets Tuesday night along with the
regular town policemen and warned
people to remain quiet and not to
congregate in large numbers.
Stories Stir Mine Workers.
Stories are in circulation among
the idle mine workers that some
members Of the constabulary are
eager to ride into town and demons
trate that they were not intimidated
by Mondays events, and the Burgess
and his assistants are doing every
thing they can to dissuade the mine
workers from interfering With the
troopers in case they should pass
through the streets. The state police,
however, have no present intention of
riding through the streets Of the town
unless their presence is needed to
protect property or restore tranquilli-
ty wherever the peace may be broken.

Miss Anna Gould bought a for
eign count, much the same as her
father might have purchased a rail
way. Had she consulted a long list
of presidents she might have learn
ed that a French count, or any other
kind Of count for that matter, is
not as good an investment as an
American railway. An inherited
title is no evidence of genuine worth.
1t more often represents hollow
mockery, a Dead Sea fruit that
tempts the eye but turns to ashes on
the lip. Anna Gould and Count
Boni have taken their marital
troubles into court and that means
the end Of their marital happiness.
