USED GUNS TO* QUELL MOB CLUBBING AND CHARGING ON THE ENRAGED CROWD. -_ —-- Six Strikers Bear Bayonet Wounds, Some Being Severely Injured, While Many Soldiers Were Roughly Handled, TAMAQUA, Pa., Aug. 29.—In an encoun- ter between troops and strikers at Lans- ford this morning, Capt. W. H. Heim of Company K, Twelfth Regiment, was slight- ly injured, A half-dozen strikers bayoneted by the soldiers as -the fracas. Maj. Gearheart, in of the troops here, states that he will ap- peal to the military authorities to put the town of Lansford under martial law. From daybreak the troops were active protecting in quelling disturbances and non-union men while on their way to work. As has been the case for the past few days, the troops were jeered wherever they went.* The «officers repeatedly admonished the crowds not to insult or molest the soldiers, but their words had but little effect. At 5 o'clock Companies K and E were placed in two trolley cars. One of the cars Was run in front of the car which carried the nonunion men to work and the other in the rear. While passing through Coal- dales and Lansford the soldiers were hoot- ed, but as no stop was made the strikers _ did not make any violent demonstrations. At Summit Hill about double the usual number of men availef@ themselves of the protection of the soldiers and went to work. When the workmen had been loaded oh to the cars the return trip through the valley commenced. Geen The word that more men than usual were reporting for work spread through the lower part of the valley like wildfire, and in a short time the streets were almost blocked with people. When the corner of Center and East Bertsch streets was reached the cars stopped to allow several non-union men to get off. As the men stepped to the ground the mob made a rush for them. A half-dozen soldiers sprang off the car, andj with leveled guns forced the strikers back and made a passageway for the non- union men. When the soldiers returned aft- er escorting their charges to a place of commenced to close in around the cars. The strikers were in an ugly mood, and when ordered to disperse merely yelled louder and pressed closer. As Capt. Heim of Company K was about to jump from the car he was seized around the legs and thrown to the ground. A half-dozen privates who follewed him were roughly handled. One of the men'had a portion of Ikjs shirt torn off, and, ac- cording to the @nlisted men and the officers, a humber of blows were struck. Maj. Ger- hart, who was in command of the two com- panies, then ordered his men to disembark. With clubbed guns and fixed bayonets the soldiers forced the crowd back. Many of the strikers stood their ground and would “not move until the soldiers jabbed them with their bayonets. Six of the strikers were severely hurt.

POLICE PRONOUNCED IT GOOD PICTUBE OF WOMAN CAUSES STRIFE ON WASHINGTON AVE , Work Is on Side of Brick Wall Which Faces Yard of Mrs. Alexander’s Boarding House and She Objects to It. Chief Sir Mathew Kiely of the St. Louis police is up against a delicate problem in art criticism. It has devolved upon Sir Mathew to de- cide whether the nude painting of a wom- ans figure on the brick wall facing the front yard of the rooming house at 142 Washington avenue is a work of art or! merely a vulgar daub. Mrs. J. W. Alexander, who conducts the rooming house, holds the latter view of the work and has requested the police de- partment to have it removed from the outer wall of the building occupied by the Scott & Wolf Painting Co., on which the nude figure appears as a part of the firm’s sisn. The rooming house, a three-story brick, is set back twenty feet from the sidewalk. The paint shop abuts the sidewalk, leay- of Mrs. Alexander’s lawn, where her lodgers are wont to occupy a settee during the shady hours. The painting firm, when it moved into the premises at No. 1426 a month ago, was quick to percejve the advertising advantages of that blank wall. Those bricks simply in- vited, aye, more, they demanded an “art sign.”’ Mr. Wolf set about the painting of it. His firm name occupies the middle space. At the south end of the exposed wall he painted the figure of a nude man, heroic tize. This figure is partly obscured by the big bay window of Mrs. Alenander’s house, and is not particularly objectionable, she says. But on the north edge of the wall, visible as far down as Twelfth Street, Mr. Wolf painted a nude female figure, 16 feet high, which demands atteption. Reproduction of the ““Majolika-Entwurf.” It is a reproduction of the Dutch artist Josef Engelhart's ‘“Majalika-Entwurf.”’ being the fullifigure, drapeless, standing erect, with th arms entend@d above the head. In the original painting there are a few thin stalks topped with flowers, and the hands of the woman are dallying with the blossoms above her head. Mr. Wolf says the brick wall did not lend itself easily to the reproduction of the flowers, so he left them off. Consequently the figure is bereft of even this suggestion of drapery. A side view of the woman is presented. It is this figure that Sir Chief Kiely is called upon to judge as to its artistry. Un- der the law, it Is held, a work of art may stand, even on a brick wall sign. Chief Kiely first sent the two policemen on that beat and the one adjacent to study the painting, says. Mrs. Alexander. ‘It’s nothing but a work of art,” said the two officers. Then Police Sergeant Henry Meyers, who, like the gentie pcet, James Whitcomb Ri- ley, used to, be a sign painter himself, was selected as the best art critic on the force. Sergt. Meyers surveyed the painting from all points of view and prenounced it good. “Purely a Work of Art,” Declared the Sergeant. “It’s purely a work of art,’”’ he said. “TI could hardly do it better myself.’’ “It may be art,’ said Mrs. Alexander to the Post-Dispatch, “but I’ve studied art myself to some extent, and I think dif- ferently. ‘The proper place for that picture is in some low-down saloon. It should not be exposed to public view in this way. “T have several ladies -room!ng hcere— married ladies—and they are constantly ex- posed to insuit on account of that picture. Peopie passing on street cars point at it and laugh. “When the ladies sit out fn the yard un- derneath the picture, men walking along figure and make cular remarks. It makes us ashamed to go out into the yard.” Mrs. Alexander says she is determined to have a fight to a finish with the’ painting firm. “IT told them,” she said, “‘that if they didn’t remove the figure, I would erect a Pacific | There is another of the same fam- | canvas to cover thefr sign, bearing my own advertisement of Nicely Furnished Rooms. ‘“‘All right,’ they told me; ‘if you do that, we'll erect a plank billboard on top of our building and paint the same sign there.’ “I think T'll go and see Mayor Wells and ask him to inspect the sign personally and see if such a thing is to be permitted here. I'll have to move or the sign will have to move.” Meanwhile the chief of police is said to be studying art, not for art's gake, but to be ready t6 judge justly in case he is called upon to be the final arbiter.

