Police Precautions to Keep the
Peace on May Day Fail to
Satisfy the Public.
BOMB EXPLODED IN STREET
INCIDENT ADDS TO GENERAL
ALARM.

Paris, April 2S.-The government has
completed preparations for dealing
with the May day situation and is con-
fdent that the day will pass without
serious disorder, but at the same time
the public, which is not in the least
treasured by the elaborate military
concentration, is showing great uneasi-
ness.
This has been accentuated by the
explosion of a bomb Friday night I'M
der the important railroad bridge at
Argenteuill in the suburb Of Paris,
which links the capital with HaVre,
and by an Gttempt this evening of a
band of a hundred striking jewellers to
penetrate the populous center Of the
Place de POpera for the purpose of
making a demonstration before the
great jewelTy establishments in the
Rue de la RaiX. The activity of the
police in Making more searches and
seizures. although designed to insure
the safety, also has had the effect of
increasing pU. lie apprehension, many
persons believing that extraordinary
efforts indicate the seriousness of the
situation.

Gall Enough to Complain.

At the ruins of the Hopkins Art In
stitute and the Stanford residence a
guard is maintained, and yesterday
men and women who had been gather
ing relics in the ruins of other houses
along Pine and California streets, COM
planned vigorously against the refusal
of the guards to permit them to enter
upon the ruins where the Stanford and
Croker homes once stood. Their pre-
vious knowledge of the character of
the house furnishings convinced them
that the profits of IOOting would be
great.
Among the ruins of many of the fam
lily hotels the hooters have been very
fortunate. And in the ashes of pawn
brOking establishments they have
gathered trinkets which no money will
ever redeem. There is no limit to the
endurance of the hooters nor to the eff
forts they will make to acquire some
thing of value.
All Kinds of Plumber.
A man was observed on lower Pine
street yesterday carrying a cash regis
ter which he had dug from the ashes
TOiling and sweating under his burden
he was making his way toward the
ferry until advised by a friendly sentry
that he had better leave it. Another
man boarded the boat carrying a meal
sack filled with expensive plates and
Chinatown. Women scrambled for a
place to rest, being wearied by the
days quest for loot. One man carried
a full dozen plates of expensive Chi
neSe ware, handmade and decorated
which were priced by a former Chinese
merchant as being worth SO apiece
Cups and saucers, vases and dishes
bronze and brass ornaments have
found their way into many humble
homes on the other side of the bay at
no other expense than the cost of
ferry ticket and three or four hours
digging among the ashes.
Efforts have been made by the milf-
tary authorities to stop the Iooting, but
it would require a large force to patrol
all the district in which the work is
being carried on. 1t is probable that
if the lOoting continues, the authorities
will be forced to revert to the system
of allowing no one to enter the city ex-
cept those who have pass explaining
their business and right to be here.

SERIOUS TROUBLE
FOR THE SULTAN
Great Britain Likely to Send an
UItimatum to Ruler of
Turkey.
MAY BE A DEMONSTRATION
DISPUTE is OVER OCCUPATION
OF TABAH, EGYPT.

London, April 2S.-The patience of Great
Britain with Turkey over the Tabah af-
fair is about exhausted, and it was under
stood at the foreign office today that if
the sultan does not accede to the British
demands there will be another demonstra-
ton before a Turkish port within a short
lime Some months have elapsed since
the Egyptian government discovered that
turkish troops had occupied Tabah, here
tOtore considered to be an unimpOrtant
port at the head of the Gulf of Akabah.
turkey so Great Britain believes, occu-
pied Tabdh because she feared that
Egypt, which proposed to extend a short
line OF railroad to that port, would obtain
control of the Gulf of Akabah. But Great
Britain claims that this is far from being
the intention of Egypt. AS soon as occu-
patton OF Tabah was discovered Egypt
asked Turkey for an explanation and the
sultan in reply contended that Tabah was
within his emDire.

LOOTERS REAP
RICH HARVEST
Everything of Value Being Car
ried Away From San Fran
cisco Burned District.
HUNDREDS DIG IN RUINS
VISITORS MAY BE KEPT OUT OF
THE CITY.

San Francisco, April 2S.-Greater in
number than the military forces guard
ing the lives and property in this city
is the army of lOoterS that has taken
possession of San Francisco. From
early in the morning until late at night
every boat from across the bay brings
hundreds of people whose sole purpose
in visiting the city is to dig among the
ruins and carry off such articles OF
value as they are able to find with a
small amount of effort. Laden with
suit cases, baskets, bags and satchels,
they come, eager to grab from the
streets and houses anything that may
have possible historical or pecuniary
value. Toward nightfaIl they wend
their way across the bay, carrying the
heavy profits of their days labor.
Army of Looters.
Although strict orders We're given at
the beginning of the military rule that
all persons detected in the act of loot
ing should be shot the rigOr of this reg
ulatiOn has been relaxed and now the
army of Ioters is in full possession of
the blackened ruins. Throughout old
Chinatown and along Kearney street,
where bazaars filled with Oriental
wares once stood, the harvest of loot
has been particularly rich. Men. wOm-
en- and children, fearing neither the
presence of the military nor the danger
of tumbling walls, swarm bout the
ruins with great profit to themselves.
In many of the Chinese and Japanese
stores, when the fire approached, the
proprietors buried a large part of their
stock in the easements, intending to
return after the fire had passed and
recover what they could. They never
came back.
Stole What the Fire Left.
The terrors of the rocking earth and
the sweep OF fame was too much for
! their Oriental minds; but the hooters
came, and everything that was of any
use or value has been carried away.
The merchants who hoped to save
something out OF which they could re-
establish themselves will never find
any of the stock which they left except
by searching through the homes where
lOoters dwell.
The work of the hooters has not been
confined alone to the ruins of stores
and houses. Many residence sites have
been worked over" and articles of
gold, silver and china carried away.
The banks have established guards
about their premises, but very few of
the owners of homes have taken this
precaution.

Mount Pleasant, April 24.-There is
an interesting case in the district court
here, an injunction being served at the
instigation of Joseph Richenberg, on
r. d. Dewey, stranger whose business
transactions are called in question.
Last week Dewey drove out to the
residence Of Joseph Richenberg ~
Marion township and represented that
he was an agent for patent feed
cooker which was something above the
ordinary and which was selling all the
way from $3.50 to $25. He desired Mr.
Richenberger to become an agent for
him. Richenberger was induced 10
give two notes to r. d. Dewey & Co,
one for 5000 and one for $3.50 1t was
understood that these notes We're an
advance payment on six year con-
tract and that Mr.. Dewey would hold
them for six months.
Mr.. Richenberger became suspicious
of the transaction and soon found that
Mr.. Dewey was attempting to dispose
of his notes in violation Of the agree
ment. Accordingly Mr. Richenberger
filed an injunction suit to restrain
Dewey from disposing of the notes, and
claims that the cookers We're not worth
any ways near what was represented.
He Saws the whole transaction was a
fraudulent one. Judge Withrow grant
ed the temporary injunction.
