?0,000 MEN QUIT THEIR WORK.
Bloodshed Murks Strike-IuilM>r and
Capital in Carappie at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 15.-Twelve
persons were Injured when members
of the Pennsylvania State constabu
lary and steel strikers clashed a num
ber of times to-day at the plant of
the Pressed Steel Car Company, Me
Kees Rocks. At leiust three of tho
injured are in a serious condition.
Over a score of strikers and their
sympathizers have boen placed under
.irrest.
Twenty additional state police
were sent for, malvin.-, a force of 61.
Over 200 deputies and special officers
are on duty.
following the riot inn and blood
shed lad night and early this morn
ing, die strikers congregated al the
gates of Hie mill and at intervals
would bombard the works with
bricks. The police only shot over
' he heads of i he si rlkers.
The Slate police and several thou
sand strikers again clashed at the
Tressed Steel Car Works at noon to
day. One trooper was seriously in
jured, and several other persons
hurt. The Btrlkors threw bric ks al
the police and Med when tho con
(abulary tired a volley close to their
Meads. rho mounted troopers then
galloped Into the crowd, arresting six
of the strike leaders.
25,000 Workmen on Strike.

nen coal miners, tin and sheet
plate workers and various steel
crafts-- are out oil strike through
out Western Ponsylvir.ila. Eastern
ohio and West Virginia.
A majority of thu Idle men are in
ibo Pittsburg distric t, hlxcoptiug tho
..?like of the Pressed SU?ol Car Com
pany, at McKees Hocks, ti borough
where deice rioting marked last
nigh! and early to-day. resulting in
the shooting and beating of thirty
persons, the strikers are orderly.
The situation between capital and
labor in Hie Pittsburg district lo-dav
s unique, trailing as it does, on Mu
heel of an apparent wave of prosper
ity.
Resumptions have been ordered In
nil trades, and men, who have eon
without work for many month. . are
being afforded employment. On the
other hand ls the present unrest of
the workmen. Solutions of the
causes leading up lo the strike are
varied.
In several instances the men claim
that their employers, taking advant
age of their recent prolonged Idle
ness, are offering them now low
wages for their work. The officials
.assert that conditions do not warrant
higher remuneration at this time.
Other Grievances.
Other grievances are tho alleged
violation of the eight-hour work day,
recognition of organized labor, a con
troversy over the use of so-called
"safety" powder for coal mine blast
ing, and better working conditions
generally. The strike of the United
Mine Workern against the Pittsburg
Coal Company doe? not have the
support of the national officials of
.the United Mine Workers of America.
lt ls said that the tin plate work
ers' strike will affect plants in dlffer
?ent portions of thc country, adding
from fl.OOO to 10,000 to the ranks of
the strikers.
At the Pressed Steel Company a
detachment of Pennsylvania State
police and sheriff's deputies, heavily
armed, are on guard. All the tin
plate plants are protected by special
police. The coal strike ls but a few
hours old, but precautions are al
ready being taken In connection with
ibis trouble.

YORK JURY DISCHARGED
Failure to Convict Where Charge
HUH Not I ?in in! Cause Of lt?'lea sc.
Yorkvllle, July ?4.-Judge Mern
minger this morning duinfounded a
panel of petit jurors hy dismissing
them on the ground that they were
unlit for service in ids court. Tile
case was one in which the usual
count of carrying concealed weapons
was tacked on to au Indictment for
assault and battery with Intent to
kl". Tho testimony showed quito a
sorious tight lu which two Russells
shot two Robinsons, the bullets be
ing Hied from the rear. There was
a good deal of conflict in the testi
mony as to the merits of the fight,
hut no dispute as to the fact that
both of Hie Russells had pistols. The
jury acquitted the Russells on all
counts.
That was last night. When court
convened this morning Judge Mem
111 Inger had the clerk to call the panel
and said to lt In effect that If a jury
saw proper to accept a plea of self
defense from a n in who had shot an
other in the back lt was not within
lils province to set the verdict aside,
but where men were unable or un
willing to be guided by the plain law
and evidence in a case of carrying
concealed weapons in the face of the
fact that there had been no attempt
to deny the charge he was unwilling
to go on trying cases with such ju
rors. Ile therefore Instructed the
diembers of the panel to apply to the
clerk for their pay and consider
themselves discharged from further
attendance. Then turning to the
dork his honor instructed the draw
ing of additional jurors to Hil out the
venire.

