STREET RIOTERS
SHOOTING UP"
CITY OF LA PAz
Electric Wires Cut and Many
Shots Fired
FOREIGNERS IN DANGER
Numerous Manifestations of Anti
pathy Toward People of Arsen-
tine and Peru

La Paz, Bolivia, July r. La Paz
was given over Sunday night to riot.
The people swarmed into the streets
and did much damage The electric
light wires were cut and plllaging
was begun on all sides. Shots were
heard in every direction. The situa-
ton for foreigners, especially Perry
ian and Argentine residents is ex-
tremly serious.
The guards protecting the Peruvian
and Argentine legations were dis
missed suddenly Saturday evening for
some unknown reason. When this
became known street mobs renewed
their attacks on the legations causing
serious damage.
The Argentine minister, Senior Fo-
neca and his wife had narrow es-
cape from injury. They made their
way out of the legation and ran a dis
lance of eight blocks, finally seeking
protection in the home, of the presi-
dent of Bolivia.
Manifestations have been numerous
in public places and at a meeting held
Saturday portrait of Figueroa Alcor-
ia, president of the Argentine, was
placed head downward on a pole and
stoned to pieces.
1t is reported here that consider
able excitement prevails at Lima and
Buones Ayres and the Argentine gov
ernment's silence in the face of Bo-
livian protests is regarded as omin-
Gus.

ARSENALS NOT IN
SAME CLASS WITH
BENNINGTON
WatervIiet Team Narrowly Es-
capped a Shut-out
MADE BUT ONE LONELY RUN
Home Team Had Batting Bee and
CircIed the Bases for 10
Tallies

For a few minutes Saturday after
noon 1t looked as though the audience
at Morgan park were going to be Civ
en- an opportunity to watch a scrap
py" ball game. The team from Wat
ervliet opened up the proceedings
with a display of energy that gave in
dications of real base ball, but soon
after. the first inning it became evil
dent that the New Workers. were tray
cling out of their class and the game
became a procession with Bennington
several blocks ahead and at the fin
ish almost out of sight.
Corey pitched a remarkable game,
allowing the visiting team but three
scattered hits, two of which were
made by one player. But for a wild
pitch in the first inning he would have
had shut-out to his credit He was
given excellent support by burlington
who had but one opportunity to use
his whip. In the fourth inning, the
Arsenal third baseman who made the
first hit for his team. became ambit-
lous and attempted to steal third base
with the ball.
The members of the Bennington
team. whose work grows better vita
every game, gave pretty exhibition
In both the out and the infield. The
grounders were with two exceptions
all handled in a clean and sure man
ner and everything that went to the
outfield was pulled down. King In
| right field had pretty assist TO sec
ond base in the Sth inning. Another
spectacular play was a put-out at sec
ond executed by Waters and Carl
The former missed a grounder thai
twisted through his legs but the bal
was quickly recovered by Waters anC
thrown quick enough TO catch the for
ced runner The play was so quickly
executed that it was all over before
the spectators realized what was hap
pening.
The local team gave its best exhib
tion at the bat during the present sea
son. King, who has not been him
self since his recent injury was NJ
four times and on each occasion made
safe hit Two of them were to the
short infield and but for his speed i
is not likely that he would have beer
able to beat the ball to first. He wal
unusually fast on his feet and starte,
from the plate like sprinter.
| Zinzar, Watson, Cherry and Bur
rington secured two hits apiece Wat
sons second single was liner int
left field that didn't stop going unit
the big first baseman had almos
reached the home plate. He didn'
have to hurry to complete the circui
of the bases before the ball was re
turned
Prindle had but two chances in lief
field. He nad two stolen bases on
of which helped in the making o
Bennington's first run. The score:

STRIKE ORDERED
IN SOFT COAL
DISTRICT
Order for $4,000 to Go Out on
Thursday
BLOW AT BIG STEEL MILLS
Pittsbure Coal Company Accused Of
Not Living up to Agreement
With Employees

