POLICE DURING RIOT.

Auburn, N. Y, April 4.-Six strike
rioters were shot by the police to-
day during an attack which mob
of 300 made on the plant of the Co
lumbian Rope Co. Two Of the six
are fatally injured.
After the shooting the situation be-
came so serious that Mayor O'Neill
called out the fire department and
the local militia company.
The mob, all foreigners, gathered
near the plant at o'clock. Chief Of
Police Bell and squad of thirty men
who were stationed there, attempted
to arrest one of the leaders and the
strikers became ugly. The prisoner
was rescued from the police in a hand
to hand battle and the blue coats
were getting the worst of it when
Chief Bell ordered them to draw their
revolvefs. ". III 81 Y q M
One volley was fired over the heads
Of the strikers with no effect and the
police were compelled to fire into the
crowds. Six strikers. two women and
four men dropped. One of the women
and one of the men will die.
After the shooting the mob reform
ed and made another attack. The
strikers obtained quantities of salt
and threw 1t into the eyes of the
police, who finally, to avoid further
bloodshed, took up position inside
the mill gates. The strikers then
charged on the gates The police
were fighting against great odds and
rumors that many Of the strikers had
gone back to the foreign colonies to
obtain weapons, caused Chief Bell to
send for the fire department. Lines OF
hose were laid and the strikers we're
driven back gradually. They continued
in an ugly mood, however, and Mayor
O'Neill decided to call out the militia.
The riot call was sounded through
the streets and within an hour Cap
tain Johnston and half Of his company
had assembled at the state armory.
They were ordered to patrol the en-
tire city.

CAPITAL TODAY
Murdock Announced as a
Candidate for Speaker of
the Houses; Criticises the
Old Parties as Outworn.

Washington, d. c., April 4.-The un-
precedented spectacle of q party legis-
lative caucus, open to the public and
attended by women, was seen at the
capitol today. The occasion was the
first conference Of the house pro-
gressives. #
Less than a score of members Of
the new house were on hand, but Rep
resentative Murdock of Kansas leader
of the new party, declared that many
new members unable to reach Wash
ington in time for today's conference
had enlisted in the progressive party
by letter.
Roosevelt Sent Message.
The program for today's conference
included reading of a keynote mes
sage" from Theodore Roosevelt,
speeches by members Of the caucus,
and the placing of Representative Muir.
dock in nomination as the new
party's candidate for speaker.
Representatives limbaugh and Muir
dock the most active in the movement,
expect an increase in membership later
on and are pressing for recognition on
important committees. The progress
sives demand the rights Of distinct
party In con gress. They have q
legislative program, a candidate for
speaker, and count on the backing OF
the national party organization with
the personal influence of former Presi-
dent Roosevelt. e.
Says Old Parties are outworn
1--WE constitute a new party, be-
cause the old parties are outworn" de-
clared Mr. Murdock In his announce
ment as speakership candidate. "The
elements which control the democratic
party come half heartedly, incompe-
tently and with inadequate weapons
to battle with powers that prey and
pillage. Those who have prevented
the purse Of the republican party are
in league with privilege and at heart
distrustfal Of all majorities. Our
war is with an enemy that fears
neither the republican nor the demo-
cratic party. Our struggle is with
the forces Of privilege. There Is 9
new party in the land, the tramp OF
4 900, 900 citizens. who, without time
for organization, marched to the polls
in November to vote for Theodore
Roosevelt"
viii Elect Committee.
Representative Murdock announced
today that the caucus would elect a
committee to name committees to
take charge Of the progressive legis-
lative program. A meeting has been
called for next Tuesday, when the leg
islative committee Of the caucus will
meet members of the legislative COM
mittee OF the national progressive

INVITATION To
JOIN M00SERS
Congressman From Eighth
Opposed to Special Ses-
sion and Urges Repubi-
cans to Keep Hands Off.
[BY E. H. HANsoN.l

