POLICE RIDE DOWN MOB AND
 INJURE 40 PERSONS IN RIOT

would not patronize the cars
 Today's rioting began with an at tack on a car at Kensington and Le- high avenue, where a mob. using window in the car. The vehicle. man. ned by four policemen, protecting the crew, carried no passengers. The po- lice charged the crowd which dispers- ed without further trouble.
 Two passengers were sent to the Episcopal Hospital as the result of an attack on a car at Cambria and 1000 after breaking all the windows of the vehicle, tearing away the iron gates, attacked the passengers and crew. Motorman. conductor and pas sengers were dragged to the street and beaten. The mob was not dispersed until riot call had been sent to the city hall which brought reinforce n1ents.
 The police are coming in for severe criticism because of the fact that on the Lancaster avenue division. policemen are running the cars with the non-union motormen hidden in the doorway of the cars telling them how to do it.
 "The company is licked" declared C. O. Pratt, representatives of the Union today. '"That is the only way that the calling out of 5000 special police men who have been sworn in by the Mayor, can be explained. If Reyburn really wants to preserve order, we will tender him all Of our union men and they will preserve order.'
 s. No attempt was made to operate Fears during the night. All were got ten into the barns at dusk. It is stated that for the present at least the com pany will make no attempt to keep it's lines open after dark.
 AS an evidence of the fury of yester- days rioting. 1t is stated by the com- pany that 297 of it's cars were damaged and many will have to be rebuilt be- fore they can be restored to service. number of strike-breakers were brought in from other cities today and escorted to the carbarnS by detach- ments of police who carried their re- volvers in plain sight. This precaution prevented any organized attack on the men although a number were struck by bricks and stones.
 The big danger is of a general strike. The local Federation Union has inti- mated, that, if it is shown that a gen. eral strike of all men will aid the workers in winning their fight, it will be ordered If called, it will precipi- tate the most bitter labor struggle since the great strike of 1877.
 There seems to be little chance of any sudden termination of this strike. Ever since the last strike was "conn- promised through the forcing by the political leaders of an agreement on both sides that was satisfactory to no one, the company has been preparing for another clash with the unions and they were better prepared than were the men when Saturdays action came.
 Officials declare today they will spend every dollar in the company's treasury before they will give in on any point to the men. On the other hand the union men declare they will keep the company from running it's lines until it agrees to do business only with the Amalgamated Association men and pay the union scale.
 During last nights rioting 20 police men and over 50 citizens were injured. Over hundred arrests were made

 Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-The attempt ed lynching of motorman by mob in Kensington, shortly after noon to- day, resulted in the injuring of 40 riot CTS by police, who rode down. the mob in answer to two riot calls.
 Sympathizers, angered by the inn portation of ike-breekers, attacked caS at the corner of Kensington ave- nue and D Street, dragged the motor man and conductor from their posts. pulled the four policemen from the car and while a number held the officers, others ran the motorman to a lamp post, threw a rope around his neck and were on the point of lynching him when he was rescued by Mounted Po- lice Lieutenant Sykes.
 Beaten until he was hardly able to stand, the motorman pleaded piteous- ly with the mob to spare his life. Sykes in answer to the first riot call, came dashing around the corner, charging his horse directly into the crowd and swept it back.
 Grabbing the mOtorman as he swept by, he dragged him several hundred feet with a clutch on his coat collar and then hurled him safely into a cigar store. The motorman was seri- ousIy injured and taken to the hospital.
 The crowd then attacked the conduc tor dragged him to the sidewalk, and trampled him into inconsistencies.
 The rioters then wrecked the car. By this time the second riot call had been sounded and the reserves swoop- ed down on the mob, wound ing 40 of them, three of then, it is said seriously. Twenty arrests were made.
 Realizing the futility of attempting to run cars through this section of the city, the transit company has ordered all cars running from the Frankford barns off the streets. Few passengers will ride in them and almost every car leaving the barn so far today has been wrecked.

