Workers in a chicory factory went on strike some time ago. Last evening one of them molested a man who had continued at work, and in the fight which ensued the striker was stabbed and killed. The striker’s comrades later gath ered in front of the factory and de manded that the non-striker be handed over to them. Their request was re fused and they threatened to demolish the factory. The local police were unable to cope with the angry strikers-and reinforce ments were called for from Stettin. Shortly afterward a body of 300 armed policemen arrived in automobiles from headquarters in Stettin and a pitched battle between them and the strikers occurred. The police freely used their sabers and revolvers. The strikers replied with pistol shots, but were soon overcome by the disciplined force. They were finally dispersed, leaving many of their number wounded on the ground. The casualties were in some cases of a severe nature. Ten policemen and about sixty civilians were treated by surgeons during the night. MORSE WINS BIO SUIT BROUGHT BY K.

C., June 9.—Aim ing to protect the cigar smokers of America from fraud through the sale of adulterated and mislabeled cigars, and to increase the federal revenue from the importation of Cuban tobaccos, Senator Fletcher, of Florida, has pro posed an amendment to the adminis trative clause of the pending tariff bill that will probably be accepted by the finance committee. The senator pro poses to accomplish Tor the cigar smokers in a few words substantially the same thing that was accomplished by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and the pure food crusaders through the enactment of the pure food law. The Fletcher amendment provides that the United States government shall inspect and stamp all cigars manufac tured in America of pure Havana to bacco. The expense of the inspection shall be borne entirely by the tobacco manufacturers themselves. He believe® the effect of this inspection and label ing will be to increase the importa tion of tobacco from Cuba in the same proportion that the enforcement of the law will clear the cigar market of misbranded and fraudulent “imported” cigars. He thinks that quite a tidy sum o frevenue will be thus raised. It has come to the attention of Sena tor Fletcher, who represents large cigar manufacturing interests situated at Tampa arid Key West, that millions of “imported" cigars, made of domestic, filler and Porto Rican wrappers, are sold to the unsuspecting smoking pub lic every year. The average smoker thinks he is getting a clear Havana, and pays accordingly. He doesn’t get what he pays for, ami the government doesn’t get any revenue from the “imported” tobacco. $1,500,000 RETURNED TO BANK BY DEFAULTER PHILADELPHIA, June 9.—An indict ment charging Walter S. Shourds, for mer superintendent of the Safe Depos it vaults of the Merchants’ Union Trust company, with the theft of nearly a million and a half dollars in cash and securities, was ordered submitted to a jury yesterday for a verdict of “not guilty.” Counsel for the company ex plained that full restitution had been made by Shourds.

Subsequently it was discovered In addition to the cash $1,400,000 in secur ities were missing from the strong box of George W. Burnham, Jr., a director of the company. Shourds is said to have opened negotiations with the bank officials by means of advertisements in the neswpapers and when assured that he would not be prosecuted if the mon ey and securities were surrendered he returned. WILSON CONSIDERS PLAN TO TAX TOBACCO MEN WASHINGTON, June 9—At the W r hite House today it was said Presi dent Wilson was still considering At torney General McReynolds' plan to tax manufacturers of tobacco on a sliding scale and had com? to no decision. TV plan is to Increase the rate of tax aV the production goes over a cer tain mark, with the view of curbing monopoly.

It was added that neither the presi dent nor Attorney General McReynolds had reached a final decision as to possi ble action relating to the efficacy of the ■dissolution decree o ft'ne Standard Oil company and the tobacco trust.

IMPOSSIBLE TO CRUSH OTHERS, SAYS ROBERTS NEW YORK, June 9.—It would be a physical Impossibility for the United States Steel corporation to drive its competitors out of business, according to Percival Roberts, Jr., one time pres ident of the American Bridge companjf and now a director in the corporation, who testified today in the government’s dissolution suit against the corpora tion.

GRASSHOPPER PLAGUE IS GROWING SERIOUS WASHINGTON, June 9.—The grass hopper problem in New Mexico is a se rious one, according to Harrison B.

