Gould expects to make a short stay, and his intention is to tour Europe before long. Regarding the plans of the Western Pacific Rallroad, which project recently floated itswponds for $50,000,000 in New York through the influence of the Gould combination, Gould said that would be commenced immediately. It is given out that while the West- ern Pacific is allied to a certain extent with the Gould interests it is by no means a part or parcel of the Gould system. In all traflic agreements it will give the Gould eystem the preference as long as there is no clash with the interstate commerce law. Gould and Hill seem to be very close and have had frequent conferences.

OMAHA, Neb.,, May 4.—Mae Wood, late this afternoon, placed a summons for Secretary Loeb in the hands of the Sheriff of Douglas County, where Miss Wood filed her sensational suit for damages, alleging that Robert J. former Postmaster General, ‘William C. Loeb Jr., President Roose- velt’s private secretary, and J. Mar- tin Miller, now consul at Aix-La-Cha~ pelle, conspired to steal from her Sen- ator Platt’s love letters, which she in- tended to publish. Miss Wood announced that she had her plans laid to secure service on Secretary Loeb on his return with the Presidential party from Cojorado. To- day she entered the office of the clerk of the court, quietly asked for a blank and filled it out. The order calls for the issuance of a summons to the Sheriff for Loeb. Major George M.

He demanded a key to open the box, but this being refused him, he shoul- dfrfid the box and backed out into the night. Knox and Hamilton immediately gave an alarm and in a few moments a posse of miners was on the trail. About a mile from the cabin they found the box, badly dented, evident- ly from blows of the bandit’s revolver, but with its contents untouched.

OF GHICAGD ARE UNABLE TO COPE WITH THE RIOTOUS STRIKING TEAMaTER. WO thousand men will be sworn in as Deputy Sheriffs to-day in Chicago, and Sheriff Bar- rett will take active control of the strike situation. This was determinéd upon after leading business men had complained that their inter- ests were injperiled un- der present conditions. The strikers yesterday were in a riotous mood. There was constant fighting in the streets, many persons being injured. Troops will not be called out unless the Sheriff fails to restore order. The effort of the teamsters yes- terday to involve the street- car men in the strike failed. Sheriff Raising a Force of 2000 Deputies to Pre- sene Order, AR LT Bloody Street Baltles Avouse Fears of Windy City G o e s Maie by Merchants in Swegping Resolutions, e CHICAGO, May 4.—Sheriff Thomas E. Barrett of Cook County will take "active control of the strike situation to-morrow morning. So much pres- sure has been brought to bear upon him and upon Mayor Dunne by men who believe. their interests to be se- riously imperiled by the constant riot- ing in the streets that the Sheriff has been compelled to swear in a large force of deputies and take active steps to do away with, the present disorder. Two hundred deputies were sworn in this afternoon at the office of Saeriff Barrett, and it is believed 2000 will have been enrolled by to-morrow evening. A committee of prominent business men, headed by John Shedd of Mar- shall Field & Co. to-day took steps to lay the situation before the Governor and declare that conditions are such that the militia is imperatively need- ed. The Chi¢ago Clearing-houss As-/| sociation this afternoon adopted sweeping resolutions declaring that the riots in. the streets were cons-ant- ly increasing in fury and had gone beyond the power of the civil authort- ties of the city and county to control. It was therefore the opinion of the members of the association that troops should be called out. The Sheriff is determined to take the situation in hand himself, declaring that until he has done so he will not be justified in calling for the militia. Mayor Dunne for three hours this afternoon rode through the downtown streets in a busgy and on his return to the City Hall declared that he had seen no violence and believed the po- lice to be fully able to cope with the situation. MEN ARE PICKED. Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters made a close scrutiny of all candidates for the position of deouty sheriff. Every man was required to produce some person who could vouch for his reliability. He announced that he would take neither union men nor representatives of the employers if he knew it. Two union men whaq had made application were detected before they were sworn in and were told they could nof serve. One of them was Steven Sumner, head of the Milkdrivers’ Union, who is now under indictment for conspiracy i connection with the strike. The teamsters made an attempt this afternoon to call out the employes of the.Chicago Unfon Traction Company. This corporation operates all the street car Hnes on the north and west sides of the city and is in the charge of receivers appointed by the United States courts. Albert Young, representing the team- sters, called upon General Manager Roach of the traction company and demanded that the company at once cancel its contracts with the Peabody Coal Company and receive no more coal from it. Young was informed that the contract would not be canceled and that the company would continue to recelve coal from the Peabody com- pany. W. D. lflaon, president of the national organization of street car men, was in the city, and after looking Into the situation to-night ordered all mem- bers of the Street Car Men's Union to | continue at- work. ‘were. under agreement, he declared, with the Union Traction ny, and this agreement ‘would not be s Notwithstanding the constant fight- TR grocers to-night 3 JLLn R e S A 8 8 SETEIT L 1 B OSSR R HEAD OF THE TEAMSTERS AT THE HEAD OF THE THE - STRIKING UNION DRIVERS.

