man, a youth, but the situation was
critical.
Called on the Constable.
Cflplftl? Gulgon called upon Constable
Angle to nrrcsl tho man. The Constable
Stated that he did not hear the state?
ment. Captain Gulgon Insisted that the
officer did Hear him. The Constable in?
sisted that ho did not and that no nmn
phonlil sny ho did, whereupon Cnptnln
Onigon added; "I say po." Thereupon
Constable Angle struck nt Captain Gui?
tton, standing in his trocks. drew his
head back and received a light blow on
Iho chin, which caused neither injury
n<T pain. Cnptnln Gulgon coolly tnnrle
no effort to strike back, nnd nsked (lint
the officer be arrested. This was rione
and there tho crisis ended, with no reni
harm done. It Is understood thnt the
voung man whose arrest the attorney
demanded will not be prosecuted further
than to seno ns the occasion for nn
enunciation ns to the. law In such cases
nnd the delivery of admonition ftS to the
wisdom nnd Importance of coolness nnd
1he duty of refraining from public ex?
pression's calculated to incense persons
or to precipitate disorder. This was tho

Orr Expected Back.
Further than these official statements
the men bare nothing to say, further than
tho reiterated declaration that, they arc
unwavering In their determination not to
resumo work for the company undor pres?
ent conditions. Their meetings aro well
attended and the men seem cheerful and
full ot enthusiasm.
_. Mr. Hciln Orr, of Detroit, the general
ovgaiilzcr, who has been hero aiding Pres?
ident Griggs In tho direction of the strike,
nnd who had to go to Brooklyn on Fri?
day, Is expected to return to tho city this
morning, nnd will remain hero In consul?
tation with the officers of the division. He
has been stopping at the Lexington Hotel,
nnd will probably take up his sojourn
there upon bis return.
Hung In Effigy.
The practical Joker got In his work
early lust night at tlio corner of Harri?
son and Broad Street?, where' a dummy
was swung from the trolley polo
In tho middle of Broad Street
bearing this placard: "What we'll
do for Huff will be enough." The deco?
rators failed to affix their names to tho
effigy. U consisted of coat, vest and
trousers stuffed, nnd with a mask or
"soaro face" in lieu of a bead. Soon
niter tho hanging of tho effigy tliore the
rumor rapidly gained currency that
jnnn bad been lynched at the corner
stated, and excited inquiries came In
by 'phono to Tho Tlmes-Dlspatch office.
All the Inquiriere wero promptly reas
nircd, however. TJho otl?gy was cut down
by the p>llce"0l the Third District,
The company did not undertake to op?
erate cars on the Broad Street lino yes?
terday, but it Js understood that this
service will bo resumed, or the effort
tunde to resumo It, on Monday. Fourteen
enrs wero operated on tbe Main Street
line from Reservoir to Fulton, around
the loop and return. These ears wero
j-.ot molested and a fairly regular sched?
ule was maintained, though tho patron?
nge -was not largo. "While there was
Fome jeering nnd evidences of sympathy
with the strikers on tho part of tiio popu?
lace at some suburban points, there was
ho real interference.
The Free Vehicles.
The various vans and 'busos operated
by individuals lor profit nnd tho free
vehicles run by the strikers to haul the
young women and men who sympathize
with them, and who havo long distances
to go, were well tilled in tho evening.
About 7 P. M. a large nnd handsome ve?
hicle full of young women was driven
down Main Street eastward amid some
demonstrations of approval or iimuto
ment along the route. Tho occupants of
. Iho vehicle wore merrily waving their
glands and kerchiefs at pedestrians pa
they passed. Tho vehicle was placarded:
"Wo are with you, boys, at our own ex?
pense." Other vehicles bearing the ad?
vertisements of merchants wore placed
?t the service of the strikers and hauled
young men and women from the stores
leetorles and shops without cost.

WILL PRINT A PAPER
First Issuo of that Gotten Out by Street
Car Men Expected Monday.
Mr. A. L. Tyler, recording secrets.ry
of Division 152, of tho streot railway em?
ployes' organization, stated to a reporter
for Tho Tlmes-Dlspatch yesterday after?
noon about ? o'clock that tho division
would lssuo a dally paper. In announcing
this to tho men, he says, he stated to thoni
that at last "wo will have a channel
through which our sido of this fight enn
bo placed boforo tho pabilo in all fair?
ness, regardless of," etc. "If you np
polnt your committee wc can get a paper
out by 4 o'clock, giving a fair statement
of our side of this cuso." Mr. Tyler
states this as his recollection of what
he said on tho subject to the men at
Sangcr Hall.
