INFURIATED STRIKERS STOP AT NOTHING Every 1 the City Visited Mad Rash of Rioters and a Scene of Pre- Devantation Is sented Everywhere, rATERSON, N. J, June 18.—This eity in the hands of a mob today and as a result of the riots a number of persons | were shot and two at least will die. The police were so few in number that they could make little headway against the mob. Mille were wrecked with stones and bul- lets by the striking silk dyers’ helpers or roughs acting for them and there were threats to resort to the torch, but so far the mayor hesitates about asking Gov renor Murphy for troops. Thers seems to be every Indication that the riot was the re- sult of a prearranged plan to involve the ‘would-be peaceable element in the affair from the start. Among the leaders of the trouble was a man named McQueen and another named Gallaneo, the former an Englishman and the latter an Italian. Others, agents of anarchist circles have been quietly fanning the flames. This morning Chairman McGrath, who has hell the strikers In leash since he first gained control on the first day of the strike, was on hand. eH spoke, as did McQueen and Galleano. Then McQueen leaped into con- trol of the meeting. He called for & vote on the question of calling a general strike of all branches of the silk trade. All voted in favor and a committee was appointed to consider means for bringing the silk work- ers out. Gallaneo was one of this com- mittee. It gathered amid a babel of tongues and a scene of confusion. Rush for the Mills. Five minutes later Gallaneo emerged trom the group, shouting something in Ital- fan. Instantly a mob had formed about him. Into it rushed the Italians and the oher forelgners and a moment later the mob, led by Gallaneo, swept down Belmont avenue. A qparter of a mile down Belmont avenue stands the Columbia mill, a silk ribbon factory. The doors had been locked when the mob appeared, but they forced them open and with the crash of the doors came a volley of stones which riddled the windows in the front of the bullding. President Grossgebauer telephoned for the police. Stones rained into the office and flew about his head. Twenty young women on the first floor stood at bay and threatened to fight and the weavers on the eecond floor ran dowp to their ald, but all were forced out of the mill. The mob then swept on down Beimont avenue. Bever: members of the Group of Existence, Brescl’ old comrades, with Galleano at their hea were In the lead. A half mile march brought the mob to the Cedar CUff mill, where they stayed until all the operatives were out. Just beyond the Cedar CUff is the Rhinewarner mill. The doors were burst open there and the men and girls were found ready to go out. The mill was closed. The next place vis- ited was a cotton brald factory. It seemed to make no difference to the mob whether #t was In any way conmected with the #ilk trade or not. Women Workers Hyste The women became hystirical bowling rioters climbed in windows and burst In the doors. Mr. Reinhart, the owner, ordered his employes to quit for the day. The mob rushed through the cot- ton works and did much damage and then poured on down the street to Bamford Bros. mill. Here four policemen faced the mob for five minutes, telling them that the em- ployes had gone out by the rear and the works were closed down, but they were un- able to prevent serious damage belng done to the property and were themselves badly beaten. A sign ‘‘Dyers’ Helpers Wanted," displayed at the mill entrance, particularly enraged the rioters. A section of the mob went to the Bam- ford home close by. The police sought to head them off, and did so, but a shot was fired and a bullet went through Patrolman Robinson’s right arm. It staggered him, and as he was regaining his feet a jagged stone hit him on the head, laying open the scalp. Supported by his comrades, Rob- inson was taken to the Bamford home. The remaining three drove back the mob from the house and the attack on the mill Wns renewed. The young women in the mill tried to get out and were driven back, but escaped later by the rear. Martha Huyser was uck by & stone and one of her arms badly hurt. A re- porter who was in the mill was hit on the bead with a stone and his scalp laid open. The mob swarmed into the mill and it would have been wrecked, inside as well as out, had not a patrol wagon loaded with officers charged through the mob on CHff street. Stones rain do on the wagon and none of the officers eacaped. Ofcers Draw Revolvers. al. as the Patrolman Irving Post saw & man hurl & rock and fired, the bullet striking the roter in the neck. Before the officers could get to the man he was haulpd into the mob and hurred away. With revolvers drawn the officers quickly deployed and the mob fell back. A block away Galleano @agaln appeared and led the mob through Temple street to Pelgram & Myers' mill, where the employes were compelled to come out. Flushed with sucoess, the mob pushed across the Main street bridge to the New Jersey Bilk company's establishment, where the employes were driven out. At Levy's mill, River and Bridge streets, the man- ®ger met the mob at the door and assured the leaders that the employes were pre- paring to leave. When the mill was emptied the strikers moved on, passing on through River street to the Laurel, the Empire and the Augusta mills, where only Patrolmen Fields and Titus were on guard, and were powerless against the mob. The managers of the three millls had deter- mined to empty their mills, and two of them did so, but the Augusta mill was still full, though shut down. The mob found this out and burst in. They found of the mill, Jed by Mrs. Parker, dete IN DANISH POLITICS of Inlanda to United States to Be & Factor in Com Campaign.

