RAILROAD FERRIES
ON HUDSON TIED UP
Union Calls Out Creps on All
Boats at Midnight.

The crews of all of the ferryboats OPP
Grated across the Hudson River by the
United States Railroad Administration
walked out on strike last night just be-
fore midnight, about the time the last
boats we're TO leave the various ferry
slips. In most cases the walking dele
gates OF the unions waited until the
boats had been unloaded of the incom-
ing passengers and vehicles and the out
going passengers had embarked and
the boat would not leave They refused
to give the passengers any information,
only saying:
There is a tie-up; you'll have to go
over by the tubes"
One of the walking delegates, how
ever; who called out the ferryboat men
at the Cortlandt street ferries OF the
West Shore, the Central of New Jersey
and the Pennsylvania. said that the
strike was the outcome of trouble with
the Lehigh Valley Railroad over work.
ing hours. The railroad, 1t was said by
the union men, wanted to work the tug
boat and ferryboat men ten hours a day
and yesterday laid off the crews of seven
tugboats. In a statement, however, the
railroad declared that this was done
because there was nothing for the boat
men TO do owing to the longshoremen's
strike. The union men asserted that
the Lehigh Valley laid off the men be-
cause of the trouble over the ten hour
day.
None of the union officials who could
be found about the ferry slips would
tell what the strike was about other
than that They did say. however, that
all of the railroad boats would be af-
fected and that efforts would be made
to prevent any railroad ferries from
operating across the Hudson. Hundreds
OF passengers who had depended on the
ferries to get them to their trains in
Jersey City and Hoboken were COM
PEELED to spend the night in Manhattan
or else 60 across the tubes and take
later trains.

that to Spain belongs the honor
of making known to the world
the existence of Western
continent.
The Welsh and the Nor
wegians at one time antagonized
the claims of Columbus, but
their discoveries, based upon
uncertain data. proved to be the
Azorean Islands and the coun-
try about the Gulf of St. Law
renee, and they made no use of
them.
The voyage of Columbus,
which Ferdinand and Isabella,
the sovereigns of CASTLE and
Aragon, permitted, began on the
ard of August, I4o2 and on the
I2th of October following the
first land appeared.
After great urgency at the
Court of the Spanish King and
Queen the persuasive Columbus
got the consent of the hesitating
Queen, when she said
II undertake the enterprise
for my own crown of CASTLE,
and will pledge my private
jewels to raise the necessary

Therefore, it is not to be for

Fourth Night Of Warfare at
Washington Less Violent.
One White Man Killed.
1900 TROOPS ON GUARD
Blacks Aggressive - Pool
rooms and Theaters Closed.
Crowds Kent Moving.

Wash ingt on, July 23.-The
fame Of race hatred in the national
capital has been about fickered out,
according to the local authorities.
Although there was sporadic firing
of fire arms in some Of the negro dis
tricts until early this morning, the
major casualties in last nights
clashes between whites and negroes
killed and another probably fatally
wounded. Scores were injured in
varying degrees as a result of blows
from fsts, clubs and stones and the
welding of knives, but in none of
these cases were the wounds expected
to be fatal.
Isaac B. Halbfnger was killed and
Benjamin Belmont was seriously
wounded while doing duty in a negro
district as members of the home de-
tense league.
Despite the fact the capital was an
armed camp, the fourth night of the
race warfare was less violent than
Monday, when four persons were
killed outright and nearly a dozen
seriously wounded Feeling, which
was infamed by reported attacks
upon Whites Dy negroes, was no less
bitter, but an all night rain and the
presence of 1000 heavily armed SOL
diers, marines and sailors doing duty
with the 700 police and several humid
red home defense guards acted as a
deterrent upon organized mob vio-
lence.
The closing of pool rooms, moving
picture houses and other places
where crowds of negroes might be
expected to gather. and the policy of
the police and military to keep every
body moving, enabled the authorities
to keep the situation well in hand.
Following a conference between
Secretary Baker and President Will
son late yesterday, force of about
1000 troops under the command of
Maj Gen. Ham, recently returned
from overseas service, was ordered
to Washington from Camp Meade
and other nearby points. This force
is expected to remain on duty until
the wave of lawlessness has burned
out and normal conditions restored.