Ho stated to a reporter for Tho Tlmes
Dlspatch that it had boon found Impos?
sible to get out the first Issue of tha
proposed paper yesterday, but that it
would be Issued Monday afternoon. It
would probably bo a four-page paper.
Further than that ho did not state.
Tho division of car men did not hold
a formal meeting lost night, and will
not hold ono to-day, except that the
men will take part In tlio demonstra?
tion by tho organized labor bodies of
th city planned for 3 o'clock this after?
noon, if the weather be favorable. Tho
various bodies nr such representatives
therefrom as desire to participate in tho
walk to the Reservoir and back ere ex?
pected to assemble at or near Sangor
Hall about 2:CI0 this afternoon.
The Bricklayers' Union, which Is not a
part of tho Central Trades and Labor
Council, has been Invited to participate
In this parade or demonstration ot sym?
pathy, with the strikers.
Speaking of the reported hissing of a
newspaper man In tho hall yesterday,
Mr. Tyler stntes that ho did not hear
any hissing, and several others, who state!
that they were present, sny that they
heard nono. If there was any, ha said,
it was merely a personal nintter and a
sporadic expression only.
Ono of tho strike-breakers brought here
yesterday morning was present at tho
hall yesterday afternoon, und ? reporter
for The Tlmes-Dlspatch hud a talk with
lllm. The mini, who was very well
dressed, gave his name as B. Dennis, of
No. 1217 South Twenty-ninth Street,
Philadelphia. He was asked as to the
circumstance of leaving Philadelphia and
coming here, and tho proposition made
to him. He stated that he was told
that men wero wanted to work In tho
west, and that they wero told that there
was a strike: not hing more.
"Did you nsk any questions as to thc
strike?"
'No; ? caino on here, arriving this
morning. There wore about twenty-five
men In the car with me."
'Do you know how many men enmo
In the party of strlkp-breakers?"
"No? 1 only know about how many
there were In the ear."
"What was offered ypu for your work
hire?"
"I was offered *'J."n a day and board.
Tlioy offi red nie tLOO a day to stay nnd
run a car when ? determined to quit."
"What induced you |(. null the service
of the company after you came here?"
"Just the men, I saw they wanted to
work and I did not want to tako their
positions."
"Were there or not any threats made
by tho lixii lQ induce you to quit?"
"None at all.
Donni? claimed to bo an experienced
molorman and said he had "resigned his
position",.with the Philadelphia lino twi
or three months ago, "ilo said that hn
would return to his home If he could
gel back there.

tho number of strike-breakers arriving In
the city yesterday morning WfW -about
12S. Some say 123, but tlio number Is va?
riously etntcd at from 100 to ISO. Of this
number some wero persuaded to abandon
tholr intention of going to work, but Just
bow many wore persunded to r;ult ny tho
Strikers' committee Is not agreed. Somo
of those at headquarters state that at nit
thirty wero Induced to quit, nnd the
names of sixteen or seventeen were se?
cured, tho men coming from Philadelphia,
New York and Brooklyn. Sonic of these
men nro said to hnve made affidavi te be*

of these wero attainable when the re?
porter was at the hall, bonce nono could
bo secured for publication.
An nfilcln.l of Iho company stated late
yesterday afternoon that not over eight
of the new nrrlvals were Induced by the
strikers to quit, nnd the number might
not exceed six. Thero wero two two
florsc wagons operated by tho striker's nnd
these wero nt Robertson and Broad when
he saw them. Thcso wore tilled, but
somo of those In tho vehicles wero
Strikers. Ho reiterated the statement Hint
so far as his knowledge and belief went,
not over eight worn Induced to quit.
The men wore sitting around the hall
writing, talking nnd laughing good-na

nnd several of tha men nre said to bo

tertain the crowd with selections. Not a
great many of tlio men wero present at
the time of tho reporter's call, shortly
before 7 In tho evening. Upwards of a
hundred were on committee duty, and tho
remainder were nt their homes. Many
will go to church to-dny nnd some will
hear the special sermons on thc strike.
