A SERIES OF RIOTS
Worst Day of the St. Louis
.Street-Car Strike.
DOZEN PERSONS WERE INJURED

tempts to Ran. Cars.
ST. LOUIS, May 21 In a rioting sense
today's developments were the worst ex
perienced since tho strike on the lines of
the St. Louis Transit Company was Inaug
urated over three weeks ago. The riot
ing was confined to the southern section
of tho city, and by nightfall the police
records showed that fully a dozen persons
had either received bullet wounds or been
hurt by flying missiles. Throe of those
hit by bullets received what are presum
ably mortal wounds, and that no one was
killed outright seems miraculous, consid
ering the great number of shots ex
changed in indiscriminate fashion on the
part of the employes of the company, the
strike sympathizers and the strikers them
selves. A list of today's casualties follows: Her
man Petschke, shot In the back, fatal;
John T. Rice, shot through the chest,
fatali R. Hi Stilson. Cleveland. O.. shot
through the chest, fatal; John McCalley,
shot In the left kneer Dolly Mitchell, shot
in the right arm; William Grannemann,
shot In the left leg; George E. Lacostan,
shot in the left arm; Albert "Wackwltz,
shot In the head; John Decker, shot in
the left thigh; Frank Yeager. shot in the
hand; Martin Burke, shot In the hip.
Two of the riots occurred on South
Broadway as a result of the attempt of
the Transit Company to run Its cars. The
first disturbance occurred at the lntereec
tion of Broadway and Miller streets. Bon
fires had been started during the night
and the tracks were found encumbered
with the debris by the crew of the first
car out. A blF crowd composed of men,
women .and cnlldren was gathered at the
corner, and they hooted and guyed the
crew a It 'attempted to "remove the ob
structions. Almost immediately shooting
commenced from the car. The crowd
scattered in every direction, and in the
greatest confusion. A school girl named
Dolly Mitchell screamed and fell to the
sidewalk. She -was borne to a place of
safety, and on examination It was found
that she was shot through the arm and
was not seriously hurt. William Granne
mann, who was standing some distance
from the scene of the shooting; was
etruck'ln the left knee, and seriously hurt.
James McCalley, who was also some dis
tance from the crowd -nhen the firing be
gan, received a ball in the left leg Just
above the knee. Both Grannemann's and
McCalley's injuries may necessitate the
amputation of their limbs.
The second riot occurred at the corner
of Broadway and Pestollzzl streets. At
the time a large crowd was gathered at
the alley through which the railroad
switch t6 the Anheuser-Busch brewery
runs. As a car passed the point the crowd
first commenced to jeer at the crew and
then began to pelfthe car n Ith rocks and
other missiles. As soon as the car was
thus assaulted, the firing began. In all
25 or 30 shots were fired. The crowd be
gan to run up the alley just as soon as
the firing started. Herman Petschke, a
boy employed in the bottling department
of tho brewery, was the first to fall -Kith
a bullet in the small of his back. His
spine is Injured, causing paralysis below
the point, of Injury, and his recovery Is
thought Impossible. A few moments later
George Lacostan, a man employed at the
brewery, and Albert Wackwltz, a painter,
fell to the ground, the former being hit
by a bullet m the arm, and the latter
receiving one in the head above the right
temple, jne ball ranging upward between
the scalp -and skull and passing out at the
top of the head. It Is the opinion of the
phjeiclan that neither man is seriouly In
jured. As soon as the trouble began a riot
coll was sent to the Chief of Police, and
25 men were hurried to the scene. Ed
ward J. Bresner, the conductor on the car.
was arrested and locked up, charged with
shooting- Peeichke. Bresner stated that
he had shot when the others in the car
comm2nced firing, after the crowd at
tacked the car. He said he did not know
whether he had h. any one or not. The
three wounded men denied that they had
taken any part in the attack on the car.
The w orst disturbance occurred near the
intersection of California avenue and Keo
kuk e.reet. In this affray a non-union
motorman and another cmploje on a car
of the Transit Company were probably
fatally shot. The battle, while It raged,
was fierce, and, In lew of the large num
ber of shcu. fired, estimated at 200, it is
jemarkable that there were not more In
jured. If there were, they were removed
before the police could get to the scene.
As the car approached the Intersection
named. Motorman R. H. Stilion, a man
Imported from Clei eland, O.. and Emer
gency Policeman Lofton, who were on
the front platform, saw that some ob
structions had been piled high, and that
the tracks were impassable.
A big crowd of people were gathered to
witness the removal of the obstructions.
They began to hoot and Jeer and to apply
epithets to the crew of the car, daring
any one to get off the car to remove the
obstructions from the track. As Stilson
started to step from the car his act'on
was the signal for firing to begin from
the crowd. Stilson threw up his hands
and fell to the front platform, with a bul
let through his body. In the fusillade that
followed, John T. Rice, a road agent
who was on the car. was shot down as he
got from his seat Irrlde, receiving a ball
through the chest. The police bod j guard
on the car opened fire on the mob. at least
2M shots In all being exchanged. The mob
scattered and ran down side streets to
get away. Officer Lofton said that when
the shooting began It seemed to him that
0 men had pistols pointed at the car.
and that each one of them was blazing
out fire.
A fourth riot took place at the Inter
section of Gra crs ' avenue and Victor
street, and during Its progress Martin
Burke, a striker, was shot In the left hip.
Elmer Slmpklns was acting as a guard on
a Cherokee line, and as it was passing
the corner Burke began calling those on
it vile names. Leaving the car, Slmpklrs
drew his revolver and ad anced on Burke.
Burke grappled with him, and In the
struggle for the possession of the weapon
two shots were fired, one taking effect In
Burke's hip. A crowd of strike sympa
thizers at ence surrounded Slmpklns and
gae him an unmerciful heating, which
might have terminated fatally had not a
detachment of police arrived on the ecene
at this juncture and rescued him.
At a late hour tonight It was learned
that John Decker and Frank Yeager were
both shot In the affray, near the An-heusr-Busch
brewery. The former was
shot In; the left thigh and the latter In
the left hand. Neither wound is serlcu&.

