BLOODY RIOTING
BY IRISH STRIKERS
HOSPITALS SO CROWDED, MANY
OF INJURED SENT TO THEIR
HOMES.
400 PERSONS ARE HURT
In Many Sections of the City Pitched
Battles Occurred?Thirty Constables
Injured.
Dublin. Ireland.?Fierce rioting in
connection with the tramway strike
was renewed. Hundreds of persons
were injured. All the hospitals are
so crowded tlrat many serious cases
had to be sent to their homes for
treatment.
The strike committee, in the interest
of peace, had rescinded the call
for a mass meeting in O'Connell street,
and had substituted a parade from
Beresford place to Croydon park, at
Fairvlew, a suburb on the north side
of the city. The authorities meanwhile
had prohibited the mass meeting.
Croydon park belongs to the Transport
Workers' union, and a meeting
was held there without disorder. But
on the return march attempts of the
police by baton charges to disperse
the constantly growing crowds lejl
to rioting.
The mob was further incensed by
the arrest of one of the strike leaders,
James Larkin, against whom a warrant
had been out for 24 hours. Larkin
was on the balcony of a hotel in
Sackville street. He was wearing a
disguise for the purpose of eluding
arrest, but an enthusiastic admirer
raised the cry, "Three cheers for Larkin!"
The police immediately pounced
upoi^ him and violent scenes ensued.
The rioting became general in various
parts of the city. The police
charged repeatedly with their sticks,
and this led to pitched battles. Stones,
brickbats and bottles were hurled by
the Infuriated rioters, and the streets
were soon covered with prostrate
forms. More than fifty arrests were
made.
The lord mayor announced his Intention
of demanding a public inquiry
into the conduct of the police during
the strike riots, and will send law officers
of the corporation to attend the
inquests over the two men who have
died from their injuries.
PACAFIC WATERS IN CANAL
Last Remainig Barrier Blown Out by
Charge of Dynamite.
Panama.?The last remaining barrier
at the Pacific end of the Panama
canal was blown out by dynamite. It
was an intensely interesting spectacle.
At exactly 9:30 o'clock an electric
switch was turned on and the
1,500 spectators, including the Shriners
visiting here from the United
States and officers of the British cruiser
New Zealand, were rewarded by
a wonderful sight. Hundreds of tons
of mud and stone were thrown high
in the air and the thunderous roar
of the explosions re echoed in the
nearby hills.
About twenty long tons, equivalent
to 44,800 pounds, ol 45 per cent, dynamite
constituted the blast, whlcb was
one of the largest ever set off in the
canal.
The charge, which was planted In
541 holes at an average depth of 36
feet, tore a big gap in the barrier, but
not to a sufficient depth to permit
water to flow through, as the sea level
channel was at low tide.
Equally interesting as the explosion
was the actual breaking of the barrier
at the time, the tide creeping steadily
ud until it was level with the ton
of the gap. A workman seized u
shovel and made a small trench
through which a rill of water trickled.
Gradually it widened, until an hour
later a raging torrent, with a 35-foot
fall, poured through an opening 400
feet wide into that part of the canal
between Gamhoa Dike and the
Miraflores locks, which previously had
been excavated by steam shovels.
This cut, which is 5,000 feet long,
500 feet wide, and 41 feet deep below
mean sea level, was entirely filled by
the time the waters of the Pacific
laved for the first time the solid masonry
of the Miraflores locks. v
Put Five Bullets in Chief of Police.
Lena, S.C.?J. B. Harter, chief of
police at Allendale, S. C., was shot to
death at Lena. A. L. Walker is confined
in the llnnipton county jail,
charged with the killing. While the
tragedy occurred on the platform of
the railway station, there Were no
witnesses, an^ as Walker refused to
make a statement, nothing is known
as to how or why Harter was killed.
An inquest will be held at which tune
an effort will ho made to solve the
mystery. The dead- man was well
known in this section.
Huerta Displays Strength.
Mexico City.?A wave of patriotism
appears to be sweeping ovor Mexico,
and from many states and from all
classes, it is announced, assurances of
nllegiance and offers of service are
being received daily by President
Huerta #hd"<hls minister of war. The
plans are being made for a large display
of military strength on September,
Independence Hay. It is proposed
to hold a big parade in the capital,
in which 20,000 are expected to
march.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ON MEXICO
ENDORSED BY THE
LEADERS.
No Member of the Huerta Government
Will Make Statement About the"
Message of Mr. Wilson.
Washington.?Congressional leaders
declare that President Wilson's vigorous
assertion of a definite policy
toward Mexico would have the effect
of staying in congress for a time
at least, open criticism of the administration.
Those who discussed the
message agreed in the general statement
that it presented a frank and
full statement as to the recent negotiations
with the Huerta government,
and, at the same time, definitely outlined
the American policy for the
future.
Republicans Joined wtyh Democrats
in the endorsement of the president's
utterances.
"The president's message is an ndmirable
document," said Senator Hacon,
chairman of the senate foreign relations
committee, "it sets forth the
facts without resefvntion, and puts
us right before the world. Moreover,
I believe it will have a calming effect
on our own people, and a soothing
Influence upon public expression in
the United States. The magnificent
ovation Riven the president showed
that he has behind him both branches
of congress, without regard to party
division."
Mexico City.?Without comment
Frederico Garaboa, the minister of
foreign affairs, presented to the standing
committee of the Mexican congress
all the facts in the controversy
between Mexico and the United
States.
The congressmen comprising the
commtitee received the fucts without
comment other than that indulged in
as individuals after adjournment. Unless
there are new developments it is
improbable that discussion, even of a
private character, will continue long.

