GroTrd Score of Persons Are
'Wounded, One Fatally.
PAWTUCKET, R. I., June 12. Bayonets
In the hands of soldiers ordered out by
the Governor of the state to suppress
riotous disturbances glistened In the
streets of Pawtucket today. The aston
ishing Increase in the number of lawless
acts directed against the United Traction
Company, whose union men have been on
strike since VJune 2, and the Inability of
the limited police force and Deputy Sher
iffs to suppress rioting, induced Governor
Kimball to call out he militia. Numerous
scenes of disorder occurred during the
day, and more than a score of people were
Injured, one fatally. In the presence of
about 14,003 persons and the militia, this
evening, Adjutant-General Sackett read
the riot act. The city was taken posses
sion of by the militia. A provisional regi
ment -was formed, composed of companies
of the First and Second Regiments, with
the first battalion of cavalry. The regi
ment responded to an emergency call pro
mulgated by Governor Kimball and Brigadier-General
Herbert S. Tanner assumed
command. In the afternoon, orders were
Issued calling out the third division of
the Naval Reserve and the machine gun
battery.
The most serious disturbance today was
on the city line. A car was started from
the Pawtucket-avenue carhouse, on wWch
were a score of Deputy Sheriffs. At Paw
tucket and East avenues; a big crowd was
In waiting, and It was prepared to give the
deputies a warm reception. Major May
nard had the first battalion of cavalry as
a guard to the car, the troops being di
vided by platoons In the front and rear.
The Deputy Sheriffs were ordered to keep
their revolvers In their pockets by Major
Maynard, who said that if there was to
be any shooting the mllltla would do it.
Chief of Police Rice was present and
advised the people to disperse, and a num
ber of the striking conductors and motor
men practically endangered their own
safety by endeavoring to prevail on the
people to leave. Before the people turned
their attention to the car they cheered
the troops. Immediately after, however,
a heavy rain of stones, bricks and every
conceivable form of missile fell upon the
electric car. The troopers were hemmed
in by the mob, and with great difficulty
succeeded In working their way out, the
motorman of .the car facing the mob and
getting his car through.
When the turmoil was at its height
fully a dozen shots were fired from the
car through drawn curtains. One bullet
lodged In the neck of Venner Peterson,
aged 12, son of John Peterson, of this city.
The boy had been carrying dinner, and
was returning home when attracted by
the crowd. The shot struck him when he
was standing some distance from the car.
The shooting made the mob wild, and only
the presence of the troops prevented the
demolition of the car and serious Injurs
to the deputies. Major Sweet, surgeon of
the cavalry, examined the boy and pro
nounced' him fatally hurt. The boy was"
taken to the emergency hospital, where
it was announced tonight that he would
crowd, which, after the car had oroceeded. I
became more temperate. A Providence
passenger, Benjamin P. Bosworth, becom
ing alarmed at the shower of stones,
Jumped from the car, which was being
rushed through the mob, and sustained
serious injuries by falling.
The situation during the remainder of
the afternoon after the military officers
had Jurisdiction over the field, and had
mapped out plans of campaign, and the
proclamation of Governor Kimball had
been published, was such that General
Tanner determined to have all the soldiers
available. After consultation with the
Governor, It was decided to ask for all
of the available mllltla and additional
companies were called out. On the arrival
of these commands, there were 750 men
and CO officers on duty. After the militia
had been stoned In the morning, ball cart
ridges were served out, each private car
rying 40 rounds and each officer 50 rounds
of revolver ammunition.
William Welsh, a Deputy Sheriff, has
been arrested, charged with shooting the
Peterson boy. "When taking the prisoner
to the police station two policemen were
roughly handled, and were followed to the
door of the statlo'n by a mob that stoned
the officers and made great efforts to get
the prisoner from them. The man was
searched, and on him was found a re
volver with four cartridges In it. With
Welsh the police brought Adam Saunders,
a private of the Eleventh Heavy Artillery,
U. S. A., home on a furlough, who de
clares that he saw Welsh fire the shot
that hit the boy. Welsh maintains that
he did not shoot. The High Sheriff had
given orders to the deputies not to use
their revolvers, and not to fire under any
circumstances. Later, Welsh was ar
raigned before Judge Shoeve on a charge
