April 16.—Two strikebreakers were shot this morn ing in the fiercest riot that hus mark ed the strike of the employes of the Cheater Traction Cos. Mayor Johnson admits hla inability to cope with the situation and la try lu* to get in communication with the sheriff who is at Atlantic City, to call qn the state constabulary for protec tion. Wm.

Griesmyer, claim agent of the company, who was attacked while leading a squad of 40 strikebreakers. Spasmodic Rioting. Rioting was spasmodic from mid night on and began with an attack on the Lafayette hotel, where the 100 strikebreakers have beep Roused. An attempt to lead 40 strikebreak ers from the Lafayette at Fourth r and Penn-sts. to the car barns at Thir teenth and Edgemont-sts.. through the back streets about 4 o'clock, was soon discovered by the watchful strik ers and tfceir sympathizers, and in a desperate hand-to-hand battle the im ported workers were routed and driv en bruised and bleeding to shelter in the car barns. Mayor Johnson quickly reached the scene and his condemnation of the traction company officials for attempt ing to start car service without his permission was scathing. It Is regarded as out of the question to maintain order.

Early today the Missouri river at Great Falls was between three and four feet high, rising at the rate of an Inch an hour.

Losses of herds of cattle are also reported by stockmen. KILLS SELF BECAUSE HE LOST GOV’T JOB NEW YORK, April 16.—8. H.

JACKSON,’Mich., April 16.—Wm. J- Bryan, accompanied by his Michigan party, arrived here at 10 o'clock this morning. There was a big crowd at the depot to greet him. Bryan was busy shaking hands from his carriage, on route to the Otsego hotel, where a reception was held. Considerable en thusiasm was shown. Bryan stated to the press at his hotel that he was somewhat tired and would take a nap after the recep tion. Daniel J. Campau said he had noth ing to sdy as to tho action of the committee at Lansing, but stated there was no question that the state con vention would nominate Bryan on the first bkliot. Sentiment throughout the state is for Bryan. said Mr. Campau, adding he had observed this from his cor respondence and travel. Towns all along the line turned out big crowds to greet the Commoner, although the train was not scheduled to stop. Mr. Campau said he thought it would have been much better had the committee been unanimous at Lansing, but that the result would be the same, and added that Bryan was was pleased with his reception in Michigan. Bryan refuses to discuss the New* York convention’s action. BRYAN ARRIVES AT 6 O’CLOCK THIS EVENING Arrangements for the big Bryan meeting In the Light Guard armory this evening are all completed, and it Is tho expectation of the Wayne county leaders that there will he a big turnout. The welcoming committee, led by former Mayor W. C. Maybury, will meet the Nebraskan at the Mich igan Central station at 5:55 and escort him to the Hotel Pontchartraln, where parlor E has been set aside for his use. In the hotel some local leaders will have audience with the candidate for president, and the latter will have a chance to Ye*t somewhat altar hl» railroad trip. Green’s military band will play In the hotel and later go to the armory. There will be a reception to the vice presidents of the meeting, the list of whom comprises practically all prominent iccal Democrats, in the parlors of the armory. Then comes the opening address by W. C. May bury, the chairman, and the speech of the evening by William Jennings Bryan. A public reception will take place after the meeting., Echoes of the state central commit tee meeting In tensing drifted hack to Detroit with the arrival of some of the patriots this morning. The gen eral verdict was that this was about as warm a session as was ever held of the kind. Antl-Campau men were claiming that the national committeeman was beaten, both on the selection of a city for the state convention and on the failure of the Bryan Indorsement. “It is not true that Mr. Campau was beaten—rather he won a victory,” says Charles 8. Hampton, secretary of the Wayne County Democratic club. “He desired to have the state convention bold anywhere except In Detroit or Grand Rapids. Kalamazoo or Lansing suited him. “If tho convention had be bad rant te the cewat. alae ever Ike aatttk gtleatle atatee dartaa Ike teat S4 hear a. f ferity eteady weather with rialag teutperatare M lad lee ted fee thta eeeaH l-utebt aad Frida* The '*tada te Ike Jake ri«te* gavl fresh la brlak »»rtk t* eaat-

April 16.—Unless an other one of those cold waves hits this town today, there will be a game between the Tigers and the Sox. The morning dawned clear and bright, and. although there was a pronounced chill In the air, It was dissipated as the forenoon advanced and a message re ceived from Comtskey at the ball park gtated that there was no doubt re garding a game. Tbe Tigers will put Killian in the box. and the Sox will almost certainly Stage Smith. It was thought yester* day that, in cgse the day proved real warm. White would go in and try to repeats but tbe atmosphere is uot of tbe character in which the George town dentist does his best, and it looks as if tbe Tiges would dodge their hoodoo, though running up Against the man who Is probably the speediest right-hander in tbe league. Bm!th worked out at the park on and was burning the ball .through at a terrific clip, but mere speed never scared the tiges. George Mullin is the most tickled Tiger of them all today, as it is now certain that he will be the twirler •elected to pitch the opening combat in Detroit. Qpeners are where George resides. For years and years be has been the twirler selected to open the ball on the Tiges home lot, and he is glad that fdaghie Jennings haa so planned it to •W&aaie him to be there this year in stl accustomed spot.

