Will Be Held Today.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26. After a day
of almost unbroken tranquility several
email riots broke out In Kensington late
today, when young? men attacked cars
Tun by nonunion men. In one of the af
frays passengers were attacked by strike
sympathizers. A motorman was dragged
from his car and badly beaten and sev
eral policemen were roughly handled, but
no one seriously Injured.
The most serious affair occurred at 6
o'clock at Front street and Susquehanna
avenue. The crowd got beyond control
of the Philadelphia police force and
stopped a car at the Intersection of the
(gyeets. The crowd tried to reach the
n-unlon crew, and though the line po
liceman who was protecting the crew
fought bravely, several men dragged him
into the street. His revolver was taken
from him and he was given a severe beat
ing. Tne conductor managed to get away,
but the motorman was. not so fortu
nate. He fired several shots, but all went
wild, and he was pulled from the car and
beaten.
Guns Are Xot Drawn.
Other policemen waded into the mob,
but, reluctant to draw their revolvers
because of the women and children caught
In the crowd, fought with their clubs.
"Here come the state cops," some one
called, and there was a movement to
break away.
A half dozen mounted police galloped
up and charged into the crowds. They
drove upon the sidewalk, smashed right
end left with their hickory sticks ana
gradually forced the mob back. Men,
women and children were treated alike.
No revolvers were drawn by the troop
ers, but they made good use of their riot
sticks, and the rioters, realizing the
troopers were not to be trifled with, soon
were on the run.
In the fight a woman passenger, Mrs.
J. C. Ehler, was struck with a brick
and rendered unconscious. Walter Gra
ham, another passenger, who tried to
carry her from the car, was attacked by
the mob and roughly handled, but man
aged to carry the woman Into a drug
store. The first trouble in the negro section
occurred today, when a crowd threw
missiles at cars. Policemen quickly
scattered the crowd.
Murphy's Threats Cause Arrest.
The arrest and arraignment of John
J. Murphy, president of the Central
Labor Union, on a charge of inciting to
riot, and the disorders noted, marked
the eighth day of the strike.
Whether a strike of all organized
labor In Philadelphia will be declared
next week probably will be decided at
tomorrow's meeting of the Central La
bor Union.
The arrest of Murphy has added to
the uneasiness In labor circles. The
warrant for Murphy's arrest was Issued
by direction of Director of Public Safe
ty Clay following the publication In
the afternoon papers of the following
statement, said to have been made by
Murphy:
"You can depend on It, that by Sun
day's meeting a general strike will be
called. If one man is shot in Kensing
ton there will follow a carnival of riot
and bloodshed which will startle the
entire country.
"I should not care to be responsible
for such an outbreak. The State' Police
would be helpless; I want it understood
that there are men in the Northeast
who can shoot as straight as any troop
er who ever drew breath.- just wait a
little while for developments and you
will see something which will open
your eyes."
Murphy denied that he had made such
a statement for publication. He says
he merely expressed an opinion as to
what might develop if the strike con
tinued. Unlike Pratt, who was denied ball
when arrested on a similar charge a
few days ago, Murphy was permitted
to enter bail before a friendly magis
trate for his hearing today .

HOGS CAUSE PANIC
All Chicago Records Broken in
Scramble to Buy.
CHOICE BID UP TO $9.80
Receipts of Only 10,0 00 Head, Ieas
Than Half Average Day, Cause
Frenzy Among Buyers Next
Week Will Open at $10.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26. (Special.) All
Chicago market price records went by
the board today when choice shipping
hogs soared to $9.80 In a mad bidding
war at the stock-yards. In which spec
ulators' ana packers buyers tumbled
over each other in an effort to buy up
the whole supply. Men In their shirt
sleeves, regardless of the weather,
rushed anywhere and everywhere In
the fight to secure even one carload.
The announcement that receipts were
not more than 10,000 head only served
to fan to a frenzy the eagerness to get
on the market before the expected rise
above $10 next week. With a "carry
over" of 6000, the total supply at the
yards was less than half an average
day's receipts.
Mixed hogs sold at $9.70. the highest
ever chronicled for this class.
Unless receipts are above 30,000, and
this is regarded as impossible, hogs
are expected to open at $10 Monday.
There was a wild rush to get every
carload. Packers are far under the
number needed for packing purposes.
Packers said the February supply
had been sold In January and the farm
ers' supplies usually looked for to fill
In March shipments from the Far West
had all come in February. A near
panic followed this statement and the
packers in their eagerness to obtain
stock for packing fought a battle of
prices with speculators who were
anxious to get hogs against the ex
pected rise to $10 and above next
week.

