Mill were dubbed into insensibility

Part Of the Arlington Mill is in

When the gates opened at six o'clock

the gate. They were told that be-
cause many in their number broke
windows and machinery during the
trouble Saturday when several hun
dred suck, they could not get their
jobs back. The crowd rushed for the
entrance, but the great iron gate
swung shut.
The men began a fusillade of rocks
ard stones and mill officials sent a
hurry cali to Lawrence police head
quarters fol help. Two automobiles
loaded with police rushed to the scene.
They caught the mob Of two hundred
in a "blind" street before the mill and
gates and waded into them with
swinging clubs making no effort to
arrest anyone. In three minutes the
street was covered with prostra;e
forms with cracked and bleeding
heads. Then the crowd, which had

State Finances.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 1.-For the hrst
time in four or five years Virginia
begins her new year this morning
with a probable actual balance in the
treasury. When the old fiscal year
ended at o'clock yesterday after
noon all claims of the State were paid,
all appropriations brought down tc
date, all September salaries settled,
every pension check honored and the
payments to the sinking and literary
funds all made.
1t is evident that it will be impos-
sible for the governor to purchase
this year the half of the Ford Hotel;
block, which it had been hoped, could
be bought for State library build
ing site. The law states that before
such purchase can be made there
must be an actual balance in the
State Treasury either at the end OF
the fiscal year 1912 or at the end OF
the fiscal year 1915. Il win take
weeks to figure out the exact standing
of the various funds up to yesterday,
but there was certainly nothing like
100000, the required amount, in the
general treasury. In fact, it is doubt
full if there was $4,000 there, al
though it is believed a very small
balance will appear.
During the year just ended State
Auditor C. Lee Moore collected $685.
s54.75 more than in any other one
year in the history of the Common
wealth. His total receipts for the
year, all funds included, were $7,O51,-
5S6.65, against $6,452,7 ,740.90 for the
preceding year.
There was on hand October l, 1911,
an apparent balance of $266,314.79.
The disbursements for the year to all
sources, were $7,183 3,467.54, leaving a
balance at 3 o'clock yesterday of $134,-
433.91. This, however, is also only
apparent.
One year ago there existed de,
ficit of not less than than S25O,0OO
While there seemd to be on HAND
a balance of $266,OOO in the
treasury, in reality, more than $780,
900 worth of pension checks were be-
ing held over, while there was due
the literary fund something live $4O,'
900, and there were many unpaid ap'
preparations which had to be held
over until the railroad taxes coulc
be collected last October.

MURDER TRIAL IN
PROGRESS At SALEM
Accused Are Urging Coun-
sci to Put up Spectacu-
lar Fight.
LABOR AND CAPITAL
in Italy in Favor of
Ettor and Giovannitti-U. S. is
Denounced. -.

Salem, Mass, Oct. Important
developments are expected soon in the
Superior Court of Salem where Judge
Quinn is hearing the trial OF Joseph
Caruso, Joseph Ettor and Arturo
Giovannitti, held responsible direct
ly and indirectly for the shooting of
Annie Lopizzo during the terrible
strike of textile workers at Lawrence
last winter.
There may be break at any min
ute, due to the great dissatisfaction
expressed by Ettor and Giovannitti
in the method of picking jurors as
allowed by Judge Quinn. They want
their attorneys to put up a spectac-
ular fight on this point but the six
members of the defendants counsel
are not agreed to the plan.
Most of them are Massachusetts
bred and are trained to submit easily
to the judicial decision. If the fight
comes it will be made by Attorney
Fred Moore, of Los Angeles, the
young California lawyer, who con-
Quoted the "fre speech fight on the
Pacific coast.
Ettor and Giovannitti feel that in
drawing jurors many more questions
than simply the statutory ones
should be asked prospective jurors.
Said Moore:
"They feel tha his is a rial ba-
ween labor and capital and that ev-
erv talisman should be asked his
stand on the economic questions OF
the day.
"They want their counsel to put up
fight in open court to force Judge
Quinn to take stand on this matter.
Whether the defendants lawyers will
agree to do this today, do not
know"
Rome, Oct. 1.-Demonstrations IN
favor of Ettor and Giovannitti oc-
Cured today at Florence, Ferrar, AS
coli. Picerno and other Italian cities
TODAY. There were tremendous gath
arings of workingmen and women, pro-
cessions and speeches of sympathy
with the two imprisoned Italians and
in denunciation of the United States
government, between which the Mass
achusetts authorities the demonstra-
tors make no distinction.
In an effort to calm the people, the
Government has made public a mes
sage from the Italian consul in Bos-
ton. saving Ettor and Giovannittl have
been assured of every possible safe,

deputy marshaEls before Judge An

court, the half hundred defendants
in the dynamite cases, ranged in two
long rows across the courtroom eyed
him with curious interest more than
with suspicion.
1t was Ortie McManigal the inform

downfall of the McNa. >aras and the
indictment Of structural non workers
in every part Of the country and it
was the first time that many of his

their entire families.
When Marshall Schmidt opened
court at 9:3O, fifty defendants were
present. The only man missing was

Watson Gets Certificate.

Petersburg, Va, Oct. 1.-The
Fourth District Democratic commit
tee last night awarded the certificate
of nomination for congress TO Judge
Walter A. Watson, who, according to
the returns certified to by the pre-
cinct Judges received a majority OF
eight votes over his opponent, Con-
pressman Robert TurnbUll.
The award of the certificate fol-
lowed long argument, in which W.
r .McKenncy. Of Petersburg, and +.
p. Buford. Of Lawrencevil!e, coun-
sci for Mr.. TurnbuI claimed that the
district committee had no power under
the law to award the certificate on the
returns from the precinct judges, but
ONLY on certificates from the county
committees which must have can
vassed the returns with reference to
the poll books. r. II. Mann, counsel
for Judge Watson, claimed that under
the Byrd primary law the returns
must be canvasscd by the Judges Of
election, certified by them, and sent
to the district chairman. The COM
mittce decided in favor of Mr.. Mann's
contention and after tabulating the
returns from the certified statements
of the judges declared the nominee.
Congressman Turnbull's counsel gave
notice of an appeal to the State COM
mittee.

Nude Man on Streets.

Blase Broadway, at 42nd street, n.
Y, received shock yesterday when
a nude man ran up Seventh Avenue,
apparently oblivious to the attention
he was attracting. Policeman Gan
non, at 42nd street, made a jump for
him.
The man saw Cannon coming. He
reversed and sped backward down
Seventh Avenue and turning into 41st
street, he ran into a lace shop con-
Quoted by the Misses Boyd.
His sudden appearance in the shop
was startling. Miss Sarah Boyd and
Miss Mary Boyd covered their faces
with their hands and then dived be-
meath counter. A woman customer
jointed in the headIong dive. Miss
Rose Boyd, who retained her self
possession at once realized that the
clotheless one was hiding behind
scneen.
Policeman Cannon and several hun
dred spectators arrived Simultaneous
ly and captured the refugee, who
said he was James Royal, of San
Francisco. His clothes were found
in hallway in west 4lst street, where
a man had seen him using a hypoder-
mic needle shortly before.
Royal said he was addicted to the
use Of morphine and that he didn't
know what he was doing when he
disrobed and ran into the street.
