''REDS" HAILED into COURT
WOMAN ANARCHIST CHARGED
WITH INCITING RIOT.
Aftermath of Philadelphia March OF
Unemployed Is Arrest of Miss
De Cieyre.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 22.-The
demonstration on Broad street by
more than 1000 unemployed foreign
ers which ended in a serious clash
with the police, was followed Friday
by numerous arrests.
Chief among those taken into Gus
tody was Voltairine de Cleyre, a pro
fessed anarchist, who addressed a
meeting Of men which preceded their
march to the city hall where they said
they intended to ask Mayor Reyburn
for work. Hyman Weinberg, David
Cohen and Henry Granet were others
arrested. Miss De Cleyre was given
hearing and remanded in $4,000 bail
on a charge of melting a riot. The
alleged leaders in the demonstration
on Broad street arrested, were also
held in bail on charges of assault and
battery with intent to kill and melting
to riot, while nine others were held in
$500 bail on charges of melting to
riot.
Voltarine de Cleyre is responsible
for the statement that the meeting
which ended with the march on the
city hall was held under the Italian
and Jewish anarchist groups, but in.
vestigation shows that political work
ers in the foreign settlements had
much to do with the movement. 1t ap-
pears that before election last Tues.
day the political workers in the for
eign settlement promised the unem-
ployed men that if they voted Ger.
tain tickets the city government would
see that they were put to work on
the streets and under city contractors
In such manner as to help them
through the hard times. While the an.
archistic speakers were talking of
the remedies for business stagnation
at the meeting preceding the march on
the city hall, the workers, or unem-
ployed, many of whom were not an
archists, bolted the meeting to see if
the city authorities intended to make
good the promises. This started the
parade. a

ILLINOIS CENTRAL souAs6LE RI
NALLY CLOSED.

... cago Courts.

New York, Feb. 24.--Stuyvesant
Fish announced Sunday night that the
contest in the Chicago courts to pre-
vent the voting of Illinois Central
Railroad company stock held by the
Union Pacific Railroad company was
closed
Mr.. Fish made the following state
ment concerning the closing of the
litigation in Chicago:
Il went into the contest at the
solicitation of many stockholders, who
had for many years intrusted me with
their proxies and on the advice of
counsel, with great reluctance. My
effort has been to protect the Illinois
Central and my own, large holdings
therein of 12,432 shares from exploita.
ton by men whose acts in other cor
porations have been denounced, after
full investigation by officers of the fed
eral government, and are involved in
suits in the courts here in New York,
in Utah and elsewhere, and have done
my best to advise the stockholders of
the situation. When Mr. Hartman
and his associates shall at length be
forced to answer the questions which
they have been evading for a year
past my contention that the destiny
of the Illinois Central and the inter,
est of the state of Illinois therein
should not be intrusted to him and
those selected by him will be justi-
fed.
Il take this opportunity of thanking
the holders Of more than 100000
shares OF the stock of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company for having hon.
ored me with their proxies and their
confidence in this contest. Submit
ting to, and not acQuiescing in Judge
Balls decision, the contest in the
courts is now closed"

DUMA HITS At TERRORISM
RUSSIA N BODY, FOLLOWING
RIOTS, TAKES STRONG ACTION.
First Two Sessions Refused to Be
Committed on Desires, But Latest
Meeting Is Decided in Move.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-The duma
Friday night adopted resolution con-
demning terrorism by a big majority.
a notable part of which was made up
of Constitutional Democrats, who in
the first two dumas repeatedly refused
to be committed to a condemnation.
The Constitutional Democrats formula
expressed its disapproval OF methods
of violence, whether they were en-
ployed by the government or against
the government, and the attempt of
the monarchists to commit the duma
to sweeping vilification of revolu.
ton failed of success, the reactionary
speeches calling out notable utter
ances from the Octoberists reminding
the members that the duma itself was
a revolutionary product.
Baron De Meyendorf, Octoberist and
second vice-president of the duma,
said revolution. was historical
process for leading the autocracy to
constitution. The revolutionists, he
declared, used criminal means to
reach worthy ends, but that this was
paralleled by the governments de-
tense of authority by irregular meth
DDS, which transcribed the law The
dumas principal task now, he said,
was to teach the government, from
the highest to the lowest members of
it, proper respect for the law.

LUCAS IS NEW MAJOR
Fairfield Man Wins Out Easily In
Guard Election.

The election for major in the oath
Regiment Iowa National Guard, 10 fill
the position made vacant by the ex-
piratioD of the term of Office OF Major
liz. L. Wetherell of Des Moines, held
Monday evening in the armories OF
the several companies of the regiment
proved to be a rather one-sided af-
fair. The election was practically q
unanimous choice Of Edwin r. Lucas,
of Company M of Fairfield, the rank
ing captain OF the regiment.
Captain Ball, of Iowa City, and Cap
tain Norton, of Muscatine, sent out
notices Monday Withdrawing from the
race and Captain Kulp of Davenport
was not considered as a candidate for
the place. This left the way unob-
structed and Captain Lucas was an
easy victor.
Company F cast only thirty-eight
votes. The attendance at the cleo
tion was materially cut by the heavy
rain that prevailed during the even
ing. Many of the Company F lads
reside in the country and were UNI
able to get in on account OF weather
conditions.
| Captain John Bradbury states that
Lucas was the choice of the Oskaloosa
company from the first and he would
have received the company vote, no
matter what other candidates were
in the field with the exception of Ma
jor Wetherell. The boys all regret
that the Major has found it neces-
sary to sever his connection with the

had he been a candidate for re-elec-
tiot he would have been easily elect
led. H.
