wounded and nearly a. dozen others
slightly hurt. controlled the situation
tonight.
The mob attacked the city Jail last
night in an attempt to release sympa-
thizers with John Looney. publisher OF
a weekly paper which had several Iy

Mayor Schriver issued the followins
statement today:

speech, but. was anxious to prevent
disturbances and violence
THE police were particularly careful
to do nothing that would start trouble,
They stood bravely All kinds OF taunts
and ridicule on the street, submitted
to assaults with britslxs and rocks and
finally, when three OF them We're
driven To the river bark. they found
refuge in the police station.
When the mob came down to the
police station, the police did not open
fire until they found they were trapped
and then they fred several volleys
over the heads OF the crowd after Com
missioner Hart had gone out in front
of the station and urged the mob to
disperse- He was met with jeers and
taunts ond q fusiilade OF bricks"
The shots were fred into the
crowd only after most Of the windows
in the city hall and station had been
broken and number of the policemen
inside had been hit with bricks and
stones.
THE whole trouble from its incep-
tion may be traced to the fact that

ssloons and chop suey joints. That is
what brought forth the attack on me
by the Looney paper. It is deplorable
but we are not going TO QUIT now un-
til we restore order and rid the city

political addresses may be made will

MAGNATES SORE
 AT CHAS. MURPHY
NATIONAL LEAGUE MOGULS SAY s CHICAGO PRESIDENTS RAY. -INGS AGAINST LYNCH
 HURT GAME.

Bitter feeling is shown by several National League magnates over the attack made by Murphy and Chance of the Cubs on President Lynch and Roger Bresnahan. Murphy's charge that Bresnahan's Cardinals might not try. very hard to beat the Giants has been scored unmercifully by other elub owners. President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club, when asked for his opinion of Murphy yesterday replied:
 Just quote me as saying that Mur- phy. to say the least, is decidedly fndiscreet.''
 eMurphy's crack is groundless,'' said Secretary Locke of the Pittsburg club on. Tuesday ''The Cardinals have beaten the Giants consistently and fre- uuently this year. Everybody knows that Bresnahan wants to win as many games as possible
 Chances statement that Lynch is the best player the Giants have is absurd" said another club owner. ssLynch hasn't helped the Giants a bit when you notice that. the Cubs have made a show of McGraws men in the last two series"
 Murphy is quoted as saying he will begin another fight. against Lynch's Sre-election next winter He says he shas the support of at least three oth- CT clubs. in the league, which cause iH deadlock.

 Chicago is baseball crazy about this series, and one of the largest crowds in the history of the Chicago National League club viewed the fray. Every possible inch of space in the stands and on the field of battle was occu- pied, and iong before the opening of hostilities the home club was obliged to close the gates. The crowd was estimated at between twenty-five and thirty thousand. Had there been room for all, the attendance would have ex- ceeded forty thousand.