of shootng with Intent to kill. He pleaded
not guilty, and was held in $1000 ball for
appearance. Because of the Inability of
the prisoner to furnish ball and the un
willingness of the police to permit him to
be carried through the streets, he remains
locked up at police headquarters.
There were no further serious disturb
ances during the afternoon, and every
thing was quiet tonight.
Street-Car Boycott.
FRANKLIN, Pa., June 12. As a result
of the street-car boycott, growing out of
the trouble between the Vanango Power
Company and Its employes, the street-car
employes, both In this city and In Oil City,
have been sworn in as deputy sheriffs by
Sheriff McCallum. Few people are riding.
Up to a late hour last night several hun
dred men lined the tracks on the principal
streets, hooting at the motormen and con
ductors and endeavoring to dissuade peo
ple from patronizing the line. Torpedoes
were placed on the tracks In many "places,
but no serious trouble arose from the
demonstration.
ARBITRATION AT CHICAGO.
Settlement of Tvro Lnbor Disputes
by Peaceful Means.
CHICAGO, June 12. Arbitration of labor
disputes has won two important victories
in Chicago. The teamsters have reached
an agreement with the tcamowners and
employers and after a long conference be
tween the officials and employers of the
City Railway Company, an arbitration
agreement has been reached. This ends
the last danger of a strike on the South
Side traction lines. Committees of the
Teamsters Union and of the teamowners
and employer met at the Great Northern
Hotel, talked over the arbitration plans
and adopted them. They were Incor
porated in a resolution, the vital portion
of which reads as follows:
"The contracting parties agree to sub
mit to the arbitration of this board all
differences between the contracting par
ties which do now or may arise during
the life of this agreement."
The agreement lasts one year from date.
It gives to the union a full recognition of
Us right to exist and treat with the em
ployers. It gives to the employer the
knowledge that there will be no sympa
thetic strikes during its life. These points,
the most vital In trades unions, have
rjever been incorporated into such an
agreement. The board is a representative
one and contains the business agents of
the unions and the heads of the largest
teaming interests concerned.
The traction agreement was the result
of a conference between the officers of the
South Division Union, CGO, of the Street
Railway Employes and General Manager
Robert McCulloch, of the Chicago City
Railway Company, at the latter's office.
For one year all disputes are to be set
tled by an arbitration board. There Is
to be another special arbitration commit
tee to piss on the question of reinstate
ment of discharged employes now out.
The company gives full recognition to the
union.
The officers of the United States Brew
ing Company have decided to accede to
the demands of the unions rather than
risk a sympathetic strike in their plants.
The 30 teamster helpers will get their $5
a week Increase, making their wages $12
instead of $7. This is to be paid half by
the firms and half by the teamsters.
VIOLENCE IX WYOMING VALLEY.
Union Officials Make an Effort to
Quiet the Men.
WIL.KESBARRE, Pa., June 12. Mine
workers' officials are making a strong
effort to have the strikers at Duryea and
vicinity prevent any violence. Several
men have been sent to talk to the striker.",
and this afternoon District President Nich
ols went himself to see what he can do.
It is likely .hat he will be able to put a
stop to the demonstrations that have been
going on there during this week. The
Wyoming Valley today was unusually
quiet. Neither the strike leaders nor the
mining superintendents had anything to
say beyond reporting the situation to be
without change. President Mitchell had
no message to give out regarding the soft
coal strike in West Virginia,
An attempt was made last night to kill
Superintendent Thomas Thomas, of the
colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany, at Old Forge, north of this city.
For four days crowds have been gathering
morning and evening on a hill which over
looks the colliery, and throwing stones at
the men at work within the enclosure.
The day and night superintendents are
taken to and from the colliery on a loco
motive. Last nlcht the night superintend
ent reached the colliery safely. A few
minutes later Superintendent Thomas
came out, and when about 300 yards from
the breaker, he says, men in ambush
opened fire on the locomotive. Fortunate
ly, the engine was traveling rapidly, and
it was soon out of range. The officials
say about 10 shots were fired.
Trial of Strike Leaders.
FAIRMOUNT, W. Va., June 12. The
trial of the strike leaders was the event