in legislation.
 Tn my opinion and in the opinion of amy advisors the House of Com mons should be so constituted as to exercise impartially it's functions as to legislation and revision.''
 impartiality of the Lords was gener- isting system renders undue partiality in the upper body available. The suggestion that the Commons should be supreme in matters of finance is a practical guarantee that the veto bill will receive the Kings earnest support though it has not lessened the demand of the Nationalists and Laborites that it be taken up before the budget.
 That the administration will keep up it's big naval program was clearly in dicated by the Kings reference to the budget for the present fiscal year which he said carried increased naval expenditures. The naval program is said to include six or eight Dread naughts for tbis year.
 The King explained that the holding up of the last budoet necessitated bor- rowing creating a situation that de- manded immediate legislative atten- tion. As a whole the Kings speech was disappointment. especially as one of the greatest audiences that ever gathered in the House of Lords cham Der was present and was anticipating some stirring deliverances on the Kings part.
 The King was in better voice than usual and his reading of the speech was plainly heard to the farthest cor ners of the chamber.

Unions Offer to Preserve Officials Declare They Will Spend Every Doll ar of Company's Money Be- fore They Will Yield te Men - Sporadic Rioting Continues

Earlier in the day the police had to use their clubs on a crowd which at lacked two cars at Kensington avenue and Huntington street. Although both vehicles were filled with police men they were stoned from the side- walk and from the roofs of houses, un- til the cars were forced to stop. Cars were being run at more frequent in- tervals in this section but carry few passengers.
 Drivers of wagons are aiding the rioters in obstructing the tracks
 During the noon hour workmen of the Baldwin Locomotive Works at tackled numerous cars on the 18th St. line with bolts and bricks torn from the pavement. Many of the cars con- tained women. Po1icemenDMith drawn revolvers drove off the mob.
 Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-With every member of the police on duty, and the regulars augmented by specially picked men sworn in for the purpose, this city is today practically in state of siege. Following the bloody rioting of yesterday, street fighting was re- stunned when the street car company, whose employees are on strike. at tempted to run it's cars today. Be- cause most workmen were forced to resume their regular employment to- day, the rioting was not of so severe a character as yesterday and the po- lice managed to break up what little fighting was done.
 A drizzling rain carried through the streets by a brisk wind, made pedes- trianism difficult and unpleasant. Ve- hicles of all descriptions are Transports ing persons to and from their work, and team owners are reaping har- vest, but are unable to take care of more than an infinitely small part of the regular traffic.
 In the Kensington district, where the worst of yesterdays rioting took place. many workers are idle today. This section is inhabited mostly by the working people and those who work at distance remained at home rather than walk and, as they are absolutely in sympathy with the strikers, they

FUEL OIL is BEST

According TO a dispatch from Wash
ington, the tests to compare the Off
cheney of oil fue, and coal for naval
vessel. which have been completed
az the Puget Sound navy yard. show
every material advantage for oil fuel
all along the line OF, evaporates near
~ twice as much water at a given
temperature. is more economical. and
In other respects is found more ad-
vantagcous than coal These advant-
ages of oil over coal for use aboard
ship. axe highly gratifying TO the navy
department. which has received a full
report Of the Puget Sound tests.
The tests were made at the power
house az Puget Sound. The central
power plant was used, and il was
evaporated to the pound OF fuel oil.
as compared to nine pounds of water
40 the pound of coal. The iuel oil was
shown 10 have so per cent of eyapo-
rating efficiency. The cost of evapo-
rating 1000 pounds of water by oil
fuel was 2 IL cents. and by using
coal. 1856 cents.
The importance of the foregoing fig
ures can be realized when It is known
that the efficiency of fuel depends on
the units of water it will eyaporate at
a given temperature. The advantage
Of oil over coal is so decisively dem
onstrated that further tests will be
unnecessary. Oil instead OF coa, will be
used in the power plant.
In commenting on the tests at Pu-
get Sound naval authorities said that
the tests showed clearly thai oil had
advantages which were not fully APP
preciated, and that in the near future
other important advantages for oil fuel
would doubtless develop.
BY its position as an OIL producing
country. the United States. it is pointed
out by the naval officers, can produce
more oil than the other leading pow
ers. and thereby holds an advantage
which cannot be overcome.
