ALBANY, N. V., May 14.—A thousand
national guardsmen and a hundrel
mounted men will occu; y Albany's
streets tomewrow and attempt to force a
riotous crowd to let the cars of tha
United Traction company r :n wit'i nm
ui.jon men. The Tv.enty-thi d reg ment
of Brooklyn; the Tenth batlalon, of
Albany, and the Third pignal ccr. s will
make up the complement of men. Th y
will )>r reinforced by ZOO special deputi-s,
SCO policemen and over a hundred Pinker -

bloodshed and riotous scenes if today
will be repeated with much g.
fatality.
The results of today are one man
dying, fully twenty or t'ii ty .injured,
eighty men out of 350 brought here by
the company induced to d« Bert, the trol
ley lines cut, cars demolished and the
police almost powerless to cont'ol .hi

The company, however. Insists that it
■Will run its cars with p:ofection and it
is said late tonight that 30m mw n n

three important points.
STRIKERS IX UGLY
When darkness fell upon this city
ihH evening several thousand weary
; car strikers and syropatniz
era wont to their homes, but they were
iced by as many more, who toak
UP the vigil to prevent the Uni in Tract on
men from running their electric cars
•with no-n-uiiion men. The darkness
brought some confidence that there
would be no attempt before morning to
move cars, for two attempts made in
broad daylight had brought bloo.tshed and
riot on such a scale that the local police,
aided by scores of deputies and Pinker*
ton men, had been unable to quell the
disturbance. One man lies in a hospital
seriously wounded. One of the two cars
the company attempted to run is in the
gutter of a strcrt not two blocks from
the car house, wrecked, and t'ue trolley
■wires are cut in several places, practical
ly crippling the road. Near the car
houses are thousands of men and women
and children wrought up to a picch of
frenzy that bodes ill if the doors of the
car ( house open to let out any car. In
side of the car house, afraid even to
look out of the grated windows, are sev
enty-flve non-union men, whom the com
pany imported to aid in running their
cars.
Early this morning there wore about
350 of them, but by nightfall 65 had de-
Eerted and joined the ranks of the strik
ers.
POLICE POWERLESS.
The men claimed that they were
brought'here under a misapprehension,
and that they supposed they were going
to Philadelphia. This afternoon the police
practically admitted that they were pow
erless to take enre of the large crowds
on the streets if cars were run, and
General Manager McNamara immediate
ly called upon Gen. Oliver, in command
of the Third brigade, for protection. He
naid:
"We Intend to run out cars If it takes
the entire national guard of New York
state to protect us."
Gen. Oliver issued an order assembling
at their armory tonight the Tenth bat
talion of Albany, comprising four com
panies of national guard Infantry and
Third signal corps mounted. Gen. Oliver
said he would warn the remainder of
the Third brigade to be In readiness for
a call. The riot today was full of ex
citing features.
At ten o'clock two of the big car door«
swung open and out darted a closed car
•with all the windows opened. Immodate
]y there was a roar of hisses and shouts.
Several men made an effort to board the
car, but they were kept from d-olng so by
the policemen, one of whom was sta
tioned on each car step. The car made
rapid headway and almost before the
expectant crowd realized what had hap
pened it was well on its way over Quail
street. It continued on to the Union
station and returned followed most of
Ihe way by bicyclists and people in vehi
cles. The second car did not escape.
When the doors were opened the mob
surged towards it despite the efforts of

NKW YORK, May 14.—Official an
nouncement was made toJay of ii.be for
xnatlou of a company which wil acquire
the larger cotton duck ma.nuf.ietu in?
concerns of the country. The new c rn
pany will be known as the Unite 1 States

