PARIS IS TURNED
INTO BIG CAMP
Extraordinary Preparations Arc
Made to Check Disorder.
MANY STORES WERE CLOSEQ
Many of the Leaders of the Forces of
Disorder Have Been Placed Under
Arrest—Police Charge on the Crowd
of Strikers.
Paris, May I.—May Ist, for which
the government made prodigous prepa
rations, finds many quarters presenting
an appearance of an armed camp. The
forces concentrated under Prefect oi
Police Lepiue, are estimated at 50,000
troops, 12,000 police and 8,000 repub
lican guards, gendarmes and detec
tives. Detachments of troops of all
arms took up positions in the main
centers at an early hour. The bulk
of the military forces had been strict
ly confined to barracks since midnight
and remained under orders to be ready
to move a ta moment’s notice.
The troops at midnight began to
guard the sources of the public water,
gas and electric supplies. The plan
of the authorities was to avoid the
use ot the military unless such a step
vsas Imperative to maintain order.
Accordingly, the aspect of the city
during the early hours was little dis
ferent front usual, but toward noon tne
military activity increased.
The Metropolitan railway and om
nibuses continued to operate, but cab
traffic was crippled owing to the cab
man’s fears. The extensive central
markets were deserted, the country
tolk refusing to risk bringing in pro
visions. The suburbs, which are
guarded by the troops, remained calm.
Strong bodies of troops are posted
at the main railroad depots in the
city. The St. Lazare station is sur
rounded by a squad of cuirassiers, sev
eral companies of infantry and repub
lican guards.
Prior to the opening of the bourse,
a regiment of infantry took up a posi
tion on the terrace and detachments
of cuirassiers occupied the neighbor
ing streets. The bourse opened at
the usual hour, but business was re
stricted.
The bank of France was similarly
guarded by infantry, and cavalry, ant’
pickets and troops patrolled the vi
cinity of all the leading banks and im
portant commercial establishments.
The American Express company and
many other institutions had guards oi
infantry carrying rifles, pacing up and
down before their doors.
The appearance of sentinels and pa
trols on the boulevards and main thor
ouglifares, was an unusual sight.
Squads of dragoons passed frequent
ly through the jewelry district, the
Rue de la Paix, where a number ot
stores did not raise their iron shutters
The place Da la Republique is the
chief center of the labor animation.
The stores in its neighborhood are
closed, and police patrols were busy
keeping the crowds circulating. Many
of the strikers wore a cockade bear
ing an emblem with the words:
“Eight hours’ work with a weekly
holiday.”
About 3,000 infantry occupied the
barracks facing the place De la Repub
lique and other regiments were sta
tioned in houses adjoining the laboi
exchange and the headquarters of the
Confederation of Labor. The iron
doors and windows of the Prince Eu
gene barracks are closed.
Three Policemen Killed.
Warsaw, Russian Poland, May I.
Three policemen were killed in the
streets here during the night, but the
threatened May Day outbreaks have
not materialized up to 2 o’clock this
afternoon. Warsaw is like a city ol
the dead. The shops and restaurants
are closed. No cabs and no street
cars are running, and no newspapers
are being sold. The streets are pa
trolled by troops, but a heavy rain is
falling, which is keeping the populace
indoors.
Thieves Steal Cornerstone.
Pasedena, Cal., May 1. —Thieves on
Monday night stole the cornerstone ol
the North Pasadena Methodist church.
The stone weighs about 800 pounds,
and contained coins and other small
valuables, worth probably |lO. The
church was Just completed. The cor
nerstone was pried out of the build
ing and removed from the premises.

