A Possible Bolt.

Chicago-Theodore Roosevelt threw
his strenuous personality into the H.
linois presidential situation. In a
series OF speeches to delegations, DO
litical leaders and precinct committee
men he declared the present political
situation to equal in Importance the
great Civil war and limited at the DOS.
sibility of a third party movement in
the event he fails of nomination by the
Republican national convention.
The reference to a possible bolt of
Roosevelt supporters was couched in
the following language:
eff the people decide the way
think they ought not to do, l will think
they are unwise, but will have moth.
ing to say. But if they decide against
US. as the result of juggling of their
rights by the bosses, then l will have
a good deal to say"
This statement, made before the
gathering of precinct committeeman
in the gold room of the Congress ho.
tel, was received with cheers.

THREE KILLED., DOZEN HURT
AND BUILDINGS WRECKED IN
POLITICAL OUTBREAK.
POLICE FIRE ON RIOTERS
Mayor Barely Escapes Death From
Rifle Shot-Entire Sixth Regiment
Ordered to illinois City
Further Trouble Feared.

Rock Island, Ill.,, March 28.--The en-.
tire Sixth regiment of the Illinois ma.
tional guard. 1000 men, has been
ordered here by Governor Deneen
as the result of a riot in which three
men were killed, a fourth is dying and
a dozen others were injured. The out
break grew out of a political fight
against Mayor Schriver. and it is
feared that there will be more trouble.
Governor Deneen was informed by
Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver and Com.
missioner of Public Safety Hart that
it will be necessary to keep the troops
here until after the primary election,
April 8, to prevent further rioting.
An attempt to assassinate Mayor
Schriver was made. He was standing
in the police station when a bullet
fired from a high-power rifle crashed
through the window and buried itself
in the wall above his shoulder.
Further Rioting Feared.
Grave fears are entertained by the
officials that further rioting will occur
as the business portion Of the town
is in entire darkness. The electric
light wires that feed all the street
lights were cut. Threats have been
made that the city hall would be dyna-
mited if the troops were brought in.
Business is practically suspended
and the city is almost isolated from
Moline and Davenport, adjacent towns.
All persons of suspicious character
are not permitted to enter the city
unless they state their business. The
police and soldiers are keeping all
pedestrians moving. and groups Of
men are not permitted to congregate.
The trouble which led up to last
nights %bloodshed grew out of a bitter
political fight that has been raging for
a month or more between Mayor
Harry Nj. Schriver, Rock Islands first
mayor under the commission form OF
government. and the men opposed to
him and the political machine he has
built about his office.
Mob Assaulted Police Station.
Infatuated by the speeches of Harry
McCaskrin. candidate for the republic
an nomination for states attorney,
Edward Gardner. editor of a labor pa
per. and several other speakers in
Market square. the crowd gathered
by these orators ven to the police
station. demanding a speech from
Mayor Schriver answering the charges
against his administration.
When Schriver failed to appear,
some members of the mob began
throwing stones at the station house.
This outbreak was the signal for de-
termined measures against the mob.
The mayor ordered Chief of Police
James Brinn to clear the streets.
Schriver. with Brinn, appeared in the
street and when the police line was
being swept back. the mayor gave an
order to fire.
The mob choked the street from one
side to the other. The volley from the
revolvers of the police brought fif-
teen from the front ranks of the crowd
to the pavement. Two of the three
persons killed were identified as J. c.
Kelly. a blacksmith of Silvis, and +.
H.. Orman. a shoe merchant of this
city.
