ing the day None of them would dis
cuss the matter today.
1t has been rumored for some time
that grand jury indictments against
persons connected with the insane hos
pital would be returned, and it is
probable that evidence against others
may be presented to the grand jury.
The legislative investigators admit "all
is not as bright as it should be-" as
one expressed it, at the asylum.
Hear Smith Petition Monday.
Newt Monday afternoon at O'Clock is
the hour that has been set by Judge

Smith, convicted head of the prison
! board that he be granted bail pending
the outcome of his appeal to the SUI
preme court.
| The petition was presented to Judge
Henry late yesterday af ernoon, with a
request that he pass upon it as soon
as possible.
1t is said that attorneys TO rSmitt
will introduce a number of physicians
to the court to swear that Smiths
health would be jeopardized if he were
kept in Jail. 1t is also said that two
of them will testify that an examina
ton of the prisoner has showed tina
he is suffering from incipient tubercu
losis.
Attorneys who prosecuted the form
er prison trustee, when he was tried
resulting in his getting a sentence o
five years on a charge of defraudin!
the state in the sale and purchase O
an automobile, will resist the attemp
to secure bail, and today stated tina

STRIKERS FIND
TREASURY EMPTY
Garment Workers Unable to Pay
Further Benefits-May Vote to
Return to Work.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 27.-The
garment workers who have been on
a strike in this city since July Is,
were notified yesterday at mass
meeting that the treasury of their
union was empty and no further
strike benefits could be paid.
1t was decided to take vote
today to determine whether to re-
turn to work Monday. More than
100000 has been expended by the
strikers, it was stated, since the be-
ginning of the trouble. The only
money remaining in the treasury
last week was applied to furnishing
$500 bail for five men held in con-
nection with the shooting of a non
union worker.
In spite of the efforts of the feder-
al and state departments of labor
and a committee appointed by city
councils, the manufacturers associa-
ton has refused to treat with the
strikers as an organization, declar-
ing the workers will have to deal
with their former employers individ-
ually.

There were other similar rescues.

begun before the last body had been
taken from the hall. Fifteen hun

neighboring city of Houghton before
midnight, and the committee was
kept busy all day receiving addition

The declaration of President Moy-
err of the Western Federation of

activity was not retarded in the

A BIG STORM
SWEEPS EAST
Two Drowned in New York's East
River-Seventy Families Home
less at Seabright, N. J.

New York, Dec. 27.-Two men
drowned in East river and ten men
the crews of two barges wrecked
on the New Jersey coast-given up
as lost, is the cost in human lives of
the storm which swept over this city
and this vicinity yesterday.
At Seabright, N. j., fashionable
summer resort, twenty miles south
of here, most of the houses have
either been wrecked or are under
water. Several hotels and many fine
residences were among those under
mined and badly damaged. Seventy
families are homeless.
The damage done to property is
estimated at $1,000,0O0, most of it
borne by Seabright and other points
along the northern section of the
New Jersey coast. Most of the dam
age was due to bulkheads giving way
under the onslaught of waves dashed
into fury by gale which at one
time reached velocity Of ninety
miles an hour.
The two threemasted barges
whose crews have been given up as
lost were in tow of the sea going tug
Edgar Luckenbach.
While the storm was at it's worst,
the barges broke away and then
drifted ashore midway between life
saving stations Is and 16 south of
Seaside ark, N. J. At $50 o'clock
yesterday morning only one of the
masts of the barges was visible and
on it was the form of a man. A lit
tie later both mast and man disap-
peared. Heroic efforts on the part of
the lifesaving crews have failed so
far to reveal a single survivor of the
wreck. The tug was reported safe in
this port late last night. The two
men drowned here were longshore-
men whose boat was caught in the
storm and swamped.
All doubt as to the fate of the
crews of the wrecked barges was re-
moved late last night when the rev.
enue cutters Seneca and Onondaga,
which were rushed to the scene
early yesterday, reported that no
trace of the men had been found.
Life savers on shore had not been
able to reach the wrecks and del
clared it was out of the question that
any of those on board could have
lived in such a sea as prevailed all
day. The wished for change in the
wind came to Seabright's relief late
last night and the maritime observ-
ers expressed the belief that the
worst was over. ALI those made
homeless were cared for without out
side help. 1t is regarded as the
worst storm in Seabright's history.

HUNDREDS RIOT
IN THE STREETS
Laborer Shot by Officers at Los Ange-
les-Officers Attempt to Break
Up Meeting.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 26.-Ra-
and five policemen were injured yes
terday in riot at the Plaza when
the officers started to break up a
meeting of several hundred unem-
ployed and hungry men. Twenty of
the rioters were arrested.
When the police arrived on the
scene, drew their clubs and began to
clear the streets, rocks were thrown
and clubs used by the men, who had
been listening to speeches. Adames
was one of the leaders in resisting
and was shot by an officer.
Although they put up a vigorous
fight, none of the rioters was armed
and the police suffered injuries from
clubs and stones only. The Plaza
finally was emptied and the disturb
ances ended. 1t is said the rioters
we're mostly foreigners.
Patrolman Koenegheim said he
pursued several Mexicans into an al
ley and fired several shots into the
crowd, when one of them aimed a
revolver at Patrolman William
Brown. It is said Adames was killed
here.
After the trouble was over Ad-
ames' body was found in an Indus
trial Workers of the World meeting

room, some distance from the scene.
The police took charge of the re-
mains.
The meeting had been advertised
for several days. Incendiary speeches
were being made, when Lieut.. H. W.
r. Kriege and the seven policemen
on duty in the district under orders
from headquarters, began to dispense
the crowd.
Kriege was surrounded, trampled
on and stabbed in the neck, the
knife just missing his jugular vein.
The injuries of the other policemen
were not serious. Two rioters were
wounded, it is reported.
Police reinforcements came in au-
tomobiles and the crowd was scat
tered. Every saloon in the district
was closed for the night and reserves
are patrolling the neighborhood to
prevent renewal of trouble.

LOOKED FOR THE SHERIFF.

Algona, Dec. 27.-Jesse Oxley shot
Melville Hillery, who married Ok
ley's divorced wife, on the streets OF
Corwith Christmas afternoon.
Failing to secure a warrant for
OXley's arrest, Hillery was seeking
to get the sheriff to come to Corwith
from Britt to protect him from Ok
ley. Oxley met him for the second
time that afternoon.
Oxley pulled revolver and shot,
without word. The bullet entered
below the heart and lodged in the
spine. Hillery will die. Oxley has
been taken to the county Jail at For
est City.
Jealousy, induced by the divorce
proceedings and the subsequent mar
rage of Mrs. OXley, is believed to
have been the motive for the crime.
Early Christmas afternoon the
two men met on the street. Oxley
pushed Hillery off the sidewalk with
a small hand cart he, was pushing
and said: 'I'll get you before night"
Hillery then tried to secure war;
rant, but without success. He was
seeking a telephone to call the sher-
if at Britt when the two met the
second time.
