RIOT IN EVANSVILLE
ONE DEAD AND SIX INJURED
AFTER DAY OF VIOLENCE.
Street Car Trafac Completely sus.
pended-More Than 200 Extra
Policemen Sworn In.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
EVANSVILLE. Ind, May 1Ss-After day
of rioting. violence and accident, the second
day Of the street car strike ended with
one dead, six injured and traffic complete
ly suspended. Today excited groups dis
cussed the casualties and the population
wondered where 1t would all end.
By order of Mayor Doehnen the cars to-
day were guarded by police. and great
effort was made to restore normal condi-
tons. Whether the sight of the bluecoats,
armed and ready for a conflict, would still
further excite the mob spirit or whether
it would awe the strikers and their SYM
pathizers into silence remained to be seen.
More than 200 extra policemen were
sworn in last night and went on duty
this morning. The gangs of imported
strike breakers who declare that they were
brought here without knowing what the
conditions were, are deserving their posts
and leaving the city.
The worst accident of yesterday came
at O'Clock, when Walnut street car,
manned by crew of strikebreakers, struck
the curve at 8th and Walnut streets at full
speed and crashed into two-story office
building, killing James Gates and injuring
four others, including an eighteen months
old baby on the sidewalk.

Goss Printing Press Company. At the
Allis- Chalmers shops $50 machinists quit,
because they had been refused an increase
of % cents a day. Fifty electricians were

Commissioners of the District Of Columbia
to ascertain their views as to the ,sira-
bility of erecting the proposed memorial on
the plaza at the entrance Of the new Union