WORK OF POLICE
It Is Regarded ae Having Been Excel?
lent All Along.
There will be no cars running to-day.
That was tho Information given by
Major Howard to his captains last night
shortly after 7 o'clock, in accordance with
? report received by him from General
Manager Huff a few minutes before.
Tills planN was adopted along conserva?
tive lines and upon tho suggestion of
Major Howard. Tho Chief, howovor, In
making the suggestion, added that no
matter what stand the company took
ho was ready to givo them ampio police
protection within thc city limits, when?
ever and wherover they wished to run
tholr cars.
Mnjor Howard thought, however, that
It would bo bettor not to awaken 111 feel?
ing, and with it possible trouble. In
view of the fact that tho streets will ho
crowded with peojjlo to-dny, and that a
public demonstration Is to bo given by
thc unions this afternoon, ho thought It
would bo best not to arouse any feeling
by running tho cars In tho faco of the
crowds.
After careful consideration the officials
of the company felt Inclined Iho same
way, so that tho order to tie up all cars
for tho day was sent out.
Up to this time the police have acted
admirably. In no Instance has a man
lost his head, liven the now and inex?
perienced specials have acted coolly and
with clear heads. They have followed
out strictly tho Instructions and admo?
nitions of Commissioner Jacob and Chief
Howard, and have In no wise excited the
anger or disrespect ot tho idlo men.
Arrangements Excellent.
Tho police arrangements sinco the lit?
tle disorder on upper Main Street havo
been perfect. Major Howard has worked
ceaselessly to that end, nnd his lieuten?
ants and their men have all worked in
the closest liarmoiiy. Tho same plan
that has been in effect heretofore Is still
being carried out.
This morning fifty of the regulars will
bo on duty, and In tho evening tho other
fifty. The, reservo and tho specials will
work to-night ns they havo donc. If It
bo found necessary moro specials will bo
elected, but it is not believed there will
be any necessity for moro policemen.
Tho strikers are not engaged In inciting
to violence or disorder. They are. behav?
ing quietly and gentlemanly. The law?
less element that always conic to tho
front on occasions Is pretty well In tho
hands of tho police department and under
tho eyes of thc upholders of law and or?
der, so that no one In a position to say,
believes that more officers of tile law may
bo needed, at least within the city limits.
Tho Police Board has ever been alert
to meet the exigencies of the occasion.
Several meetings havo been held, and
audiences have been given officials of tho
Street-Car Company, so that, from all
standpoints of tlio situation, so far as the
police department Is concerned, everything
seems to point to little troubla in hand?
ling the strike. -
Tlio patrolmen themselves and the se?
cret service department, under command
of Captain Tomlinson, have dono yeoman
service. Many ot the mon and all of them
nt times havo gone without their meals
In the emergency, and havo worked con?
stantly long hours at a time. No com?
plaints or kicks havo been made nnd the
wholo thing reflects but honorably upon
the Police Department.
Major Howard said last night that his
men had done well and ho looks upon
them with pride.
Citizens Can Aid,
"But," he said, "the citizens can aid
us In many respects. Should any one
seo a person commit an overt act, It Is
his or her duty to at onco report tha
samo to the police. Our men aro not
omnipresent. They cannot seo everything
thai is going on nor can they arrest on a
misdemeanor charge without a warrant,
unless thoy seo tho net committed. ?
citizen can swear out a warrant Just us
easily ns an officer can, and If It should
so happen that soino act of violence or
other lawlessness Is commuted so that
the police do not sea It, those who do
should take somo steps to stop or prevent
tho same and thus help tho police In up?
holding tho peaco and dignity of tho
city."
Major Howard took moro rest last
night than ho has sineo tho strike start?
ed. Ile has hardly touched his bed since
Tuesday,
SBRrlONS ON THE STRIKE
Suspension of Car Traffic Will Proba?
bly Curtail Church Attendance.
The total suspension of all street-car
traille to-dny as a result of tlio stri (o
will In nil probability operate in no
small measure to causa a falling off in
the slzo of congregations, Many people
living ut long fange will go to churches
near by or remain at homo entirely.
Two or three of the pastina and prob?
ably moro will mako special reference to
the strike situation. Announcement lias
been made by tho Rev, ,???? t, Tucker
that ho will preach at tho JAast-lind Bap?
tist Church on this subject und It Is
expected that the attendance hero will
bo quito large. Mr. Tucker has extended
an Invitation to tlio members of tlio
union. At the Randolph-Street Baptist
Church, the Rev, I. H. Buylos will also
havo something to say along this Hue.

