Attack on the Teamsters
. . Prom Windows.
CHICAGO, May 3. The first shooting
today occurred at Franklin and Madison
streets. A caravan manned by colored
drivers and. guards -jvas attacked by a
Ig crowd .when the negroes opened fire.
Harry Williams and Fred Smith, white
men. seated on a wagon nearby, narrow
ly escaped death. A bullet passed through
wniiams' coat and another through
Smith's hat.
Fierce rioting attended a. caravan of
coal wagons sent out by the Employers
Teaming Company from a stable in Ar
mour avenue. The trouble started in
Franklin street, near Harrison. Walter
Bchuitz, a strike sympathizer, hooted the
nonunion drivers and was knocked down
and badly beaten by two colored guards.
The negroes, with their heavy hickory
clubs, hammered him almost into Insensi
bility, but were in turn obliged to fight
their way for a mile through crowds of
white drivers and sympathizers. Volleys
of stones were -thrown and many of the
colored men riding in the wagons were
injured.
At Madison street a big jam of teams
stopped the caravan, and for. 10 minutes
a battle raged at the corner. The col
ored men in the wagons jdrew revolvers
and fired a dozen shots Police finally
broke the blockade of teams and enabled
the caravan, with the strikebreakers to
sain egress east In Madison street. The
fighting continued in Madison street all
the way to Michigan avenue. Near the
Montgomery Ward store the crowd gath
ered where an old building is being torn
down and pelted the nonunion drivers
with bricks and other missiles. The
strikebreakers again fired.
Walter Martin. who was in the crowd,
received a wound in the leg. Two of the
nonunion drivers wore arrested, charged
with the shooting. George Wright, one
ft the nonunion teamsters, -was struck by
a stone and his car cut off.
"Riot Seen From Hotels.
Riotous scenes this afternoon were wit
nessed by hundreds of persons from win
dows In the Great Northern and Majestic
Hotels. The cause was the delivery of
coal from -wagons at the Majestic Hotel.
The wagon? on leaving the hotel under
heavy guard were followed by excited
thousands, upon whom the example of
the clubbing Incidents had -no effect. Hoot
ing and yelling defiance at the wagon
men, the pursuers followed to Madison
street. Missiles of every sort seemed to
be in the air, and women luckless enough
to be in. -the streets made for the safetv
afforded by the shops. The coal wagons
were brought to a halt In front of Mc
VJdker' Theater. F. K. Buckmlnster.
a private detective, who furnished the
escort, together with many of his men.
were attacked and beaten. The attack
became so fierce that the guards, were
forced -to seek refuge in a nearby building-
;
When, finally under redoubled police
convoy the colored teamsters reached
Michigan avenue, the "caravan encountered
the funeral of Hon. Thomas Gahan. the
late Democratic National Committeeman
for Illinois. TJio driver of the leading
carriage- In the cortege saw his opportun
ity and cut the caravan of eight coal
wagons. He was abused by a colored
teamster for this and retaliated by giving
the negro a stinging slash across the
face with his whip. . Simultaneously a
boy was' beaten by a detective. The
crowd enraged, closed in on the caravan
again and a running fight ensued for
several blocks through the crowded shop
ping districts.
Police arriving In many patrol wagons,
as the result of the riot calls, charged
the mob. and scores of innocent persons
wero struck by the clubs in the hands
of the police. Colored men. armed with
clubs and canes, used their weapons re
gardless, and many Innocent persons were
struck. .
Drives 'With Shot in Shoulder.
While driving a coal wagon at Frank
lin and Madison streets today. Joseph
Scott, a nonunion colored teamster, was
shot Jn .the shoulder. Notwithstanding
his wound, street" conditions were obvi
ously too dangerous for Scott to leave his
wagon until he had reached the Randolph-Street
Viaduct, nearly a mile from
where he was shot. The negro as then
taken to a police station.
Bullets, mutilation and robbery were
recorded on the West Side last night as
one outcome of the strike, which has
left the police In that section of the city
unable to cope with criminals. Crime also
was reported from xtther quarters. More
than a half dozen persons were'held up,
and there were several burglaries.
PLANS OF STRIKE GENERALS
Unions Propose Co-Opcratlve Scheme
and Levy Assessment.
CHICAGO. May 3. Has Jl.OOO.OW
been offered to found a -operative
cartage company? Is a question which
was discussed by some of the labor
union officials today. The story is to the
effect that four Chicago men of large
means have . been in consultation with
uijlon officials and have offered to estab
lish a co-operative cartage company, the
stock of which would be offered to union
teamsters. This plan, It is held, would
minimize the probability of strikes.
Representatives of the striking team
sters have voted for a measure which
promises more strength to the striking
drivers. At a meeting of the joint coun
cil a fund of $15,000 was pledged by the
treasurers of the different affiliated
unions, and an assessment voted upon
which. If llyed up to., will mean an in
come to the strikers of 130.000 a week.
The weekly assessment Is to be fur
nished by the Individual drivers through
out the city who are at present employed
Bach man Is to be assessed U a week, and
the number of men still employed Is in
the neighborhood of $30,000.

