the complete wrecking of eleven
street cars and the shattering Of the
windows in over 100 more.
For two hours mob Of several
thousand persons surged back and

The disorderly scenes followed

was claimed that the cars were fot
adapted to that kind OF service.
Protests in writing and by pcrspnI
appeal became SO numerous That
Mayor Geary and the board ~ CON
troll decided to call a mass i1eeting ~
which the matter could be discussed
Rep -cscntatives Of the street railway
also were invited to attend.
The meeting resolved tscls into
series oe fiery denunciations Of The
street car company and shortly before
II o'clock broke up in disorder The
became mob. The first
street car that hove i'm sight was stop
ped and was reduced to scrap heap.
Car after car WAS attacked by the
mob, which grew in numbers every
moment
Protests by Mayor Geary and other
officials passed unheeded. Police re-

outnumbered fifty TO one and were
utterly powerless For over an hour
the carnival of destruction continued
unchecked
Traffic of all kinds on King and

THE DAY IN CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. Interest in
congress today centered in the report
ing to both houses of the findings OF
the Ballinger- -Pinchot investigating
committee.
Three reports were filed-a major
itv report, clearing the secretary of
an charges, a minority finding against
him and an individual report by Rep
resentative Madison. insurgent repub-
lican of Kansas, also condemnatory.
The senate ordered $4,000 copies or
the reports printed.
The result Of the committees work
probably will prove TO be negligible,
for the report leaves the question just
where It was when II started and there
is said to be trouble ahead If vote
is called for to determine which report
shall be adopted.
In the house the day was occupied
in considering bills on the calendar.
The indian appropriation, the first OF
the big supply measures was intro
duced 1t carried SS,l60,S95.

press and the advice from old demo-
cratic leaders in Arizona, as we'll as
that of Senator Bailey Of Texas, VINO
advocated the exclusion of all "debat-
able provisions in order to assure

Three separate efforts were made
to prevent the recall of the judiciary
from being written into the consti-

Before the final vote was taken
Delegate Tuthill, democrat read an
excerpt from President Taft's message
to congress, relating to the independ-

the query:

A rainy November day in New York,

pursued the usual routine, saving the

their various gaudy bats for the un-
