The clash- was unexpected. More than 20,000 operatives met at the rail road station to welcome 700 memberrs of the Industrial Workers of the World who had come from Boston to partici pate In a parade to the graves of Anna Loplzzo and John ilamay. who were killed in the strike riots last January. After the visitors had detrained an impromptu parade started, turning finally into Essex street, the main business thoroughfare. The parade was informal and no application had been made for a parade permit. The police, notified that the operative were marching, attempted to end the demon stratlon. Police Halt Panders. . -A squad of 25 officers was sent to Itesex and Lawrence streets, where theythrew a line across Essex street and awaited the procession. Two large banners were carried by the marchers. One was inscribed: "The only justice; the freedom for Ettor and Glovannitti. The other bore the words, "Police and Wllitla." and below, "Who Killed Anna and John?" When the head of the parade reached the line of officers It halted and an argument began. The police notified the marchers that they must disperse because they had no permit. Those in the front rank were endeavoring to fall back, when suddenly the marchers In the rear pressed forward and the mlllworkers tried to pass the police. They struck right and left at the of ficers, who responded by swinging their clubs. Many paraders were, knocked to the ground. Off Ire Beaten 'With Own CI aba. In some instances the marchers robbed the officers of their clubs and began to beat the police. The latter were forced to retreat Into Lawrenc street. It "was here that Tesca was seised by officers. Angered by the ar rest of their leader, the crowd made 1 rush for the officers. The police ap peered to be fighting to hold the pris oner, but a moment or two later Tesca was at liberty. In the fight two Ital ians, Sebastlano de Mano and Vitto Loncasterta, were arrested and taken to the stationhouse. As they were be ing taken through the door of the sta tion a ahet was heard. It appeared to have been fired by someone in the crowd, but the operatives cried out that the police were shooting. Later the crowd was driven through Lawrence street and to the common, where the paraders dispersed. Two Policemen Stabbed. After the excitement was over. Po liceman McCarthy discovered that he had been cut on the head with gome blunt Instrument, and also had received a slight stab wound behind the ear. Another policeman received two slight stab wounds in the back. The widely-heralded demonstration of the afternoon, the parade in honor of Anna Loplzzo and John Ramy, brought out about 8000 marchers. This parade was orderly throughout. Many women were among- the marchers. Some led children by the hand, and others car ried Infants in their arms. Many na tionalities were represented. It had been planned to march to the cemetery where the two riot victims are burled and place flowers on their graves, but this was not done. Tresca. who acted as chief marshal, said the flowers would be taken to the cemetery tomorrow. International Aid Asked. The following telegram was sent to night to Paris, France, by the Franco Belgian branch of the Industrial Work ers: "General strike begun. Monster demonstration. Caruso, Ettor, Glovan nitti. We count on International aid. Spread news everywhere. "LANGLET." Langlet is one of the Franco-Belgian leaders.

DISAFFECTION IS GENERAL Placing of Defeated Republican As pirants for State Representa tive on Progressive Ticket Is Source of Disapproval. With, tbe.'smoke of battle cleared away, a survey of the scene of the en gagement and the net results of Satur day's Bull Moose county convention discloses -many sore spots and count less disappointments among "patriots" who sought places on the ticket. But it was not the small army of office seekers alone that was disappoinVsd. Those who opposed a county ticket from the beginning do not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction with sev eral of tie candidates that were se lected. On the other hand, those who cham pioned a full ticket and insisted on the nomination of only progressives men of unquestioned identification and loyalty to the cause are loudest in voicing their disapproval of some of the nominations. This faction Included nearly a score of eleventh-hour con verts to the new party, most of whom were unsuccessful candlates for nomi nation to office in the Republican pri maries last April. They wanted nomi nations, and, although a few landed, those not so successful are sore and admit it. Defeated Get Places. Two days before the convention met, the Vleaders" save out. the impression that the first business of the conven tion would be the adoption of a reso lution declaring against .the nomina tion of any candidate who was defeat ed, in either the Republican or Demo cratic primaries. But the subject was not mentioned when the convention gathered. As a result, two such, de feated candidates were given places on the Legislative ticket. These nominees were Edwin G. Amme and Oliver M. Hickey, for State Representatives. Both were defeated for the same nom ination in the April primary election as Republican candidates. Mr. Amme was a Republican member of the House of Representatives at the 1911 session and sought renomination in the primaries. Friends of Charles W. Ackerson do not feel that he received the "square deal" that was to be expected at the hands of a Bull Moose convention. Mr. (Concluded on Page 2.) ...a.. .... .. . . - ... - : ...... .......

