He said citizens were paying heavily for an increased police force, and they had been told that it was adequate. nal this force law and order should pre- Vail. Edward Devoy said as the chief executive, the mayor should take the lead and should act in harmeny with the Pol’ce Board. He would suggest that the mayor should issue a proclamation warnine all citizens from ‘congregating in crowds, as he had been given to understand that acts of violence emanated from mobs of hoodiums, nat from the strikers. John Schroers said President Whitaker ap declared there was nothing to arbi- trate, but he begged to differ. The press of the city, he declared, was unanimous for fin immediate settlement of the trouble by ‘arbitration and the press would use its in- fluence to that end. He would suggest that the poalice should furnish ample protection ard if they did not, it was the duty of the gnayor to call upon the sheriff to furnish the needed protection. ' George S. Johns said St. Louis was a civ- Jlized community, where every man, wom- an and child should be safe on the streets. ft was the duty of. public servants to sup- press violence. Because he was in favor of Civilization he was in favor of peace and Fexnson. Disorder and violence are passion nd unreason. In such a crisis the moral fntiuence of good citizens shauld be on the ide of peace and reason and should insist that the problem be solved promptly. If there was nothing to arbitrate, there should be no fear of arbitration. The speaker be- HNeved the dispute should be submitted to arbitration, and if the business men would support such a movement it would succeed. Charles W. Knapp said the question pre- sented to the people of St. Louis was larger than the issue between the transit com- P pany and its striking employes. It was a uestion of law and order. He said he could Fei understand why during a period of mob violence the company should decline 5 ayer The thing to do was to estab- sh and maintain order. >The mavor thanked the delegatian for ealling upon him. He pledged them his best fforts to maintain order and to settle the rike. He favored arbitration and offered do anything in his power to bring it bout. He believed the police could handle the situation. ‘Mr. Devoy moved that the mayor be re- quested to issue a proclamation warning persons from congregating in crowds on the street. Mrs. Steinbiss asked to amend by asking the mayor also to appoint a com- mittee of arbitration. but the amendment was not accepted. Mr. Devoy’s motion was adopted. The meeting. adjourned to call upon the Police Board. Another meeting has been called for 4 o'clock at the Business Men’s League to discuss arbitration.

AVOID GATHERINGS. Following ig the mayor's proclamation, given to the Post-Dispatch at noon. Whereas, During times of excitement the greatest source of danger lies in the gath- ering of large crowds and assemblages of people on the streets and in public places, affording a temptation to heated discussions and quarrels, which sometimes result in riot and public disorder— Therefore, to avoid all likelihood and chance of trouble and. confusion, the un- dersigned, mayor of the city of, St, Louis, dces hereby call upon and request all good citizens of St. Louis to avoid all gather- ings upon the streets and public places of the city; to refrain from loud or boisterous discussions of the situation, and thereby to assist in the maintenance of public peace and order during the pendency of the present street railway strike,~which, it is to be hoped, will be speedily terminated by some satisfactory settlement between the immediately interested parties. Women and children are particularily requested to give heed to this warning and to abstain from being drawn towards large gather- ings. HENRY ZIEGBENHEIN, St. Louis, May 9, 1900. Mayor.

All the men. in our employ are ready and willing to go their routes if they understand that their lives will be safe. Some of them have al- ready risked their lives and are ready to do so again. But we do nat ask this. We only ask what under the law we are entitled to—protection.