The exvress companies were inter- fered with but little, and much progress was made toward relieving the con- gested situation at the various rail- road stations. The South Water-street Congmission Merchants’ Association, an ofganiza- tlon with a membership of over 400, decided to-day to: cast their lot with the Employers’ Association and to re- ceive goods from any.firm, regardless of whether such deliveries weré made by umlon or non-union teamsters. There was less disturbance to-day in the wholesale district, but the fighting went on with its usual persistency and viciousness in the heart of the fashion- able district. A number of non-union men were clubbed and beaten and their wagon guards and the police retaliated with vigor upon the rioters. In every instance the crowds were dispersed after a brief scrimmage, which was, however, in several cases of a rather sharp character. MANY PERSONS HURT. The number of injured was from all accounts about the same as that of the last three days. About thirty or forty men have been cared for at the various hospitals, and there are fully as many more who have received medical at- tendance and whose names are not known to the police.

In the riot to-night at Eighteenth and Dearborn streets Thomas Me- Cracken, a striking teamster, was stabbed in the neck and beat over the i head with a revolver by colored non- | union men. A number of the colored men who work for the Employers’ Teaming Company were leaving the barns at 1817 Dearborn street when a crowd of strike pickets hooted and commenced throwing coal and stones. A hand-to-hand fight resulted, dur- ing which McCracken was stabbed and beaten. A ‘riot call was sent in, and when the icers reached the scene a free fight was raging all over the street intersection. ; The police clubbed right and left and soon scat- tered the fighters. -McCracken was found unconscious when the others fled. No arrests were made. VOLLEYS OF STONES. In an attack made this evening upon five coal wagons belonging to the Standard Coal Company while they ‘were passing Harrison and Desplaines streets volleys of stones were hurled at them and several of the policemen and. drivers were struck. Michael Howard was seen wing a stone and Sergeant Quinlan made a dash for him. Howard fled with the officer in hot pursuit. When the .fugitive re- fused to halt Quinlan fired and the bullet - struck Howard in the hand. Cornelius Callahan, an oiler em- ployed by the city of Chicago, jolned in the riot and was struck on the head by a policeman and his scalp laid open for six inches. A mob to-day attackéd a peddler named A. Mottlewitz as he was pass- ing the cornar of Milwaukee and ‘Western avenues. A c¢rowd stopped him and crdered him to show his union button. He explained that he owned His own team and could there- fore not become a member of the un- ion. Dissatisfied with his explanation the mob attacked him, beat him over the head with bottles, cut his horses loose and wrecked his wagon. CONFERENCE FRUITLESS. A fruitless conference was held by the strike leaders and Levy > attorney for the Employers’ Associa- Attorney Mayer asked President Shea on what terms he would call off the strtike. Shea replied: “We will call the strike off on condition that the em- ployers discharge all the non-union men they have imported and take back the old men in their places.” 5 can’t accede to that ““Why, you have been hnwuw.ne- groes by the hundred,” said Shea. “Do you mean to say that you refuse -to discharge negroes and reinstate white men?” ¢ * long as a teamster does his work he will not be discharzed. be he black ,or white,” replied the lawyer. _ “That is an outrage,” said President ‘Shea. “You have brought these ne- in here to 13 ~ — “Then @o\Swat your peril,” retort- ed Mayer. | Shea said that the union wanted the strikers reinstated, after whick the em| Wwould be asked to.ar- bitrate underlying differences whicly brought on the strike. The re- ply of the attorney to this was: “Under ng. circumstances will we discharge-any of the men brought Rere to. take the places of strikers. We have nothing to -arbitrate. We assert our right to use the public streets for the transaction of our rightful business and the right to em- ploy teamsters, black or white, at our awscretion.”’ This ended the conferense and the labor leaders took their departure. S CONFERENCE ARRANGED. Governor Deneen and Mayor Dunne to Meet To-Morrow.* CHICAGO, May 4.—As a result/of communications between the city and State executives a conference issad to have been arranged between Governor Deneen and Mayor Dunne for to-mor- row evening or Saturday morning. The Governor is said to have assured the Mayor that in the meantime no order will be issued calling out the State trooovs. | A committee of twelve prominent merchants left for Springfleld to-day on a train, presumably to con- fer with the Governor on the situation. Renewed efforts were made to-day toward arbitration. It was stated that many conservative union ele- ments were working in conjunction with strong interests on the employ- ers’ side. A call was issued to-day for a peace meeting next Saturday. the outcome of a fresh movement by Dr. Corpelia B. Dey, Jane Adams and Emile Hirsch, whose efforts in the same direction falled a week ago. b oo bl TROY, N. Y., May 4—A crowd which at times numbered four or five thousand persons surrounded the col- lar factory of Cluett, Peabody & Co. yesterday, where a strike has been in- augurated by the collar starchers. Disturbances were frequent. Girls still at work were kicked and beaten as they entered or left the factory and the clothing was torn from several women.
