Chicago, May 2.—Rioting and blood shed in all parts of the city, resulting in the death of one man and the in jury of scores of others, marked the progress of the teamsters' strike to day. While the strike did not spread to any new establishments the mobs seemed to throw all restraint to the winds and attacks were made on non union drivers with a recklessness that stunned the police. One man was clubbed almost to death within a square of police head quarters. Four miles away men were shot down in the streets. At a hundred places between these two extremes of distance there were assaults and fights in the streets. Blood was shed in State street, in the heart of the fash ionable shopping district, and furious riots took place almost in the door ways of the leading hotels of Chicago. Nonunion men were pelted with stones, bricks and almost every other conceivable sort of missiles. They were dragged from their wagons, beaten, clubbed and stamped upon. The mobs followed the wagons on which they rode and but for the splen did service rendered by the police force the list of dead would be twenty instead of one. In return the nonunion men, though hopelessly outnumbered in every con flict, fought desperately. In several instances they drew their revolvers and emptied them into the crowds that pressed around their wagons, pelting them with stones and threatening their lives. The colored drivers, especially, were quick with their weapons. BOWEN CALLED HOME MU3T EXPLAIN CHARGES AFFECT ING ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF 8TATE LOOMIS.
