tan-recce. Mas?., September 2?.?Po?
lice and parader? fought with knives
?ad clubs to-day prior to a demon?
stration by the members of the Indus?
trial Workers ?f the World. Two o?
cers were stabbed, a number of demon?
strators were clubbed and an Indus?
trial Worker of the World leader cap?
tured after a bard tight and then
treed. Only two arrests were made.
One shot was fired from the ranks of
the paraders.
Carlo Tresca. of Pittsburgh, Pa., an
editor, who is an organizer of tue In?
dustrial Work. :.?. was in custody, but
trained his freedom a minute or two
later. Persons who saw Trescas ar?
rest ssid he was rescued by com?
rades. Tresca. with a smile, said tlie
police let him go All of the police
professed to be ignorant of the oc?
currence.
The clash was quite unexpected.
More than fS.#Si operatives met at tne
railroad station to welcome TM mem?
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World, who had come from Huston
to participate in a parade iju the
g saves of Anna Lopizzo a .vi John
Ilamy, who were killed during the
strike riots last January. After tae
visitors had detrained, an impromptu
parade was started, turning final?
ly into Essex Street, the main
business thoroughfare of the city.
The parade was informal and no ap?
plication hid been made for a parude
rennlt. The police, notlfi-d that the
operatives were marching, attempted
to end the demonstration. A squad of
twenty-five officers wa? sent to Es?
sex and Lawrence Streets, where they
threw a line across Essex street and
awaited the arrival of tne procession.
Two iarge banners were carried by i
the marchers. One was ii-scribed. "The
only .liistlce-freelom for Ettwr and
? iiovKonittl" The other bore tne
.word.-, .Police and milt a." and be?
low. "Who killed Anna and John?'
When the hea.J. of the parade reached
the line of offices It halted and an
argument began. The pol'ce notified
the marchers that they must disperse
because they had no permit. Those in
the front rank were endeavoring to
fall back, when suddenly the march?
ers in the rear pressed forward and
the mill workers tried to pass the
police.
Tsey struck right and left at the,
officers, who responded by ewing'ng .
their clubs Many paraders were;
knocked bleeding to the ground. In
some instances the marchers robbed
the officers of their clubs and began
to boat the police. The latter were |
forced to retreat into Lawrence.
Street. It was here that Tresca was
seized by officers who started with ?
him towards the police station near-;
by. Angered by the arrest of the lead-,
er. the crowd made s rush for the
officers. The police appeared to be
fighting to hold the prisoner, but aj
moment or two later Tresca was at.
liberty. During tbe fight two Italians
were arrested and taken to the sta?
tion house. As they were being tak?
en through tbe door of the station a
a revolver shot was heard. It ap?
peared to have been fired by some one
in the crowd, but the operatives cried
out that tbe police were shooting.
Later the crowd was driven through
Lawrence Street and on to the com?
mon, where the paraders dispersed.
The widely heralded demonstration
of the afternoon?the parade in honor:
of Anna Loptxzo and John Barney?
brought oat about s.000 marchers. This
parade was orderly throughout. A driz?
zling rain drenched the paraders. bat
did not dampen their ardor. Many
women were among the marchers,
borne led children by the hand and
athers carried infants in their arms.
Many nationalities were represented.
Music was furnished by several bands.,
the "Marseillaise" and "L'lateraatlon
ale" being the most popular selections
fifteen hundred marrhera came from
?tber cities.
Scores of red flasrs with the letters
~I_ W. W." were carried. One of the
banners read 'Twentieth Century
Civilization. Kor the progress of the
human race we have lall?, gallows,
guillatines and electric chairs for the
people who pay to keep soldiers to
kill them when they revolt against
Wood and other czars of capitalism.
Arise, slaves of the world No God!