A DESPOTISM OF SEX.
The Tree Republic MBit Permit Its
Wobcb to Vote.
PORTLAND. May 2S. To the Editor.)
It has been repeatedly stated In your edi
torial columns that the right to vote Is
not a natural right. If by this Is meant
a right in a state of nature, the propo
sition. Is self-evident, for the ballot does
not exist among savages. If, however.
The Oregonlan means to deny that it is
a right based on abstract Justice, then 1
The Oregonlan Is attacking the basic prin
ciples of one- and of all republican govern
ments. A republican government is one
by, as well as for, the people, and the
people have no way of governing except
through the ballot.
It is not necessary for any class of men
to prove that the community will be
benefited by their exercising the right of
suffrage. This right Is withheld only from
that small fraction of the male popula
tion whose use of it, because of mental
or 'moral obliquity, would be positively
dangerous to society Imbeciles, lunatics,
criminals, and, hi some states, illiterates.
If the opponents of woman suffrage think
that women should be Included in these
dangerous classes from which society pro
tects Itself, then the burden of proof for
so startling a theory Is certainly with
them.
The right of suffrage is not given in
exchange for the protection of the state
by bearing arms, for it is not withheld
from the men who, by reason of age or
physical defects, are Incapacitated from
military Bervlce.
The statement that the family and not
the Individual Is the political unit of so
ciety is so obviously untrue that It hardly
seems worth answering. If such were the
case, there could be but one vote from
each family, and no roan could be Quali
fied to vote until he had founded a family.
Instead of receiving the privilege at the
age of 2L
The fact is that In spite of the broad
republican principles on which our Gov
ernment Is founded. It is, In practice, ex
cept In four states, an oligarchy based on
sex. Now an oligarchy Is a despotism.
It may be a benevolent despotism, and In
the present Instance, I am perfectly will
ing to call It so, but it remains a des
potism none the less.
The charge made roundly in an anti
suffrage address printed in full in yester
day's Oregonlan and Intimated more
guardedly in an editorial several days ago
-that woman suffrage Is akin to free
love and that those who advocate It aim
to break up the home Is too illogical and
too libelous to need serious refutation.
Abuse is not argument.
I have never been connected with any
.suffrage society. I have never before
written so much as a newspaper letter on
the subject. I am a wife and mother,
whose chief Interests He In the home cir
cle. Nevertheless I have for years had
strong convictions as to the abstract right
of the woman-suffrage movement, and,
being an optimist, I have perfect faith
that It Is bound to succeed everywhere
sooner or later. The force of inertia,
which we call conservatism. Is enormous,
and many years of educating public opin
ion may be necessary before the reform
is complete. The only cause for surprise
is that so much has- been accomplished
already.
I know many women In my own circle
of acquaintance, sensible women, woman
ly women, devoted wives and mothers.
who think as I do, but have never pub
licly expressed themselves. Perhaps pub
lic opinion Is already farther advanced
than we credit It with being, and If The
Oregonlan will undertake a house-to-house
canvass. It might have to retract Its state
ment that the majority of women do not
wish to receive the privilege and assume
the responsibility of suffrage.

