A NEW ORLEANS RIOT ONE POLICEMAN FATALLY HURT AND MANY SERIOUSLY IN JURED IN STREET CAR STRIKE. Effort to Operate a Car Failed and v No Further Attempts Will Be Made Until Troops Are Present. New Orleans, Oct. 8. The first attempt to run cars from the Canal street barn, which was made at lo o'clock this morning, resulted in a serious riot, in which Policeman Schlessinger was shot through the head and probably fatally wound ed; Conductor Kennedy was shot in the hand; Motorman Ferguson, a striker, was shot through the arm and a number of policemen were painfully wounded by nying mis sels. The first car which started from the barns was in charge of Motor man Fred Nintz, of Chicago, and Conductor M. L. Kennedy. There was on board a large force of po licemen, and Peter Johnson and, Alfred Clark, who arrived here last night from Chicago with a force of 3o men to take the places of the strikers. A large crowd was on the street, members of the mob rushed out, tore up' planking from either side of the street and threw it a cross the track. Then bricks and stones flew through the air. Ob structions brought the car to a standstill, and a rush was made for the nonunion men on board. There was such a hail of missies that the police and others on board had to stoop to save themselves. As the car stopped, a number of policemen jumped on in an attempt to press back the strikers. Imme diately a shot was fired. Then a perfect fusillade of shots came from both sides, and the car was envel oped in smoke. In the meantime R. D. Kountz, a young man from Luray, Va., who was on the car, ran out and attempted to clear the track of the planks and debris. He was pelted with bricks and stones, but was perfectly cool; and had pretty well cleared the track when the mob descended on him and ov erwhelmed him. Clark and Johnson fell from the car and was terribly beaten before the police could fight off the mob and rescue them. Police reinforcements were rushed to ihe scene, and after a long struggle the space immedi ately around the car was cleared. Motormau Nintz is charged with having fired the first shot. Orders for his -arrest have been issued. Af ter the rioting, the car was run back to the barn; and it is now said that no further efforts to operate cars will be made until the troops are on the scene. The mayor is endeav oiibg to reach Governor Heard. All of the nonunion" men who were on the car attacked today were armed, and all of them are said to have used their weapons during the attack. Alexander Derbs a la borer and bystander, was shot in the leg during the rioting. It is said warrants ;will be sworn out in the Federal court against many of the men who participated in the rioting yesterday, on the ground that the service of the mail cars was interrupted. Secret service agents from Washington are report ed to be here and co-operating with the local police officers. One hundred, and twenty mem bers of the poliae force guarded the barns of the railroad company dur ing the night. It was feared that some attempt might be made to fire them. ,v A number of men who were all from Chicago are reported to havfr been captured by the strikers and to have deserted to the union. San Francisco, Oct. 8. The gun boat Bogota, the vessel of the Co lombia government, which has been fitting out here for some time past, sailed for southern waters yesterday afternoon. She has an all-American crew, and both officers and men have "pasts" in which fighting has been the dominating character istics. Her officers have been train ed in the science of modern warfare, and her sailors nearly all hold dis charges from the United States na vy. Trie Bogota's cre,w i about 4o. Twelve of her sailors were with Dewey at Manila, and several of them should now be serving Uncle Sam on the battle ship Oregon. In the Bogota's crew are three gradu ates of the United States school of gunnery. Tbe Bogota before sailing, mount ed a 14-pounder in her bows. She has four rapid fire six-pounders on her quarter deck, two Maxim-Nor- denfeits amidships and two Col automatic field guns mounted on her superstructure. "We're Americans, every one of us," was one sailor's farewell mes sage. "We would not be much credit to a Sunday school, and some of us could not get jobs in banks, but we can lick any bunch of our weight and numbers in white, and all the "niggers" Central America .can stack up against us. We'll get 'the Padilla." A Typical South African Store. O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays Riverr, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the near est railway station and about twenty-five miles irom the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamber lain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doc tor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the population is perhaps six ty. Of these, within the past i2 