Plainfleld, N. H.?Miss Jessie Wilson,
daughter of President Wilson,

tomatoes was told by Miss Margaret
Brown, aged 15 years, to 1,500 farmers
and more than 3u0 housewives
here in nnnual convention. Miss

Washington.?To test the American
fur market the government will sell
seal nnd silver fox skins valued at
about $100,000 at St. Louis this fall.
The skins are this season's kill on the
Pribilif Islands and are now on the
way from San Francisco. They are
to be cured and prepared and then
sold at auction. Under the terms of
the Pelagis seal treaty the skins heretofore
wore sold at London, that being
the market designated. The government
now will seek to establish a
fur market in this country.

Medical Inspection of Public Educational
Institutions Recommended.
HufTalo, N. Y.?The fourth International
congress on school hygiene has
adopted resolutions recommending a
thorough medical inspection in all
public schools and the use of discarded
battleships as open air schools.
The congress states it is convinced
that the open air school Is one of
the most powerful agents in the prevention
and cure of tuberculosis, in
childhood. The resolution says:
"That the fourth international congress
on school hygiene petitions the
United States government to place
at the disposal of the various states
of the Union as many of the discarded
battleships and cruisers as possible
to be anchored according to their
size in rivers or at the seashore and
to be utilised by the respective communities
for open air schools for children
or hospital sanatoria for adults.
"That the congress expresses its appreciation
to the Italian government
for the example it has given by consecrating
three of its discarded men
of war to the combat of tuberculosis."
Methods of correetine defects nt wlo.
oin in school children and preventing
malnutrition were the principal subjects
discussed by the congress. At
the closing public meeting G. Stanley
Hall, president of Clark university,
Worcester, Mass., spoke on the hygiene
of appetite.

CLAIM GLYNN IS GOVERNOR
GLYNN IS RECOGNIZED BY THE
NEW YORK GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.
Action Came After Bitter Fight.
Vote 43 for Recognition to
29 Against.
Albany, N. Y.?Lieut. Gov. Martin
II. Glynn was formally recognized as
acting governor by the assembly after
a bitter debate. The vote of such
recognition stood 4S for to 29 against.
This recognition came in the form
of official acceptance of messages
sent by Mr. Glynn as acting governor
to the legislature. Messages also were
received by the senate, but with the
express understanding that objection
could be made later to their official
action as though no action had been
tuken.
The senate session was brief and
colorless, but the assembly remained
in session long after midnight. Its
proceedings were characterized by
sharp criticism and the bandying of
epithets between friends and opponents
of Governor Sulzer. Referring
to alleged attempts to punish him
through the medium of criminal indictments
for the part he had taken
in the impeachment proceedings, Majority
Leader Levy bitterly denounced
Lynn J. Arnold, one of Governor
Sulzer's trusted lieutenants, who has
been active in this matter.
NEW RULES FOR CARRIERS
Carriers Not Required to Collect
Coins.
Washington.?Picking up loose
money has grown to be such a hardship
for the overworked rural free
delivery carrier that the postoffice
department issued an order warning
reckless citizens against leaving loose
coins lying around. Hereafter coins
must be tied in bundles or inclosed
in envelopes whenever the patron of
a rural route wants stamps from a
carrier and leaves the necessary
amount in the wayside box.
"The attention of postmasters at rural
delivery offices and of rural carriers,"
says Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Hlakelee, "is again directed
to the fact that rural carriers are
not required to collect loose coins
from rural mail boxes.
"Patrons should inclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in paper
or deposit them in a coin holding re
ceptacle so they can be easily and
quickly taken from boxes and carriers
will be required to lift such
coins and when accompanied by mail
for dispatch, attach the requisite
stamps."

