NEAR MARTIAL
LAW IN NAPLES
Wild Scenes Mark
Strike Against High
Cost of Living
Fiery Speeches Den0unCing
Church and State
lncIte Riots

Naples, Feb. 4-The Neopolitan
strike against the higher cost of living
continued, today but rioting was
checked by the presence of several
companies of troops. Soldiers patrol
led the streets and the city had every
appearance of being under martial
law, though military rule was not ac-
tually proclaimed.
Practically all the workingmen of
Naples agreed to strike as a protest
against the increased cost of living
produced by higher duties imposed on
imported foodstuffs to increase the
revenue of the municipality. Women
Joined in the movement, and the strike
was inaugurated, yesterday. Street
cars were stopped, shops closed. mills
and factories shut down and all busi-
ness was at a standstill.
Mass meetings were held in halls
and on street corners and inflamma
tory speeches against the church and
state melted riots which ragged fur
iously all day and far into the night.
At the request of the Naples munich
pal association, Italian troops were
rushed to the city and the nobs were
ers in front of the curse, the soldiers
were forced to use violence and many
men and women were wounded. Doz-
ems of arrests were made.
The working people declare that
any increase in living cost means
starvation for them and today there
was apprehension that the movement
would spread to nearby towns and
perhaps throughout Italy.

LIKE
PULLMAN'S RULING
Believe His Opinion In Mooney
Case Protects Them In
Positions

Much qualification is expressed at
police headquarters today over the
ruling of City Attorney John Pullman
in the case of Chief Engineer Edward
Mooney, of the local fire department,
which taken analogousIy is believed
to disproye the prevalent idea that
any of the old members of the detec-
tive department can be removed
The obtaining belief today is that
while the commissioners may at their
discretion add to it's ranks new mem
5bers which they may later dispossess,
nothing affecting the older members
whose places were provided for in
the city charter can be done without
their resignation or removal upon
charges.
While much concern has heretofore
been felt in the wide circle of police
acquaintanceship over the feared i'm
pending changes, this present phase
of the case is looked upon with great
favor and sets at rest the perturb-
ed minds of those who feared for
their friends upon the detective force.

STANDARD OIL
SQUEEZING THE
INDEPENDENTS

Pittsburgh. Feb. 4.-Independent oil
men, today, claim to see in the spec
tacular 35 cent rise in the price of
crude oil, last week, an attempt by
the Standard Oil Company to
squeeze the Independents by an adj
vance in oil prices and a stationary
price for oil products.
The Joseph Seep Agency handles tn g
oil for this vicinity Independents say
this means Standard Oil sets the price.
In many instances, they claim, fnde-
pendent refineries have to pay more
to get their oil than does the Stand
ard. The price was advanced seven
cents a day for five days, last week.
while, according to oil men, the price
of oil products remained practically
stationary.
Thus. they argue, the independents,
paying more, receive the same prices
for their product and would eventual
1y be squeezed" out of business
Pennsylvania crude was quoted at
s2.40 by the Seep agency, today.

tennis PLAYERS
ARE ENTHUSIASTIC

The courts of the Capital City Ten
mis- Club have been put in excellent
condition and the members are en-
joying them daily. It was thought at
first that the new Country Club would
take so many Of the Tennis Club s
members that it would be useless to
at tempt to keep up the old Organiza-
ton, but apparently the fear was un-
founded for more players than ever
have applied for membership, so many
in fact that a limit of twenty members
has been made. The club has receiv-
ed sanction from the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association for
the usual July tournaments. They
will be held this year commencing
July Ord and will consist of the west
ern North Dakota championships, In
mems singles and doubles and the
Missouri Slope championships. La
dies events will be arranged II sultlc-
lent interest is shown. The handsome
Commercial CLUB cups are still in
competition in the Western N. d.
events and the Little cup in the doub-
les Of the Missouri Slope. The singles
cup was permanently won last year,
so the Pennsylvania Rubber Co., Of
Jeanette, Pa, makers of the Hand
Made" tennis balls, generously pre-
scented the club with a beautiful silver
trophy for this event. The cup Is
eleven inches high, gold lined. on an
ebony base, with stag horn handles
and is a beauty. Competition will be
keen for the honor of winning the
Missouri Slope championship and
with it the right of having the win
ner's name the first to b engraved
on the e cup. The officers of the
Capital City Tennis Club are G. II.

ard, secretary and treasurer.
