Pr Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MURPHYSBORO, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-Word
was received here late this afternoon from
Fordyce, a village ten miles west of here,
that a gang of rioting Italians have con-
troll of the town. Sheriff Hanson and a
posse have gone from here
A messenger from Fordyce states that
Sheriff Hanson has suppressed the rioting
Italians, and has made eighteen arrests.
Many of the Italians, evading arrest,
were driven into the adjacent woods by
the posse.
The Italians were employed as laborers
by the Iron Mountain road. They de-
handed the dismissal of Foreman Robert
House and upon refusal of Roadmaster
Carey to accede to their demand, they
set upon House and Carey. Soon the
fighting became general and the village
was terrorized.
Mayor Grain and almost the entire
population of Fordyce armed themselves
with revolvers, shotguns and rifles, and
by threatening to shoot, stayed the mob

SAN FRANCISCO Aug. emil j.
thinner of the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph company, who refused to
testify in order to save Louis Glass from
San Quentin, objected very strenuously
when Judge Weller directed this morning
that he be taken to the city prison and
booked on the accusation filed against
him by District Attorney Langdon
Added to his objection was the vigorous
talk of his attorney, C. H. Fairall.' But
objection proved futile.
Judge Weller declared that the law must
be complied with and that he could see
no reason why the prisoner should be
treated differently from any other. Under
his direction Policeman Morgan took the
accused telephones magnate to the city
prison and there his name was formally
entered on the prison register. He was
then returned to the court room, where
his arraignment was proceeded with.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 6-Four per-
sons were killed and twenty-five injured
in a wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad
at Kelly. about thirty-ave miles from this
city, today. The wrecked train was the
Titusville express.
While passing through Kelly the train
was side-swiped by gondola coal car,
and the engine, tender, baggage and ex-
press cars with three day coaches, were
derailed. The victims all lived In Penn
sylvania.
The dead:
MRS. ALONZO HUFF and male infant
of Johnstown. Pa.
M. B. IRWIN of Oakmont, Pa, en-
gineer of the passenger train.
GEORGE COCHRAN of Rimesburg, Pa.
Among the injured are:
Three daughters of Mrs. Hough, Johns
town.
John Gisser, Emlenton, Pa.
Samuel Bing, Pttsburg.
Robert Misselton, Emlenton, Pa.
The train on leaving the terminal was
behind time and it is said 1t was running
at a very high rate of speed to make up
time. The accident occurred at a sharp
curve, which prevented the engineer from
seeing any considerable distance ahead
of him.
In some manner a car that had formed
part of a northbound freight had broken
away from this train, landed some dis
lance from the northbound track and
projected over the southbound track.
The express as it rounded the curve
struck this car. The engine was derailed
and three cars were wrecked.
The train was we'll filed, as it carried a
delegation from the First Methodist Epls-
copal church of Kitanning on a visit of
inspection to neighboring church. An
other delegation was comprised of the
Armstrong county committee.

OPERATIVES COMING BACK HELP FAMINE AT AN END Canadians Return from Ontario and Quebec Earlier
 Than Usuol.

Grosvenordale, Conn, Aug. 30. - Cotton mill operatives are swarming back to northern Connecticut from across the Canadian line, and the fear of 8 scarcity of help to run the mills this fall is at an end. The return of French Canadians from the farms in the provinces of Quepec and Ontario has set in unusually early and as yet it has not been determined whether farming was not remunerative this summer or whether the high wage scale now being paid is the lodestone. The hegira northward set in quite early in the spring and before May was well along, Mill men hereabouts were complaining of the scarcity of help, and with orders being booked to the capacity of the mills for many months there was much worriment over the immediate future. In Baltic, Plainfield and several other places nearer the southeastern section of the state the influx of help has been larg- CT than could be taken care of and now the Attawaugan, Wilson's, Me- chanicsville, Putnam, Pineville, Will Evansville, Quinnebaug and Danielson mills the number of applicants is rap idly filling the available places.
