man SHOT TWICE
Quarrels Growing Out of Gar
ment Workers Strike.
Renewed i'm Cleveland in Spite
of Extra Police.
In THE FIRST CLASH
A Striker Was Shot and a
PatrOlman knitted.
A Score Of Men and Women Cut
and Bruised.

Cleveland, Ohio. June 10.-A man
whose name is unknown was shot
twice, once just below the heart and
once in the groin, in a quarrel of
striking garment workers at the H.
Black company's plant today. He
may die. Benjamin Aquina, 1903
Orange avenue cloak maker, was ar
rested.
A crowd of pickets is said to have
discouraged Aquina from displaying
gun in his possession. He resisted,
then fled, and at a point near Euclid
avenue and East 23rd street is alleged
to have fired on his pursuers, one
falling. His arrest followed quickly.
The street was crowded.
Fear of a repetition of the distur-
Dances late yesterday when a clash
between striking garment makers
and a squad of policemen resulted in
a striker being shot, patrolmah
knitted ana a score of men and wo-
men cut and bruised caused the police
to take extra precautions today to
of Police Rowe this morning detailed
100 extra patrolmen to the district
picketed by the strikers.
An indication that trouble might
follow took place at the H. Black
companys plant, at which the pick
ets hooted and peered the patrolmen
until the latter retaliated by calling
a patrol wagon and taking half doz-
en- of their tormentors to the central
police station. Among these was Jo-
sephine Casey. of Chicago, who an
nounced herself as a national organi-
zer.
Union officials decry yesterday s
violence and hope there will be no
recurrence today Pleas have been
issued to the pickets to use only or

the list of strikers.

Raids ON Illegal Saloons.

Leavenworth. Kan, June 10.-Car-

o'clock Friday night in the Evergreen
sanitarium of paresis. She entered
the sanitarium here January 22, suf-

1t became evident only several days
ago that Mrs. Nation could not recover
and DR.. A. L. Suwalsky. physician at
the sanitarium, informed her that
she was about to die. She said moth

unconscious at noon Friday and did
not revive. Relatives had been tele-

only DR.. Suwalsky and nurse were at
her bedside when she died.
Worry over law suits, brought by
her against lecture bureau for fail

BRAGG ON STAND.
Boy Accused Of Murder Tells His
Story.
Says Frank WiIkersOn Threat
ened to Kill Him.
MAKES GOOD WITNESS
Charges Defendant Knocked i'm
Down and Kicked Him.
Feared He Had a Gun and Then
Fired Fatal Shots.

Cool. calm and deliberate David
Bragg today told his own story of the
killing of Frank Wilkerson at the Sill
yer Lake dance hall in March. Look
ing the attorneys squarely in the eye
Bragg never once hesitated and under
the cross examination never altered
his former statements.
Time after time the defendant told
the jury of Wilkerson's bulldozing
tactics, his reputation as a bully and
unfa1r fighter in the community.
Ihen he related threat that Wilker-
son made that he would kill him.
After the trouble early in the year,
Bragg testified that he was afraid of
Wilkerson and always avoided meet
ing MIN. At Valencia the boys taunt-
ed him and he came to believe that
he was in constant danger.
Long before the trouble Bragg said
he bought a revolver of a young
man at Dover. He had been attacked
by dog, he said, and was afraid of
dogs and tramps. Then the witness
told of his early boyhood. He was
raised on farm in Texas. When he
was six, his father died. In 1909 he
came to Topeka. He was 19 at the
time. In the entire state he did not
have friend or acquaintance. After
working at the brick plant in Tope-
ka, he went to Valencia, where he

Later he worked at Dover, then for
Robert Wilkerson and Fred Moore.
He told how he had heard Wilkerson
boast in the field of his record as a
fighter. When trouble arose, he said
he feared Wilkerson, but was between
two fires. He must either adjust
the trouble which Wilkerson had
stirred up in the Moore home, or be
subject to whipping at Fred Moore's
hands.

life before this trouble with Wilker-
SOM" was asked.
81 never did,"
Zone day after Christmas did you
have a talk with Moore concerning
something Wilkerson told Moore?"
Between Two Fires.
81 did. Mr.. Moore told me Frank
Moore, and Fred wanted me to
straighten it up"
Look at the jury and say if those
things were true"
'They were not" declared Bragg as
he looked from one juror to the 9TH

"I had forgotten to leave it at home

the house?"
81 did,
What did you tell her."
''That I was scared and thought
Fred was going to whip me-
did you intend to use the revolver
if you got it?'
'I did not"
"What had you heard about Wilker-
son making threats and remarks con-
corning you?"
"I heard that he intended to do me
up and would give me a whipping the
first time he saw me. T. seemed that

WARSHIP FROM CHINA.
En- Route to Mexico to Enforce Claim
for Indemnity.

