—Sheriff's Threat to Summon
Vt
Troops Has Good Effect.
.»
A
Chicago, May 5.—Bluntly warned by
Sheriff Barrett that troops would be
asked for by him if the police and dep
uty sheriffs together proved unable to
control the violence, strike sympa
thisers were less in evidence about
many of, the strike bound stores an,d
stables today. Chief O'Neill today is
sued a general order to arrest all per
sons following the police guarded wag
ons.
$8 2,000 Guardians of Peace.
Two thousand men constituted the
police force available for strike duty
today. With this number the police
officials expected to guard 1,200 wag
ons,' a decided increase over yester
day's total. Sheriff Barrett announced
today that pending developments the
swearing in of deputy sheriffs would
be confined to 200 men so as not to
burden the finances of the county
more than is necessary.
Down Town Streets Quiet.
For possibly the first time since the
strike began, a caravan of sixteen coal
wagons manned by non-union colored
teamsters traversed the center of the
city today absolutely unmolested. Not
a jeer was heard as the wagons moved
along the streets.
Retail Stores Deliver Goods.
A cknvass of the State- street shop
ping district showed that delivery
wagons were sent out today from
nearly every retail store. In many
cases policemen furnished with ligjit
runabout buggies accompanied the
wagons.
.The general resumption of deliveries
of goods to residences, though on a
greatly restricted scale, was in decided
contrast to the results on previous
days, when such traffic had almost
reached the vanishing point.
*7?- -Fight at Barns.
Bricks and ball bats were used with
blood- letting effect in Dearborn street
near Nineteenth street today. While
a score of nonunion negroes were pre
paring to take out wagons to transfer
goods they were attacked by a mob of
strike sympathizers. Several men
were hurt. Harry Jameson, a by
stander, had his head cut open with
a baseball bat and will probably die.
The police dispersed the rioters after
beating many men over the head with
.their clubs.
£, Shea Issues Statement.
President Shea of the Teamsters*
uplon, issued a statement claiming
that the Employers' association is
bringing colored men from the south
and is trying to incite violence in or
der to crush unionism. He also
scores the banks for declaring in res
olutions that. a state of rebellion ex
ists in Chicago.
There was less rioting today than
yesterday and fewer people were in
jured:
There have been minor additions to
the ranks of the strikers today by the
refusal of drivers for several firms not
heretofore involved, to deliver goods
to boycotted stores.
Many Delivery Wagons In Use.
The retail stores increased their de
liveries in the residence districts with
very little interference today and
scarcely any difficulty was experienced
in making deliveries to wholesale and
retail merchants down town.
Produce dealers are talking of clos
ing their stores because the express
companies are still unable to deliver
shipments of butter, eggs, etc., from
the country.

SHERIFF FINDS SOLUTION TO PROBLEM
OFFERED BY GREAT CHICAGO STRIKE
Special Good Roads convention in this
city ha's been changed from Saturday
May 27 as first announced to Monday
May 29. The date was changed at the
request of the local committee and it

week for the merchants and their busi
ness requires the presence of most of
them in their stores nearly all day and
until, late in. the evening. Many farm
ers come to the city on Saturday, but
spend the most of their time in shop
ping and attending to other business
matters and would have little time to
attend the three sessions of the con
vention on that day.

TORNADO AT
CINCINNATI
WIND DEMOLISHES FARM HOUSE
AND INJURE8 ITS OC­
CUPANTS.
Cincinnati, Iowa, May 5—Special).—
As far as telephone communication Is
concerned Cincinnati has been isolated
until today since Wednesday night,
when a storm of tornado size struck
the little town and did much damage.
The farm house occupied by Oliver
Ross and family, about four miles
southwest of town, was completely de
molished when the wind struck it and
Mr. Ross and1 members of his family
were more or less paTnfully. injured.
The second story and roof of the
house were lifted from the first Story
and carried to the ground. The mem
bers of the family, who were on the
second floor when the storm struck,
took refuge in a cave. Despite their
fall none of them was sertously in
jured but the shock and exposure to
the rain which followed the wind
caused them much inconvenience. Mr.
Ross was severely bruised about the
head arid bod yand all his teeth were
knocked out.
Snow In the Northwest.
St. Paul, May B.—Weather condi
tions in the northwest, particularly in
North Dakota and Montana and north
of Winnipeg, have been very unusual
during the past twenty-four hours.
There was a heavy fall of wet snow
in that section, ranging in depth from
sixth inches to a foot. While the snow
interfered with the running of trains,
it was not of sufficient depth to actu
ally stall them.

Aimed at Preserving Lives of Youths

kosh May Be Made State Capital.
Madison, Wis., May 5.—The knell of
the giant firecracker has been sounded
in Wisconsin, and hereafter its boom
ing will not be an accompaniment of
Fourth of July celebrations. No more
will this destructive instrument re
peat its yearly harvest of fingers, eyes
and cuticle In this state. Curiously,
enough the giant *cracker met Its Wa
terloo at the handa of a tombstone
dealer, assisted and- abetted by other
members of the legislature and the
governor. •.' rS iy
Tombstone-Maker Author.
"Bill" Turner jof Columbus, who
sells monuments and grave ornaments
when he isn't making laws, Is the au
thor of the measure which was passed
yesterday. He Bald he did not care
if it should tend to cut down his sales.
He thought that If It was wise to de
prive the youth of the deadly cigarette
it was equally wise to deprive It of the
deadly giant cracker."
The law, which goes into effect at
once, does not prohibit the manuf&c
ture and use of the smaller sizes of
firecrackers, a fact in which the small
boy will doubtless find some degree of
satisfaction. It prohibits the manu
facture or sale of firecrackers more
than five inches in length and five
eights of aq inch In diameter. It also
forbids the use of any explosive In
crackers except ordinary gunpowder.
The penalty for violation of the law Is
severe, being ja finfedf from $60 to
$l6d- or imjjrxltfujKMgflr df from six
months to a year, or both fine and lm
prisonment.
May Move State Capital.
If a bill ordered to engrossment and
third reading in the senate yesterday
becomes a law the people of the state
will have an opportunity at' the next
general election a year from next No
vember to vote on the question of
moving the state capital to Oshkosh.
In the meantime the bill providing for
a $2,400,000 capital building here to
take the place of the present struc
ture, which was damaged by fire a
year .ago, probably will not be passed
this session.
Governor LaFollette has sent a mes
sage to the assembly vetoing the Bohri
bill cutting exemptions from wage $60
to $30 a month for three months as
against debts contracted for food,
clothing, fuel and other necessaries of
life.
