Riot for Two Days

For two days there has been rioting
at Keasbey and number of manufac-
turing towns along the Raritan river.
fwo weeks ago the men employed by
he Raritan River clay company went
On strike for higher wages. They
marched to the plant of the Perth Am
boy flrebrick company and induced the
men there to go out. On each succeed
ing day the men increased in numbers
and marched to towns to induce en-
ployes to leave their work. The strik-
ers, nearly all of whom are foreigners,
say that they were given TO understand
before election that if Taft We're elected
their pay would be restored to $1.50 a
day. 1t now is S1.30. The officials of
the factories deny that such promise
was made. Yesterday several hundred
strikers appeared on the streets -four
ishing revolvers, and when the deputy
sheriffs endeavored to disperse the
gathering they were met with a fusil-
lade of stones. They continued to ad-
vance, however, and the strikers re-
treated.
Americans on Duty
A number of American workmen have
remained on duty at the fireproofng
plant and were attacked by the foreign
ers as they were leaving the factory
last night and today. Deputy sheriffs
were put on guard. Early today a mob
of strikers gathered around the factory.
The foreigners were armed with heavy
iron pipes, pitchforks, clubs, stones and
some of them showed revolyers, the
police say. Chief of Police Burke was
in charge of the deputies stationed in
the office of the company.
Nothing of consequence happened un-
til Burke sent a man to bring lunch to
the deputies. When the messenger ap-
peared at the door he was met by a
shower of stones, which compelled him
to retreat. The man succeeded later in
leaving the factory unobserved and Sc
cured the food. AS he was returning
one of the strikers caught sight of him
and Immediately there was a general
attack, but by good fortune he re-
gained the factory without being in
jured.

his children. Furthermore, M. Bonnet
went on, De Sagan last summer in the
name of his chauffeur, rented an
$500 900 villa at st. Cloud and received
his future wife there secretly, and at
her country seat, the Chateau Marais,
the prince occupied a room on the
same corridor.
FAMILY SNUBS DE SAGAN
While in New York the members of
the Gould family declined to receive
De Sagan. hence the clandestine de-
parture of the prince and the countess
from New York on different steamers.
At Rome they tried TO secure the an
nulment of the marriage of the count
and countess by the pope and failing
In this De Sagan became a Protestant
in order to make their marriage pos
sible.
NJ. Bonnet dweIt at length upon what
he termed the demoralizing influence
of De Sagan upon the princess, saying
he had dragged her into the bohemian
life which he loved TO the complete
neglect Of her children.
The lawyer then declared that the
conduct of the couple at the Hotel des
Reservoirs at Versailles was so scan
dalous that the other guests refused
TO allow their children to play with
the Castellane children.
After he left Versailles for England
under the name of Thompson one of
this child removed by force. The
countess thereupon notified the physi-
clan that she would not be responsible
for his bill. No relative of either the
prince or Nine. Gould was present at
their marriage in London on July z,
but De Sagan sent a telegram to Ber-
lin requesting that Emperor William
an oF Io
CHILDREN HAVE COMPLAINED
Since the marriage the children had
complained to their grandmother, the
marquise de Castellane, that the con-
duct of the prince was distastefuI to
them, giving examples and incidents.
Going back to the record of the
prince before his marriage NJ. Bonnet
reviewed his escapades.
OF recent years De Sagan's life has
been a veritable vaudeville perform
ance. NJ Bonnet said. He explained
that De Castellane had been informed
Of the princes conduct through a
chauffeur with whom the, prince had
had a misunderstanding He declared
that the prince had called upon his
former mistresses since his marriage.
Special mention was made of one
Jeanne Labouche. Since his marriage
he had lunched and dined with Mile.
Labouche. gone on trips with her and
had deposited $500 to her credit. For
this money the prince took a receipt,
which he hid in his stocking. He sub
sequently turned this paper over to
his chauffeur, who in turn gave it to
De Castellane. In the same manner
De CastelIane got possession of re-
ceipt for $50. which he gave to an
other woman on July 10.
The lawyer then said that when the
princess chided her husband for these
actions he confessed the fault and said
that if she would give him an allow
ance he would enter monastery for
the rest of his life. This remark was
greeted with laughter from the crowd
ed courtroom.
There was a lively tilt between the
attorneys following the introduction of
the names of De Sagans mistresses.
NJ Clemenceau, who represents the
princess, gave warning that he would
retaliate in kind when he discussed
the career of De Castellane.

Vibration on Steamships.

