LESS RIOTING TO-DAY CAUSES DELAY IN CALL FOR NATIONAL GUARD Three Dead, Two Wounded and a Thousand Injured Is Toll Up to Date of Philadelphia Lawlessness. MORE SHOTS FIRED AT CARS. Move to Have a Parade of 100,000 Men- of General Strike Rests With Each Trade Philadelphia, February 23-Three dead, two lying at the point of death in hospitals and more than a thousand persons injured, is the exacted the reign of lawlessness has existed in this tolled city for three days. Over 1,000 persons have been arrested for rioting and 36 have already been indicted by the Grand Jury. Unlike the days, this morning opened just enough preceding, crispness in the air to make one feel like walking, whether or not it was a matter of preference.

The failure of the State Fencibles, an independent military organization, to intimidate the strike sympathizers in the northeastern section of the city yesterday was the basis of a conference which was called for to-day between Governor Stuart. Adjutant, General Stewart, Brigadier General Bowman and Mayor Reyburn. The day's developments and this conference will decide whether the entire National Guard of Pennsylvania shall be called out, or whether the police authorities shall be given further time in which to demonstrate their ability to cope with the situation. It is understood that Mayor Reyburn is anxious for the governor to call upon the state troops, but Director of Public Safety Clay opposed to this procedure. The director is anxious that the state police, an experienced mounted organization, which has done effective duty in different parts of the state, should first be called upon.

There are, only two hundred men in this organization, but they are the pick of the of the caliber not easy to intimidate. Governor Stuart left for Harrisburg at 10 A.M. Before leaving the governor, who is a Philadelphian, said that he had not received a call from the mayor for state troops. If such a call is received and properly signed by the mayor and the sheriff, be said he would give the matter his careful attention. If an order for troops is issued, he added, it would come from the executive department at the state capital, Thus far the rioters have made street cars then principal objects of their attacks.

northeastern section of the city and Market street, under the very eyes of the Mayor, have been the main scenes of their operations. In the southern part of Philadelphia, where on the opening day of the strike several cars were attacked and one burned, quiet now reigns. Dynamite was used last night in a car barn in the northwestern section, where fifteen policemen were asleep. Fortunately, no one was injured. Parade of 100,000 Workmen Planned.

The fact that the sympathetic strike was not declared by President John J. Murphy of the Central Labor Union acted as a panacea to the tired police officials of the city, who were anticipating a strike of 100,000 men. A move is on foot, however, to have the sympathizers of the striking street railway employes parade peacefully to the City Hall. 100.0000 strong, and thereby show the Mayor and other officials the gigantic proportions of the threatened uprising, should it later be decided to call out these men. The decision not to have this army of workers engage in the struggle at present was due to Organizer Clarence O.

Pratt of the Street Car Men's Union. He pointed out to Murphy that the time was not opportune for this move, and the union leader decided to take the advice of Pratt and defer calling out the union sympathizers. The right of Murphy to call a general strike of all trades unions affiliated with the Central Labor Union is disputed by a majority of local labor leaders. A careful investigation of the situation shows that Murphy as head of the Central Labor Union has no power to order a general strike, but is only vested with the authority to suggest one. It then rests with each trade union to act upon the matter.

Unions can declare sympathetic strikes without suggestion from the Central Labor organization. There are some unions that would not agree to a general sympathetic strike, it is said, because would involve the breaking of won trade agreements with employers who are innocent parties in the present trouble. More Cars in Operation To-day. At 9 o'clock the traction ancompany nounced that it nad 554 cars in operation, or 37 more than at the same hour yesterday. This number, it was stated, would be increased during the day to 800.

The company also announced that it had enough men to man 1,400 cars if the city could provide sufficient police protection. As one and two policemen are on each car the company says the city is not in a position to furnish protection to all the cars and at the same time take care of the general police situation. The number of cars normally operated is 1.800. The traction company opened its Frankford line for the first time since the strike started, and a company officiall said that four or five important lines may be put in operation to-night. This, he said, depends upon developments to Since last Saturday night no curs have been operated after 6 P.M.

