FIGHTING GOES ON
Strikers i'm Budapest Continue
to Battle With Soldiers.
Six Killed and 100 Wounded
Up to This Time.

Budapest. May 24.-Fferce fighting
has been renewed in the streets of this
city today between the strikers and the
police who are aided by a large force
of troops.
A big mob of men disobeyed their
leaders orders to return to work and
began the wrecking tactics INDUCED
in yesterday.
The Infatuated men first overturned
a number of street cars then demol-
ished display windows of stores on the
principal streets. They then made a
fierce attack on the Calvary church
afterwards proceeding to Neuschloss.
where they set fire to factory, feeding
the flames with petroleum. The rioters
beat off the firenen.
Troops put in an appearance and
this was the signal for several volleys
the soldiers replied with volleys from
their rifles Rioters and troops suf-
fered heavily. Al one factory a lively
battle occurred between strikers and
nonstrikers. Reviewers were used free
ly and many were wounded.
Last night rioting continued until
after midnight when the strikers made
q determined attempt to break into the
residence of Count Tisza, the speaker
of the lower house and fired a numbe
of revolver shots but were finally
driven off by strong detachments of
police.
About $4,000 men. representing half
of the factory hands in the city, took
part in the disturbances, marching
through the streets and attacking men
who were at work. When they We're
refused permission to hold a meeting
outside the parliament buildings. they
became violent, destroying property of
all kinds.
The amended list of casualties dur
ing yesterdays fighting, shows that
six We're killed and $50 wounded, 100
of them seriously.
The police made upwards of 200 ar
rests.
The fighting was conducted with the
greatest bitterness, crowds of men
rushing at the soldiers and endeavor-
ing to tear the bayonets from the muz-
zles of the rifles.

Edison Won a victory which cost him
several years labor and the invest
ment OF all of his available capital, the
lncandescent light represented about a
Die and marketable. Since that time,
this wealth has been very greatly in
creased.
A Little Invention.
1t was the discovery of the men Of
science of the adaptability of the pneu-
matte principle to rubber tires which
led to the great development of the
bicycle About ten years ago successful
demonstration was made of the adapta-
D1l1ty OF the pneumatic principle to rub
Der tires with which self-driven cars
could be operated That demonstration,
together with the utilization of gasoline
or internal combustion engines, made
the automobile commercially practical
bic. This was only a little over ten
years ago, and it is within the past
five or six years that the stupendous
creation of new wealth through the
manufacture of automobiles has taken
place. The two manufacturers at Ak
ron, Ohio. which formerly manufacture
ed pneumatic tires for bicycles began
the manufacture of rubber tires for
automobiles. In business circles in this
city 1T is the understanding that no
American apparatus has so quickly
reached such vast proportions as has
the manufacture of the rubber tires
for automobiles. OF course, these tires
are only one factor among many which
have made the modern perfect auto
mobile possible. but it is a vital factor.
The merged corporation, it is under
stood, expects to be occupied in the
course of a few years almost as extern
sively in the manufacture of rubber
lied cloth, which is utilized for FLYING
machines and for dirigible balloons.
That is an Incidental development Of
the business which began only a year
or two ago. If two manufacturers oc-
cupfed chiefly with the making of rub
Der tires, consolidate with a capitaliza-
ton of ninety millions what must be
the actually invested wealth in the en-
tire business of manufacture of rubber
tires in the United States?

apply to this case, for I have learned
from very dependable sources on the

brewers conference. It will all die out

FRANCE ABOUT TO
NAME PRESIDENT
FACT AROUSES LITTLE INTEREST
BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE
LITTLE TO SAY.

Paris, Dec. 1T is the eve of a
presidential election in France, and yet
one seldom hears the fact mentioned
unless he frequents the lobbies of the
Senate and the Chamber of Deputies
Even in the halls of legislation there
is nothing like tho intense interest to
be found in every hamlet of the Unit
ed States preceding the choice Of n
chief magistrate.
This is due largely TO the fact that
the president is chosen not by popular
vote. but by the National Assembly,
ana that his powers. though large, are
by no means so great as those of the
President of the United States while
his influence on legislation and on
public opinion generally is much less.
There is no campaign in the Ameri-
can sense no primaries, no platforms
and no popular discussions. The wish
of the people so far as it finds occa-
sional expression is that the president
shall be a safe man, without daring
ambition or liking for the dramatic
ana adventurous. France treats its
president fairly well. His residence in
Paris is the Elysec Palace and in the
country the beautiful chateau of RAM
bouillet. He receives a salary OF
$4,000 a year, and in addition an
equal sum is allowed him for expenses
OF entertaining. He assumes office q
month after his election.
Distinguished Candidates.
The members of the Senate and of
the Chamber of Deputies, meeting to-
gether as the National Assembly at
Versailles on January H. Will choose
successor to President Fallieres. The
foremost candidate is Paul Deschanel,
president of the Chamber and one OF
its bright lights tor twenty eight
years. He is 80 years of age, and his
family has great wealth. In a sense,
the leader of each parliamentary group
is a candidate, though neither party
lines nor combinations or factions de-
termtne the choice. A notable candi-
date from the Senate is AleXandrc Ri
bot, three times premier and a man
held i'm high esteem. His wife was
Miss Mary Burch Of Chicago and she
has assisted him much in his public
career. NJ. Ribot is nearly II. Other
candidates are the president of the
Senate. NJ Dubost, Leon Bourgeois, Nj.
Delcasse. Premier Poincare and Paul
Doumcr. The lattcrs program is 10
save France from materialism and
commercialism.
NJ. Fallieres, in preparing for his re-
tirement. has engaged an apartment
near the American embassy. He will
devote his time between Paris and his
little vineyard Loupillon in southern
France, where he producers 600 casks
of wine yearly.