Banlzed under the laws of New Jers-y.
It v. ill havo an authorised capital of

the police. The crew consisted of four
men. dressed in plain clothes. As the
car swung around the curve there was
a rush for it, but the crowd was driven
back. The committee from the strikers
was allowed to approach the men.
"Do you want to come with us, boys?
You won't regret it."
BOMBARDED WITH BRICKS.
There was no response from any of the
men. The motorman with his smile gone
waved them aside and the car was off
again. AH restraint in the great crowd
broke. Through the middle of the street
men ran with women and children min
gled with the officers of the law, whose
clubs wtre swinging and arms moving in
vain almost to keep from danger. Same
stopped to pick up ston-es and were-push
ed and overturned to be kicked and stum
bled over by others. Bi fore the car
started two policemen boarded it. They
simply made two extra targets for the
stones and bricks. They had not gone
fifty yards before one's helmet was crush
ed and the other policeman was in dan
ger of having more than his helmet dam
aged. There was a perfect fusilade of
stones. They came from all directions
and crashed through windows, front rear
and sides of the car. The men on board
dodged and jumped from side to sl'Je to
escape them and were successful with the
(ion of the motorman. A great Jag
ged edged rock struck him full in the
forehead and he dropped to the floor of
the platform. It was a deep, ugly gash
the rock left and blood flowed from it
in a stream. The unfortunate man
dropped into a pool of his own blood that
covered the entire platform. The assist
ant, as soon as the man dropped, grasp- j
ed the brakes and controlling handle and'
faced the mob. A few feet more and the ]
car was upon an insurmountable barri- i
cade. With a sudden jerk it came to a |
stop and all who were on it were thrown i
forward, the two conductors falling'
amidst a pile of broken glass to receive
some ugly flesh wounds and cuts. The
conductors and one motorman joined the
strikers and the wounded men went to
the hospital. He said hl's name was Mar-]
shall and he lived at Green Point, L. I.
Five arrests were made and thus ended
the first day's attempt to run cars.
MORE RIOTING AT NIGHT.
Several thousand strikers and sympa
thizers charged at dusk a wagon load of
non-union men, who had been sent oat
from the Quail street barns to repair the
trolley wires which had been cut during ]
the riots of the morning. The wagon
left the barn under-the esco;t of fifty pa-!
trolmen including mounted officers and'
proceeded 400 yards soutn on Quail street,
through a crowd of several thousand
persons. The wagon had no sooner stop- I
ped for the men to commence work than
a wild rush was made for them. The
police were powerless to stop the storm
of stones and bricks _e?iowered upon the j
non-union men from vacant lots, cross
streets and house taps. The men lay up
on their faces upon the floor of the
wagon and surrounded by the mounted
men who used their clubs on the more
aggressive of the rioters were hurried i
back to the barns. Two of the- non
union men were injured. Several of the :
mob were severely clubbed. Three ar-1
rests were made.
The first ste p in the movement to quell
disorder by military forces was taken to
night when the Tenth battalion and Third
signal corps of the national guard as-
I sembkd at their armory. The order
calling out the troops created a profound
impression among the strikers and their
sympathizers and orowda surrounded the
armory. Later it was decided to order
out the Twenty-third regiment of Brook
lyn.

The Twenty-third regiment of Brooklyn

The optimism with which yesterday's

only temporary. »
A representative of one of the largest
houses said:
"Unless the Morgans and ICuhn, Loeb
& Co. accept some such arbitration, noth
ing can save the London market from a
serious smash. The temporary arrange
ment, it is believed, may overrun the
next settlement, but not much longer. It
is thought the arbitrators might set a

failures and meet the views of Mr. Mor

NEW YORK, May Justice Jerome
has in his possession a check indorsed
by one of the men who are supposed
to be responsible for alleged protected
gambling in this city. Today for the first
time the.Justice described the nature of
some.. of the evidence found in the re
cent raid on a place on East Fourteenth
street. He declared that the committee
of fifteen had found in this gambling
house the memorandum of a large pay
ment of money to a man prominent in
this city, and that this memorandum con
sisted of the check mentioned, which
had been indorsed at time of payment
by the man referred to.
Justice Jerome refuses to be drawn into
answers to questions that would furthea
identify the payee.
The justice was asked what he
thought the income of a police capta.n
was. He answered: •
"It all depends upon the precinct.. In
one raid evidence was found to indicate
that $2,600 was paid. There were ten
gambling houses in that precinct.. Multi
ply the amount by ten and you have
1 25,000 a year as what could be consid
ered a gratuity."
Justice Jerome was asked what
amounts he thought were paid for ap
pointment to a captaincy.
"From $15,000 to $25,000," he said. . "Of
course, this is » only an investment, and
the amount they receive are gratuities."

CUargc of Perjury.
OMAHA, Neb., May 14.—The county at
torney is making strenuous efforts to
hold James Callahan, the alleged kid
naper of Edward A. Cudahy Jr., on
charges of perjury, and the attorneys for
the defense are sparing no effort to se
cure his release. Tomorrow Callahan
will be arraigned before County Judge
Vinsonhaler on the perjury charge, and
the date for his hearing will be set.
The defense will ask for a dismissal of
tho case ,and discharge of the prisoner
on the ground that the charge was dis
posed of on his acquittal by a jury In
his recent trial for abduction. The
charges of robbery and grand larceny,
still pending In the district court against
the prisoner, will come up this week, and
will doubtless be dismissed as there ib no
disposition to carry these counts further
in view of Callahan's acquittal in his
first trial.

