e
Columbus, Aug. 18. For re-
fusing to protect cars of the
traction company from strllc-
era, 82 policemen were suspend-
ed today. Their vacancies were
filled at once, over 100 civilians
volunteering to be sworn In as
patrolemen. 4
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 18. There
was persistent rioting last night in
connection with the street car strike.
A mutiny In the police department,
due to the refusal of one-fourth of
the night force to ride on cars as
Mayor Marshall ordered, reduced the
number so that not all cars could be
manned. Stone throwers lay in wait
for cars without guards and pelted
the crews unmercifully. A score of
car men were Injured.
There was not much shooting last
night but the trouble makers were
more rough, dragging crews from
their car In several instances.
The police are seeking John F.
Brady, leuder of imported car men,
on a charge of shooting two women
and a child In front of their homes.
One of the two occupants of an au
tomoblle ordered two men on the side
walk to their homes. As his machine
started he began to fire a revolver
at random.
Mrs. Katherlne Kelley was shot n
the knee and her daughter, Helen, 10
years old, in the shoulder. Mrs.
Charles Hart, a neighbor, was shot
In the right thigh. The shooter es
caped. Twnty-three persons were Injured
during the night and there were 17
arrests.
Thirty-five Out.
Thirty-five out of 140 members of
the night police force rebelled when
called upon by Mayor Marshall to
board street cars in an effort to catch
persons attacking cars with, stones,
bricks and bullets. The mutineers,
Mayor Marshall announced, will be
dismissed from the force.
The mayor .called upon the regular
policemen to assume the duty on
cars. One hundred and thirty-seven
special policemen, engaged especially
for riot duty in connectln with the
strike, were not drawn on for this
service, as they were assigned to
places where trouble was expected.
Included in the 85 who refused to
board the cars are some of the old
est men on the force.
Until yesterday Mayor Marshall had
withstood pressure brought to bear
by officials of the Columbus Railway
& Light company to put officers on
cars. City officials and members of
the chamber of commerce Joined In
urging the mayor to take this Btep
and " he consented, although he said
he did not favor the plan.
Within a few hours this change of
police . became known to the police,
and there was widespread dissatisfac
tion. This reached a culmination at
roll call last evening, but the mayor
began to make assignments and those
In rebellion stepped out of the ranks.
There was little 111 feeling express
ed, although one policeman took off
his coat and asked the mayor to don
that and then board a car.
As reason for their mutiny, some
said they had been warned by grocers
and butchers that If thehy rode on
cars they would be refused provisions.
Others said they had belonged to
unions and others that they might
wish to Join at some future time.
After being told that If they refus
ed to obey the new orders, they would
be dismissed, two officers who had
at first rebelled, stepped back then

Crane of Massachusetts, has succeed
ed Secretary Hitchcock as political
adviser of President Taft is reported
today following a report that Speaker
Cannon will be eliminated from the
high republican councils along with

forced to retire, that Aldrlch has been
snubbed and that Cannon will not be
defended, and attribute these thlncs
largely to the Influence of Charles
Norton, secretnry to the president.
That Taft practically snubbed Ald

and it is said Norton's influence was

formalitv of his visit which amounted
to real chilliness, caused him to !

SECRETARY BALLINGER
SPEAKS ENCOURAGINGLY
Government Will Not Withdraw From
lie -11 in Favor of Private Concern
If Project If Undertaken Settlers
May Have to Make Higher Initial
Payment and Will Have Lees Time.
Returning from Portland this mor
ning Dr. C. J. Smith brought encouraging-
news In regard to the proposed
extension of the Umatilla project. In
Portland Dr. Smith, Congressman
Ellis and others from this city met
with Secretary Ballinger and . discuss
ed the extension at considerable
length.
"Secretary Ballinger Informed us,"
said Dr. Smith this morning, "that
the fate of the extension is now vir
tually with the board of army engi
neers. The members of that board
are now in Wyoming and are to meet
with Secretary Ballinger In Seattle
August 30. Either between now and
that date or immediately afterwards
Z1 m .! th T7mtI11. nrotect
they will visit the Umatilla project
and go over the land that will be under j
the extension if it is made. After the
army board has visited the project rt
will soon be known, so the secretary
says, whether the extension will be
made or not."
According to IJr. Smith the secre
tary made further statements to the
committee that were very encourag
ing. He declared that despite the re
peal of section nine of the reclamation
act Oregon will not suffer at the hands
of the reclamation service. It Is the
intention of the government to see
that this state gets Its full quota of
reclamation money. This statement
the committee construed as virtually
meaning that the Umatilla extension
win be made provided the army engi
neers look with favor upon the en
gineering features of the scheme.
In the discussion of the subject Sec
retary Ballinger Intimated that should
the extension be made the govern
ment may not grant settlers ten years
time in which to pay for their water.
On the other hand they may be re-1
quired to pay one-third the price of
reclamation at the very outset and
make the remaining payments within
a, few years.
While in Oregon Secretary Balling
er will visit the Klamath project, but
win be unable to visit the Umatilla
project. However he has much In
formation relative to the eastern Ore-
Pn project.
To the members of the local com
mittee Secretary Ballinger denied the
government was thinking of aban
Joiiing the extension In favor of pri
vate capital and intimated the gov
ernment would go very slowly along
such a line as that. In an Interview
in a Portland paper he is quoted di
rectly as having declared unfounded
the story to the effect that the gov
ernment might withdraw. He de
e'ahed that anyone filing on the wa
ter with a view to taking over the
extension has acted without any In
formation from the government and
without nny authority.
In the view of Dr. Smith there Is
very little to the report that private
parties are seeking to take over the
extension.
Congressman Ellis has not yet re.
turned from Portland, neither has
District Attorney Phelps who was
down as a member of the committee
to meet Secretary Ballinger.
PHOENIX HAS WORST
