GREATlILAB0R MOVEMENT IS
CAUSEiFOR CALLING OUT
The TROOPS.
Liverpool is Present Scene of Furious
Battles in Streets-Police Unable to
Cope With Glasgow Is In Tur-
moil-Deep Resentment Manifested at
the Employment of Military Force.

London.-Great Britain appears to be
confronted by grave labor movement,
compared with which the London st. ike,
Just ended, would be small affair.
Together with the street battles in
Liverpool of a most furious nature and
serious riots at Glasgow comes the news
of meetings of railway employees at Liv
erpool, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol,
Sheffield and other large cities, at which
threats were made of a general strike
of all railroad men, transport workers
and lockers, unless existing disputes
are settled promptly.
In London itself both railway and
streetcar strikes still threaten. The
men discussed the situation, but have
not taken active measures for going
out. AS in Glasgow, London IS tramway
service is run by the municipality.
A serious feature of the situation is
the deep resentment tn strikers display
at the employment of the military and
of police from other towns The social
list party is doing its utmost to fan this
resentment. At meeting of 1000 rail
road men belonging to the Midland,
Great Central and Metropolitan lines it
was decided tonight to call a general
strike on all the railroads and tubes in
the London district, next Saturday, un-
less grievances were remedied in the
meantime. 1t is rumored that the Lon
don tramway men also have sent an
ultimatum to the county council.
Fight in Liverpool Streets.
Liverpool.-Serious rioting growing
out of the seamen' IS strike took place
Sunday. One policeman, Constable
Cochran, was struck on the head with
brick and killed, and many persons
were injured.
An alteration between policeman
and strikers at a transport worker s
demonstration in st. Georges hall, start
ed the trouble. After this disorder had
been quelled and the strikers scattered
they gathered again in the Islingtor
quarter and resumed their attacks upon
the officers.
One hundred thousand men were gath
cred in groups about st. Georges hall
listening to speeches by labor agitators
and the scenes of violence following the
attack upon the police necessitated call
ing out the reserves. When they arrlv
ed one party of Is policemen was sur
rounded and disarmed, the rioters beat
ing them with their own batons. gu
perintendent of Police Bolton, who was
in command, was badly wounded. H'
was taken to hospital in serious con
dition.
So great was the disorder that TIT
riot act was read and troops were call
ed out to assist the police. The mol
fought desperately with stocks an'
stones. Many policemen and rioter
were injured in the hand-to-hand hight
ing, but the troops and police gradual.
dispersed the crowd.

NEW YORK. August 12.-Word comes
from Paris that Claude Grahame- White.
the English aviator. and Miss Marie
Campbell of this city have announced
their engagement there. Miss Camp
bell made q flight with the aviator
during the Boston meet last September
and also in October at the Belmont
track meeting.
Miss Campbell Is the daughter Of
Mrs william Converse Of Is West 67th

her mother since early in July. Her
stepfather said the reported engage
ment was news to him. He admitted
that Miss Campbell and Grahame-
White had been most intimate since
the meeting on the Boston aviation
field, but declared he had received no
announcement OF any engagement, all
though he had a letter from his wife
yesterday morning.
Grahame- White. soon after his night
with Miss Campbell, took UP Miss Flea

NEW MOSQUITO A MENACE.
Dwarfed Variety Defies Screens and
Fattens on Poison.

CHICAGO. H.. August 12.-Scientists in
and about Chicago are much stirred up
over the discovery OF new variety OF
mosquito, which threatens the health Of
the city. because 1t defies poison and
screen. The newly discovered pest is SO
much smaller than the ordinary variety
that scientists believe it has been dwarf
ing itself for generations to thwart the
efforts Of humanity to starve 1t out by the
use of screens.
Prof. William j. Gerhard of the Field
Museum has been conducting research
work for several weeks. With the re-
suits of his investigation at hand the
Chicago University will take up the
work. and an effort will be made to get
financial aid for the work of ridding the
country of the pest.
In several suburbs the new mosquito is
held accountable for much illpess. Subur-
banites have used citronella, pennyroyal
and other "eradicators," but their use
has been ineffective.

Style in Hanging Out Clothes.

From the New York Sun.
THE pulley lines do look tenementy.
said Mrs. Flatdwsller. but they cer-
tainly are convenient. All you have to
do is to lean out Of the window and pin
on your things to air or to dry, and there
you have them all safe right under your
eye.
you have to take the things up in the ell
evator or carry them up to hang them
out. and then you have to keep running
up there all the time to see that they
haven't blown away or that somebody
hasn't stolen them.
But OF course 1t wouldn't do for US to
have pulley lines In this house: they'd be
too tenementy, and SO In hanging out
our clothes we do just as We do in 80
many other things. we sacrifice comfort
for style
