RIOT AND BLOODSHED
Causes State Police to Be Ordered to
Scene At Chester, Va.

Chester. Pa, April 16.-Riot and
blootished marked the third day OF the
street car strike here today, when the
Chester Traction Co. attempted to OPP
erat it's cars with imported strike
breakers. The strikers and their SYM
pathizers stormed the trolley car that
was started out ofthe barns, and in
the melee two men were shot. William
Griesemer. a claim agent of the COM
pany, was struck in the arm by bull
lei and William Bergman, the motor
man who had charge of the car, was
struck in the foot by another bullet.
He was dragged from the car and
beaten and was rescued from the an
gry strikers and their sympathizers
with difficulty. Griesemer besides being
wounded, received a dislocation of the
shoulder. Several other traction en-
ployes were also cut and bruised.
A mob of fully 1000 men stood guard
near the trolley barns at daybreak
awaiting a move on the part of the
traction officials and when the first
car was run out on the tracks, follow
ed by the appearance of about 40 strike
breakers in charge of GrieSemer, the
crowd became furious. The car was at
tackled and the strike breakers set up
Oh. The local police were unable to
cope with the situation and after many
conferences between the traction and
city officials, it was decided to ask
Gov. Stuart to send the state constab-
ulary to take charge of the situation.
Tire request for the state police was
sent to the governor by Mr.. Johnson
and Troop A, from Greensburg, in
command of Capt Pitcher and Lieut..
Van Worries. and Troop c of Reading,
were ordered to the scene of the dis
orders. Capt John c. Broome of Phil
adelpnia. superintendent of the con-
stabulary, took personal command of
the troops. The local police, even
though augmented by so men specially
sworn in have been unable to give the
Trolley Co. any protection.

HUGHES CAMPAIGN
Opened In Louisville, KY. With Al
dress BY Gen. Woodford.

Louisville, Ky, April 16.-The for
NAL opening Of the Hughes campaign,
which has been quietly gathering way
in Kentucky for some time, came l"-
night when Cen Stewart L. WOodford
delivered an address at Liederkranz
hall in his interest. The audience was
an enthusiastic one. General Wood
ford's points in favor of Gov Hughes
apparently found favor.
COY. Hughes" declared the speaker,
lis the only candidate whose election
can be predicted with certainty and
whose success at the polls would be
conceded as a blessing by the public
which demands both the correction of
abuses and the continuance of our
present prosperity.
THE Republicans have number of
candidates and there is not one who
would fall below the average standard
we demand of our Presidents: but it
is doubtful If any-and Taft most OF
all-except Gov. Hughes. can carry
the state of New York. Bryan is
stronger in New York than either his
friends or his enemies are aware of.
In concluding General WOodford
said:
Hughes is the universal second
choice and when the time comes for
the final test of strength. the under
current will show the politicians VINO
is the man the people really want.
Gov. Wilson was called on for a
speech. but he contented himself with
the significant statement that ne
thought Kentucky should emulate the
Missourians In naming her delegates
to the national convention and insist
on being shown

THREE MORE BODIES.
Nine Are Now Known to Have Perish. :
ed In Flames At Chelsea.

Boston, April 16.-Three more bodies
were recovered late today from the
ruins of the fire which Sunday devas-
tated nearly half the city of Chelsea.
making the total number of bodies
now recovered nine. In addition two
persons have died in hospitals of
causes incident to the fire.
The bodies recovered today were
those of Mrs. Minnie l. Fenwick, wife
of DR.. ]. B. Fenwick. one of the lead
ing physicians for many years in Chel-
sea; Mrs Walter Barnes, a niece of
Mrs. Fenwick. of Newark, n. j., and
Miss Vinie Boyer of Chelsea. Mrs.
Fenwick's maid. The Fenwick family
lived on Chestnut street, next the st.
Stanislaus Polish Catholic church,
which was burned. The family was
prominent in local affairs for many
years. Mrs. Fenwick being for some
years member of the Chelsea school
board. AS Or. Fenwick could learn
nothing of his wife's whereabouts af-
ter the fire. or of her niece who was
visiting them, and maid. it was felt to
be almost certain that the three had
persisted in the fire.
Ever since Monday the ruins in the
vicinity of the home have been worked
over but with no result until late to-
day. That the three had evidently
made desperate attempt to escape
the fire was shown today by the dis
covery of their bodies somewhat re-
moved from the house at the back,
where they had evidently fled in an en-
deavor to escape the confiagration. The
OR cnfirp-
w consumed and covered deep with
bricks. But gold watch of Mrs. Fen
wick's. with the rims of pair of
Geld spcctacles and other ron-inf1an-
mahlo articles carried by the three
women. proved sufficient to establish
their identity beyond question.
