SUED FOR A FORTUNE.
Scott's Daughter -in - Law
Wants $100,000
Because He Separated Her From
Her Husband,
'And Extorted a Tale of Dishonor
From Her.
A Wealthy Philadelphia Shipper'! Con
spiracy with HU Sen to Hid htm
of a Woman Married
In Halt*.
By the Associated Press.
Philadelphia, May t.—John Scott,
the millionaire coal shipper of tbis city
and Boston, was today sued for $100,000
damages. The plaintiff is his daughter
in-law. The divorce granted in Dead
wood, 8. D., has been eet aside by the
court there and the case will have to be
tried oyer.
The firat that Mr. Scott knew of the
marriage of his son, MifHin Scott, to
Erwig Elvira Morchen, was bis meeting
tbe couple at Southampton, England,on
tbeir bridal trip, while he, with hie wife
and daughter, was about starting for a
tour on tbe continent.
Mr. Scott sent the bridegroom back to
bis studies at Heidelberg, whioh be did
not know that he had left until he saw
him as a benedict on the deck of the
Bteamsbip. Tbe bride he took with bis
wife and daughter on his trip, where,
for a time all seemed to have gone well,
except that yonng Mrs. Scott complained
that ber father-in-law waa very carious
about her past life.
This state of things, however, was in
terrupted by a letter addressed to tbe
son, which in the son's absence the
father opened. Thia letter was from a
midwife in Berlin, who claimed tbat
young Scott owed her a bill for services
rendered his wife. In the letter waß a
full account of an operation on her sis
ter, and Hedwig's name was used in as
sociation with a young German named
Frits Theissen, whom Hedwig had met
at Coblentz in November of 1800, aome
five months before her marriage.
On reading the letter, Mr. Scott went
himself to Glasgow with tbis son's wife
and placed her in the home of her Bis
ter, the wife of a Presbyterian minister.
He did net leave Scotland until he had
received word from bis daughter-in-law
tbat Theissen bad betrayed her while he
was at Coblentz. Mr. Scott admits
having secured tbis confession, and says
that it was made by the girl of her own
free will. The family then left Hedwig
with ber sister and returned to this
country, and young Scott went to Dead
wood to study law.
After tbe proper time of residence he
filed a petition for divorce, alleging tbat
be had been deceitfully led to marry the
girl, being himself tbe father of a child
to which she gave birth in July, '91. On
thia the divorce now act aaide was
granted.
In her complaint the wife charges that
the divorce waß fraudulently obtained
without her knowledge in pursuance of
a conapiracy between the father and the
young man, inaiats tbat the child waa
bia, and declares tbat the confession waa
extorted from her by Mr. Scott under
threats of withdrawal of all support
from herself and husband, and never
allowing her te see Mifflin again. The
trial for the damage suit promises to be
of itnereat.

Expressions.
By the Associated Press.
London, May I.—Dispatches received
here from the different capitols of
Europe show tbat May day baa passed
without and serious diaturbance.
In this city the anarchists received a
lesson from a mob in Hyde park, and
the socialists made a demonstration in
the same place.
All was quiet at Berlin and Vienna,
although meetings of workmen and
others were dispersed by the police in
both these cities.
After the mob had been dispersed in
Berlin several groups proceeded to the
Thiergarten, but they were overawed by
tbe detectivea and aoon diepersed.
A number of pereons collected during
the afternoon in the southeastern part
of the city. The police, however, pre
vented any large aasemblage of people,
and would not allow tbe orators to de
liver speechea. Tonight tbere were
eeveral orderly meetings of Socialists.
A large meeting was held at Mar
seilles, but no seriouß disturbance took
place.
At Hamme, Belgium, tbere was some
rioting, but order was soon restored by
the police.
May day passed off quietly in Paris
and throughout France generally. In
Paris a number of deputations were re
ceived by tbe socialist members of the
chamber of deputies during tbe day, but
no demonstration of any kind was at

held by Socialists in different parts ef
the city tonight.
No May day diaordera oocurred in
Rome or any other parte of Italy.
Orderly meetings were beld in other
leading towns of tbe continent.
A procession of Socialists numbering
aeveral thousand persons formed today
near Black Friars bridge, London, and
marched to Hyde park. All those who
took pait in tbe procession wore a piece
of red ribbon in their buttonholes. The
procession waa headed by a band of mu
sic and thousanda of flags were carried.
Some of the flags were draped and oth
ers were red and inscribed with such
mottoes aa "Down with the masters,"
"Prepare for the coming revolution,"
etc.
Upon arriving at Hyde Park the So
cialists sang tbe Marseillaise. William
Morris and other Socialist apeakera ad
dressed the aasemblage.
Editor Samuel of the Commonweal,
an anarchist organ, used expressions
which aroused indignation. Finally the
anti anarcbista made a rush toward tbe
platform and the anarcbiata attempted
to defend the orator, but were chased
out of the park. Many of tbe moet
prominent "reds" had their coats torn
from their backs.
Grata. Austria, May I.—May day waa
marked by disorder in thia city today.
The trouble waa caused by men wbo
took part in a procession and wbo re
fused to haul down the red flags whicb
tbey were displaying when they were
ordered to do ao by tbe police. The
rioters were not diapereed nntil the ar
rival of tbe militia. Ten policemen and

