RIOT ON FALSE ALARM.
Lcthbrfdge Mob Wrecks Chinese Res

tnurants and Launlries.
LETHBRIDGE, Alberta. Dec. 2S.-
Because they believed that prominent
citizen had been murdered in a Chi
nese restaurant LOO men raided and
wrecked the oriental quarter. Restau-
rants and laundries were smashed.
The regular police of the town were
powerless, and force of the North
west mounted police had to be called
out to quell the riot.
A story was circulated that Harry
Smith, a well known cattle rancher,
had Teen fatally wounded In restau-
rant. Neither Smith nor any one else
had been hurt, but the police were
misled by the tale, and two Cinnamon
were arrested charged with the muir
der.
A mob gathered, and there was talk
ofelynehing. Suddenly some one threw
a stone. which smashed front win
dow of the restaurant. In moment
the crowd was beyond control.
Bricks and stones were hurled, and
the doors We're broken In and the tables
and chairs and dishes smashed. The
Columbia and Alberta restaurants We're
wrecked.
Hundreds of the rioters merely shift
ed the scene of the pillaging. Three
blocks away, opposite the Arlington
hotel, they cleaned out another Chinese
restaurant and severely handled two
men who were caught within.
Mayor Galbraith and Magistrate
Townsend both addressed the mob and
urged 1t to disperse, and as all possible
damage had been done 1t obeyed.

New York Police Dump Thousands Of
Weapons In Deep Blue Sea.

Weapons In Deep Blue Sea.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The police de-
partment boat Patrol consigned to the
mighty deep more than 5000 pounds
of weapons extracted during the last
three months from the inside pockets
of the clothes Of careless New York
ers. In all there were 1000 imple-
ments of self defense Of every variety
known to the ingenuity of man In
ages past and present.
Revolvers, chiefly of up to date de-
sign, predominated, but there were
ugly looking daggers sword canes, sti-
lettos and even blackjacks,
1t will be of little use for expert
founder fishers or for the most daring
of divers to seek to regain the weap-
ons that were dropped into the waters
of the outer bay. The ugly collection
was not dropped In one spot, not mere
ly to prevent the obstruction of navi-
CATION, but to do away with the pos
sibility of a secondhand dealer sending
dredging machine down the bay on
little tour of speculation. The weap-
ons were tossed overheard as the Pa
troll steamed along ten miles out from
quarantine.
This is the second consignment to
the fishing banks of weapons since the
new law that went into effect in Sep
TENDER gave the police department the
right to get rid Of Its ever increasing
museum of confiscated weapons by
dropping the same into the broad At
lantic.

MANY MAY Die FROM INJURIES
Hot Goals From Locomotive Set Cars
on Fire Prompt Action OF Firemen
Saved Those Caught.

CAMDEN, n. j., Dec. 2S.-Three per-
sons were killed and eighteen injured
In collision on the elevated tracks of
the Pennsylvania railroad just outside
the station here when Pemberton
accommodation train ran into the rear
OF an Atlantic City express. A heavy
fog was the principal cause of the ac-
cident
The dead are: G. ii. Brown, Moores-

leg broken.
All those killed or injured were pas
sengers in the first car of the Pember-
ton accommodation. The fog was so
thick that the engineers of the two
trains were running cautiously. and
just outside the station the Atlantic
City train was signaled to stop. The
engineer of the Pemberton train failed
to see the Atlantic City train in time
to avoid a collision, but he instantly
damned his brakes down when it loom
ed up through the fog. The sudden
jolt forced the tender OF the Pember-
ton train info the first car. wrecking
1t badly and killing or .injuring every
body in the coach.
The train. however, did not come TO
a full stop. but slid into the rear of the
Atlantic City express, causing the ten
der to still further telescope the first
car. The force Of the collision was
slight, and no one was injured on the
forward train.
Hot Goals from the wrecked locomo-
tive of the Pelnbertonh train set the
wreckage on fire. and ii was at first
feared that many of the injured pas
sengers who were pinioned under the
heavy twisted iron and wood would
be burned to death, but the prompt
action of the fire department in extin-
gushing the flames and the efficient
rescue work of the uninjured passen-
gers undoubtedly saved many lives.
Several of the injured may die.

LOWER RENTS FOR
THE PEOPLE OF
EAST SIDE
Crusade Started in New York
Tenement Districts
BROOK YIN MAKES AN OFFER
Pauline Newman, Young Woman So.
c!alist and Leader Of Movement,
Urges United Action.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.- Real estate
agents from Brooklyn went into the
crowded tenement house districts on
the east side of Manhattan last night
and tried to do missionary work in
their own interests by urging the ten
ants, who are now engaged in q cru
SADIE for lower rents, to move to Brook
Ign. But activity Of outsiders did not
seem to disturb the local real estate
owners and agents. One Of them said
that the east slider is a clannish crea-
ture and likes to associate with the
friends and neighbors whom he has
known since his arrival from Europe.
"A majority of them come right
here from the steamers that bring
them over or from the immigrant sta
tion," he said. "They stay here, too,
until such time as they have earned
their little piles and can move else
where"
At the Socialist party headquarters
on Grand street 1t was learned that
the evictions which have been made
since the rent strike was decided
upon have no real connection with the
movement. Such evictions are for
failure to pay rent for the present and
past months. The crucial point win
come, If at ALL when the collectors
make their January calls.
There were tenement house meetings
on almost every block last night. Fora
the most part these were impromptus
gatherings, without any attempt at or
ganization, but each was marked by
many declarations of war against the
landlords. Many of the tenants were
of the opinion that their end could
best be accomplished by resisting at
tempts at collecting present rents and
affording shelter to persons evicted
There were others who favored more
drastic measures, and many tenants
discussed combined stand against
the marshals in the event Of evictions.
Pauline Newman, who is reputed to
be the woman leader of the strike
moeyment, is in favor of moderation.
She has told the women associated
with her that they can hope to win by
united action If they are careful to
keep within the law and that the land
lords, If a united front is presented to
them, will be bound to yield rather
than fight out thousands of dispossoss
cases in the municipal courts.