GOVERNOR'S MEN CONFIDENT Candidacy of Dowling Adds to Interest at Syracuse. LITTLE DEMOCRATS WAIT Tamany Chieftain May Not Insist on Governor's Renomination II He Finds Opposition to Be General in State. SYRACUSE, K Y., Sept. 29. William J. Bryan may be appealed to by the op oonents of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, to leaa tne ngni against the renomination of Governor Dix, at the Democratic state conven tion, which meets Tuesday. Some of the anti-Murphy leaders who reached here tonight held a conference at which this proposition was discussed. It was said that with Mr. Bryan on'-the ground a general campaign would be started, not only to defeat Governor Dix for renomination, but to overthrow the leadership of Mr. Murphy in this state. The anti-Murphy leaaers were not at all certain, however, that Mr. Bryan could be prevailed upon to take part in a state fight. Wilson Men. Oppose Dlz. Those opposing Mr. Murphy who are interested in the announcement made in New York last night by United States Senator O'Gorman that Justice Dowling, of the Supreme Court, would be placed in nomination by friends of Governor Wilson, who are understood to look with disfavor on the ' nomination of Governor Dix. Friends of Governor Dix declared tonight, however, that they were confident as ever that he would head the ticket. , The arrival late tonight of Murphy was eagerly awaited by delegates who were anxions to obtain some-expres sion of opinion of the Tammany leader on the proposition of nominating Jus tice Dowling, who years ago was Mr. Murphy's legal and political adviser. Murphy May Desert Governor. Friends of Mr. Murphy who reached here today said he was not seeking to force the renomination of Governor Dix. but felt that the Governor had given the state a good administration and was entitled to a renomination. Those men said, however, that if the Tammany leader felt the opposition to Governor Dix' renomination was -gen eral he would withdraw his support of the Governor.

The improvement of Sandy boulevard between East Thirty-seventh and East Thirty-eighth streets will be the sub Ject for consideration at the meeting of the Rossmere-HancocK-htreei im provement Club tomorrow night at the office of the lumber Company, corner Sandy boulevard and East Thirty-sev enth street. The club insists on pav ing this block and not waiting for the erection of a viaduct over tne u.-w. t. & N. Company's track, as proposed. H. S. Adams, secretary of the club, said yesterday that the omission of this block in the improvement at tnis time will cause a great hardship on all who use the Sandy boulevard, as when the rainy season sets in the street will be nearly Impassable at this crossing. 'Erection of a viaduct is a matter for future consideration," said Mr. Ad ams, "but -we will not stand for delay In the improvement of -this DlocK at tne crossing. We shall ask the manager of the paving company, which has the contract for paving the street, to at tend the meeting Tuesday night and tell what he proposes to do about this part of the improvement. We under stand the contract calls- for the im provement - of the entire street, and neither contractor nor City Engineer has the right to leave out any block." POLK PRUNE CROP GOOD Quality Better Than Last and Yield Is Almost as Heavy. DALLAS. Or., Sept. 29. (Special.) The prune-crop of Polk County has been harvested and an Investigation re veals the fact that the yield this year was not as small as was expected. The average shortage this year was about 20 per cent lower than that of last year. To make up for this de crease in the yield, the quality is far superior to that of any year previous. The rains of August practically did no damage at all. Many buyers are In the market now, offering from 6 to 7 cents a pound for the dried fruit. However, very lew sales have, as yet, been made, owing to the confidence of the growers that the price will go ilgher. In many sections or tne. state wnere prunes are grown, the rains of August damaged the crop to a great extent, and in other places the yield this year ran from 40 to 50 per cent below mat of last year. Growers here feel that this situation will compel a nigner prices for the product, especially so when the crop last year brought a higher price.

