Threw eggs, THEN STONES
Strikers at Chester, Pa, Made It In
teresting for the Nom
Union Carmen.

Chester, Pa, April 19.-Little disorder
developed here today in connection with
the street car strike situation. Cars
were operated at intervals on nearly all
the lines of the traction company, but
there were few passengers. Each car
was guarded by the state police, and
there was but one vigorous attack on
the part of the strike sympathizers.
Shortly after the cars were started a
crowd on Second street began throwing
eggs at the men in charge of one Of
them, and when the supply of eggs gave
out the throwers began using sticks
and stones. The mounted officers rout-
ed the disturbers and arrested several
men. Throughout the rest of the day
the strikers and their sympathiZers
were satisfied to stand along the streets
and boot at the police and the men
operating the cars when they came
along
Superintendent Jack of the Chester
Traction company said tonight that the
cars on all lines would be started on
regular schedule on Tuesday.

TROUBLE WITH FRANCE.
Sublime Porte Involved in a Series
of Perplexing Squabbles.

Constantinople, April 19.-The at
tempt of the Turkish government to
regain control of coal mines at Fregli,
a town of Asia Minor, 12S miles from
Constantinople. in which a French COM
pany is interested TO the extent of SIS
O00, 600, has led 10 a serious diplomatic
difficulty. The French government
supports the concessionaires, who de-
cline to entertain the question of re-
sale of the property until the Porte fur
nishes proof of its ability to bring forth
the purchase money, which, considering
the impoverishment of the Turkish
treasury, is manifestly impossible. In
the meantime France has closed her
market to any Turkish loan, and the
French embassy has notified the Porte
that France will exact an indemnity of
$500 for every day that settlement is
delayed, in addition to a compensation
of S2,S00,000 for losses to the company
incurred by disturbances.
The incident has been the subject of
more than ordinary attention because
of the attitude of Italy toward Turkey,
as shown by the threatened demon
stration by Italian warships in Turkish
waters.

GREAT INTEREST AROUSED
License Ordinance to Come Up in
Amended Form Before Ogden
City Council Tonight.

A new interest has been aroused by
the fact that the license ordinance will
likely be called up at tOnight's session
of the city council, although the matter
has been hanging fire for some time.
At its meeting Saturday morning the
Ministerial association discussed the or
dinance at some length and there will
be a delegation from that organization
i'm attendance at the council meeting, in
addition to a number of other citizens
interested in the subject on one side or
the other.
Some changes have been made in the
measure Since it was before the council
last most important among which is the
regular saloon license fee. Originally il
was decided to make this 1900 year,
but 1t has now been changed to 1000.
Another point that seems to have fig
ured quite prominently in the controversy
is contained in a section which provides
that the holder will not allow gam
bling in any form within the premises
wherein the business is conducted"
Still another section provides that sit
shall be unlawful for any restaurant. no
tel or boarding house keeper to sell or
give away or in any manner dispose of
any kind of INTOXICATING liquor by the
drink"
Other provisions of the ordinance pro-
hibit the presence of minors, Indians and
women in saloons. and call for the clos
ing of the saloons at ! o'clock in the
morning and keeping them closed all day
Sunday.

REPUBLICANS ASPIRING.
Sanpete Stalwarts Think They Are
Entitled to Representation on
State Ticket.

Ephraim, April lS.-Poltics in this part
of the county has been kept very much
on the quiet until the present time, when
candidates for both state and county Of
flces are making known their wishes.
There are a number of the Republicans
of Sanpete county who think they are
entitled to have their names appear on
the state ticket. Only one, however, will
be selected, but the friends of each will
work hard to have their man chosen as
the one
The friends of 4. s. Larsen of Ephraim
are working hard to have his name placed
on the ticket for superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and ;. r. Anderson of
Manti would like to be the state treas
urer. Herbert Smyth of Fountain Green.
the present county assessor, has his eye
on the state authorship.
The friends of Sven o. Nielsen think
that Sanpete is entitled to the governor
ship, and that he (MT. Nielsen) is the
man for that place.
The present county officers are nearly
all candidates for reelection. They viii,
however. meet with opposition, as pa
triOts from the various cities will de-
mand recognition.
George B. Cox of Manti is the only
aspirant Yet named. But IL Is sure
thing that she will ask for all that she
is entitled to.
Thomas Peterson will ask for a re-
nomination for county recorder, and G.
r. Dorius will likely be a candidate for
representative again.
Sp!lNS CltY VIII De satisfied Will Tue
treasurership, and MorOni thinks she
ought to have the clerk
Mount Pleasant will stand for the re-
nomination of Sheriff Knudsen. and Fair
view may ask for the cOmmissiOnership.
Mayfield may also ask for some recoS-
milton. c. NJ. Madsen of GunnisOn will
probably contest the nomination for COM
missioner with j. c. Miller of Fayette-
Joseph ChristiansOn of GunnisOn will
contest Superintendent Miners right to
that office also,
The Democrats have kept very quiet
so far, but when they do come forth
their ticket will undoubtedly be a good
one.
The temperance meeting held in the As
sembly hall of the academy last night
was a pronounced success. Rev. r. b.
Mark of Mount Pleasant and Professor
George Christensen of the academy each
made splendid talks for the abolition of
the liquor traffic. 1t is the intention
to ask all the other towns in the county
to unite in the organization and then CO.
operate with the state organization.
