RIOT
FOLLOWS PETTY
BERLIN STRIKE
Police, Assailed With Stones
and Bottles, Cut Down
Many With Sabers

BERLIN, Oct. 29.-Serious rioting
broke out tonight in connection with a
strike of workmen employed by a
butcher. A crowd largely composed of
half grown boys gathered early in the
evening in front of the shop and tried
to prevent any person from making
purchases. They set upon and beat
women.
The crowd grew in dimensions to
thousands, whereupon the police were
called out in large numbers and tried
to disperse the multitude without the
use of weapons. The rioters showered
them with stones and bottles and many
persons threw missiles from the win
dows of adjoining houses.
The police were finally so hard
pressed that they drew their sabers
and drove the crowds before them A
number of the rioters fell from saber
strokes. Most of these were able to
rise and resume their flight. but none
of them had to be transported to the
station The rioting continued until
midnight, when quiet apparently had
been restored.
The disturbances were the outcome
of a petty strike. A certain butcher
refused to pay one of his employees for
time that he was absent, whereupon
the other IA employees struck

Discussion Over Expense
Foreman Max Goldman and Assistant
Attorney E. A. Lane had a discussion
over the question of venue. Goldman
wanted to know why San Francisco

attorneys office convinced the author

effect of the offense was felt in San
Mateo county. Goldman accepted the
explanation.

Pescadero, accepted bribe of 1858 from
Charles Marshall, agent for the H. S.
Crocker company a.warrant was sworn
out in Judge Shortalfs court yesterday
noon, and Detective Harry Braig was
sent after the political dentist.
The dispatch of Braig to the front
was due to the Discrimination of Sheriff
Bob" Chatham of San Mateo county to
arrest Blackburn without a warrant.
Sergeant of Detectives Tom Ryan rang
I'D Sheriff Chatham at Redwood City at
o'clock yesterday. He informed the
San Mateo sheriff that a warrant had
been issued for the arrest of Blackburn
on the charge of accepting a bribe. He
asked Chatham to arrest Blackburn and
hold him for the San Francisco police
'T want to see the warrant first"
answered Chatham.

So Braig was sent to Redwood City
with the warrant. Chatham was to
meet him at the train at Redwood City
and the pair were to drive over the
mountains to Pescadero on the coast
during the night. Blackburn may be
brought to this city after his arrest,
or he may offer bail in San Mateo
county. Bail was fixed in the war

ORDER GRANTED
AGAINST ROADS
United States Prevents Adj
vance in Freight Rates by
Common Carriers

A restraining order was grant
ed on Wednesday, at Hannibal,
Missouri, by Judge Dyer, of the
United States District Court,
against twenty five western rail
roads, to prevent them from ad-
vancing freight rates. The in
junction was certified and the
processes against the defendants
were probated and will be served
in the districts where the rail
roads have their general Offices
Under orders from Attorney
General Wickersham, an expe-
diting certificate providing for
the speedy determination of the
issues involved was filed, and
copies were mailed to Circuit
Judges Hook, Sanborn, Vande-
vanter and Adams.
The railroad officials generally
refused to be quoted concerning
the suit. The action of the gov
ernment, however, came as
great surprise to them.

against u.s., was the first com
ment of E. P. Ripley, president
of the Santa Fe system, when
informed that the government
had enjoined the railroads OF the
Western Traffic Association from
putting into effect the advance
scheduled for June 1. Mr.. Rip
lev's subsequent remarks left no
doubt that the railroads will
fight the government with all
their great resources.
"The shippers who have at
tended meetings to protest
against the advance have no
personal knowledge Of the sub
ject," the Santa Fe president de-
clared. "They have been de-
ceived by the ringleadArs Of the
movement, who have distorted
the facts and have juggled with
the figures If they will take the
trouble to ascertain the truth
which is easily obtainable--the
deception will become appar
