.CHICAGO, April 7.— Chicago is again
In the throes of a struggle between
capital and the labor union*. As on
former occasions the unions have re
sorted to the use of the union teams
ters to bring them victory in the
struggle, which tonight promises to
spread to many branches of the team
ing. Industry of Chicago.
The present struggle had Its begin
ning In a strike several months ago of
a few hundred garment workers em
ployed in the mall order house of
Montgomery Ward & Co. The closed
shop la the Issue and In order to bring
the firm to the terms of the union a
strike of the 200 drivers and teamsters
employed by the concern was called
today.
.As has always been the case In the
past when the teamsters were called
mi to Hsslst. by a sympathetic strike,
the down-town streets of Chicago to
day were scenes of disorders which
followed fast on each other when an
attempt was made to deliver goods
with non-union drivers. Many teams
ters, garment workers and their friends
filled the streets and many clashes
with the police occurred. In several
Instances It was necessary for the po-
Illce to arrest a number of the belliger
ents j before the blockades could be
lifted.
May Involve Twenty Thousand Drivers
'-'In the belief of many labor leaders,
today's strike is the beginning of a
great contest 1 that may involve 20,000
drivers. •
The move against Montgomery Ward
& Co. is an opening wedge by which
teamsters hope to bring success to the
garment workers in an effort to es
tablish a closed shop. There are twen
ty-eight employing clothing makers in
the city and it is the purpose to ex-
I tend the teamsters' * Strike gradually
until It Includes all of the twenty-eight
firms. ('_■.. l '?!. : J;^:l
JThe indications are that the strike
will-n ot stop even then, but will in
volve many other branches of the
teaming industry.

Meyers to make the delivery. Meyera

hundreds of shouting men and boys.
'Whipping up his team, Philips dis
tanced his pursuers.
I ,'John Olson, a licensed expressman,

' boxes of goods, was set upon by the
pickets, who climbed to the seat and

DESPONDENT WIFE
COMMITS SUICIDE
MRS. JOSEPH LEHMAN SHOOTS
HERSELF
BROODS OVER ESTRANGEMENT
Falls to Effect Reconciliation, and the
Woman Takes Her Own Life,
Husband Stunned, Unable
to Make Statement
While In a fit of despondency brought
on by prolonged brooding over the es
trangement of herself and her husband
and her failure' to effect a'reconcilia
tion, Mrs. Ida Lehman of 1345 Rich
street' last night committed suicide by
shooting herself In the mouth. , The
bullet lodged In the, base of the brain.
The dead woman, was about 27 years
of age and had been married to Joseph
Lehman, who Is a letter carrier, about
three years. The couple lived at the
address given above since their mar
riage and. seemed happy until about-slx
months ago.
They tried to conceal their quarrel.
Even when Mrs. Lehman went to Ban
Francisco early In January and did not
return to Los Angeles until a week ago
the hUßband continued to rent the home
which they occupied and gave out that
she was visiting some of her relatives
In the northern city and would soon
return.
Neighbors Hear Shot
It developed last night that she had
no relatives In San Francisco, but as
that was her old home she had merely
gone there after the disagreement with
her husband.
A week ago she returned to their
home. During • her absence Lehman
had been living at the house but tak
ing his meals at the home of Ills
mother, who runs a small grocery store
on the corner of -Valencia and Pico
streets, which is in the same neighbor
hood.' Mrs. Lehman, the proprietor ctf
the store, has living apartments in the
rear of the store and at the time of ttw
shooting Joseph Lehman was calling on
his mother.
About 7:30 o'clock the neighbors heard
a .muffled shot and on Investigation
found Mrs. Lehman lying on the bej
In her room wllh blood running from
her mouth and a small caliber derrin
ger revolver clutched In her "right' hand;
She had put the point of the pistol int.?
her mouth and pulled the trigger, the
bullet penetrating the base of the bra! p.
Will Hold Inquest
The Information that his wife had
committed suicide by Bhooting herself
seemed to stun Lehman and for a tim«t
he could neither do nor say anything,
and could give no account of what hud
taken place previous to his leaving the
house a short time before the woman
took her life.
During the absence In San Francisco
of his wife Lehman had applied for a
divorce and It Is thought that his wife
had gone home again with the hope cf
affecting a reconciliation but had been
unsuccessful and took her life while
despondent.
The body was taken to Pierce Bros.'
morgue, where an inquest will be hel-J
this morning.

