J&IOTS IN CHICAGO.
CITY'S STREETS ARE SCENES OF WILD DISORDER. Mobs Spread Terror and Strike Breakers March Through Hail of Bullets and Missies Merchants Demand Protection of Law, Including Soldiers The most violent disturbances that have been known In Chicago since tho American Railway Union strike of 1 1804 have marked the bitter progress of the teamsters' 1 conflict From dawn until :ong after sund o w n Wednesday A there occurred a continuous series of riots, and all manner of brutal2 ity. The union plckcuarles dold. ets, strikers and sympathizers assailed the hosts of negroes and other non-union men who have been brought into the service of the employers. And the negroes, armed and desperate, responded in kind. The net result is the third death directly traceable to the strike, and a list of injured that may furnish other fatalities. The police estimate that if the wounded were all known they would number a hundred. Chicago papers print a list of more than sixty, among whom are a Presbyterian minister and a Catholic priest Frank Curry, the nonunion generalissimo, himself was badly injured. His head was cracked by bricks thrown at him In the disturbances, and he was reported In a c. r. siiea. critical condition at the hospital, surgeons almost despairing of bis recovery. The business men Wednesday afternoon decided upon an appeal to Governor Charles S. Deneen to order out the troops, and the Mayor prepared a request to Sheriff Barrett to swear in probably 2,000 addtional deputy sheriffs to supplement the efforts of the 1 -yZ, FURIOUS FIOnT BETWEEN police. The climax of te rioting which forced the employers to act was a murderous attack with revolvers made in an attempt to murder United States Express Company guards. It empha sized Wednesday the degree of venom that has developed In Chicago's great teamsters' strike. From hours before dawn all through the day there was terrific rioting, in which more than a score of men were injured, some of them perhaps fatally. In downtown streets, and both south and west there were furious battles Gov. Deneen refused to send militia nnti! the demand for them should reach him through the proper legal channels. After a three-hour, conference in Springfield Thursday evening with a committee of twelve leading merchants of Chicago, the Governor maintained his position that he could act only in certain contingencies, which had not yet arisen. Those "contingencies" were believed to be a call from Sheriff -Barrett for State troops to aid him and his deputies in quelling riot and disorder. Mayor Dunne strenuously opposed this plan, saying the police were sufficient as well as efficient The passing of the twenty-soventh day of the strike developed, aside from the announcement of the Governor's attitude toward the troops question, a strained situation, with the city hall and the police force on one side and Sheriff Barrett and the Employers' Association on the other. , Early in the day, answering the call of business men, the sheriff began to swear in special deputies and place them in service. This action aroused instant hostility in Mayor Dcune's and Chief O'Neill's camp. "There will be no more crowds following the caravans down the street" said Chief O'Neill. "For the first few days there were some persons who unwisely followed the wagons out of curiosity or said they did. Innocently or not they formed thj nucleus of a mob arid trouble resulted nearly every time. I have ordered my commanding oQcers to cause the arrest indiscriminately of any persons who seem to be fol lowing the wagons. It may work some injustice, but that will stop when people learn that a caravan under po ! lice ctiard is a good thing to dodge."

It was the first day of actual terror since the teamsters' strike be gan, and it spread so rapidly and wich such spontaneity that before noon the police had been overwhelmed in their efforts to prevent the hundreds of in dependent drivers imported Into the city from being beaten or to prevent the independent workers, frightened out of their wits by mob attacks, from drawing revolvers and magazine pis tols and shooting at their tormeuters. The most furious clashes came at narrlson street and Wabash avenue, Congress street and Wabash avenue, West Jackson boulevard and Ilalsted street and Market and Madison streets. In each of these encounters many shots were fired and three or four men vrere shot so severely that the recovA1W S SNOTA 1 - n t 1 A 1 I..-. :K1 The kingpin of it all, from the em ployers' side, was Frank Curry, whoso reputation as a strike breaker is na V 7 TV UNION AND NON-UNION MEN. tional. Curry had come boasting what he intended to do, and he found a big task cut out for him. He seemed to be everywhere at once directing the hundreds of Independent men he had brought into the city or found ready to help him when he arrived. Not since the great railroad strike of 1S94 have the police had such furious struggles to preserve order and the police could not prevent clashes between the union and independent toilers because of the widely scattered points at which the belligerents met There was not a conflict in which one or more beads were not broken or bruised, and in nearly every instance there was more or Ips shnntSTRIKE BREAKER. ,ng Qr q firearms. Mayor Dunne ordered Chief O'Neill to draw 000 special policemen from the civil service commission list The employers Tuesday assumed a more decidedly hostile front and began taking aggressive action. Four hundred and fifty strike-breakers were sworn in as. special policemen to guard the wagons of the Employers' Teaming Company. These men, with all the power conferred by law on special policemen, and heavily armed, accompany other strike breakera and use force to protect them as well as to protect the wagons of other concerns than the Employers' Teaming Company. Friday the police force took more stringent measures than ever in. relation to the curbing of disturbance In the streets. Chief of Police O'Neill sent out a general order to all com manding officers instructing them to cause the arrest of any one who followed wagons driven by non-union teamsters, whether they were strike sympathizers, hired roughs or curiosity seekers. The present prices of meat denote an intention "on the part of the beef trust to cease the iolicy of operating at a loss.

