A number of non-union men have been arrested on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, and to-day the attorneys for the Employers’ Teaming Ass | asked if their men had not the right to carry weapons provided they were held in open vjew and were not concealed. i Chief O'Neil replied that ghere was no |1aw against it, and arrangements Wwere iprumptly made by the employers to 1 Place rifles on every one of the wagons, “Over a thousand of these ‘weapons latter part of the afternoon a number of wagons went through the streets with a rifle lying across the knees of the driver.and his assistant. MAYOR DUNNE OBJECTS. When Mayor Dunne was informed of the fact that rifles would be carriea by the non-union men he Was visibly dis- turbed and declared that the police will not be permitted to authorize the car- rying of arms by any one, whether in the employ of the Employers’ Associa- tion or affiliated with the strikers. ““The Chief of Pofice will give noau- thority to any one to carry arms,” he said. “The City Counefl to-night resolution directing the.Chief of tion | Continued on’ Page 2, Column 3. passed a Police to enforce that portion of the State] X were purchased to-day, and during the |+ SCIENTIST.

At that time Wynne wanted to succeed Mf. Payne as Postmaster Gen- eral. He did so, and at a terrible cost. Mr. Payne was driven to his death— hounded into the grave by political enemies. Wynne and Platt were not friendly. The greatest cause of this was—well, say the admiration they both had for Mrs. Janeway, whom Platt married. “Mrs. Janeway was formerly a chor- us girl. When she met Platt he fur- nished a home for her in Washington. Mr. Wynne was a frequent visitor at her home. The jealousy beiween the .men resulted in a political animosity, 'and 1 was sought to be used as a tool ito get . Platt's scalp.

It Tooks suspicious that the letters ar- rived in the department in the morning mail and I did not get them until late in ‘the evening.” ™ Giving her reasons why the letters were taken from hef, Miss Wood said: “Wynne wanted to be Postmaster General. He needed Platt's aid. Platt opposed the appointment and hung it up until they made me surrender the .letters, which I was at the time plan- ning to nublish. Wynne was then ap- pointed Postmaster General. “By the way, I did not say in the announcements of my book that it was compiled from letters from Senator Platt. I did not intend to say that to the public. If Platt and his people had kept quiet no one would have known the letters were from the Senator, but they could not keep still over it. I had no hostile intention whatever in writ- ing the book and did not intend to say who the letters were from.” “Asked why Secretary Loeb had been brought into the suit, Miss Wood said: “It will all come out at the trial un- less these men are cowards and do not dare allow themselves to be served with summonses.” | = Miss Wood said 'further that there were 'some extremely sensational fea- tures to her case which had not before been made public.