BLIND SENATOR AN AFIR INA I T.
?or?! Enthusiastic Over Wrights.
Wife Explains Every Movement.
Washington, July IT.-Through
going out to Fort Myer repeatedly to
"see" the Wright brothers fly in their
aeroplane. Senator (?ore. of Oklaho
ma, ls fast becoming one of the most
enthusiastic aeronauts in Washing
ton, yet tho Senator is stone blind.
Senator Oore'i: substitute for the eye
he lost by a series of accidents dur
ing lils youth is Iiis .vile and a kemi
sense ol hearing, to both of which
bis mind is peculiarly attuned.
From them he obtains the same thrill
of excitement thal others experience
through first-hand perception. ll?' is
well-satisfied with second-hand.
The presence of Senator and Mrs.
<!<>;,> on the Fort Myer drill ground
is regarded as an excellent example
of the way In which her eyes and bis
mind work together. Few men in
Washington are affected by the "at
mosphere" of an event as the Sena
tor. That helps him to comprehend
the quiet words of lils wife, as she
explains every movement of the avia
tors, of the success or failure of the
machine in starting, in maintaining
itself In the air, and in descending.
When all ls concluded. Senator Gore
is just as anxious to applaud as any
other "spectator."
The Oklahoma Senator also is
very fond of "watching" a base ball
game, and he Is a frequent patron of
the American League games here.
Senator Gore's wife knows more
about base ball than many wives'
husbands.

Ulea.se to Run for Governor.
-.
Newberry dispatch: While In Lau
rens several days ago Cole L. Blease,
of this city, was quoted by the Lau
rensvllle Herald, In an Interview, as
stating that he would be a candidate
for Governor In the campaign next
summer, with practically the same
platform he had last summer. Quer
ied further on his views as to Clem
son and compulsory education, says
the Laurens paper, he said: "Let
Clemson alone, and no compulsory
educat ion."
There will be Others.
The Columbia correspondent of
the News and Courier, speaking of
the prospective candidates for Gov
ernor, says:
Mr. Blease ls going to run. The
By mp toms are that Richard I. Man
ning, of Sumter, will be In the race.
The probabilities are that Attorney
General J. Fraser Lyon will be a can.
dldate. The friends of Lieutenant
Governor Thoa. G. McLeod, of Bish
opvllle, are urging him to run.
These four are more or less certain
candidates. If the prohibitionists
have a candidate lt may be C. C.
Featherstone, of Laurens, or lt may
be M. L. Smith, of Camden. Then
there ls talk of Capt. John G. Rich
ards running for the place as a far
mer, and some business men think
they would like to see Mayor R. G.
Rhett, or Charleston, enter polities
through the Governor's office.
And then thero is always the like
lihood of one or two unannounced
and unexpected candidates.
TkTO really ought to be a candi
date on the platform of ft Just and
fair tax revision. He may not win
tho first shot out of the box, but that
ls as certain to be a winning Issue
as any that has ever won In this
State.
ALABAMA SENATOR KILLED.
Tragedy wan Doe to Effort to Get
Pardon for Man-Klller.
Montgomery, Ala.. July 15.-State
Senator Oscar O. Bayles was last af
ternoon shot and killed hy David K.
Smith, at Monroevlll?, their home, as
a result of Bayles's efforts to secure
a pardon for Isaac and Jesse Shirley,
who are serving terms for the killing
of Jim Smith, a brother of the man
who did the shooting yesterday. Bay
les made sensational remarks to
Smith while the hearing before tho
pardon board was on, and he plainly
showed his irritation at tho time.
A phono message from Monroeville
says that Smith and Bayles returned
to their homes yesterday, Smith at
noon and Bayles about 5 o'clock.
Shortly after they met on the steps
of the drug store, and after a few
words, which could not be heard.
Bayles slapped Smith down, at the
same tim,? drawing his pistol. Smith
came up witli his pistol out, and both
began shooting. After three shot?.
Bayles ran Into a doctor's olllce, and
Smith into a drug store nearby. An
open door gave each a sight of the
other, a.id each took a fourth shot
through the aperture.
Bayles than fell to the floor with
two bullet holes in his bowels, and
died within a short time. Smith,who
was not hit. was sent to Jail, where
extra guard was kept over him all
night. However, the people seem to
take it that Smith was justified.
Smith ls a brother of James Smith,
for the killing of whom Jesse and
Isaac Shirley are serving terms in
tin? penitentiary. The Shirleys were
convicted on Hie testimony of their
sister, wife of the man they killed.
Recent efforts to secure pardon for
the Shirleys have been blocked by
Smith and his sister-in-law, and bo
ause of sensational questioning by
Bayles, who was attorney for the
Shirleys, Smith grew erv angry, and
Mrs. Smith was pul > great embar
assment. This accoeats for the ?11
eeltng.