months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by Graham & Wells. At Monroe. The new $1500 school house be ing erected here is almost complet ed. ' Painting began on it Saturday. The new sturucture is a hand some two room affair with a large basement, and is quite an improve ment over the old shack which has done duty for thirty years. Prob-ab!y-when thi3 is ready for U6e. the district will not be compelled to beg for applications for a teacher, as has been done in the past. Prune picking was completed in the McElroy orchard Saturday. The yield is about one-third the av erage crop, but the quality was first class. L. F. Watkins is moving on to the Jolly farm near Bellfountain. Sid Y. Evans is moving his fam ily from Eugene back to the farm. Mr. Downing and family are moving to the McElroy place. Rev. J. H. Skidmore is moving his effects to Monroe. The new residince is about completed. , Miss Minnie Pfauts is in Eugene. Miss Corlie Starr has secured a school in north Benton county for the winter. M. M. Waltz- and family, and Wilbur Starr and family, are so journing a Nye Creek. Maria Howard will have, a cot tage erected on her recent purchase west of town. J. H. Starr and wife are down from Eugene on a visit. NewOrleans, Oct. 7. Niolence started with the first attempt of the railway company ,to carry out the order of the mayor to run its cars today. Just before 7 o'clock the company star ten out three cars from the barns on Canal street. On each car, manned by a nonun ion motorman, there was a police force. Crowds of etrikers and sym pathizcrp were on the streets. When the cars reached Miro the tracks were blockaded, and when they came to a stop the crowd made an attack. A pistol shot was fired and the nonunion man attacked. One of them, a conductor from Chi cago, was badly beaten. . When the rioting spent itself 3 cars were left standing upon the track guarded by policemen. All the windows were smashed. The mob captured the conductor and his motorman and both consented to join the anion. Some of the po licemen were hurt by flying stones. When news of the rioting reached the City hall the mayor issued a call for a meeting of the police board. It is understood that the object is te swear in emergency po licemen. Governor Heard will or der out the militia when he i3 noti fied by Mayor Capdeville that the situation is beyond his control. IN CORVALLIS COLLEGE CLASS GIYES FOUNTAIN TO THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, The Football Team Is Lighter but Faster Men Hard at Work for Places on First Team New Pastor Bilis Allowed, The unveiling of a fountain on the college grounds will be an in cident of next Wednesdav's dedica tion exercises at the college. The fountain is to be located about 40 leet eastward 01 tbe snot where the main walk forks at the east en trance to the college campus. It is the gift to the college of the members of the class of 1902, and is to. be a monument of their gradua tion. There are a dozen or more of the members of the class in town, and it is expected that a much larg er number will be present and at tend the unveiling. Ihe fountain is the figure of a female, pouring water from a pitch er into an urn. When it strikes the urn-the water flies off into a circular spray. Around the base are 33 small jets that play when the fountain is in operation. The figure stands six feet, two inches high, and it is to ba placed onte. base 10 feet in diameter. The fig ure is of metal, enamelled whiata It weighs 450 pounds, and, its list cost with base was $350. Football Men . It looks now as though O. A. C would put out a formidable foot ball team this season. After sev eral years of inocuous desuetude in such matters there seems a revival out on the hill of interest in the game. Every evening from four to half past five or six from 30 to 40 young men 01 bulging muscle and hefty avoirdupois-line up against each other on the gridiron and work conclusions at a large outlay of exertion. So far, there are but two old O. A. C. men on the team. These are Burnough at center and Captain Gault, who plays now at tackle. All the rest, barring such as played more or less on last year's team, have yet their spurs to win. As a whole, the team is scarcely so heavy as O. A. C. usually turns out. Coach Herald expects, how ever, to educate them to make up in fastness of play whatever they may lack in avordupois. As to the new men, it is not yet determined which of them will take places on the first team. Pilkington at tack le plays a formidable game, and it is practically understood that he is certain to be chosen for that posi tion. Root, a big man from East ern Oregon, who gets over the field like a 11-second man and Wil liams who played the position last year, are candidates with fair show of success for halves. Abram and Bowers seem in a fair way to play guard and Nash is playing a good game at full. As to the