CHARGE BY
THE POLICE
STARTS RIOT
Hundreds Injured in Battle With
Dublin Tramway
Strikers.
INQUIRY IS DEMANDED l'
Lord Mayor Declares He Will Have
Officers Conduct
Investigated.

Dublin, Sept. 1.-THE fierce riot
ing in connection with the tramway
strike was renewed yesterday. Hun
dreds of persons, including thirty
constables, were injured. On Satur-
day sixty, or more persons We're in
jured. All the hospitals are SO
crowded that many serious cases
had to be sent to their homes for
treatment. ,f.z..,r
The strike committee in the inter-
est of peace had; rescinded early in
the morning the, proposed massmeet-
ing in O'Connell street, and had sub
stituted a parade from Beresford
place to Croydon park, at Fairvdew,
a suburb on the north side of the
city. The authorities meanwhile
had prohibited the massmeeting.
Croydon park belong. to the Trans
port Workers union, and meeting
was held there without disorder. But
ON the return march attempts Of the
police by. baton charges to disperse
the constantly growing crowds led
at once to rioting. The mob was in
censed by the arrest OF one Of the
strike leaders, James Larkin, against
whom a warrant had been out for
hours. Larkin was on
the balcony Of a hotel In Sackville
street. He was wearing a disguise,
but an enthusiastic admirer raised
the cry, Three cheers for Larkin.
The police Immediately pounced up
on him, and violent scenes ensued.
The rioting became general In
various parts of the city. The police
charged repeatedly with their sticks
and this led to pitched battles.
Stones, brick bats sand bottles were
hurled by the Infatuated rioters and
the streets soon were covered with
PROSTATE forms. More than fifty ar
rests were made.
The train service is completely
suspended. The exact number of in.
jured is not known, but Including
the Saturday victims it is believed n
will reach nearly 400.
The lord mayor announced his in
tention of demanding public in
quiry into the conduct of the police
during the strike riots and will send
law officers from the corporation to
attend the inquests over the two
men who have died from their in
juries. 4
Yesterdays rioting was the most
serious seen here since the wild days
of the Land league in 1888. Larkin
is secretary of the Transport Work
ers union, which he practically
created aud has been the organizer
Of many strikes. He has enormous
influence among the men.
Larkin was arrested Thursday on
a charge of seditious conspiracy. He
was liberated on bail on an under-
to cease agitation. Friday,
however. he publicly burned the
proclamation prohibiting the strike
meeting. whereupon a warrant was
issued for him.
His arrest yesterday aroused pop
alar anger against the police, who
are accused Of having used their ba-
tons against men, women and chill
dren without discrimination. 1t Isl
certain that numbers Of women and
were injured in the wild
rushes. many innocent people re-
from church being carried
down in the riots.

Esteemed Journal has got several figures too many
of its estimate of capital employed in the trade but that
makes material difference with the argument For
the bigger the investment, the greater urgency for the
abatement of the nuisance.
Nearly four billions Of dollars altogether too much
to have invested in the business of tearing down our
citizenship, pollutng cities, multiplying taxes
and filling ails with criminals
Prohlbtonsts would drive this capital out of this
traffic and into industry that builds up rather than
tears down national honor and prosperity.

Compelling the gambler to use his crap table for a
