ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component

SOCIALISTS
ARRESTED
MARCH OF UNEMPLOYED IN CHI

POLICE.
LIVELY FIGHT ENsuEs
LEADER OF PARADE KNOCKED
DOWN AND TAKEN TO
JAIL.

Chicago-An attempt of Socialists
to bring about a march OF the unem-
ployed" through the downtown streets
Thursday resulted in two sharp fights
with the police in which the would-be
marchers were routed after number
of men had been dubbed.
DIR. Benjamin l.. Reitman, the orig
inator of the plan to march through
the streets, and two of his followers
were arrested after Reitman had been
knocked down for resisting the officers.
For several days Reitman, who is a
Socialist, had been making announce
ments of his intention to hold a pa
rade of "hoboes" and unemployed"
despite the warning given him by Chief
of Police Chippy that no march
through the streets would be per-
mitted.
Reitman continued to defy the au-
thorities, and thousands of circulars
were distributed through the down
town saloons and in the lodging house
district, calling upon all men out OF
work to assemble at g o'clock on the
lake front.
The chief Of police early in the day
reiterated his statement that the
march would not be permitted, and di-

Just before o'clock crowd COM
menced to gather on Michigan avenue
in front of the Art institute, and in a
few minutes q column, which was re-
ally a series of punches of four ana
five men, formed and, headed by Reit-
man, started west on Adams street
The marchers probably did not num-
Der more than 200 at any time. but
many hundreds OF people followed
them along the sidewalks and added
to the confusion.
The police came on at the run, and
the column was instantly broken up.
Several men were knocked down, and
the police, not attempting to make ar
rests, used their clubs freely in quick
ening the footsteps of the fleeing "un-
employed"
A number OF the marchers, after
getting away from the police, went
south in State street, attempting to
form another column as they went.
Reitman turned south in Clark
street, but was quickly caught and
placed under arrest. He showed some
fight, and was handled in vigorous
style. His hat was smashed by a blow
from q policeman's club, he was
knocked down. and his clothing torn.
When he regained his feet he shouted:
Let me go; let me go. know the
chief of police"
He was at once taken to police head
quarters, followed by crowd of 1000
people. After reaching the station
Reitman said:
II was arrested without cause and
was treated brutally. Some policeman
hit me over the head with his club.
There would have been no disorder
II the police had allowed us to march
through the streets as We wished to
do. All we wanted was to go to the
city hall and demand that men out of
work be given employment by the
CITY,"

at the top OF the slope with ominous
silence. He hears no voice. he sees
no portentous figure; but there is COM
