The streets leading westward from the palace toward the position occupied by the rebels have been used lor parking the reserves of infantry, cavalry and artillery loyal to the government.

At the ends of those streets Federal out posts have been stationed and it Is expected that thc3e men will initiate the battle. The Alameda, the big central park of the capital, has been selected by the Federal commanders as tho mobilization point for the government troops. XT. S. Battleships Said Today for TIcxicnn Ports.

Boston, February 11-Rioting by th striking garment workers and an encounter with the police, the first lawlessness since tho strlko was declared ton days ago, occurred near the rear eutranco of a Washington street clothing house today. Several hundred strike sympathizers attacked employes of tho firm who hud refused to quit work as the latter were entering the building. The trouble began with Jostling and the use ot abusive language and soon culminated In a hundred fist fights. A large proportion of the crowd were women, and they battled as fiercely as the men. Several persons were painfully Injured, and Benjamin Wlncbcrg, 72 years old, one of tho workers, was seriously hurt.

Jane Foley, a particularly stalwart worker, gave blow for blow, until she was swept from her by sheer force of numbers. The arrival of polico reserves saved her from grave injury. Tile police dispersed the mob. but made only ons arrest. A strong force was detailed to patrol the district.

The trial of Charles Steinert and James White, formerly attached to Lieutenant Ileeker's "strong arm squad," who were Indicted for perjury In connection with the alleged "framing up" of "Big Jnok" Zellg, In a second avenue car, on May 12 last, has been Bet for next Thursday, before Justice, Goff and a Jury, In the Supreme Court In Manhattan.

Tho trial of Steinert and White has been adjourned several times at the request of AsBlstant District Attorney Frank Moss, who has been endeavoring to locate Jacob Greenberg, formerly an Inspoctor In tho Sewer Department, and who, It Is said, was located yesterday In Bridgeport, and mado known his willingness to testify In tho trial ot tho two mea. 4 -iViti Company Protests Against Having Its Employes Con-q verted. SPEAKERS SAID HARD THINGS About the Employing Company, It Is Alleged Both Sides Made a Great Noise Before Election, Soolaliit oratori and policemen, ag well aa offlcera ot tbe American Mauulacturlns Company, crowded Justice Garretaon'i nAa 4 injuociiun suit Drougot oj tne company, popularly known aa "The Jute against the Socialist party In Brooklyn, and Its offlcera, to prevent soclallatlc peechmaklnf In front of the plant at Noble and West streets. The suit being tried today recalls the noisy days before election, when a dozen or more policemen were necessary at the cordage works to keep a semblance ot order during these noon-day meetings. Ex-Congressman Thomas F.

Magner represents the cordage company and Lawyer Solomon F. Schwartz, the socialist party. The suit names thirteen defendants, all of them executive members ot the Brooklyn Socialist party. Edward Llndgren, the secretary. Is the principal defendant.

The cordage company complains that socialistic speakers had been In the habit ot standing under the company's windows at the noon hour and saying harsh things to the 2.000 employes about their employers. The testimony today had all to do with the crowds and the noise and the general hullabaloo ever since the Socialist party started Its campaign "ot education" among the cordage company's employes. William A. Gilllgen of 63 West Fifty-sixth street, Manhattan, a stenographer, who took notes of what the orators said, was a witness. So was David Martin, a retired baker, who lives In the neighborhood of the plant.

Martin said that he lived so near the hubbub that he could describe accurately the excitement and disorder, that began several months ago when ono ot the silver-tongued men of the Socialist persua-tlon began to make speeches. The employes naturally gathered about the orator, the witness said, and then the police had to be sent for to keep the Btreet clear. Martin also deschrlbed the rival noises made by the minions of the company, ss the Socialists claim. There was the playing of the hurdy gurdy, the brass band and the boiler riveting. It pretty effectually drowned out the voice of tho orator but was pretty hard on the nerves of the crowd.

Some of them 'couldn't hear themselves think," it was Bald. John Bopp of 119 Noble street, who had lived In the neighborhood of the plant for seven years, also described the turmoil near the plant, and Daniel O'Connell ot Llmhurst, a driver for the company, told ot tne trouble he was put to due to the crowds that gathered every noon hour in the streets adjacent to the nlant. All the witnesses were cross-examined vigorous ly oy sawyer Schwartz. The case Is still on. OBITUARY NOTES MICHAEU F.

