The Fourth Of July death list
this year was as under 1923, the re-

Fierce Fighting


NEW ORLEANS, July 5-(P)-
After a night of fierce hand to hand
fighting between strike sympathiz-
ers and workers in which one man
was probably fatally shot and more
than 200 slightly hurt, New Orleans
public service inaugurated the op-
Grafton Of street cars on eight desig-
mated lines today with crews un-
der protection of policemen armed
with pistols and sawed-off shotguns.
Three patrolmen accompanied
each car taken out of the barns
while heavy details were assigned
to the car barns where the workers
are housed in an effort to prevent
further outbreaks of open warfare
between strike Sympathizers and
several hundred street car opera
tors brought into New Orleans last
night.
Brickbat Storming and pistol fir
ing in riots at the Canal street and
the Arabella barns caused II arrests
but the men weer freed Of charges
Of disturbing the peace late in the
night when hailed into court. Scores
who participated in battle Of a
thousand men and police at the
Canal street barn when the COM
pany sought to transport hundred
workers to the barn suffered lac
erations and contuSions that re-
quired hospital treatment.
Joseph Morliriero, striker, who
fell with bullet wound in the neck
during the general battle which
lasted for a quarter Of an hour,
was not expected to live.
The disturbance at the Arabella
barn was quelled by an army of
policemen who emerged bloc d
smeared after a 45-minute round
with the rioters. Stones, bricks and
other missiles hurled by the mob
and free use of police sticks ac-
counted for the major part OF the
injuries and broke out windows in
the car barns, though fists figured
in the clashes.
Public service officials decided to
dump into the Mississippi river sew
eral car line switches they tounc
solidly cemented rather than risk
opening the boxes.
The flame was famed into huge
proportions shortly after union Off
cials transmitted to public service
their rejection of the ultimatum by
the company that the strikers must
return to work last night by s O'Clock
under the terms Of the company's
proposed contract or the street cars
would be manned and operated
without them.
The union men declared the con-
tract failed to grant the proper rec
ognition to the employees Crganiza-
ton in that the union was not given
voice of arbitration on suspensions
and diSmiSsalS of workers.

MISTAKES HOUSE;
GETS FATAL WOUND
Harry Cauck, 27, Dies Here
After Being Shot at
Croome, Md.

Harry Cauck, q years old, of Foun-
tain, Va, died at Providence Hospital
shortly before noon today of gunshot
wounds, said to have been inflicted by
a colored resident of Croome, Md,
early this morning. who is believed tc
have mistaken him for burglar.
Maryland authorities were told that
Cauck was shot by Tom Butler, 80 years
old, living on the highway near Croome,
when the white man was alleged to have
thrown up a window of Buffers home
and entered unannounced, presumably
in quest of some gasoline for his auto
mobile.
Cauck, in company with two boys
whose names were given as "Jett," left
Croome this morning about 2 o'clock
on their way to Virginia. They were
said to have run out of gasoline on
the highway near Buffers house and
Cauck went in search of a filling sta
ton.
He is thought to have mistaken But
ler's home for that Of an acquaintance
and was almost inside, police say, when
met by charge from a shotgun at
close range, falling inside the house.
Cauck was brought to Providence
Hospital, where he was found to have
been suffering from wound in the
left armpit and a second in the head
He was so badly injured that authori-
ties could not gain his version of the
affair.
The dead man had been visiting
Charles Mouldin. Immediately after
the shooting, Constable John Wilson of
Croome was notified and conducted a
thorough investigation.
Butler was expected to be taken to
Upper Marlboro today for questioning
in the case, although no formal charges
have been filed against him.

LABOR OUTLINES
FOREIGN POLICIES
Liberal Support of Disarma-
ment Assured Government
of Macdonald.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 5-Sir Austen Cham
berlain, former foreign secretary, speak
| ing in the House of Commons, today
said that his side of the House earnest
ly desired the negotiations on naval
disarmament in which the government
| now was engaged with the United
States would come to a successful con-
clusion.
II believe myself we can best con-
tribute by refraining from public dis
cussion at this stage in matters which
must be treated privately in the first
instance if they are to produce full re-
Suits" said Sir Austen. 81, therefore,
confine myself to wishing from the bot
tom of my heart success to the task"
Foreign Secretary Henderson, in re-
plying to Sir Austen, passed over the
latter's reference to the disarmament
discussions with the United States by
merely thanking the former secretary
for the generous manner in which he
had dealt with the matter in the
debate.
Wants Evacuation.
Referring to the Rhineland, the new
Laborite foreign secretary said that
evacuation as expeditiously as possible
was essential in fairness to Germany,
who, so far as he was able to see, has
carried out the whole conditions I'M
posed on her by the treaty of Versailles
and was, therefore, entitled to evacua-
ton.
At the same time, while Great Britain
should make unmistakably clear that
evacuation should occur as soon as pos
sible, he was convinced and agreed with
his predecessor in Office that it would
not be in the interest of the peace of
Europe if this step were taken by de-
greeS and stages.
Great Britain, he said, should try to
get the French and Belgian govern
ments to take this step with Britain,
and he did not anticipate any serious
difficulty being placed in the way by
those governments.
Opens Russian Question.
Dealing with Russia, Mr.. Henderson
said that the only step that the gov
ernment had taken was to get into ne
gotiationS with the dominions as to the
method the government would adopt.
That would, to some extent, depend
on the replies that the dominionS sent.
On the question of propaganda, Mr..
Macdonald in 1924 made clear that the
government was not going to tolerate
propaganda that interfered with the
internal affairs Of Great Britain or of
any of the dominions or of any part
of the British Empire. He had no
hesitation in saying that that was the
governments position today and it
would continue to be their position.
Mr.. Henderson continued that If their
Russian friends had proflted by the
experience of the last year or so and
were exceedingly anxious to get into
normal relations with the British COM
monwealth Of nations, he was prepared
to imagine they would be ready to give
a most definite undertaking and to see
it carried out.
If they did that, the British govern
ment was not entitled to expect more
and he hoped there would be unanimous
opinion In the House that the govern
