afternoon was~<not general riot and
there is no necessity for calling out
troops. The police are amply able to
handle the situation and 1 shall see
that they do it. The fight today be-
tween the strike breakers and the
striking carmen and their sympathiz-
ers was absolutely unexpected. On two
previous occasions when the street car
men went on strike there was no vio-
lence and none was anticipated today.
This time, however, the temper OF the
people seems to have been different and
the conditions were different.
IT suppose it was to have been ex-
pected that the first attempt to run
cars would cause some trouble, but no
one anticipated anything like what
happened today. / have ordered the
chief of police to swear in more Of
ficers If he finds 1t necessary. / have
also ordered him to arrest anybody
carrying arms. concealed or otherwise.
The men who go out on the cars will
not be permitted to carry weapons.
That is the best way to maintain
peace"
Mayor Schmitz tonight issued the
following proclamation:
"On account of the Industrial dis
turbances that exist in the city all of
those who have no business on the
streets are requested to remain at
home. All persons having business
necessitating their presence on the
streets are directed to keep moving
about their business and not to con-
gregate.
"Those who are now out on strike
are earnestly requested to maintain
the dignity of labor by discountenanc-
ing any acts of violence on the part of
the sympathizers. The peace must be
and will be preserved at any hazard.
"Al fair minded citizens are request
ed to aid in keeping the peace, which
means so much to our community. mo-
tice is hereby given that any acts OF
violence or any breaches of the peace
will be severely dealt with.
"E. e. SCHMITZ, Mayor"
Copies Of the proclamation were dis
tributed throughout the city by the po-
lice and it win be published in the

He issued orders that the crowd be

Rudolfo fed as far as Eddy street,
where he was overtaken by officer

STEERAGE PASSENGERS IN A

Captain Of British Steamer Maori King

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, May with 921 Chi
nese steerage passengers at war with
their way from Vladivostok and Shang-
hal to Mazatlan and Guaymas, the
British steamer Moari King put in here
today in distress and is now lying at
quarantine guarded by immigration
and customs officials while waiting a
settlement of the case.
Captain Duncan, who sighted the
pier at Coronado, thought he could
land there and got into shoal water
before he knew what he was doing.
The sea was calm, but the tide was
falling and the first report was that
he was aground. He narrowly missed
it, however, and finally got inside at
noon to report his condition at quar-
antine.
Trouble began soon after the steamer
left Shanghai and war ensued between
the Chinese and LIE Sun Lai, the i'm
migration contractor, and the steerage
passengers, who threatened to take the
ship and run it back to China.
The trouble was quieted finally, but
broke out again when boxer stabbed
a COOlle. Ills WAS HdIuiy StlliSu DC-
