Philadelphia, Feb. 24. A proclama
tion of Mayor John E. Reyburn, de
claring the riot act in force against
the street car strikers and their sym
pathizers was issued in order to give
the police more power in coping with
the rioting mobs.
Practically admitting their inability
to cope with the situation except un
der the most favorable circumstances,
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany announced that no cars would
be operated under prevailing condi
tions In Philadelphia. There was a
complete tieup of traffic.
The strikers themselves were no
where in evidence along the street car
lines, nor have they been since the
strike was declared. All the rioting
has been on the part of sympathizing
crowds and has been an expression of
feeling against the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company, which has been
growing for the past five years. The
service has been getting steadily
worse during that period.
Reports were current all over the
city that blood Is running in the street
and that armed clashes between the
police and the strikers had occurred.
Strikers, police and company officials
issued statements denying this state
of affairs, but all admitted that scores
had been wounded.
Six persons were dying In the hos
pital as the result of the riots follow
ing the first determined attempt of the
company to run cars. More than 100
persons, including a number of wom
en, were suffering from various in
juries. More than thirty of the seriously
wounded were taken to the hospitals,
'.wo of them being women struck by
"mllets, while 500 persons were arrest
ed on charge of inciting riots.
A statement Issued by the compan
says that In all 2H7 cars were damaged
luring the disorders, two cars were
turned, and one partly burned, and
-608 car windows were broken.
Three thousand special policemen
were held at City Hall ready for a
-ush call to cope with the street car
rioters. In addition 1.000 others were
-tationed at the trouble centres where
00 persons were Injured and one lit
ie girl seriously wounded by a pistol
hot. These, with the regular police,
':ept everybody on the move and scat
tered any attempted gathering.
ft Is estimated that 200,000 persons
valked to work. The rain added to
the misery of the pedestrians.
Various vehicles were pressed into
ervlce, and prices of 25 and 50 cents
charged for transporting persons to
vork. Many used roller skates, the
isphalt streets forming a good surface
or rapid progress.
The Central Labor Union decided
'o call out every one of the 76,000
nlon men in the city If the company
ttempts to run its cars with strike
breakers. The trouble began when the offl
i ials of the company treated with the
nembers of the Keystone Union,
gainst the wishes of the members of
he Amalgamated Association. The
utter body made the request of the
tapid Transit officials that no other
nlon he recognized. The recognition
I this union was one of the main
roints at issue between the strikers
nd the eompany.
The rioting extended to all sections
f the city, and the cars were attack
ed by mobs of from five to ten thou
and persons. There were half a doz
n serious riots and innumerable small
'nes.

GOV. HUGHES ORDERS
BIBBBAFT INQUIRI
Appoints Men to Investigate Purchase
of New York Lands ty For
est Commission.
Albany, N. V.. Feb. 24. Cov.
Hughes ordered a thorough investiga
tion of the scandals alleged to have
characterized the purchase and sa'.e
of land in the Adirondack Park re
gions. He designated Roger Clark
and E. Leroy Austin to conduct the
inquiry. It has teen current ruaior
that thousands of doilprs have been
pa'd out by the State Treasury for
doubtful titles to grossly overvalued
lauds, that tracts denuded of timber,
purchased at tax sales or a few cents
an acre, have been resold to the
State for as high as $21 an acre and
that politicians high In Republican
councils have bhared in the transac
tions. In the Conger-Allds Investigation
before the Senate, Senator Conger ad
mitted on the witness stand that one
of the two other envelopes alleged to
have been patscd by Moe was ad
dressed to Jean I- Burnett, a former
Assemblyman from Ontario County,
now dead, and that he was "approach
ed" In regard to the bridge bill by
Louis Bedell, former member of the
Assembly from Orange County and
now living in New York.
The Importance of the forest land
investigation ordered by Gov. Hughes
overshadows even the Conger disclos
ures. The management of this vast
enterprise of the State is Intrusted to
the Department of Forests, Fish and
Game, of which James S. Whipple, a
Hughes appointee, is the Commission
er, with a large and expensive staff of
officials.
The Governor, in announcing his
determination to investigate the
Adirondack scandal to the bottom,
made It very plain to persons with
whom he talked that the Investigation
will be as thorough as he can direct
it, and will follow every trail of dis
honesty wherever It may finally rest.
It is pretty well known that the Gov
ernor Intends to assume the personal
direction of the inquiry as far as his
other public duties may permit. Clark
and Austin are splendidly equipped
for the task before them. They will
first turn their attention to an investi
gation of all the records of Adiron
dack transactions between the State
and private persons and through the
agency of private counsel designated
by the State during the last ten
years.
Some of the most prominent politi
cians and capitalists who have either
bought or sold State lands will then
be summoned to explain some deals
that according to general belief have
resulted in the spoliation of the
State's forest property and Its
finances.
MILITIA QUELL RIOT.

