FEW JULY FOURTH
 ACCIDENTS HERE
Lasalle Street Man Seriously Injured By Exploding CannOn-Boys
 Shot in Hand.

Fourth of July accidents this year were comparatively few, only three victims of fireworks having been talk en to the hospital as a result of explo- slons and only one of these,~ George Gerginski of Lasalle street, who lost the thumb and first finger of his left hand when a cannon which he was pounding exploded, is considered now as serious. The other two victims were Douglas Kaskin of West Main street and Thomas Zelliga of Frank lin street, both shot in the hand. the former with a bullet and the latter with a blank pistol.
 Gerginski was loading the cannon preparatory to setting it off and had just finished the process of placing the powder in place and was filling the opening in the cannon mouth with wads when it exploded. His thumb and finger were ripped off and a bad gash was inflicted on his lip. A little girl who was standing directly over the cannon at the time escaped with out injury. Dr. D. w. O'Connell was called and ordered the injured man removed to the hospital and today anlputation of small parts of the fing- CTS remaining was found necessary. Several stitches were taken to close other injuries in Gerginskis left arm
 Both Zelliga and Karsl<in are rest ing comfortably today and no serious results from their mishap are antici- pated. The bullet was removed from Kaskin's hand this morning.

CITY OF FLORENCE
 SCENE OF RIO7ING
Disorders Are Increasing and Pillaging of Shops is
 Widespread.

Florence, July 4, (By the Associat- ed Press) ).-Caribneers fired on crowds here today. Disorders are in- creasing and the ransacking of shops is widespread. One dead and twenty injured was the total of the rioting to- day.
 Siren gthened by rowdies, the crowd is sacklng all shops without distinc- ton, destroying what it is unable to carry away. One entire street is flooded with petroleum, gasoline, wine, beer and olive oil. -r-..
 / Wherever the chamber Of labor is able to exercise authority goods are being transported to special ware houses under the red flag, even tram cars being pressed into this service. Large quantities of supplies are being turn ed over to the municipality in the Piazza Signoria, the chief square of the city. Money taken from shops is also being placed in the care of the municipality or the chamber of labor. Thousands of boxes of matches are be- ing distributed free to the crowds.
 The only shops respected by the rioters were those bearing the in- scription:
 This shop is at the disposal of the chamber of labor" The chamber of labor apparently has become the only authority to which the people pay any attention. It issues orders every little while. The automobiles and cabs per- mitted to use the streets must bear sign reading:
 Circulation allowed by chamber of 1abor"
 The local authorities seemingly have made no effort to oppose the chamber
 All the newspapers have suspended publication becouse of strike of printers The sale of newspapers of all other cities is prohibited.
 A manifesto issued by the chamber announced that all goods which had been sold at prices fixed by the govern ment would hereafter be hold at half that price. All other goods, including medicine, it was ordered should be sold at a reduction of 70 per cent from the previous price.
