READY FOR TROUBLE.

South Bend, Ind, July 25.-Grand
Trunk strike sympathizers early today
were in a mood for more serious
trouble than that which resulted earl
Ter In one man being killed and q
freight train being burned when the
word was passed around that soldiers
were being held in readiness to lead
an attack upon the strikers and their
friends at the first act of violence.
The men had not recovered from
their rage over the death Of one of
their number who was shot by a rail-
road detective when the report came
that troops had been ordered out.
This put them in a more ugly mood
and necessity for a good quick run by
the soldiers was predicted.
Pending the clearing Of clash of
authorities the local company is hold.
ing itself in readiness for action at a
moments notice. Captain Calvert re-
ceived such an order from Governor
Marshall early today despite the as.
surance given the governor by Mayor
Charles L. Goetz that there would be
no further outbreaks. The trouble that
eliminated in the fatal shooting and
death Of L. A. Freed. a car repairer

1t was stoned in the yards and John
Peck Of Battle Creek, the railroad de.
tective fired into the crowd, hitting
Freed. Freed was thought at first to
be only slightly injured. He was TAX.
en- to hospital and the crowd made
no effort to harm Peck who was ar.
rested and locked up. Later when IL
was learned that Freed had died the
crowd became frenzied and it was
necessary to spirit Peck away to avoid
lynching.
All traffic through South Bend is
regarded as totally tied up and off.
cials here have notified Chicago and
Battle Creek. the diyision points not
to send any trains this way. Near
Mishawaka about four miles east OF
South Bend, two passenger trains are
held up, officials fearing to allow them
to enter.
c. A. McNutt, passenger agent who
is in charge of the Grand Trunk Of
fices in South Bend is said to have
had long personal conversation with
Governor Marshall over the long dis
tance phone in an effort to have the
chief executive call out troops to pro
tcct railroad property. He told the
governor. it is said, that the riotine
was continual and he feared even
greater trouble than already exper

WEATHER BRAND.

Washington, D. c., July 25.-A re-
port has gained circulation in Wash
ington that Postmaster General Hitch
cock, who is now in Europe on his
vacation, and incidentally making
some inquiries into the success Of pos
tai savings banks in continental coun-
tries, may retire from the Cabinet
some time in the near future. No one
can be found who will stand as auth
ority for the statement and tho per
sopal friends Of the postmaster gener-
al scout the suggestion. but at the
same time the rumor is abroad and
finds many who have faith In it.
In connection with this sort Of gos-
sip, 1t is said that Mr. Hitchcock. who
is the most diligent worker among the
members of the presidents official
family. is becoming weary Of his task.
and is really attempting to handle too
much as the political manager Of the
affairs OF the administration and In
the fulfillment Of his duties in looking
after Uncle Sans postal matters. Fur
thermore, the assertion Is made that
his influence with the president Is
waning. and that the man who has
succeeded him as leading presidential
adviser is Mr.. Norton the secretary
to the president, for whom Mr.. Taft
has Indicated . great f0ndness, and
who in the short time he has held his
present position u said to have made
good.