It had been planned to march to'
the cemetery where the two riot vlc
tlina *re burled, and place flowers on
their graves The parade at sue time
was within a short distance or the

NO ANSWER HAS
BEEN RECEIVED
Party Leader Remains Silent on
His Attitude Toward Presiden?
tial Primaries and Change in
Southern Representation.
Missouri Governor Will
Make No Other Terms.
I Jefferson City. Mo.. September 29.?
, In a short statement to-night Gover?
nor Herbert S. Hadley reiterated the
1 etand he took last night at St. Louis in
; rega:d to the presidential race. The
Governor declared that he had heard
i nothing from ?'resident Taft. Iiis
! statement follows:
i "If President Taft will vigorously
urge the adoption of those two prop?
ositions, the presidential bpeferencc
primary and a change in Southern
representation. I feel confident he will
materially strengthen his own and
the party's cause- before the American
people, in view of the occurrences of
the Chicago convention and the un?
questioned public sentiment in favor
ff both these reforms, the failure of
the convention to provide .'or a change
!? the basis of Southern representation
and a change in the presidential prim?
ary was, in my opinion, reactionary
and inexcusable. It is not too late for
President Taft, as the leader of the
party, to correct this mistake by declar?
ing in favor of these needed measures
or reform, which will prevent a recur?
rence of this controversy that now en?
dangers the party." i

\o Aimer Prosa Taft.
St. Louis, Mo.. September 29.?No
word from President Taft came last
night or to-day in reply to Governor
Hadley's ultimatum to the State Re?
publican committee yesterday as to
the terms on which he would support
the President in the present campaign.
This was explained to-night by Colonel
otto F. Stifel, member of the advisory
committee of the Republican National
Committee, who said that he had
wired President "Dart last night the
text of Governor Hadley's ultimatum
and had failed to hear from the Pres?
ident, and had sent th<> President a
second telegram to-day. . .ng that no
, immediate reply was 111 i assSIJf
' Colonel Stifel. explaining this action
in a statement, declared -that he had
informed the President that he con?
sidered "Hadley's speech last night at
the opening of the State Republican
campaign as an indorsement of Taft
and a promise to support him."
Governor Hadley's ultimatum was
that he would support President Taft
for re-election only on condition that
the President would at once declare'
himself for presidential preference
primaries and nonboss-controlled dele?
gations from Southern States to na?
tional conventions in order to prevent
recurrence of the charges of fraud;
such as arose in the last Republican]
National Convention.

Pfanschmidt was wealthy. Miss

' a fearful woun>3, evidently made with
a club. She and Miss Pfanschmidt
were found partly un.'er a mattress,
which had to some extent protected
their bodies from 'he flames.
A pillow upon which Miss Kaempen
. had been lying was not burned. It
was soaked with blood. Mrs. Pfan

the back of he;- head was not touched

I Beverly. Mass.. September 23.?The

? influence President Taft and his policy
! toward that country.
Published reports that have reached
the President here that the Senate
committee would report In favor of
? Intervention have been read with care
j by the President, but will not change
f his attitude. This statement was made
i by the President to callers who talked
f with him to-day. His position in re
i gard to Mexico, he told his visitors.
? has not changed since he sent the
Mexican ambassador hurrying dow-n to
[Mexico City with word from ths white
I House that intervention was not an
t Impossibility.
I Mr. Taft is not prepared to call Con
' gress In extra session to pass upon the
: need for intervention and he told his
callers that he had no present Inten?
tion of doing so. He does not believe
conditions in Mexico are as bad as
they were several weeks ago. He is
standing firm upon his declaration to
the Mexican ambassador and believes
; that conditions have improved since
' he told him what might be expected
I from the United States if American
j lives and property were not protect -

in Mexico long before he entered the
diplomatic corps, and had a financial
interest of well over $1. >0f>.>Of) there be-i

