May Call Out Militia. It looks very much as if the tramp of the National Guard will be heard in the streets within a day or two. The happenings of the past twenty-four hours, which included the dynamiting of street cars, scores of encounters between the police and the gangs of strikers and strike sympathizers, the invasion of the down town district by the disorderly element and the appar ent helplessness of the police to stamp out the rioting led to a conference be tween Mayor Reyburn, Brigadier Gen- eral Wendell P. Bowman, commander of the First brigade; District Attorney Rotan and Director of Public Safety Chay. General Bowman was asked how soon he could assemble his sol diers in their -armories and mobilize them for service. Under the act of 1850 the mayor has power to call on the miltia to put down rioting. Undoubtedly the course of events will determine whether the city is to be put practically under martial law and the street cars defended with bay- onets. While the rioting Monday was though there were fewer persons shot and heaten, the spirit of the strikers | rescued the shaking motorman. remained precisely the same. There simply were not enough Idlers loose upon the streets to convert an argu | ment into so many bloody fights. .

The passengers, having picked themselves up from the floor where they had been dashed by the shock of the explosion, ran for thelr lives. Some of them were hit by the missiles before they could get free. A riot call was sent to the city hall, and two automobile loads of police tore up. The cops didn't get there in time to save the motorman. He was so b ‘lly beaten that he was taken to the ferson hospital unconscious.

The car was moving forward all this time, slowly, because Maloney had passed out before he could switch on the current.

S— Washington, Feb. 22. — Secretary Knox resents the criticisms of his con- duct of the state department and may issue a statement giving notice that if the people don’t like his kind of diplo- macy he is ready to lapse into a do- nothing rut, or give way to some one else. Mr. Knox believes in mixing com- mercialism and diplomacy, and it Ir- ritates him when he is accused of run- ning the department for the benefit of J. Plerpont Morgan and other big financiers. Some of the inside history of the Hankow railroad loan was given out and throws new light on the part taken in that transaction by the Unit- ed States. It seems that big world poli- tics are involved. This government stepped in just in time to prevent an acl that would have retarded for many years the plans for the national pro- gress of China. The $30¢.000,000 Hankow railroad loan had been practically awarded to the German. French and English syn- dicate. At the eleventh hour the Unit- share of the loan. The European diplo- mats laughed at our representations. The real reason the United States took a hand in the proceeding was the knowledge that the foreign syndicate wae to be secured In its loan by a lfen upon the likin taxes of the various provinces. This tax is regarded as one of the most archaic institutions of : China and a great deterrent to its de. | velopment. The United States plans to abolish this tax and at the same time put the Chinese currency on a modern basis : and reform the customs service. These reforms would have been Impossible, or at least delayed for many vears, if the Hankow loan had been put through | in its original shape. as the lien on i the likin taxes would have perpetuated | the ancient customs. The United States insisted on our | right to share in the loan because of | i our treaty obligations with China and | our prestige in that part of the world. om part In establishing the open doer! policy and other valid reasons. After | a long and bitter controversy the Unit. ed States won out, Secretary Knox regards this as his | finest bit of statesmanship. It saved | China a further setback, and enhanced | the influence of the United States in| | the East. At the same time stipulation | | was made that part of the supplies for the railroad should be purchased in| America. Secretary Knox turned over to J.’ Plerpont Morgan the duty of handling the share of the loan awarded to America. He merely stipulated that the firme taken into the syndicate should be of such a character as to. carry absolute confidence to the for eigners. In reply to the critics who allege that the Knox diplomacy is nothing more than a “plant” to obtain foreign! xa bill, the anti-injunction bill, the | contracts for the Morgan group of bankers, comes the statement that’ any American can obtain recognition | at the state department by merely showing that they are in a position to “make good” and are as responsible as the foreign syndicate, It is stated that the department's action in the loan to the Honduras government was governed by the same | motives. In view of the larger politics in. volved in these transactions, Secretary Krox grows very weary when he hears the charge that he is running the, etate department in the interest of Morgan and other hankers. He believes his policy furthers the | best interests of the United States government. He is becoming tired of the continued criticism. based, as he | believes, on a wrong understanding ' of the situation, and is seriously con- cidering issuing a statement which will show that if the people don't want | thie sort of thing. he will he content te limit his activities simply to pro-| tecting the lives and properties of Americans in foreign lands. Castellanes Ask $13.600. The Marouis and Marquise de Cas | tellane have Instituted suit in Paris aggainst the Princess de Sagan, their former daughter-in-law, for $12, 600 back annuities. This, they allege the count and countess. in the ma riage settlement of 1898. engaged themselves to pay at the rute of $5600 a year. The annuity was paid until the Count and Countess de Castellane were divorced, when the countess, who was formerly Miss Anna Gould, re fused to contribute further to the sup- port of her former husband's parents. M. Bonnet argued the case on behalf of the plaintiffs, and M. Clemenceau will reply within a week. Freed; Wed In 12 Minutes. “Celerity, accuracy, celerity,” is the | motto of the acrobat.

Before the ink had dried on the papers, the pair hurried to City Hall in a taxicab, and at 3:05 had tak- en out a marriage license. Meanwhile, Alderman White had been summoned to City Hall by phone. He arrived at 3:00 and 3 the pair were married. Appreciated. Tubb—Old boy, | want to congratu- late you on your speech at the ban- quet last night.

Among his callers was Senator Bev- eridge. chairman of the committee on territories, who is looking after the Alaskan territorial bill; Senator Car- ter, who is fathering the postal sav- ings bank bill; Senator Borah, who has actively opposed some of the fea: tures of the latter measure, and Rep: resentative Haves, ranked as an in- surgent. whose ald might be helpful in securing united action by the Re- publican majority in the house upon the Republican platform. It is believed the president desires that such measures as the Arizona and New Mexico statehood bill, the Alaskan territorial bill, and others of comparatively minor acted on at once in order to clear the way for some of the large subjects, at least those likely to glve rise to pro- longed discussion and controversy.