Paroled Seattle Assay Office Thief Caught COUNTERFEITING PLOT BARED White7Haifed "Pal" Says He Is to Blame for Wrong. MEN VIRTUALLY CONFESS Federal Agents Arrest George Ad ams, Aged 38, In Cabin With John Webber, Aged 70 Bogus Money Tools Are Seized. .- SEATTLE, Wash.. Sept 29. (Spe cial.) George Edward Adams, 38 yean old, paroled looter of the Seattle Gov ernment Assay Office, and John G. Webber, 70, ex-convlct and counterfeit er, were arrested today In a little cabin three miles northeast of Kent, by Federal Secret Service Operatives Thomas Foster and W. A. Glover, and are lodged in the city jail. A com plaint will be sworn out today by Foster charging them with conspiring to engage in counterfeiting. The arrest followed a surveillance of the cabin by Glover for the last three weeks. Webber Is Watched. When Webber was released August 9, 30 days ahead of time, from McNeil Island, wrhere he had been serving an eight-year term for counterfeiting. Op erative Foster, knowing him to be an inveterate counterfeiter, sent Glover out to find him. Glover, after some difficulty, found him in the cabin near Kent, which ho had leased for a year. He posed as a herb doctor and assayer in the neighborhood. The cabin was so sit uated as to command a view of the road both ways. After watching Webber for a week. Glover, to his surprise found that Webber was- in communication with Adams, who has been working as a bookeeper for an automobile company at $150 a month. Cabin la Entered. This morning Glover concluded that Webber had had sufficient time to have manufactured some coins and in company with Foster approached from the rear the cabin In which Adams and Webber were in conference. As the cabin had windows on every side except the rear, they had to approach with great stealth, climbing over the palings of an unused chicken house and becoming entangled in mesh of barb wire and netting. By placing their ears against the back of the frame cabin they were enabled to hear enougb to justify their Immediate entrance. Adams and Webber were placed un der arrest and a thorough search made of the premises. A complete outfit of counterfeiting tools with the exception of moulds was found. In Webber's purse were three new silver dollars and a new 35 gold piece, carefully wrapped in papers. One of the dollars had been coppered on one side as if in a preliminary experiment. "Livestock" la Mentioned. Letters addressed to George J. Fer- now, signed Fidalgo, were also found in Webber's pockets. These letters were written on a typewriter upon pa per exactly like that used by the mo tor car company. The headings, which bore the firm's name, had been torn off. In the letters many allusions were made to livestock, of which there was no evidence around the cabin. The cor- correspondent had evidently asked for' some nem. dollars, as one letter stated - that the writer could not obtain any shiners," but would send him some money so that he could get them him self. Webber was cautioned to go slow with the money, as "it don't grow on trees like cherries." He was advised to use the money in purchase of "live stock," and certain kinds of "cattle," which Foster believes to mean counter feiting tools were mentioned. Guilt Virtually Admitted. In one letter the writer apologized for his briefness, but said that he would see him In person. It was daed few days before the arrest was made. After the arrest both Adams and Webber made what practically amount ed to confessions to Foster and Glover. Adams told Foster that he made the acquaintance of Webber at McNeil Island. The white-haired. old man, who was acting as a trusty at the penni tentiary, did several favors for Adams when he first a'rrlved, and they be came fast friends. On his release he .borrowed some money from Adams, and then broached the subject of engaging in counterfeit ing. Adams said that he remonstrated with him, but that Webber replied that he was an old man and could make his living in no other way. Finally he , persuaded Adams that he could manu facture the coins without detection. and. with Adams supplying the money. Webber rented the cabin and bought the outfit. Chance Taken for Son. When Foster spoke about Adams' 4-year-old boy, the tears welled into Adams' eyes. 'It was for him I took the chance," (Concluded on Page 3.) Concluded on Pa & Marienbad.
