BLOODY FIGHT IN STREETS.
Strikers Battle for an Hour In San
Franciscc-Eight Men Shot Women
and Children are TrampIed on

San Francisco, Cal, May 7.-Strike
breakers in the uniforms of inspectors,
and strikers and their sympathizers.
fought this afternoon on Turk street
for more than an hour. Eight men were
shot, among them a policeman, and De-
tective Bell. Several of the men will
die. The shooting was done by strike
breakers from car windows, in response
to showers of paving stone and bricks
hurled by the mob.
FIGHT AT THE BARNS.
Finally dozen or more of the guards
were arrested by reserves from the
central police station, and a union crowd
boarded the rearmost car and started it
back to the barns.
Arriving there, the strikers charged.
and revolver fire was opened from the
barns. In this encounter several more
men were shot. A non-union man
threw the switch at Turk and Fillmore
streets, and the derailed car shot into
the sidewalk, manning two men, whose
names have not been learned. In the
stampede that followed, scores of wom-
en- and children were trampled upon.
The appearance of relief sqnads to
reinforce Police Captain MONEYS men
resulted about 4:S0 o'clock in the par
tial dispensing of the crowds.
RESERVES CALLED OUT.
A rumor has it that Superintendent
Chapman was seen about o'clock driv
ing rapidly on Golden Gate avenue, in
an automobile that was dashed with
blood. There is no confirmation of the
rumor that Mr.. Chapman was wounded.
Practically all of the police reserves at
the various precinct stations have been
called out, and are now patrolling the
neighborhood of Fillmore and Turk
streets.

POLL TAXES SHOW DECREASE.
Over 5000 Men in Washington County
viii Not BE Allowed to Vote.

Abingdon, Va, May 6.-The time for
the voter to pay his poll tax and vote
IN the next election expired Saturday.
On that day forty delinquents in this
county paid up. Since the first of
Jar uary two hundred and sixtv-one
citizens in the county reported by the
treasurer as being delinquent for the
years 1sO4-5, squared accounts and are
now qualified to vote.
Both political parties are claiming
that the poll tax situation in this coun-
ty has been worked up closely, but an
examination of the books reveals quite
different state of facts. Out of
2,349 electors who were reported delin-
quent in l9O4-5, only 26l have qualified
themselves to vote.
Counting those who are delinquent
for the year 1903, there are at the very
least 5000 men in Washington county
who will not be allowed to cast a ballot
IN the next election.
