DENY THEY STARTED RIOT.
Officers of Union Say Strikebrcakers
Caused Trouble.


To the Public-Statement have been
published in the daily papers of Thurs
day regarding the misconduct of
number Of men on strike for improved
conditions from the United Railroads
statements which allege that men,
women and children were dragged from
the street cars and seriously maltreated
by the laborers referred to. We have
made a careful and searching inVesti-
cation of all the circumstances at
fed that the published accounts greatly
exaggerate what occurred.
Such disturbance as occurred was
caused by one Of the strikers meeting
q foreman in the employ Of the United
Railroads who had assaulted and badly
beaten this striker in the early part
Of the day Later, when the striker
met this man and told q number OF his
associates what had occurred, their
anger caused them to forget for the
moment the repeated instructions of
their leaders to maintain order at all
times. This disturbance, however, was
quickly quelled by officers of the Con-
struction Workers Union present
Later several OF the strikers met four
or FIVE strikebreakers on car. No
effort was made to assault the strik-
evidently fearing that trouble might
occur, ordered the union men from the
car. and one of these men was struck
on the head and temporarily disabled
for not complying quickly with the
order to leave the car. We find no
evidence to justify the statements that
any of these men molested In any man
ner passengers on the car or threatened
TO do so. We are anxious that the
public thoroughly understand that the
officers Of the Construction WorkerT
Union have repeatedly warned tn
members that violence OF any descrip
tion will not be tolerated. and If an-
Of the members disregard this intunc
tion they will be severely discipline
by the organization.
We feel confident that our demand
on the United Railroads are based or
absolute justice; that we can only Sc
cure a redress of our grievances by
conducting the strike in a peaceable
and orderly manner, and it is our pur
pose to firmly adhere to this policy.
One OF the most serious things w"
have had to contend with is the action
or employment agents in endeavoring
to arouse race antipathies among our
members, creating dlssension and lack
OF confidence of one nationality in the
good purpose of other races. The en-
pioyment agents have proited greatly
in the past by exacting monthly trib-
ute from the non -English-speaking
laborers. and of course will be averse
tc having this source of revenue cut
off. This vicious system IS eliminated
by the organization under the A. F.
of L.
Regretting that any of our members,
even under the provocation noted,
should have for an instant forgotten
tho strict instructions given them to
pl eserve the peace at all times, we are
very respectfully yours,
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS UNION.

was surprised 10 find. instead of the

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 19.-The At
lantic City police have been asked for
Information by several Philadelphia
women about Charles E. Lockhart, who,
unoer the claim of being detective
ano single man, is charged with hav-
ing obtained money from his victims
under the promise of marriage. Lock-
hart was arrested in this city on Au-
gust 1, and was induced by local de-
tectiyes to return some bonds and
stocks that he had succeeded in get
ting from one of his victims The
woman from whom he got the Sc
curlt1es, however, did not press the
charge after the certificates had been
returned to her.
Since then Miss Eva N. Campbell, the
daughter of the late Archibald Camp
bell, millionaire mill owner of Maya
nunk, has informed the City Hall de-
tect1ves that Lockhart made love to
her. asked her to marry him and in
weighed her into giving him about $1,000
Which he told her he needed for a
transaction that would net him large
profits
Within the past few days N w. Pull
sifer of 3022 Susquehanna avenue has
asked for Lockhart's record, as Lock
hart was about to marry his daughter
This inquiry has led to the knowledge
that Lockhart is married man, living
with his wife in Atlantic City. Pulsifer
told the Atlantic City police that the
young man had for some time been
making violent love to his daughter
Emma, and that he had received con-
siderable money from the family un-
der most plausible propositions.
The police say that Miss Campbell
and Miss Pulsifer are not the only ones
victimized by Lockhart.

SIMILARITY IN NAMES
CAUSES MUCH CONFUSION
Five Families Living in the Same Block
I'm Martinez Responsible for
Peculiar Mix-Uu.

MARTINEZ, Aug. 1s.-In one small
block in this city reside FIVE families
with similarity of names that creates
confusion among the merchants and
their friends. The families in question
are the Stotts, Colts. Watts, Bolts and
Scots The Stotts and Watts frequent
ly chat over teacups with the Colts.
while the Bolts and SCOTS go shopping
together. Almost all of them have teIe-
phones and when ordering from grocer
or butcher it sometimes requires sew
eral minutes to determine which one Of
the quintet is at the phone.
Should a friend call up Mrs. Gott and
ask for Mrs. Stott across the street IL is
a perplexing matter to determine which
of the five is wanted, or whether the
speaker at the other end of the line has
the right number.

HINT To NATIONAL
BANK DIRECTORS.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Treas
uEy Department purposes making an
example of national bank directors who
by constantly ignoring the law threaten
the solvency of the banks with which
they are connected. Hereafter the law
regulating loans by national banks is
to be rigidly enforced and the first
bank that willfully violates it will have
its charter forfeited.
This statement was made today by
an official of the treasury while dis
cussing the failure of the First Ma
tional Bank of Chelsea, Mass. The
downfall of this bank was due to a
practice OF which a surprisingly large
number of other banks are guilty
excessive loans to bank directors and
officers.
Treasury Department that two-thirds
of the banks habitually disregarded the
limitations of the law in regard to the
loans that many made What was
more the department was regularly
informed of these violations, which
were reported by bank examiners.
1t has long been the custom OF the
Comptroller's office to condone these
unlawful acts, and beyond calling the
offending banks attention to the ex-
cessive loans and perhaps an admo-
milton to avoid a repetition of the
offense nothing is done.