M'COY QOT THE DECISION
A FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT AT TAT
TERS ALL'S "WAS TOE" RESULT.
Tommy Ryan Was Oatclaxned, Rat
Objected te Verdict Which Was
Set According: to Agreement.
TATTERSALL'S, Chicago, May 2S. Kll
McCoy was given the decision over Syra
cuse Tommy Ryan tonight at the end of
one of the prettiest six-round fights ever
h-seen here. But over tne decision and
what the referee, Malachy Hogan. claims
was a misapprehension, a free-for-all fight
resulted, and but for tho presence of a
large force of police, who hustled the men
out of the, ring and cleared the hall In a
hurry, it Is probable that the McCoy-Ryan
fight would not have been the most Inter
esting thing on the evening's programme.
LET THERE BE NO CHANGE IN THE CONSTITUTION
Vote
NO" on the Proposed Amendments; They Are
Not in the Line of Sound Public Policy.
155.
Municipal "Indebtedness Amendment: An Invita
tion to Public Extravagance.
Keep the counties of the state on a cash basis. The present
$5000 Constitutional provision was designed to enforce economy
and prudence in disbursing public moneys. Do not let down the
bars and open wide the opportunities and temptations for unneces
sary outlays of county funds.
Judicial Amendment: An Increase of the Public
Payroll.
If it is necessary to relieve the Supreme Court, it should be
done by decrease of the number of appealable causes. The remedy
lies with the Legislature.
Irrigation Amendment: An Invasion of Private
Property Rights.
The power to exercise the right of eminent domain is con
ferred upon any person who wishes to appropriate a stream or
other water supply on any pretext that it is necessary for "the
development of the natural resources of the state." The dangers
of such an extension of corporate and personal authority over the
lands and property of another are obvious.
Female Suffrage Amendment: A Gift to All Women,
Desired by Few Women.
Extension of the franchise will not benefit the state, nor im
prove the condition of women. They have no wrongs as a sex
that legislation or the ballot are needful to correct; no rights that
society and the state are not willing fully to protect No necessity
exists for Oregon to take rank in this species of "progress" with
Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. No other states, although
often importuned, have granted woman suffrage. A similar amend
ment in this state was defeated in 1884 by nearly three to one.

One clause of the agreement was that a
draw should be declared were both men
on their feet at the end of the sixth round.
Referee Hogan said after the contest that
he had no such understanding, and ren
dered a decision as he thought Just.
As the bell rang at the end of the sixth
round, Ryan, bleeding from ear and nose
from the Kid's nerce left Jabs, but com
paratively fresh, started toward his cor
ner. "McCoy wins!" shouted Referee Hogan.
In an instant the hall was a pandemonium.
"What do you mean?" asked Ryan, In
amazement.
Hogan said nothing, but climbed through
the ropes.
"You're a robber!" shouted Ryan. Hogan
turned around, and Just as he did so, Ryan
swung his left to Hogan's face. Quick as
a flash Hogan returned the compliment
with a blow on Tommy's nose. But be
fore they go further the police were be
tween them. The Tattersalls manage
ment admitted after the fight that tho
draw agreement was correct, but said Ho.
gan's decision would stand.
So far as the fight Is concerned, McCoy,
in the opinion of a large majority, had a
long shade the better of It. Ran carlea
the fight to his man continually, but the