"I wish at the first to thank the gov

to the order and Its auxiliary while here,
also the local order, city officials and
'people generally 'for the interest shown
in our behalf. We have never received
better treatment, and that is saying
much.
PAST WORK REVIEWED.
"Our past as a labor organization has
been one continuous and never lagging
effort to advance the interests, improve
the conditions and elevate the standing
of the railway conductors. On the
whole our efforts have been crowned
with grand success. Wo find continually
new conditions to deal with and netr
complications to face. We have, how
ever,- accomplished a grand and a great
work In securing and maintaining higher
rates of pay, shorter hours for a day's
work, pay for extra service, more favor
able and considerate rules of employ
ment, more stability and security in posi
tions, and In materially assisting in se
curing legislation affecting a great reduc
tion In rteks attendant upon the calling,
and protecting th© right of the employe
to recover from the employer for per
sonal injuries resulting from, negligence
of the employer, or from incompetenoy
or carelessness of fellow employe. With
the bonds of fraternity we have bound
together 25,000 earnest, loyal, upright
men, all working to one common good
purpose. Fraternity means brotherly
love. It means the essence of the golden
rule. It 16 the hand-maiden of charity,
and li well entitled to go hand. In hand
with the three grftceo, of which charity

PLANS FOR PRESENT.
"Of our present I will say: Our record
in the labor world is an open book. Our
crder stands today in the foremost ranks
of effective, square-dealing, b-sines.*
--like latior organizations. We have 'tho
confidence of our members, tlic res. ect
of our employer; an I of the public, and
the friendship of our sister organiza
tions. Our • order is in a more healthy'
and vigorous condition than ever before .
in its history. Its membership was nev
er so large or so earnest. Its infill n:a
for good was never so strong."
"Much has been said from time to Mmo
of the peril which threatened labor or
ganizations and laboring people lro.-n the
attitude of the federal judiciary, which
has been held to be a standing menace.
Decisions have been made by federal
judges which seem to be unfair to the in- j
tert'sls of the workers; but as the causa
of liberty had its Kosclusko, its Wash-*
ihgton and its LaFayette, so the cavsa
of Justice and industrial freedom ha its
CaldW€ll, its Hallett, its Rinec, ;t ■ Har
lan and its Woolson. It Id not visionary
to predict that the future wllll see 1 ibor
organizations on etiual terms with incor* |
porated capital, legal entities in the
courts of the land.
•'As the miner bores into the very
heart of the mountain for the mineral
wealth, bo we will bore into the future
for the good which we know li« a hidden
therein. We will drive our drill of or
ganization with the sledge of education,
and as a reward for earnest, faithful la
bor, will wrest from the future the gcoi
we know it holds 'and "which Is legitimate
ly the property of him who can work It
out." ; •;.. . <■■-, -.;..:..,

outburst of applause which left no doubt
as to the popularity of the speaker.
MRS. MOORE SPEAKS.
As seemed most fitting, the next speak
er represented the Ladies' auxiliary.
Mrs. J. H. Moore, the grand president,
is a woman of pleasing presence, and at
the same time a forceful personall
which Is brought much In evidence when
she talks. She has a strong voice, and
knows how to handle it. In behalf of
the auxiliary association she thanked
the governor and the mayor* and th«
people of St. Paul generally for the many
courtesies that had already been ex
tended to both branches of the order.
Among other things, she said that to be
a true woman Is to have a wealth of
power, and she knew the auxiliary asso
ciation was exerting a strong influence
for good all over the country. She then
took pains to return a few compliments '
to the governor who looked extremely
happy at this particular time.
FIREMEN SEND GREETING.
Frank P. Sargent, grand master
Brotherhood uf Locomotive Fir. men,
was the funny man of the even'ng. Hl»
address was short, sweet and to tha
point. He first referred ito a comparison
made by the governor between M r.n •
BOta, Rhode Island and some other of
the New England states, saying it mi,'ht
bo true that Minnesota \va; larger thin
Rhody, but the governor had foigo t>
mention Vermont. If that state w ra
Ironed out, he thorght, it wouli te b'ff
ger than Minnesota. Then he told < f the
good time ho had been having ever »lnoa
the conductors had arrived, He Bald ha

in behalf of his little family of 25,0 0,
and that ho wanted to exto.d the > r> ■;.

of his order to the conductors and their
wives and daughters. He said the con-
