OFFICERS and
STRIKERS CLASH
KNIVES, CLUBS AND GUNS USED IN
BATTLE AT LAWRENCE.
POLICE STOPPED PARADE
5000 Marchers Were ON Their Way to
Graves of Anna Lopizso and john
RAINY to Conduct Demonstration.

Lawrence, Mass.-Police and paraders
fought with knives and clubs Sunday.
Two officers were stabbed, q number OF
demonstrators were dubbed and al In
dustrial Workers of the World leader
captured after . hard fight and then
freed.
Carlo Tresca OF Pittsburgh, an editor,
who is an organizer OF the Industrial
Workers, wa in custody, but gained his
freedom a minute or two later. Persons
who saw Tresca's arrest said he was res
cued by comrades. Trcsca, with a smile,
said the police let him go.
The clash was quite unexpected. More
than 10000 operatives met at the rail
road station to welcome 700 members OF
the Industrial Workers of the World,
who had come from Boston to partici-
pate in a parade to the graves OF Anna
Lopizzo and John RAINY, who were killed
uring the strike riots last January. Al
ter the visitors had %detrained, an i'm
promptu parade was started, turning
finally into Essex street, the main busi-
ness ~thoroughfare of the city.
The parade was informal, and no ap-
plication had been made for a parade per-
init. The police, who were notified that
the operatives were marching, attempt
ed to end the demonstration. A squad
of twenty-five officers were sent to Essex
and Lawrence streets. Here they threw
a line across Essex street and awaited
the arrival of the procession.
Two large banners were carried by the
marchers. One banner was inscribed
THE only justice-freedom for Ettor and
G%iovannitti." The other bore the words
"Police and Militia" and below, who
killed Anna and Johnf"
When the head of the parade reached
the line Of officers, it halted and an ar
gument began. The police notified the
marchers that they must dispense, be
cause they had no permit
They struck right and left at the Off
GERS, who responded by swinging Their
clubs. Many paraders were knocked
bleeding to the ground. In some in
stances the marchers robbed the Officers
of their clubs and beat the police.

WHAT IS A "ROTTEN' EGG?
Supreme Court Will Be Called Upon to
Decide the Point.

Westinghouse a ~decomposed egg,
within the meaning of the pure food
and drug act of 1906, the same thing
as a rotten egg under the common
law?
Upon the decision of that question by
the supreme court of the United States
is said to hang a far-reaching dispute
in regard to the federal pure food law.
Egg men are attacking the department
of agriculture as seeking to en-.
force the law according to arbitrary
arl unreasonable standards, while Off
Gals of the department are defending
their course as involving the most valu
able features of the legislation agains.

New Orleans, La.-Sensational revela-
tions touching the intervention OF the
American government in Nicaragua are
promised by Gen. Juan Leets, who ar
rived here from Salvador to appear be-
fore the special senate committee named
under the Bacon resolution to investi-
gate revolutionary matters in Nicara-

Gen. Leets comes here as the author
lied representative OF the leaders OF the
Liberal party in Nicaragua, and is pre-
pared to submit to the senate committee
official documents any private CORE
spondence between United States and
Central American officials touching the
activity of the state department in Latin

Gen. Leets declares that the attitude
of the state department in the Mica
raguan em~broglio and the use of Amer
lean marines to suppress the revolt OF
the people OF Nicaragua against Presi-
dent Diaz is resented in every Central
American country as an unwarranted
interference in the domestic affairs OF
those countries. He declares that unless
the United States senate should take
some action to counterfeit the anti-Amer
lean feeling %engendered by the state
departments action in the Nicaragua
matter, a propaganda favoring a boy
colt against all commodities from sht
United States will sweep every Latin
American country from the Rio Grandt
to Cape Horn.

More Attention Given to Breeding OF
Cattle.

Indianapolis, Ind.-"The human race
has not kept pace with the Improvement
in the blue-blooded breeds OF Acgs and
cattle within the past 100 years" de-
clared DR.. William A. Evans, OF Chicago,
in his address before the fourth national
conservation congress.
''Eugenics has been neglected. and AS
n result nations have waned and families
disappeared. Men have paid more atten-
ton to the breeding Of prize cattle than
to the breeding OF the human race
DR.. Evans declared that vegetable and
animal life each compliments the other
and that the high death rate in srowdec
cities was due in great measure to the
lack of vegetable life. Hog cholera and
tuberculosis in cattle lave added ms least
three cents per pound to t@ price O.
