ANARCHY'S EMBLEM
IS AGAIN UNFURLED

Warsaw, June 25.—Anarchists' red
flag was again unfurled In Warsaw's
streets early last evening and the
scenes of rioting and bloodshed that
brought death to hundreds and injury
to thousands at Lodz in the past four
days of riating, promised to be repeat-
ed here unless the troops and police arc
able to cow the spirit of the socialistic
element.
Up to midnight it was known that
One soldier had been shot down. In
reprisal the troops of the patrol hi
which the murdered soldier belonged,
fired Into a house that held the assas-
sin, killing four men, fatally wounding
two women and injuring a Kcore of
.others. Soldiers of an infantry .le-
tachment shot down a mother and her
daughter who taunted them with a
revolutionary cry. Two soldiers were
then fatally Injured by the bursting of
a bomb thrown into a detachment of
noun ted Cossacks.
Promptly at 6 o'clock last night
thousands of Socialists and striking la-
boring men cheered by the unsuccess-
"'ful fight their comrades had made
against the authorities at Lodz and
counting not the cost in life and prop-
erty, after being haranged.by several
Socialistic leaders, whose violent lan-
guage whipped them into a frenzy, in
n half organized way began to parade
the streets, their leaders holding aloft
huge red flags and all singing and
shouting taunts at the police who hur-
ried away to give the alarm.
At the corner the authorities mnde
a determined effort to bring the pro-
cession to a halt in order to disrupt its
inarch and scatter the marchers.
A patrol of mounted gendarmes with
drawn sabers blocked the entire width
of the street. As the procession came
near the officre in command called to
the marchers to disperse. In reply a
young man well up with the leaders
ran forward a few paces, hurled a
bomb at the mounted soldiers and then
turning fled and made his escape. The
bomb exploded under the horse of a
Cossack. The animal was blown to
pieces and Its rider and another soldier
■were frightfully injured and were tak-
en to the hospital. It Is not expectcd
they can recovor. The confusion re-
sulting from the bursting bomb added
to the excitement and for a time had a
quieting effect upon the marchers.
The noise of the explosion drew a still
greater crowd, however, which packed
the adjoining streets. The troopers,
reinforced by a detachment of infan-
try patrols, made a determined assault
upon the mob.
Two volleys were flred by the foot
soldiers into the marchers. The offi-
cers gave the order to fire immediate-
ly and without calling upon the people
to fall back and disperse.
It is not known how many were
killed and wounded by the fire from the
troops. The marchers withdrew sul-
lenly with their maimed comrades and
order was partially restored.
Later on the remnants of the mob
captured a secret police officer and
upon the unfortunate man took re-
venge for the killing of the number.
The agent of the police, who was r^c-
o^nized by one of the Socialists, was
shot six times, stabbed twice and left
for dead. He was found by the police
and despite his frightful wounds, the
surgeons say he has a chance for fyis
life.
Later on In the evening while a
Cossack patrol was passing, one of a
number of the police and military
squads that were sent to every section
of the city to restore order and to pre-
vent the formation of mobs, a man
leaned from the window of a house and
shot dead one of the soldiers of the
patrol.
The revenge of Ills comrades was in-
stantaneous. They surrounded the
house, a low and poorly constructed
dwelling and without calling on the
man to surrender, poured volley after
volley through the door, windows and
walls. When they had ceased firing
four men in the house were dead, two
women were so badly shot they cannot
live and the remaining Inmates, who
numbered a score, are all more or less
seriously injured.
Early in the evening a patrol pass-
ing near the gas works were taunte.1
with revolutionary cries by two wo-
men. a mother and a daughter. With-
out a word of command from the offi-
cer in charge, two soldiers of the patrol
shot the women dead.
The official reports of the rioting at
Lodz and vlclnit7, official in that they
are admitted by the authorities, who
have been in communication with Lodz
constantly during the, troubles there,
stated that the number of dead is 223.
