Puterson. X. J., Anvil 23. Striking
dye helpers today stormed the estab
lishments that were still running, and
by force compelled u complete suspen
Blon of business in their trade. They
engaged in ;i series of running lights
with the police anil plant manngois,
iiml in one of the severest clashes ex
changed a volley of pistol shots with
them. The indicals among the strikers
were in command. Many persons on
either .side were severely Injured dur
ing the rioting, but none dangerously
CO. It was believed for a lime that ll
Would be necessary to ask the state
for troops! to restore order and insure
protection to life anil property, but the
police expressed eontldenee In their
ability to handle thr situation, and no
request for outside aid was made. Ju go
Dixon called the grand jury and
charged them to Indict the persons
guilty of rioting.
The conservative element n 1110117 the
strikers had in the meantime dis
avowed the violence of their fellows,
and urging a return to peaceful means
to gain the end that was sought.
A written demand upon the employ
ers for pay was formulated, and a com
mittee opened negotiations for its con
sideration. Large numbers of the strikers were
, 5n sullen spirit, and it was predicted
tonight that any attempt on the purt
of the employers to resume business
without dealing with them would be
desperately resisted. "When the strik
ers completed their campaign against
the plants "in operation the number ot
men out was found to be nearly 4,000.
Disorder "Unexpected.
The disorder began early In the day
nnd was unexpected. A meeting of
Mrikers was held at S o'clock at Rue
ger's Riverside hall, und two hundred
men gathered at the place. The hall
would not accommodate them nil, and
the proceedings were slow because of
the many nationalities represented.
To simplify matters It was nnully de
cided to have the men of each shop on
strike nppolnt a committee of five to
represent them. -The meeting was or
derly and declared for peace, and the
men were urged to keep nway from the
shops. The meeting of commit tea pre
pared and adopted the following de

While the meeting was In progrtss a
number of strikers stood ouihIUu the
hull angrily discussing their griev
ances. The rudleuls urged a raid upon
the works still in operation and when
their suggestion was approved headed
a rush for the plant of Johnson Cow
din & Co. The men at woik there
were called out and the strikers niov
ed on to the establishment of Jumcs
Simpson & Co. The firm fearing
trouble dismissed tlui men and closed
its doors. Robert Cluedes' winks were
visited next and after that the Ham
ford mills, where the ilrst serious dis
order occuired, w.is suriutinded. The
properly Is walled in but the strikers
gained the yard before tlio gates wrie
shut. Windows weie smashed, chem
icals spilled and considerable damage
done, The men at work In the plant
quickly quitted their places, While
one mob wuh closing the Jiauifoid mill
another was surging Into the plant of
the American Hllk Dyeing unit Finish
ing company. Armed with dyo slicks
nnd stones they charged through the
plunt driving the men from their
places, George Arnold, ono of the
members of the firm diopped lusensl
hie with a blow on the head from u
dyo e tick,
Whero Shooting Occurred.
Almost fclmultuneously an attack
was begun on tho works of Ihnll fleer
ing and It was In tho light for posses
sion of ft that the shooting occurred.
Two policemen weto guarding the
property and whim the mob euiuu
rushing down on them they warned
those In the van to keep away. Home
one In the crowd discharged a revol
ver and tho police quickly rettiriuW the
flre, Half a dozen bhots were llrcd,
and one striker, who cbcapod uniden
tified wus 'phot In the leg. The inob
stoned tho two policemen, and when
one of the latter arrested ono""uf tho
leaders, closed In uround lilm. The
-
officers swung their clubs nnd bent
their way out of tho crowd A striker
enguRod Mr. fleering but was beaten
off. One of the patrolmen finally se
cured it rifle nnd when he came out
and faced tho crowd with It there was
a great scattering.
From Geering's, tho strikers hurried
away toward tho property of Knlp
t'cher and Mans, but that raid was
checked by a squad of police. The
latter formed across tho street, and,
marching forward with night sticks
drawn, forced the crowd back. Gerald
Mlstell, a young striker, hurled a rock
ut tho police and was placed under
arrest. Tho crowd tried to rescue him
und to the number of several hundred
followed tho at resting ofllcers to the
prison, hooting at them as they trailed
along. An attempt was made to or
ganic?, n second movement against Mr.
Oeoring's works, but only n. few volun
teers were found who were willing to
tuko part in It. At noon, the men nt
work for (jeering went out, and the
place was closed up.
At some of tho places raided, some
of the strikers familiar with tho ma
chinery turned the steam on at full
force, and It was an effective weapon
in driving the workmen out.
The strikers met at Riverside again
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to receive
reports of the several shop committees.
Nearly every one of the latter reported
thai their particular shop would agree
lo the wage concessions demanded if
all the other shops would. The conser
vative leaders strongly advised tho
strikers lo 'avoid violence and dis
avowed the attacks made on the mill
during th' morning.
If the dyers strike Is prolonged, other
branches of tho great silk industries
which center in and around Patcrson
will be affected.

