FATAL RIOTS IN BELFAST.
One Killed and Many Wounded by the
Soldiers.

Belfast, Aug. 13.-Serious and fatal
disorders occurred here again Mon
day evening. The troops fired into
the crowd and woman and man
were shot dead and number of 9th
ers were seriously wounded.
The conflict between the soldiers
and the rioters took place in the vi
cinity of the constabulary barracks in
the Cullingtree road. The trouble be-
came acute about six o'clock when a
mob of men and women attacked a
police inspector. Soldiers were at
once summoned to the scene, but they
were met by hail of paving stones
which resulted in emptying some of
the saddles.
The riot act was read, but the mad
dened mob refused to dispense and
kept up a terrific fusillade of stones,
broken bottles and brickbats against
the police and the military. Bayonet
and baton charges failed to rout the
frenzied rioters and ultimately the or
der to fire was given.
The number wounded from the rifle
fire and the bayonet charges, and 9TH
erwise injured, is very great, and the
hospitals are oyercrowded.

TRYING TO make
HARTMAN ANSWER
GOVERNMENT BEGINS PROCEED.
INGS TO FORCE REPLIES TO
QUESTIONS.
Kahn Also Is lnvoIved-Facts Relat-
ing to Control of the Chicago & Al
ton Sought from the Magnate and
Banker.

New York, Aug. 13.-United States
District Attorney Stimson Monday
filed in the United States circuit court
in this city a petition that E. H. Har-
riman and Otto H. Kahn, the latter of
the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., be
why they should not answer certain
questions relating to the control of
the Chicago & Alton railroad.
These questions were asked during
the interstate commerce commissions
investigation of the Chicago & Alton
several months ago. Mr.. Stimson act
ed for Attorney General Bonaparte in
filing the petition.
Hartman Wouldn't Answer.
In 1904 the Union Pacific purchased
Kuhn, Loeb e Co. at S61a. The stock
was deposited with the bankers with
the understanding that it was to be
sold to the Union Pacific at price
to be made by committee composed
of Mr.. Hartman, John A. Stewart and
John ]. Mitchell. At the hearing Mr..
Hartman was asked what part of the
stock so disposed of he owned. This
question he refused to answer
Mr.. Hartman also refused to an
swer questions as to the amount of
his holding of Union Pacific preferred,
nor would he state the holdings of H.
H. Rogers, H. G. Ffick and himself in
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. Other
questions which Mr.. Hartman de-
clined to answer had to do with his
interest in the purchase of 100000
shares of Illinois Central, the famous
ten per cent. dividend of the Southern
Pacific road and his own profits &C.
casioned by the sudden rise in this
stock following the declaration of this
dividend.
What Kahn Wouldn't Tell.
The questions which Mr.. Kahn re.
fused to answer had to do with the
connection of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. with
the purchase of stock in the Chicago
e Alton and the Illinois Central and
what portion of the stock so purchased
was for the directors of the Union
Pacific
Neither Mr.. Hartman nor Mr.. Kahn
could be found by the deputy marshal
who was given the order to serve, but
service was accepted by their attor-
neys. The order issued on the petit
ton is returnable before Judge La
combe October Fl.

A perfect housekeeper may not be
q real homemaker. Her kitchen and
bedrooms may be spotless and her
dinners fit for an epicrre; but If she
never has an hour for reading, or
leisure to play with her children or to
talk with her husband, she is failure
as wife and mother. Somewhere be-
tween perfection and sIovenliness
there lies a golden mean. To reach

man, who preferred clothes free from

houses where the dragon of laziness
and disorder devours both comfort