MUST HAVE INDEMNITY
Former Japanese Minister of Interior
Explains Position
LONDON, April 7.— Baron Suye
matsu, formerly Japanese minister of
the Interior, has written an Interesting
and significant article for the Outlook,
under the heudlng "War and Indemni

whole trend of the article Is intended
to show that Japan will carry on the
war until Russia consents to pay in-
demnlty.
The baron snys: "A canon of the
Japanese-Bushldo is 'one should not
sheath the sword unless one is totally
overcome or has secured equitable sat
isfaction for one's cause." This Is
our ideal in International intercourse.
The sword of Japan is drawn, and the
aim for which it was unsheathed has
scarcely been attulned. Wo want peace
which will Becure tranquillity In the
Far Kust for ut least a generation or
more.
"The world should know that In the
present war Japan staked her whole
existence, whereas, with the enemy,
It was a mere war of caprice. Why.
then, in case of defeat, should not Kub
blu be made responsible in equitable
accordance with the nature of the af
fair? I believe, therefore that. In case
of the adversary asking for peuce, the
satisfaction which she will have tc
make to Japan should Include making
good the material loss of Japan; In
other words, indemnity."

MURDERED MAN
IS IDENTIFIED
MUTILATED BODY IS THAT OF
ITALIAN LABORER
San Francisco Police Find Clues
• Which They Believe Will Lead
to Capture of Perpetrator .
■ of the Crime
By Associated Fren.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 7.— Positive
identification was given the dismem
bered remains found Wednesday night
at Vallejo and Powell streets and yes
terday afternoon oft Meiggs* wharf
when Peter Antonio Crespano Concello
called at the morgue tonight and de
clared . the mutilated body . to be that
Ms • half- brother;:; Rtagglo Vilardo,
an Italian laborer. Concello tells a
mysterious story of the disappearance
of his . brother, whom he saw for the
last time three weeks ngo. He also
gives Information. which the police be
lieve will lead to the speedy apprehen
sion of the murderer.
The first information that led to the
identity of the murdered man was
given to Captain of Detectives Burnett
by a member of the curious throng that
crowded about the morgue. Tbn
stranger said he believed a brother of
the deceased was employed as an oiler
at Sixteenth nnd Harrison streets.
With' this information as a clew,' D
etectives Harrison and Graham soon lo
cated Concello and took him with v
friend named Glacomo Llcursi to the
morgue. The moment the men rested
their eyes on the face of the deceased
they at once identified him.
The detectives found that Vilardo,
who was a native of Palermo, Sicily,
and 28 years tit age, had been living
In a roonr at 710 Montgomery avenue.
The apartment was found to be desert
ed and the few things found there did
not furnish the ' slightest clew. ■ An
effort is now being made to find the
last lodging place of the murdered
man, for it is there that the detectives
believe the crime was committed.
In telling the story of the events pre
ceding his brother's death, Concellc
said:
"It has been three weeks since I last
saw my brother. I missed him from
his customary lodging place and learned
that he had moved and was working
as a day laborer in Oakland.
"Just after the murder of Ouiseppl
Brogardo on January 21, a cousin of
the dead man, named Fertitta Bene
dlcto, and my • brother called on me
and made the requeM. that I furnish
some money to assist in defraying the
funeral expenses of the murdered
man. I refused to 'do so and they
went away. I also received a letter
from Benedlcto making a request for
money but I never compiled with It.
"I have not the slightest idea why
anybody should have borne enough en
mity against my brother to have mur
dered him." . ,i
