Two companies marched into the plant to reinforce 100 strike guards and two other com panies patrolled the opposite hill to prevent the. mob organizing. Op erations at the mill are entirely sus pended to-day and no attempt was made to operate it. Three hundred office employes are marooned in the plant, where they spent the night for safety and to keep lires going. Hy noon to-day virtually every com pany of the three regiments compris ing the Second Brigade of the Ohio Xational Guard ordered here for strike duty was either in the city or its sub urbs.

U, Stougli, 200 citi zens of Struthers village, which lies across the Mahoning river opposite East Youngstown, have armed them selves and massed on the bridge lead ing across the river ready to repel a threatened invasion of strikers. The men are armed with rifles and re volvers. A charge of fifty pounds of dynamite has been placed beneath the bridge and a wire made ready to Carry a current to set off the blast and blow up the bridge the moment a mob starts across. A notice has been posted to this effect and all persons warned away from the bridge. Damage to property had been threatened' in Struthers. Rioting Started General Speaks has received an ap peal from citizens of Struthers to send help at once to that village for pro tection from rioting there. The mes sage stated that a niob has formed and is engaged in a general tight in the streets, men shooting and beating tip each other. General Speaks at once sent two companies of militia to Struthers in automobiles. Later reports said that the situation at Struthers was under control, but troops will be kept on duty there to prevent further trouble. The civic and military authorities now believe that for the present at least, an end has been put to the wild scenes of rioting and looting which marked last night and left the thriving little city a mass of embers. One life is known to have been lost, fully ten blocks of the town, including the en tire business section, were burned and several thousand persons were driven from their homes. The property dam age was placed at no less than $1,000,000. Physicians who were called to look after the wounded placed the number at a hundred, although only fifteen had been brought to hospitals here. While the majority had been shot, there were many wounds from knives, bearing out the statement that when the rioters were finally driven from Wilson avenue, the main street of the town, they began fighting among them selves.

Shot Loads to Volley A crowd of men and women esti mated at 200 had gathered at the East Youngstown end of the bridge and jeered the workmen as they crossed. Suddenly a shot was fired, and guards, i taking this as a signal, fired over the [ heads of the crowd. The mob replied j and another volley came. A number of persons, including two women, fell and the mob broke and ran tip the hillside.

With the passengers, he was finally transferred to the liner Patria, after it became evident that the Thessaloniki could not make port.

HEAVILY ARMED BAND OF YEGGS SHOT IN FIGHT Surprised by Posse When They Try to Blow Post Office Safe in War Bride Town PITCHED BATTLE RAGESj J Three of Robbers in Hospital With Bullet Wounds; Two Others in Jail By Associated Press Pennsgrove, N. J., Jan. .B.—A gang; of six or seven yeggmen were sur prised while robbing the post office here early to-day with the result that three of the robber band are In a hos pital with bullet wounds and two others are in the Camden county jail after a battle with a posse of citizens, policemen and postal inspectors. Hecausc of the great increase In the j number of employes at the Du Pont , powder works at Carney's Point, N. J., j Pennsgrove has grown from a quiet j little place to a thriving town of about 2 5.000 persons and in consequence of which the post office these days is a busy place. On pay day at the jiowder plant two weeks ago an attempt was j made to rob the post office, and as yesterday was again nay day another visit from the robbers wus anticipated. Chief Marshall Harbeson, of Penns grove, enlisted the services of half a dozen citizens to help his force of four policemen and postal officials sent lour inspectors. All were armed. Yejjgmen Open lire The post office was surrounded at, midnight by this guard and at 2.30 a. m. the yeggmen silently approached the little building from different direc- , tions, jimmied open the front door and entered. One man remained out side as lookout. Soon afterward the | posse closed In on the post office and l the lookout opened fire. Instantly the j other yeggmen appeared at the doors and windows and started shooting, the posse returning the fire vigorously. The veggmen retreated under the continuous fire of the posse, but three i fell wounded. They were taken to the hospital, where they gave their names as John Mayo, 42 years, St. Paul, Minn.: Frank Matson, 38, Galesburg, 111., and Charles Collins. Mayo was shot in the arm. as was Matson. The letter also was shot in the foot, and his face was peppered with blrdshot. Col lins was shot in the hand. After the battle the town was searched and two of the gang were arrested. All Heavily Aroicil All the yeggmen were heavily armed, but none of the posse was struck. Mayo was the only one of the men who would talk. He said he and his companions hud planned the raid for some time. He said he was spotter and lookout for the gang, which means that he went ahead as advance man several days before the raid was to take place, looked the ground over, got the "layout" of the place and sized up the obstacles to be overcome. Then while his 'pals" did the robbery he waited outside, guarding against sur prise. Mayo lamented the fact that lie ; failed as spotter. When he came to | Pennsgrove several days ago he saw but one policeman, and believed that was all the town had. They expected to knock him unconscious, said Mayo, and bind him while they worked. They I assembled in Wilmington, Del., for the raid and went across the Delaware river on the midnight boat. They looked about for the lone policeman, and, not finding him. they concluded he was asleep and went ahead with their work, never suspecting- that the one policeman had grown into a posse of heavily armed men who were on guard. The yeggmen had broken open a small safe and were about to attack a larger one when the posse surprised them.
