"This will be news \<> many," the story continues, "but it is an unde

The anti-Semite journals connect the
story with the Dreyfus affair. It ap
pears that about a fortnight ago, Fig
nor Resshiari had an immense quantity
of documents destroyed, declaring that
if they were left they might "harm va
rious people.'' It is also suggested that
the arch may have been instigated by I
Pignor Crispi. the former Italian Pre
mier, who practically dismissed Signor
Ressman from the Italian Em happy in
Paris, in L 895, because the diplomatist
had Failed to make the French press
favorable to the Crispi Government.
Prince Henri d'Orleana writes as fol

"I will bow before the decision of the

day he received a dispatch from

LONDON, Ont., July 9.— This city
is under martial law. At an parly
hour this morning: the Mayor read
the riot act and called out the
regular soldiers stationed here to
clear the streets. To-morrow the
streets will be patrolled by soldiers
drawn from outside places within the
military district, the police having
proved Inadequate to the task of con
trolling the mob.
Last night was the most exciting
ever passed in the city. The trouble
was the culmination of the street rail
way strike that has been on In London
since May 22. The strike began' last
November and was supposed to have
been settled, but broke out anew two
months ago. Since then no cars have
been run after dark. There have been
divisions among the strikers who were
operating 'buses, and a majority of
the men desired to resume work. Cars
have been running in the daytime, and
there ■:<>■• no organized effort to. stop
them until yesterday. In the afternoon
largo crowd* of men — mainly mechanics
and others employed in factories that
close down on Saturday afternoons
began assembling in the east end of the
city where the car barns are located.

The street railway is owned by the
Everett syndicate of Cleveland. Ohio,

YDA ADDIS TRIES
TO TAKE LIFE
ALMOST A MURDERESS
YDA ADDIS STORKE.
This notorious woman made an attempt to kill Attorney Grant Jack
son at Santa Barbara yesterday.
SANTA BARBARA. July Yda
Addis Storke, who became noto
rious through, the libel suit
brought against her by the county
for having written anonymous let
ters attacking Dr. Winchester and cer
tain women,- npw appears " before the
"public in the role of a would-be mur
deress. Attorney Grant Jackson, at
one time her best friend, but who
grained her enmity by testifying- against
her in the libel suit, was the intended
victim.
This morning at about 3 o'clock Mrs.
Stork» went to Jackson's house with the
intention of "finishing him up," as she
expressed it. but her attempt was un
successful. She gained entrance to a.
! bedroom through the window on the
southeast side of the house by cutting a
screen. once in the house she sat down
on a bed to arrange her plans. First she
opened the hand satchel she brought
with her and took out a four-ounce bot
tle of chloroform, a bottle of prussic
acid, and a bottle of cyanide acid and
carefully arranged them on the bed.
Then she selected the chloroform bot
! tle, and carrying with it some bunting.
which she had in the valise, she walked
cautiously into Jackson's room.
The would-be murderess stooped over
the sleeping form and arranged the
chloroform bottle in such a. position
that her arm would not tire before her
work was accomplished. The piece of
bunting -touched - Jackson's ' nose and
aroused him. but he merely turned rest
lessly on his couch" and again fell
asleep. He was aroused a second time
by the same tickling sensation and sat
up. He saw the woman standing over
him and asked:
"Who are you?"
"It's me. Grant," Mrs. Storke replied.
"Have you a gun?"
Jackson said that he had. Mrs. Storke
drew a revolver from the folds of her
! dress and Jackson was commanded to
hand over his weapon, Mrs. Storke say
: ing she "had the drop" on him. He
obeyed the command, He asked the
woman what she wanted there at that
time of the night. She exclaimed:
"That's my business. Don't talk too
loud— you will awaken the rest of the
! house."
They entered into conversation and
Jackson attempted to divert her atten
-1 tion. He watched for an opporunity to
i seize her, but she kept him covered with
; the revolver. Finally his chance came.
1 She reached for her handkerchief which
la-- on the floor, and he instantly
sprang upon her. They grappled. for
ten minutes before Jackson overpower
ed her. He tied both hands behind her
back. Then he called E. Tallant. a
neighbor, who summoned an officer,
and Mrs. Storke was placed under ar
rest. She begged Jackson on her knees
not to arrest her. assuring him that she
would pay him a large sum of money if
he would let her go. She was taken to
GREAT INDIAN POWWOW AT
WINNEBAGO RESERVATION
CHICAGO, July 9.— A special to the Times-Herald from Decatur,
Neb., says: The greatest Indian powwow in recent years began at the
Omaha Winnebago Indian reservation to-day. It is heM at Yellow
Smoke's lodge, five milea north of Deeatur. A great many Indians have
already pitched their tents and great preparations are being made for a
two weeks' celebration. The Indians of the reservations of Northern Ne
braska have been arranging for this .sreat event for months. The chief
tains gave it out to th>- whites that the celebration • this year would
eclipse anything attempted by the Omaha and Winnebago tribes during
the last quarter of a century.
The traditional rites and ceremonies of these ancient tribes will be
Performed. If not prohibited by the authorities, the ' savage war dance
will be indulged in as a grand finale. The chieftains say the evpnt will
draw together no fewer than 5000 Indians.
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
f the County Jail and a warrant for at
| tempt to murder was served. "When In
terviewed she said:
"I have nothing to say. I merely
went to Jackson's room because I knew
! I would find him in a better mood and
| then could talk to him undisturbed. I
i went through the window because I
' have been accustomed to enter that
way. as I have been in the house a
number of times and at all hour's of the
night. The chloroform T had with me
i on account of heart trouble and why I
carry the other articles is nobody's bus
: mess."
Jackson's story is different. During
'■ the conversation at his bedside he ask
j ed why sh^ was th-=>re and she answer-
I ed:
"I am herp to kill you and then com-
I mit suicide; so don't be in a rush—
! we've both got to go."
"She asked me for my pistol, which
': T handed to her," said Jackson. "I fin
ally succeeded in striking up a conver
! sation and branched off on to another
subject altogether. She has prowled
around the house very often, but
; never seemed desperate in any way. I
saw my chance to grab her. 1 tied her
i hands and threw her on th<» bed and
j called for Bd Tallant, a neighbor. In
< the meantime she turned over, seized a
revolver with both hands and discharg
ed it, the bullet going through the floor.
I An officer came and she was placed un
der arrest."
A number of persons have believed
. themselves in danger since the trial for
libel, and the attack upon Jackson will
result in a vigorous attempt being made,
to place Mrs. Storke behind the walls of
San Quentin.
Km. Storke was to have been sen
tenced in the Superior Court to-morrow
for criminal libel. When Mrs. Storke
was searched at the jail she was found
to have a second revolver with her.
