An Opportunity to Get a 10
Per Cent Investment.

Why not convert your
dwelling house or vacant
property into something that
will pay you 1919 or 1870
net? We represent a num-
Der of apartment houses that
can be traded. The owners
will trade the equity in them
subject to a reasonable mort
gage and take clear dwellings,
and lots as payment. There
are many persons owning
dwelling houses valued at
from 10000 to $4,000 who
do not receive over 40 or
$50 from the rentals. These
houses may be very desirable
as homes for the owners, but
when it comes to renting
them they do not pay at all.
We will give you an oppor-
tunity to convert such hold
ings into equities that will
pay you 1919 and 1870.

Other Outbreaks.

There were outbreaks at several other
points yesterday and last night. and the at
titude Of both sides to the dispute was
that it was to be fought to finish. An in
offensive theater usher was mobbed in West
street because he was taken for James Far
ley, the strikebreaker, and the reserves of
the Charles street station had to be called
out to protect him; an attack was made on
detectives by the strikers, and a number
of strikebreakers who were taken to
Brooklyn on barges were attacked and
stoned. Last night when the strikebreak-
ers knocked of work they were waylaid in
side streets and beaten, and some Of them
were even attacked and beaten In street
cars.
The transportation companies it was an
nounced. decided at a meeting of their rep
resentatives unanimously to resist the de-
mands to the end, as they say they cannot
afford the wages demanded at the present
rates they are. getting for freight, and most
of the transatlantic liners are sailing with
only part of their cargoes.
The strikers refused to listen to an offer
to arbitrate the strike In case he employ
ers are willing, saying that they will re-
main. out until the full demands are
granted
The situation was 50 serious, In the esti-
nation Of Police Commissioner Bingham
that he gave orders that all the police were
to be held at stations in readiness while the
strike lasts. to be ready for emergencies
This means that no policemen, even when
of duty. will be allowed to go home or leave
the police station. The police were busy
at knocking-off time last night protecting
strikebreakers who started for their homes
and were assailed by strikers or their sym.
pathizers.

Police Attack Mob.

A mounted policeman halted passing
trolley car and sent word by the motor
man to Capt Dreamer Of the Bedford ave-
nue. station, five blocks away. Then he and
three other policemen sailed into the fight
ing mob.
The policemen distracted the attention
of enough rioters to find themselves In bad
way in a very short time. One OF them
was struck by a blackjack and two others
were knocked down and being kicked When
Capt. Dreamer arrived with forty men.
The captain had kept this number OF men
In reserve for just such an emergency.
When the captain saw the job he mad IN
hand he sent a hurry call for extra re-
serves from the Greenpoint station.
After a hard fight the rioters were sub
dued. Twenty-Five men. mostly Italians,
lay in the street with badly cut heads and
bruised bodies. 1t took surgeons from the
Eastern District and Williamsburg hospitals
over an hour and half to dress their
wounds.
The police believe that number who
were shot were carried away by friends.
Twelve arrests were made.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The strike of 10000
longshoremen along the water front of
Manhattan and Brooklyn, which had been
marked all day by small outbreaks against
the new men, eliminated at O. clock last
night in one of the worst riots Of the strike
at Wythe avenue and Metropolitan avenue,
Brooklyn, between 800 Italian strike break
ers and large number of strikers and their
sympa thizers. When it was over more than
two-score of strikebreakers were laid out on
the street with broken heads, and all UNI
able to rise.
Agents have been recruiting workmen in
the Frost street Italian quarter Of Brook
Ign. Before daylight yesterday morning
a fleet of tugs carried over 1000 of these
strikebreakers to the tied-up piers. At
the end of their days work steam lighter
landed 300 of them at the recreation pier
at the foot of Metropolitan avenue,
Brooklyn. s.4.---
The striking longshoremen had been
tipped off and over 500 of them were wait
ing Just outside the pier for the Italians.
All were armed with clubs, knives, brass
knuckles and many carried paving blocks
or iron bars.
The ranks of the longshoremen were aug
mented by large number of strikers from
the sugar refineries in the nighborhood.
Altogether there were about 1000 waiting
for the 800 Italians.
The landing of the Italians was followed
by a number Of pistol shots. and then
trouble broke loose in all directions. There
were men on the roofs to throw bricks at
the Italians, and there were men on the
pavements to punch. kick and blackjack
them. Fists, clubs, knives and revolvers