elusive Kid was generally out of the way,
and his lightning jabs had Tommy bleed
ing slightly early in the fight. Ryan shook
the Kid up badly a number of times, how
ever, with right and left hooks to the
stomach and jaw, and was apparently
full- as fresh as his unmarked opponent
at the finish.
The two rivals for middle-weight honors
weighed In at Malachy Hogan's at 6
o'clock this afternoon. McCoy, with a
heavy undershirt on, barely tipped the
scale at the stipulated weight 15S pound.
Ryan, hover, did not budge it.. He prob
ably weighed about 154 pounds.
The first event on the card was scheduled
for S:30 P. M., but by 8 o'clock every seat
and available bit of 'standing-room was
occupied, and long lines of anxious sports
stood at the various entrances clamoring
for entrance. It was the biggest crowd
that has gathered in Tatters-all's In years.
Betting on the fight was not heavy. Mc
Coy was a hot favorite at 2 to 1, with but
little Ryan money In sight, even at these
figures. There was, however, consider
able money bet at the ringside that Syra
cuse Tommy wo'uld stay the six rounds.
It was 10:30 P. M. before McCoy, ai
tended by Billy Stlf t, Harry Harris. Homer
Selby and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, as
seconds, climbed through the ropes and
took the northwest corner cf the ring. A
few moments later Tommy Ryan, accom
panied by Harry Gllmore, Jack Jeffries
and Pat Earle, climbed Into the ring amid
a roar of cheers, arid walked over to uie
southeast corner. McCoy entered tno
ring with his hands heavily bandaged and
over Ryan's Insistence that the bandages
be removed, a wordy contest was waged
between the seconds. For nearly 10 mm

amid the hisses of the crowd and
ute;
shouts of "Take 'cm off," McCoy sat
silent In his corner, refusing to take the
tape from his hands. The articles allowed
soft bandages, but Ryan Insisted that the
tape on McCoy's hands was much harder
than allowable.
Finally George Slier and two members
of the pres were agreed upon by both
to settle tne dispute. "That tape Is all
right," said Siler. and Ryan In disgust
walked back to his corner.
The gloves were quickly donned, and
Referee Malachy Hogan called the men
to the center of the -ring for final Instruc
tions. It was apparent as the men slODd
listening to Hogan that both were in the
finest possible condition.
The FlRht "by Ronnda.
Round 1 Both sparred cautiously for a
moment, when the Kid swung to Ryan's

fell to the floor. Ryan rushed, but each
time received McCoy's left straight In the
face. Ryan, rushed and hooked his left to
the ear. but the clever Kid stopped it with
his shoulder. Ryan tried It again, the
blow glancing along McCoy's face. Mc
Coy then dashed In a hard left straight In
Tommy's eye, Ryan bringing his left
slightly to the mouth. Both were bleed
ing slightly la the mouth as they went to
their corners.
Round 3 Ryan rushed, but did no dam
age. Sparring cautiously for a few sec
onds. Rvan asraln rushed and put a hard
left to the ribs, receiving a hard right J
straight In the eye. Getting McCoy in a
neutral corner, Ryan tried a left hook,
but the Kid was well Inside. Rushing Mc
Coy in his corner, Ryan swung both right
and left, but McCoy's ever-ready left
found a lodging-place In Tommy's stom
ach. Tommy missed a right. An Instant
later McCoy swung a terrific left to
Ryan's face and dazed him. Ryan rushed
him. however, but received a hard right
in the face. The bell rang In the middle
of a fierce mlx-up In the center of the
ring.
Round 4 Ryan, as usual, assumed the
offensive, and, backing McCoy into his
own corner. landed his right on Tommys
chest, and in a fierce mlx-up in the cen
ter of the ring, threw hi? left to Tommy's
face. Again Ryan rushed, and In a mlx
up the Kid slipped to the floor, where he
stayed for a few seconds, smiling. Ryan
hooked a hard left to the Kid's Jaw.

a hard right and left to the ribs, receiv
ing two hard lefts in the face. McCoy
hooked his left to the stomach and face.
Rjan missed a left hook by a foot, and
received a left hook on the Jaw. which
sent his head around. Just as the bell
rang both exchanged lefts to the stomach.
This was Ryan's best round.
Round 5 Ryan blocked a left for tne
face. Ryan rushed, but the Kid clearly
e'aded him. Again Tommy rushed and
swung his right hard on the Kid's heart,
the Kid countering with a left on the ear.
Twice more Tommy rushed, the Kid easily
evading him. A fierce mlx-up followed. In
which Tommy's noe was split by a back
