COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 14.—
For the present, at least, the prob
ability of a spectacular pitched
battle between the Taft and
Foraker-Dick factions in this
state has passed. The fight is
still in progress, however, and the
indications now are that it will
terminate only with the retirement
from public life of either Senator
Foraker or Secretary Taft.
Chairman "Walter F. Bro«— of the
state central committee called off today
the meeting of that body which; was
to have been held here tomorrow, by
the dispatch* of a. tele sram to each
member.; of- the body.
The meeting was to have been an ad
junct, to the general conference of
party leaders scheduled for tomorrow,
which was so suddenly called off last
night by Senator Dick. The . Foraker
faction has all along- claimed that the
control of the party machinery was in
its hands, and there was feeling
among many of the followers of Sec
retary Taft throughout the state that
the time had come to prove the accu
racy of the assertion. Telephone calls
and telegraph messages rained in all
morning upon Chairman Brown and
Arthur I. Vorys, the Taft campaign
manager, urging that the meeting of
the state central committee be held,
despite the fact that the larger con
ference was not to meet.
BROW!* SUPPORTS TAFT
Chairman Brown, whose statement last
night that in his opinion the conference,
if held, would have unanimously in
dorsed Secretary Taft for the presi
dency, placed him squarely In the sec
retary's following, proceeded early to
day to hold conferences with prominent
republicans. His first visit was to the
office of Governor Harris, with whom
he remained for an hour. From there
he visited tLe office of Vorys, and they
conferred for two hours. It was at
this latest meeting' that the decision
was finally reached to call off the meet
ing: of the state central committee.
Chairman Brown said that the call
for the conference had been Issued only
in pursuance of the call for the general
conference; that having' been called off
by Senator Dick, its original advocate,
the chairman did not believe that he
should insist upon a meeting of the
committee for any purpose other than
that originally designed. If a special
meeting were desired later, he said, it
could be called at any time.
WAR SECRETARY'S PLANS
-
In the meantime the Taft forces are
about to force the Issue. They are
about to "smoke out" the leading- offi
cials of the state and invite them to
indicate where they stand — for Taft or
for Foraker. After this part of the
program has been. carried out & meet
ing of the state central committee may
be called and Its members given an op
portunity to declare themselves.
The republican organization of. this
county adopted Taft resolutions today.
The county committee was called to
gether for the purpose of formulating
instructions to the Columbus \u25a0 delegates
to Senator Dick's conference. When the
conference was called off it was decided
to indorse Taft anyhow.

Rioting, more widespread and violent than any which
has marked the operation of the cars of the United Rail
roads! since "the shooting in Turk street, took place yester
dayj-in the -Mission district, where cars were : mobbed, pas
sengers, assaulted; and' individual strike breakers badly
beaten^bjr union men and • strike 'sympathizers.-
: - The | police, { scattered \ at : intervals along the ' car lines,
werc£ powirless Jto^ prevent i fiie > trouble^ which { continued
almost rorri noon? until -the last cars -were taken
into at 7; o'cloc^iast : night. ,: At .the end of -the
(dayfs^ work many r of the "strike \ breakers informed officials
of trie ; road that \ they, would not take "but the company's
cars again unless 1 provided with revolvers with which to
icfehd: themselves. ' G
The rioting centered around Hhe carbarn at Twenty-
ninth, and. Mission streets, where crowds of union men
arid Vsympatfrizers, stationed • themselves during- the day.
Atf s .o'clock the number of strike sympathizers lining the
streets 5 \vas augmented by hundreds of men returning
from work, 'who rode in .buses to the Mission district arid
lingered td : share in the demonstrations against the. strike
breakers and ; those'-" persons who had the temerity to - ride
ori'the years.
i In .contrast to the violence in the Mission district
•was, the comparative freedom from trouble in the north
of ? Market, street sections; ; Along Market street itself
there 'were^ numerous instances of ; individual ' ruffianism
and viplencey; but the cars operated on the 'uptown lines
met with no/organized \u25a0 hindrance at the . hands ; of "the
crowds and were packed ; during the day- to a point that
brought a vivid reminder of the straphangihg times before
the, strike. This was especially true , of the Sutter and

The most serious rioting since
Tuesday's bloody battle occurred
on Mission street yesterday after^
noon. The police lost all control
of -I the situation and cars were
bombarded for blocks. In one in

and assaulted the crew. Every

A woman with a baby In her arms
was a passenger on one of the cars on
Mission . street yesterday afternoon.
When the mob charged the car and the
rocks crashed through the windows she
held her babe to her breast In an agony
of-fearl.'An eyewitness states that a
"paving block that came through the
window where she sat passed within a

conductor came to her aid and com

Passengers were followed as they left

they had distanced their pursuers.* One
man was overtaken andjcruelly beaten
until he was dragged away, from the