The event of the day, the fourth race, lost much of its interest by the scratching of Beana. The track was in grand condition being}: safe and fast.

KINLOCH RACE MEETING WILL END TOMORROW BY R. D. WALSH. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KINLOCH RACETRACK, ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29.—Tomorrow will end the Kinloch summer race meeting, and Racing Secre- tary Creveling has made up an excellent program of six races, the principal one of which will be E. J. Arnold & Co,’s World’s Fair Handicap, at one mile, for 3- year-olds and upwards, with $100 added SIXTEEN ENTRIES, The entries to this race are numerous, 16 having accepted the weights and conditions. Most. of the contestants are high-class, and have performed on the local tracks so that a fair estimate may be formed of their re- spective merits. At the present writing, the outlook is for a very fast track, and this should insure a capital contest. Of the sixteen horses that are carded to start, I think I can safely eliminate about half of Them as hav- ing no chance. Biue Mint, Lennep, Mission, Capt Gaines, Satin Chat, Henry Bert and Croix d@’Or, have hardly any chances to be first because they are outclassed by Such horses as Schwalbe, Peaceful, Glenwood and Felix Bard. The distance suits Schwalbe exactly, and I believe that if she is hard pushed in this race, she will make a new track record for the mile. SCHWALBE TO WIN IF FIT. When she made her record mile at the Fair Grounds in 1:39% last May she carricé very light weight, but she can almost run as fast with 1900 pounds-—up as ghe can with &. Knowing her as I do, I canno gelect anything to beat her tomorrow, and unless her speed has been dulled by her race today in the St. Louis Brewing Ass0o- ciation stake, she should certainly capture the World's Fair Handicap. Schwalbe is giving away a lot of we'ght og ‘get ; FOO start, will set og ueahe wate = ven Minwaide wil) find some difficulty in catching him. But Peaceful has occasionally show the wh te) feather when he is collared and when Schwalbe hooks up with him at the head of the stretch, she will kiss him good-by. FELIX BARD TOP WEIGHTED. Felix Bard is horiored with top weight, but the compliment is deserved, as he is a high-class horse. The son of The Bard promises to be an important figure in the event, and with a good jockey up he wiil make a strong bid for first money. Prosper La Gali, with only 8&8 pounds up, and on a track which will exactly suit him, stands a good chance to get a part of the money. - , Glenwood is a fine handicap horse at about a mile and a sixteenth or a mile and an eighth, but from my observation of his races I am inclined to think a mile is a little too short for him. About 1.41% or 1:42 is his mark and Peaceful and Schwalbe ean do better than that over a fast track. I will therefore have to pass Glenwood by for the present. Arnold himself has a strong hand in this race in Peaceful and Stranger and he wiil undoubtedly, make a strong bid to annex his own handicap. A BUNCH OF MUD LARKS. Lennep is good only in the mud, and has not thee remotest chance to win this race. Joe Doughty is good with light weight up, but as he is a bad actor at the post, under the new system of starting he is liable to get left at the post, and, under these cir- cumstances, I cannot select Joe to be in the morey. Satin Coat is another mud horse who has little chance of capturing this race, anc I supposed he was entered in the hope that the weather might be wet. Fitzkanet has just arrfved from er and is nicely weighted with 103 pounds, but everyone knows that his forte is heavy going, and that he ts only a mediocre horse over a fast track. Henry simply prospects for first. CERRO SANTA A CONTENDER. Fourteen horses of uncertain caliber will try conclusions in the first race. Lady Con- trary is the logical winner, She rap a good second to Lasso Wednesday last over a heavy track, but she is much better over a fast one. Not on what Cerro Senta did in her last race but rather on her previous perform- ance Aug. 22, she should be a keen con- tender here. Louis Wagner won that race in 1:14%, and Santa was within a length of him at the finish. If he does as well Sat- dav he will come close to winning. Reducer looks to be much the best of the other dogs, aithough he is a very uncertain performer. Postillion is entered again af- ter deceiving all his friends Wednesday, and being played down from 4 to 1 to 3 to 2. Maybe he may do better Saturday over a different track. Tom Collins seems to have no chance over a fast track, with 117 pounds up, but ff he gets off well even with this weight he is liable to cause a big surprise here. CRIME LOOKS THE BEST. Crime looks to bé the best ef the let en- tered in thé second. She easily defeated Seize at five and one-half