BUCKS AROUSE IRE1 i - Presence of Colored Strike- J Breakers is Resnted. COMPLICATES SITUATION Merits or Demerits of the Strike is Lost Sight of by Injection of the Race Issue?Host of Deputies Sworn In. A Chicago special says: The public temper on the negro question was extremely bad and promised to grow without any relation to the merits or demerits of the strike. A considerable portion of the members of the Employers' Teaming Association regret that the negro strike breakers were ever brought in. A great portion of those who have been used are said to have proven incapable. During the last two weeks more than one thousand negroes have been brought into the city to aid the Employers' Teaming Association. Some of these have brought their families with them sufficient to make the negro importations into the city amount to about 1,500. The number who have already quit the teaming association through fright over the situation is placed at 500, a number of whom are drifting about the streets. It was said that the employers had given notice to their agencies that no further importation of negroes need be made; that only white' men are needed to take the , place of the strikers. Aside from the ineffectiveness of many of the colored men, the spectacle of street processions of hundreds of imported negroes armed with heavy hickory sticks ana of negro caravan drivers from whose pockets butts of pistols could be seen ostentatiously protruding, seemed to have inflamed more than anything else the ordinarily peaceful side of the i city's population. This was shown more generally Thursday than any time previous by the daring with which respectable men and women howled at the imported colored men. Yells of "Go back home!" "Fight a white man with a white man," were heard frequently. Violence in the strike showed no signs of cessation. The very first outbreak resulted in a fatality. Chas. Riebling, a white man, received a fractured skull, and is expected to die. He was standing in r- crowd which started to Jeer a non-union colored teamster, who was guarded by live detectives. The negro suddenly picked up a stone and threw it into the crowd. Riebling was struck on the head and sank to the ground unconscious. . The crowd chased the negro into the stables of the teaming company, but were driven back by private detectives wielding "billies" and pieces of gas pipe. Police reinforced the detectives and pacified the crowd by demanding that the negro be surrendered. The police entered the stables, but were unable to find Riebling's assailant. Riebling, unconscious, was taken to the People's hospital. Sheriff Thomas E. Barrett of Cook l county has taken active control of the strike situation. So much pressure has been brought to bear upon him and Mayor Dunne by business men who believe their interests to be seriously imperiled by the con ?tant rioting in the streets that tne sheriff has been compelled to swear in a large force of deputies and take active steps to do away with the present disorder. Two hundred deputies were sworn in Thursday afternoon in the office of Sheriff Barrett, and it is expected that two thousand will be enrolled. The decision by Sheriff Barrett to swear in deputies for strike duty was against the wishes of Mayor Dunne, who declares that the police force of ' . the city are adequate to preserve peace.; BANKER GIVEN SEVEN YEARS. Cashier of Institution Wrecked by Mrs. Chadwick to Serve Time. At Cleveland, Ohio, Wednesday, A. B. Spear, cashier of the closed Citizens' Bank of Oberlin, in the United States district courC, entered a plea - ? ..... a* UI gUlliy uil wuc cuuui ui iuc muitiment charging him with making false entries in the bank's books. District Attorney Sullivan recommended that all other indictments against Spear containing fifteen ^unts be nolled. Judge Taylor at once sentenced Spear to seven years' imprisonment in the Ohio penitentiary. TYPHOON HITS ROJESTVENSKY. Lighter Ships of Russian Squadron Said to Be Greatly Damaged.

The federai grand jury in session at Jackson, Miss., Thursday returned indictments against 300 citizens t? Franklin county on the charge of whitecapping, the specific charge being intimidation of a government homesteader. , Some of the parties indicted are very prominent citizens, including Dr. A. M. Newman, sheriff of the county. Dr. Newman was immediately arrested in the federal building in Jackson, but gave bond. Other arrests will follow. It is learned that among the indictments returned is one against D. P. Butler, member of the legislature from Franklin county. This makes two I members of the legislature who have I been indicted for whitecapping, the other being Floater, Representative Montgomery of Lincoln and Franklin, who was indicted by the Lincoln county grand jury some months ago. The grand jury indicted every member of the Law and Order League of" Franklin county, of which Dr. A. M. Newman was chairman. Deputy marshals left the city on the afternoon trains to arrest the parties indicted, and many of them will be taken before Judge Niles and give bond to apappear when their cases are called. The indictments have created a lively sensation, and it is said that other indictments are to follow, as the jury is still engaged in digging into the whitecapping in Franklin county, and it is expected that as many more will be returned before the jury is through with its examination. All these indictments have been returned on evidence furnished the grand jury by Detective Hoyt, employed by Governor Vardaman to work up evidence against the whitecappers for the state court, which meets at Meadsville Mbnday. Many of the men who were indicted Thursday by the federal grand jury will more than likely be indicted by the county grand jury of Franklin. In each instance the infiictments were for interfering with United States homesteaders. GEN. FITZHUGH uEE BURIED. Remains of Distinguished Virginian Laid to Rest in Richmond. Not in all its eventful history has Richmond, Vawitnessed a more imposing demonstration that that which marked the funeral of General Fitzhugh Lee Thursday. The military contingent which took part in the procession consisted of two full regiments of infantry, the seventieth and seventy-first, the Richmond Light infantry, Blues, a battalion of artillery and seven detached infantry companies, making in all about 2,000 men. Added to this were the veteran organizations, and nearly every carriage in the city had been engaged for the occasion. The church was densely crowded, the throng representing all classes and all walks of life. The floral tributes banked about the casket were profuse and came from all over the country. The streets along the line of march were packed with people, and at the cemetery many thousands awaited the coming of the procession. There has not been such a popular outpouring since the funeral of Jefferson Davis, some years ago. At the cemetery the committal service was read by Bishop Randolph, the body was lowered into the grave, three infantry yolleys were fired, tap? were sounded and a salute of seventeen guns was fired.