Pittsburg, July ia strike of 49,
600 coal miners which has been or
dered for next Thursday morning will
close down the many mines of the
Pittsburg Coal company or famous
Soft Coal Trust and will be a drive
at the United States Steel Corpora
ton, which gets its coal from them.
Shutting off the supply of coal from
the corporation mills at this time
will be a severe blow and it is under
stood that one of the reasons the
strike was decided on at this time
was because of the fight now on by
the tin plate workers against the
Steel Corporation. 1t was announc-
ed some time ago that the United
Mine Workers were thinking about
taking a hand in the strike of the tin
plate men and also that the Fedora
ton of Labor had sent men into the
Pittsburg district to look over the
ground and make a report.
Tae decision 80 strike was arrived
at yesterday afternoon after long con
ference between the national and the
international officers of the United
Mine Workers of America The mllls
OF the Pittsburg district are starting
up again. and there is a big demand
for part of the S.O00,000,00O bushels
of coal which the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany has promised to deliver yearly
to the corporation. Cutting of this
coal supply at once was Thought to
| be q good way to assist the strike OF
the tin plate workers, as well as
gain some points for the miners them
| selves. The order TO strike was Civ
en- and notices to $4,000 miners reach
| ed the different lodges today.
The reasons given by the miners
| officials for the strike at this time
seem general 1t is set forth that the
| Pittsburg Coal company with its u
| mines, ilas not lived up to its agree
ment with the workmen and that new
and heavier duties have been forced
on the men. There is nothing specif
| ic in the order to strike sent out, nc
specified grievance, and this adds &c
the belief that the strike has really
been called as move in sympathy
with the tin plate strike.

ment to Avoid Collision With

The party left here in the morning
in A. X. Ritchie's Winton touring car
with the intention of driving 20
Stockbridge for dinner and returning

denly confronted by a double team
driven by Marshall Crane son of Uni
ted States Senator Crane of Dalton
and containing . young man by the
name of Plunlt tt and two young lad
les.
In speaking OF the accident Mr. Rit-
chic said that the car was running at
a slow rate of speed. The road was
so narrow thatthere wasno chance for
Mr. Crane to turn out as his side Of
the road was fianked by high bauk.
The only way to avoid It collision was
to run the car as far Out ON the river
side of the road as possible without
going down the bank and this ne at
tempted to do.
The earth was so soft, however,
that the forward wheels sank under
the caving turf and the car was in IN
instant turned bottom side up. The
car did not drop more than six feet
in its descent and all of the members
of the party with the exception of
Mrs. Packard were either thrown out
or fell clear of the machine. Kenneth
Richie was thrown over his fathers
head and landed in a clump of bushes
without sustaining any injury

Jury was received in the fall as no
part of the car was resting on the
arm.
When the car went over the bank
Mr. Cranes horses became frightened
and boited, but he soon had them un-
der control and returned to the scene
of the accident He at once telephon-
ed to the Hoese of Mercy at Pitts

back into the highway, after which 1t
was taken to Pittsfield The only
damage was TO some of the woodwork
OF the tonneau.
The accident happened about five
o'clock in the afternoon. After ascer-
tanning that everything possible had
been done for Mrs. Packard the other

ANOTHER ACCIDENT
Mr.. and Mrs. James &. Burke Had
Trying Experience Sunday Evening


Mr.. and Mrs. James Il. Burke had a
trying experience with their Pope
Tribune roadster about o'clock sun
day afternoon near Petersburg, n. Y,
on their way home after a long drive
through that section of the country.
At the foot of one of the steep hills IN
the vicinity of the town section OF
the steering apparatus broke and the
car became manageable. After do
ing various stunts about the ROAD
near an unfriendly fence, Mr.. Burke
succeeded in stopping the car before
any serious damage was done to the
machine or the surrounding lands
cape. Luckily Mr.. Burke was driv-
ing in his usual careful manner or the
occupants of the auto would have un
doubtedly been injured.
After the machine was stopped Mr.
and Mrs. Burke found themselves in
a hard predicament, being as 1t SEEM
ed several miles from railroad sta
ticn with walking the only motive
power available. Just as they We're
preparing to make a start the familiar
honk, honk of an approaching auto
mobile was heard in the distance ana
soon w. H. Gokay and a party hove
in sight. Never was a life saving
crew more welcome. Mr.. Gokay, how
ever, had his car filed to its capacity
and was therefore obliged to bring his
friends here before taking Mr.. and
Mrs. Burke home. He returned to
Petersburg at once and arrived here
with the victims of the accident I'M
.er the cover of darkness.
The automobile was so badly de-
ranged steeringly that it could not be
towed home and was left to repose in
peace along the roadside for the en-
tertainment of pedestrians and horse
dealers.