SALVADOR GREATLY EXCITED Decision in Burrell Case Throws the People Into a State of Frensy. NEW ORLEANS, June 18.—The Ilatest news from the republic of Salvador, via Guatemala, indicates a state of frenzy aroused by the recent decision of the Wash- ington court of arbitration in the Burrell case. The president of the little republic and most of the members of the national as- sembly have signed a pronunciamento to the people, declaring that the decision of the court was a scandal and a crime, that the judges were bribed, that the Salvadorean representatives were treated in a scandalous fashion and that Dr. Zaldivar, one of the Salvadorean representatives, was recreant to his trust and is now in Europe to escape the results of his actions.

HIRED MAN LOSES HIS NERVE Contesnes and Shows Story of Acei- dental Death Was to Cover an Elepement. HURON, S. D, June 18.—(Special Tele- gram.)—What was supposed to have been a fatal accident and has since proved to be an elopement, has caused much excitement and indignation in this community. Roy Underhill, who has been employed on the ranch of Mr. McHathron, has made a full confession of the affair, implicating himselt and Mrs. McEathron, wife of his employer. They plotted and carried out the elopement while Mr. McEathron was in Chicago, as fellows: Undeptill and the woman left the ranch, presumably to drive to town, but later Underhill returned alone, stating that an accident had befallen them, in which Mrs. McEathron was drowned in the river. A pafty, including many prominent citi- sens, was at once formed and a search instituted. The buggy in which the two had been driving was found badly smashed on the river bridge. All day yesterday the searchers dynamited and dragged the river n quest of the body of the supposed victim. Underhill, who is now in custody, con- fessed to having himself broken the buggy on the bridge gnd then driving the woman to Iroquols irda hired vehicle, where she took a train. He was to follow later and join her whem accidental death had been establisbed. The feeling here {s very strong and it may go hard with the prisoner if the public has the opportunity to deal with him. TO EVADE I0WA TAXATION Portland Mining Company Belleves Levy In that St Exorbitant and May Incerporate Elsewhere, COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 18.— (Special Telegram.)—A special meeting of the stockholders of the Portland Gold Min- ing company has been called for August 18 to consider a proposition to organize and incorporate the company in some state where the taxation laws are more favorable than Iowa. During the last year the state of lowa has assessed the company to pay & tax of $52,500 and the Portland is now fghting the matter in the courts. The amount paild In Colorado for taxes was about half that. As three-fourths of the Portland stock s owned by five Colorado Springs men who are favorable to & change being made, it is probable that the stockholders will vote for the proposition. Mders Meet.

CANNON'S HOT SHOT TO RICHARDSON Loud Opposes Carriers, Are Increase for Letter Believing They Being Well Pal WASHINGTON, June 18.—The near ap- proach of the end of the present session of /3gperess was signalized by a general po- 1 _speech by Mr. Richardson of Tenn- the leader of the minority. Taking na, Atage of the latitude allowed during the debate, he delivered a set speech of over an hour and a half. He arraigned the republican party for its failure to keep ite platform promises, dwelling especially on the question of trusts and the necessity for tariff reduction. Mr. Shallenberger (dem.) of Nebraska also made a political speech, condemning the administration for removing Miss Taylor, a clerk in the War department for criticising its Philippine policy, and for ‘justitying General Wood's expenditures for the promotion of recipro- city legislation. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropriation committee, in a brief reply to both speeches, sald he was ready to go to the country on the record of the republican party. He caused much merri- ment on his side of the house by describing the republican party as puiling the wagon, while the democrats stood off and found fault. Mr. Bartlett (dem.) of Georgla of- fered an amendment to the defictency bill to reimburse the Cuban revenues for the salary allowed by Secretary Root to Gen- eral Wood out of the island revenues. In the course of some remarks early in the session Mr. Cannon declared that if he could have his way congress would adjourn sine die before July 4. The general de- ficlency appropriation bill, the last of the supply bills, was passed. A night session was held, at which the house considered bills reported from the committee on In- dian affairs. Loud Raises Opposition. Mr. Underwood of Alabama, at the re- quest of Mr. Stephens of Texas, ehtered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill to open 480,000 acres in the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reservations in Ok- lahoma was defeated at the session last night. He sald he would not press the motion at this time. The house then went into committee of the whole and entered upon the considera- tion of the general deficiency appropriation bill. While Mr. Cannon, who