IT'S TOO BIG A RIOT
 FOR THE CHESTER POLICE
The Pennsylvania COstabuIary Called In to
 Meet the Mob
Violent Disorders Yesterday In Which Two Strike Breakers Were Shot and the Street Car Company Overawed by the Mob.

Chester. Pa. April 16.-Riot and blOOdShed marked the third day of the street car strike here today when the Chester Traction company at tempted to operate its cars with inn ported strike breakers. The strikers and their sympathizers stOrmed trolley car that started out of the barns and in the melee two men were shot. Wm. Griesemer. claim agent of the company. was struck on the arm by a bullet and Wm.- Borgmann. a mOtOrman in charge of the ear, was struck in the foot by another bullet. He was dragged from the car and beaten and rescued from the angry strikers and their sympathizers with difficulty. Griesemer. besides being wounded, received a dislocated shoul- der.
 Several other traction employees 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 of ficials. When the first car was run out on the tracks, followed by the appearance of about forty of the strikebreakers in charge of -Griesemer. the crowd became furious. The car was attacked and the strikebreakers were set upon.

JULIA MARLOWE Is FREE
 OF VON HERMAN CASE
The Complaint Against Her and An other respondent Dismissed.

Boston. April 16.-Attorney Penny A. Brigam of this city. who filed a divorce libel in the Essex county su- perior court at Salem, recently. in be- half of Clara l.. Won Hermann against Karl s. Van Hermann. in which the actress, Miss Julia Marlowe and Mrs Maude Thorburn Backus of Brooklyn. were named correspondents. had the libel dismissed on a motion before Judge Richardson of the superior court. This means that the names of Miss MarlOwe and Mrs Backus are eliminated from the case.
 Brigam said tonight: "I have known Mrs. Van Hermann for many years as well as other members of her family, and for that reason was induced to prosecute the libel in her behalf. That Mrs. VOn Hermann was sincerely honest in all the allegations contained in the libel against Miss Marlowe and Mrs. Backus. l am convinced. but af- ter closer investigation and a more careful sitting of the evidence. I feel convinced that the source of Mrs. Von Herrmann's information is wholly un- reliable. This does not alter my belief that Mrs. Won Hermann should be granted relief by the court or in oth- eT words, a divorce from her husband, on grounds which in no wise involve Miss Marlowe and Mrs. Backus. of which grounds I was in ignorance when I took the case"

The local police are unable to cope with the situation and after many conferences between the traction and city officials 1t was decided to ask the governor to send the state cOnstabu- lary to take charge of the situation.
 The request for state police was sent to the governor by Major Johnson and troop A from Greensburg. in command of Capt. Pitcher and Lieut. Van Voorhees,, and troop C of Reading were ordered to the scene of the dis order Captain John c. Groome of Philadelphia. superintendent of the cOnstabulary, took personal command of the troops. Troop c arrived late to- night and encamped about two miles outside the city limits. The Greens burg men are expected to reach here early tomorrow. There are twenty four men in the command of Captain Pitcher and about the same number of Reading troops. The latter are supplied with ammunition and equip ment sufficient to meet any emer- gency
 The local police. even though aug mented by fifty men specially sworn in. have been unable to give the trol- ley company any protection. No ar rests were made in connection with the disorder today

made, the notion is that some people will believe in them. It is all playing upon the weakness of human nature, which is created with a universal anx- iety to get on what in common par lance is known as the band wagon. It is trading on the theory that people all want to be with the winner and if it can be made to appear that this one or that one is reasonably sure to sue ceed. it is a sure way of bringing large numbers to his support.
 In the present presidential race the Taft boomers are naturally the great est chalmers. There is no doubt but that he has more delegates than any body else. because thus far the con Ventions have been held in the states where il was easiest for him to get them. the purpose being of course tn produce an impression"
 These are but few of the com ments that have appeared in the newspapers of the country recently on this phase of the presidential contest, but they indicate the general distrust that is arising on all sides respecting the claims of the Taft managers. It has been shown in many instances that these claims were not founded upon fact or even upon reasonable prospects.
 The friends of Senator Knox of PcnnSvlVania, Vice President Fair banks of Indiana. Speaker Cannon of Illinois and Governor Hughes of New York. have not indulged in claims but have contented themselves with doing what they could to call public atten- ton to the availability Of their can didates. The supporters of each of these candidates have hopes that the two months that will intervene before the Chicago convention will witness a Centering or public sentiment upon their man. but they have not attempt ed 10 deceive the public by eXtrava- gant claims

