Tien Tsin the Scene OF Violent Outbreak,
Saturday Night-=Rioters Loot Banks and
The Mint==Situation in Pekin More
Quiet==Foreign Troops Arrive.
RiOTlNG AT TEN TSlN.

Tien Tsin, March S.-Rioting of a
SERIOUS nature occurred here, last
night. The outbreak had been feared
and precautions We're taken as far as
1t was possible to protect the residents
from harm. Between and 10 o'clock
ia the evening the soldiers lnutined.
They set fire to a number of buildings,
and then began looting from house to
house. They were joined by the rab-
lie. The shops and banks in all the
important streets Were sacked. and
some of them We're wrecked.
To intimidate the populaee the SOL
ders kept up continual gun fire. The
rattle Of musketry could be heard
throughout the night. Only a few OF
the police remained loyal, and they
were greatly outnumbered and power
less to suppress the disorders.
No fewer than Il fires were raging
simultaneously in various parts of the
city. The soldiers broke into the Peiy-
ang mint, which was set on fire. Ma
chinery to the value of many thou
sands of dollars was destroyed. The
looters entered the silver stores after
wrenehing off the iron shutters and
even made holes in the walls. The mint
was literally robbed of everything
portable and the ground was strewn
with empty cartridge clips and cases.
The German consul dispatched a
guard to protect the German residents
in the city, composed chiefly OF the en-
gineering staff of the Tien Tsin- Fu-
kow Railway. A German doctor,
Schreoter by name, who entered the
city and was trying to assist German
friends, was shot dead by looting sol
diers. Foreigners, generally, however,
were not molested.
was sent to the British station at mid
night, to protect the railway property.
The damage alrea 1y done cannot be es-
timated at present. The city was quiet,
this morning, although hundreds of carts
laden with household belongings and loot
were leaving for other parts. Further
disturbances are anticipated.

Between Government and
Country's Business Men
Desired by Pres. Taft Suggests
National Board Of Trade
Which Would Bring All Interested
Into Closer Relations.

Washington, March 3.-President
Taft has taken the initiative in a
movement to bring business men of
the country into touch with the gov
eminent for advice and counsel in the
administration of laws, the enactment
of new statutes and the development
of commerce.
Virtually, the President proposes a
National Board of Trade broadly rep
rescntatiye of the commercial and in
dustrial organization and of such
character as the government may
properly recognize by a charter from
Congress.
As one of the first steps in this plan.
Secretary Nsgel of the department OF
commerce afd labor, has, by direction
of the President. called convention
of delegated from commercial organi-
cations in $ll parts of the country to
meet in Washington, on April 10, TO
discuss and TO plan the organization
Invitations already have been sent to
1000 local Chambers of Commerce,
Boards of Trade and other commercial
bodies. Responses to the announce
ments of the tentative plan have been
such that President Taft is convinced
the tune is ripe for putting the pro-
posal To the test of practical expert
ment.
The President first recommended
such plan in message to Congress.
last December. In that message he
suggested that officials of the depart
ment of commerce and labor and mem
bers of appropriate congressional
committees might be made members,
ex-officio, of such an association In
Il statement made public, today, Pres
ident Taft outlines the purposes of
such body He says in part:
1t appears to me to be obvious
that such an organization must be in
strumental in a very large field to aid
and assist the executive and legisla-
tive branches of government in the
intelligent and impartial development
of domestic and foreign trade. For IL

whole responsibility of administration
The delegates rec 1mInend a combination
of the best northern md southern troops
and the establishments of a great pub
lie police, with headquarters al Pekin.
For the present the south is orderly and
the soldiers are practically confined to
barracks Tonight, the gendarmeries are
policing the city. An occasional shot IS
heard, but the fires have been extin-
gusihed. AS the railway between Pekin
and Tien Tsin is again open, the 200
American troops of the 18th Infantry
under Maj. James NJ. Arrowsmith, ar
rived here, roday. The Americans left
Tien Tsin, last Light. and came through
without incident, although they had
placed Maxim gun on a fiat car in
front of the engine in case it might be
needed. The fact that a company of the
Somerset Infantry at Feng-Ta deployed
for the purpose of driving back the mu-
tinous regiment from the railway Is ac-
cepted here as evidence that the for
eign powers interviewed so far as it is
necessary to keep up communication
along the railway from Pekin to the sea
The loyal regiments are now being
dispatched to the south by train for

