STRIKE ARE ROUTED
One Policeman Shot and May Die
While Several others Are Wound
ed-Cars Piled UP and Burned But
Strikers Are Said Not TO Have Par
ticipated.

PHILADELPHIA. PA, June .
The attempt of the philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company to operate It's cars
tonight with strike breakers import
ed from other cities resulted in the
first serious rioting which had oc-
Cured since the strike Of the street
car men began on May %.
In the Kensington district, where
many mills are located, the feeling
ran high. Mobs CT men, women ana
children pulled the motormen ana
conductors frcm their cars and bear
them severely. In many instances
cars were set on fire and in other
cases thrown across the tracks. The
police were powerless TO control the
angry strike sympathizers. When
they charged the mob it separated
only to form again in the vicinity o.
another car.
The officials OF the company an
ncunced today that night cars would
be run tonight for the first time Since
the beginning Of the strike. Wnez
the rioting started after nightfall ev-
cry car that could be 500 into tle
barns of the company was taken OF
the street

Many Districts Effected.

While the most serious rioting &C.
Cured in the mill district in Ken
singtOn. cars were attacked In MANI
ether parts of the city. In West
Philadelphia dynamite caps were
placed on the tracks and crowds s;or-
ed the strike breakers when they at
tempted to bring out cars, forcing
them TO return to the barns In the
downtown section conductors and mo-
tcrmen were pulled from their cars
and their clothes torn from their
backs by mobs OF strike sympathiZers.
In come cases the terrified strike
breakers had to be taken to private
houses and guarded by police to save
them from bodily harm.
In Kensington there were FIVE big
riots and all evening Kensington was
filed with a bowling mob. So far
as can be learned the striking Street
car men themselves did not take any
part in the rioting. They were kept
confined by their leaders in their va
r;Ous meeting places.
The imported strike breakers provi
ed to be disappointment to the CON-
pany, many of them deserving their
cars at the first sign of trouble and
leaving them standing in the street at
the mercy of the mob Several of
them applied to the strikers for aid
to return to New York. saying they
had been brought here under misrep-
reScntatiCn.

Fishes in Dry Streams.

When brooks, streams and ponds
become dry. most fishes die. Some
kinds, however, like eels and cat
fishes, are able to survive for con
siderable time by burrowing into the
wet or moist bottom, which may be
quite dry at the surface. This is
particularly true of some tropical
fishes found in regions subject to
drought, where it is 4 matter of
common observation that a pond de-
preston that has been baked by the
suns rays for days or weeks will, inn
after heavy rainfall. af
ford good fishing The ability of
certain tropical fishes to endure
drought and to remain out of the
water for a long time in the markets
depends on the possession of an ac-
cessory gill on the under side of each
gill cover, by means of which oxygen
may be taken directly from the at
Failure to notice dead
fish after the drying of brooks or
ponds simply means that birds and
four-foOted beasts - often night
prowlers - have been there first.
One of the most important lines of
work carried on by the fisheries
branch of the government is the
rescue of food and game fishes from
the overhowed lands in the MiSsis-
sippi valley After the floods sub
side. shallow pools are left that are
wholly disconnected with the streams
and in these the fishes gradually
perish as the drying of the pools
progresses. By sending men to
seine these pools. the government
each year saves and returns to pub
lie waters hundreds of thousands of
valuable fishes.

Suggestions for Amateur Photography

Few things are more pulling to
the amateur photographer than to
determine the length of time to give
an interior exposure, says Woman :
Homc Companion for November.
The following hints were given the
writer by skillful professional and
have enabled him to obtain some
very fine negatives with no waste.
First focus carefully with open
lens. next put in your smallest stop,
then cover your head with the dark
cloth and look on the ground glass.
You will probably see only a very
dim view, or even only spot of light
If the room is dark. Note the exact
time on your watch, and then cover
your head up again and watch the
ground glass until you can see the
entire picture upon it, even to the
shadows. 1t will surprise the anna
teur to see the length of time it
takes one to see the entire picture in
this manner. but the eye gradually
becomes accustomed to the light and
in one minute. as Il rule, one can dis
tingush the entire picture. Then
multiply the time by four and that
will give you the time in minutes to
make your exposure. For example,
if your time was one and one half
minutes, your exposure should be
just four times one and one-half,
which equals six minutes.
