Santa llarlmru. Cal April 20 An
outbreak occurred in the street last
nlglit In which several hundred mill
ers threw stones and clubs and pir
tidily wrecked a snuill resliienuit at
121 State street, owned by John Se
nlcli. It was a culmination of uu
uieroui small dHlleulties. whtch have
occurred during the week the fleet
has been here between sailors and
local tradesmen. The bad feeling has
been due principally to an .:l!erf !
ostein of cerchurge In paynien h . i
ini-aln and other purchases ulHi
w hull the sailors lmo recti eon
fronted.
Last night the sailors claim Seuich,
attempted to charge two of th men
$ nplcco for a meal, which 'hey
deemed exorbitant. They demu'red to
tho payment, but the shore pa
trol compelled a settlement o' the
bill because the men had n in
quired the price before ordering. I.1.
ter they reported the Incident t
shore liberty parties, and finally large
crowds congregated In front of the
place and commenced to throw
stones and other missiles. Windows
and glass fixtures were smashed,
while the proprietor and employes
fled. Tho shore patrol rushed to the
scene and soon dispersed the crowd.
The sailors have been dissatisfied
with the lack of entertainment here.
More than 11.000 of them have come
ashore each day, but after spending
a few hours la tho town have eith
er taken the train to Los Angeles or
returned to their ships. Alleged over
charging has been numerous, and
considerable Ill-feeling hag been en

LABOR AND REFORM BODIES
HE INDEPENDENCE PARTY
This Party Is Affiliated With Hearst's
Independence League and Will
Act With That Body In
National Elections.
lllrmlnKliam. Ala., April 30 Hpe
lull Free lance politicians of Ala
bama and representatives ot various
labor and reform bodies met here to
day In what Is called a state conven
on of the Independence Party of Ala
num. The convention wlll tiaran an
lector.il ticket, select delegates to a
national convention and perfect a per
manent organization. The party Is
tllllated with William lUuidol.Vi
Hearst's Independence league and
III nit with that body In national
elections. ItH objects and purposes
ro set forth In Uio following Inn-
gunge:
Wo believe that the tlmo has come
for luduH)iidont political action, anil
that a great national party Is Imper
atively demanded, that will unite lu
die solid phalanx tho fanner, the
wnge-tamor and the non-privncg'i
seeking business man. These threo
letnents represent worth producers
of this country nnd are Its backbone
ml sinew, but, remnrkabla im It may
seem, they have no volco In making
laws.
ViHoth old parties are controlled by
he mime -,Kwor, and no genuine re
form can como through either Wit
ness tho rutllo efforts of President
Roosevelt In thu republican party, the
failure to effect reform under Grover
Cleveland, when tho democratic party
was lu iiower, and tho failure of Mr
tryan to prevent the nomination t f
Judge Parker three years ago, and sub
sequently his weak surrender to the
isilltlclans on tho question of govern
ment ownership of railroads.
Genuine reformers aro helpess so
long as they remain In tho ranks ot
tther of tho old partlos, and It lui
been the jKilIcy of predatory wealth
and Its political henchmen to keep
tho -iieoplo divided into two parties,
both being under the same control.
And so long as this can bo dona all
tills huo nnd cry against trusts and
monopolies and special jirlvllegos Is
but as bounding brass nnd tinkling
cymbal unless accompanied by inde
pendent political action.
"The farmers, wago-enrnors nml
non-prMlcgo seeking business me'i
have heretofore been divided between
tho two parties of plutocracy, and It
Is tho purposo ot tho Independent par
ty to unite these throo elements and
gain control of our government, whlcii
Iihm long been In tho hands of tho rep
resentatives of predatory wealth. In
no other way onn we have the govern
ment of tho peoplo, by tho peoplo an l
for tho people."