THE CALL AND BULLETIN.
George Flteh Petition), for Their Bale by
the Judicial Authorities.
San Francisco, May I.—An action
was begun in the superior court today
that will probably result in radical
changes in the management of two of
San Francisco's leading daily news
papers. George K. Fitch, the surviving
partner of the late Loring-Pickering and
the late James W. Simonton, in the
ownership of the Daily Morning Call
and the Daily Evening Bulletin, hied a
petition praying for the appointment of
a receiver for tbe Call and Bulletin prop
erties.. He asks that tbe reeeivera bo
appointed be ordered to cell tbe Call
property and 10 days subsequently boII j
the Bulletin, at public auction or at
private sale, to tbe highest bidder for
cash. Mr. Fitch asks for a final ac
counting between all the parties in in
terest.
It is eaid that the strained relations
between Mr. Fitch and R. A. Carothers,
who represents the Pickering interests,
is the cause of Mr. Fitch'a application
for a receiver.
GETS A NEW TKIAI..
Embezzler Flood of the Donohue Bank
Has Another Chance.,
San Francisco, May l.—J. W. Flood,
comvicted of embezzling money from the
Donohue Kelly Banking company, baa
been granted a new trial by tbe supreme
court.
Flood was cashier of the"bank, and
was charged with embezzling something
like $169,000. He was tried iv the su
perior court and convicted by a jury,
and before he was sentenced he asked
for a new trial. This was last June.
Judge Seawell granted a new trial upon
tbe ground tbat the verdict was contrary
to the evidence introduced.
District Attorney Barnes appealed
from the order granting tbe new trial.
Tbe aupreme court has decided that
Judge Seawell was competent to grant a
new trial, and so ruled.
KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
GRAND MASTER WORKMAN SOV
EREIGN SHO VVS HIS HAND. .
The Organization Means to Stand by
Kelly In His Effort to Secure
Transportation from the Rail
roads to Go East.
Dks Moines, la., May I.—Grand Mas
ter Workman Sovereign arrived in Dee
Moinea today with the avowed intention
of throwing the influence of the Knights
of Labor in an effort to secure a train for
Kelly's army. In an interview with an
Associated Pieaa reporter Mr. Sovereign
said that his action was determined
upon a meetingof bis co-executive board,
held in Chicago yesterday, and asserted
that this organization would Bee to it
that the Industrials secured a train,
even though every railway in lowa
abould be tied up.
"I came to Dcs Moines with the pur
pose of showing my hand in tbia mat
ter," be aaid. "Kelly shall not walk
out of the city. I shall attempt to se
cure transportation without trouble, but
if a train can't be secured for money
we have more drastic measures at
hand."
"What will yon do if you are rsfused a
train?"
"I can only repeat," aaid he, "that
Kelly shall not walk out. The army
shall ride though every road in lowa be
tied up. Ido not say tbat the Knights
of Labor could take such action of it
self. With tbe aid of tbe American
Railway union, should a move be made,
it will be successful. When I left Presi
dent Debs in St. Paul bia last words were
that anything we ordered bia people
would atand by, and I made a similar
proposition.
"Thia thing ia aimply an issue be
tween united railroads and organized
labor, and if we can't win here we might
as well stop righting. Tbe issue ia a
square one, and we will meet it. We
are in sympathy witb tbe Coxey and
Kelly movement as it attracts pnblic
attention and invites discussion of the
interests we repreaent, I am reliably
informed tbat tbe majority of Kelly's
men are members of labor unions, and
we will neither let them starve nor walk
out of Dcs Moines."
The grand master workman says he
expected to call a labor meeting to con
sider the matter tomorrow, and the
action of the assembly ie looked forward
to with anxiety. Meetinga were held in
tbe Grand opera house this after
noon and tonight, which Kelly, General
Weaver, Colonel Speed and others ad
dressed. Tbe audience paid admission.
Admissions increased the army's hank
account by about $300.
Sovereign addressed the army at the
camp this evening and aroused much
enthusiasm among the men by hia ex
preaeions of sympathy.
A committee consisting of Sovereign,
Weaver, ex-State Master Workman Van
dermeulen of the K. of L., Secretary
Barnet of tbe American Railway union
and two labor union leaders were ap
pointed to see that transportation for
Kelly is immediately secured. Sovereign
sent a cipher message to President Debs
tonight, which he refused to tranaiate,