temporarily at least, by the presence
of the militia, the saloons are closed,
no one Is permitted to loiter on the
street; If a group of threo or four men
gather the soldiers disperse them.
John Pratt and Lincoln Wilson are
the negroes the mob sought. Pratt,
who committed a crime in Clarke
County, 111., broke his parole, escaped
and snatched a pocketbook from Mrs.
Rose Maloney In the street. She shot
at him with a revolver, but be got
away. When arrested he Implicated
Lincoln Wilson, who was found guilt
less of the theft. So if the mob bad

Attorney General's Words a Further
Notice of Taft's Intention Indivl
dual Ntust Ce Protected.
Warhinfrton. Feb. 21. Further no
tice as to the Intention of the Admin
istration to enforce the Sherman anti
trust law was given in nn impressive
manner here thlj morning by Attor
ney General WkUersham in the
course of an address delivered at the
Winter convocation of the George
Washington University. Mr. Wick
ershtim ppolce on "Tha Progress of
the Law." He made a review of the
law of Queen Elizabeth and discussing
the development since. He contract
ed sharply the j.o;n'!ar reaction in
England that followed the granting of
numerous monopolies by Queen Eliza
beth with the ajritation against mono
polies that arose In this county twenty
years ago and which led to the enact
ment of the Sherman law.
"V.'e raw," he said. spcaVIng of the
time Juet previous to the adoption of
the anti trust statute, "the rapid con
centration of power over our great In
dustries in a few hands, a power
which no free State can long suffer to
endure; the power of fixing prices at
will, determining the amount of pro
duction, dictat'ng the terms on which
thousands of our fellow-countrymen
might pursue their means of liveli
hood; the power to exclude or permit
comretition; the elements cf those
monopolies which t-o stirred tho gen
eration of Englishmen from vl.osi the
Pilgrim Fathers came."
Thus in a single paragraph the At
torney General reiterates the classi
fication of the prac tirP3 on the part of
corporations which the President re
peatedly has denounced as "vicious,"
and which, in his special message of
January 7, he declared "must be re
strained and punished until ended."
There are thote amor? tho repre
sentatives of preat corporations who
have visited Washington recently in
the effort to ascertain Just whnt the
Administration has'in mind regarding
them, or to persuade the President to
modify the vigor of hi3 proposed
course, who have declared with great
eir.phasis that the programme out
lined by the President In his message
and speeches and now again reiterat
ed by Attorney General Wickersham
is utopianism. It may bo asserted
with complete authority that neither
President Taft nor Mr. Wickersham
ro regards it. The Administration
firmly believes that it Is possible for
"big business" to rid Itself of these
"vicious prar tires" without doing any
real or lasting damage to the business
of the country.
The fundamental principle guiding
all successful civilization, Mr. Wicker
sham said In conclusion, must be to
preserve freedom of action by the In
dividual in a:-, large a measure as is
consistent with the welfare of the
whole.
PUBLICITY CLAUSE HELD UP.
No Money to Enforce That Part of
Corporation Tax.
Washington, Feb. 21. The teeth
have been drawn from President
Taft's corporation tax law, at least
until Congress acts. The President
and his advisers have discovered that
Congress has appropriated no money
with which to index and display the
returns from the corporations.
The President intends until this
condition of affairs can be rectified
to treat the returns from corporations
merely as internal revenue returns,
and thus the business secrets extract
ed from concerns all over, the country
will be accessible only to the corpora
tion or its attorney, or to such per
sons as are authorized by the Presi
dent. JUMP FROM CAR, BREAKS NECK.