lAHCIAL Dealings in leading retail lines suffered from the extension of the Cbicaga teamsters' strike, but the aggregate volume of trade has maintained Increasing proportions. The general movement of commodities gained further momentum, and in both production and new demands the developments impart strength to business, Railroad freight is more largely made up of staple merchandise, fac tory products and raw material, and further activity is seen in lake trafiic, mine and forest output furnishing large tonnage. Spring work on the farms is responsible for lessened mar keting of grain, yet the receipts ex ceeded those of the corresponding week last year by fully SG per cent and the shipments from this port al most doubled. Supplies of primary foodstuffs have been ample for requirments, and with the winding up of recent disastrous speculation in wheat market operations are now controlled by normal conditions. The severe decline stimulated fresh vigor in flour transactions for both domestic and foreign con sumption. Agricultural advices affirm bene ficial effect of the late rainfall upon growing crops. Spring seeding covers a greater acreage than last year, and reports from the ranges are good as to pasturage and stock. Local financial affairs present a healthy aspect Funds continue in ready supply for legitimate enterprises, and while most of the commer cial banks are well loaned up, there is considerable investment of money in choice bonds and realty Improve ments, the discount rate being favorable. Grain receipts were 3,230,253 bush els, against 3,320,721 bushels last week and 2,359,033 bushels a year ago. The shipments aggregated 3,203,014 bush els, against 1,047,418 bushels. Re ceipts of live stock were 317.1S7 head, compared with 320,477 head last week and 2S5,2G1 head a year ago, and the demand was insufficient to maintain prices. Compared with the clos ings a week ago, declines are seen in wheat 22 cents a bushel, corn 1 cents, oats 1 cent, pork 43 cents, choice beeves 5 cents, hogs 10 cents and sheep 33 cents. Dun's Commercial Review. Irregularity still char Kev York acterizes distributive trade, while industry is active and outdoor construction is of unprecedented volume. The weather has been rather too cool for the best of crop preparation or germination. Labor is well employed, and with the one conspicuous exception of Chi cago, where the teamsters' strike af fects trade and shipments, disputes are below the average for May 1. Trices of many staples have been weak and unsettled, and cereals, cot ton, some kinds of pig iron, copper, and country produce have moved lower. Railway earnings are good and bank clearings this week, owing to holidays, are smaller than last week, but heavily exceed a year ago. Collections generally are rather tardy, especially at the South. Crop conditions, though the season is back ward, promise well as regards the cereals.

CHICAGO'S SUBWAYS.
The Busy Underground World of the Weetern Metropolis. The stranger visiting Chicago has no idea of the immense amount of trafiic that is being carried oa beneath his feet. As a matter of fact that enterprising western metropolis has developed a vast underground system so quietly that many of her own residents are unaware of its great extent. This compares quite favorably with Ncv York's method of subway construction, where the people literally "tumbled" to the work by falling down the gaping chasms in the streets being operated upon or else were made aware of it by dynamite-hurled messages from the rending rocks. Without noise, dirt, smoke or the slightest delay to traffic, the central business district .of Chicago has been honeycombed with these tunnels. Twenty-eight miles already have been constructed, and extensions are projected. To the visitor, Chicago's principal streets might seem as much congested with traffic as ever and yet, far below their surface, scores of electric locomotives are pulling freight trains that are taking thousand of tons of coal into the boiler rooms of skyscrapers, without dirt, noise or sign of effort in the street. They are removing tons of ashes, and caring for the excavations- from the basements of buil lings in course of construction. More tnan this, they are haulinj daily many thousands ot tons of freight Vilich was formerly carried over the pavem-mts in wagons. Think of the relief this must afford! But that is not all. There is another way in which the tunnel system will be used to materially advance Chicago's interests. On Feb. 15, 1905, the company entered into a contract with the government under which all of Chicago's second, third and fourth-class mail matter will be transferred from the railway stations to the new postoffice through tha tunnels. A further plan to utilize the tunnel for mail purposes involves the building of chutes connecting the street corner mail boxes with boxes in the tunnel, where the mail can be collected by cars. When the new schemes are perfected and added to the present pneumatic tube service for first-class mail, Chicago will have the most perfect underground mail facilities in the world. Through the tunnels 800 tons of mail will be handled daily, in special locked United States cars. The system will be in operation by June 1. PATTERSON JURY DISAGREES. Show Girl Accused of Murder of Tonne to Go Free. The jury who have been trying Nan Patterson in New York for the murder of Caesar Young, the bookmaker, reported that they were unable to reach an agreement, and Recorder Goff discharged them from further consideration of the case. They had been seat back once to try again to reach a verdict Nan Patterson was remanded to the Tombs. This means she will soon go free, as the district attorney's office has anaouncXAN rATTEESOX. ed she will not be tried again in case of a disagreement. One of the officers of the court said the jury stood three for acquittal and nine for manslaughter in the first degree. Nan was in court when the jury came for the second time, but was in a dead faint the whole time. A physician was sent for, but did not arrive, and Nan was carried back to her cell still unconscious. 'Caesar" Young was killed on June 4, 1904, while riding in a cab with Nan Patterson. She was arrested and has been tried three times on the charge of mur der. The first trial failed because of the illness of a juror. In the second trial the jury disagreed. The theory of the pros ecution was that the girl killed Young because he was about to sail to Europe to get rid of her. She declares he shot himself because he had to leave her. Russia has nerve. She can talk bigger after a licking than any nation on earth.