MAY DAY MARKED
BY NUMEROUS STRIKES
Hundreds of Men Are Out In
New England.
CHICAGO LONGSHOREMEN STRIKE
Marine, Transport and Longshoremen
Employed on Docks at Cleveland
Also Quit Work —All Tugs Are Prac
tically Tied Up.
Boston, May 1. —May Day was mark
ed by numerous strikes in New Eng
land. The majority of difficulties were
confined to the building trades.
Strikes of carpenters occurred in
Lawrence and its vicinity, and in other
places. The Lawrence men, about 1,000
in number, demand an 8-hour day at
a wage of $3. In Lynn, about 200 ma
chinists who desire a 9-hour day with
a half holiday on Saturdays, are idle,
and a number of carpenters, painters
and plumbers are also out.
Conditions are unsettled in the Cape
Ann granite district, in the Blackstone
valley and Fall River building trades
and in several branches of the building
trades in other places.
In Boston, while there was no gen
eral disturbance, several small strikes
occurred, but the number of men idle
here on account of labor disputes is not
great.
Longshoremen Go on Strike.
Chicago, May 1. —-At midnight Mon
day all the members of the Longshore
men's union at South Chicago, number
ing about 3,000 quit the work of load
ing and unloading vessels. Os these
1,600 are are unloaders and three ore
laden steamers will be tied up by the
strike. The grain trimmers are in
cluded In the strike order.
Marine Strike Inaugurated.
Duluth, May I.—The marine strike
was officially inaugurated at the head
of the lakes at midnight Monday. Or
ders were received from President
Keefe calling out the longshoremen.
The tug men, however, were not noti
fied, and they are working as usual.
The men on boats subject to strike or
ders are the union mates, firemen and
the oilers.
Quit Work at Cleveland.
Cleveland, 0., May 1. —Every mem
ber of the Marine, Transport and the
Longshoremen’s union employed on
the docks here quit work at midnight
Monday, and Tuesday not a pound of
ore or grain was being handled in
Cleveland. The same condition ex
ists at practically every Lake Erie
port.. Every tug in the harbor was
tied up Tuesday morning. The li
censed Tug Men’s Protective associa
tion are affiliated with the longshore
men, as are the firemen on the tugs,
and not a screw on a union tug turned
after midnight Monday.
The port of Cleveland strike direct
ly affects 1,000 seamen. About 65 1
laborers went on the Cleveland and
Pittsburg dock.
Train crews, innumerable railroad
officials state, will be thrown out of
work because of the stoppage of the
coal traffic. It Is estimated that if
the strike lasts for one month, 30,000
men in Cleveland alone will be thrown
out of work.
No Trouble at Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Wia., May I.—There was
no trouble among the longshoremen in
Milwaukee Tuesday. Vessels which
are arriving here are being unloaded
by men employed on the boats accord
ing to contract. If any trouble arises,
It will be when local longshoremen
are called upon to load vessels for re
turn trips.
Lake Traffio at Standstill.
Chicago, May 1. —Lake traffic was
for the greater part at a standstill
here Tuesday, the vessel owners mak
ing little apparent effort to move their
vessels. They said, however, that they
would move their boats when ready to
do so.
The center of the strike as far as
this city Is concerned, Is not in the
city proper, but in South Chicago,
where the mills of the Illinois Steel
company, a branch of the United
States Steel corporation, are located.
Several of the vessels at this place
made haste to get away from the
city before the strike order reached
their men, and were out in the lake
when the strike materialized. The
passenger boats running out of Chi
cago have not, so far, been affected
by the strike, and there is no Immedi
ate prospect that they will be.
Banta Fe Train Derailed.
Los Angeles, Cal., May I.—Santa Fe
passenger train No. 24, was derailed
Monday at Horse Shoe Bend, Orange
county, between Orange and Coronel,
injuring several passengers and train
men. The engine jumped the rails
while running at a rapid rate of speed
and the tender, combination baggage
and mail cars followed and were prac
tically wrecked.
Lynching Case Not Prossed.
Hattiesburg, Miss., May I.—Murder
cases against four Hattiesburg citi
zens, D. B. Holmes, Henry Holmes, A.
T. Powe and Albert T. James, for par
ticipation in the double lynching of
the negroes, Brock and Lewis, have
been dismissed in court by District
Attorney Talley, who entered a nol
prosequi.
King Edward Has Fall. .
Naples, May I.—The fact that King
Edward had a slight fall on the stairs
on the royal yacht Victoria Just be
fore leaving for Vesuvius caused the
circulation of exaggerated rumors
about the accident to the king, who*
however, was not Injured. ,
Premier Witt’s Organ Confiscated. !
Kieff, Russia, May 1. —A sensation
has been caused here by the action of
the police in confiscating all copies of
the Official St. Petersburg Russkoe
Gosudarstvo, the organ of Premier
Witte, because the authorities here re
seated the paper’s political attitude as
{>eing too liberal.

