which came up before the Ways

In Germany potatoes are the
big crop. Twice as many are
raised there as in the United
States. The German farmers raise
one kind of potatoes for their own
food, another kind Tor starch and
alcohol and a great many for feed

are as different from the ordinary
edible potatoes as mangels from
table beets. BY having raised
special varieties of potatoes for
Years their starch content has be-
come high. Sucn potatoes are dis

TROOPS
On GUARD To
CHECK RIOTERS
Repetition of Disorder in Which
Women Were Shot Is Feared
at DunmOre.
STRIKE CAUSED BY
BOYS DISMISSAL.
Mother with Baby in Arms One
of the Two Struck by
Bullets.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 3.-Fearing a
repetition of the riots of yesterday, In
which two women were fatally shot,
would be followed today by an attack
on workmen taking the places of 500
men and boys at the mountain shaft OF
the Pennsylvania Coal Company at
Dunmore, extra details of the State
constabulary are on duty there.
In an effort to prevent a pitched bat
tie between the mob Of disgruntled
miners and the men who had taken
their places. a troop hurried from their
barracks to the scene of the trouble.
They were unable to restore order by a
/ show of arms, and 1t was necessary to
fire several volleys into the attacking
party before the crowd could be dis
persed.
Bullets from the carbines hit Mrs.
Lena Kalwrecks, who was wounded In
the legs and the abdomen, and Mrs.
Annie Condeach, who was shot three
times in the arm, shoulder and neck.
Mrs. Condeach carried a baby in her
arms, but the child escaped being hit.
The women were taken into a physi-
clans office nearby. The women are
alive. though unconscious, and the doc
tors say h wounds will prove fatal.
In order to prevent another battle
when the miners had quit work, the
mine officials communicated with the
State constabulary and asked for pro-
lection. Several of the troopers were
sent to the scene.
About 5 o'clock, when the men had
finished their labors and were escorted
from the colllery by the c%onstabulary
on Gibbons street, a GROVE of strikers
made for the workers. The police
pulled their guns, but the mob paid no
attention to this. The strikers, aug
mented by a score of women and many
children, continued to throw stones,
call derisive names and gather in the
path of the workers SO that they could
not proceed to their homes. Having
disregarded several commands by the
~constabulary, the crowd grew bold.
Then the c~onstables fired a volley
from their carbines directly into the
crowd. but only the two women were
hit. The crowd then fed.
The strike at the mountain shaft is
due to the discharge of a breaker boy
for infringement of rules, the company
officials said.