Stephens, the organizer of the rail way mail service in Alaska and the man who brought order out of chaos in the postal service in San Francisco follow ing the earthquake and fire, today took the oath of office as general superin tendent of the railway mail service, vice Theodore Ingalls of Kentucky, de moted and transferred to Cleveland as division superintendent. Stephens' assumption of the office will be hailed with delight throughout the country, long suffering from a demoral ized inefficient service-. Nowhere more than in the south will the announcement be received with pleasure, alike by the public and by thousands of railway mail clerks. It will be accepted correctly as a forerunner of a disposition on the part of Postmaster General Burleson and his subordinates to place the rail way mail service on an efficient basis. This service is the keystone of the arch upon which rests the whole postal sys tem Of the United States. It is believed that Stephens, who, besides being a thoroughgoing efficient mail expert Is also a strong Democrat, will reorganize the entire railway mall service. It is practically assured that a. number of division superintendents will be transferred or demoted. It is equally certain that some of the chief clerks—the office men—who have made themselves thoroughly objectionable and established their incompetency, will be demoted or removed. Reporters Are “Muckers" Shun 'Em, Warns Speer (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., June 9.—In his ad dress to the Mercer law class Judffe Emory Sper made an at tack on newspaper reporters and law yers by saying the reporters were sub sidized by lawyers. He also referred to newspaper men as “muckers’ ’and he de fined a “mucker” as a “liar.” Among other things he warned the young lawyers against avertising them selves and their cases in the newspa pers. “I have looked with growing misap prehension upon the tendency of the lawyers of today to subsidize the news paper reporters,” he said. “In the end, young gentlemen, you will find that a lawyer must stand on his own mer its. “Don’t be afraid of the ‘mucker,’ ” he warned them. “Do you know what a mucker is? He is a newspaper liar.” He stated that a ‘mucker’ may attack a lawyer or a judge from every point of view, but that the man with back bone will not be frightened, and will not bend to the dictates of such one. WILSON REFUSES TO SAVE NEGRO’S NECK WASHINGTON, June 9.—President Wilson today refused to interfere with the death sentence of Nathaniel Green, a negro, who last Christmas night as saulted a white woman here.

M. Paxton. Charles H.

The warrants calling for the arrest of the couple were made at the instance of Mrs. Ida Plum mer, who followed Mrs. Grace to Down ingtown and became very friendly with her. fter Mrs. Plummer had obtained all the information she desired, sne told the hotel proprietor, it Is said, that “Mrs. Oldham” and Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace were the same individual.

ADMINISTRATION STRONG FOR PURE FOOD LAWS (By Associated Press.) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 9.— There has been and will bo no step backward in the enforcement of the pure food laws under the new administration. Dr. Carl Alsberg, chief cf the bureau of chemistry, today told the National Wholesale Grocers’ association In an nual session here. He- added, however, “that the administration of the law will gain In effectiveness if coupled with a policy^ of education and instruction.” Dr. Alsberg said he hoped to make the chemistry bureau as valuable to the consumer as the department of ag riculture as a whole had been to the farmer. “One of the great needs of the times,” he continued, “is more science in the manufacture of goods. Here in the Unit ed States the business of food manu facture has advanced with extraordinary rapidity. We no longer ‘live at home,’ as they say in the south. Our tatxle is dependent on the distant grocer, the distant manufacturer. The food problem is not a problem of the home or even of the locality. It is a problem nation wide. SUNDRY APPROPRIATION BILL MAY DIE IN SENATE * TVAjJHINGTON, June 9.—Democratic senators declared today they would let the illfated sundry civil appropriation bill die before yielding to the demand of the house that the membership of beards of governors of soldiers’ homes be reduced. Vetoed by former President Taft and left unacted upon by the last congress, the apparently “hoodooed” bill has left President Wilson in a quandary as to whether to approve its much discussed provision to exempt farmers’ organiza tions and labor unions from prosecu tion under the Sherman law. / The bill arries $116,000,000 and pro vides for the customs service, life sav ing, immigration and public health serv ices, interstate commerce commission, mine rescue work and many other im portant branches of the government. ii it is not passed by July I emergency appropriations will be necessary.