preciation they made up this hand

ed people of this city.

charge. A site which is looked on fa

Cure OllVi ■
If olive oil congeals in freezing
weather, it Is a sign that it is adulter
ated with lard. Very few bottles of so
called olive oil will stand this simple
test—in fact, we seldom get the pure
thing, and, if we did, the chances are
that we could not eat it. At least, that
was the experience once upon a time of
one woman who used a great deal of
mayonnaise dressing upon her table
and had supposed that she doted on
olive oil. An Italian friend bestowed ’
upon her a flask of the peculiarly green
fluid. To ber surprise, not one of her
family, herself included, could bear Its
taste. There was a tang to it which
showed them that they had never eaten
olive oil before and that they never
wanted to eai it again. So they gave
the flask away.—New York Telegram.
Seven Men Crowned
Beverly, N. J., Oct. 23.—A launch
containing ten men, all of Philadelphia,

river, of this place, resulting in the

It was like this.”—Yonkers Statesman.

WOULD HANG SHERMAN
WHILE ON HIS MARCH
Acting Mayor of Savanna States
Plainly His Position.
PROVOKED ADVERSE COMMENT
Action of the Government in Provid
ing an Escort for the Son of Gen
eral Sherman Caused Outburst of
Warm Indignation.
Savannah, Ga., May 1. —The march
of Rev. Father Sherman, son of Gener
al Sherman, over the route his fath
er took on his famous “march to the
sea,” has provoked a great deal of ad
verse comment by the Confederate
Veterans.
Captain L. G. Young, president of
the Confederate Veterans’ association,
said:
“I cannot imagine what possible
good such a visit can do, but it may
do considerable harm In awakening
the memories of one of the most bru
tal marches ever made. There cer
tainly is nothing to be proud of in
Sherman’s marching with a large army
through a country undefended, and
then report to his government that he
had destroyed more than twice as
much property as was necessary for
support of his army. Sherman did
this without just cause.
“Then, again, the government can
scarcely understand the tempef of our
people, since it is deemed necessary
for the son of Sherman to have a
guard as he advances through the
country. Notwithstanding all that
has been done, he would find himself
as safe in this section as In any other
section of the country.”
General S. F. B. Gillespie, a promi
nent member of the Grand Army of
the Republic, said:
"It is outrageous. If the reverend
father wants to see the ground over
which his father went, why doesn’t he
get a carriage? I can’t see how the
government came to furnish an es
cort.”
Acting Mayor Dixon’s opinion was to
the point:
“If it were left to me, I’d have him
caught and hung before he reached
Savannah.”
Claims Porter Stole Jewels.
Macon, Ga., May 1. —Bibb superior
court went into the hearing of a suit

the absence of bail he was remanded
to police headquarters.

A DASHING AUTOMOBILE STORY ft
A
Motor-Car, Divorce 1
By LOUISE CLOSSER HALE
A BREEZY and deliciously humorous motor-car romance —the
fact that the hero and heroine are man and wife makes it
no less a romance.
Mrs. Ward, a believer in the theory of the ten-year marriage
contracts advanced by George Meredith, goes with her indulgent
husband on an automobile tour through France and Italy for the
purpose of securing a divorce on the grounds of “ incompatibility
of temper,” which, in reality, do not exist. It takes another woman,
several accidents and the automobile to bring Mrs. Ward to her
proper senses.