Funerals of the dead were held to-
day. The burials were wholesale. In
the village of Doly. 99 were buried and
In .the village of Darczw 125 were
buried.
It is believed that the authorities will
Inter admit that the number of dead is
In excess of that admitted to-day.
STREETS FLOW WITH BLOOD.
and. It is believed that more than
1,000 persons were wounded.
The frenzy of the people to Join in
the movement of revenge Inspired
them to disobey official orders and
venture into the streets, where they
were confronted by squads of troops
Instructed to shoot on the slightest
provocation.
Business has ceased at all the stores,
shops and factories, they having been
closed.
The pnly concerted movement made
by the revolutionists was to burn the
government offices, but they were pre-
vented by a strong force of troops.
More than 50,000 people took part in
the riots of Thursday and Friday.
The police and local military force
were unable to cope with the situa-
tion and troops were brought in from
the outside.

NEW LINE
CHARTERED
Guthrie, Ok., June 24.—The Musko-
gee and Texas railroad was chartered
tonight to build 250 miles of load
from Cushing, Ok., to Honey Grove,
Tex. The capital is $4,000,000.
London, June 24.—The most radical
faction of the Nutional party of Hun-
gary Is circulating literature calling
upon the people to demand that parlia-
ment follow the example of Norway
and decree the dissolution of the Aus-
tor-Hungarian union. It is pointed out
that the cases are exactly parallel anl
that the question of independence
claimed as a birthright by Hungary,
was the counterpart of Norway's de-
mand for a separate consular service.
One of the circulars says: "We don't
ask that the people rise in bloody revo-
lution, nor do we believe that our re-
vered klng_will precipitate the shed-
ding of blood by opposing a dissolution
of the union. He would in his wisdom
do as did King Oscar: He would pro-
test and we would gain our liberty over
his protest: the king feels with us.
Were It not for the Influence of Hun-
gary's enemies at the Vienna court he
would not even protest, but would give
us freedom with a generous hand. Let
us see if our enemies are within our
ranks: .let us ascertain whether our
leaders will refuse to support In part
what the people demand in their
homes."
Reports received from Madrid state
that the government Is on the track of
society believed to be responsible for
the bomb attack of King Alfonso dur-
ing his recent stay at Paris and a large
number pf arrests in several Pyreean
towns Is looked for.
The leader of the organization Is said
to be a former Spanish army officer
who had to leave the service in dis-
grace but who made an appeal to the
king for reinstatement. This was not
granted and the police think that he
instigated the plot as a matter of per-
sonal revenge.
Double Track on Texas and Pacific
Fort/ Worth. Tex., June 24.—Thd
Texas and Pacific is continuing a force
of graders on the work of double-
track'ng the line between Fort Worth
nnd Dallas, and considerable Drogress
has been made during the past thirty
days.
At the present rate, the Texas and
Pacific will h.nve the line ready for
use w'thin the next few months if
there is no interruption.
It Is the general belief here that
when the Texns and Pac'fic h.ns been
double-tracked from this cltv to Dal-
las the comnanv will nut into service
motor cars and give the public a half-
hour service between the two cities.

London, Juneu 24.—The recent activ-
ity on the part of Field Marshal Oya-
ma's army In Manchuria may not have
been much of a surprise to the general
public which has grown accustomed to
Japanese movements in the direction
of victory, but the war experts have
been taken by surprise by the sudden-
ness with which the renewed attacks
upon Gen. Linevitch were begun.
Many of them have been led to believe
that the opposing armies were miles
distant from the other and only
through the mention of the places
where the latest engagements have oc-
curred have they become enabled to
correctly figure out the positions of the
Japanese forces.
