STREET CARS MANNED BY
NON-UNI0N MEN M0BBED
Five Persons Hurt in Riot in Muncie,
Indiana, Where Employees
of Railway Company
Are on Strike

Ply Associated Press.
MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 1.-Five persons
were injured and two street cars were
riddled with stones here late this after
noon in a riot that followed an attempt
of the Indiana Traction company to run
cars manned by strike breakers. The
strike followed the refusal of the COM
pany to resign the wage agreement that
had been in effect for five years.
Realizing that the local police were
unable to cope with the situation, Mayor
Guthrie this evening appealed to Cover
nor Hanly to send troops to Muncie but
the governor replied that he would send
Col. Harry B. Smith to look over the
situation.
Repeated efforts by the sheriff to swear
in deputies were fruitless, as not a man
would act. Shortly after o'clock two
cars were started through the business
section, but a mob had gathered and a
shower of stones filled the air. Every
window in the cars was shattered and
Jesse Williams, a non-union man, was
badly cut. The men manning the cars
retreated and were removed to the police
station.

Letters of Warning Found Give De-
tectives clew to Murderers of
John Benteregus-His Life
Frequently Threatened

Information was received by detec-
tives yesterday which makes them pos
tive that John Benteregua, the oarper,
who was murdered by an undermined
assassin at 2205 East Ninth street
Tuesday night, was victim OF the
"Black Hand"
Benteregua was an intimate 1rlehu
of Antonio La Piano. who was muir
dered by Filipi Giardina. 1t is alleged
the night of January 90 1907. He is
supposed to have given Information
which nearly led to Giardinas arrest
by the police.
Many letters have been received by
Benteregua in which his life was
threatened unless he ceased all commu-
nications with the police, and among
them was the following, which was dis
covered and translated yesterday;
''PaI., Spy: Don't count me any-Pal'
scoundrel that l am. l promise you
that IL In New York 1 will mark or cut
INV face. and If they don't kill me that
1 win have had my skin taken to pro-
tect you in recompense of a glass OF
vinagre you give me"
This inscription was lettered on
rude cartoon as coming from the NOUN
of a clown, and opposite to the PIC
ture of the clown was that of police
man, who was saying; pal scoundrel'
here is a litre.'
On the back of this cartoon was n
letter addressed to the dead man, as
follows:
Dear Friend Benteregua: We want
to know if you have put onto us the
chief or sergeant of police. We know
that you was the clown or stool pigeon,
but you ought not to play the part of
a police If you follow or insist on your
tricks or ways, look out that we VIII
make you make your FORTUNE. Rec
ommend yourself to the FORTUNE,
a.Ad don't imagine that we will have
words. THAT after the words comes
the ACTS Think you like you will.
Make Do
Italians who have been requested to
translate the letters have refused In
some cases to do so, claiming their
lives would be a forfeit if they in any
way mixed up in the case. Others have
claimed 1t was impossible for them to
read the inscriptions, as they were
written in a dialect unfamiliar to the
majority of the Italians in this country.

TUBERCULOSIS EX-
HIBITION CLOSED.
At Louisville and Will Open At
Frankfort in Few Days.
Later at Lexington.

"The American Tuberculosis Ex-
hibition which has just closed in Louis
vile, will be opened in Frankfort on
Monday, February 3rd where 1t is
hoped to impress upon the legislators
and others gathered there from all over
the State the needs and possibilities
of prosecuting the Anti-Tuberculosis
movement in every county of the
State.
The two weeks stay of this Exhibit
ton in Louisville was marked by the
greatest interest among Louisville peo-
pie and every business and social or
ganization in the city co-operated to
make it a complete success. For two
weeks there was daily attendance of
three thousand people, and some of
the results have already begun to make
themselves shown.
The makeup OF the tuberculosis Elk
hibition is very interesting, in that it
consists of photographs and many
models of buildings for the open air
treatment of consumption and illustra-
ted lectures are delivered in connec-
ton with it every hour during the
day.
1t is being sent to Frankfort by the
Kentucky Anti-Tuborculosis Associa-
ton and the Lexington Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association which will share the
expenses incurred during it's week stay
in the Capitol. There have already
been presented before this session, of
the legislature a number of bills pro-
viding for steps to be taken against
tuberculosis, and this ie no doubt, a
very opportune time for inaugurating
an educational campaign in the pres
enee of the legislators.
Leaving Frankfort the Exhibition
will go to Lexington after which the
Kentucky Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton expects to have so thoroughly or
ganized the Anti-Tuberculosis fight
all over the State that the very high
death rate which now obtains in Ken
lucky from this disease will be very
greatly reduced.