Ming Brewing Cos. tlov to Store Tbit iiti Ikd of Sscrifke-llil-OiTfieW-Fhf President Pulliani, of the Na tional league, has sent out to baseball scorers his oihclal in terpretation of how the new outfield fly rule should be seor ed. Writes Pulliam "Asa member of the rules committee I know exactly what the rule makers luteuded. and this section must be construed literally. Therefore, a sacrifice hit cau be given the batsman only when, as a result of a fly ball being caught, u run is scored. If the ball is muffed no sacrifice can be given. The play must then be scored as a run made on an error. Further more. a sacrifice hit cannot be scored if the batter hits a short fly which is caught and then the outfielder makes a palpable er ror by a wild throw to the plate.‘ and the fact that St. Louis got to Joas, who will probably be the oppos ing star, makes the whole prospect seem exceedingly rosy. In all probability Schmidt will be at the receiving end of the Killian de livery this afternoon, the rest of the Tiges lining up as they did on Tues day, of course. JENKINSIFTER CHUMPIi GOTCH Tom Jenklnß, America s ex-champion wrestler, Is once again on the war path. He is after the scalp of Frank Gotch. the recent couquerer of Hack enscbmldt, to whom Tom lost bis laurels a year ago. Jenkins defeated Gotch In Madison Square Garden a couple of years ago in the most bitterly fought wrestling contest ever held In this country. Shortly after that Hackenschmldt took the American s measure, and in doing so Injured Jenktn's side. It was while still suffering from this Injury that Jenkins took Gotch on in Kansas City and was beaten. Gotch can give no good excuse for not meeting, as Jenkins can secure no end of backing in the event of the same being necessary. He Is also willing for the winner to take the en tire purse. It's up to Frank Gotch. MORIN TOFF FOR ’JME AGAIN NEW YORK. April 16—Owen Mo ian, the English featherweight, left yesterday on the Lusitania for his home in Birmingham.

B C. team, one of the leading ag gregations of the city and the orlg -1 r>a 1 favorites for the championship, tame on the alleys and rolled a piti ful 2.601. which left (hem outside the i money. Then, to complete ihe complete form reversal, Walter Wray, one of the members of the team who looked to be in a terribly (rippled condition, came out in the indivldauls and bowl ed a mighty 612. which puts him in the lead in that department of the tournament by a large and healthy j margin. Wray came up »to the scratch a mass of bandages. His thumb was done up in splints, he could hardly i walk from the effects of a recent street car accident which had cut up both his legs, and he didn't look to have a chance in the world. He rose to the occasion-- however, and began to topple over the pins, though ap parently suffering pain with every move. As he progressed, he worked out some of his soreness a bit or else numbed it somehow, and hung up a record which made everybody’s eyes bulge out. Then, on the other hand, there was some rolling to form, most consplcu- j ous of which was the work of Tom O'Connell, of the Cadillacs. O’Con nell, be It known. Is at present the hlgh-averrge bowler of the Detroit 'City league, and was naturally ex j pec ted to do some rolling He ap peared first in the five-man team and rolled 215, 215 and 212. This was surely going some, but It didn't detain Mr. O’Connell, He was due next in the two-man .event, which he rolled with Whit- J marsh as partner, and the pair work ed into second place in the up to-date totals by getting a total of 1,174. 1 1 Whitmarsh was doing fairly well, but i O’Connell? Well, he hit them for 213, 214 and 202—a performance which, combined with his five man feat, puts him In the lead for the 'all-round championship, a position i formerly held by Jim Trent, j Both Trent ahd O’Connell have still to roll their Individual games and the result Is going to be decided then, in ail probability/ Gentry’* Star Change* Trainer* It is *pld that the pacing mare Gen try's Htar, by John R Gentry, 2:00‘/fc. j dam an own sister to Star Pointer, j 1:5914. owned by J.

W t n \C WIRELESS PHONES COMING SOON, SAKS CLARK LOCAL INVENTOR AT WORK ON SYSTEM WHICH HE EXPECTS TO INSTALL ON D. C. BOATS IN SUMMER.

