DEPUTIES ENGAGE
IN RIOTOUS ACTS

Rome, July IA serious disturbance oc-
Cured In the chamber of deputies tonight
during the discussion of the subvention
which the government proposed to give
the italian Lloyd Steamship company for
25 years for the transportation of mail.
Strong opposition has developed in the
last few weeks to the scheme, the bill
being attacked as detrimental to the in
terests Of the state.
When a vote was about to be taken this
evening the republican deputy. Signor Cal
laini said he regretted having approved
the condemnation of former Minister
Nuncio Nasi by the high court of the
senate "for stealing bric-a-brac," while
some of the present ministers and SEN
ators might be impeached. This deciara-
tion caused great tumult. Signor Schat-
ger, minister Of posts and telegrap phs, to
whom the deputy had particularly re-
ferred, arose from his chair and rushed
at Signor Callaini A personal encounter
was prevented by the Intervention of
other deputies, but inkstands and books
were thrown promiscuously The sitting
was suspended.
Signor Schatzer was the object of a
demonstration of sympathy even from the
opposition members for what they termed
an unjustihed insult. When Signor Cal
laini left the chamber crowd of several
hundred persons applauded and cheered
him vigorously.

WARSHIPS GATHER
IN FIGHTING TRIM

Rockport Mass, July 7.-Garbed in the
gray of war and equipped with tall, fight
ing rnasts, 13 battleships of the North At
lantic squadron assembled off Cape Ann
today. As the sun was setting this array
of sea fighters, the largest since the
world-circling fleet dispersed at Hampton
Roads, started to the eastward to engage
In manuevers off the Massachusetts coast.
For the next four or five weeks exten-
siye movements will be carried out. On
Saturday the fleet is expected at Province
town, which will be its base in northern
waters.
The ships which will join the fleet as
the movements progress include four bat
tleships, dozen torpedo boats and de-
stroyers and submarines and auxiliaries.
1t will be the largest and most powerful
fleet of war vessels ever gathered in
American waters
The concentration of the fleet off Thatch-
er's island today was impressive.
After three days at sea when the ships
put back to Provincetown the 10000 or
more sailors will have a liberty day for
sports among the sand dunes of Cape Cod.
The ships in the party were the Con-
necticut (hagship) Vermont, Louisiana,
Kansas. Maine, New Hampshire, Wiscon-
sin. New Jersey, Minnesota, Georgia,
Rhode Island, Nebraska and Idaho. Later
the Missouri, Virginia, Ohio and Mis-
sissippi will complete the quota of II first
class battleships.

At colliery No. 3 tonight the strikers
are in charge of the situation. There, a
mob, assisted by women and children, at
tackled the men who wanted to work and
prevented all but few from entering the
mine.
At the Caledonia colliery about 800 strik-
ers assembled in front of the main gate,
and all who came through the crowd to
go to work were jeered stoned and
chased.
During the day 1000 strikers surrounded
the jail in which the prisoners arrested
this morning are confined and 1t was
thought an attempt would be made to re-
lease the men. This however, did not
occur.
General Manager Duggan has appealed
to the town of Glace Bay and Dominion

Glace Bay, 3. c., July 7.-Riotous scenes
at the GOLFERS, an assault on General
Manager Duggan, the reading of the riot
act, the injury of several workmen, II
arrests, and the refusal of Mayor Douglas
of Glace Bay to call out the troops at
the request of the company were the
special features that marked the second
day of the strike of the United Mine
Workers of America in the employ of the
Dominion Coal company.
The strike assumed a violent form at
No. and No mines early In the day,
as soon as the first men appeared for
work. An enormous crowd assembled at
the former waiting for the men who were
expected to got to work. When the first
man appeared riot started. General
Manager Duggan and a posse of police
charged the crowd. Mr.. Duggan was
slightly wounded and several women and
children were knocked down and a num-
Der were injured.
The entrance to the cclliery was finally
cleared and the rest of the workmen loyal
to the company were allowed to go to
work. Twelve persons were placed under

WRIGHTS ARE ACTIVE IN
GETTING MACHINE READY

Before a motor was installed the ma
chine In gliding dropped one foot for
every eight feet that it advanced, and
the Wrghts had estimated that with the
added weight of the motor and propellers
the drop would be much faster.
Speaking of his speed trial, Oryille said
he was confident that he would make 40
miles an hour over. the 10-rnile cross
country course. AS result of his visit
to the magnetic works, Wilbur Wright
holds the belief that the high voltage
developed jumped the insulation of the
magnetic wires. The insulation, there
fore, is being increased. and it is be-
lieved that no more trouble will be expe-
rienced with the motor. If everything
goes smoothly and the material which Or
Will shipped from Dayton arrives prompt
ly, the Wrights believe they will be ready
to resume the preliminary trials by Fri
day or Saturday.

FOR STATE CONTROL
OF CORPORATIONS

Bristol. Va. July 7-Intense interest is
being manifested throughout the south
in the local option election to be held
here tomorrow. The liquor people are
making a strong effort to get foot
hold here, to supply the adjoining pro-
hibition states and from this vantage
ground they hope to win back lost ter

The temperance forces closed their

today toward the resumption of flights by

Orville also arrived from Dayton, bring

The brothers were In an OPTIMISM
mood today. They appeared to be partic-
ularly enthusiastic about the glide which
Orvlle made on Friday when his motor
stopped In the air. Orville figured that
the flying machine was 65 feet in the
air when the motor sopped, and that the
total distance covered in the glide was
about $50 feet, or drop of one foot for
about each seven feet travelled forward.