Box 15 MACON, GA Bigrt. of Engines, Boilers, Shingle Machines, Cut-off Saws, Etc BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, June 9.—The way is being prepared for the enactment of Alaskan railroad legislation at this session of congress. The preliminaries have all been attended to, and the bill on which the senate will practically be agreed, will be reported back from the territories committee in a few days. President Wilson has said that he is anxious for Alaskan legislation at the earliest available moment. Two bills providing that the govern ment itself should construct a railroad system in Alaska, and guarantee the bonds necessary to pay for it, were introduced in the senate early in the present session, and referred to the ter ritories committee, one by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, and the other by Senator Jones, of Washington. After considering these bills for several weeks, and holding extended hearings, the committee appointed a sub-commit tee of five, the senators named being a part of it, to draft a new bill, in the light of the testimony taken at the hearings, and of criticisms and sugges tions from other sources. That sub-committee, after conferring with President Wilson, has at last con cluded its work, and will report to the full committee, at which time the bill agreed upon, it is expected, will be or dered reported favorably to the senate. The plan is to give that bill right of way, by making it the unfinished busi ness of the senate, thus insuring debate on its provisions continuously until dis posed of. The hope is that the debate, which it is believed will not be pro tracted, will exhaust itself by the time the finance committee is ready to take up the tariff, and that the bill will pass the senate with almost no opposi tion. This being the case, Chairman Underwood will be expected, at White House suggestion, to place the bill be fore the house caucus, where approval will be certain. It would then be a matter of but a few days to pass it through that body, and send it to the president for his approval. RELIES ON SECRETARY LANE. Having given this legislation his ap proval, the president has intimated that he will be too busy to follow it in detail, but that Secretary Lane, of the interior department, will be his repre sentative in seeing to details. Mr. Lane will confer with house and senate lead ers from time to time, as occasion may require, and will make suggestions subject to the president’s approval. Al ready the secretary has given his full approval to the scheme of federal con struction of railways in Alaska, and to the compromise bill which is to go be fore the territories committee. OIL COMPANY’S CODE BOOK PROBED AT TRIAL State of Texas' Suit for $99,- 000,000 Penalty in Full Swing CORSICANA, Tex., June 9.—The Mag nolia Petroleum company’s code book was put under investigation when tes timony was resumed in the state' of Texas’ hearing of testimony in its $99,- 000,000 oil ‘penalty suit.

Colger, .Tr., a stockholder of the Magnolia and president of the Standard Oil company of New York, has a Magnolia code book. C. N. Payne, of Titusville, Pa., another Magnolia stockholder, who is an of ficial of the National Transit company, also has one, Mr. Proctor said. URUGUAY SANCTIONS TREATY WITH U. S. MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, June 9.— The Uruguayan senate today gave its sanction to the conclusion of a treaty of arbitration between Uruguay and the United States. WASHINGTON, June 9.—Seeking more light on the print paper question, the senate finance sub-committee, con sidering fhe wood pulp and paper sched ule of the Underwood tariff bill, con ferred today with John Norris, of New York, chairman of the committee on paper of the American Newspaper Pub lishers’ association. Print paper costing not more than 2 1-2 cents a pound was put on the free list in the Underwood bill, but representatives of the paper manufac turers appearing before the senate sub committee urged a contervailing duty because of Canadian restrictions on pulp woods. The sub-committee has not yet acted on that proposal. Senators John son. of Maine; Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and Hughes, of New Jersey, constitute the committee. WASHINGTON, June 9.—Two of the senate finance subcommittees working on the tariff hill failed to complete their work today, and Senator Sim mons, chairman of the finance commit tee. has been compelled to withhold d call for the full committee meeting. Senator Johnson’s subcommittee^ is still considering the paper and sun dries schedules, and Senator Williams’ subcommittee has not settled upon the administrative features or the income tax section of the bill. These commit tees may be able to complete their work Tuesday. Senator Williams’ committee is con* sidering eliminating the anti-dumping clause of the Underwood bill on the ground that it might precipitate retalia tory tariffs by foreign nations.
