WOMEN LEAD RIOTERS
IN FURNITURE STRIKE
Two Strikers Are Arrested al I'm
perial Plant For Disturbance
Manufacturers Hold Meeting.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April 81
The third day OF the strike witnessed
many non-union men who had con-
tinued at work in the furniture fac
tories quitting their work and joining
the ranks OF the striking union work
ers.
Rioting, melted by women in some
instances, is featuring the strike and
street cars, carrying non-union work
ers have been stoned.
More factories closed today and 9TH
ers which have been trying to run
short-handed are further embarrassed
by additional assertions by the work
ers.
A riot occurred at the Imperial
Furniture company's plant and two
strikers were arrested. At the Gum
plant strikers dragged the fireman
from the engine room and severely
beat him.
This afternoon the citizens inquiry
commission holds a session. No at
tempt will be made at arbitration.
Bishop Joseph Schrembs, member OF
the commission who fought for arbi-
tration will tender his resignation be-
lieying that the commission has ac-
complished all IL can.
Great apprehension prevails in the
police department lest the more not
headed strikers attempt to fire some
OF the big furniture plants tonight.
The manufacturers are holding a Sc
cret session this afternoon to devise
plans to cope with strike conditions.

MAN WHO
SHOT MATTHEWS
KILLED BYPOssE
ID. K. De Hartier Returns To Amer
lean Side From Canadian Shore
and Opens Fire When Ordered
To Surrender.
Officers Riddle His Body With
Bullets-Under-Sher Is Ex-
pected To Recover.

MT. CLEMENS. Mich, April 2l.-
ID. h. DeHartier. the fisherman who
shot Under Sheriff Matthews, in the
head yesterday afternoon. was sho:
to death by the posse near the Pointe
Huron boat house, today.
He returned to the American side
in the darkness early today, and, when
ordered by the posse TO surrender
later In the morning, opened fire. Tho
posse then riddled his body with bull
lets.
DeHartier had been hugging the
Canadian shore, In Mitchell bay, when
darkness fell last night. He had n
decided advantage over his pursuers,
because they were in launches and
1t was impossible for them to go far
enough TO run down their man.
In some mysterious manner, De-
Hartier made his way back TO the
American side early this morning.
He was overtaken near the Pointe
Huron clubhouse by the posse, which
consisted OF Sheriff Harris and six
others. DeHartier, still armed with
revolver and shotgun, was sullen and
determined that he would not give
himself up without fight.
He opened fire when the officers
demanded his surrender, and the
posse returned the shots. The de-
fiant man fell dead, riddled with bull
lets, and his body was taken to the
house of a fisherman.
UnderSheriff Matthews is resting
easily in ST. Joseph's hospital and un-
less complications set in his recovery
is expected The physicians are watch
ing the case closely TO see whether
an operation Is imperative.

points OF first-basing. considered as an
art. Hughie did IL himself, when his
arm lost his cunning. and prolonged
his days as an active big. Lacquer FOR
three seasons thereby. First base,
Hughie insists, is the cinch position
OF the national pastime.
On Saturday Hughie put his theory
10 another test. sending Delahanty
to first as a sequence of his assign
-mGnt.-of-O o -saEy -to-ss eaRd-base---
Everybody knew that Charlie WAS
capable at the keystone sack and
there was never any doubt over mrs
performance Delahanty, however,
had never played first base in his life
in a big-league game. He didn't even
have the advantage OF a moments
practice at the position before the
brief trial which preceded Saturdays
game He borrowed init, however,
grinned at his mates as he got his
bearings and then proceeded TO dem
oustrate that Hughes confidence
was not misplaced. The switch from
second 10 first he made with the same
facility as that which characterized
his change several seasons ago from
third TO second. He pulled of two
scintillatlng plays-one each day
and took all readable throws in per
feet style. He showed on one occa-
sion that he still has something TO
learn about the art of smothering low
throws but this will undoubtedly come
to him in the long series of games
ahead before the time that Galnor
will resume his position. AT present.
that date looks TO be somewhere near
July 4.
Delahanty is much better bats
man than Ness and the versatility
with which he made the switch, BODIES

Speaking OF frst-Dasemen callS
forth reference to the fact that, dur
ing the series here, Manager Bobby
Wallace OF the Browns. tuAed one
loose on the Tigers, which simply
stopped everybody in blank amaze,
ment On Saturday he came here
with one Rowan. of whom few ever
heard. Even his mates didn't know
how he happened TO be in the party,
whence he came or why.
Modestly Mr.. Rowan walked out 70

the two days that ensued TO grab ev.
erything I'm sight. and with n dash

At the bat he amassed total OF
six hits in the two days, of which one
was three-sacker, with the bases
full.
Frantic inquiries came in from ST.

Mr.. Rowan's light has heretofore

He has first.based quite some sea

he managed 10 lead the league bat.ers
and was drafted by the Chicago

Peoria after training trip trial.
He became part-owner OF the
Peoria club and this spring didn't like
the looks of his investment, SO he
traded his release for the stock he
held and joined the Browns on trial,
certain OF making good. There was
a yawning chasm at first base and
Wallace chucked him in. On his form
of the first two days in the big league,
Rowan looks like the best firstbase-
man the Browns have ever had.
Rowan is a left-handed thrower and
has the entire infield at his easy
range. He fields in a snappy way,
has the swings of experience and hits
