Immediately he was pursued by

in less than half and hour seven cars
were dynamited, five being completely
demolished and burned. The police
officials were powerless at the moment
to combat the mob, but a riot call
brought half hundred blue coats to
the scene and the crowd was driven
back But the damage had been done
and there was little need of the pre-

There were also incipient riots at
the car barns at Sixteenth and Jack

when an attempt was made to run

disturbance was ducked in water
trough. twenty-five plain clothes men
and policemen were rushed to the
scene on a special trolley and after
the cars were run back into the barn
there was no further trouble.
