which recently called upon the presi

to set forth in general his attitude to-

" why he had referred to Meyer and
Haywood as undesirable citizens"
sag President Is Championed.
In making his report the chairman,
John Henry, said that the committee
had spent more than an hour with the
president, at which time tile matter in
hand was thoroughly discussed. The
president signified his intention of
formally replying in the letter which
the chairman then read. Following the
reading there was an animated dis
cusson duringwhich the chairman and
William Coakley, another member Of

attitude of the chief executive. 1t was
finally voted to send copy of the let

which he says of the Meyer Haywood
case: Our duty is IF it should ever
happen that we had any power in the

done these men. The sole
question as regards Meyer and Hay
wood must be the question whether
or not they can be shown to be guilty
of this particular act, and their legal
rights must be as carefully safeguard
ed as those of any other men. 1t is
alleged that they We're extradited from
Colorado in manner that amounted
to betrayal of their legal rights" He
asks information from the district at
torneys Of Colorado and Idaho on the
point, and whether there is any disp,-
sition to deny the men their legal
rights.

Labor Mobs Broken Up by Cavalry
Charges-Socialtsts Parade at
New York-Notes of the
Days Doings.

Paris, May 2.-The expectation that
May day would pass off without
violence was not realized. The day
began in calm, but toward evening the
working center in the vicinity Of the
trades unions headquarters became
the scene of serious disturbances, in
which many persons were more or less
injured. The stringent precautions
taken by the authorities, and the stern
determination to repress disorders,
however, brought tranquility before
midnight. The sum total Of the days
operations was over one thousand ar
rests; twenty persons, including police
men and citizens, badly injured, and
a great number of persons suffering
from Commissions or from being tram
pied.
Characteristic of His Kind.
One Of the gravest incidents record
ed was during the afternoon, when
Jacob Law, Russian who is natural
lied citizen of the United States,
from the top of an omnibus passing
the Place de La Republique cold
bloodedly fired five shots by which
two cuirassiers were wounded. The
crowd attempted. to lynch Law, who
was dragged down from the omnibus.
He was rescued by the police after he
had been severely mauled, and was
taken to police station to await trial.
During the evening reports We're cir
culated that Law had died as q re-
suit of the beating the mob gave him,
but these were erroneous. He suffered
no vital injury.
Woman Wounds a Patrolman,
Several other incidents occurred,
during which fire arms were used.
After a meeting at the Labor Ex-
change five thousand men proceeded
to the headquarters of the Labor Fed
Grafton, hooting the police meanwhile.
Charges We're made by the police, and
woman fired, the bullet striking a
member of the bycicle patrol. The
squad of police drew their sabers and
revolvers and lively melee followed,
lasting half anhour. Thepolicepressed
the crowd from the Quai Jemmapes
to the banks of ST.. Martins canal,
during which 200 arrests We're made
and many persons were hurt.
Charge on a Disorderly Crowd.
Later in the evening in the Place de
La Republicique the police, while ar
resting rioters, We're surrounded by a
threatening crowd which attempted to
rescue those taken into custody. Sabres
were used freely, but finding their
position perilous, the police fred in
the air. A further detachment came
on the scene at double quick, and with
drawn sabres charged and dispersed
the crowd. Many persons were in
jured and many placed under arrest.
