er year four of our battieships built
during the same period, Will become

Lawrence. Mass. January 30
Charged with being An accessory to
murder. Joseph J. Etter. OF New York,
leader of the great textile strike,
was arrested by officers of the State
police just before mioEight The
charge against the strike leader is
in connection with the death of Anna
LopiEo. a striker. who was shot dur
ing an outbreak last night. The bull
let which caused her death was fired
by some one in the croru OF strike
sympath!zers, the police allege. and
was aimed at the grounu, but re-
bounded and struck the woman.
Etter's arrest was not unexpected,
but 1t was thought that some other
charge would be made against him
because OF alleged ,nhaUmatcry state
ments at public meetings.
To guard against possible attack by
strikers or sympathizers the police
station where Etter is locked up was
entirely surrounded oy soldiers to-
night. while inside many others were
hidden away prepared for an emer.
gency.
Wounded Syrian Dead.
With the exception of an carly
morning outbreak . when Syrian
striker John Rant, was so seriously
injured that he died tonight at the
hospital, the textile strike situation
was unusually quiet to-day in contrast
with the turbulence OF yesterday.
Armed militiamen patrolled the streets
under orders of Colonel Z. Leroy
Sweetser to shoot and shoot straight
If need be. TO enforce orders against
demonstrations of any kind. Appar-
entity this had It's effect. for no efforts
were made 10 hold ma ss-ineetings or
parades. All but three OF the mills
were running to-day. AMI it was
claimed that a larger number of opera
tives than yesterday reported for
work.
Colonel sweetser has granted per
mission for parade OF strikers in
connection with the funeral to-mor-
row of Anna Lopigo. a striker. who
vas accidentaily shot YESTERDAY. hut

ter had agreed that it should be purely

iitie and police.
No Effort for Agreement
No efforts were made to- day TO bring
agreement Of any kind. The strikers
committee met, but practically ignored
tne suggestion or LIoNerDor FoSS that
the operatives return To work for thir.
ty days pending settlement OF their
differences with the operators. The
military arrangements in the city to-
might appear as closely to a state
of martial law as is permissible under
the laws of the State. Colonel Sweet
ser has under his command twenty one
companies OF infantry and two troops
OF cavalry and the whole city is un-
der guard.
Reassured by the presence of addi-

and the public's demand for this type
of machine is said to be increasing

said tonight that it looked as though
there would be rush of women to
take advantage of his offer to appoint
members of the fair sex as special
deputies. He received an inquiry
from Mrs. John S. Crosby, president
of the Womens Democratic Club,
asking how many names of women
candidates for deputies she might
submit.
LAS many as you like" replied the
sheriff 81 believe the innovation will
be a good policy and would like to
appoint a large number of widows or
other responsible women who are de-
pendent upon themselves for a living.
There is great need of such deputies
in dance halls and other public places
where young women need protection
The sheriff is permitted to appoint
nearly 1000 deputies. He said he
would make the choice OF his first
women deputies in a few days.