MORE "WATER CURE"
EVIDENCE FURNISHED
Two Lynn Men Send Senator Lodge
a Statement of Instances of Tor
ture Under Their Observation.
By i:clusito Wire from The Associated Press.
Lynn, Mass., April 23. Two men.
William Labelle and Albert W. Bert
rand, formerly privates In Company
D. Twenty-sixth regiment, United
States volunteers, sent to Senator
Lodge a statement of Instances of the
application of Hie "water euro'1 in the
Philippines that came under their ob
servation. Bertrand was clerk of
Company D, and regimental clerk at
headquarters while the regiment was
stationed at Panay. Labelle says that
while at Anllao 'three natives wero
taken by Company D men into a Cath
olic church and given tho "water cure."
Ono of the natives refused' to tell
where insurgent guns were secreted,
and after he hud been given the "water
cure" ho was blindfolded and one of
the soldiers tired his gun near the
man's head. The Instant the gun was
fired another member of tho squad hit
the native with, a stone, nnd he was
told that he had been shot.' The
native then told the United States
soldiers where they could find the
guns. Labelle gives the names of the
otlleers and privates who participated
lu administering the punishment.
Labelle further says that in tho sum
mer of 1900, while the United States
forces were about three miles from Ks
tancl. Company D captured three na
tives and gave them the water cure.
After the men had been filled with
water, blood came from their eyes and
ears.
Bertrand bus furnished Senator Lodge
with particulars of the alleged disap
pearance and killing of Father Au
gustine, a Catholic priest, at Bolo. Ho
says It was reported that Father Au
gustine knew where Insui gents' gold
was burled. Men from Company D
captured htm In December, 1900, and
dressed him In a uniform of the Uni
ted States artillery. He wan then tak
en to Banato and kept in a well. 'Ho
refused to tell where the gold was
burled, and on the night of Dec. l, he
was taken to a house formerly occu
pied by the prcsldente of tho village.
Upon his arrival there. Bertrand says,
the water cure wus given him by the
"water cure squad." The men suc
ceeded In getting neaily all the water
out of him, but he did not revive. The
men became frightened and a surgeon
wus sent for. Uhi services proved un
successful and Bertrand says that tho
priest died,
Some of tho men wero sworn to se
crecy nnd tho body was burled in a
plot of land used by the troops as a
base ball ground. Bertrand says that
a non-conunlssloned officer was seen
wllh tho priest's watch and chain, and
when 11 commissioned otllcor learned
this, they were turned over to him,
Bertrand gives iho names of tlio men
taking part, and also refers to revcrnl
officers. t
According to Labelle, when Company
I) was out on a hike, while stationed at
Duiigas, in July, WOO, the men wore or
dered to burn everything and seo that
no grown persons escaped.
This, Labelle says, tho men proceed
ed to do, Labelle and Bertrand say
that while at Dungns tho toldlers canto
to ti hut whero a nutlvo woman had
Just given birth to a. child. Tho hus
band was madn a prisoner and tho
woman and children weio dragged
from tho house and left on tho ground.
Tho native shack wns then burned,
but Labello and Bertrand do nol know
what became of the woman and child,

At a banquet last Saturday night of
tho Colorado Sons of the Kevolutlou,
General Funston Is reported to have
said of Senator Hoar:
"I have only sympathy for tho senior
senator from Massachusetts, who Is
suffering from an over-heated con
science." Probably what caused the Issue of
this particular letter was an applica
tion from General Funston for leave
of absence, in order that he might at
tend the hajiquet to be given In Boston
by the Middlesex club. It was under
stqod that "he was to deliver another
address there, and as the president de
precates tho discussion of public ques
tions in this fashion by United States
officials and ofllcers, this letter was
sent. The request for leave of ab
sence was refused. A copy of Mr.
Sanger's letter was forwarded to Sena
tor Hoar.
Denver. Col., April 2.".. To a repre
sentative of the Associated Press, Gen
eral Funston said, with reference to
tho statement from Washington that
the president had directed him to cease
further discussion of public questions,
that he bad not as yet received any
such order from Washington. Con
tinuing, the general said that in the
future his public utterances would be
free from any reference to tho Philip
pines, and intimating that his speeches
as printed, were, as a rule, full of mis
statement and very badly garbled.
General Funston announced, last Sat
urday that ho would not attend the
Middlesex club bnnquet at Boston. He
has accepted an Invitation to attend a
banquet, to be given In his honor, In
this city, on May 17, by the Colorado
Volunteers' association.