Chief Campbell submitted the following Statement of the disposition of his force to the police board Wednesday: St. Louis, Mo., May 9, Honorable Board of Police Commissioners: Gentlemen—I beg to advise you that my men in the street car strike were divided as follows: I have at my disposal a force of 1078 men, divided into two shifts ef 12 hours each, to en- able the men to secure their needed rest. The first platoon, which was on duty yesterday, has been in- setyicd continuously for. 24 hours, and the men are physically unable to do without fur- ther sleep. After the acts of violence in the morn- ing I have issued clube to our men, and they will be armed with those weapons during the contin- uation of the present difficulty. It required the active work of over 400 men to keep the Suburb- an } running and prevent violence to its prop- » cud empleyes and for the protection of the lic along its road, F general strike of all the lines in the city yesterday, covering such an immense district, ren- ders it absolutely impossible for me to prevent Violence on all the roads with the force at my command. It required 140 officers, 12 of them be- ing mounted, yesterday afternoon to move one car from the transit company’s shed’ at Fairfax and Newstead avenues, and it was also found impossible to continue the trip without the assistance of mounted men. By the use of violent methods, the use of clubs and firearms, I can of course disperse the crowds more quickly, but this, in my judgment, cannot be done with the present force without the loss of lives and the spilling of much blood. Your attention is especially called to the large number of idle aid curious people and small boys end children in fhe mobs who are guilty of the violence complained of: and I respectfully sub- mit that some statement to the public be made so that these people may be kept away, and that the owners aud proprietors of teams and wagons may be requested to do their hauling, where possi- bie, upon streets not occupied by railroad lines. My force for street duty is divided as follows: Ninety-three sergeants, 753 patrolmen and probationary patrolmen. Very respectfully, JOHN W. CAMPBELL, Chief of Police. The following statement from President Turner of the Suburban was read at the meeting: 1900, 9 idl ST. LOUIS, May 9, 1900. To the Honorable Board of Police Commissioners of the City of St. Louis: beg to report that on yesterday we attempted the operation of the cars of the St. Louis Transit Co., in compliance with the laws of the state. and the ordinances of the city. As soon, however, os the cars appeared upon the streets, they were beset by a mob, the men in charge assaulted, beaten and dragged from the cars. As the day progressed the violence in¢reased, and by 2 o'clock p. m., it became impossible to mdve the cars. Any attempt now to renew operation would be met with the violence of yesterday and would expose our men and the passengers to grave peril of life and lim). The details ef yesterday’s violence can be read in ail of our daily papers. Employes were brutally beaten; passengers were stoned and in some cases cars so injured as to be unfit for further use. The police force ig in my judgment inadequate to preserve the peace and order unless its numbers are Increased. or it is nided by other authority. We have the men te operate our cars and will resume operation as soon ,as proper protection te employes and passéfigéfs {s afforded. The board adjourned for a lunch recess at 1.o‘clock and reconvened later in the after- noon, The police board received the following communication from the St. Louis & Sub- urban Railway Co.: ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 9, 1900. To the Board of Police Commissioners of the City of St. Louis: Gentlemen—The undersigned St. Louls & Suburban Railway Company and Meramec River Kailway Co. show to your hon- orable boaml that they each have a “sufficient force of men to run and operate all cars on both of said roads, but they are prevented from doing 60 by the collection of mobs, who hurl missiles of every kind and description, and often fire pistols at the motormen and condue- tors, and make all sorts of assaults upon them, so that they are unable to operate the care Without the protection which the law af- fords them at your hands. We further desire to represent and show to your honorable board that the police force now at your command is inadequate in the preservation of order and in the protection of our companies in the lawful and usual operation of their road Ve therefore most respectfully request that the present oceasion furnishes an emerzency Which can only be met by calling out a large- ly increased foree of policemen for the p pian arrested at Thirteenth and Locust streets on a charge of stoning cars.

Hundreds of Relapses From Other Drunk Cures Permanently Cured. “here is no darktiess but ignorance, there is no light but. intelligence, as often as we can exchange a mistake for a fact, a falsehood for a truth we advance.” The toroh light of truth has walked through darkness and illuminated its path with many practical facts in the last century. For years and years drunkenness has been looked upon as a crime. We have legislated against it and have filled our } mt Ne (or a A Pe A.

The reason for this is that drunkenness js not a crime, is not viciousness, is not a habit, but it is a disease, and by taking this fact as a basis, science in its learned way has thrust aside mistakes and ignorances and placed in fits stead truth and intelli- gence. The community at large Is in- debted to Dr. Ozias Paquin, the eminent practicing physician, for this truth. Dr. Paquin for years has been making exper- iments, the foundation of which has been his beiief that drunkenness was a dis- ease; he has demonstrated this to be en absolute fact without the shadow of & doubt. After he had made this startling discovery he went about in a purely sel- entific manner to prepare a method whereby this disease could be cured. His efforts have resulted in placing before the world what is now known as the Pa- quin Immunizing Method. By this meth- od he cures every case of drunkenness, no matter how hopeless the case may seem to be, and in every instance he imfun- izes the patient from the drink habit. Some of the cures he has performed re- ally seem miraculous. In many ‘nstances he has taken cases which were relapses from other drunk cures and permanently cured them from all desire to drink, Dr. Ozias Paquin has established himself in suite 1113 Chemical Building, where tie wil at al] times be pleased to have any one call who is Interested in his method.
