When re- quested to give an interview I replied that I had nothing to say.” HUNTING COMPANION ALMOST SHOOTS LOUBET Sensational Story of Attempt on the French President’s Life Is Explained. PARIS, Aug. 3.—1It is explained that the report that an attempt had been made to shoot President Loubet arose from an in- cident that occurred while he was walk- ing with General Faure, General Biquet, Governor of Paris, and Major Lamy of the President’s household staff, after a shooting party at boulllet. As the party was walking along, Major Lamy saw a wild duck and fired at it. Some of the shot passed near the Presi- dent, who skipped aside.

Men in Ambush Hurl Showers of Stones at the Troops. Entire Eighth Regiment Is Called to Arms at Night After Re- peated Assaults Upon Sentries. e SHENANDOAH, Pa., Aug. 3.—The en- ire Eighth Regiment was called to arms last night as a result f three attacks by men in ambush who assailed the troops now in camp on the plateau outside the These attacks are becoming so fre- quent that Brigadler General Gobin has decided to adopt stern measures to end them. To-night a double guard, supplied with ball cartridges, surrounds the camp and the sentries have been instructed that If last night’s stone-throwing is re- | peated they must shoot to kill and inves- | tigate afterward. One of the attacking party, a Lithanian named Willlam Stopo- nitz, is under arrest and the provost mar- shal is on the trail of others, who number more than a dozen. he first attack, according to Colonel Theodore F. Hoffman, was made at 10:4 last night. Private Payne of Company I, on sentry duty, saw a party of men on the Mahoney City road, which separates | the camp of the Eighth Regiment from | the Twelfth. He commanded the men to halt and called the corporal of the guard, but before the latter could respond a shower of stones and rocks was thrown at the sentry. One rock struck him on the chest, knocking him down and causing s gun to fall from his hands. He| jumped up and fired several shots into the | air, and_as he did so the man ran down | the road. One of the pickets captured Stoponitz, but the others escaped. TWO LATER ATTACKS. The shooting aroused the whole camp. The Eighth Regiment was put under arms and Companies B, E and K were soon out in skirmish lines. They beat the un- derbrush and laurel, which is five or six to find any one and the regiment returned to_quarters. Fifteen minutes later another shower of stones was thrown at the stable guard, located south of the Eighth Regiment. | The guard turned out and three men were | seen running away, but no pursuit was given. Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning an- other attack was made, and it was of such a nature that the bugler, under or- ders from Colonel Hoffman, sounded the entire regiment to arms. The stable guard was egain the object of attack, | several volleys of stones being sent in the ection of the sentries. The regiment was under arms and ready for action within three minutes. On account of the laurel and underbrush | end the darkness, the scldiers could not | see the offenders. The sentries fired | about a dozen shots into the bushes, but it is believed no one was hit. Some of the bullets went whistling over the tents of the sleeping soldiers of the | Twelfth Regiment across the road. The noise of the firing and the bugle aroused the Twelfth Regiment and the Governor's troop of cavalry, and each sent out detachments to investigate the trouble. Another thorough Investigation was made without result, and then the com- mand, standing in formation furnthh'(y was & not again disturbed. ORDERS SENTRIES TO FIRE. Colonel Hoffman made a report to Brig- adier-General Gobin, who came to camp during the day to make an investigation. | He put Stoponitz through a searching examination. The prisoner said there were only four men in the body. He gave one man’s name as Michael Lavotiz, and sald he did not know the others. He made several contradictory statements. Stopo- nitz was placed In the guard tent, an to-morrow will be turned over to the civil authorities. The brigadier-general has is- sued orders that stringent measures be taken with all such offenders. “I have ordered several rounds of ball cartridges to bf issued to_each sentry,” he said, “and that the officers of the guard also will be increased.” Colonel Hoffman said: “Last night's occurrence demonstrates that we can be ready for any emergency in three min- utes, and hereafter will stand no non- sense, and will give a bdullet for each stone.” The colonel said there was an ugly feel- ing among many persons against the troops. Reports are being made to him daily of soldiers being annoyed on the streets. It was the intention of Colonel Hoff- man to give a parade in the town as a compliment to the brigadier-general, but owing to last night’s affair the parade took place within camp. The soldiers spent a quiet day. There was a large Sunday crowd out. To-morrow the cav- alry will be sent out on short marches. General Gobin to-day gave out the fol- lowing statement: by ““The published reports to the effect that members of the National Guard refused to work in laying water pipes to the camp and that certain soldiers had sug- gested that they were union men and therefore could not assist in the work is absolutely untrue and without any foundation.” STRIKERS ARE CONFIDENT. Miners in the Coal Regions Show No Signs of Weakening. