' CALL FOR TROOPS IN RIOT
St. Johns, N. B July 24. Fearing
resumption of serious riots which
yesterday marked the strike of street
car employes, the authorities today
asked for troops-from Halifax. To
day they were advised that a detach
ment of 110 men from the permanent
troops of the Halifax garrison were
being sent on a special train.
So far a number of street cars have
been destroyed and strikebreakers
stoned and injured by mobs on the
streets. Soldiers yesterday were
forced to charge a mob which gath
ered in Market Square and dragged
cars from the tracks.
MERELY AS A "CENSOR" .
Manager Gray of the Chicago
Beach Hotel says that his Teason for
building a high board fence around

Park and not to keep bathers off the
beach. A great storm of protest
since Judge Foell granted an injunc

management scared out and they are
willing to make a few concessions,
even though the court has "given
them part of Lake Michigan and its
shore."