Men Accused by Gambler Purcell Say They Never Accepted Graft From Him. One of the features of the Curren Investigation Committee prbe today was I he statement by Polled Lieutenant Domlnick Riley, that two of the eleven raids made by him during the three months he was In charge of a raiding squad, were In Brooklyn.

This elicited an Ironical exclamation of surprise from Mr. Buckner, who had heard pre vlously from lnipeclor Harkins that Brooklyn was "clean," and always had been. Two more men whose names had been mentioned by Gambler Janes Purcell In his story of g. aibllng graft appeared before the committee to deny the accusations. They were Michael J.

Cruise, Tammany leader In the Fourteenth As- tembly Dist-lct, Manhattan, and Joseph Brttton, chief agent of a Society for the Enforcement of the Criminal Law, To Cruise, Purrell had sworn, he had arranged to pay $50 a month "protection" while running a poolroom. To Brltton he had also paid money through a third party named Qulnlan, he said, while he was operating In Manhattan and In Long Island City. Both men positively denied Purcell's charges. Police Lieutenants Domlnick and Frank Rhlmlsh gave details of the work of gambling squads they formerly headed. It Is said suhpena servers for the committee are still unable to locate former Sheriff Harvey of Queens, who was also Implicated In the Purcell confession.

Cruise and Brittou Deny They Took: Purcell's Graft. Michael J. Cruise was the first witness. Mr. Cruise appeared voluntarily to deny that part of Gambler James Purcell's testimony, which Implicated him.

Purcell did speak to him about running a poolroom, ho declared, but he did not promise to help him or accept money to give him protection. The witness grew testy about being questioned concerning his primary fight but finally cooled down. Joseph A. Bntton was the next witness. Britton's name had also been brought In by Purcell as demanding "protection'' money.

Although he Is chief agent of the society. Mr. Brltton said that he Is the only agent at present. The head of the society, he said, was a former candidate for Governor of New York on the Prohibition ticket, and the secretary an undertaker In Brooklyn. The office of the society is at 45 John street.

Manhattan. Mr. Brltton drew roars of laughter by the quaintness of his replies. His Information regarding the work of the association, his salary and other de tails did not suit Mr. Buckner, and he threatened to send a man with the witness to subpena his books.

Mr. Brltton said he did not know where they were. Purcell was a stool pigeon of his, he said, and had perjured himself when he declared he paid him nny money. Brltton admitted that ho had been to Long Island City, not with Purcell but at his request, to get information against his rivals. "He says you went there to get money from him," said Mr.

rluckner. "When he said that he lied?" "What did you do with tho Information when you got It?" asked Alderman Downing. "1 forwarded It to the police officials of Long Island City, and I presume proper action was taken agalnBt them." "Why didn't you squeal on Purcell?" "Never kill tho goose that lays the golden egg," replied the witness. The witness said he would be glad to help the committee further despite Mr. Buckner's "unfair" questions.

Lieutenant Domlnick Riley, who was for years attached to headquarters, and for a few months headed a raiding squad, was then called. Riley Says Raids Included Places In Brooklyn. Riley declared that he was at the head of a raiding squad for ninety days. During this time he made eleven raids and got between thirty-live and forty prisoners. This was last May.

Riley was told to go anywhere In Greater New York and get evidence against gambling. "You think that gambling can be permanently suppressed, then?" he was asked. "Yes; I think the methods pursued by Commissioner Waldo during tho past eighteen niontha have been very effective." The witness declared the biggest portion of his raids were made in Inspector Cahalane's district. "I also made raids In Brooklyn," volunteered the witness. "Oh, Is that so," demanded Buckner.

"Can you tell The witness mentioned an address on Bartlett street, Williamsburg, and another In Coney Island near tho Ocean Parkway. Lieutenant Frank Rhelnlsh, who Is now attached to the One Hundred and Fiftieth Precinct. Brooklyn, said he had succeeded Lieutenant Charles Becker In charge of the "Strong-Arm Squad," holding that position from July 22 to August 20. 1912. Ho made eighteen raids on disorderly houses, but only one gambling houBe raid.

Harvey Also Denies Purcell's Accusations. Former Sheriff of Queens County Her bert S. Harvey Issued a statement from his home In Flushing today, in which he declared the accusations against him made by Purcell were false; that he had not yet been suhpenacd as a witness that he was willing to appear and testify, but that he knew nothing about the vice situation. He admitted that he had heard of Purcell. but denied that he had ever had any dealings with him.