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Aug. 3.—Presi- dent Mitchell made another wisit to Scranton to-day. Before departing he said there was no change in the strike situation. He did not think that an at- tempt would be made to resume work at any of the collieries during the coming week. From what he could learn the Ox- ford mine in the Lackawanna region was being operated by new men. None of the old employes had returned and at a meet- ing they pledged themselves not to re- turn. Mitchell said the same condition pre- valled throughout the entire region. The strikers_were still confident they were going to' win and so long as they felt that way there was little probability that they would report for work. It was reported to-day that work will be resumed at the Woodward colliery of the Delawate Lackawanna and Western Company to-morrow, and that a number of old firemen would report for work. J. F. Mullahy, State secretary of the Sta- tionary Firemen’s Association, did not think that any of the firemen would go back, but he issued an address to-day urging all striking firemen to keep away from the mine and stand by President Mitchell until the strike was won. The Public Alliance and the Working- men’s Alliance, two organizations said to > opposed to the Citizens’ Alliande, have been organized here. They will send a petition signed by thousands of citizens o the coal operators asking them to ar- bitrate and if they refuse Governor Stone will be requested to take some action to compel the coal companies to make new terms with their employes, A A STRIKERS A’l'l‘AEK CARS.

The Sheriff of Hancock County with seventy-five armed deputies is on the scene. The trouble arose from an attempt to prevent the running of its cars by the Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Company. Recently a quarantine was established by Hancock County against this city on account of smallpox here. The traction company stopped running its cars until yesterday. When an effort was made to resume, the police of Charlottesville stopped the second car, arrested the motorman apd sidetracked the car. Later othef cars were run through the town. Late last night a car was assalled by a fusillade of shots from the guards and villagers and G. M. Kirkpatrick, one of the directors, and several other pass- engers were wounded, ‘raffic was resumed this morning, but this afternoon a car loaded with passen- gers was stopped, and later the Sheriff of Hancock County, with armed deputies, was ordered to the scene to enforce the quarantine. When the first car arrived the Sheriff afid deputies arrested the mo- torman and conductor. The company heard to-night that the mob had purchased dynamite and would blow up one of the bridges and part of the track before morning. A'gcore of the company’s men have been armed and or- dered to patrol the track. Bloodshed be- fore morning is feared. It is expected that the quarantine will be lifted to-morrow, but the company is determined to run its cars, and the mob and the Sheriff are just as determined it shall not. . © ettt eleldelelelel @ At noon James Saunders, & union man who refused to quit, was taken from his car and dragged toward the Ohio river. On promising not to resume his car he was escorted gome in a round-about way to_ escape the crowds. The conductor on the same car and linemen were taken home in cabs to escape the mobs. Cars were held up in all sections of the city until noon when traffic was sus- pended. The non-union men were afraid to run through the crowds at Catletts- burg and Ashland, Ky., and other points on the Kentucky and West Virginia side of the Ohio river. The Ironton strikers ran cabs and ob- tained most of the trafiic. The concert at Beechwood Park, the railway company’s pleasure resort, was abandoned, the Iron- ton orchestra declining to play after the strike was declared. The crowds of union sympathizers had full sway without molestation from the authorities, not a policeman showing up at any of the points of disturbance. 4 The local militia will leave for camp to- morrow and the preservation of order will devolve upon the officials in case of more serious outbreaks, almost cer- tain to occur if the cars are operated. General Attorney Vinzon of the Camden company arrived here this evening and had an informal conference with the strike leaders. He sald the company was willing to recognize the union but there thered at street intersections, hurling Tuit, eggs and other missiles at motors | ‘was no assurances to-night of speedy set- tlement. o INDIANA STATESMAN WHO WAS ASSAULTED BY BAILEY OF TEXAS IN THE SENATE CHAMBER AND WHO NOW PROPOSES TO ENTER 1 THE CAMPAIGN IN THE LONE STAR STATE. . — - the most strenuous activity of Senator | Bailey for the Democratic eandidate in the district and accentuating the differ- ences between Bailey and Beveridge, which the leaders of both parties are now anxious to have dropped.

