C41icago.-TLe international officers
of nine different crafts are threat

destruction of valuable records by
clerks prior to going on strike.
Following the riot, agents OF the

Of strikers under the Sherman anti

sought against striking railway clerks
who are charged with destroying way
bills and shipping orders at the Mem
phis and New Orleans offices OF the
company before they went on strike.
Because OF the fear Of further riots
at McComb City, Governor Noel sent
more troops to that city. The strike
breakers at their request were taken
to another city. McComb City is prac-
tically under martial law.
Six strike breakers are now known
to have been seriously hurt. one of
them, named Haines, fatally. In the
riots at McComb City. The strike
breakers were passing through on a
train and 1000 shots were fired into
the cars. Lee Haley, striker. was
also killed by bullet which the police
claim was fired by his friends. About
the time Haley was shot an explosion
occurred near the car shops. This was
followed by a number of shops. The
explosive tore hole in the ground.

Julius Kruttschnitt gave out state
ment that many strikers had returned

new men were also employed. He
said everything was quiet at the vari-
Gus strike centers and that no more
trouble was expected. Ohicials OF the
Illinois Central stated that 40 per cent

that no more men would be hired.

jewelry valued at $4,000. which it
is alleged was given to Mrs. Helen

peared as the principal witness

responsible lay behind the prosecu-
ton.
The jewelry which both men admit
ted to have been smuggled into the

estimated cost of $500. necklace
consisting of five strands of pearls

STEPHENS0N'S CHIEF
TELLS OF BIG EXPENSE
Tells Senate Committee Senatorial
Fight is Conducted on Same Lines

Milwaukee.-The Stephenson cam
paign in Wisconsin was conducted
on the same lines as a presidential
battle. Big sums were paid out for
speakers. meetings, advertising and
organizing without any itemized &C
counts being rendered All services
were paid for in advance and receipts
taken.
p. A. Edmonds, who was chairman
of Senator Stephenson's primary cam
paign committee, and who admitted
spending $107.799 in the primary cam
paign, was the only witness.
Edmonds had promised to go over
the itemized accounts of money ex-
pended and testify as to his personal
knowledge of expenditures. On the
stand he declared he had no way OF
telling exactly for what the money
was paid out. He declared he gave
no attention to the keeping of ac-
counts. Fhat, he said, he left to
Others.
This is the sum of the evidence
given before the United States SEN
ate committee which is seeking light
on charges of corruption made by the
political foes of Senator Stephenson,
who contend that he won his seat in
the senate by bribery.
You were aware that the statutes
required you to enter a strict account
of campaign expenses. and yet you
paid no attention to the subject?"

Rail Commission to Order Automatic

Madison.-At a conference of
railroad officials and the railroad
commission, the former stated that
they were willing to do what they
could to prevent accidents at high
way crossings and would place flag
men or automatic bell alarms and il
Illuminated night signs wherever
they were considered necessary.
There are in Wisconsin about o.
600 crossings on steam roads and
500 on electric roads. But only part
of this number are considered suffi-
GENTLY dangerous to require safety
equipment.
An automatic bell alarm and IL
Illuminated sign at each dangerous
crossing will probably be required
by the commission. Other means,
such as interlocking crossings and
other devices for preventing acct
dents on railroads were discussed at