Springs Bespattered with Mud, President Calls at Once for Bathing Tub. . Riding as rapidly as the heavy roads would permit President Roosevelt and his hunting party arrived in Glenwood Springs, Col., at 2 o'clock j i Cotiirrinv afternoon. The horses and | riders were spattered with mud. At the head of the party the pres- j ident in his hunting clotnes of duck, j slouch hat and bandana cravat was j as picturesque as the guides who j have spent their lives in similar cos- j tume. j About two miles out of Glenwood I | Springs, the party ran the gauntlet ot | j a battery of cameras and moving picI ture machines. I The president was escorted to the | Hotel Colorado. No word of his com; ing had reached the villagers and he j j went directly to his apartment to ! j clean up and rest. He Ijad his first | I bath in a tub since leaving his com- j ! fortnble train at New Castle over two ! j weeks ago. The hotel was decorated j | in honor of his coming. > Sunday night the president enterI tained at dinner his companions on his three weeks hunt in the Rocky mountains. After the dinner he bade them an affectionate farewell and j promised that all would live forever ! in his fondest memory. At the dinner j were P. H. Stewart of Colorado ; I Springs, Dr. Aleanxder Lambert, Guides Jake Borah, John Goff, Brick ; Wells, Jack Fry, G. M. Sprague, Cou ! rier Elmer Chapman and secretary j Loeb. j In describing the function, Chapman said: "We sat just as we did in camp. | Mr. Loeb was the onl? due at- the j party. Ycu reporter fellows ought to I have been there. You could have got j all kinds of pieces for your papers." j Other members of the hunt said the party talked over the events of j | the three weeks and had a good time I : generally. Needless to say, it was a j dinner none will forget. The presi! dent was at his best. He was entirej ly rested and had just come in from i two or three hours drive through the | woods where he went with Mr. StewI art to study Colorado birds. Mr. j Stewart is a naturalist who knows j every bird in the mountains and can I tell its habits and imitate its calls. The dinner was served in the private dining room of Hotel Colorado. | The guests were dressed much as j they were in the mountain camp ; | flannel shirts were tne rule .although - * a*- -1 the guides did aiscara uitsir uuapo| j and laid away their guns. The president and Mr. Loeb wore their frocks. Following his usual custom, the president spent a quiet Sunday. Three weeks ago the railroads planned to run excursions into Glenwood Springs Sunday, but the plan was discouraged by Secretary Loeb, who announced that no program would be permitted which called for an address by the president In spite of that fact large numbers of persons came in by every train, and rather than disappoint them, Mr. Roosevelt stepped out on the second floor of the balcony of the hotel, after the luncheon ,and spoke briefly. He said: 'T did not anticipate having the pleasure of meeting you today, and as it is Sunday, I am not going to try to make a speech to you. I shall merely say how greatly I am enjoying my visit in this beautiful state. I wish that in the last week up in the mountains there had been a little more weather like this. If there had been I think we would have gone about two bears better. But still as we got ten I do not think we have any right to complain. I am sure I ??<>/* Tin* +o?i vmi how mueh I have UWU MW W* # enjoyed my holiday her?." i MISS WOOD AFTER LOEB. Woman Resolved to Have Summons Served on President's Secretary.