City of Mexico, June 10.-A war
ship from China is on the way to
the Pacific coast of Mexico to back up
a demand for six million dollars. gold,
indemnity for the slaughter of 303
Chinese by a mob in Torreon a month
ago. An apology for the insult to the
Chinese flag also. is demanded. Three
investigators have returned to the
Chinese legation here. Their report
shows that many of their countrymen
were killed in a most inhuman man
ner. Beside a bank and a clubhouse.
SO business houses were sacked. OF
the six million dollars demanded, one
half million is for the damage to
property.
Wa Ian Poo, of the Chinese 1ega-
ton, who has been Investigating the
Torreon massacre reports 303 Chinese
killed, declares just before the attack
began the Chinese residents were In
structed not to fight, even though the
insurrectos looted their stores. Tor
reon is in the heart of what is known
as the Laguna district and a large
colony of Cinnamon are employed
there in agricultural pursuits.
"All of my countrymen deny that
that bore arms, or that they fired on
the insurrectos,'' said Mr.. Poo.

since then. An attempt to serve her
with summons in a suit recently was
baked by Dr. c.. C. Goddard. owner
of the sanitarium. #a
Mrs. Nation was not permitted even
to read letters addressed to her.
Doctors feared that some hint of. the
pending suits that they might contain
would endanger her health.
The last five months Of her life
in the sanitarium was in contrast
with her former aggressive activity.
The meek little woman submitted pas
sively to the physicians directions.
= Once she saw a physician on the
grounds smoking a cigarette. She
made no remonstrance, merely smiling
and saying that she had done all
was content, she told him, to let 9TH
ers carry on the fight.
Mrs. r. G. Moore, of Kansas City.
Kan, and Mrs. George Shubert, Of Los
Moore, arrived here 80 minutes after
Mrs. Nations death. Mrs. Moore is
sister-in-law and Mrs. Shubert a
niece.
Moore, is to be sent to Kansas City,
Kan, today. Funeral services will be
held there, probably Sunday.
Was Born in Kentucky.
Mrs. Nation was born in Kentucky
in 1876. Her maiden name was Carrie
NlOOIS LII uST early DI6 En0 married
Dr. Gloyd, a man addicted to the use
of intoxicants, which created in her an
intense aversion to the saloon. When
he died from delirium t-emens she de-
termined to devote her life to the sup
preston of the liquor traffic Later in
Missouri she married David Nation, a
lawyer and editor, who. sympathized
with her temperance principles. They
moved to Texas and lived there several
years and then moved to Kansas.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smashing
was done at Kiowa, Kan. She was ar
rested and remained in jail several
days before she was released on bond
for smashing a Wichita hotel bar.
On January Il, 1901, armed with her
favorite weapon, hatchet, Mrs. Ma
tion made another raid in Wichita
This time she smashed two joints.
Jointists Lock Up.
During the next three months Mrs
Nation surprised the jointists in vari-
GUS Kansas towns, appearing un-
heralded and leaving a trail of ruined
bar room fixtures wherever she went
Many Jointists became terror-stricken
when the militant temperance advocate
appeared in their neighborhood and
locked their places and fled before the
faithful hatchet could get into action.
Remarkably few of the saloon men
used violence in resisting Mrs Nation,
although she was assaulted though not
badly hurt while wrecking Joint at
Enterprise, Kan. From Enterprise she
came to Topeka where a, force of wo-
men was organized and she began an
active crusade, DESTROYING the open sa-
looms and smashing the glass fronts
Thus erratic as her life has been,
Mrs. Nation was responsible for the
greatest temperance awakening In
Kansas.

Kansas, became lecturer and the

TWO BIRD MEN Die.
Scherdel Was Trying for New Record
With a Passenger.

Johannesthal, Germany June 10
Herr Schendel, who, on Tuesday, es-
tablished German altitude record of
6,594 feet in an aeroplane, fell yester-
day evening with his mechanic. Voss,
and both were instantly killed. Schen-
del was trying to eclipse the worlds s
altitude record with a passenger.
The aviator, who was practically a
beginner, arose in Dorner monoplane
and had reached a height of $3.50 feet
when the monoplane assumed verti-
cal position. and it is believed that
Schendel was trying to slide to earth
with his motor shut off
So great was the velocity of the fall
that the prov of the machine was
buried in the earth. The bodies of
Schendel and Voss were frightfuily
mangled.