was in charge of the bill, was trylng to arrange for the division of time he announced that if he could have his way congress would adjourn sinp die before July 4. The snnouncement was greeted with applause on both sides of the house. It was arranged that general debate should extend for two and one-half hours. Mr. Loud of California, under the latitude allowed in general debate, submitted some remarks upon the question of salaries for postal employes. He sald that he belleved that the government should pay Mberal ealaries—as high as private corporations, but no higher. No employement in the government service, hy maintalned, should have advantage over private employment. A government employe had lberal leaves of absence. His employment was continuous whether times were good or bad. While there was, he sald. a steady agita- tion for the Increase of the pay of postal clerks, rallway mafl clerks and letter car- rlers, the particular agitation was for the increase of the pay of the latter class from an averuge of $618 to §1,200 & year. He declared that, all circumstances considered, the pay of the letter carriers was the high- est for the service performed of that of any branch of the government service. He undertook to show, comparatively speaking, that if the letter carriers should recelve $1,200 the rallway malil clerks, whose sala- ries average $1,020, should get $1,600. At the conclusion of Mr. Loud's remarks, Mr. Richardson of Tennessee, minority leader, took the floor. The republican party, he sald, had absolute control of all branches of the government for six years. He pro- posed to examine into its trusteeship. When Mr. Richardson declared that the democrats were willing to remain in ses- sion until the snow flew in order to give the people some rellef from tariff taxa- tion his democratic colleagues llve him a round of applause. Mr. Shallenberger of Nebraska briefly condemned the action of the secretary of war in dismissing Miss Taylor, a clerk in the War department, for criticising the ad- ministration. Warm Words by Cannon. Mr. Cannon made a brief reply to the speeches of Mr. Richardson and Mr. Shal- lenberger and aroused great enthusiasm on the republican side of the house. I listened with care, for almost an hour and a half,” said Mr. Cannom, “to the re- marks of the gentleman from Tennessee, the leader on the other side of the house, and after listening to him I am here to confess that on this side of the house, and 1 rather suspect on that side of the house the millenium has not yet come. (Laugh- ter.) We are not perfect, and we do not claim to be. We pull the wagon and we do the work, and you find the fault. You have been at that now for over a generation, and still we have pulled along. (Laughter and applause.) It does you good and I do not think it burts us. (Laughter and applause.) You had full power under Cleveland. You come in power partially from time to time, but then you had full power. It is recent— from 1893 to 1897. Don't you wish you could blot but the recollection of the man- ner in which you exercised it? (Laughter and applause on the republican side.) And for gall and cheek, with the recent per- formance now when we are dolng the best we can, meeting every obligation, the coun- try prospering, passed through the war with honor, passed through the war with justice, solving the questions that grew out of that war and solving them with courage, notwithstanding the criticism and opposi- tion, gentlemen of your party, still you scold. It is the way of the world. Go on, I do not think you can fool the people.” The bill was then read for amendment under the five-minute rule. Bartlett Offers Amendment. Mr. Bartlett of Geor offered as an amendment to appropriate §26,600 to reim- burse the revenues of Cuba for the amount paid Governor Wood out of the Cuban rev- enues by direction of the secretary of in excess of his salary as brigadier general. “With great grief and pain, observed Mr. Cannon sarcasticelly, “I am compelled to raise the point of order that the appro- priation is mot authorized by law. Mr. Bartlett pointed out that a somewhat similar provision appeared in a former de- ficlency bill to pay back to the Cuban rev- enues the “money stolen by Rathbone, (Contioued on Fitth Page) IS NEARING A FINAL VOTE Interest in Isthmian Canal Question Steadily Incresses na the Days Go By. WASHINGTON, June 18.—Interest in the isthmian cal question increases as the time for a final vote in the senate ap- proaches. Tomorrow at 2 o'clock the vot- ing on the amendments to the pending Nicaragua canal bill will begin and a final disposition of the matter is expected to be reached soon afterward. The senate today devoted its entire ses- sion to the consideration of the canal ques- tion. Extended speeches were delivered by Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin and Mr, Hanna of Ohlo in advocacy of the adoption of the Panama route and Mr. Pettus of Alabama advocated the selection of the Nicaragua route. Mr. Teller of Colorado briefly an- nounced his support of the Panama project, while Mr. Jones of Arkansas indicated his leanings toward the same route. Little that is new was developed by any of the speakers. Taylor Cnse led Up. When the senate convened