other po sitions, for all of which there is ,a bundant material, but little can be guessed ' This afternoon on O. A. C. field, the men will line up for an exhi bition practice game, where those who wish to know more of condi tions can have opportunity to see for themselves. The play will, un doubtedly be interesting, as the men who willj play in the sec ond team will put up a strong de fense of their goal, and possibly do more. New Pastor Rev. John Reeves, wife and young daughter, arrived Monday from Winchester, Ken tucky, and now occupy the parsonage of the M E church, South., -Rev. Reeves is the new pastor of the local church of the Southern Methodist denomination, appointed to the place at the recent meeting of. Columbia conference. Rev. Reeves is a preacher of fine reputation and ability, . according to the statement of Bishop Duncan, who presided at the recent confer ence. . He was born in St. Louis, Missouri, 53 years ago. His litera ry education was obtained at Cin cinnati, Ohio. He was called to the ministry in the M E church, South, in I87T', and has been a member of the Kentucky confer ence for 31 years. In his experience Rev. Reeves has served in every capacity known to a minister of the Methodist de nomination, save as a delegate to the generals conference. He has been 1 in every position from a mountain mission to presiding el der of the leading district in the state, and secretary of the confer ence. Mr. Reeves said yesterday that he had come to the west to identify himself with the work on this coast, and to become one of its people. Rev. Reeves occupies his new pulpit for the first time tomorrow morning at 11, and will preach a gain in the evening at 7:30. New York, Oct. 5. The "Ameri can's proofs of theexistenceofa local trust and petition for the prosecu tion of the combination under the Sherman anti-trust law are todav before President Roosevelt and Attorney-General Knox. Mr. Knox lately reported to the president that he could find no ev idence against the coal roads as a trust to bring them within the scop 1 of the Sherman law. "The "American" now supplies the proof from documentary evi dence. The Industrial Commissioners' report, filed this year, after investi gation of the trusts, expressed the belief that only an illegal combina tion f tbe coal roads existed. The "American" is able to put into the government's hands the actual facta of the combination a formation and unlawful operations. The very sig natures of the officers of the com panies in the coal trust to an agree ment made for the illegal purpose of monopolizing the anthracite trade are a part of the evidence. It is then shown that these com panies, prior to 1901, mined and sold 70 per cent, of the supply and individual operators the remainder. The railway, then by agreement, charged as freight 40 per cent, of the f. o. b. price of coal at tidewater. Application was made to the New York State Railroad Commission ets for a charter for the D .-la ware Valley and Kingston Railroad, to run fron Kingston, on the Hudson river, to Lackawanna, and connect ing with the railroad owned by the Pennsylvania Coal Company, which has branches throughout the Wy oming coal field. This new road would' have broken the control of the railroad trust over freight rates. The railroads in the coal combine took' steps to throttle this competi tor. The Temple Iron Company was a Pennsylvania corporation that operated furnaces at Reading, Pa. It had nothing to do with coal min ing. The coal roads bought con trol of the company's stock. It had a capital stock issue of $24o,ooo. These railroad companies executed and signed an agreement with one another and bad the Guaranty Trust Company of New York to guanantee the stocks and bonds of the following companies: Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, Centrel Railioad of New Jersey, Reading Company, Lehigh Valley Railroad (Jompany, New York, Susquehanna and Western. Railroad Company. The purpose of this increase of capital was to buy up the principal independent coal mine operators who were behind the new rival rail road scheme. The "The "American" will also prove, for the sake of furnishing concrete act3 of the trusts in viola- ' tion of the Sherman anti-trust law. " that in March, i901, a meeting of the Iron lempie Company's direc tors was held, at which it was a greed to maintain a uniform price for coal mined in Pennsylvania, transported from Pennsylvania to New York and sold within the state of New York, during the month of April, 1901, the price per ton to be: Grate, $4; egg, $4.25; stove, $4.50, and chestnut, $4.50. Coal was sold, according to this agreement, throughout the month of April. 19ol. Theee prices were higher than would have prevailed but foi the excellence of the combinatioi described, and higher than in tht year previous. Like action, takei. in April of this year, is also shown.
