20,000 FAMILIES MOVING TODAY

'Twenty thousand families, about one-fifth the usual number, are moving today, according to Ivan O. Ackey, secretary of the Chicago Renting Agents’ Association. “I believe it is because there are very few buildings available and people would rather stay in their present apartments than move into others equally as old,” he said. “The increased cost of moving deters many. Apartments are scarcer than they have been since the World’s i’’air.” The moving companies say they are doing rushing business; much of. it storage for people who have to give up fiats and cannot find others.

RENSSELAER SHOULD HAVE A “CLEAN UP” DAY

Now that Spring it with us it seems that the city should set aside a day to be known as “clean up” day in which all should take part in helping to dean up the various nooks and corners in which refuse has collected in abundance during xhe winter months. It has been the custom of the city in previous years to have such a day, and good results have always been obtained. In the past the school children and Boy Scouts have aided in the movement and have done good work. Each property owner should take a personal pride in helping l to keep his premises clean and healthful. .

INSTALLATION SERVICE

Model Of Poster For Loan To Travel

The model of the poster, “Sure We’ll finish the job,” has decided to answer the appeals of cities to assist personally in the sale of Victory notes. He is Tony Avolar, and lives in Provincetown, Mass., with his wife and four children. Immediately after the first distribution of the picture the Liberty Loan committee was besieged with pleas to put Avolar on the platform. Avolar is now in Boston ready to make his first appearance to boost loan drives. The itinerary arranged will keep him busy until the end of the drive.

WHO IS TO BLAME?

The Blue Jacket hand came to Rensselaer Thursday morning as scheduled. A large crowd was on hand to greet them on their arrival in the city, many coming from distant points to attend the concert. Then what happens? A selection or two is rendered on the public square. The musicians start down Washington street, suddenly turn off on a side street and disappear from view, while the crowd stands fast and wonders what is to happen next. Some of them are still wondering. That is as much of the entertainment as the bulk of them enjoyed. Following their departure from the public square, the musicians were taken to the Christian church where a short program was held in the in-, terest of the Victory Loan. The band did its part and everything was run off per schedule, but the trouble was that the rank and file were not let in on the plans. The church was for the most part filled with school children. We are not protesting against the school children attending such meetings, but very few school children buy bonds, and the object of the visit* of the band was to stimulate bßnd buying in the county, which has yet to go over the top in the drive. The result was that the meeting failed to reach those for whom it was intended. . . There was much criticism on the part of many on the course taken, and it would seem that if our city is to continue to bear her good reputation as a host that some competent person must be placed at the head of such affairs who would let the people in on the know. Such mismanagement is disgusting.

PRAISES REYNOLDS- DONEGAN SKATING ACT

In writing to the Republican from Oakmont, Pa., under date of April 30, Mrs. A. W. McAuley has the following to say of Rensselaer’s most illustrious stage folk: “Am enclosing a theatre program which has one act which may interest Rensselaer folk. We had the honorof seeing Mr. and Mrs. Earl Reynolds and family in their skating performance Saturday evening, in Pittssburg.; Their act is wonderful and they bring the crowds. Every seat in the house was occupied and at least seventy-five more stood up during the entire performance, which lasted two hours and a half. The Reynolds feature closed the bill as is the rule with headliners. We enjoy every copy of the Republican. I have one which I just received and must read the home news.” —-Mrs. A. W, McAuley. Mrs. Ida Benjamin spent the day in Lafayette.

TANKS AID IN FIGHT AGAINST RED RIOTERS

Cleveland, 0., May I.—An unidentified man was killed by a detective’s bullet, eleven policemen were shot or badly beaten and about 100 persons wounded, many seriously, in general rioting whic|f brought a dramatic finale this afternoon to a Socialist May Day demonstration here. About thirty persons, seriously injured, are in hospitals tonight, while scores of others, including women, were trampled by rioters and clubbed by police. Socialists and sympathizers in E. Ninth st and at Public Square were ridden down by mounted policemen and by soldiers in army tanks and trucks. Socialist headquarters was totally wrecked by angry civilians bent on putting an end to the demonstration. The rioting was general in Public Square, E. Ninth st, Huron road, Prospect av., Superior av., Boliver av. and other thoroughfares. The one fatality occurred at Central and Woodland avs., wtien a mob said to have been composed of Socialists and sympathizers rushed Detective Woodring and other officers. Woodring, saying he drew his revolver to save his own life, fired into the alleged leader of the mob, the bullet passing through the man’s neck, killing fem instantly. First reports said the dead man was an on- 7 looker. Sixty of the rioters were arrested. A score were found to have weapons on them, police say. A mob of several hundred of the rioters threatened police headquarters when C. E. Ruthenberg, Socialist leader and former Socialist candidate for mayor, was arrested, and for more than an hour the entire downtown section of the city was a seething mass of Socialists, police, civilians and soldiers, the latter riding down the rioters in army trucks and tanks. Dozens of shots were fired in public Square, where more than 20,000 Socialists- and sympathizers assembled for a May Day rally and to protest against the conviction of Eugene V. Debs and Thomas J. Mooney.