Mr. Allison called up the house resolution providing that the conference committee on the sun- dry civil appropriation bill be authorized to consider and recommend the inclusion of necessary appropriations to carry out the several objects authorized in the omnibus public bufldings bill and it was agreed to, A bill to restore to the active list of the navy Surgeon John Walton Ross, as medical director was passed. A resolution offered several days ago by Mr. Carmack, directing the civil servico committee to inquire into the discharge from the War department of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor (for the publication of articles in newspapers criticising the president) was called up and Mr. Carmack addressed the senate In support of the resolution. He maintained that the requirements of the civil service law had been flagrantly vio- lated In this case, inasmuch as he said Miss Taylor had had no charges preferred against her, nor had she been afforded op- portunity to make answer to any charges. He maintained that a letter Inquiring whether Miss Taylor was the author of a certaln newspaper article, and her admis- sion that she had written the article, did not constitute & charge against her within the meaning of the civil service law. He intimated that she was discharged ‘“be- cause she took the wromg side of the Philippine question from the administra- tion point of view." At the conclusion of Mr. Carmack's re- marks the {sthmian canal question was lald before the senate. Mr. Jomes of Arkansas belleved it to be the duty of every semator to vote for the canal at the best location. Personally, he said, he would not vote for the proposition that would lmpede the progress of the ca- nal's construction. He was not willing to brush aside the unanimous report of the tsthmian commission in favor of the Panama route, unless It be for substantial reasons. He favored the Panama route, but would not vote for it if there were any doubt of the good faith of the offer. He desired Mr. Spooner, who was about to address the senate, to explain the charge that the adoption of the Panama route was to have no canal at all. Spoomer on Canal Bill In beginning his speech in support of his own propositiem, M, Spooner said the construction of an isthmian canal was a colossal enterprise and one which he be- lleved the American people with notably little division of sentiment, desired should be inaugurated and carried forward. No higher or more solemn duty ever rested upon men in public life than to determine this question rightfully. Mr. Spooner eulogized the isthmian capal commission, declaring that nobody would attempt to impeach its integrity, ability or engineering skill. All knew that the ob- Ject of appointing the commission was to afford congress the data and expert opinion which would enable it to proceed conserva- tively and wisely. He declared that the eyes of the American people had not been focused simply upon the Nicaragua route. From the time the commission was ap- pointed, it had not been a question of a canal (as all favored that), but merely a question of route. Mr, Teller of Colorado maintained that practically there was no authority for the building of & canal by either the Nicaragua or Panama rout Mr. Hanna then began his closing argu- ment in support of the adoption of the Panama route. The members of the Isthmian Canal commission, he said, had been appointed because of their ability, integrity and engineering skill and he pre- sented answers to questions he had pro- pounded to them, the answers being par- ticularly In favor of the Panama route. He maintained that both the Panama and Nicaragua routes were perfectly feasible and practicable, but said the preponder- ance of the evidence in hand was in favor of Panama. Mr. Hawley read from a document to show that the climate at Panama was & deadly one and insisted that on that ac- count the United States should not select that route. In advocating the adoption of the Nica- rauga route Mr. Pettus declared that the American people wanted and would have an isthmian canal to be bullt, owned and controlled by the United States. The District of Columbia appropriation bill ‘'was sent to conference, and Mr. Spooner offered some amendments intended to perfect his substitute. At § o'clock the senate adjourned. REMOVAL OF MAINE WRECK Assistant Secretary of Navy Writes Chalrman Foss of House Commite tee Relative to Matter. WASHINGTON, June 18.—Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy Darling has written to chairman Foss of the house committee on naval affairs approving the proposed bill providing for the removal of the wreck of the battleship Maine and the recovery of the bodies thought to be in the wreck. Mr. Darling says: The interests of the department are in nowise affected by the proposed legisla- tion, which appears to be designed, so far as the recovery and interment of the dead aboard Maine are concerned, to grat- ify a laudable sentiment throughout. the country in favor of such action, and no objection is perceived to the passage of the measure, It has been asserted at times that the Navy department is not desirous of having the wreck removed, owiug to the isgues it would revive over the cause of the wreck.