The fact that the conflict may affect conditions in the canal zone has been the main reason for the thought that the president would interfere, but the promises of Ambassador Greet has evidently eliminated any such idea from the minds of Mr. Roosevelt, or that of any of hs cabinet, and as far as the United States is concerned as long as they do not destroy the prop erty of outside nations the armies of Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador can make mince meat of each other to their hearts content.
 Kansas City, March 29-Particulars of the work of cyclone which de- vastated part of Indian Territory are beginning to arrive here. It appears that the storm centered at Marietta, which town was almost wiped out. Buildings of all kinds were demolish- ed and many people killed. The news is coming out by courier as both telegraph and telephone wires are down. A tremendous down fall of rain and hail accompanied the storm obliterating roads and washing out bridges. It is not thought possible in this city that the actual damage wrought can be accurately estimated within two or three days.
 San Francisco, March 29-The west bound New Orleans-San Francisco flyer was wrecked last night, 26 passengers Icing killed and over a hundred injured. The cause of the accident was a misplaced switch, and the engine ran into train of cars loaded with cotton standing on side track. The force of the impact was so great that several of the passenger cars were almost entirely demolished and their passengers met almost in- stant death. The cotton train had run on to the side track to allow the passenger to pass and it's crew evi- dently failed to close the switch after them.

 A FUNNY PET.
 The Rampant News, by the way, the most interesting and we'll edited paper of its inches in all Alaska, tells of man named Louis Valdier, living on Baker creek, in that vii cinity, who has an unusual kind of pet to which he is very much attached and very proud of. It is lynx, one of the largest of it's kind, and as full of fun as any kitten. Around the cabin the pet never tires of cutting all sorts of amusing capers. It will not be ignored and when Louie or any chance visitor fails to join it in a romp it's sharp claws soon remind him that a froic is wanted. The pet is happiest when Louie takes down his gun to go hunting. On such occasions the lynx stalks quietly along behind till rabbit is shot, when it bounds out as quick as light ming and pounces upon the game. It will follow the hunter thus for hours. At night the pet is turned out of the cabin and hunts on its own account. It is always on hand in the morning, ready for breakfast and another romp. Louie is very proud of his pet, and allows it all the liberties common to a pet dog.
 A lie well stuck to may be as good as the truth, but the man who tells it never honestly thinks so.

 Muskogee, Okla, March 27-The Federal authorities last night raided anegro "club,' so called and stirred up hornets nest. The club had been in business for some time, and a great many protests against the actions of its members had been re- ceived by the authorities. Yesterday it was decided to raid the place, and last night a posse of U. S. deputies entered simultaneously front and rear. The negroes, though taken completely by surprise, put up stub born fight, and the deputies had to open fire on them. When the fight had died down it was found that three of the negroes were dead and several others wounded, some seriously. The officers were more fortunate, two or three of them receiving minor in- juries only.

 Capt. H. s. Back, whose name was enormously given as Block in yesterdays issue, has been spending some time at Yes Bay, and is in the country for the partial purpose of looking up material for one or more hunting and trapping stories for the Hunter and Trapper," magazine published at Columbus, Ohio, to the pages of which he is regular con- tributor. Incidentally, he is keeping his eye open for lands suitable for agricultural and horticultural purposes upon which to locate actual settlers, and gives it as his opinion, based on more or less extended research and examination in certain directions, that there is considerable land of that character in this district which could be made to yield rich returns to the practical farmer and gardener. He has lived seven years in the Yukon country, and will return there in May and spend the summer prospecting for placer gold.