He has engagements enough in Indiana and other Northern States to occupy all of his time.” HUNDRED DIE [N GINGLE DAY Continued Spread of the “Cholera in the Philippines. MANILA, Aug. 3.—Cholera is increasing in Manila and the reports from the pro- vinces show a large number of cases and deaths. cases and 525 deaths from cholera in the provinces. Since the outbreak of the epi- demic there have been throughout the archipelagos a total of 21,408 cases of cholera and 16,105 deaths. It is believed that many cases were not reported and the total number is estimated at 28,000. Forty-elght Americans and eighteen Eu- ropeans have died in Manila since the outbreak. The United States transport General Al- ava will leave here for Singapore, Straits Settlements, next Tuesday to meet Gov- ernor Taft, who is returning from Rome, and bring him to Manila. The Chamber of Commerce and the Federal party are now arranging to give banquets in Gov- ernor Taft’s honor upon his arrival.

DISOBEY STRIKE ORDER. Carmen Refuse to Quit Work and Trouble Follows. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Aug. 3.—There has been general disorder to-day through- out Huntington, Central City and other towns through which the line of the Cam- den Interstate lines run as a result of the general strike order of motormen and conductors, which was to have taken ef- fect to-day. But few of the motormen and conductors in West Virginia and Kentuc)fy obeyed the order, but every man_quit work along the line in towns on the Ohio side of the river. The lines here were blockaded by the friends of union dabor, and the city authorities seemed powerless or rather made no effort to preserve order. The Sheriff also refused to act and the company officials have ap- lied to Governor White for protection. otormen, conductors and passengers have been dragged from cars and the dis- ofl}gr see{ns on“thhe 1ncre?se, lb\;t cars are still running with non-union labor o Side of the Oblo River. s Coal Miners Are Still Standing Out.

Policemen Armed With Rifles Pre- vent Wholesale Murder, and Fears Are Entertained That Torch May Be Applied. Sas fuy i Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANG! LES, Aug. 3.—The accidental killing of Joke Marino by a Southern Pa- cific train in the new yards of that com- pany to-night caused the most serious riot which has occurred in this city in many years. Only the prompt arrival of a large party of railroad men and police, many of whom were armed with rifles, prevented the lynching of the entire train crew. The Southern Pacific has imported sev- eral hundred Mexican peons to work on the site of the extensive new shops which are béing built in East Los Angeles. These Mexicans are quartered in a long string of boarding cars, which have been placed on a siding in the yards. There are numerous children among them and the children habitually play under the cars, the orders being that no other train be shunted into that switch. To-night a yard engine crew was mov- ing several cars of cattle, and witle pass- ing through the yards a coupling broke and the cars dashed into those occupled by the Mexicans, causing Marino to be ground to pieces under the wheels. The cries of the boy’s mother excited the Mexicans and they made a dash for the railroad men who had left the engine to ascertain the extent of the child's in- juries. Had they caught them they would have killed them, but the railroad men deserted their train and took flight across vacant lots and through dark streets. The Mexicans pursued them closely, hurl- ing stones at them and many carrying drawn knives in their hands. The railroad men reached a sub-police station in East Los Angeles and once in- side, with the assistance of the members of a fire company, kept the excited crowd back until help could be sent from the central police station. Fifteen policemen were sent and this force was increased by thirty or more Southern Pacific em- ployes from the rallroad yards, armed with pick handles and fish plates. The Mexicans were finally