CHICAGO TRANSFERS RIOT
Unexpected Strike Ties Up Coal, ice
and Freight.

Chicago, May 15.-One man was
shot and slightly wounded and half a
hundred others were severely beaten
yesterday in disorders resulting from
the strike of 1000 teamsters and
truck drivers, who demand wage in
creascs averaging about 81 a week.
William Shannon, driver of a wagon
loaded with war material, was slightly
wounded by a bullet believed to have
been fired from a strikers pistol, and
number of clashes between pickets
and teamsters who refused to strike
were reported.
Employers of the strikers held two
meetings yesterday. It was asserted
that the strike came without warning
and that Federal mediation will prob
ably be asked. The most serious phase
of the strike situation, it was said
lay in the fact that continued idleness
on the part of the strikers might re,
suit in costly congestion of freight al
local terminals.
Officials of the Truck Drivers Union
and International Brotherhood OF
Transfers declared the strike had been
called by local leaders without their
knowledge.
Delivery of coal, ice, freight, build.
ing material and many other commod!'
ties was 'paralyzed. The teamsters ant
truck drivers are we'll organized
throughout the city. Their action
caught employers completely of
guard.

HEARD IN ALEXANDRIA
How Bad Backs Rave Been Made
Strong--kidney Ills Corrected.

All over Alexandria you hear 1t.
Doan's Kidney Pills are keeping up
the good work. Alexandria people are
telling about it-telling of bad backs
made sound again. You can believe
the testimony of your own townspeo-
pie. They tell it for the benefit of Eo"
who are suffering. If your back aches,
if you feel lame, sore and miserable,
if the kidneys act too frequently, or
passages are painful, scanty and off
color, use Doan's Kidney Pills, the
remedy that has helped so many of
your friends and neighbors. Follow
this Alexandria citizens advice and
give Doan's chance TO do the same
for you.
J. B. Mills, marine engineer, 212 S.

NO MORE 'sFAVORED NATIONS"
British Action Deemed Step Against
Germany.

London, May Is. = Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the EXchequer,
made an important announcement in
the House of Commons Monday, the
Times says, when, in reply to ques-
ton by Sir Edward Carson, he said the
British Government intended to adopt
a policy similar to the French govern
ment in denouncing all commercial
conventions containing a general
clause regarding "nosC favored ma
tions."
Such step, the Times declares in
it's editorial comment, will leave Great
Britain free in matters of fiscal policy.
Up to this time the United Kingdom
has been bound by commercial treaties
with allied and neutral countries guar
anteeing reciprocal "most favored ma
ton" treatment in fiscal matters.
Washington, May 15.-As there is
no commercial treaty between Ameri-
ca and Great Britain, the announced
purpose Of the British government
to denounce all such conventions where
they contain the most favored nation
clause will have no direct effect upon
the commerce of the United States.
Tariff experts here pointed out today
that Great Britain always has volun-
tarily conceded favored-nation treat
ment to American imports.
It is learned in official quarters that
the announcement in the House OF
Commons by Andrew Bonar Law is a
step in the development of the idea
that the nations now fighting the Cen
trail Powers on the field of battle must
join hands to maintain their indus
tries intact against Germanic aggres-
sion in the after-the-war commercial
struggle.
President Wilson himself has warned
Germany that she cannot expect to
reap the advantages of unrestricted
commercial intercourse with America
if she persists in the policies main
tanned by the present military regime.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT DEAD
Editor of the New York Herald Victim
Of Pneumonia.

Beaulieu, France, May 15.-James
Gordon Bennett, proprietor Of the
New York Herald, died at $50 o'clock
Yesterday morning after having been
unconscious for two days. Ills death.
was caused by pneumonia.
Mr.. Bennett was born in New York
city May 10, 1S41. When seventy
three years old, in 1914, he married in
Paris the Baroness de Reuter-, widow
of George julius de Reuter-, son OF
the founder of Reuters Limited,
British Geographic news service. The
baroness was then about forty years
old and the mother Of two children.
She was formerly an American, Maud
Potter, daughter of John Potter, OF
Philadelphia. On the day before his
marriage Mr.. Bennett was baptized in
the Episcopal church. His father was
a Catholic, having studied for the
priesthood.
One of the most sensational events
in James Gordon Benefits life was
his duel in 1881 with Frederick May,
a member of the well-known Mary
land family of that name. The trou-
BILE grew out of the reported engage
ment of May to Mr.. Benefits sister.
The match was broken off, and an
angry interview took place between
the two men in the Union Club in New
York city. A blow was dealt by May,
and a challenge from Bennett was the
sequel. May accepted, and the duelists
and their seconds departed for neu-
trail territory on the borders of Penn
sylvania, Delaware and Maryland.
Whether the duel took place has
since been a subject of conjecture. The
seconds of Mr.. Bennett, however,
averred that May fired before the sig
nal was given. The ball went wide of
the editors anatomy, and then the lat
ter fired into the air. At this point.
according to some stories, the curtain
was rung down upon the affair Of
honor and the duelists fled. The Della
ware authorities took cognizance Of
the duel and claimed jurisdiction over
the offense. Warrants were issued, but
neither party agreed to go back and
explain matters.

CALLED KAISER INSANE
Might Have to Be Locked Up, Said
Iron Chancellor to Felix Dahn, Ger
man Historian.

Washington, May 15-Long-distance
alienists here who say the kaiser is
actually scientifically insane have
frst-class German Endorsement for
their belief.
Bismarck himself was convinced
that Wilhelm was crazy.
The iron chancellor knew the kaiser
from his childhood and knew the secret
family history and family malad:es of
the Hohenzollerns.
Some time before his death Bis
marck confded to his friend, Felix
Dahn, distinguished German historian
and lawyer, that the kaiser was a
lunatic. He intimated that he might
have to be locked up. eff the worst
comes to the worst" said Bismarck,
"and it should become necessary to
put him under restraint, my successor
will have more difficult task than
would have fallen to my lot. For. I
feel sure the German people would
have trusted me-"
The kaiser is endowed with the SUI
perhuman cunning that has character
lied many of the famous paranoiacs
and epileptics who have been world
leaders.
Another German Chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe, said:
"Far from being the sincerely re-
ligious man which human stupidity
has credited him with being, he is the
coolest nationalist, the greatest ego
fist and the most ungrateful person I
ever came across"
Another German chancellor, Won
Buelow, who had so much trouble with
the kaiser because of his habit of "but-
ting in" on diplomatic situations with
personal kilograms like the famous
Kruger Dispatch dispatch which al
most brought Britain and Germany to
blows in the 90s-gave hint in the
Reichstag that he was irresponsible.
When Beulow was being attacked
for allowing the kaiser to commit SO
many dangerous indiscretions, he said:
eff you only know what I prevent"
Popes Leo sNIIIsEas one of the great
world figures who came into contact
with the kaiser when he was young
man. The Holy Fathers estimate of
him is perhaps the most interesting of
all. Here it is:
"This young man is obstinate and
vain, and it is to be feared that his
reign, will terminate in disaster"

He secured another situation
there, and again manfully did his
best for his family, which by this
time had been increased by the
arrival Of the baby.
But among old associations, and
with her mother at hand to rely
upon for assistance in the house

more and more her domestic re-
