Today hundreds Of ponies were
brought UP from the mines, some of
them getting their first glimpse OF
daylight in fifteen years. Many of
the animals had become blinded while
others seemed terrified by the light
of the outside world.
Wholesale houses have been hard
hit by the strike. Many Of them call

goods pending settlement Of the
strike.

that $500 trains have been discontinu

Thompson BIackiacked.

WRENCE, Mass. March 4-What
the strikers claim was an attempt to
kill James P. Thompson, general or
ganizer of the Industrial Workers of
the World, and one of the strike lead
ers, was made early today. Thompson
was attacked in his room in local ho-
tel and his head cut open by blows
from blackjack. He also declared
one of his assailants shot at him, the
bullet tearing his night shirt. The al
legged assailants fled
After an investigation the police
were inclined to the belief that the
attack on Thompson was a result of 3
quarrel with men whom Thompson
had known for some time. Thompson
flatly denied that he had ever seer
his assailants before.

Mutiny Continues In Some Parts Of
China and Foreigners Are Bar
ricaded in Their
Homes.
5000 SOLDIERS ON GUARD
PekIn is Quiet for the Present But
Tlentsin Streets Are Litter
ed With Many
corpsea.


UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
TIENTSIN, March 4.-Fearing that
the mutiny would take on an anti
foreign character, residents of the for
efgn quarter today barricaded their
houses and prepared for a siege.
Armed civilians patrolled the streets
and no natives were permitted to en-
ter.
News that 5000 Japanese troops had
been ordered here has had bad ef
feet on the Chinese, who believe that
intervention is imminent and are de-
termined to secure all the loot possible
while the city is in their power.
Drunken Chinese soldiers continued
to despoil the native quarter today.
They kept UP a constant fire to In
timidate the residents and looted and
burned scores of residences and stores.
A large number of mutineers from
Pel1in were expected here today On
commandeered trains. Indications
were that they would find little booty
unless they succeeded in routing the
1900 foreign soldiers and invaded the
section inhabited by whites.
Fires were raging in twenty differ
ent places this afternoon Every
native defending his property was
shot. The number Of dead cannot be
estimated. but corpses litter the
streets in the business section. Only
one foreigner is known to have beer
! killed-Dr. Schreeter, German sub
rect, who tentured into the --rrsetti 4
town to warn some of his countrymer
! whom he believed to be in danger.
Pekin is Peaceful.
/ PEKIN, March 4.-The city was
comparatively calm today as the re
suit of the presence of 1000 foreign
soldiers. Nearly all of the fires had
been extinguished or had burned out
and little looting was reported The
mutineers seem to have been awe6
by the arrival Of more foreign troops
and the announcement that four Brit
| ish regiments are on their way here
from Hong Kong.
The authorities claim that nearly al
of the mutineers who have not lef
the city with their loot, are beint
horded in the barracks. Scores o
suspects were summarily executed to
day, but it was noticeable that few o
the victims were soldiers.
| A report was circulated that tn,
actual mutineers had been promiset
immunity IL they would not attemp
any more outbreaks.

Others are closed; and very often besides being closed, there is a bridge or crosspiece joining the two sides When this is the case the bridge is constructed like the rest of the shoe, inclosing tarred rope. There are usually eight nail holes in each shoe; and in order to strengthen the bottom, and especially to make the nail holes more secure, the walls of the groove are sometimes reinforced by braces.
