Strike leaders charged over.zealous

Partial resumption of service on
the elevated roads went into effect
shortly before eight o'clock this
morning with union crews in charge.

Sweet Music.
CHICAGO. June 16.-The rumble
Of surface cars and the roar of ele-
waited trains that were running on full
service schedule at noon today wal
the sweetest music leg weary and
Chicagoans have heard
in two days that seemed that many
years.
The noon hour marked the formal
end to the strike Of 1880 motormen
and conductors, which had sent Chi
cago back fifty years in methods OF
street transportation. Throughout
the strike some cars were run over
elevated tracks. but there were no
except policemen and
guards until last night when some Of
the more courageous took a chance.
Excepting a dozen or SO mail cars,
not a surface car wheel had turned
until 10 a. m. today. Shortly befors
the service was resumed, strike lead
ers and traction company officials put
their signatures to an agreement to
arbitrate This agreement left the
matter of wages alone to be adjusted
by the arbiters who will comprise one
man to be selected by the employees,
one to be named by the companies
and Mayor Thompson, whose cowboy
tactics and forceful personality all
Chicago conceded was chiefly respons-
ible for bringing about peace after a
sruelling all night session at the city
hall.
The first surface cars to pass
the loop were the signals fo-
a demonstration from the thousands
who packed the sidewalks. Every
and conductor wore an
flag pinned to his coat and
larger flags foated from the front
platform.

were evidently to lock Mr. Smiley in
1t. He then ordered Mr.. Smiley to
turn around and just as he did this
the burglar struck him a terrific blow
in the back Of the head, knocking him
to the floor and rendering him un-
conscious.
Just how long he was unconscious
Mr.. Smiley is unable to state, but re-
gaining consciousness he dazedly made
his way to the hotel lobby where the
clerk called a physician and notified
the police.
There was quite an ugly scalp wound
inflicted in Mr.. Simley's head from
which he bled quite freely and the
manner in which the blow was dealt
is an additional evidence that the
thief was an old hand in crime, the
blow being sufficient to render the
victim unconscious without causing a
fatal or very serious wound. 1t is
also evident that the thief desired to
injure his victim only as last re-
sort, it being the belief that he first
intended to chloroform him and then
to lock him in the toilet when no
maens Of administering the anaesthe-
tic were found available.
Took Only Currency.
After knocking his victim uncons-
cious the yeggman evidently hurried to
the SOFA FOUNTAIN CaSn register WHERE
there was considerable money. How
ever the only cash taken was the
$50 in bills, all the silver being left in
the drawer. The burglar either ov-
erlooked the large cash register, on the
other side Of the room, or was rushed
for time, fearing detection, as this
register was not opened although
there was considerable money in 1T.
There are no clues as to the guilty
party although the police have been
securing the town for him. There is
only one other incident that may or
may not have been connected with the
crime. This is that the police learned
that e rather small man changed his
clothing in an old shed near n. p
avenue couple of blocks west Of the
city hail yesterday afternon. A pedes.
trfan along N. P. avenue saw the man
changing his clothing but thought
nothing of 1t until he later learned
that there had been a holdup.
The police secured every box car In
the yards OF the railroads and made
trip to the ''jungles" but were un-
able to round up anyone that ans
wered the description of the man
who held up Mr.. Smiley.

London, Sept. 6--The Allan line
steamship Hesperian was torpedoed at
1920 o'clock Sunday night of the south
coast of Ireland, one hundred miles
southeast OF Fastnet. Approximately
$50 passengers were on board, one or
two Of them Americans.
The steamer did not sink at once and
proceeded under convoy toward
Queenstown, to which port most Of the
passengers and crew were taken BY
rescue steamers summoned by wireless
calls for help.
Passengers landed at Queenstown
asserted that the attack was made
| without warning. The United States
embassy here has not yet received any
information on this point. The Am
erican counsel at Queenstown tele-
graphed the embassy, however, that
there were one or two Americans
aboard, adding that none was lost.
The Hesperian, a vessel OF 10.920
tons gross, was outward bound from
Liverpool for Montreal. Many Of the
passengers were wounded Canadian
soldiers on their way home from the
front
Early reports from Queenstown were
that there were fifty passengers in the
hrst cabin, $50 in the second and ESQ
In the third, but 1t later was announc-
ed that the Allan line ofices in LIVER
pool that the passengers numbered
only about $50. There were approx
mately ESQ in the crew.
The attack upon the Hesperian came
tust as darkness was falling.
Passengers who have reached Queens
town express the belief that she had
been chased for some distance by a
submarine, which fired as soon as 1t
was within range. The attack came
so suddenly, 1t was stated, that great
alarm was felt aboard the steamer.
The torpedo struck the Hesperian
forward of the engine room, tearing
away the forward part so that water
rushed into the forward compartments.
The wireless operator instantly sent
out call for aid, while Captain Main
ordered the boats over the side. Three
Of them are said to have been upset
in launching and twenty persons who
were injured have been landed at
Queenstown. So far aS known. all
those thrown into the water were
saved.
/ A fleet Of rescue steamers soon
reached the scene and all the persons
In the small boats were taken aboard.
When 1T was seen that the Hesperian
was likely to remain afioat for some
time. Captain Main insisted upon re-
turning to his ship to await the ar
rival OF admiralty tugs, which he
hoped would be able to take her safe
