Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-The third
death as the result of the conflict
between the police and strike
synnpathizers occurred today when
John Hough, IS years old, died in
the Samaritan hospital.
A policeman who was protecting
the motorman in the operation of
a car as it was passing North
Germantown avenue, at West
Moreland street, saw boys throw
ing stones at the car. The police
man opened fire on them and
bullet struck Houah in the neck.
One hundred and fifty n1ilitiamen
OF the state fencibles, after their
trying experience at Germantown
and Lehigh avenues yesterday,
spent the night in the traction
connpany's barn at Eighth and
Dauphin streets, where the transit
conpany's principal offices are
situated.
1t has not yet been decided what
further duty the youthful soldiers
will perform.
with the exception that much
less disorder was reported, the
street car strike situation in Phil
adelphis has undergone little
change since yesterday. Under
heavy police protection The Phila-
delphia Rapid Transfer Co. is OPP
srating q limited number ofsears on
all its lines running to taa caater
of the city. The service Is uncer-
tain and the public is not patroriz-
ing the cars TO nyfextent for fear
Of injury from bricks or q bullet.
Up to this time there has been
no effort made to bring about a
peaoeful settlement Of the strike.
The company today declared it
does not seek a settlement through
outside persons and Is determined
to end the trouble with the union in
the company's own way.
There was little talk of a gener-
aIiahor strike and such q radical
move is not looked for at present.
Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-TEus far
the rioters have made several riots
on cars. Dynamite was used last
night in a car barn in the north
west section where fifteen police
men were asleep. No one was in
iured.

Good and sufficient reasons a-plenty
have developed during the week to
discourage and make blue the public
spirited citizens who promoted the
aviation meet without them being sub
jected to adverse and unjust criticism
on the part of unthinking people. And
it is really surprising the amount of
this criticism, and the character of
it, which is being banded about on
the streets.
law, the whole thing was a fake"
ut was just another scheme to skin
the people out of their money" "They
promised to have two aviators and
two machines here, and they only had
one." These and equally sense1ess
statements of similar purport are fall
ing from many lips concerning the
three days flying of aeroplanes in this
city, the arrangements for which were
made at great expense.
If dozen aviators had been here
with three machines each, the
chances are there would not have been
any more flights, or attempted flights
than there have been to date. During
almost the entire week the weather
conditions have been such that the
flying of aeroplanes has been out of
the question. Two aviators were here
with two aeroplanes, but because one
of them, Willard, got angry for no
real cause, and broke his contract and
left the city, that is something which
cannot be charged up against the pro-
motors of the affair.
They have certainly done all that
humans could do to make this event
a big success. Instead of being crit
icized because it was more or less of
a failure and not brought off accord
ing to schedule and all the promises
made, they should be complimented