States Marshals are serving Injunction
papers on the remaining' leaders still In

promised them that recruits would be
forthcoming. There was some unrest
among the foreign element until noon to

The Minister of Finance, M. Rouvler,
Interposed, saying: "We Intend to make
economies In all the services."
M. Juares said he was pledged by the
government's promlss vigorously to en
force the law of associations, but he re
gretted that the powers of the clergy were
not further curtailed, and hoped that the
reduction of the period of military service
to two years would be the first step in the
formation of a mllltla system. He sug
gested that France take the glorious Initi
ative in disarmament. The question of
Alsace-Lorraine, he said, could not stand

CHINESE INDE3INITY.
Foreign Ministers Agree to the
American Proposal.
WASHINGTON, June 12. A cablegram
received by Secretary Hay from Minister
Conger at Pekin confirms the reported ac

ing action at'Toklo. The Ministers have

EUROPEANS HAVE NO SHOW.
American Millionaires Send Up the
Price of Paintings.
BERLIN, June 12. The art critic of the
Vosslsche Zeltung explains that the Amer
ican millionaires have sent up the prices
of paintings to such a point that European
collectors are now unable to compete with
them. The fact that pictures go to the
United States, says the critic, docs not
mean their loss to the world, as European
artists often assert, and many of the old
er American collectors often showed gen
uine appreciation and understanding of
art. Qulncy Shaw recognized the merit
of the Fontalnebleu school when its pic
tures could not be given away In Paris.
Mr. Shaw made a larger collection of the
paintings of that school than all the
French collections put together.
The critic of the Vosslsche Zeltung also
mentions Henry G. Marquand and Allan
Marquand. of New York, and Mrs. Gard
ner, of Boston, as discriminating picture
collectors. He deplores, however, the In
vasion of the art field of the younger
generation of American millionaires, who
he declares to be without real artistic ap
preciation, saying they make It possible
for picture-dealers to Increase the prices
of pictures tenfold and thUB shut out
European buyers.

Tvro Witnesses Tell Senate Commit
tee What They Saw.
WASHINGTON, June 12. Frank H. Ev
ans, of Des Moines,. la., formerly a Ser
geant of Company F, Thirty-second Vol
unteer Infantry, today testified before the
Senate committee on the Philippines con
cerning the administration of the water
cure to Filipinos on four different occa
sions during his service in the Islands. He
also related the particulars of the burning
of several native villages. He was ques
tioned by Senators Patterson, Beverldge
and McComas. All these events occurred,
.the witness said, during the year 1900, In
the Province of Batangas, Island of Lu
zon, and In or near the town of Orano.
where his' headquarters were. Three of
the cases of water cure occurred outside
the town. In one case the cure was ad
ministered by native scduts, and In the
f others by American soldiers.
The first case occurred at a little town
where there were supposed to be some In
surgents. The scouts picked outthe sus
pected people, and taking ono of'them to
a near-by creek, poured a quantity of wa
ter Into his mouth frcm a canteen.. The
purpose In this, as In other cases, was to
secure a confession. On another occasion,
during an expedition to neighboring Isl
ands, the witness said that he had an
American soldier take two suspected na
tives Into the water and duck them, hold
ing them under for perhaps half a minute
at a time. He secured a confession as to
the hiding of guns In one case, but none
In the other. After the first case of duck
ing the victim seemed, the witness said,
to have been quite disabled, being appar
ently so weak that he was unable to rise.
In another Instance of the administration
of the cure In Orano, a tooth of the victim
was knocked out, but so far as he knew
no other injury was Inflicted.
Mr. Evans said he had been present at
the burning of four or five native villages,
and that the destruction of these places
had been due to the presence of Insur
gents. The orders were to destroy all the
native huts along the coast near the
mountains for 10 miles In Bataan Province,
so as to force the natives to ccme in, and
this, he said, was done.
Replying to questions by Senator Bever
ldge, the witness said the orders to the
troops were to treat the natives humanely,
and that with the exceptions noted their
treatment had been in accordance with
these Instructions. The natives had not,
on the other hand, shown any apprecia
tion of this consideration. They refused
to divulge Information in their possession,
and in many cases they subjected the
American troops to indignities. In one
case, he said, where two soldiers were
killed, their ears were cut off. .
Edward Norton, of Los Angeles, a late
private In Company L, Eighteenth United
States Infantry, was the witness at the
afternoon session. He served two years In
the Philippines. Answering questions by
Senator Culberson, Mr. Norton stated that,
"except in Isolated cases, the treatment
accorded the natives by United States sol
diers was humane, and all that could be
expected or desired." In the Isolated cases
referred to, he said, the treatment was
not consistent with humanity and the laws
of war. He then related frcm hearsay the
story of the administration of the water
cure to the Vice-Presldente of San Miguel
and a native policeman, and described one
occasion where he had assisted In "water
curing" a native. The man's mouth, he
said, was forced open with a stick and the
water poured down his throat. The effect
of the treatment was temporary strangu
lation. In this particular case, he said,
the native, after receiving the cure, de
livered up a number of rifles and pistols.
It was the practice. In marching through
villages, the witness related, "When
flred upon by natives. Immediately to burn
their houses." He said the Filipinos re
garded the kindness of the troops towards
them as a weakness and became bold in
consequence; also that the general under
standing In the Army was that the gen
eral policy of General Hughes was one of
humanity and kindness. He took Issue
with Senator Culberson on the subject of
burning villages, and declared It to be a
military necessity.
The committee then adjourned subject
to the call of the chairman.