He said that he was in Flushing Friday night, all day Saturday and all day Sunday, and that It would have been an easy matter for the process servers to have found him. On Sunday night, ho said, he left for Washington with Harry B. Peace, to attend to some matters In connection with the First National Bank of Flushing. They returned to Flushing las.t night at 9 o'clock. Mr.

Harvey dcclnred that he had made no attempt to evedo service nor would he In the future. "Purcell must have been crazy or have been Imposed upon," I never knew him Intimately, nor had any dealings with him as he alleged. Some newspapers said thot a process server had left a subpena on my front stoop. None of my family have found such a subpena 1 That was no way to serve It anyway. hut I would have taken notice of It had It been done.

My home has never been closed up since this affair began. I have been In Flushing with the exception of twenty-four hours all the tl.ne the Investigation has been In progress, and I Intend to stay hero. If they wint me they can servo me any time."

Postmaster Dismissed When He Failed to Contribute to National Campaign Fund. SENT LETTER TO HITCHCOCK. Falling to Fork Over, Camp Was Dropped From Service for 'Incompetency." Washington, February 11 With the examination ot Postmaster Thomas J. Camp of Beebc.

the State Campaign Funds Committee today launched into an Inquiry ot the campaign of 1912. Mr. Camp was the first witness Interrogated In regard to campaign funds raised or expended between the time of the nominating conventions of last year and the presidential election. Details ot an assessment upon officeholders in Arkansas by the Republican State Committee were described by Camp, who said he recently had been compelled to resign under protest as postmaster at Beebe, Ark. Camp produced letters signed by Gordon H.

Campbell, treasurer of the Republican Stale Committee, demaudlug a contribution of Camp observed that that was 3 per cent, ot his salary and he did not make the contribution. He sent the first letter to Postmaster General Hitchcock, be said, asking whether he would be removed It he failed to comply with the request. He received no ans wer, he said, but In November and De cember received leters from First As sistant Postmaster General Grauiifleld demanding his resignation. Reports of to Inspectors were sain by the Postofllce Department to huve formed the basis for the demand, but Camp, sending his resignation under protest, declared he had been the victim of a conspiracy. The Postofllce Department charged him with being incompetent, failing to treat patrons properly, not employing sudlclent help and discharging an employe without cause.

The letters presented to the committee bv Camp were all signed in fac similo ot Gordon Campbell's handwritings, and wero In general form with the amount and the name of the addressee filled in. On each envelope was the following notice In large type: "Notice This letter not to be opened in a building occupied by the Government in the transaction ot oiDclaT business." One letter dated September 24, 1912, referred to the need lor money in the national campaign and said In part: "You were called on in a previous letter to contribute $33 to the campaign fund. Up to date I have received no re mittance. Why should you not have enough hearty patriotism to respond to this call as others In our party have re sponded; not only those who are holding office, but those who are not holding office who believe In the principles of tho party and who want to see the present administration and splendid prosperity continued? I trust you will not require mo to write you another letter, but will respond at once, so that we can render the necessary aid to the national committee." Another letter, also signed with the rubber stamp signature of Mr. Campbell and dated October 8, 1012, said In part: "I regret exceedingly that you havi failed to respond to my urgent and re peated request for financial aid In the present campaign.

I hope to receive by return mall your remittance of Please do not compel mo to make another call. A Republican reaping ths fruits of prosperity, brought about by our party's policies, Is to my mind an literate when lie refuses to aid his party when oid Is needed." Camp showed letters he had leceived in 1910 asking him to contribute His salary was then $1,200. The letter to hiro was in a letter to his wife with the admonition to her not to make the delivery ot the letter to the postmaster "In a Dullillng used as a postofnoe or other government office." Camp Cj. made the contribution, he said, and told the committee that he had understood from Inspectors who had examined his ofilce that affairs were In good shape. Inspector Wynne had told him, he declared, that he could "go into almost any poi-t- office and rake up enough irregularity to put any postmaster out of business." Camp testified that the Inspection of his cfrioe had been trade before any of tho letters v.cro received soliciting his campaign contribution.

He could recall no visit of an inspector after he received and failed to answer the campaign funds request. WILLS FILED TODAY. H'lUJASI r. I.AI10N, died January is, 1313, by will of March 17. law, divides a lame estate among relatives.
