der. Later Caruso was arrested with
Salvatore Scuito, as one of the prin-
cipals In the crime as an actual par
ticipant in the fatal riot.
The arrest of Ettor and Giovapnitti
tanned to a fury the flame of feeling
among the agitated foreigners and con-
ditions were even more dangerous
Threats were made of a general strike,
organizations throughout the country
and in other lands protesting against
the action of the authorities. Ettor
and Giovannitti pleaded not guilty on
January 81, but were held to the grand
jury without bail and locked up in the
Lawrence Jail until February ., when
after hearing, they were held to the
grand jury and later indicted. Tho
strike continued under the leadership
now Of w. D. Haywood until March IA.
when the cause Of the workers was vic.
torious and the strike was officiallv
declared off. The workers gained in
creases in pay ranging from Z to II
per cent and concessions in working
conditions.
Indictment of the strike leaders and
Caruso brought about an organized
worldwide effort to raise a defense
fund and workers from many countries
responded. Threats of a general world
strike in protest against the action
again were made, and since the begin
ming of the trial Lawrence has been
flooded with circulars denouncing the
| agents Of the courts and the conditions
of the case. Threats to storm the jail
have been made and feeling has run
riot up to the very close of the case.
When the trial began a twenty-rour-
hour strike of protest was responded
to by fifty thousand workers in mills
throughout New England.
The case, after several delays, was
actually taken up early in October in
the superior court of Essex county
before Justice Joseph F. Quinn. Eff

who we're most numerous, Poles. Syr.
ians, Lithuanians, Hebrews, Americans
and others.
During the progress of the trouble
Ettor frequently addressed the masses
In churches, halls and on the Lawrence
common. In keeping up the enthusi-
asm thus he was aided by Arturo
Giovannitti, who went to Lawrence
from Brooklyn; William D. Haywood,
the leader Of the Industrial Workers
of the World, and many others promi-
nent In the work of the organization.
For many days the situation in Law.
renee was tense, with outbreaks of
violence constantly agitating the pub
lie mind. On January 20 seven sticks
of dynamite were found by the police
in houses and shops in the Italian quar-.
ter. Suspicion against the strikers
was directed at once and six persons,
Italians and Syrians, were arrested.
Ettor was informed by Colonel f. Le-
roy Sweetser Of his grave responsible
ity in the matter. Ettor Immediately
told the strikers that none of their peo-
pie had anything to do with the dyna-
mite and charged that the mill owners
had planted it to prejudice the cause
of the strikers. Subsequent investiga-
ton resulted In the conviction of a
Lawrence school commissioner for
planting the dynamite. Later business
men and William Mr. Wood, president
of the American Wooden Company
were indicted for conspiracy to plant
dynamite in Lawrence Trial of these
cases is pending. This development
served to intensity the bitterness of
the conflict and Lawrence was at fever
heat.
Conferences to settle the strike had
failed, and on the morning of January
% an organized street parade and DEM
onstration by the strikers occurred. It
was preceded by rioting before sunrise
IN which the street cars were pelted
with chunks of ice and other missiles
and persons forcibly prevented from
going to work in the mills. After the
parade Ettor and sGiovannitti ad
dressed the strikers in Lawrence com
mon, where they are alleged to have
urged the strikers to acts of violence
That evening the streets near the mills
were damned with the idle mill work
ers. Soldiers and police were ordered
to clear the streets. The spirit of the
hour was a dangerous one. The PEG
pie sullenly responded to the orders Of
the police and Kissed them. Many
blocks of ice were thrown at the of
ficers Of the law. Pollcemen's clubs
in retaliation, were welded over the

DISTRIBUTE PAPERS
 FOR THE TEACHERS

Montgomery. April 3.-(speciaI)- F. ". Hodges. secretary to the state board of examiners of the department of education, has been busy during the last day or two sending out examina- ton questions to the various county superintendents of education of the state for the teachers examinations. " hich will begin on Monday, April 15.
 Professor Hodges anticipates that there will be between 2500 and 5000 appli- cants for teachers certificates. the ma jority of whom will try for third grade certificates.
 The greatest secrecy was mainraaed In sending out the questions over the state, as considerable care has to be displayed in order to prevent any pos sible tampering with the examinations. In a few instances tho questions were sent to a special examiner appointed by the board to act for the county su- perintendent, who had informed the department that he would not be able to conduct the examinations

JONES' DECREE IS
 WIDELY DISCUSSED Roads May Change Rates in
 Effect by April 15 ACTS ARE INVALID
Believed if Roads Change Rates State Will Carry Case to the Supreme Court-Believed Only Freight
 Rates Will Be Changed

Montgomery, April 3.-(Special 1.-The probable effect of Federal Judge Thomas c. Jones' decree in the famous rate cases is receiving a large share of discussion by well known men in this city promi- nent in both public and private life. The question that many are asking is: Will the Louisville and Nashville, the South and North and the Nashville, Chattanooga and Nashville. the railroads affected by the decree. put back the old passenger and freight rates? According to Judge Jones' decree the railroads may change the rates now in effect, as authorized by the legis- Iature in 1907, by April 10.
 should the railroads adopt this course it is practically certain that the state viI, carry the case to the United States supreme court for final decision. Should the railroads decide to let the present rates remain in effect the cases will prob nblv be dropped without further litigation, as the state will have achieved the victory for which it has been contending since 1907.
 The general impression seems to prevail that the railroads will decide to let the e1b cent passenger rate remain in enect' and that they will only change the freight rates in few isolated cases. Prominent lawyers and officials declare that this would be the popular course on the part