Mr. Thompson was essentially a

COLONEL'S PILGRIMAGE
_ - i
j Gees to See Cradle ln Which Mother i
Was Reeked to Bleep.
; Atlanta. Ga., September 29 ?Col- i
I one! Roosevelt made a pilgrimage to
; Jay to a quaint old house in Ros
well, twenty miles out of Atlanta.
1 It was to the building in which his
j mother. Martha Bulloch. was born and
spent the early years of her life. j
( He left Atlanta early, that he might
(reach Roswell in time to attend the
church of which his mother was a
member. When he reached the church
he found that no service was to be
held there to-day. He returned to
Atlanta for a few hours' rest, then
left for Chattanooga. Tenn., where he
speaks to-morrow morning. On his
way to the station he stopped to see
the cradle in which his mother was
rocked to sleep.
Colonel Roosevelt said that he en?
joyed his experience of last night at
the auditorium, where part of the1
I arowd made an unsuccessful attempt
ta break up the meeting. He had one;
of the hardest nights of the campaign
to obtain a hearing, but he said that
he had come to Atlanta with the de?
termination that he would speak out

MOB RULE DEFEATED

Landed la Jail.
Alken. S. C, September 29.?Mob rule
was defeated and a call on the Gover?
nor for troops was canceled early to?
day at the town of Wsgener when
Sheriff Rabon outwitted a mob and
arrested Hugh Long. Mayor of Wag
ener and representative-elect, charged
with shooting Pickens Gunter last
night. Gunter is president of the Bank
of Wagener, and the shooting is said
to be the outgrowth of political dif?
ferences He is not expected to live, j
Long, it is said, had received word!
during the recent political campaign
that if he ever returned to Wagener
he n-ould be killed. He appeared in
the town Saturday, and the shooting
resulted.
The sheriff, on reaching the scene,
found Long armed and locked in his
office and the building surrounded by

WILSON HAS WORD
FOR CONVENTION
He Asks. That New York Demo?
crats Be Absolutely Unbossed
and Set an Example Which
Will Vindicate Fair
Name of Their
Party.
Seagirt. N. j., September 29.?Gover?
nor Wilson issued a statement to-night
I calling upon delegates to the New York
j State Democratic Convention at Syra?
cuse next Tuesday to choose as a candi
| date for Governor "a progressive man
I of the kind to be his own master." Ha
? likewise urged a progressive pjtat
! form and declared that "it will not da
j for the choice of the convention at
. Syracuse to be any less free than that
! which gave the third party Mr. Straus.
and the regular Republican party Mr.
: Hedges."
j It is not believed that anything mors
j de?nlte in the way of an expression as
j an opinion will be forthcoming front
j the presidential nominee before the
I Syracuse convention begins. It is rs
garded also as unlikely that he will eX
I press preference for any particular
i person, although his close friends at
j the convention wtU know what typs
i of men and what individuals probably
j will prove acceptable to him.
I Governor Wilson's statement. In full.
I follows:
I "I have beer, looking forward to ihs
I Syracuse convention with the deepest
j interest, because I realize its critical
j importance to the party throughout the
I nation, and I have made my own opln
j ion in regard to it very plain to every
j friend from New York who has dons
j me the honor to consult me. I havs
i not said anything in public about It
j or through the newspapers because I
wanted to avoid even the appearance
of doing what I candemn in others,
namely, trying to dictate what a great
party organization should do. what
candidates it should choose and what
Platform it should adopt. But the very
principle to which I hold myself bound
i both in speech and action justifies ma
j in saying that the whole country- de
! mands and expects that the Democracy
of New York be left absolutely free to
make its own choice. 1 believe that
It Is ready to choose a progressive man
of a kind to be his own roaster, and to
adopt a platform to which men of pro?
gressive principles everywhere can
I heartily subscribe if only It be left
! free from personal control of any sort.
The organized Democrats or the great
State of New York are ready to serve
the nation and to serve it with intei
I ligence. They need no direction from
the Governor of another State, even
though he be the candidate of his
! party for the presidency. It is seldom
j organizations that are at fault, it is
j those who dictate their action. No in
! telligent party leader can justly or
! wisely, or even intelligently, condemn
i or reject the opinion of an honest or
| gantzation by which alone parties can
j be led to concerted action, but he must
I do everything in his power to keep
I them free and unbossed.
' The Democracy of New York is at
a critical turning point in Its history,
i The whole country awaits its sction at
Syracuse with deep attention snd con?
cern. Democrats everywhere look ts>
it to set an example snd vindicate ?ho

"They will feel the chill snd dis?
