PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23. Lead
ers of the striking platform men of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany admit today their cause has re
ceived a serious blow In the arrival
here of four companies of the state
constabulary, with militia in readi
ness to reinforce them if necessary.
The appearance of the constabulary
did not overawe the strikers, how
ever. With the resumption of street
car service this morning on the larg
est scale Bince the opening of the
strike, rioting broke out. A car in
West Philadelphia was stoned, but
the rioters were charged and dis
persed by the police guard and
several of their number were seri
ously injured.
Some of the constabulary Ib now
stationed around the carbarns, while
the remainder is on guard in the
Kensington district, where the Fen
clbles were humiliated by the strik
ers two days ago. Rumors are In
circulation today that every union
employe in the city will strike before
night in sympathy with the transit
workers. Both sides admit that a
grave crisis Is approaching. Busi
ness Is seriously affected.
The city high schools, attended
by pupils from all sections of the
city, are located near the Industrial
plants. So as not to endanger the
lives of children who would be forced
to ride on the cars, the board of edu
cation decided not to open the two
schools for girls this week.
far Company Firm.
Late today the Rapid Transit
Company Issued a statement in which
It 1b said "that the strikers cannot
and will not win." In part the
statement follows:
"There is no possibility of this
company dealing on any basis with
the men who have engineered the
events of the last three days.
"The men who have stood by us
and the new men who come to us
may be sure we will stand by them
"There will be no settlement
which includes taking back the men
who have led and encouraged mob
violence."
Since the strike began the transit
company, it is estimated, has lost
over $100,000 worth of property and
$300,000 worth of bualness. Three
persons have been killed. 37 5 In
jured and over 400 arrests made.
Heavy Sentences Given.
The heavy hand of the law pressed
hard today on some of the men and
boys who had been arrested for riot
ing. Elwood Carr, alleged to have
been a ringleader In a riot In the
Kensington district, was sentenced
to six years In the county jail. John
Kline was given two years and Ellis
Atkins a similar sentence. A 17
year-old boy was sent to the Hunt
lngton Reformatory for 13 months
for throwing missies at the car, an
other boys and me were sentenced
to two or three months each.

NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS
SUNDAY ON APRIL SITU.
Announcement of a national tuber
culosis Sunduy to be held on April
24tm in 210,000 churches of the
United States was made today by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Following campaigns against con
sumption that have been carried on
n the churches of hundreds of cities,
and sermons on tuberculosis that
have been preached before thousands
of congregations during the past
year, a movement has been started
to establish a permanent tuberculosis
Sunday, on which It Is hoped that
every one of the 33,000,000 church
goers in the United States will hear
the gospel of health. It is planned
to enlist the active co-operation of
anti-tuberculosis organizations, labor
unions, fraternal organizations, and
other bodies together - with the
hurches In the movement. The aid
of leading churchmen of the prin
cipal denominations has already been
offered. All of the large interde
nominational bodies, such as the
Young Men's Christian Association
the Young Women's Christian Asso
ciation, the King's Daughters and
Sons, and the various young people's
societies are also in sympathy with
the anti-tuberculosis campaign.
It is planned that on April 24th
tuberculosis sermons shall be
preached In all the churcheB of the
country. Literature will be ais
tributed to members of the congrega
Hons, and in every way an effort will
be made to teach that tuberculosis
is a dangerous disease and that it
can be nrevented and cured.
Clerirvmen who desire to ooiain
additional Information in regard to
tuberculosis will be able to secure
iiiomtiire from state and local anti
tuberculosis associations and boards
of health, as well as from the Na
tional Association.

Evangelist Reed chose as his text,
"He Ye Therefore Heady, In Such an
Hour as Ye Think Not the Son of

ABOUT $75 15 CASH STOLEN
$6500 WOrlu Ol SoleS and RlYOlVer
Also Takcn--Tbleves Escape'
Leaving do Cine
Using nitro-glycerlne and black
powder, burglars at an early hour
this morning blew open the safe in
Rice Brothers' hardware and gro
cery store at Myrtle Creek. They
secured between $75 and $100 in
cash and escaped, leaving not the
slightest clew to either their Identity
or whereabouts.
The burglars also carried away
several thousand dollars worth .of
noteB, but these are of no value to
them. From the hardware depart
ment they took a rifle and a revolver
and holster. In their flight they
dropped the rifle In the yard to the
rear of the store. The revolver,
which they kept, Is of 38 calibre, of
Smith & Wesson make, blue in color
and bears no number.
In their operations the burglarB
drilled a hole In the top of the safe
and poured In the explosive. Into
thlB a fuse was placed and then ig
nited. The explosion not only re.
duced the safe to fragments, but in
flicted heavy damage to furniture
aud stock around It. . Near the
wrecked Bufe was found a small
quantity of black powder in a bottle
which the crackBinen had left be
bind.
A large number of the townspeo
ple were awakened by the explosion,
which set tire to the floor of the
store. The blaze waB seen by a pass
erby, who promptly notified one of
the proprietors, living a short diB
tance away. Lltle headway was
made by the flameB before they were
extinguished, so the damage In that
partloular was Insignificant,
Of the quantity of stolen notes,
one alone is for $4000. The re
mainder represent amounts aggre
gating a total of about $2500. Be
lief as to the Identity of the cracks

and officers In towns along the rail
road lines have been notified to be
on the watch for suspicious charac

That the burglars may have had
designs on the bank at Myrtle Creek
Is Indicated by Information contained
In a telephone message to Sheriff
Fenton'B office today from S. W
Bayless, his deputy at that place
Bayless Btated that the street door
of the bank had been forced open
during the night. No attempt had
been made, however, to tamper with
the vault.
The rifle found In the yard hack
of Rice Brothers' store was loaded
and cocked. This circumstance
seems to prove that two men did the
Job. one standing guard with the
rifle outside the store, while his