Some surprise and disappointment have been expressed by passengers on turbine propelled ships that vibration, although it has been greatly reduced, has not been entirely eliminated from these vessels. In considering this sub- ject it may be as well to state at once that no matter what kind of engine be used vibration never will be eliminat- ed from steamships driven by screw propellers. The hull of steamship Is a highly elastic structure and there fore peculiarly sensitive to any forces tending to set up vibration. These forces may be broadly divided into three kinds-the impact of the waves, the unbalanced moving weights of the engines and certain inequalities in the thrust of the propellers. - Scientific American.

bond for his appearance in court this morning.
 Charles Hanley, the young man who was accused of taking shoes from the factory of the G. I. R. Glove company, admitted his guilt in the borough court yesterday and was sentenced to sixty days in jail with costs. The method which he employed was very simple, but still effective. Hanley was in the habit of going to the factory every night and spending portion of it with the watchman and of course in this way threw all suspicion from him, but it was while the night watchman was making his rounds through the factory that Hanley would go into the department where the shoes were Kept and drop them out from a door which was in the rear of the factory. He would then leave for home and go out and pick up the shoes and dispose of them at a price much lower than what would be asked for them at the factory He was taken to jail yesterday.

The Blue Eye and the Mosquitoes.

The "blue eye," so called on account of the brilliant blue of it's iris. is a small fish one and half to two inches long, living in shallow Australian wa ters, but the creature has been made very big in importance by the discov- cry of Count Blrger Moerner, Swedish consul. that it subsists on mosquito larvae. After some difficulty enough of the fishes have been captured and sent to Naples to test their possible influ- ence in altering the condition of the malarious swamps and marshes of Italy. To science the fish is known as Psendomugil signifier. and it belongs to the family of athorinides, repre- scented in different parts of the world by fourteen principal kinds and sixty five subvarieties, which will be eagerly investigated if the Italian experiments succeed.-Argonaut.

 Bridgeport-Claiming that the local charities department does not treat the members of their race with due consideration when aid Is asked, many prominent Italians have formed an organization for the protection of their people, the movement being headed by Deputy Sheriff Louis D. Richard.
 Old Saybrook-Many residents of this town are in favor of changing it's name to Say Brooke, the name by which it was known in the earlier colonial days. The plan was first sug- gested by members of the Old Say brook Town Improvement association which has appointed a committee on the subject. If the sentiment of the town is found to be in favor of the change petition to that effect will probably be presented to the next general assembly.
 New Haven-Horace Pike, post master at Marlborough Mills, charg- ed with embezzlement, was arrested with his wife as they were passing through Union Station at 1:12 yes terday afternoon by Officer George Spencer of the city police upon re- quest of the United States authorities. United States Deputy Marshal w. l.. Parmelee took the prisoner back to Hartford late in the afternoon, where he will await an investigation into the conduct of his postofice which is now in progress. Policeman Spencer made a clever capture as he picked MT and Mrs Pike out of large crowd on the station platform and identified the postmaster by a description tele- phoned him by Chief of Police Henry Gloves. It is charged that Dr Pike. as he is known in Marlborough drew $425 on postal orders to his personal account.

On Early Railroads.

The old fashioned practice mention ed in the Druce case, that the fifth Duke of Portland had his carriage strapped to a railway truck whenever he took to the railroad and that he sat in the carriage in preference to an ordinary compartment, sounds strange tO the modern ear. It was a common practice with moneyed people of con servative habits in the early days of the railway. and the companies made adequate provision accordingly. \ supply of trucks was kept at all the principal stations on the line. and no charge vas made for embarking or landing the carriages or horses.-Dun- dee Advertiser.

STOP DRINKING.
Orrine Destroys Desire for Drink
"HoW to Swear Off"

1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once a year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse that
followed his debauches, and then
Break it.
But now it is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. When a man takes a
pledge voluntarily, he expects to keep
word, and every broken pledge costs
the drunkard many a heartache. But
he cannot help it. He fights as long
as he can, then succumbs to the crav.
ling. The nervous system of the habit
ual drinker is diseased and he must
have treatment that will cure this con.
dition

BoiIinser Tries Cases.-The most
important feature of yesterdays trial
of Thomas Calvin, charged with con-
tempt of court in connection with
seven other saloonkeepers, was the
testimony of William Schoenig and
Hal Norton, the two Muscatine resi-
dents hired by the Civic Federation
to gather evidence against the Daven-
port saloonkeepers. Upon calling
court to order, Judge Barker an
nounced that inasmuch as no motion
for change of venue had been filed
with Judge Bollinger and after talk
ing with the attorneys, he had decided
to turn the trial of the case back to
Judge Bollinger. He stated he was
satisfied the attorneys would protest
against any Judge in the hopes of get
ting one who would grant them jury
trial. He also stated it was the Gus
tom for all liquor cases to be tried by
the home judge in the county in which
they were brought. He thereupon re-
tired and Judge Bollinger took his
seat. The session lasted all day and
the trial had not been concluded when
court adjourned. 1t is said that pleas
of guilty will be entered.
