EAST ST. LOVIS, July 2 — This
city which was the ■' m of violent
anti-war aiul conscription drafts
again saw a recurrence of the
scenes late this afternoon, with the
mob in p< • .so*-.'ion of the city and
the town aflame with riot and fight
ing.
Five are known dead, many are
fatally wounded, police and militia
are powerless and reinforcements
have been urgently demanded with
the situation grave in the extrenn.
Til’" rioters are fully six thousand
and when an effort was made to
stop their demonstration upon the
part of the police they resisted with
energy all the efforts of the author
ities.
Three companies of militia join
ed efforts with the police to quell
the rioters but before the greater
numbers of the latter they were
completely powerless and the dis
orders continued into evening.
Martial law has been proclaimed
ami the city is now under military
government, hut until reinforce- i
ments arrive the authorities will ;
continue to he powerless. Shots ;
have been exchanged with the mi
litary and the interchange was ac
companied by tin1 above fatal re
sults as already enumerated. It is
confidently believed that with the
arrival of competent reinforcements
that order will be restored.

STATE ENDS CASE
QUITE ABRUPTLY
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.—The
prosecution suddenly and to the
astonishment of everyone, even
those who are pronounced sup
porters of Fickert closed its case
abruptly late this afternoon.
Oxnian was not called, nor was
any effort made lo Clear the man
of the perjury charge or the alle
gations of frame-up in the Mooney
case. The failure to call him is
regarded on all sides as an admis
sion of Osman's guilt
Todnv. all dav was devoted to ex
pert testimony of handwritting men
who swore that tHe documents
seized in the offices of the Blast
were in the hand writing of Alex
ander Beekmsui, the documents ar
alleged to have bet n connected
J with the activities in which Mooney
and Billings were concerned.
ft is obviously held that the trlai
of Mrs. Kena Mooney was an effort
to bolster up the prosecution and
conviction of Tom Mooney and
Billings rather than to prove tin?
guilt of Mrs. Mooney.
The case will go over Independ
ence Day and will likely be contin
ued on Thursday if no session is
held tomorrow, which so far is un
decided.
The defense has not intimated
how long their witnesses will take I
to place in their testimony. It is
likely that it will take much longer4
than has that of the state. Testi- j
ninny which will impeach Oxman I
may Ik called although Oxman did j
not testify.

SEATTLE, July 2.—The wets are
triumphantly pointing to the result
Df the first Sunday under hone dry
prohibition ns attested in the police
blotters of the city.
Thirty-four were arrested yester
day for drunkeness, the first bone
dry Sunday i<i the state as against
the average Sunday before such
prohibition of five. It is claimed
that the law will not work. The
drys say give the wets who get
drunk time to drink up their pri
vate stocks and the result will be
entirely different.
The first Sunday was hardly a
fair test, is readily admitted.

without a stop continued until it
plunged headlong into the surge of

admiringly gazing at not three se

No one can account for the ac

hundreds of pleasure seekers who