day. This is one of many instances
where claimants bave a wonderful regu

By the Anenrlaterl Press.
Washington, May I.—The march of
Coxey's Commonweal army, wn;o ! i
started from Massillon, Ohio, on Easter
Sunday, ended today by the interrup
tion of the police. Fortunately tbete
were no casualties, and tonight General
Coxey is addressing his burlesque army
in camp, while Marshal Carl Browne
sleeps in a police station cell, and Ohrti
topber Columbus Jones, the leader of
the Philadelphia commune, and thu
comedian of the movement, endeavote
to appropriate a share of tbe martyrdom
in an adjoining cell.
The performauce enacted within thf»
shadow ot the capitol today is withou. a
counterpart in the memory of Washing'
tonians. The broad smooth plaza o(
several acres facing the east front of the
capitol was packed by a crowd of men
and women numbering 10,000. The
capitol steps and the porticos under toe
Grecian pillare were tilled with people
of both sexes, well dressed, and most of
the members of congress were in the
throng, An early adjournment had
been taken by the senate on account of
the death of Senator Stockbridge, but
the house, not wishing to seem to be
terrorized by the demonstration, went
through the semblance of a session with
a handful of members. More than 200
city police reinforced tbe capitol
officers, and detectives from several
cities were sprinkled through the crowd,
for the concentration of lawless local
characters gave just grounds for ap
prehensions of trouble apart from the
resence of the Coxeyitea.
It waß shortly after 11 a. m. wben tbe
army halted in tbe public square south
of the grounds. Ita five mile march
down from Brightwood through tbe
principal streets of the city had been
witnessed by thousands. There were
500 men in line, Mrs. Annie L. Digga,
tbe Populiatic agitator of Kansas, in a
barouche; Goxey'a 17-year-old daughter
in white on acieam-coloredateed, repre

adelphia commune's goddess of peace;
the unemployed carrying white flags of
peace on etaves, and the nondescript
banners eetting forth the doctrinea of
good roads and enmity to plutocrata
aprinkled through tbe caravan.
Marshal Browne halted tbe proceesion
in the street, walked back to Coxey'a
carriage, the general kissed hie wife, and
tbe two moving spirits of the affair
forced tbeir way over the plaza to tbe
capitol etepa, their men acting under
orders aud standing in their tracks.
After Coxey and Browne passed, a
yelling crowd of several hundred men,
most of them following Browne, con
spicuous because of hia unique cos
tume, trampled and tore ita way
through the cosily ahrubbery, while the
equad of mounted police which had
headed the parade, dazed for a moment
by tbe unexpected move, charged reck
lessly into the mob's midst.
Coxey was confronted by the police
as he took his hat to apeak on the capi
tol steps. His constitutional rights be
ing retuaed, be thruat upon them a
printed protest, which proved to be a
well-worded epitome of Populiet doc
trinea.
Meanwhile Carl Browne was being
dragged by the collar of his coat through
the orowd to the nearest station, after
he had made a tight to retain his ban
ner. Two police captains, a lieutenant
and a sergeant thruat the mild-mannered
Coxey without violence back across eev
eral feet of humanity to his carriage.
Mounted police were forcing their horses
among the people, eeveral of them crack
ing their clubs over the heads of the
nearest persons. Women were shriek
ing iv tenor; men were yelling fiercely;
some were being knocked down and
trampled upon.
For five minutee there waa riot in that
section of the mob in front of the east
steps, which occupied about an acre of
the asphalt. Then the two agitating
spirits having been removed and half a
dozen particularly belligerent men hav
ing been taken in by the police, the dis
turbance waa quelled without serious
injuries to a siugle person.
Somehow the army was started off
toward Un new camp between double
lines of police, followed by a mob of
thousands cheering like demons for
Coxey and Browne. Within an hour
tbe capitol grounda had almost regained
their normal quiet, with only a few Hun
dred people strolling around.
General Coxey accepted the situation
philosophically. Hia army waa put to
work clearing up tbe new camping
ground for occupancy, while Coxey
drove over to the ofhcee of the district
commissioner with an eye to business.
He made application of them for tbe
necessary license to charge admission to
hiß camp.
The commissioners desired to consider
the proposition, so acting upon tbeir
suggestion, Mr. Coxey went totheolerk,
and by paying |5 aecured a license for
one day only.
"I have no complaint," aaid Coxey,
"to make aa far aa the police are con
cerned. They treated me witb great
consideration, for they had to carry out
the law, even if it waa an unjust one.
My apeech making, however, at the cap
itol ia over, and 1 shall not again at
tempt it. It would be ef no nae. The