Washington, D. c., April 4-Repre-
sentative Towner, the standpat repre-
sentative from the eighth Iowa, was
considerably surprised and amused to
find awaiting him at his office, on his
return from Iowa this week, an In
vitation to join the bull moose organ
ization of the lower house.
II there Is one man In the Iowa dele.
cation who differs from the bull moos-
ers at every point of the political
game, 1t is Mr.. Towner. At first, be
didn't know whether II Nat 4 mlstske
on the part Of the moosers or q joke
on the part OF one Of his colleagues
BY little inquiring, however, he
found that every republican In the
house had received such an invitation,
50 he gave 1t little further considera-
tion.
Opposed Extra Session.
One of the last things Represents
tive Towner did before the close of the
sixty-second congress was to make a
speech censuring President Wilson for
calling a special session to consider
the tariff. One Of the first things he
did after his return was to relterate
his belief that the calling of the $685.
sion was bad for the country at large.
Judge Towner Is in favor of con-
filming 1t entirely to the tariff and to
as little OF the tariff as possible.
Realizing that the democrats intend
to wade through every schedule be-
fore they quit, he believes that the
republicans should lay low, let them
do 1t and then attack them at the most
advantageous point later on. With q
majority of over $50 over the republi-
can organization the democrats will
experience little trouble, unless dissen-
sions break out in their own camp.
which is most unlikely. By reason of
this tremendous majority the repub-
licans can offer little resistance to
their plans, and further than calling
attention to what they regard as the
bad parts of the program-most every
part in fact-the republicans, accord
ing to Judge Towner, should do little.
The Iowa representative believes that
by the time the regular session con-
venes in December, the country will
have aroused in protest against the
democratic program and then his
party can 80 shape its course as to
bring the most effective results from
a party view point.
However that may be, developments
of the past week, have made it almost

COORDINATION
WILL bEPUT UP
TO GOVERNOR
Action Taken on the State
School Bill Shifts Respon-
sibility; Accounting by
Fair Board Criticised.

Des Moines, April 4.-The question
Of coordination Of state schools, SO
far as the legislature Is concerned
probably will have been settled to
night.
The senate settled 1t this morn
ing by the passage Of the compromise
committee bill and the measure was
sent to the house, where early favor-
able action Is expected.
Virtually the measure takes the re-
sponsibility for future coordination
orders from the legislature and places
1t on Governor Clarke, who has the
privilege Of appointing those members
of,the state board Of education whose
terms soon expire.
The senate committee compromise
bill. which passed by vote of 43 TO
4, has three distinct provisions. !.
The state board of education is
given power to prescribe courses OF
study for state schools: tho education
OF both sexes being at all times the
object, and domestic science to be
taught In all state institutions.
No member OF the state board snail
be appointed from county In which
is located a state school.
The board is requested" to rescind
it's recent coordination order. THIS
provision virtually means that the
Cowles joint resolution has been IN
corporated in the compromise bill.
Think Clarke viii Veto Bill.
Members of the senate believe Gov.
Clarke will veto the proposed compro-
mise bill which Is reported to nave
been worked out between the friends
and foes of the state board. II IS
pointed out by these men that II the
bill is passed it leaves the, future OF
the schools UP to Governor Clarke ana
Fhe, has demaTded that the legisia
make division.
L The proposed bill prohibits the CO.
ordination plan of the present board
but provides that duplication may De
ended by any future board.
state Would Buy Brewery.
The. senate committee on suppress
sion OF intemperance reported the five
mile limit bill without recommendation
this morning.
An amendment tackled on the meas
ure provides that commission or
three be appointed to appraise the
value of the brewery which would be
knocked out by the measure, at Iowa
city. The state then would buy the
property. 1t would mean an expendl-
ture OF about $150,000.
The bill was made special order
for this afternoon as soon as the SEN
ate reconvened.
Criticize Accounting Methods.
"The records Of the administration
Of the state fair are of such a nature
as to preclude any satisfactory vertical
tion thereof
The accounting methods are of the
crldest description and no commercial
concern could continue to exist under
similar conditions.
Speaking generally, records kept
in the department fail entirely to pro-
vide the necessary data and informa-
tion whereby due accounting of all In.
come can be properly assured"-ex-
cerpt from report Of efficiency en-.
gineers who investigated fair board
accounts.
The report of the committee on re-
trenchment and reform in which was
included full records of the investiga-
tion of accounts of the board by ef-
ficiency engineers of Quail, Parker &
Co. was presented to the house today.