SPEOPLE CARNAGE REDDENS WARSAW STREETS SoldiersShoot Fleeing Men, Women and Children. iOther Cities Add Their Quota to Long Roster of Dead and Dying. | - WARSAW, May 1.—Nearly one hundred persons were killed or wounded in disturbances in various quarters of Warsaw to-day. The troops apparently were uncontrollable and violated all orders to act with moderation. They fired into the crowd of demonstrators, and workmen, in desperation, resorted to the use of firearms and bombs. Many women and children are among the dead and dying. ‘What approaches a reign of terror exists to-night; the city presents a most gloomy aspect and the temper of the entire community augurs ill. The presence of numerous patrols of Cossacks, cavalry and infantry is the only reminder of lurking danger. No untoward incident was reported until after noon. The first disturb- ances occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock this atfernoon, when a procession of several thousand workmen, carrying red flags, marched along Zelasna street. The demonstration was quite orderly and proceeded without molestation for some distance. Suddenly several squadrons of Uhlans appeared, but with- out interfering with the procession, and took up a position along the side- walks, while the workmen passed through the lines. Then a company of infantry approached from the front, and immediately the cavalry charged into the procession, driving it with the flat of their swords into a disorgan- ized mass. UNPROVOKED SHOOTING STIRS ALL CLASSES. When the cavalry withdrew the infantry fired a volley, wheréupon the demonstrators turned and fled. The infantry continued to discharge volleys into the retreating, shrieking multitude. Thirty-one persoms were Kkilled and many wounded, and of the latter it is believed fifteen will die. The shooting is described as having been quite unprovoked. It has aroused intense indignation among all classes in Warsaw. Many of those who were killed or wounded were shot in the back, showing that they were running away when they were hit. Another terrible scene was enacted at 5 o'clock at the cornmer of Hlota ard Sosnore streets, when workmen fired from behind a wall at a patrol which immediately opened fire on the passing crowds, killing or wounding twenty persons. £ The first bomb throwing occurred at 9:35 o’clock to-night, when a bomb was thrown intg a Cossack patrol near the Vienna station. ‘Three Cossacks o were killed, a { Who were ng the sta- sacks and infantry fired a number of volleys, and it is reported that many persons were killed or wounded. Troops surrounded the -vhole neighborhood. It “has been impossible up to the present time to obtain accurate information as to the casualties in this affair. % At 10:45 o'clock disturbances broke out at the Zomkowska gate of the suburb of Praga, across the Vistula River. ~ A great erowd had assembled there, threatening the troops, when Hussars fired upon the crowd and killed four and wounded many more. In Jerosotini street a map fired into a patrol from the roof of a house, but without result. SERIES OF OUTBREAKS IN THE CITY OF LODZ It was reported by telephone from Lodz this afternoon that a crowd thers had stoned a military patrol, whereupon the soldiers fired and Kkilled two men and wounded a boy. A similar outbreak occurred later in Baluki Square, in Lodz, where two persons were killed. In Lodz, also, at 9 o'clock to-night, a bomb was thrown at a patrol, but it was not effective. The patrol fired inte the crowd and killed wounded two persons. A student who was distributing proclamations in Wolla, Warsaw, was killed to-night by a patrol In Nawrot street, in Warsaw, to-night a patrol killed a woman. To-day’s bloodshed is likely to very seriously affect the genmeral situation and may cause a general strike. The temper of the people is at white heat and there is much apprehension regarding the possible events of May 5, the 114th anniversary of the proclamation of the Polish constitution, when, disturbances and demonstrations always occur. * To-night there is every Indication of trouble. All the ground that has been gained since the disturbances of last January has now been lost. Only passenger trains are leaving Warsaw to-night and these are crowd- ed with refugees and manned by officials of the engineering department, all the engine drivers, firemen and porters having quit work. Day Passes With No Riotous Outbreaks ~in the Cities of Russia Proper. a suburb of ST. PETERSBURG, May 2, 2 a. m.— Aside from the expected Mayday dis- orders in Poland, where revolutionary parades led to sanguinary encounters with the police and troops in Warsaw, Lodz and other industrial centers, per- fect order prevailed yesterday through- out Russia. There was no sign even of a desire to stir up trouble, indical the baselessness of rumors that been current for some time of plans of rioting and pillage on the second day of the Easter holidays. - Correspondents at Moscow, "Odessa, Kieff, Minsk, Nishenev and other points stated that Russians of all po- litical faiths devoted themselves to the customary holiday festivities, with apparently no thought of disorder, and in St. Petersburg even the industrial quarter, which had previously been throbbing with discontent, the day took on the appearance of merry-mak- ing and feasting. Governor General Trepoff, who is closely in “touch with the situation, early realized the state of public feeling, and while he did not withdraw the troops or police from | strategic positions he issued orders { that they keep out of sight and avoid The explosion of a bomb early Mon- dnymorniuln-rwminnnnmrt- ment-house, while not connected with any plan of risting, indicates that the terrorists are still preparing to execute vengeance against individuals, unde- terred by the lrr:‘.otz of a score of par- pants in one “i tel from Lodz reports tke f two persons who were wound- ga‘-l? aoeoml!on with the police on Sat- i urday.
