ST Paul. MINI, Nov. Opposing
counsel entered the federal district
court here this noEa znr hsAaaAa
struggle in the governments suit to
dissolve the international Harvester
company as monopoly in violation OF
the Sherman law. The court gathered
TO hear the final arguments in the case
when 1t was filed more than a year
and half ago.
Edwin p. Grosvenor, special assist
ant to Attorney General McReynolds,
in opening the final arguments, asked
for dissolution in such manner as TO
prevent effectively a possibility OF two
or more of the disintegrated parts
coming into ownership of companies
having common stockholders. Gros

islature at tomorrow's elections. Their
hopes are based on democratic dis
satisfaction over the removal of Sulzer
and the fact that the democratic lead
er neglected the states situation in
the bitter fight to retain control of
New York City. Progressives, through
fusion with republicans in New York

tation in the assembly, and should the
election be close they would hold the
balance of power in the house. Follow

Sheriff Summons 200
Business Men for DUTY
at Indianapolis.
NO EFFORT TO RESUME
Employees Unable to Get to
Work, Factories Are Run
ming Short Handed.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3.-Up to
noon today no effort had been made
t resume street car ervice, tied up
since Friday night by strike of the
employees of the Indianapolis traction
and terminal company, although spe-
cial police patrolled the district.
Strike breakers and crowds of strik-
ers and sympathiEers congregated near
the Louisiana street car barn and the
company decided to keep the cars in
the barn. The crowd was orderly and
quiet, but remained on watch a block
from the barns.
Bankers, merchants and profession
al men are to guard the streets tonight
in order to prevent destruction of
street car property. The sheriff sum-
moned 200 business men to report
for guard duty later in the day.
Clubs were used freely by the police
when an attempt was made to run
cars which stand on street corners into
the barns. Most of the factories are
shorthanded owing to inability of en-
ployes to reach their places of busi-
ness.
In an attempt yesterday to rush the
Louisiana street car barns, where the
imported strikbreakers are quartered,
Isaac Fleischer, "a, strikebreaker,
from Philadelphia, was fatally shot in
the neck and died on the way to the
city hospital. Fleischer was shot by
one of the men in. the barn, who was
was firing into the crowd from a sec
ond story window. About q dozen
shots were fired, but Fleischer was
the only one hit.
STRIKING MOTORMAN WOUNDED.
Joseph Johnson, a striking motor
man was wounded by policeman,
who shot into the crowd that surged
around the first car to be sent out.
Two cars were taken from the barns,
each filled with policemen, but the
crowds packed around them so tightly
they could not be moved. Soon after
the shooting of Johnson they were or
dered back to the barns.
| Governor Ralston in a statement
again charged that the city authorities
are not doing their duty in failing to
provide police protection. He refused
/ a request for state militia.
NO EFFORT TO DIsPERsE MoBs.
The police mingled with the crowds,
/ but made little effort to disperse them.
/ Four policemen turned in their badges
and resigned when ordered to accom-.
! pany the cars.
! In spite of Superintendent Hyland's
orders to arrest patrol wagon loads OF
persons in order to dispense the
crowds, not more than a dozen men
were taken to the police station dur
! ing the day.
! Numerous socialist orators made the
occasion of the crowded downtown
streets the opportunity of lecturing.
| In relays speakers addressed those
around the car barns all day and most
/ all last night. Another relay spoke
/ to those assembled near the state
house. No effort was made to pre-
| vent their speaking.

York Requisition is Not Made
in Good Faith.

Concord, ~ Y, Nov 3.-The final
brief for Harry Thaw in connection
with his efforts to resist extradition
from New Hampshire to New York
was filed with Governor Felker today.
The brief states the requisition is
not in accordance with rules OF prac-i
tice that the laws of New York were
violated in obtaining an Indictment
and that the requisition is not made
in good faith.
Activity of Jerome in obtaining tha
Indictment and his language at the
hearings before Felker are attacked in
the brief which says: "The language
used was bullying and threatening and
could be used for no other purpose
than the silly thought to intimidats
your excellency."

Sympathy From All Corners.

The country is shocked and grieve1
because of the recent disasters that
have visited the middle west states
during the past three days. Sympa-
thy and aid is being extended from
every corner of the United States.
The devastation wrought by the
tornado and the food is hardly real
lied by those who have not been
brought in direct contact with them
TO think of more than 100000 home
less people, and a death list of nearly
5000 is appalling.
No sooner had the news of the
Omaha tornado reached the ears OF
the public, when the press wires an
nounced that the rivers in Ohio and
Indiana were on rampage The
lists thus far compiled show that
Omahas dead will reach about 200
and the property loss about $40, 000,-
900. The dead as result of the
flood will reach about 1000 and the
property loss at this time cannot be
estimated.
Bemidji joins with the rest of the
country in the sympathy that is be-
ing given the unfortunates. Should
the state of Minnesota ask for con-
ributions to aid these people. Be-
midji will be found responding with
the others.
