Woman Anarchist Urges Revenge For
Deportation of Strike Leaiers.
Tampa, Fla., Aug. 20.—Excitement
was created here last afternoon by an
extra issue of La Federacion, the organ
of La Resistencia, containing a very in
cendiary article from Louisa Herera,
the woman secretary of the Strippers’
union of Resistencia. Louisa Herera is
an anarchist, and inaugurated the grer»t
trouble here last winter. She is well
known in New York and Chicago,
where she has led a number of strikes.
She calls for Resistencia to pack up and
leave Tampa in a body “as a grinning
skeleton,” using words too profane to
reproduce.
Her article is taken by the general 1
public to mean arson, and she says they j
should leave if the blood of the officers
have to run in reveDge for the men
spirited away from here. A demand
has been made for the arrest of the
woman for the incendiary article.

27,000 feet in length through the heart
of the Sierras. Besides saving a climb

road abovt 7 miles aud is expected to
effect a great saving in operating ex

company for the straightening of curves

Utah completed, passenger trains could
be run between San Francisco aud Chi

what is locally known as the J. Wright
company plant of the American Cigar
company at the corner of Twenty-third

about 400,000 pounds of leaf tobacco in
the building owned by the American
Cigar company, and this, with the ma
chinery, it is estimated, was worth
*115,000.
The building, an immense structure,
covering 19,200 square feet, was owned
by the Continental Tobacco company.
It was five stories high, built entirely of
brick. A conservative estimate of its
valae at the time of the fire is given as
*60,000. It was completely destroyed.

000; insurance *112,000.