and preventing the Pao- Ting Flu mu-
tineers from approaching the capital.
The Roman Catholic mission at Pao-
TingF'u which was in the heart of
the town, may have caught fire from
the Chinese buildings which We're
burned in that section. but the Ameri-
can compounds are both beyond the
city walls, and are surrounded by their
own walls. Therefore, they are con-
sidered not to have been endangered.
Many women and children. in the be-
lief that peace had been re-establish-
ed by the abdication of the throne,
had returned to the missions. The
Pao- Ting-Fu district was severely
punished after the Boxer rising in
1900 and it is not likely to have for
gotten the lession. The general opin-
ion is that the mutineers would hest
tate long before harming the foreign
ers resident there.
This afternoon attachments of from
so to $50 each of the legation guards
marched around the city as a show
of force. They took the broad main
roads, on which there are many pic
turesque arches. Curious throngS
watched the foreign forces which at
tracted more attention than the head

occasionally, still unburied as a warn

headed the parade. and the Russians
brought up the rear, the order of pre-
cedence being arranged alphabetically.

dent of the privy council, is reported

and remain until after the time of
beginning operations at the factories,
at 6.45.
Should conditions remain as quiet
as during the past week, it is prob
able that four companies of the 9th
. Regiment, which have been doing pa
troll duty, will be relieved, Tuesday,
from further work. Any trouble. to-
morrow, however, would result, prob
ably, in the battalion remaining for a
further period of time.
Mill agents believe that tomorrow
will bring greater addition to the
ranks of the workers in the mills
than any previous Monday since the
strike began, nearly eight weeks ago
Many of those on strike may wait,
however, until Tuesday or Wednes-
day, before returning to their places
in the factories in order to avoid the
anticipated disturbances of Monday
II was with this possibility in mind
that the mill owners in their notices
announcing an increase of pay in
formed their employees that they would
give them until Wednesday to go
back to their former positions.
Resolutions denouncing John Golden,
international president of the United
Textile Workers, were passed by the
general strike committee of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, this
afternoon. The resolution also con-
dennis the action of the Central La
Dor Union, saying:
I'VE denounce those so colled craft
unions who say they will return to
work, tomorrow, to break the strike
on you who have no craft union, and
we extend this to the unions and
union men who have remained in the
mills"
Leader William d. Haywood of the
Industrial Workers asked the strikers

Says United States Dis
trict Attorney French.
The Count Sustained Against
United Shoe Machinery Co.
Contains Everything important In
The Counts Set Aside.

New York, March 3.-The govern
ment has suffered no serious setback,
indeed. no setback at all, in its prose-
cution of the United Shoe Machinery
Co, under the Sherman law by rea-
son of the rejection of four of the five
counts in the two indictments against
officials of the company, according to
United States District Attorney A. Z.
French of Boston, who is prosecuting
the governments charges. The crimi-
nal charges are in no wise removed,
according to Mr.. French but on the
contrary, the government has won a
substantial victory in having had sus-
tanned the most important and com
prehensivc count charging a com
pleted monopoly through the system
of leases on patented machinery.

versity Club here, today, was asked
about Judge Putnam's opinion in tha

The court has sustained the govern
ments contention as to the most i'm
portant and comprehensive count in
the two indictments, the count which
charged the defendants with having
effected a completed monopoly in es-
sential shoe machinery. This one
count practically includes all that is
charged in the four remaining counts
that have been rejected. They charge

ON COLLEGE DIAMONDS
Yale Falls a Victim to New
Haven Professional Team.
BROWN STRONG IN THE BOX
Takes Up Pitching Burden Too
Late, However, as Damage
Had Been Done.
{ BY Telegraph to The Tribune.

New Haven, April 23.--Yale matched her
strength against the New Haven team Of
the Connecticut League to-day on Yale
Field. and was easily defeated by score
Of 10 To- IN a poorly played game.
Gle and Dyer pitched the first five in
nings for Yale, and both were Wild and
found for a total Of seven hits, nine runs
six bases on balls. a halk and hit bats
man. Brown then went In FOR Yale, and
after his first nning-tho siXth-when two
hits were made and one run scored. he
settled down and pitched effectively, shut
ting out the leaguers without hit or a
run the remainder OF the game. He was
little Wild. issuing three passes, but the
team gave him better support than II had
the two other twrlers.
New Haven appeared strong everywhere
except IN the catching department Wilson
and Lafavre, who pitched the first six In
nings, worked easily and effectively.
The feature Of the game was Reilly'a
threc-baGger to right field, scoring Mer-
ritt. Miller was the star for New Haven.
The score follows:
