CLEVELAND STREET. CARS
 BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE
Otherwise the Strike in the Forest
 City is An Orderly Disturbance.

Cleveland, May 1S.-A Broadway street car was partially destroyed by a dynamite torpedo tonight, while twenty-five passengers were in the car but no one was seriously injured A panic followed and a mad rush for exits was made. A Madison street car was also damaged by the explo- sion of powder on the track The floor of the car was broken through and one woman was seriously injured
 Trivial rioting, a deadlock in arbi- tration proposals, the car service largely restored and the refusal of the traction authorities to do anything until disorder and violence ceases marked the third day of the strike of the men on the Municipal Traction lines.
 The company succeeded in operat- ing all its lines with but slightly i'm paired service considering the diff culties. While no special efforts were made to send cars to the suburbs, in the city proper cars were run on an average schedule of nine minutes, which is but four minutes below nor nal.
 There was a marked decrease in disorder and violence reported until tonights explosions. In several in stances car windows were broken by stones, cars were stopped and non union crews assaulted.

SPECULATION RACED
 ON SHOCK EXCHANGE
The Professionals Blocked Wherever There Were Signs of Activity.

New York, May 1S.-The speculative spirit was rampant about the exchange today and professional traders were quick to follow any signs of an in- cipient movement in any quarter of the list. Rapid rise of prices in the va rious stocks and the sudden manner in which they started up into strength and activity from comparative quiet were marked features today There was a striking movement during the day in stocks, of the Gould properties as a group.
 In spite of a sharp rise in copper In the metal excange, copper shares were not prominent, and were in fact, re- actionary in the early trading. After a late period of profit taking. the market closed with he bull faction in apparently continued control

THE PRICE OF PAPER
 WAS CAREFULLY RAISED

 ther Combination Nor Conspiracy.

 Tom L. Waller second vice presi- dent and manager was the principal witness.

 He complained that his company has been accused either directly or by in ference of a great many transactions with which it had nothing to do.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the committee had a session tonight, they were unable to conclude the taking of testimony but hope to do so by to- morrow night.

La Porte, May 1S.-Autopsies held today on the remains of the seven unidentified bodies exhumed from Mrs. Gunness' private burial grounds were completed this evening and re- vealed the fact that one of the seven was a female. This has aroused new interest in the story of Emil Green ing of Oklahoma, who was employed by Mrs. Gunness at the time Jennie Olsen disappeared and his story was to the effect that on a Friday, in September, a man and a woman came to the house and that night Mrs. Guinness asked Greening to sleep in the barn as the couple, who she said were a professor ond his wife from a Los Angeles college which Jennie was attending, would spend the night at the house and would require Greening's room. In the morning Greening saw nothing of Jennie nor the man nor woman, and was inform ed by Mrs. Gunness that they left on an early train, taking Jennie along.
 This body, which is now declared to be that of a woman, was taken from the same hole as that of Jennie Ol-
 
 bodies of Ole Budsberg and the re- mains of a male person. All the bodies were dismembered, but the trunks of four were such that it was possible to identify the bodies of Jennie Olsen and Budsberg, and it was also possible by today's autopsies to determine that one of the other was a female.
 The theory now advanced is that Mrs. Guinness, on the same night that Greening slept in the barn may have murdered not only Jennie Olsen, but also the man and woman. To Coroner Mack, Sheriff Smutzer and Prescott tor Smith this seems almost incon- ceivable, but considered in the light of recent developments, nothing ap pears impossible for this archmur

FAREWELL
 TO FRISCO Departure of the Fleet for
 the North
Only Two War Vessels Now Left Within the Golden Gate.

