BLIND POET OF
MARYLAND DEAD
Well Known Catholic Clergy
man Known to Many Here
Dies Suddenly

Word was received here to-day Of
the death OF the Rev. John Banister
Tsbb the blind poet of Maryland. He
died at II o'clock last night at st.
Charles College EIlicott City. Md,
where he was an instructor.
The news of the aged clergyman's
death came as a shock to many OF
the Catholic clergy in Wilmington, who
knew him well as their instructor at
st. Charles College. AS many Of the
local clergy as possible will attend the
funeral services at the college on Mon
day.
Father Tabs death, though expect
ed, came suddenly. and only DR.. J. ].
Farrell, the attending physician. was
with him when he passed away. Rev.
+. \. Mcl<enny, president of St.
Charles, had left his bedside only a
short while before and expected to 60
back before morning to watch until
the end. but the aged poet took a
sinking spell a short time afterward
and in a few minutes expired.
Nervous trouble and an affection of the
throat, accentuated by his age and dis
, ability resulting from his afiiction OF
the eyes, is given at the cause of his
death. He had been in a serious con.
dition for several weeks and though
given every attention, medically and
otherwise. seemed never to respond tc
treatment.

A society can keep any number Of
children trotting up and down the

it must request them TO do it for
nothing, is the information gained by
the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.
which attempted a new departure in
tag-days.
The Mission decided 10 have a tag
day, and concluded that the way was
clear to give the children a day OF
healthful outdoor exercise and alsc
to pay them ten per cent. Of the
profit Of their collections for their
labors. The church advertised foi
nfty children between the ages of Il
and 16 to earn little pin-money or
Saturday.
However, Factory Inspector J. A
Ellison happened TO read the "ad" anc
Il interested him. Although beyond
the age limit specified, he decided tc
apply. Mr. Ellison. on his first visit
concluded the "ad" was practical
joke upon the lawyers. p l.. Car

Mr.. Ellison found the mission was
working in good faith and in ignor-
ance that II was running afoul of the
child labor law by employing children
under legal age. Although IL was work
which would benefit the chidren's
health and would not take them out
of school, of course IL was impossible

we're described as insufficient and unsat-
isfactory accommodations of the present
car The railroad company will be Pc
titioned ito remedy the service. but the
manner of remedying It will not be sug-
gested.

SHAKE UP in
WESTERN UNION
Outsiders Hear Old Officials
viii be Succeeded by Men
Now Outside

Complete reorganization OF the manage
ment of the Western Union Telegraph
Company has been decided upon by the
new interests Just come into control OF
the property. The shake-up Is to begin at
the top and work down to the ranks.
From these interests il was learned that
Colonel Robert c. Clowry. now president
Of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, will shortly be requested TO give
up his position, and that William H.
Baker. of New York, is slated 10 sue
ceed to the presidency Of the corporation.
Those in position TO talk with personal
knowledge Of Western Union matters, as
sert that much mig be said and proved
derogatory Of the company's manage
ment
A few years ago il is stated, for ex-
ample. that the attempt Of j. c. Barclay
to raise rates on the race track business
resulted in the big fight in New York,
the outcome Of which was that this lucra-
tive business, out Of which the Western
Union Telegraph Company Is said to have
made 81, $4,000 a year, disappeared It is
also declared that the blacklisting OF
telegraph operators is something which
has caused widespread trouble.
Again. it is stated that the attitude Of
Colonel Clowry and OF ]. c. Barclay was
largely responsible for the big strike Of
telegraph operators in 1907. which cosi
the Western Union Telegraph Company
some Ss.o0o.OOo. Going further back, It is
said that the undiplomatic action Of
President Clowry made the last straw
which broke the camel's back in the ar
rangement which had existed with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

JUDGE COCHRAN SENDS
ONE MAN TO PRISON

Rioting between the Polish strikers and
the Italian strikebreakers who took their
places at the Blumenthal morocco fac
tory broke out afresh late yesterday af-
ternoon Shots were fired, bricks thrown,
Knives flashed, and as result Of the en-
counter several participants in the riot
were injured It required the determined
efforts of a squad Of policemen, some of
whom had to use their clubs at times, to
restore order. Since then a guard OF po-
licemen has been kept in the vicinity of
the plant, and there has been no violence
to-day.
One Of the men involved in the trouble
last night was sentenced to thirty days
IN the county workhouse by Judge Coch-
ran to-day and another was fined so and
costs.
At . o'clock this morning about IS Bower
glazers in the Blumenthal plant went on
strike. They demanded an extra dollar
which was refused and they walked out
The men had received Si1 a week and
wanted $l2.
In addition 10 the glszers a number Of
oilers and farmhouse men all OF whom
arc Poles, left their work the first thing

Up to the present about 200 men are on
strike at the plant. which is about one
fourth of the employees OF the company.

USED IN STRIKE FIGHT

Italians was the signal for an at
tack by the Polanders. who were sup
piled with clubs and bricks and some
with revolvers.
The Italians drew revolvers and
knives as soon as they emerged from
the factory.
Report of the shots served to draw
a crowd and in a short time the fight
ing became general. Bricks and knives
were the principal weapons used and
a number Of the fighters were injured.
The bricks went flying in all direc-
tions. and passengers fed from street
cars to avoid being hit.
At least two are known 10 have
been stabbed. They were Alexander
Poswinski. of No. 226 Stroud street
and John SczepSowski of No. 212 Oak
street Both were removed to the
police station where their wounds We're
examined by Police Surgeon Joseph
p. Wales. and after receiving medi-
cal attention the men were sent home
They claimed they had been shot but
Dr. Wales found stab wounds only.
The police made three arrests dur
ing the scrimmage and these men were
arraigned in the city Court this
morning.
At the corner OF Front and Adams
streets where most OF the fighting last
evening took place there is pile Of new
bricks which are being used In building
an addition to the Office Of the Blumen-
thai Company. The bricks proved good
ammunition for the opposing forces and
they did not fail TO take advantage of
them. In short time red bricks. which
never had been used. were flying through

were intended and for time things Look

scene when the trouble started. having
done duty around the plant all day. but
the crowd was almost too much for them

Smyrna residents because of its putting

The principal comment and criticism
seemed to be not against the type OF car

tion crystallizing these objections, and
also providing for petitions to be SUBJ