One of these is tlio now wireless telephone which may be demonstrated within a month or so. It is planned to have this arranged so that a Detroiter may call up the wireless phone station from his house, be connected to a wireless 'phone ap paratus and talk with a friend on one of the lake steamers or at Toledo or Port Huron. j “The wireless telephone will be oven a greater sensation than the wireless telegraph,” says Mr. Clark. “It will be necessary to have several sets of Instruments attuned to one «*n otlftr at different points if more than on© message Is to be sent between those points at the same time. Anew system of receiving has had to be adapted to the wireless system for j the telephone as the old coherer was of no value for such work. “A further development of the wire less 'phono will be the recording of voice tones at the receiving end, much as pictures are now taken on kineto scope films. In that way speech can be preserved and recorded, messages can be delivered and repeated on the new-style phonograph which will be adapted to this sort of work. “This may sound visionary, but it is WAR DECLARED ON PARASITES INVISIBLE K.NKHIKH SWALLOWED IN UNCOOKED FOOD AUK BOLTED BY COOPER. NEW YORK. April 16.—Probably the most unusual feature of the ex citement that has been created by I* T. Cooper's visit to this city is tho removal of parasites or tapeworms by his preparations. During the early part of Cooper's stay In New York, Individuals who were taking his “New Discovery," as It is called, brought, either to himself or to physicians, throughout the city immense parasites that had left tho system after using the medicine. Many of these people were fright ened, and cases of this sort became so numerous that Cooper finally made the following statement for publica tion: He said: "In every city I visit these things are brought to me within a few days after my medicine Is sold In the city. They are what Is known as the tapeworm, and grow to enorm ous size. "Few, Indeed, realize how prevalent these creatures are. I think I have been the first to demonstrate what a large factor they are in the poor health of this generation. I believe thut fully one-half of the chronic stomach trouble that is so universal Is caused by these parasites. "Individuals may have them for years and not be aware of the reason for continued 111-health, but attribute It to muny different diseases, when In reality one of these creatures is rob bing them of their vitality. "These parasites are taken Into the system in uncooked food or rare meat, in the form of an egg. which hatches almost Immediately. People suffering from them experience a feeling o? lassitude and are extremely nervous. The action of the New Discovery seems to be fatal to these great worms, and In most cases a few doses of the medicine drives the creatures from the system. I will have hun dreds of them brought to me before I leave the city." This grewsome prophecy has been amply verified, for not only hundreds but thousands of New York and Brook lyn people have been relieved of one of these fearful parasites since taking Cooper’s preparations, and the entire city has been aroused by the fact. Some of these parasites are of such enormous size as to startle the imag ination. The statement of Thomas McNulty, a city employe, living at 218 Thirty-ninth Street. South Brooklyn, verifies this. His statement, among others given to a reporter, was as follows: "I have no objection to talking about this matte t. Why should I? The facts are »o. and a man who would not dis cuss them Is suffering with false mod esty. In my opinion. I believe every one should know about these things. I believe they are a public menace, and If thi9 man Cooper, or any one else, relieves It. I am willing to say so, and give credit where It Is duo. "I have been a sick man for years. My stomach was all wrong and I had a gnawing, faint feeling which only a little food of aome sort would relieve. Then after I ate the food It would not agree with me. and would bloat and feel uncomfortable. I was tired all the time, was nervous and depresaed and did not sleep well. I felt as tired In the morning as when I went to bed. I had dizzy spells, headaches, a coated tongue: and have been thin and gen erally run down. "I went to Rlker’s, saw Cooper and got some of the New Discovery med icine—not because I thought It would help me, for I have tried everything, hut Just on a chance Monday a tape worm fully 30 feet long left my sys tem How a man could live with >uch a thing sapping his vitality for all these years Is beyond me to sav. Now I know why I have been half dead so long. I will tell any one In the city of New York theao facta who wants to know about them.” This story of Mr. McNulty la a lair example of tho experience of an as tonishing number of New York peo ple, and Cooper’s preparations are selling h\furda. medium on.; wrlglit eolea.

Reports read In the annual business meeting of Bethany Presbyterian church, Wednesday night, show that the organisation has enjoyed a very successful year.

Bince he assumed the pastorate, two years ago, the pledged subscrip tions have increased 42 per cent. Re ports from the various departments show that a total of $6,035.50 was raised, of which $2,427.40 was for benevolences. The following trustees were elected for three years: George A. St Amour, John A. Shaw and Wil liam Stedinan. The congregation vot ed an increase of salary to the pastor. Picturesque "Tom” Pries. There are few more picturesque personalities In the world of politics than “Tom” Price, the South Aus tralian premier. He actually helped to erect the parliament buildings In which he now speaks as premier. Born lr. Derbyshire In 1852. Mr. Price spent the early part of his life In Liverpool, w’here he worked as r stone mason. Twenty-five years ago he emigrated to Australia, and It was not until 18513 that he entered parliament. Eight years later he was appointed to the leadership of the Labor party, and in 1905 he became premier.

Their courtship was most ro mantic, their wedded life has been Ideal. They have no children. Longevity In Turkey.
