TAXICABS PROFIT
BY CAR STRIKE
Pittsburg Permits Vehicles to
Exceed the Usual Speed
Limit

PITTSBURG. June e7.-On account of
the street car workers strike only one
car moved in Pittsburg and its suburbs
today. That car carried United States
mail. People generally walked. Shuttle
trains on the railroads drew little pat
ronage.
The day was marked with only one
clash between strikers and nonunion-
men, Two negroes applied to the su-
perintendent at the Homewood> ca rbarns
for situations and We're set upon by
union sympathizers and chased from the
district. The police were notified, but
no arrests We're made.
The taxicabs OF the city did large
business and We're allowed to exceed
speed limits.
AT many of the churches services
were dispensed with. Rev. DR.. A. Fisher
of the Wylie avenue Baptist chucrh, an
aristocratic congregation, referred to
the strike al his morning service, say
ing:
"If these men, both union and official,
had loved each other as Christ taught
this strike which now engulfs this
city would never have occurred. be-
lieve these poor striking motormen and
conductors are only asking what these
wealthy street railway operators could
have granted without straining point.
| pray God that no violence may at
tend this labor struggle as marked
Pittsburg by a trail of blood during
those unfortunate days of the Home
stead strikes"
1t is known that the Pittsburg rail-
way company has been negotiating
with professional strike breakers with
a view of bringing them into the city.

BOMB IN HEART OF CHICAGO
INJURIES II; COSTS S125,0O0
ISeeeiaI Dispatch 10 The Call

Randolph" exchange is being installed.
Schuettler estimated that the bomb
contained 25 pounds of dynamite and
was ignited by a fuse. He leaned to
thhe opinion that it might have been
due TO labor troubles with the tele-
phone company" or refusal of telephone
service TO gamblers. Nowhere was
was particularly serious effort made to
discredit a gambling connection with
thhe explosive.
BY strange coincidence the act
ing chief was sitting in his office in
the city han at 11:O5 O'Clock, saying
jokingly that he was waiting for
the bomb thrower to come in and give
himself up" when the building trem-
bled under the force of the explosion,
which was terrific.
There he goes" shouted Schuettler,
rushing out to the curb and jumping
into his automobile.
Whatever the immediate motive of
the outrage may have been. the acting
chief and the fast gathering crowd
about the block in which the bomb
was exploded, found the results to be
ave inspiring. Almost every window
in the block near the street level was
broken.

CHINESE EGGS CAUSE
STRANGERS TO FLEE
Method of Preparing Food Un-
pleasant to Foreigners

In the Revue d'Hygiene," Dr. Ma
legnon, who has dwelt long in China,
gives some curious details of the food
of the Chinese. This is what he says
of the Sons of Heaven and the way
they eat eggs: The Chinese are great
eaters of eggs, which they take hard
boiled. One finds them in all the road
side places for refreshment. The ce-
lestials have an expression: Eggs of
q hundred years" The eggs are not
always century in age, but one is
able to get them of many years stand
ing. The celestials have preference
for the egg of the duck or goose. They
are placed with aromatic herbs in
slaked lime for a period more or less
long, the minimum time of treatment
being five or six weeks. Under the
influence OF time the yollz liquefies and
takes a dark green color. The white
coagulates and becomes green. The
product of the eggs, which has a
strong odor, from which a stranger
betakes himself quickly, the Chinese
eat as hors d'oeuvre, and it is said
to have the taste of lobster.