San Francisco, May S.-In the gray mist of the rainy morning, the Allan tic fleet sailed out through the Golden Gate today on its way to visit various ports on Puget Sound. On the way up the coast the fleet will sail close in shore at certain points in order to give the people of northern California and Oregon an opportunity to view the long line of fighting vessels under way at sea. The ships will arrive at Puget Sound on Thursday, the Minnesota, Missouri, and Ohio dropping anchors at Port Los Angeles; the Illinois and Kearsarge anchoring at Port Town send the Connecticut, Louisiana, Kan sas, Vermont, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey going to Bellingham; the Wis consin, Nebraska, and Kentucky going to Bremerton navy yard.
 Reassembling at Port Townsend on May 23rd, the fleet will proceed to Seattle that afternoon for a three days visit. Then the ships of one squadron will sail for San Francisco for dock ing, while the others will return to Bremerton to be docked there in prep aration for the resumption of the world cruise which starts from San Francisco on July '.
 The anchors were lifted from San Francisco bay at 11:15 today and he fleet got underway for the first time under command of Rear Admiral Sperry. The ships Maine and Ala bama, units of the long cruise from Hampton Roads were missing from the line today, their places being filled by the Nebraska, a ship of the Georgia class and Wisconsin, sister ship dis placed the Alabama. The Maine and Alabama will set out for the east by Suez canal on June 15, sailing as a special service squadron.
 The sailing of the Atlantic fleet left only two ships of war anchored here, the Alabama and the cruiser South Dakota, the latter being busy with the grimy work of coaling after a success ful three days trial trip which ended on Saturday afternoon. The Maine is at Mare Island.
 The performance of the South Da- kota steaming 22.36 knots for four hours under a forced draught and 20.36 knots for hours, is attracting much attention in naval circles the big cruiser displacing HOO more tons of water than when she underwent the builders trial. Her total displacement was just short of 15,00O tons. more thon 1000 tons weight being on board in excess of the planned displacement of cruisers of this type.

 Today's engagements virtually ex- haust the assay offices supply of gold bars, so that bankers will be forced to send coin until the government is able to secure new supply of bars. The opinion prevailed that the American banks would ship considerably more gold before the week ended.

 cution Will Follow.

Little Rock, Nov. l6.-The order issued by the Arkansas Railroad Commission prohibiting the truuk lines of Arkansas from enforcing the 3 cent passenger rste in this state went into effect at l2:0I o'clock this morning.

The railroaos will refuse to comply with the order, as they did in the freight rate case, and it IS generally understood that thc commission will not accept the arguments of the railroads at the hearing 10 be held.

MOVEMENT TO CUT
 COTTON ACREAGE
Ben Griffin Tells of Efforts Being Made by Farmers Union Lo- calls to Get Pledges From
 Members.

Little Rock, Nov. 15.-An im- portaut movement is now on foot in the Arkansas Farmers Union which has for it's purpose the diversihcation of crops among all union farmers. according 10 the statement of Ben Griffin of Conway. former secretary of the state organization who was in Little Rock yesterday.
 "The movement has been taken up by all the locals through out the state" declared Mir. Griffin. Each member of the union is being asked to pledge himself 10 cut down his cotton acreage a certain percent and plant the ground iu something else"
 What percentage is 10 be planted in something other than cotton?" was asked Mir. Griffin.
 "There is no definite amount stipulated" he replied.
 Expects Cotton to Rise.
 Mir. Griffiu was asked if the members of the union were satis- fled with the success thus far ot the union movement to with hold the cotton from the market to boost the price.
 "We are satisfied" he stated, although, of course the finan- cing of distressed cotton is not yet on the perfect basis that we want it and will have it. I feel sure, however, that the price of cotton will be raised as the re- suit of the movement that is now iu existence. Cotton is now selling for 9 cents, and I think it will raise to 10 cents before ths winter is over.'
 Uuion to Favor Agricultural School.
 Mir. Griffin was also asked 1 yesterday as 10 what measure the Arkansas Farmers Union 1 would support at the coming session of the legislature.
 "The uuiou will fight for the schools" he stated, ! land will also support a measure changing the exemplitication ! laws of the state"