So far as can be gleaned from the
meagre reports which have arrrive 1
here during the period taken up al-
most exclusively l>y the recording of
the events which led up to the naval
battle in Korea Str-ait, General Line-
vitch expected the Japanese citiy to
move on him in such a we t the
defenses of Kun Tsu Ling v have
formed a very formidable bar to fur-
ther progress. It now appears, how-
ever, that Oyama's strategy has made
possible the advance upon these forti-
fied positions, lit the same time shift-
ing the scene of activity at such an an-
gle that they have been rendered use-
less to the Russians.
A private dispatch from St. Peters-
burg states.that a confidential report
regarding the industrial condition of
Russia at the present moment is now
In the hands of the minister of the in-
terior and the contents of the docu-
ments, If they were permitted, to be-
come officially known, would perhaps
make it Impossible for Russia to bor-
row a single kopeck In any foreign
market.
Embodying statistics gathered with-
in the past month or so, the report
shows beyond the shadow of a doubt
that Russia is industrially bankrupt, j
with little hope, at the present time, of
early redemption. Russian Poland has
suffered worse than any other section
of the country, but even the fa^ious oil
belt has become unproductive of pros-
perity and the large foundry Interests
of St. Petersburg. Moscow and KielT,
which at the beginning of the war
prospered under the Influence of Innum-
erable government orders have been all
but crippled by the strike movements
of the past few months.
The depression had Its beginning
when the Japs Struck their first blow
against Port Arthur and evidently In-
terrupted In a serious fashion. Rus-
sia's considerable seaboard trade be-
tween her Baltic ports and the Far
East, and the ships of the R if-., ian vol-
unteer fleet, Russian steam navigation.
East Asiatic, Northern and other Rus-
sian shipping lines, were compelled for
the most part to tie up In Idleness In
Russian European ports. Then came
the crippling of nearly every railway
line emptying IntOuthe Siberian roads,
for commercial purposes by Intermin-
able shipments of soldiers, supplies
and It Is stated by the report that had
these Interruptions of trade not com-
pelled the Polish and Russian manu-
facturers to reduce the number of their
employes by more than one-half the
great strikes would nevre have been
inaugurated.
VIGOROUS REPLY MADE
Representative of Texas Track Growers Arraigns
Chairman of Railway Commission.
Following is the reply of the repre-
sentative of the Truck Growers of Tex-
as to the letter of Chairman Story of
Railroad Commission, which letter has
recently been published as a reply to
Commissioner Colquitt: .
Groesbeck, Texas, June 15, 190r>.
To the Fruit and Truck Growers of
Texas:
On May 29, Commissioners Storey
and Mnyfield, acting as a majority of
the Railroad Commissioners of Texas,
denied the application of the Limestone
County Fruit and Truck Growers as-
sociation to amend commodity tariff
No. 31-A, relating to the shipments of
"fruits, melons and vegetables, so as to
send a man along with each carload
from origin to destination and return."
"Appendix A, showing all tariffs
made, by the commission in the form In
which at the date of this report they
exist." The following section 3:
'.Transportation of men In < lun ge of
shipments of cattle," and adding seven
rules governing the transportation of
the men on freight trains. The com-
mission itself owns and admits that it
made this tariff and it provides for tlie
transportation of men on freight trains,
which Chairman Storey says the com-
mission has no right to do.
The same is true of commodity tariff
No. 31-A, which order Is In force to-
day, allowing men to go with carload
shipments of watermelons and ride on
freight trains.
Chairman Storey underbills to state
the case In controversy, and the Issues
tried before the commlss mi in a "nut
shell." He says: "The question pre-
sented In a nutshell is, can the com-
mission legally issue and enforce an
order compelling the itiilrosid compa-
nies of Texns to transport passengers
on freight trains? Second, can it coin-
pel railroad companies to transport
such passengers free of charge?"
According to the real farts in the
case, the question presented and pass-
ed upon briefly stated were as follows:
That the various railroads of this state
be required to allow one man to go
along with each carload shipment of
produce front point of oiigin to point
of destination and return, not a.s a pas-
senger, but. to look after the shipment,
and the cost for permitting the men
to accompany the car to be Included in
the freight rate, but if that could not
be done, the men going with the car to
pay for going at the into charged for
carrying passengeis on passenger
trains.
