WANTS SKIP STOP
SYSTEM ENDED

The East Chicago board OF works, up
on request of the chamber OF commerce
and other citizens. has ordered the H.
W. & f. c. street railway company to
discontinue the skip stop system on its
lines in that city.
The objection to the plan came most
~ from residents who live on the north
and south streets where the blocks are
long and where the plan of stopping
only at every block has been a decided
Inconvenience.
During the war, the plan was accept
ed without complaint as a measure OF
conservation of time and energy but
now that the war has closed, the de-
nand once more is for service as good
as can be secured. The action was
taken by the board a couple Of weeks
ago but through an error the notice was
not sent TO the officials of the company
until today
The elimination Of the skip stops will
probably be put into operation within
the next few days. The company OBJ
jects TO the plan Of cutting out the
skip stops on account Of the delays
which IT brings about in the running
schedule.

BUFFALO,, n. Y, Oct S.-State
troopers armed with rifles patrolled the
streets of Lackawanna today 1t was
the first time since being assigned to
duty in the steel strike area that the
constabulary had carried arms other
than clubs and revolvers. Trains and
street ears carrying workmen from Buff
falo ran under armed guard. This show
of force prevented a renewal of at
tacks on trolley cars carrying workmen
which yesterday resulted in the wound
ing of several men.
There was evidence of increasing ac-
tivity in the plants of the Lackawanna
Steel Co. and the state police estimated
that 1000 men passed through the
gates this morning About 5000 men
were employed when the strike was de-
clared.

THREAT TO ITALY

ROME, Oct 7.-Much excitement in

Britain and the United States to Italy
with regard TO the situation at Fiume
1t is declared that the warning from
England stated in effect that if the
'present Illegal situation at Fiume
should continue Italy would run the
risk of being put out of the alliance and
the peace conference and that it was re
ceivcd a few days after similar warn
ing from the United States

alone responsible for the Fiume situa :
ton and incidentally attacks what it
calls the preponderance of President
Wilson in the peace conference and the
alleged inability or unwillingness of
the allies 10 limit it. President Will

No Threat from United States.

WASHINGTON, Oct S.-The American
government is understood to have made
no threat nor delivered any warning in
Italy in connection with the Fiume situa
alton except in so far as it has participat-
ed in the joint representations made by
the supreme council at Paris to the Ital-
ian government. In informed circles
here it was said today that even such
representations as emanated from the
council could scarcely be termed warn
ing, being nothing more than reminders
of the obligations that each of the four
great powers had assumed in the settle
ment of the Adriatic question.
1t is understood that the Duke of Aosta
probably will be sent by Italy, clothed
with the powers of a joint allied com
missioner to take charge of the city
pending its ultimate disposition While
the duke is calming the population and
maintaining order time will be afforded
for an adjustment of the conflicting
claims of the Italians and the Jugo- -Slavs
to Fiume, which it is believed in some
quarters here may take the form of the
construction of another and better port
than Fiume near Broccia to satisfy the
Jugo- -Slav demand for access to the
Adriatic
