RIOTS RESULT IN
MANY ARRESTED
BAYONNE, Oct. 17.—The effort
upon the part of hired strike
breakers to stampede the workers
of the Tidewater refineries precipi
tated desperate rioting between the
police and the strikers as well as
the gunmen.
Two pitched batles were fought,
the gunmen enticing the strikers
close to the tide water plant where
they opened up a machine gun fire
upon them but the guns jammed.
Then the strikers stormed the re
fineries and it is alleged that they
attempted to burn down the plant.
Fire Department employees, po
lice, deputies and gunmen mixed in
a desperate battle around the plant,
guns and weapons of every descrip
tion 4>eing used in the astounding
melee.
Further crowds of deputies are ar
riving in the city to preserve order
and the refineries are now literally
a well furnished arsenal with
weapons of all calibers ready for
any attack.
In the second pitched battle the
police and gunmen got finally the
upper hand and seventeen strikers
have been arrested charged with var
ious offenses.
It is estimated that about sixty
have been injured some so seriously 1
that they will die.
BAYONNE, Oct. 17.—With a
powerful force of police and depu
ties preventing any gathering ot
strikers, closing meeting halls and
picketting, the situation is quiet. It
is believed that the strike has been
finally broken although none have
returned to work.
Prepare for the winter by patron

course, portrays the title role, and
the screen impersonation of this de

OBSERVERS CLAIM
WILSON IS STRONG
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Wilson is
now favorite in the election betting
in this city. Observers claim that,
there is a republican slump in the
middle west, particularly Ohio and
Indiana where Labor’s defection is
alarming and unfavorable. It is
claimed that a Wilsonian landslide
is now certain unless the swing
Wilsonwards is stopped.
Noted republicans are planning
the invasion of the doubtful states.
Roosevelt’s W’ilkesbarre speech,
'admitted the most powerful deliver- ]
ed on the republican side, is de
clared to have failed with the min
ers. Scores of banners were in
scribed “We Love You Teddy but
will Vote for Wilson and Eight
Hours.”
Frank P. Walsh, the former
chairman of the Industrial delations
Commission says that labor is derid
ing the Roosevelt efforts to swing
the lahorites in line. They no long
er fall for his discredited bait.
MITCHELL, S. D., Oct. 17.—Gov
ernor Hughes is here today. He is
considerably trimmed by his politi
cal exertions and the lines on his
face confess fatigue at the strenu
ous work. In this speecn he pointed
out the vast increase which had
taken place in the export trade was
due entirely to war, and had been
accompanied by a falling revenue.
Most of his remarks today were
confined to the necessity of a re
publican protective tariff. Hughes
is continuing his trip.
SEE STRATEGY OF VETERAN
IN TEUTON OUKOWINA DRIVE
LONDON, Oct. 17.—Military ex
perts see the strategy of Von Hin
denberg in the Teuton attacks in
south Bukowina where they are at
tempting to wedge the Russians on
the northwestern frontier of Ru
mania. Petrograd reports strong
Teuton attacks in this section.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 17.—After an
artillery attack of huge dimensions
I the joint forces of Austria and Ger
! many attacked the Russians heavilj
southeast of Halicz. They also
launched assaults north of Korintza.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 17.—Teuton
claims of a crushing defeat of the
Russians southeast of Halicz are
wholly unwarranted, the fighting
still proceeding without any serious
results. General Lechitsky was not
taken unawares and has had time
to prepare for the Teuton attacks
which have long since been indicat
ed in this section.
BERLIN, Oct. 17.—Reports are
given out tonight that the German
and Austrian combined attacks
upon the Russians south and east ot
Halicz have been attended by mark
ed success, the Russians retiring and
leaving the Teutons in possession,
many prisoners v, ere taken.
LONDON, Oct. 17.—The situation
in Bukowina and Galicia indicates
an attempt to completely isolate Ru
mania from Russia.

his inconsistencies and duplicity. His

applause extended to him.
There was quite a large bunch ol
old time Wickershamites present,
but they took no exception to his
remarks which were to the point
and which were supported by glean
ings from the records.
It is the opinion here that Grigsby
will carry this place and he made a
considerable number of votes for
Sulzer. Cobb never was a serious
factor here and the First Division
raw is between Schofield and Grigs
by. The former is said to be lo ~ig
votes rapidly as his Seattle residence
is becoming known. Anti-Schofield
men are spreading the pictures oC
the republican nominee with his
Seattle residence in pamphlets
everywhere and have started to use
this far all it is worth. Schofield is
j expected to stir things up here be
fore the close of the campaign.

SEATTLE, Oct. 17.—Local labor

the greater part of the summer un
til near the close when to recuperate
and rejuvenate himself after his la
bors, he took in the Hot Springs for
a spell. It was most beneficial he
feels, and a fitting way of conclud
ing an arduous summer.
