PA, May 10—One nan is known to be shot, g. man and a / woman are reported to have been hit'by flying bullets, and two city policemen were injured in a fierce riot of mine workers and sympathizers in an atttack on the Cuyahoga colliery of the Lacka wanna railroad at North Scranton to i Jay. A mob of 700 men and women | stoned and fired upon the police. R To save themselves from annihila tion. the police fired into the crowd. Two men" and two women were ar rested. Twenty additional policemen and a squad of five state police were summoned to reinforce the defenders. The battle waged more than half an hour, and at least a hundred shots were fired. Woman Leads Attack. A woman led in the attack on the colliery, and the men used the women and children for shields. They fought s in the opening and from behind coal | cars until Michael Ploka, who. the po- | lice say. was well up in the front of the attacking force, fell with a bullet In his left leg. Another man shot in the thigh and a woman sfhot in the leg were seen to fall, according to people who witnessed the riot. Ambulances were called, but when they arrived the rioters had carried their wounded away. The Lackawan na sent a dozen of its detectives to the breaker, armed with riot guns. The colliery is now being guarded by i heavily armed officers to prevent fur r ther outbreaks. The riot was the culmination of the k sutbreak that began last Tuesday. It was the worst of any, however, and ■ tears are entertained that there will be more trouble tomorrow and Sunday. To guard as much as possible against % outbreaks, police and state troopers ’* have been assigned to the various col li lierles. Most of the trouble is con fined to the northern end of the city.

Rolland, col ored. is in Grady hospital today with a bullet in his shoulder, fired by a back slider who resented the pastor’s ef forts to bring him back into the fold. A fusillade of pistol shots emptied the negro First Union Baptist church, Schofield and Horton streets, scattered the congregation to the four winds and sent the, pastor to the hospital. The “bad nigger" who did the shooting was lost in the excitement. Charley Leaks was the derelict mem ber who caused a stampede when he emptied his pistol at the pastor be cause the latter had attempted to bring the sinner back into the fold. Leaks resented the repeated visits of the pas tor to his home and last night he loi tered in the rear of the church. As the pastor began his exhortation, Leaks leveled his revolver. As the first sentence was concluded, five shots flashed above the congregation's head and five bullets whistled over their ears, one striking the pgator. LINES SOUTH MUST GIVE NEWPORT NEWS RATES OF NORFOLK WASHINGTON, May 10.—The pres ent rate situation on the Southern. At lantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line and Norfolk and Western is discrimi natory and prejudicial to Newport News. Va., and favorable to Norfolk, was the ruling today by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the case brought by the Chamber of Commerce of Newport News. Under an arrangement by the de fendants prior to 1899. Newport News and Norfolk took equal freight rates to and from common points, but because of a disagteement as to divisions the Southern lines withdrew from the agreement, and since that time New port News rates have been higher than the Norfolk rates The Southern lines do not extend to Newport News, bur through connec tions participate in the Newport News traffic to and from the South and con trol the rates. The decision today holds that the Southern carriers can not es cape responsibility for this discrimina tion merely because their rails do not extend into Newport News, and that the latter city Is entitled to the same rates as Norfolk, Announcement The Price of Our Week-End Candy Has Advanced to 29c THE wholesale cost of all food products used in our Week-End Candy has been advancing steadily dur ing the past year; and our cost of making these candies has reached the point where we must either increase our price or reduce the quality.

FLA., May 10.— Roosevelt Republicans in Florida have started a fight to the finish against the Taft organization, now in control of the party machinery in this state. At the convention of the DuVal coun ty Republicans yesterday afternoon Chairman H. L. Anderson offered to pay the expenses of a state primary to be held on Saturday, June 1, to give the Republicans in the state an opportunity to express_ their choice for the presidency and to -elect national convention delegates and a new state executive committee. The offer was accepted and the primary will be ar ranged. Chairman Anderson addressed a com munication to Henry S. Chubb, of Gainesville, Taft leader in Florida and chairman of the Republican state exec utive committee, which is now recog nized by the national committee as “regular.” In this Anderson designated the Chubb organization as a “conspira cy” among officeholders of the state to exclude from participation in the par ty's affairs all Republicans except those holding Federal appointments. He fur ther charged that the Chubb organi zation plays in tn the hands of the Dem ocrats and that the delegates elected at the recent state convention at Palat ka “have not even the shadow of a party behind them."

Indigestion Easily Conquered Mi-O-Na Stomach Tablets Gently Coax the Gastric Juices to Do Their Duty. Belching of gas and sour food into the mouth means that the food in your stomach is fermenting and forming poisonous gases. It means more: it means that your stomach is bad; that it is not pour ing into and mixing with the food the gastric juices which are necessary to properly digest food. If this condition is allowed to con tinue. the stomach will become flabby and weak and the blood will become watery or impoverished. Davison-Paxon-Stokes Co.
