There is no doubt that the casualty
lists of the race war were kept down
by the fact that the strike of the
street car men was coincident with
the riots. Not a surface or elevated
car was running and 1t was compare
lively easy for the authorities to keep
out of the riot district the trouble and
curiosity seekers. The strike, which
had been impending for some time,
was precipitated suddenly by the rad
zeal element In the car mems unions, a
compromise offer of the companies, ap-
proved by the state and city authori-
ties and the heads of the unions, be-
ing rejected Though seriously ham
pered in getting to its work and In
transacting business, the public took
the situation good naturally and made
its way to the business district and
home again with rather remarkable
facility. All manner of motor We
hicles were pressed into service and
the steam roads exerted every effort
10 carry their many thousands of extra
passengers. The demand of the car
men for a heavy increase in wages
did notNit{& general sympathy, for II

Nearly Two Score Are Killed in
War Between Whites and
Blacks in Chicago.
STATE TROOPS CALLED OUT
Street Car Men Strike at Same Time
Urgency Of Action to Cut Living
Cost Impressed on Govern
ment-Status Of Peace
Treaty Contest.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARp.

Race riots and strikes made Chicago
the news center of the country for the
week, and the news from it was SEN
sational and plentiful. Starting In a
trifing quarrel over the color line"
at a bathing beach, a real race war
sprang up with startling suddenness
and quickly spread throughout the
South side Of the city, where most Of
the negroes live, and thence to the
downtown business district, with spo-
radio outbreaks In other regions. Be
fore the authorities got the situation
under control nearly two score per-
sons had been killed and several hun
dred wounded. For several days the
mayor insisted the police could re-
store order, but realization Of his mis-
take was forced on him and he called
on the governor for assistance from
the state militia. Several regiments
at once occupied the "black belt"
However, the establishment Of martial
law was avoided and thus the city
Saved its face"

SAM A. WANTS ALL
THE CATS TAXED
Makes Plea for This limo.
yation Before the Board
of Affairs.

Sam r. Nuzum well known real e..
tate man and one Of the most ardent
lovers OF nature In the city, appearing
before the City Board of Affair yes-
terday relative to some sanitary mat
tiers which needed attention.. made a
strong plea that cats be taxed the
same as'doss and stated that he hoped
the West Virginia legislature would
soon pass Q law placing a state las
on cats.
Mr. Nuzum stated that he could see
no reason why cats which were much
more undesirable than dogs should not
be taxed and thus any person desiring
70 keep one Of these animals could do
30 BY paying the tax and this would
90 away with hundreds OF robber cats
which tnfest the country who have no
real homes and are not properly cared
for or fed. ~
MT. Nuzum also stated that when he
read In The West Virgfnian a short
Time ago where some scoundrel had
snot cardinal that he thought SER
iously for while OF offering a reward
for his capture and have him brought
to Justice for breaking the law I'm
shooting this feathered songster.
Mr.. Nuzum recently published h
statement In which he warned the pub.
lie that any cat found trespassing on
hds property would be Instantly shot
and stated that the statement has had
good effect as he has not had the pleas
ure OF shooting cat since that time.
Mr.. Nuzum who has a beautiful place
on Locust avenue, we'll shaded, has
scores OF native birds on his place and
does everything possible to encourage
them to stay and to protect them from
cats and other pests. He told OF a
pair OF cardinals that had been at his
place for two years and last year had
raised three broods Of young birds only
to have one entire brood eaten by the
cats.
A. ]. Kern, city clerk and a member
OF the state legislature stated that he
bad found in discussing the matter at
the recent session that the cat had
about as many friends as the bird and
asked to be told a remedy for rats
should the cats be killed. Some one
suggested rough on rats and It was
pointed out that cats did not really
kali many rats anyway.