company, wero present, nnd the former
made protest against tho summary ac?
tion of the officer, who bad tided upon
hearsay testimony nud without a war?
rant.
After some further discussion of this
point It was decided that the prisoner
should bo allowed to proceed with his
breakfast, thereafter to be taken to the
Henrlco Oourthouso In the buggy ot Cnp?
tnln Gulgon, which was tendered by bini
for the purpose, Up to this time tho sit?
uation was compaiatlvely Culm. The
trottole ramo a few moments Inlet. Af?
ter he had eaten Farley was taken to
Ilio outside, where he was about to enter
the buggy in which ho was to be driven
down town. Ho was accompanied by tho
two officials of the company.
Yelled nt Him.
Tho appearance of tho man at the
door waa the sigimi for ? chorus of de?
risive howls and groans from tho big
crowd of strikers and strike sympa?
thizers assembled. Yells of "Givo him
ten years," "Send him to tho pcnltcn
i Gary," nnd so on, mingled, nnd?the ell?
! max was rea chea when the cry of "Hing
him" was added to the others. Captain
Gulgon nt once turned to tho officers and
called for tho arrest of the man who
wished to see Farley strung up, and
then ho nnd Dr. Cnrrington sot out after
him, mainly with the Intention of keep?
ing him in sight, that ho should not es?
cape. They had not proceeded far when
tho fellow? halted, it the Instance of
friends, who yelled to him to Etop and
face tho music. ? second and moro In?
sistent demand was mndo that tho man
ho arrested, and ultimately ho was taken
In charge by Ofllccr Green. He wns F.
D. Abbott, ono of tho strikers.
Returning to his former position Cnp?
tnln Gulgon accosted Constable Angle,
who had In the first Instance fulled to
l'?spofld to the demand for tho arrest
of Abbott. As ho did nt that time,
Anglo now protested that lie bad heard
the prisoner say nothing. A sharp col?
loquy between him nnd Cnptnln Gulgon
ensued, which culminated when tho of?
ficer raised his left hand nnd struck tho
orriolnl In tho face. Captain Gulgon pre?
served his temper nnd stood motionless,
while he now called for tho arrest of
Angle, which was made.
Called For Trial.
G?- this timo the excitement was In?
tense. Many In the crowd yelled for tho
arrest then and there of the Cnptnln, de?
claring thnt he had called tho ofllccr a
llar and had got his Just deserts when
bo was hit. Nothing of this sort was
done, however, nnd nftcr a whllo tho
mob, hot and angry, quieted down some?
what. Later on. when tho whole party
went oft to tho courthouse, tho signs of
trouble disappeared almost entirely.
Tho tbreo men under arrest wero taken
before 'Squire Jamos T. Lewis nnd the
ease wns opened for trial. ? warrant
In duo form was sworn out for Angle,
who ns promptly retaliated by swearing
out one for Captain Gulgon. The officer
ivas charged with assault and improper
conduct; the Captain with using abusive
lnnguago and attempting to Intimidate a
county officer In the discharge of his
duty. Considerable argument n3 to tho
timo for tho hearing of the ease de?
veloped. Mr. Miles Martin, representing
tho company, wished for Immediate
trial, but Mr. Angle objected and tho
matter was continued. All four of tho
cases wero set for next Friday morning.
The Two ? ? '
Tho chief point of contention In the
wholo affair lui3 reference to the atti,
lude of Captain Gulgon. Tho Henrlco
policeman justifies himself by the asser?
tion that ho was called a liar, and that
bo was compelled to resent an insult:
fiat-denial of this statement is made by
Captain Gulgon and some others who
wero standing near, all of whom declare
that no such language was used.
Speaking of tho matter last evening, tho
Passenger and Power Company official
reiterated this declaration. Ho says he
called upon Anglo to arrest the man who
yelled "Hang him," when Parley ap?
peared, and that the constable refused to
move, saying that ho had heard nothing.
When he returned to him after chasing
tho boy, Mr. Angle repeated this state?
ment:
"No ono can say I heard him," he de?
clared, or words to that effect.
"I say that you heard him," replied
the Captain.