LONDON, June 18.—After being almost hermetically closed to the public and press for two months, Westminster Abbey in its coronation dress was described In today’ London Times. Commencing with the a: tificial annex, which externally blends so perfectly in color and architecture with the old structure as to deceive the ex- perienced, the correspondent says the abbey inside has the appearance of a vast hall with a timbered roof, supported on square plllars and carved arches. Here the pro- cession will be formed. Upon the walls are costly tapestries and a collection of old armor, etc. The stands in the abbey itself, the erection of which caused some disap- proval, are so placed that the architectural beauty of the ancfent building is by no means marred. They are draped with a mixture of delicate blue and old gold vel- vet. On elther #ide near the west end are priceless tapestries, lent by the duke and duchess of Marlborough, and a thick, dark blue carpet has been laid down. It. was specially manufactured for the occasion and is ornamented with the star and garter, the rose, thistle and shamrock and the Egyptian lotus wreathed in laurel. The transepts are filled with seats to the south for the peeresses, for peers. Above them are two great gal- leries for the members of the House of Commons and their wives. The peeresses’ chairs are of the Chippendale pattern and are ample enough to make the most portly duchess comfortable. All the chairs are engraved with the crown and the date of the coronation. An inscription on each chair is secretly marked, so that formed reduplication would be impossible.

Ho Yesterday: CE T T EBREEERE NORBECK IS STILL MISSING Alleged Minneapolis B r Cannot Be Found and Detective is Sup- posed to Have Been Kid MINNEAPOLIS, Mion., topher Norbeck, whos was brought to a pause yesterday by his disappearance, is still missing. The opin- fon that Norbeck is in Mingeapolis or St. Paul gains ground. The fact that he was seen i{ntoxicated as late as 5 o'clock yes- terday morning supports this theory. The newspapers have received mysterious of- fers by telephone to turn up Norbeck for $500 in addition to the $100 offered by his bondsmen, but the person telephoning hange up the instrument before terms cap be come to. This has led to the theory that the detective was kidnaped and 1s being held by some one for reward or ransom, The organized labor friends of Detective Harvey, in jall charged with per- jury and bribery, have banded together and promise to raise his $5,000 ball. Maryor Ames today formally ordered the police department to drive out the crooks now operating and to enforce the liquor or- dinance strictly.

B, G. MeGilton. Fowler Prout, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 18.—(Spectal Telegram.) —This ticket ‘'was nominated by the repub- lcans of Nebraska in one of the most nu- | merously attended, most enthusiastic, most - i ? stubbornly contested and most protracted ate conventions in the history of the party. There was the most extreme ten- slon and at several points in the proceed- ings it seemed that the chief prize, the governorship, was about to be snatched, now by this candidate, now by another, until finally the award was made with al- most unanimity. The contest for the gov- ernorship gave room for a dlsplay of po- litieal maneuvering and finesse that called into requisition all the shrewdness of the most astute and experienced politiclans n Nebraska. It was a battle royal, waged for more than seven hours, in which the forces were marshaled and deployed under skilled generalship that seemed almost equally matched on both sides. One by one weaker candidates were forced off the field, one column advanced and another pulled back, taxing the staying qualities of the supportces of the different pirants to the very wtmost. The first ballot for governor disclosed the different candidates about the relative po- sitions which had been indicated by The Bee In Its forecast of the conventon. Rob- ertson of Madison led with 252 votes, with Black of Franklin a close second, with 202, mostly from the Fifth district. Wilson of Lancaster, Mickey of Polk, Jessen of Otoe, Sears of Burt and Dinsmore of Clay were a bunched close together between 100 and 150, Only three scattering votes were recorded, two of them for Governor Savage, one of which came from his home county, Custer, and the other from Nemaha. The plan of action was readily visible. In the North Platte Robertson and Sears stood to the front, but while Robertson had his reserve strength massed, Sears was unable to draw in recruits and gradually fell behind, In the South Platte, while Black was In the lead, all the others continued to grow and Dinsmore soon took an impetus that made him the leader over all. Van Dusen Pulls Out, The second ballot eliminated Van Dusen, whose name was neatly withdrawn by a few words by Judge Baxter. Sears remained in the race until after the ninth ballot, and Wilson made his exit at the same time. Dinsmore reached his maximum on the sixth ballot, when he went up to 419, though he regained most of his strength again after the supper recess, when he reached 414 on the eleventh ballot. Rob- ertson’s maximum, strange to say, w aleo reached on the sixth ballot, when he registered 382, from which he gradually fell off untll he finally withdrew in favor of Mickey when Madison was reached on the twelfth roll call. It had been seen by the men behind Rob- ertson that he could not make the goal from the time that he began to lose, and all their efforts were directed to prevent- ing the success of Dinsmore, who was his chief opponent. To do this a feeler was put out for a rally behind Jessen.
