The novel spectacle of cavalry
rattrirnr tbraueh Boston's narrow
streets was added to by a number of
Yankee division veterans who, In the
uniforms they wore In France, did
duty in the downtown streets.
One man declared that ho had
hough fighting In France to prevent
the very thing which was happening
in, Boston, hut that he joined the State
cavalry when his wife was insulted
by hbbdlums. The war veterans
among the cavalry Wore their steel
trench helmets, a sight which gave
rise to the rumor that Federal troops
had been called.
Up to early today the death toll
since the strike began was seven. It
;Ws estimated that more than 100 per
sons of both sexes were seriously In
jured by shdts and missiles, while
hundreds received minor injuries In

He was educated In the local public

many years Mr. Gadsby was engaged
in the grocery business here, after
which he gave most of his time to the
handling of real' estate securities.
It was in this latter business that
he came in contact with the bankers'

BALTIMORE, Sept. 12r The case
of W. W. Sasterday, who has been
under Indictment in Howard county
on a charge of manslaughter, grbw
ing out of the death of John Stallings,
who. it is alleged, was run down by
an automobile driven by Easterday
on the Washington road Ocotober 16.
1917, will not be tried at Elllcott
City. Joseph L. Donovan, State's at
torney for Howard county, made the
statement yesterday following an in
vestigation which is said to have dis
closed that the accident happened In
Baltimore county.
The charges were drawn against
Easterday by the Howard county au
thorities on the strength of a state
ment by & witness at the coroner's
inquest after the accident that the
spot where Stallings was killed is
ten miles from Baltimore.
A few days ago the witness is said
to have taken the authorities to the
place, which Is Just east of the Balti
more county line. State's Attorney
Donovan was in communication yes
terday with State's Attorney George
Hartman. of Baltimore county, and
Automobile Commissioner Baughman
with a view to transferring the Jur
isdiction. SAYS "VOODOO SPECIALIST"
GAVE HER STOLEN DRESS
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 12. "Go 'long,
dah, white folks, what yo'ali fol
lowln' me fuhr' was the remark
Mary Brooks, negress, handed to an
excited crowd of Jews who followed
her down Decatur street.
When Mary stopped in front of a
store she was the center of the ex
cited crowd, and when one of them
pointed to the "dress" she was -wearing,
she wanted to know what he
"would give her fuh it."
But the Jew didn't buy the robe.
Instead, he called the police, and
Mary is facing the charge of stealing
from a church. Mary's dress was a
Tales, or prayer robe, stolen from the
Congregation Ahaarth Achin In Pied
mont avenue.
Mary declared she had the dress
for several months; In fact, accord
ing to her story, it was given to her
by a voodoo specialist when she was
suffering from rheumatism. He told
her the dress would cure her and
protect her from harm when she
wore It.
NO WIGGLY DANCES
ALLOWED IN DALLAS
DALLAS, Texas. Sept. 12. Miss
Alecla Brown, public welfare director,
has put her stamp of disapproval on
the Bhlmmy, caterpillar wiggle, jelly
bean and straphanger dances. She
declares they are vulgar and inde
cent and has notified dance hall man
agers that they will be prosecuted If
they permit such "wiggling" on their
premises.
Miss Brown declares that the shim
my and other objectionable dances are
practiced more in the home of society
folks In Dallas than in the dance
halls, and says there should be some
means to reach these people and stop
dances which make the body shake
like a bowl of Jelly.
PRESIDENT CALLS
BOSTON POLICE
STRIKE 'CRIME'
"l want to say this, that a
strike of the policemen of a
great city, leaving that city at
tho mercy of an army or thugs,
is a crime against civilization. la
my Judgment the obligation of a
policeman Is as sacred and direct
as the obligation of a soldier. He
is a public servant, not a private
employe, and the whole honor of
the community Is in his hands. He
has no right to prefer any private
advantage to the public safety. I
hope that that lesson will be
burned In so that It will never
again be forgotten, because the
pride of America is that it can
exercise sef -control." President
Wilson, at Helena, Mont.