I mak'O the statement plainly and
positively that the Issues described by
Chairman Storey "in a nut shell," were
not, and were never Intended to be the
Issues tried before the commission. The
question of carrying passengers, free
or otherwise, on freight trains for pur-
poses of travel has long since been de-
cided, and such a tule cannot be en-
forced by the commission: but permit-
ting men to go along to look after cat-
tle or produce is a different question,
arising from a necessity which does
not exist in casfs of men wanting to
travel on freight trains an pasengers.
But Chairman Storey, knowing that
the truck growers were willing that
the cost of transportation be included
in the freight rate, or were even will-
ing to submit to extortion on the part
of railroads to the amount of full pas-
senger rates, for going along with the
produce shipped, not as n passenger,
but to see that the product, of their
toil did not rot on sidetracks; decay
for want of ice, or meet with other
tragedies along the way, he states in
a nutshell that the truck growers were
down there to get an order to compel
railroads to carry passengers on
freight trains free. Why did he not
state the purpose for which the one
solitary man wanted to accompany the
car, and In going along with the car,
the man did not go as a passenger, but
to look after his stuff? Thus protect-
ing himself and rendering service to
the railroad. Why did he say that the
truck growers wanted to send passen-
gers on freight trains free, as passen-
gers. without the slightest Intimation
in his definition in a 'nutshell," as to
the reason and necessity therefor?
With the proper respect and with that
high regard that Is due every man who
occupies one among the highest offices
in our great state, I ask the question,
Why did Chairman Storey misstate
the issues that were tried before hlin,
when he undertook to tell what they
were in a nutshell, thereby leaving
the Impression that thousands of in-
telligent farmers had gone to a great
expense, left their crops In the grass,
occasioned by heavy rains, and hail
come before the commission asking
for an order requiring railroads to take
passengers on freight trains, free, with
no other object in view than travel?
How absurd that Intelligent men from
all over the state would even present
a question the only Issue of which in-
volved the right to force the railroads
to carry passengers for purposes of
travel, and this question was never
before the commission?
As Chairman Storey, In his endeavor
to preserve the "candor and dignity"
of his office, has narrowed and con-
tracted the issues in controversy to
the qmall and Insignificant space of u
'nutshell," and then made a mischiev-
ous and damaging variation from the
facts, I leave him the foregoing nuts
to crack.
There is a vast difference between a
man riding as a passenger for the
sake of service and one who Is look-
ing after produce.
If the commission holds that a man
In charge of produce Is a man travel-
ing as a passenger, and the court de-
cisions make it plain that a freight

STILL ANOTHER
DISASTROUS WRECK
Connellsville, Pa., June 24.—In a
gloom of smoke at the Bresson mines
today two forty-foot main line cars
of the West Pennsylvania Railway
Coke Belt system crushed together
headon.
Wm. Palmer was sitting on the front
seat of the car and was caught In the
crash and instantly killed. Alonza
Fields of Lemont Is badly Injured and
will die. Fifteen other passengers,
mostly foreigners, were Injured, some
of them seriously. The cars have been
running for the past two months on a
new summer schedule. The run of
fourteen miles from Connellsville to
Unlontown, Including numerous stops,
Is made In less than one, hour.
— " this afternoon wm reused
by a disregard of running orders. The
northbound car came up to a passing
siding and the other train was not
there. The electric block signal Indi-
cated that It was not in the next
block and Conductor Trader tried to
signal ahead that he would proceed
to the next switch. Kither the lights
were not properly thrown or they were
out of order. Beoson Hill Is one of
the steepest grades on the division and
Just at the bottom of this hill, while
running at thirty miles an hour, the

stantljr kilted.
train can not be used for passenger
service, upon what authority is the
commission today compelling railroads
to carry men on board of freight trains
with shipments of cattle?
