MUNcIE'S STRIKE Is BROKEN.
Cars Run on All Lines, Almost With
out MoIestation.

Muncie, Ind, Jan. 6.-The backbone
of Muncie's mob element is broken.
Cars were run Sunday from early
morning until dusk over all lines and,
with the exception of little scatter
ing stone throwing on the outskirts,
the cars were unmolested, notwith-
standing they were manned by i'm
ported strikebreakers and unguarded
as far as deputy sheriffs or troops
were concerned.
Muncie, Ind, Jan. AT a confer
ence Friday night between Adjt Gen.
Perry, Mayor Guthrie, the sheriff, city
officials and several prominent citi-
zens, it was decided to ask Gov. Hanly
to send state troops here at once.
When the days work was ended
many of the policemen who had been
on constant duty for 48 hours lay
down on the station floor and fell
asleep. The majority of the special
men who had been sworn in refused to
serve longer.
AS a result Gen. Perry telephoned
Gov. Hanly details of the situation and
he promptly ordered out battery A and
four companies of Indianapolis in
fantry and eight companies from other
cities in the state. The understanding
was that martial law is not to be pro-
claimed until necessary, the duty of
the troops being to work in conjunc-
ton with the police in maintaining or.
der. The troops will be brought by
special cars.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and I hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
81 told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
"It was a struggle because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it,
and then it was easy to leave off
coffee.
"His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at
last he was new man altogether, as
a result of leaving off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then I began to
drink it, too.
Although I was never as bad off
as my husband, I was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
I began to use Postum. Now I weigh
lis lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, I think.
Many do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make it right. I have successfully
fooled a great many persons who have
drunk it at my table. They would
remark, You must buy high grade
of coffee One young man who clerked
in grocery store was very enthusiast
tic about my coffee When l told
him what it was, he said, why I've sold
Postum for four years but | had no
idea it was like this. Think I'll drink
Postum hereafter.

only $500, and one sailor" can run 1t,

bile, may easily eat up modest for

takes command as the author suggests
the charm of vacations spent in cap

houses" moored anywhere from q
thousand to 10000 feet above the sur
face, in that pure and rarefied at
mosphere which invalids go far to
find. Provisions would be sent up and
letters sent down in a traveling-bas-
ket; there could be telephone connec-

scenes and disagreeable oooss would
all be cut off by distance. To be sure,
the wind and the kite house might
take a notion to fall simultaneously.
Then a woman who had assembled to
escape the tension of business or So
ciety or family affairs would have
fine chance to learn whether the ex-
pertinent had strengthened her nerves.
But, says the Youths Companion,
granting that all went well above, and
granting that our women would con-

ably be hampered from below. Unless

walls her husband or sweetheart would
get her back, even If he had to take

East Side in a Ferment.

There were several other outbreaks
which were checked by the police, and
all during the day the teeming East
side swarmed into the streets and
held impromptu meetings. There were
many alterations between landlords
and tenants, and the reserves of four
precincts were kept In readiness to
respond to hurry calls.
Several mass meetings were held
Sunday night by the strikers. 1t was
announced at the headquarters OF the
strikers that the organizing of the ten
ants in Hoboken and Jersey City was
going on rapidly, and that by the first
of February over $4,000 tenants in
these cities would be ready to enforce
their demands for lower rates.

Daughters of the East Side Ten
emenes Take Active Part in the
Fighting.

New York, Jan. 6.-lnclp1ent riots
broke out on the East side Sunday as
a result of the tension between the
landlords and the striking tenants,
and before the disorders were quelled
by the police reserves, which were
called from several precincts, many
combatants were injured and five
were arrested.
The police used their clubs freely,
but there was no way to obtain the
number of injured, as they were hur-
ried away and cared for by friends.
The disorders were general through
out the affected district.
The most serious trouble occurred
on East Eleventh street, where land
lord, who had been unable to collect
rent, ordered his tenants to remove
the American and socialistic flags
with which the strikers had decorated
the tenement The landlord was
hooted and jeered by the tenants and
other strikers, who were holding a
mass meeting in the house, and he
called the police. The striking ten.
ants resented the appearance of the
officers and in the clash that followed
the reserves used their night sticks
vigorously. Five protesting tenants,
somewhat battered, were arrested.
The offending decorations were re-
moved.
Women Fight Beside the Men.
Hardly had order been restored at
this point when the police reserves
were hurried to East Twelfth street,
where striking tenants were making
demonstration against landlord who
had objected to the flying of red flags
over his property. The crowd failed
to obey the police order to dispense
and was set upon with night sticks.
One woman, it is reported, was rem
dered insensible during the fight, in
which wives and daughters as well
as fathers and sons, participated.
The police tried to gain entrance
into the tenement, but the strikers
barricaded the door and, semblance
of order having been restored, the Of
ficers withdrew. Ambulances were
summoned to care for the injured, but
the strikers declined to admit the ply
sicians, stating that they would call
their own doctors

tnat publicity of campaign contribu-

not represent what the reform ele-

Democratic party in the Denver con
vention has given US platform that