Hero the colloquy begaln In the "I
didn't," "You did" style, and then tir*
blow was passed. Mr. Anglo had u club
in his right hand. He raised his left and
struck at tho Captain, who ducked his
liead, but otherwise stood motionless with
his arms by his side. In one hand ho had
an umbrella. Tho blow fell In a glancing
direction on tho chin of Captain Gulgon
and did no injury. Knowing that the
slightest movement might causo a tre?
mendous disturbance, Captain Gulgon kept
bhltnself quiet and did not further ro
sent tho Indignity than by ordering tho
arrest of tho constable. There was not,
ho declared, anything like the wprfl lio or
liar used. V
On tlio other hand, Mr. Angle asserts
that such was tlio case. Ho said yosterday
afternoon that at the time he was as?
sisting In arresting Farley and keeping
the crowd back. When tho prisoner came
out there was a disturbance ami the con
stablo says ho hoard somobody cry "Ar?
rest him," and saw a man running. He
had not heard the man or seen him say
or do anyhlng. He told Captain Oulgon
this, but tlio Captain declared that he had
hoard.
"Then I suppose If I say I did not. hear,
I run lying." Is what Mr. Angle says he
nsked at this point.
"Yes," Mr. Angle dochires Captain
Gulgon replied. "If you Say such a thing
you lie."
"Then I hit him," the constable said.
"I was an officer of tho law, but I was
also a man and I had to resent such an
insult."
Said They Can Shoot.
An a result of the arrest of Parley
without a warrant, Captain Gulgon pro?
ceeded to liisuo somo explicit and docld
eriiy Interesting les:ructions to the strike?
breakers as to their rights In the prem?
ino* Summed up In a fow wonli, these
Instructions ware as follows:
''No officer has aj right to arrest or
search a innn for carrying concealed
weapons without a warrant, and no of?
ficer has a right to arrest a man for mis?
demeanor without a warrant, unless
committed In his presence, and If any
ono attempts to do this you aro within
your rights ir you shoot."
Made Complaint.
Following tho disturbance at the Reser?
voir an air of suppressed excitement sur
rounded the courthouse for a timo yes?
terday. About 'j o'clock In the afternoon
President SlUordlng and Mr Miles M.
Martin, chief! counsel for tho company,
drovo down In a buggy and hell a con?
sultation with Judgo Wlakhiun. .Sheriff
Solomon waa present and w?iit out cuco
lo telephone to tho chief of pollen at the
Reset voir to get at the situations there.
The responso he received was to the effect
that everything was quiet at thnt time.
Tho sheriff returned to the o!Ikn and
shortly afterward announced that he and
tho Judge would ?it once pay a visit
to the fccuuo of the trouble with a view
to making some personal observations.
Tho suggestion that Mr. Sltterdlng was
out looking for an Injunction against tho
strikers or with a view to having tho
military called out Is very Incorrect. The
two gentlemen were at the courthouso
chiefly to ask; for more protection and to
make complaint against Anglo and Green,
.the two officers. Ho far ?s Green Is con?
cerne.! the only objection Is tho nrrest
of Farley without u warrant? und upon
hearsay evidence, which Captain Gulgon
? iys the policeman admits. Apart from

PROTECTION IN COUNTY
Sheriff Simon Solomon Says 1hc Mili?
tary Will Not Be Called Out.
A report gained currency inte yester?
day afternoon that officials of Ilio Pas?
senger and Power Company had made
Inquiries with a view to asking for mili?
tary protection In tho county. No direct
confirmation or denial of tho report
could bo secured, but the assurance was
received that the military will not bo
culled out.
Sheriff Simon Solomon, of Henrlco
county, was nsked last night: "Is It true,
ns reported, that officials ot lite Vir?
ginia Passenger nnd Power Company
havo asked for military protection in tho
county?"
Tlio Sheriff did not nnswer the direct
question categorically, but replied with
decision nnd reiterated tho statement:
"Thc military will not be called ont.'?
Some of the officials of the company
have commented on tho police service
In tho county nnd characterized It ns
Inadequate. Tho statement of tho Sheriff
Is construed to mean that ho will guaran?
tee ndcqtmto nnd entirely satisfactory
service, nnd that ho can do this with?
out the aid of the mllltln. There Is,
therefore no probability at this time
of a call for military, tho civil author!?
tics being fully equal 'to tho situation,