Desire of Truck Growers.
What the truck growers want Is tho
privilege of looking after their stuff,
and they stated to the commission
that If they could get the privilege In
no other way, they would be willing
to pay first-class fare In order to ob-
tain relief. It was shown to the com-
mission by Allison's testimony that he
had wired to the head officials of tho
railroad and had tendered full faro for
the right to go along with his pro-
duce, and was Informed that it was a
matter with the commission. When he
goes to the commission and asks per-
mission to go with his shipment, the
commission says It has no authority
that can give relief. The commission
refers him to the railroads and the
railroads refer him to the commis-
sion.
Judge Storey states In Ills arguments
for the railroads, that It would be
placing an additional burden on them,
'i hey haul a carload of cattle front
Groesbeck to Fort Worth for lH'/j cents
per 100 pounds this includes the cost
of a man going along to look after
the cattle, and his return. The rate
on carload shipments of melons, vege-
tables, ctc., from the same point over l
the same road Is 17Vb cents per 100
pounds, and that, too, without permit-
ting the shipper to go with the car,
and when the shipper asks for the
privilege he Is told that It would bo
un additional burden on the road. The
cost of shipping a carload of vegeta-
bles Is more than $U0 greater than a
ear of cattle—the cattle carries trans-
portation, and are worth $1,500 when
they arrive—the vegetables about $^00.
After granting a hearing upon a
question that he says he had no au-
thority; after refusing the request of
"people from all over Texas for legiti-
mate help to wage a. war against tho
boll weevil by diversifying their crops,
and after searching musty law books
for decisions that in no way apply to
the case, Chairman Storey closed his
emergency opinion as follows: 'Our
sympathies are with the tillers of tho
soil, and wo desire to see them pros-
per." But for this assurance 1 am
one who freely admits that I would
have gone down to a lonely grave
without the knowledge that such sym-
pathy existed. There is one book that
never told an untruth; never uttered
that which Is misleading; left no room
for doubt In estimating human char-
acter and conduct; waiving my right
to pass upon the tender sympathies,
and the boundless love that Judge Sto-
rey says he feels for the tillers of the
soil, 1 stand or fall upon the language
of tho Good Book, referred to which
says: "By their fruits ye shall know
them."
Commission Should Be Firm.
It may be that we could find relief In
the courts for the temporary defeat
that we have suffered; but it may be
that wo can find tl.at relief In the
election of a commission that would
not tremble at "threats of injunctions."
Times of peace call for courage no
less than times of war. The farmers
of our country are confronted with the
gigantic combinations of powerful In-
terests, and while they toll in the rain
and sun, the black flag of commercial
piracy casts Its shadow at their door.
Thousands and thousands hunger for
tho very products that have occasioned
this discussion, but In hundreds of In-
stances they are allowed to rot, and
decay, and that which Is so sacred to
producer anil consumer, becomes
worse than worthless, for the reason
that such relief Is not granted as has
been asked for. It Is certain that
greed can not be looked to for benefi-
cence, and railroads, and other com-
binations will Impoverish my country,
unless thy be controlled by a just and
rigid law. To the people who are now
suffering under an adverse decision
from a court that should have granted
them relief, I say, do not abandon tho
fight. That the relief asked for was
In every particular Just and legal, I ;
have not the slightest doubt, and that. I
It will be granted in tho future, I j
am equally positive. Standing upon ;
the principles of justice to all men, let j
us never yield one Inch of giound to a
privileged class.
To Commissioner Colquitt, who has
stood unafraid In the midst of all dif-
ficulties, surrounded by powerful In-
terests, that are seeking to drown the
voice he has raised In behalf of the
fruit and truck growers of Texas, I
extend the most heartfelt thanks. Re-
spectfully submitted,