BUSINESS BOOM
IN 0. C. FORECAST
The District of Columbia will soon
develop into a manufacturing center
of consequence, if inquires dally
coming Into the Merchant and Manu
facturers' Association materialize.
Within the past .year lecal business
men and outside Investors have
awakened to the fact that there is
ample room in Washington for manu
facturing plants without interfering
In any respete with Washington pres
ent business, or its claim as the "ciw
beautiful."
Tears ago. when it was thought
that the location of factories here
would mar the beauty of the city, an
anti-smoke ordnance was passed.
Since that time, however, science has
progressed far enough to provide for
the elimination of minimisation of
smoke by artificial means. Besides,
there is in effect a zoning Uw in the
District that specifies to what use a
building shall be put.
In the opinion of certain prominent
business men In Washington, the
commercial life of this city Is yet In
Its infancy. Yesterday an .outside
company made Inquiry here regarding
the establishment of a factory five
miles from Washington. Local mer
chants are conndent that such in
quiries will lead to better business
conditions, even beyond the present
situation.
It was pointed out that Washing
ton's recent sudden growth In popula
tion still remains, and Is likely to in
crease with time.
There is a general feeling prevail
ing among well-Informed commercial
men that tho future holds out prom
ise for Increasing business in the Dis
trict of Columbia.

Boersianer's
Comment
on Business
By BOERSIANER.
It la pertinent to shake the oheet
nut trte gently aa regards Mr. Gary.
The spokesman for the United States
Steel Corporation Is constitutionally
aonclllatory aad by avocation, a diplo
matist. He will go far to conolllate dis
satisfied employes and discontented
customers. CoaoessloR. accommeda
tlpns are or were his watchwords.
By these and with an urbane address
he haa conferred high prestige on a
corporation which otherwise might 4
have stood In public estimation
where the packing companies bow
stand.
If, therefore. Mr. Gary now declines
to do as the radical union leaders ask.
It must be that he is absolutely, sure
of his position In more senses than
oae; assured that he has the mora
part of the workers with him; cer
tain, in any event, that the given coa
test the corporation will wla. Tho
second postalate is comprehensible If
It be a matter ef resources, for aeye-r
was an employer so strongly fortified.
A hedge, however, must be aoted la
considering the phase of aallltaasy.
As Mr. Gary U far-sightedly aa well
as suavely diplomatic, there Is the
remote possibility of his permitting a
tension ia which he may invite Presi
dent Wilson, to intervene at the ap
parently despairiag hour aad alio"
the President the Inestimable credit
of having f or ef ended a serious strike.
Everywhere, here aad abroad, ex
tending elements are becoming visi
ble. In one quarter you hear eonfl
dent prophecies about the future ef
this or that nation, or of all nations; f
that the age of progress aad aeati-
mentality is over; that science aaet
force are at last coming late their
own; will Introduce discipline at heme,
will draw vast revenues from tribu
tary natidns. and by means ef the
blockade aad Bombing plane aad
Lewisite effectually destroy, like se
many ant heaps any miserable eiti
or masses of men who resist the wtfl
ef the loudest chAuvaalats.
In another quarter you are assured
that militarism is dead aad damaed;
that selfishness was a quality con
fined to the eapltallst elassfie. who
will henceforth disappear, aad that
democracy, mysteriously: crowned
with all the virtues of the elect, is
about to enter Into its paradise.
This sort of contradiction Is nor
mal between employer aad employe
and between fine temperaments aad
temperaments less fine, and ia strong
er than usual now because ef the
uncertainties and violences through
which the world is passing. What la
curious now Is that there are equally
violent contrasts of anticipation
among- people whose outlook is net
dissimilar. The same element will at
one moment be exulting Is the power
6f commerce aad the next he aervaas-
ly apprehensive ot the spread of
Bolshevism.
And if you turn from them- to their
opposites, if you. go to the sort ef ,
gathering which shows,' aet perhapa
what sensible people really believer
but in what direction, young people's
thoughts- are moving, you are equally
likely to find extreme pessimism aad
extreme optimism, either that the
dawn that unfortunate overworked
old dawn which has so long been an
nounced In perorations Is aow de-
nitely about to appear and a new
world to be born, or else that all the
moral and social progress of cen
turies has been lost; that Barepe
may be reduced to a desert of hungry
and prowling beasts, that America
herself must have a decisive strife.
All of which means that the effect
of the war still is in the nerves e
civilized people. An infallible rem
edy was. suggested the "bther day at
an informal meeting of employers
and some labor leaders:
"Shst as aad go to work."
