ONE KILLED; MANY
HURT IN 4 BATTLE
WITH OIL STRIKERS

BAYONNE, N. j., Oct. 12.-One man
was killed and at least score wound
ed. two Of them so seriously they are
not expected to live, in a pitched bat
tie here late to-day between striking
employees Of the Standard Oil Compa-
ny and the police. The fight was the
elimination of a series of disturbances
that began Wednesday and continued
throughout last night and to-day.
New Jersey militiamen, back from
duty along the Mexican border, who
were sworn in as special policemen,
aided in dispensing the rioters, who
were terrorizing the city by looting
and burning.
Half dozen sheds overlooking the
oil refneries were set on fire before
the authorities were able to restore a
semblance of order by firing volleys
of rife and pistol shots into the ranks
of the strikers and their sympathizers.
Isidor Natilsky, % years old, law
yer, who had no part in the rioting
late to-day, was the man killed. He
was shot through the back, it was
said, while running from the scene of
the battle, and fell dead.
TWO viii Die.
Harris Martin, 10 years old, by
stander, was shot through the right
lung, and will probably die, according
70 physicians.
Edward Green. 80 years old, was
shot through the left lung. He also
probably will die.
Five others are in hospitals suffer
ing from wounds, but are expected to
recoyed. The police report that more
than dozen strikers and their SYM
pathizers who were injured were car
ried to their homes
AS far as could be learned, none Of
the policemen or militiamen was hurt.
A fireman was shot and wounded ear
lier in the day while attempting to at
tach a hose to a hydrant in an effort
10 drive away an unruly crowd
Reinforced by the militiamen to-day,
the police took 80 strikers prisoner
and started TO raid the saloons which
had defed the order to close As the
advance guard entered the strike zone
they we're met by missiles from roofs
and dCorways. They immediately
opened fire, which was returned by the
strikers and their sympathizers.
The latter, enraged by the. fight
with the police Wednesday night, in
which one woman was killed and many
OF their number wounded, had an
nounced that the police who attacked
them would come back in boxes"
So serious had the situation become
tonight that the Bayonne Business
Mems Association announced its mem
oers would close all their stores dur
ing tue continuance of the strike.

from the effects of the heavy fogs
which fall upon the Kanawha valley
during the morning hours. The order

She apparently followed in the wake
of the freight laden Pannonia and Min

after clearing the bar. They were the
first vessels to leave New York for
European ports since the submarine
raid Of Sunday.
No British or French cruisers which
might act as :onvOTS were sighted TO-
day although il was believed they
might pick up the Adriatic after she
was forced to Leave the three mile linn

the two British freighters might be
significant. There were four Ameri-
cans among the 3S passengers in the
Adriaiic's first cabin. Two other Amer

abroad. There were los passengers in

WILSON SPEAKS At
ROAD Celebration
IN INDIANAPOLIS
Continued on Page Ten.)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. IL
President Wilson to-day replied 10 the
Republican charge that the Democrat
ic party is a sectional party, with the
statement that 'any man who reVlYeS
the issue of sectionalism in this couno
try is unworthy Of the confidence OF
the nation"
to address meetings of good roadS ao-
yocates and farmers, review an auto
mobile parade celebrating good ROADS
day of the Indian Centennial, and at
tend a ron-partisan lunch of leading
Indianians. He was seen by crowds
which hacked the streets for blocks
In his first set speech he spoke or the
good done b. highways in preventing
sectionalism.
"Mv fellow citizens" he continued,
al need not tell you that did not come
here to talk politics, but there IS one
thing that is pertinent in this connec-
tion which I cannot deny myself the
privilege of saying Any man who re-
wives the issue OF secuonalsm IN this
country is unworthy Of tho confidence
of the nation. He shows himself q
provincial; ne shows that he himself
does not know the various sections or
his own country; he shows that ne mas
shut his own heart up in a little prov
ince, and that those who do not seek
the special interests of that province
are to him sectional, while he alone
is national. That is the depth OF anti
patriotic feeling"
At both meetings the Presidents ad-
dresses were interrupted frequently by
applause, and hand-clapping marked
his progress through the streets.
The Coliseum at the Fair Grounds,
where ne delivered his first address,
had many vacant seats in the rear,
but the hall in which he spoke later
was filled. He also spoke briefly at a
luncheon given him by Governor and
Mrs. Samuel NJ Ralston, Of Indiana.
The second set speech was devoted
to Il discussion of the works of the
Democratic administration for the far
mers Of the nation.
The President left here at 5:45
o'clock this afternoon for Long Branch,
n. J., where he will arrive tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock.

1t was the accident of war in
Europe which then prevented retri-
button for the policies of the admin
istratlon in Mexico.
When the war is ouer those
nations UiN again press their
claims and ye r0iu face the con-
sequences of the Wilson policy
of Datchful Yaiting.
Have we sunk so low that we can
approve such policy? Have we
become 50 morally flabby that we
will tolerate its continuance
This administration has created
war. 1t has created causes for
future serious international friction.
Notes and uOords and shades
Of meaning born of rhetoric
rather than Straightforward pa
triOtic sincerity, haze marked
the course of our relations NTH
foreign nations.
Force Of character, a fair and
honorable course, would haveclosed
the debate which facility of1anguage
kept open. Force Of character
would have stopped murder on the
high sea.
Does the low estate into which
we have fallen among nations make
a foundation upon which to build
prestige for this country or safety
and moral staminaforour children?'
1t is our tradition to honorably
keep out Of war but not to spine
lessly creep into war.
