RIOTING
SERIOUS
United Press Leased Wire. /,


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. a.
A series of riots-the most seri-
GUS since the ear strike began.
broke out In various parts OF San
Francisco today. So serious did
the rioting become that Chief OF
Police White was forced to reor-
ganize the department, put the
policemen on 12-hour shifts and
put 200 more bluecoats on strike
duty.
Up to II o'clock 90 cars had
been practically wrecked.
At several points the rioters
got beyond the control OF the po-
lice and reserves were called from
central station. Emergency hos
pitfalls in the Mission district,
south of Market street, where all
the riots occurred, were kept busy
all morning receiving riot victims,
most of whom had been badly
beaten.
Heads Cracked.
The most serious riot was
staged directly in front of the
Labor Temple, where strikers had
gathered for a melting. Strike
leaders alIege that a United Rail-
roads car, filled with strikebreak-
ers and guards and followed by
several automobiles loaded with
guards, stopped in front of the
temple for the purpose of starting
trouble.
Immediately a fight started.
Strikers, who were preparing for
a meeting In the Labor Temple,
poured out of the building and
engaged in the fight. II is esti-
mated that 200 men participated
in this fight. during which heads
were cracked freely by both sides.
Half a dozen men were taken to
hospitals as result.
Cars Stalled.
While the police we're quelling
this disturbance another serious
riot began at oath and Folsom
sts., where three United Railroads
cars were stalled. The scenes In
front of the Labor Temple were
repeated here.
Meanwhile smaller disturbances
had broken out in other sections
of the Mission district with SINH
lar results.
The attention of the county
grand jury will be called to the
violence by District Attorney Flick
ert tonight.
The mayor and supervisors met
to discuss the proposal that the
city purchase the United Rail-
roads.

WASHINGTON. Aug. %. =
President Wilson today turned
his attention to framing a reply
to the pope's peace proposal. He
probably will have at least the
tentative draft ready for his cabi-
net Friday.
The statement of Chancellor
Michaelis before the reichstag
that Germany had no part in the
framing of the pope's peace pro-
posals had no effect here today
on action the United States may
take. The chancellor's pessimism
also caused little surprise.
Had Germany regarded thu
time propitlous for peace, she
would have made renewed pro-
posals herself, II is believed.
Regardless of whether the
pOpe's document was inspired by
Austria, or was advanced as a
purely neutral proposal. 1t does
not touch the fundamental prin-
ciples for which America is fight
ing.
Answers PacifiSt.
The first formal utterance from
any high official of the govern
ment, since the pope's peace pro-
pOsal was received, came today in