Man In Lonely Cabin Saved From
Freezing to Death.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26. Weak and
famished, suffering from illness and
starvation, Henry Grasteo, 68 years old,
livdng alone in the clubhouse of the
Montauk Fishing Club, at Sand Bay,
Canarsie, was rescued by Mrs. Margaret

and biting snow that covered the city
On Friday night.
The fishing club is occupied by many
members in the Summer time, but Mr.
Grasteo Is the only one who lives there
the year round. For a long time he has
been taking his meals regularly in
Watson's chophouse in .Canarsie. Last
Monday he failed to appear for rils
usual meals and when he had not ap
peared up to Friday-night, Mrs. Watson,
knowing how the man lived, decided he
must be ill.
Though It Is a long walk from the
restaurant to the fishing club, Mrs.
Watson walked the distance with the
snow and wind buffeting her around.
Getting no answers to repeated knocks
and hearing a low moan from within,
Mrs. Watson entered and found Mr.
Grasteo nearly dead, with all the avail
able coverings on his bed to keep him
warm. There was no food or medicine
in the house.
Mrs. Watson summoned Dr. Henry
Esterbrook, of Flatbush avenue, who
had the man removed to St. John's Hos
pital, where it is thought he will die.
ABERDEEN PLANS ROAD
LINE TO RUN FROM SOUND TO
GRAYS HARBOR.
C. C. Quackenbush Secures Right of
Way and Enlists New York
Capital In Project.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 26. (Spe
cial.) Cutting down the distance be-,
tween Aberdeen and Seattle 46 miles and
reducing the running time now taken by
trains by at least two hours, plans for
an lnterurban railway between the two
cities were announced today.
C. C. Quackenbush, President of the
City Council of this city, who heads the
project, let the cat out of the bag when
he stated his Intention of appearing be
fore the meeting of the associated com
mercial organizations whose representa
tives meet tomorrow afternoon here to
consider the pending application of the
Grays Harbor lnterurban Company for a
franchise for the use of county roads for
right of way and ask the business men
to defer final action on all lnterurban
matters for 30 days so that ho may put
his proposal In concrete form.
Associated with Mr. Quackenbush is
W. B. Sammons, an engineer, and the
two have been working on the plan ' for
several months. The road will start
from a point on Puget Sound, near Seat
tle, and run almost an- air line to Elma
and from there to Aberdeen. Gas or
electric engines will be used. Seventy
per cent of the right of way has already
been secured and is In all cases private.
The road can be built on a 1 per cent
grade. The company Is preparing to place
three parties of engineers in the field.
With, local capital will be New York
money to the extent of $1,500,000. A
fund for preliminary work amounting to
$35,000 has already been raised. The
company will probably be known as "The
Western Washington Railway & Naviga
tion Company," although this detail has
not yet been settled. Aberdeen will be
the headquarters of the road and all
operating and other business will be
conducted from this city.

Urged Public Schools Not to
Use State Text Books.
INTENSE FEELING AROUSED
Teachers In Rural Communities Are
Subject to Grave Indignities Be
cause of Message Sent Out
by Church Official.
RHEIMS, France, Feb. 26. The text
of the Judgment rendered by the civil
tribunal against Cardinal Ludovlg
Lucon, archbishop of Rhelms, who was
condemned to pay $100 damages to the
Public School Teachers' Association for
having signed an episcopal letter for
bidding the use by Catholic students of
certain public school text books, was
published today.
The decision declares every com
plaint of the teachers- to have been
Justified and says that In some isolat
ed communes where religious Intoler
ance approaches fanaticism, the episco
pal letter aroused such hate against
the public school teachers as to cause
them to be subjected to veritable bru
tality. The court cites an Instance where an
attempt was made to starve a woman
teacher, and another case where gar
bage was thrown Into the well from
which the school obtained its water
supply.
The Judgment asserts that the letter
failed of the sympathy of many priests
and of some bishops. In conclusion the
judgment explains the wide publicity
given the litigation has afforded the
teachers the moral satisfaction demand
ed, and that as Cardinal Lucon's high
character freed him from the imputa
tion that his action had been inspired
by base motives, material damages of
$100 only were assessed.

Labor Omnia Vincit
Labor Conquers All Things.
In our new booklet entitled. "Alveolar
Dentistry," a treatise on the teeth and
dentistry generally and more particu
larly the Alveolar method which will
be ready for distribution about April 1.
We wlli reproduce in its entirety an
article on the cause, treatment and cure
of Pyorrhea (loose teeth), which will
edify both the public as well as the
dental profession. The article has just
been published in Items of Interest, one
of the leading dental journals, (Jan.,
1910, issue). While we do not accuse
nor do we believe that the author. Dr.
Hutchinson, plagiarized or even knew
of our articles, which were published
three year's agro, his article in substance
is almost verbatim a reproduction of
the ones written by me in serial then,
with some additions, deductions and
changes of technical terms. Some of
these articles were published by us in
the dally press of this city last Sum
mer. They show and we are confirmed
In our claim by one of the most emi
nent scientists and dental savants in
the world, that Pyorrhea Is curable and
wll stay cured. We can also show
hundreds of cases absolutely cured by
us years ago and they are still well.
The disease positively will not recur
If treated properly. Many of these peo
ple we will refer you to are among
the very best known people of this citv
and state. Remember, please, that while
our specialty Is the great Alveolar
method of replacing missing teeth
without resorting to those unsanitary
makeshifts, the antiquated bridgework
and partial plates, and the curing of
Fyorrhea (loose teeth), we are experts
n every branch of dentistry, from the
simple filling up, and what we do
you may rest assured will be the verv
highest of high class. If you cannot
call, send for our booklet on Alveolar
dentistry. It Is free.
