claim. She admitted to having re-

yer to sign quftclaim, but said this
was done under duress. She had kept
ropies Of some Of the Plat letters then
given up and one typewriter acknowl-
edgment Of the marriage with Platt's

Ruef Jury Disagrees.
After being out forty eight hours the |
jury in the bribery case against Abe

deal at Vieksburg. The dealer was
wiped out by decline, and the broker
sued him for the sum due over margin
deposited. In Mississippi the laws
against stock gambling prevented col
lection, but a Judgment was got In Mis-
souri,. This, however, was not recog-
nized by the Mississippi courts, but in
this course the supreme court takes the
opposite view, at least a majority of it,
holding that the Missouri judgment
should be given full force In Missis-
sippi.
Mrs. Guinness Body Identified.
Finally, after much speculation, the
body Of the woman found in the ruins
of the Laporte Qnd) farmhouse were
positively identified as that of Mrs.
Guinness, the multi-murderess, by the
finding of her teeth, on which local
dentist had operated. The further ex-
animation Of remains dug up in the
yard Of the Guinness place showed that
four of her victims had been killed the
same week and possibly the same
night. The grand jury investigation
was still in progress.
Labor Injunction Refused.
The petition of the Chicago Railway
company for an order restraining it's
employees from striking was denied by
Judge Walker because he regarded it
beyond the scope of his powers. He

dent in support of this view. The strike
is called because the company refuses
signed from the union.

Burrows was not entangled with either
faction Of the party and when Taft
returned from Panama and held prt.

AVN A' "oAAAASoA' mead or the city
street railway system ON the three cent
fare basis and commander of the po-
lice department of the city, met the
outbreak of riots with an order to the
force. The sheriff swore in a large
number of deputies to protect the car
barns in the Lakewood suburb, where
the local police had not tried to inter
fere with the obstructive tactics of the
strikers and their sympathizers. Dur
ing the first day Of the strike the en-
tire police force was kept busy by the
numerous attacks on the cars which
the company tried to run with break
ers. Cars were derailed, wires cut.
crews attacked and stones thrown at
the police at many points. On three of
the biggest lines not car was moved
pending the arrival Of breakers from
the east The people fell back on bicy-
cles, automobiles and wagons Of every
description to get to and from their
work. One car was derailed by a
dynamite bomb, and next day several
cars were dynamited. Some passen-
gers were injured. but none fatally.
and all traffic was again stopped.
The dynamiting Of cars continued
nightly, and scenes Of disorder In
creased. The strikers rejected the of
fer of the company to restore three
fourths Of the men to their former po-
sitions pending arbitration Of the wage
increase. The labor council has boy
cotted the company.
Many passengers were injured in the
attacks on the cars, and one little girl
was killed by car In the hands of
an inexperienced motorman. Hotels,
groceries and saloons refused to pro-
vide for the sheriffs and breakers.
Later the strikers agreed to submit to
vote an arbitration offer.
A Thousand idle Cars Restored.
One sign Of the return of prosperity
is the order of the Pennsylvania rail-
road to place back on the rails the thou
sand freight cars which were set aside
for want of siding some time ago. This
is in anticipation of the coming rush Of
business during the summer months.
Mitchell Warns Operators.
Former President Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers, noting the re-
port that the anthracite operators had
decided to reduce wages Of the miners
to make up for the payment Of dam
ages under the liability law and for
the compliance with the safety appli-
ance law, declares that the miners will
not tolerate such an injustice" The
proposal to take over the retail bust
ness, he says, would mean the virtual
reduction in wages, as there would be
no huctuation in retail prices to be
divided under the sliding scale.

No Socialist Party Tactics.
Complete and authoritative reports Of
the Socialist national convention at
Chicago as published by the Chicago
Daily Socialist reveal the fact that the
Socialist party has made radical de-

important issues of the day. Resolu-
tons were adopted to the following eff
feet:
Against the excessive use of alco-
holic liquors and recognizing the evils
arising from the sale Of them, but not
fin favor of trying to cure these "by an
extension of police powers under the
capitalistic SYSTEM" rather by stop