JURY AGAIN DISAGREES. ! j ??? i Rank and Unsavory Nan Patterson j Murder Trial at New York Falls Through Once More. ! Having failed to reach a verdict, and j declaring that they were hopelessly j disagreed, the jury in the Nan Patterson case at New York was formally discharged . at 2:20 o'clock Thursday morning. The jury was given the case at 1 ! o'clock Wednesday, and after deliber- j ating twelve hours, came into court j at 1:30 o'clock Thursday morning and j informed Recorder Goff that they had | failed to -reach a verdict. The jury j declined the recorder's offer to aid | ? ? 1? onv nninf r\f law 1 ill em uy auutc uu ?u; . regarding which they might be in ' doubt, and were sent back to con- j tinue their deliberations. At 2:20 1 o'clock a. m. the jury again entered | the court room, where the recorder | and other court officials were in wait- ' ing, and the foreman announced that j they had failed to agree on a verdict, j He added that their disagreement j seemed hopeless of adjustment. Upon j this announcement Recorder Goff for- J mally discharged the twelve men com- j posing the third jury that has consid- ! ered this celebrated case. It is understood that a majority of the jury were for acquittal, but in what pro- i portion they stood cannot be ascer- j tained.^ Nan Patterson collapsed on rhe : jury's announcement and fainted dead | j away. She was assisted from the | court by one of her counsel and sev- ! eral court attendants and revived in ' an anteroom. On the second return j of the jury, Recorder Goff made a per- ; sonal appeal to the foreman to en- i deavcr again to reach a verdict. The j foreman entered tne jury box and j polled the jurors in open court, but I they were not able to agree. The re- j corder then asked them again if there j was not some point in law or some- j thing he could do by which they might be able to reach a verdict, but the jurors remained steadfast and finally declared their verdict a disagreement. Recorder Goff before dismissing the jury, cautioned them not to tell how they stood. Future procedure in the case is uncertain. It has been intimated by the district attorney's office that the people would not attempt another trial. Should this be the case Miss Patterson would be released either on nominal bail or under her own recognition and the indictment be eventually quashed. BIGELOW'S PAL CAPTURED. Henry Goll Found in Chicago After Long Search by Detectives. Henry G. Goll, absconding cashier of the National Bank of Milwaukee, was arrested at the Lakota hotel, Chicago, Wednesday afternoon. He had been at the hotel four days and was registered under the name of A. C. Smith. Goll was arrested by Detective Sullivan of Milwaukee, assisted by a Pinkerton detective. The detectives had tracked Goll from Milwaukee to several towns in Illinois, then into Indiana and finally to Chicago.

Court of Claims Upholds Contention of Spanish-American War Veterans. Through a decision of the United States court of claims at Washington Thursday, the Georgia veterans of the Spanish-American war will receive in round numbers $50,000.

CITY OFFICIALS DEMUR Deputation Goes to Springfield to Appeal to Governor Deneen?Strikers Awed by Winchesters and Shot Guns. Rioting in the streets of Chicago Wednesday was so prolonged and of j so fierce a character that many of the leading business men have con- | eluded that there will be neither i peace in the city nor safety for its : I business interests until the state mii litia has been called out to restore j ? order. i . Consequently a committee of mem- J bers of the Employers' Association left j for Springfield to confer with Governor Deneen and to request him to j give orders to the state troops. The j labor unions have representatives at | the state capitol, and it is likely that they will also be heard before any ApHnn ?s taken bv the governor. Chief j of Police O'Neill says he is confident that he has the control of the siNa- j tion and can keep peace in the city, j Mayor Dunne supports him in this view and has declared that in his opinion the emergency has not arisen J requiring the presence of troops. On the other hand the business men point to the long list of injured, j which marked the rioting of Tuesday j and the greater number of those whd were hurt Wednesday and declare that ! this alone is sufficient proof that the j police unaided are not sufficiently strong to cope with the situation. No complaint is made against the { polite department, for the officers | have dispersed every mob with which j they have come in contact and have guarded wagons night and day with ; the greatest vigilance. But despite their utmost efforts the fighting con- j tinues in the streets and is, if possi- ; ble, more vicious on each succeeding day. While the police have been able to j disperse mobs and guard wagons, they have not been able to prevent the ; many attacks that are made on non- j union men in the business portion of ; the city alone. The situation, the j business men claim, will be ten-fold t worse when express wagons and retail delivery wagons are sent to remote parts of the city. Despite the orders of Mayor Dunne and the prohibition of the city cbun- J cil, many of the wagons of the con cerns against which serines nave Deen i declared were handled Wednesday by j men armed with rifles and shotguns. j One hundred and fifty wagons of ; the seven express companies went to and fro across the city, in many in- , stances unaccompanied by blue coats, and at no time under the supervision of more than one or two policemen, j EJvery wagon carried a guard, some of whom were armed with Winchester I rifles, and others carried heavy double barreled shotguns. The guns were in ! plain evidence throughout the day, and no attempt was made to interfere I with any of the express wagons. I COURT INAUGURATES PROBING. Officials of Equitable to Explain How !