furlongs, Wed- nesday last. ‘ The distance of this race is long for >- year-olds, but there is no reason why Crime should not go the route. She is an excep- tionally strong stretch runner and should beat Lady Cayuga. Wolfram'’s recent races have been bad ones, but he Is, nevertheices a good horse, and his true form has not yet been reveaied at Kinloch. ANOTHER STEEPLECHASE. Another steeplechase over the short course will be run Saturday. The fiela will not be as large as it was on Thurs- day and Fearful and Teller will fight over” their duel again. a more then, he “ eo inclined Mision and Blue Mint are and I Ginnot see any of these coming in Bert, outclassed, either carries one pou aH when he came to GALS RESCUED FROM QUICKSAND St. Louis Misses Tell of Their Experience. RETURNED TO HOMES TODAY CAUGHT IN MIRE OW RIVER BANK. WERE Say They Were Frightened, but Did Not Realize Great Peril They Were In Until After They Were Saved. After a thrilling and dangerous expe- rience with the mud and quicksand of the Mississippi river Miss Helen Langalier of 3332 Bell avenue’ and Miss Christine Baird or 6631 Chamberlain avenue, who were res- cued from a perilous situation on the river bank near Kimmswick, Mo., on Wednesday, are back at their homes, and are today re- ceiving the congratulations of their neigh- bors and friends. The Is whose ages are 17 and 16 re- spectively had been spending their Vaca- tions at Iorth’s summer resort,a short dis- tance from Montesano. Wednesday afternoon they left their boarding house without escort, and started alone for a walk along the river bank. They had gone leas than a mile when they came upon one of the beds of soft black mud and quicksand which are common along the river's bank. TRIED TO CROSS SAND. Not realizing the danger of such a course the girls tried to walk across it, even at the risk of getting very muddy. They had proceeded but a short distance, however, when they began to sink deeper and deeper with each step, and soon found themselves abgve the knees in the soft sticky soil. Théy were unable -to extricate themselves, and began to call for help. Miss Langalier continued to struggle and succeeded in reaching a position near a tree to which she held, while two men, one colored, whose names the giris did not learn, rowed to them in a small boat and placing some planks on the bank beside the girls, succeeded in getting them te solid and safe ground. WERE BADLY FRIGHTENED. The clothing of both the girls was in an awful condition from the sticky mud, and they were egcorted by a farmer living near by to their boarding place. Miss Langalier said to a Post-Dispatch reporter today: “White I was badly frightened by my ex- perfence I did not realize until after the rescue that my life might have been in danger.” Miss Baird said: We had been told that there were unsafe places along the bank, but did not realize we weré coming on one. My companion got into the dangerous mud first and called to me for assistance, and, in going to her help, I also got tnto a posi- tion from which I could not release my- self. After being rescued the girls gained an idea of the danger they had been in when told that a str@ng man had lost his life in almost the seme spot by sinking over his head in the mud and sand. Several of the girls’ friends and neighbors called on them today to offer congratula- tions on their fortunate escape. to think that will anchor him. There is one thing to be sald tn his favor and that is that he is a safe jumper and that is a {most important fact In determining the winner. FOUNDLING FOR THE FIFTH. The fifth race will be a selling affair at a mile and twenty yards, and I think Foundling has a cinch here. Monday last, with 97 pounds up, she ran a mile 1:41, defeating Bacchus and Chorus Boy. That erformance ranks her high and entities e rto strong consideration. Blue Mint and Leenja are the ones she has to t. a wy should do it handily. cannot give any chances for victory to either Icicle or Bengal with 113 unds up. Kine Barleycorn could win fn cheaper company, but he Is out of his element in a race with» Foundling. Digby Bell is a mudder and Charles D. Is not yet up to a bruising race. Belle Simpson and Barkly ts might as well remain in their stable. SIXTH RACE EVEN BREAK. A half dozen horses seem to have an even break in the sixth race, but of the lot I ‘claim adjuster for the 8t. fancy Eva Darling, not on her last race, but on some of her performances at Dcl- sar. Old Verify ia feeling od now, and as this distance suits him, think he will be close up at the finish. Kiss Quick has done enough this summer to entitle her to be considered here. and f think she will at least be third. The card is a good one, and the meeting should wind up with a good day's.sport, if not In the proverblal blaze of glory. POLITENESS CAUSED BEATING J. F.