Roie to a Height of 3,000 Feet, Took
a Headlong Plunge But Retained
Perfect Control of His Machine.-?
Other Feats.
Juvisy, France.?The daring French,
aviator Pegoud, who on August 20
made a parachute drop from an aero1
plane from a height of 900 feet, acI
complished a much more remarkable
j feat, while at first sight appears to
have been a piece of extraordinary
aerial acrobatics, but which experts
declare was an epoch-making experiment
toward the attainment of safety
in the air. Briefly, Pegoud caused
his monoplane to describe a gigantic
I letter "S" in the sky during which
' he was flying upside down for about
a quarter of n mile.
The strictest secrecy was maintained
prior to the test and only a few
{ persons were present when Pegoud
took the air. He mounted rapidly to
a height of more than .1,000 feet, describing
a curve; then the forward
part of the machine was observed to
incline towards the earth. Through
glasses the spectators saw the propeller
and the monoplane further incline.
until it was perpendicular with
the earth. It seemed as if nothing
could stop the headlong plunge. As
the machine dropped swiftly the tail
: dipped again towards the earth and
; the pilot appeared head-downward.
; Seconds which seemed hours passed.
: With an almost imperceptible curve
; the machine shifted its course to a
straight line, the pilot in the same

not determine but it was long enough
to cause them to believe that he would

Presently the machine dipped again
and with a graceful curve assumed an
erect position. Pegoud flew for a
few minutes to and fro and descended
by a series of beautiful spirals. On
landing the aviator said:
"Everything went splendidly. The
levers answered the slightest touch

Washington.?Lack of berthing slips .
and drydocks is pointed out as the <
distinctly important weakness of our
; naval stations located north of Cape
| Hatteras, in a report to the Secretary
of the Navy by the Naval Board of
Inspectors of all Northern Navy Yards.
Additional drydocks on the North At'
lantic Coast, in the opinion of the
, board, are essential for the needs of
the Atlantic fleet and it suggests that
Jamacia Island at the Portsmouth

Americans Attacked By Mexicans.
Los Angeles.?American refugees
are in force here, having landed at
| San Diego. Sixty persons were

; Pittsburg. Among them was T. L.
i Flndley, who still is suffering from
the effects of a bayonet wound re
ceiven ai me Hands of an intoxicated
' rebel while lying sick in bed at his
home in Durango. Findley gave a
1 graphic description of the raid on the
j city of Durango by a band of 6,000
| rebels.
Mexican Situation Marking Time.
Washington.?Senator Bacon, chairman
of the foreign relations commitj
toe. conferred more thsn an hour
! with Secretary Bryan, after which he
declared the Mexican situation seemed
to be marking time. "So far as T
know." said the senator, "the Mexican
situation is absolutely at a standstill.

eeived from Mexico City and nothing ,
has come from Mr. Lind, who remains

Charlton Undergoes Interrogation.
Como. Italy.?Porter Charlton, the
young American who was extradited
from the United States to stand trial
on a charge of murdering his wife,

ining magistrate, and Signor Mellinl.
j Charlton's counsel, accompanied by a
clerk, and an interpreter appeared at
the prison soon after the breakfast

was self possessed. The prison
officials declare they have not ob;
served any sign of mental deficiency.
munc waptiai UUI or Dublin Riots.
London.? Roth the unionists and
liberal parties in England are trying
to niako political capital out of the
riots in Dublin. Latest reports say
that "20 civilians and 4i? policemen
were seriously hurt and required hospital
treatment. One of the civilians
has succumbed to tils injuries. It is
argued on both sides that Irish passions
have been stirred by the home
rule campaign and that this has been
responsible for the lawlessness in
Dublin and also for the recent disturbance
in Londonbcrry.