bly the worst group of criminals that
ever came to this country were dealt
with here by a United States Court
In a fashion that should strike terror
to their kind. The punishment they
got was the heaviest ever given for
counterfeiting, so far as there Is any
record in this country.
Fo twenty-five days their counsel
had battled for their liberty before
Judge Ray and a Jury In the Criminal
Branch of the United States Circuit
Court- For the same period the coun
sel for the government, Abel I. Smith,
Assistant United Statc3 Attorney, had
fought for their conviction. TUe cul
mination came when the Jury, after
a two hours' session, found a verdict
of guilty. The same length of time
wca spent in Imposing sentence, which
was done amid sobs of the prisoners
and one of their counsel, and the col
lapse of Gluseppl Morello, who was
said to be the leader of the whole
band. The sentences follow;
IGNAZIO LUPO, thirty years and
$1,000 fine.

men who looked to them for leader
ship, they have those responsible for
the murder of Detective Petrosino in

BEEF TRUST INDICTED

Accused of Conspiracy by Hud.
aon County (N.J.) Grand Jury.
Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 24.-The
National Packing Company of ChHaeo
and New York, one of the late st ( on
cerns doing a cold storage? bi''n,.(l
this country, will be Indicted t,v ",
Grand Jury In Hudson County, N. j
on charges of conspiracy in rtr:int
of trndo, according to Prosecutor (;ar.
ven In Jersey City.
Garven said the Grand Jury ordered
him to draw the Indictment on
recommendation that It do sci. nfl
said he believed he could rk into
court with the evidence he has and
Bhow that tho corporation lm been
acting directly to depress the market
to raise the prices of food stuffs and
maintain them at a high level.
The National Packing Company, he
said, Included in Its list of directors
tnen who are the recognized heads of
great packing and foe 1 Interests. Ap
parently those concerns were working
independently of one another, but
there was evidence that the directors
of tbe National Packing Company met
and took formal action to raise the
price of beef and to hold the surplus
beef In cold Btorage until their prlre
was met. The directors are J. Ogden
Armour, Edwin Morris, K. F. Swift, E.
M. Morris, Abraham Meeker. Edward
Tllden, T. J. Connors, L. A. Carton, T.
E. Wilson, C. H. Swift, L. H. Ileyman,
Samuel L. C. Roberts, F. A. Fowler,
A. W. Armour, L. F. Swift and Ken
neth K. McLaren.
The Indictment, Garven said, will
be a blanket charge broad enough to
cover every detail of the ca:;e in
which he thinks the chances of a con
viction possible. He said one of the
best witnesses relative to the meet
ing at which It was agreed to raise the
price of beef consists of the minutes
of the corporation.
In speaking of the general Investi
gation, Garven said he had positive
evidence of where fowl had been kept
In cold storage for seven years.
The corporation has been under fire
for Feveral weeks In Chicago, where it
operates, ' and numerous witnesses
have been summoned before the fed
eral Grand Jury there.
The prosecution of the Beef Trust
In New Jersey Is ba.ed on testimony
showing an arbitral y Increase of
prices, which la made possible large
ly through the warehouses which nro
grouped about the Jersey City termi
nals of the railroads and are being
used by the trust in furthering its
plan to artificially increase the cost
of meats and other commodities.
Thousands of tons of food are also
cached against the day of higher
prices in New York, and for that rea
son the District Attorney of New York
County will co-operate with the New
Jersey authorities In further Investi
gation. In New York County the Grand
Jury decided to find Indictments
against a dozen or more members of
the milk combine.

Washington, Feb. 22. Until to-day
Senator Tillman had spoken but two
words since he was stricken last
Thursday. When the family physician

"Hello, Doctor." A little later an

suppose you remember me?"
"Yes, I do." replied Mr. Tillman,
"you are Dr. White."
