Special Cable—Copyright.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 4.—Noon.—Eight
policemen were killed this morning In
s clash between the striking workmen
of this city. The conflict was at the
railway station. It waa the moat se
rious of several fights that have oc-
cu £yed during the night and morning.
The government la greatly worried
today over the report that four mu
tinous warships are cruising In the
vicinity of Cronstadt, ready at a mo
ment’s notice to attack the fortifica
tions and the city. So serious Is the
situation at Cronstadt today that he
■ sd In the
een post-
Situatlon la Critical.
The rank and file of Bailor* and sol
dlere at the fort are extremely ugly,
unit are conatantly threatening to re
new the .riots. There Is no denying
that the local altuatlon grows more
critical hourly. The city was In dark
ness during the night, because of the
strike of the electrlb light workers.
Some sailors of the technical corpa
were placed In charge of the electric
lightning ayatem this morning, but they
"ere not able to get the machinery
wo.klns before daylight.
Workmen Are Afraid.
As this dispatch Is being sent, the
•r.nouncement I* being made that the
Voisa shipping Interests are to be lied
up during the afternoon. The tele
graph operators and telephone em
ployees are still at work, but each of-
n-’e Is under a heavy guard of soldiers
and the employe** have been threaten
'd with arrest should they quit their
P'area.
As a matter of fact the government
>' practicing a system of Intimidation
'verywhere, and while the present
•trike la the moet serious of any In
stituted to date and seems to be better
org&nlaed. It Is noticeable that many
"orklngman are afraid to Join the
niovement
It la the hope of the strike leaders
>o get out the steam railway employees
today, but the plan may fall, as tb*
tnvn are only half-hearted.
The street car* hava stopped run-
mng. but this does not make much dif
ference, as nobody wants to ride. Moet
°t 'he shops are closed and business
■* at a standstill, mostly owing to the
•trike, but partly because of the Sat
urday holiday.
Whole Battalion Revolted.
There was a riot In the Nljlnl Nov
gorod district today. A couple of sol
diers had been locked up for Insubordi
nation. Their comrades took exception
to the action and a whole battalion

WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT HOME AND ABROAD THE PAST WEEK A8 8EEN BY OUR CARTOONIST.
NEW MEAT-ORDINANCE
AN EPOCH MAKING MOVE
Will home-raised mast eventually
supplant Western meat In Atlanta? Is
an Important question being pondered
over by those who have Interested
themselves In the Investigation of local
conditions started by The Georgian.
The belief Is that to a great extent
It will when the people of Atlanta and
the surrounding country secure com
plete confidence In the cleanliness of
the handling of meats In this city
after January 1 of next year.
Over half the battle for pure, whole
some meqt has already been won, aa
the rigid ordinance, drawn up by City
Attorney Mayaon after a thorough In
vestigation by the special committee,
was approved by the’ committee and
the members of the board of health at
eetlng Friday afternoon. Thera
seems to be no doubt that It will be
passed by the city council.
The effect of the ordinance will be to
Insure for the cHlsens of Atlanta good
meats, slaughtered and handled
throughout In the moet sanitary and
up-to-date methods now known.-
The ordinance will also greatly help
the' cattle buelneaa In the state of
Georgia. When people of the city are
nasured that domestic meats are
handled In manner superior to that or
the Western product, they will buy It
preference to the shipped commodity.
?hlef Jentzen slid Saturday:
’The finest cattle 1 have ever seen
were some we ran across In our In-
enaction trip Thursday afternoon.
These were raised In Georgia and Ten
nessee. There was not a blemish on
them and there la no reason why there
should be any Western meats sold In
this city when such animals can be
raised In this section of the country.

Many people prefer home-grown meat

Meat Inspector A. Waaeer stated that
on an average two hundred animals
were slaughtered dally In Atlanta. This
Is only a small proportion nf the meat
consumed In the city, so that then. Is
plenty of room foi
business.

dent C. F. Benson, of the board of
health, nnd Chief Jentzen. all stated
that In their opinions the present
movement Is the greatest and the moat
beneficial that has over been taken u L
by the city council and the board of
health.
Chlaf Jentzen enld: "Ths enthusl
asm over the strict meat laws have
haa spread like wildfire. Every one
In the city Is anxious to see the ordl
nance passed nnd In effect
At the meeting nf the committee FrI
day It was derided not to discuss what
had been seen by the Investigating
party as all present but Dr. Benson
nad made tho tour and he had visited
the slaughter house on Severn! occas
ions. Whan Chairman Taylor asked
the members of the rommlttee wheth

elr hands In horror, so to speak, and
declared that they had about aa much
as they could stand on the previous
‘ ty.
Councilman MoEarhern asked what
effect the ordinance would have on tho
farmers, and whether or not It would
work a hardship. It was the general
opinion that Instead of It Injuring them
rohlbltlng animals to be sin
on the farms It would help them
In the long run, aa the price of slaugh
tering at th# licensed houses would be
lated by law at a nominal figure,
was decided to have the ordinance
printed and to hold a Joint meeting of
the special commits* and the board of
health prior to the adoption.

As the result of a daring attempt of
state convicts Friday at midnight to
escape from the camp of the Palmer
Brick Company In Marietta street, near
the Explsotlon Cotton Mills, Jim
Hargrove, a negro serving rt life term
for the murder of Night Watchman
Milton Harwell, In tho Western and
Atlantic railroad yards more than a
year ngo, was shot and almost Instantly
killed by Guard Oliver Jones.
During the melee, Willis Harris, an
other negro, doing a 20-year term, from
Cobb county, for nssnult with Intent
to murder, ran from the prison build
ing. leaped over the stockade fence and
mndo good Ills escape. He Is still at

The timely arrival of reinforcements
prevented a wholesale delivery, h* a
gang of other excited convicts was
surging about the entrance In the act
of boltIpg when they were compelled to
back Into the prison at the point of
pistols.
An Organized Attempt.
While tho convicts maintain a sullen
silence In regard to the attempted
break, tho officials of tho brick com
pany believe It was the climax to an
organized plot. It Is the opinion that
tbe gang of convicts had been laying
their plans for some time and had only
been awaiting a favorablo opportunity
to put them Into effect. It was finally
derided. It seems, to mnko the hazard
ous attempt at the hour of midnight
Friday, this time being considered the
moat favorable for a wholesale deliv
ery.
Fifty-two convicts were confined at
the camp and at night were quartered
In a big brick prison building. There
fire ii<» rells In tbH building, but tha
convicts nr»* allowed to run loose and
mingle, which afforded them splendid
opportunity to form their plans for
escape and to make a concerted break.