the coal teamsters union except In sup
port of sa "sister" organization of team
sters, after the present contracts have

sympathetic strike has been entered Into

HIS WIFE RAN SMALL DAIRY
Officers Unite In Condemning Sur
render and Declare Their Com
mander Was Too Busy Mak
lng Money to Fight.
SPECIAL CAB.L.K.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 4.-The testi
mony before the courtmartial which Is
trying General Stocsel for the .surrender
of Port Arthur, and which is meeting
behind closed doors, has so far been of
a most sensational character, and has
reflected on the Integrity of the man -who
has already been decorated by Emperor
William of Germany for bravery.
All the subordinate officers who served
at Port Arthur, who have given evidence
so far. unite in declaring that the strong
hold could have held out for -many
weeks and also allege that th'e general
devoted himself more to .the "sale of
foodstuffs" than! to encouraging his men
In fighting the enemy.
One officer testified that he paid General
Stoessel 16 for a turkey which he wanted
to cat.
Another testified that Mrs. Stocssel, the
General's wife, owned tO cows., which
were well fed. despite the fact that sol
diers were on short rations. The milk
from the cows was disposed of by Madame
Stocssel at a uniform price -of 50 cents
per bottle.
The only witness, who has admitted .that
he considered affairs in Port Arthur des
perate was Colonel Rciss, who command
ed one of the positions on the Tiger's
Tail.
Friends of Stocssel declare that the evi
dence so far given came Xroro tne mouths
of men who were prejudiced against the
former commander -of Port Arthur be
cause he failed to recommend them for
decorations at" the hand of the 'Czar.
FRENCH SUPPLY RUSSIAN FLEET
Only Bluff at Neutrality Maintained
in Cochin China.
SPECIAL CABLE.
HONG KONG. May 2. It Is learned
from a reliable source that the steamers
Eva, Dagmarand Boutbon. under charter
by the Russian government, have been
plying between Saigon and the Russian
Baltic fleet, carrying to the latter full
cargoes of flour, rice, lard, fish, vegetal
bles. meats and enormous quantities of
brandy and wine. The latter has been
withdrawn as a sop to tlfe neutrality reg
ulations, but the two former vessels are
still engaged In the work.
After the Bourbon hau ceased her trips,
she was held up by the French transports
in the Saigon River and a-crew of French
marines placed aboard to "compel her to
cease her trips," The two. vessels which
arc still in the service were allowed to
go on their way unmolested.
A number of French transport steamers
are cruising off the coast oj French Coch
in China, ostensibly engaged In safeguard.
Ing France's neutrality.
It Is reported that American and Gcr- '
man correspondents at Shanghai have
chartered the steamer Wuchang for the
purpose of witnessing the coming tight.
The Wuchang files the French flag, but
is believed to be owned by Russia, and
It Is thought that her real mission will
be not so much to see a naval battle as
to locate Togo's fleet for Rojestvensky's J
information.
CAN'T FIND WIRELESS STATION
China .Suspects Russia Made Charge I

AMOY. China. May 3. The provincial
and military officials- have finished an
examination of this vicinity under orde'rg
from Pekln to see if the charge of the
Russian Consul at Foo Chow that the
Japanese have a wireless station here to
communicate with Formosa Is true. The
officials say that they have found noth
ing to show that ther Is a wireless sta
tion in this neighborhood. It is consid
ered probable, however, that a secret sta
tion may have been established on an
outlying island.
The Japanese claim that the Russian
charge was made to secure -privileges
here for vcMoli of Admiral Rojestven
sky's squadron.
JAPAN WANTS TO KNOW FACTS?