driven into their cars and the members of the train crew escaped on a street car. To-night a patrol 6f police armed with rifles is guarding the company’s property because some of the Mexicans threatened to apply the torch. Missing Woman’s Body Found. CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis., Aug. 38— The body of Mrs. George Wolf, who has been missing since June 27, was found to- day buried in the sand four miles south of this city. Mrs. Wolf was last seen alive on the night of June 27 driving with her husband, who has since disappeared. To-day George Bollinger, while prodding the earth with a wire, discovered the body. Marks on the face indicate that death was inflicted with a heavy instru- ment or stone. aTRONG KEEPS OUT OF SIGHT May Yohe Goes to Paris but Is Unable to Locate Him. She Says That His Threat to Kill Himself Caused Her to Follow Him. PARIS, Aug. 3.—May Yohe reached Paris this morning, but up to midnight she had not seen Putnam Bradlee Strong or learned of his whereabouts. Miss Yohe reached the railroad station at 6 o'clock this morning. She suffered | greatly and was unable to walk of stand as a result of having sprained her knee on the eve of her departure from London. Miss Yohe's nerves were completely un- strung. She had to be carried to a car- riage at the station and to her room upon | her arrival at the,hotel where she is| stopping. The doctor who was summoned prescribed complete repose and would not | allow her to see any one during the day. He sald rest for at least one week would be necessary to permit the recovery of her injured knee. | Miss Yohe became calmer this evening and_insisted upon taking a short drive | in the Bois de Boulogne. A press repre- | sentative saw Miss Yohe to-night. She | was evidently greatly disappointed at not | having heard from Strong and said: | “I came here straightway upon recel ing a message London from Mr, | Strong, through a friend, that unless I | came fo meet him in Paris he would do | away with himself in forty-eight hours; | but I have not seen or heard anythlng% of him yet, nor do I know where he is. He said he would telegraph me to the | | hotel here, but I have received nothing. | | I do not want anybody to think I am | | running after Mr. Strong, for I am not; | but I feel that if he comes to me and | acts like a man I can forgive him and for- get his cruel treatment. That is why I| came here. | | _“I sacrificed everything,” went on Miss | Yohe, with tears in her eves, “to my love | for him, and I feel it bitterly hard to be treated in this way.” She then opened a gold ‘locket which she wore at her throat | and showed two photbg¥aphs of Strong. She said she had three more phofographs | of him on the mantel piece in her bed- Toom. As soon as Miss Yohe is well enough | to travel she is going to Genoa to.redeem | the jewels pawned there. She deposited | the tickets for the jewels with the man- ager of her hotel. ‘When asked if she intended to reappear jon the stage she replied emphatically, “T { do not; I received an offer while in Lon- | don from an American impresario to ap- | pear in Paris, but I declined it.” Miss | Yohe said she and her mother had enough money to live on comfortably.

The victim is Arthur H. Swift, a member of the class of 1382 of Brown University, who married a daughter of Frank A. Rhodes, one of the society belles of this city and of a family distinguished in the colonial history of Rhode Island. Mr. Swift went to South America soon after his marriage, where he represented a house dealing largely in disinfectants. There was much illness in the country at the time, and the young couple were exposed to smallpox, from which they were very {ll. After their recovery they returned to this city, where Mr. Swift took up South American trade. Personal friends noticed a peculiar and remarked change in Mr. Swift's appear- ance a few months ago. His complexion was becoming dark purpie and his skin had an ashy appearance at times. He went to the Rhode Island Hospital last week for treatment.
