is raers mme Chicago Police Will Not Tolerate Picketing of Houses of Mourning. —_— Outrageous Incidents cf the Liverymen's Strike Call for Prompt and Emphatic Action. Agents of the Liverymen's Union Were Told Very Plainly Where to Get Off. Chicago. Dec. 22. — Picketing of houses from which funerals are to start, whether peaceful or violent, by union livery drivers who went on strike four days ago, and which has seriously interfered with the burial of the dead in Chicago, is to be prevented by the police under directions issued by Chief of Police O’Neil. J. R. Wadsworth, secretary, and Charles Stevens, business agent of the liverymen's union, were summoned before CMet O'Neil last night and told in decidedly plain language that any differences the union might have would have to be settled away from the 1 houses of mourning. “This picketing ot tt? homes from which funerals are being held is beyond the toleration of a civilized coul mtinily,” said Chief O'Neil. "Your l zeal has carried you beyond the pale l of endurance, and such an unheard of thing as carrying labor troubles to the houses of the dead will not be al lowed by the police. Vnder no circumstances will 1 permit picketing of any kind around a house where a funeral is to proceed. And I must say that it ought not to be necessary for me to take this step. “Law or no law. picketing of every kind around these houses will have to stop. I shall take my chances with the courts on Ihe question, if my conduct is questioned In any court." Chief O’Neil then issued a general order to all the inspectors of police' on the line of his conversation with! the two union officials. He instructed! the commanding officers to accompany funerals in carriages, if circumstances seemed to require it, to see that the last rites of the de-td were in no way interfered with. While the courts have inclined to permitting peaceful picketing. Chief O'Neil's order tends to prohibit pick eting of any kind around the houses of mourning. He declared that in his opinion no court would be found which would fail to sustain an act of such evident ne< <titv and propriety as that contemplated by the police department On top of Chief O Neil's order catne the announcement that police plans | looking to a s -ttlement of the strike ■ had been launched. Through the es I forts of the Chicago board of arbitra j tion. which was largely instrumental i in the settlement of the laundry strike last summer, a committee of four was upjioluoil at a meeting ot tile four liverymen and undertakers’ associations to meet with a committee of four from the drivers' union and endeavor to bring about an amicable adjustment of the trouble. KI3HINEFF CONVICTIONS Highest Penalty for Jewish Massacre Was Seven Years. Kishineff, Bessarabia.

One person was sentenced to six ■ months' imprisonment and twelve | were acquitted, while forty-eight civil i actions brought against the accused I were dismissed. The costs of the pros- | ecutions must be paid by the convicted ! persons. Mr. Bryan and the Czar. St. Petersburg. Dec. 22.—William J. ! Bryan was received in audience by ! Czar Nicholas at noon Monday. The audience lasted for fifteen minutes. During the conversation with Mr. Bryan, his majesty expressed in the moat emphatic manner the feeling of friendship entertained by him and by ihe Russian nation for the I’nited States and the hope that the good relations which have always existed between the two countries would never be disturbed. He gave evidence of the deepest interest and acquaintance with affairs in the I’nited States. Russia Is Hopeful. St. Petersburg, Dec. 22. —Officials of the for ’ign office do not share the pessimistic feeling regarding the situation in the far East which now seems to be general. They say there is no reason to despair of a peaceful settlement of tho difficulties over which Russia r.nd Japan are at variance. Doubly Fatal Duel. Ardmore, 1. T., Doc. 22.

THE LABOR AGITATOR. Some of the He lluNf l a Ofc> M€*MM to lh- SticcesMful. Strikes contribute but slightly to the equipment of Ihe successful labor agitator. The agitator must lie thoroughly acquainted witli the history of the labor movement and be capable of presenting its aims and aspirations in an attractive mid convincing niantu'i'. Hrmust possess the ability to think rapid ly and to express bis views mid opinions clearly and forcibly. But. withal, he must inspire those whom he would lend with absolute fnitli in his honesty. The agitator isn't always mi advocate of strikes. He has sometimes to exert his infill: nee to prevent a strike which 1 his judgment tells him would be r-.i---wise. It may sound like mixing terms to say so. but it is a truth that the most ditfii ult tasks performed by the labor agitators are their “agitations” in the interest of peace, their efforts to prevent strikes. The man who is always in favor of a strike us soon ns one is suggested or who is constantly on the search for a casus belli soon finds Iris influence as a leader gone. “The Story of a Labor Agitator,” by Joseph it.
