There was furious fighting and more than thirty-eight people were injured, none, it is thought, fatally. The police fought desperately and finally succeeded in rescuing the car crews, who were being beaten by the mob. The trouble followed a parade of union men arranged by the Super- jor Trades and Labor assembly as a Jestimonial of sympathy for the strik- ing carmen. Several cars manned by non-union men which attempted to pass through the proeession were held up and put out of service. “The “throng “threw sticks and stones through windows and sides regardless of the passen- Two policemen were on each car 2nd a large number of officers gers. summoned to the scene were unable to stop the destructive attack and es-| cape was invariably balked by the trolley being thrown off by the mob.

CHANGE CANAL NAME Spokane, Wash., Sept. 20.—Special to the Pioneer—The name can’ rather than “Panama’ is best suited to the big isthmian project, in the opinion of 1,200 leading busi- ness men of Spokane. In support of this idea, the Spo- kane Chamber of Commerce has in- augurated a campaign having for its object the re-naming of the canal. Resolutions emphatically urging the advantages of the name “American’’ as opposed to “Panama’” have been adopted by the chamber and will be submitted for ‘aprpoval to leading commercial organizations of the Unit- ed States. The Spokane people interested in the plan hope to secure united action of various organizations throughout the nation in urging upon the presi- dent the desirability of the proposed change. “Ameri- STATE RETURNS.

JOHNSON TO BE ~NEXT™ SHERIEE_ Reports From Northern Part of the County Show He Will Be Nomi- nated by Easy Margin, HAZEN IS LOSING STEADILY Canvass of Official Returns Makea Certain That Few Precincts Are With Him, COMMISSIONERS RACE IS CLOSE Clémentson, Hilden and Rulien Neck and Neck in the Second District. The count on the ballots from fifty- eight precincts puts Johnson in the lead over Hazen by ninety-three votes. Each precinct which comes in is ad- ding to Johnson’s vote. There are but nine more precincts to be heard from. The board of canvassers start- ed work this morning but will not be done before Sunday- The fight in the second district for commissioner is growing hotter with each precinct received. For the latest figures, see tabulation else- where on this page. With returns from the north coun- try coming in, the nomination of Johnson is conceded. With forty-six out of seventy-seven precincts re- ported at 11 a.m., Johnson had passed Hazen and had a lead of eleven votes. Hazen’s early lead gained by his car- “the, &ity5E Bemidji-hgs:heen cut down two or three at a’time am the country districts there are no indications that he cam regain the ground lost. Johnson’s lead of eleven is made on official returns and do not include his home town of Shotley which is said to have given him a plurality of twenty-one votes. If this is the case, Johnson's lead at this time is thirty-three and gives every promise. of increasing. Nolan is running se far behind that is is believed Johm- son will capture an actual majority and make a count of the second choice useless. A fight has developed in the north end of the county on commissioner from the second district. The pres- ent commisisoner, Helic Clementson, is opposed for the nomination by N. A. Rippy, A. J. Hilden and William Rulien. On the face of the returns in this morning, the race is a close one with Clementson second man. Reports from outside indicate that there will be no change in nomina- tions from the list printed yesterday. The charge is being made that many Democrats have voted for Eberhart in the primary in the hope that he will be nominated as they think he will be the easiest man to beat. A. A. Andrews, Democratic candidate for county attorney, is in hot water far he fears that there have not been enough Democratic votes cast to nom- inate him although he had no oppo- sition. Judge Stanton is running strong in the Northern part of the state. but Stewart appears to be developing un- expected strength in the south. Aa the returns from the north come in it is believed Stanton’s figures will jump. .