PARIS. May Notwithstanding de
nials. It appears that -the Japanese -officials
are carefully observing the continued,
presence of vessels of Admiral Rojestven
sky's "squadron off the Indo-Chlna" coas.
and are seeking information from the
French authorities concerning the nature,
and duration of their stay.
The membsrs of the Legation have ad
dressed several Inquiries to the Foreign
Office asking particularly whether the
ships were inside French waters. The re
ply given was that all tbe vessels of the
Russian 'squadron have left French wat
ers. These Inquiries appear to Indicate
the purpose of the Japanese' to submit
further representations or- lay grounds for
subsequent action. " '

The Admiralty -officials vigorously deny
any Intention of sending the protected

ROSY VIEW FOR ROJESTVENSKY
Russian Naval Expert Tells Reasons
for His Confidence.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 4. (2:30 A.
M.) Captain von Essen, the hero of
Port Arthur, and one of the ablest of
Russian naval officers, discussing- with
the Associated Press the coming naval
battle in the Far East, took a rosy
view of Rojestvensky's prospects, and
asserted that h'e had a great advan
tage In many respects over the original
Port Arthur squadron.
Captain von Essen declared that the
engagement between Togo" and Ror
jestvehsky was bound to be at long
range. He smiles at the -idea that the
Japanese might be able to disorganize
or damage' the Russian squadron by
tocpedo attacks." pointing out the im
potency of such tactics after the first
surprise at Port Arthur.
"Take the matter of telescopic sights,
for instance." said the Captain, "which
are almost indispensable in engage
ments at the extreme range now used.
The Port Arthur fleet was without
.them, and wasjinable to obtain .the
sights on account of .the cutting of
communications, while Rojestvensky's
guns are nil equipped. Furthermore, w
know that Togos ships were severely
pounded In the battle or August 10.
Without taking Into consideration the
unavoidable depreciation, and the fact
that, though repaired. It was far from
being' good before the battle, the ord
nance of the Japanese ships suffered es
pecially, and. though some 'of the 12
Inch guns may have been replaced, it
is impossible 'that all can have been
renewed. Some of the smaller guns on
the ships actually -went to pieces dur
ing the engagement. After the battle
we found a large plec of the muzzle
of a Japanese 13-centlmetcr gun on
board tne Sevastopol. . The Japanese,
however, were able to renew their sec
ondary armament, -having a plant ca
pable of building such guns.
"The battle will be decided by the
12-lnch guns." continued the Captain.
"But may not Togo elect to conduct
a harassing warfare with his torpedo
boats, in the hope" of sinking one of the
Russian shlpsT was asked.
"One of the lessons of the present
war." replied Captain von Essen. "Is
the ability of warships to defend them
selves against torpedo attacks during
naval, engagements. After the opening
.surprises.' the Japanese torpedo-boat
flotilla accomplished practically noth
ing until the last act of . the naval
drama, the torpedoing of the Sevas
topol before .the surrender, of Port
Arthur'., and then. It took five nights
of continuous attacks under the most
favorable weather conditions snow
squalls, etc to get one of the hun
dreds of torpedoes home against a
stationary ship."
Captain von Essert commented on the
high state of efficiency to which Ad
miral Rojestvensky has brought his
squadron during the long months of
the voyage eastward, and said that the
results of target practice with the big
guns corroborated the opinion of Brit
ish critics that the marksmanship of
the Russians would be apt to surprise
the Japanese. He discussed1 the pos
sibility that Rojestvensky will not In
corporate NebogatofTs ships In his
fighting squadron, but will leave them
to cover the transports, but he frankly
declared that he was ignorant of Ad
miral Rojestvensky's intention on this
as well as on other points In the pres
ent situation In which the Admiral Is
keeping his own' counsel. " ' '
A Japanese letfer captured In Manchuria-
contains"" indication that the
Japanese have naval bases In the north
at the port of Sominato and in the
south at the port of Mekohna, one of