He fired the remaining four shots from his revolver into the eIe- phant. /The brute at once turned his attention from the man on the ground to his assailant. The left trousers leg of the keeper was ripped wide open by the infuriated beast and the limb was painfully lacerated. \The flesh from the keepers right hand was also skinned away.
 At a stable where the elephant was brought to bay. another circus attend ant who assisted in the capture was severely bruised. although rescued be- fore any bones were broken.
 At GlenwOod hotel. Eva Howe. a gAcst, was sitting in a swing when the infuriated beast made full at her. She was about to flee when the ele- plants keeper. who was close behind the animal. advised her to sit still. As a result the eleohaSt rushed by her without molesting her.
 At II o'clock tonight it is reported that l.. q. Worsley, the driver of the oil wagon on which the fire started. was close to death. He probably will not survive the night

TORPEDO BOAT QUESTION
 SETTLED BY THE HOUSE
The Naval Appropriation Bill Also Put Out
 of the Way
There Will be Eight Submarines But of No Particular Type as Had Been Recommended In the Commit tees Report.

Washington. April 16.-The long eX- isting controversy as to whether the United States navy should have sub marine torpedo boats of the Holland type as recommended by the commit lee on naval affairs was settled in the house today when after a lengthy and lively debate the provision limiting the secretary of the navy to the purchase only of boats of the Holland type was stricken out. The effect of the action was to give the secretary a free hand in the selection of submarine boats. Members haggled over almost every line of the pages of the bill remain ing to be disposed of when the house met, but the principal action was that in regard to submarines. A humorous speech by Williams, in which he had several friendly clashes with Mir. Hob son over warships and balloons com manded the attention of the house for sometime.
 After agreeing to take up the diplo- matic and consular appropriation bill next the house recessed. There was a brief discussion over the question of armOr plate cost MT. Hitchcock of Nebraska contended that there was really no competition. and said that as a result the government had saved S4OO.0O0 on the battleships Delaware and North Dakota alone
 In a brief speech MT. KnOwland of California blamed MT. Lilley for mak ing palpably false and misleading statements in his speech last week, re- garding worthless navy yards. in which he stated that Mare Island navy yard was one of them. Mir. Lilley, he said. grossly misrepresented the facts regarding the Mare island dry docks in the matter of work done and money paid out He quoted official figures to substantiate his denial.t He then hurl- ed bomb at MT. Lillev and charged that that gentleman had. at New Lon- don. Conn.,. in his own district a use less navy yard upon which consider able sums were being uselessly eX- pended.
 Replying briefly, Mir. Lilley declared that his figures were obtained from the navy department and that he would just as soon abandon the Neo London navy yard as any other one shouldft be shoUn 10 be useless.
 Mir Tawney vehemently opposed the adoption without careful invest iG1tion of an amendment b- Mr. PalSett of Tennessee. appropriating S5.5f3.%o0 for repairs of eighteen vessels. among which are the following: The San Francisco. $500. .000; the Alabama. S556. 900: the Illinois. $667.5O0; the Iowa. s557.

IHE CAMPAIGN Is NOW
 IN THE CLAIMING SIAGE
The Friends Of the Allies" Resent the
 Efforts of the Taft Bureau.

Washington. April 16.-(SpeciaL)- The claims made by the managers of the campaign of Secretary Taft have. in many instances. beeh shown to have been so absurd that the press of the country is coming to look with grave doubt upon the bulletins issued regularly from Taft headquarters. These bulletins are so grossly exag gerated that they are often ridiculous. The Chiacgo Journal, in an editorial says:
 The Taft managers have begun to brag about the number of delegates pledged tO support of his candidacy They say he has enough votes secured to nominate him for the presidency on the first ballot
 ''Conceding to Taft all the delegates that even a hopeful view can discover. he will probably not have more than $50. at the outside. This is long way from a majority of the convention. and it is extremely doubtful whether Taft can travel it."
 In an editorial on Tainted Cam paign News" the Republican of Wa terbury. Conn, warns its readers against dispatches from small towns where conventions are held if they bear evidence of being collected to en- nance the chances of any one of the candidates. All the world knows of the activities of the Taft press agents that paper remarks.
 The Press of Utica, N. Y, has print ed an editorial entitled The Claiming Stage in which it says: Tn the pres idential canvass the claiming stage has been reached. In many cases this is merely an instance of whistling to keep up courage. If big claims are