In defining its position on the suggestion to settle the strike by mediation, an official the company to-day said that under no consideration will the company entertain such a- plan. "We have heard that United Staes. Senator Penrose will be asked to lend his good offlees to end the strike. That fact would never lead us to consider any interference or mediation from outside parties in a dispute which is not at all an issue in which the public I 0:.11 be concerned. In the language of George H.

Earle, a director of the company, 'anarchy cannot be The Rapid Tranrit Company gave official notice to that the city would be held responsible for all losses sustained by the company in the wrecking of its cars. The stock of window glass in the city! suitable for car windows has been. exhausted, the company announced to-day, and no more broken windows be repip until more glass is secured. More than 2,000 windows were broken yester- day, runnng the total for the four days of the strife to well over 5,000. Shooting at Cars.

What might have been a serious shootling affair occurred at Forty -fourth street Lancaster avenue, in West Philadelphia, about 9 o'clock. Two cars, coupled together and carrying twelve passengers and two policemen. was fired upon by an unidentified standing at a street corner. With firnt shot the passengers. that who were on the lookout for trouble, and four of whom were women, sprawled themselves on the floor of the conveyance until the fusillade was over.

Then the policemen gave chase, but the man got away. The third death as a result the confict between the police and strike, sympathizers occurred to-day, John E. Heugh, 18 years old, died in the Samaritan Hospital. A policeman who was protecting a motorman in the operation of a car as it was passing north of Germantown avenue at Westmoreland street, saw boys throwing stones at the ear. The policeman opened On them and one bullet struck Heugh in the neck.

The boy was not believed to be mortally wounded, but his condition took a turn for the worse during the night. Heugh is the boy who in an ante-mortem statement to the coroner said he was one of an organized gang of 150 carpet mill employes who had agreed to assemble and attack cars.

Philadelphia, February 23-That the tacks, on trolley cars, in the northeastern section were, number of cases, planned by a gang of boys is shown by the ante-mortem. statement made last night by one of the youths shot in yesterday's rioting.

Ordered Not to Use Arms. Philadelphia, February 23-Major Thurber T. Brazier commander of the State Fencibles, the military command, with which a big holiday crowd had sport in Kensington late yesterday afternoon, today made the following statement: "If anyone of our men had fired into that crowd yesterday he would have been annihilated by the mob.

Practical jokes of every description were played upon the members of the Fencibles.

Some were partially stripped of their clothing. and after their arms had been taken from them were chased up and down the streets by bands of young roughs. Tin cans were stuck on the ends of their bayonets. and the girls ol the district collected the brass buttons from the uniforms as souvenirs. One young girl stuck a hat pin in a soldier's back, which caused him to jump and the crowd to laugh, CONSTABULARY MOBILIZED State Troops Ready to Proceed to Philadelphia.

Says That Husband Attempted to Support His Family on Five Dollars a Week Salary.

Because $5 a week was not sufficient income to support a family of three and maintain a home, Mrs. Annie Bennett, who lives with her husband at 1079 DeKalb avenue; took the child, a 9-monthsold baby girl, and went to the Ralph avenue police station to-day. She was in a state of utter exhaustion from lack of a food, and said she had not eaten in three days. The baby had been two days without food. The little woman, who years old, and has been married less than two years, almost collapsed in front of Lieutenant Bonner at the station and could scarcely tell her story.

Mrs. Bennett said that when they were married her husband had a good position and was earning a good salary. He thought, however. that there was little change of bettering himself, and he decided to learn a trade. He gave up his position, said his wife, and went to work at $5 a week, learning a trade.

He used 60 cents a week out of his $5 for carfare and the remainder practically all went for rent, she says. Lieutenant Bonner was moved by the story and before long he and Detective Dwyer had taken' up a collection among the policemen for the young mother. They did not count the money, when they gave it to her. but figured that it was equivalent to three weeks pay of the husband. Mrs.

Bennett was in such a condition that she had to be taken to the Bushwick Hospital. STRIKERS FIRE SUGAR FIELDS. Point-a-Pitre. Guadeloupe, February 23 -During a clash between the sugarcane cutters who are strike and the soldiers. three strikers were killed and several wounded.

Furlong's fight to exonerate himself from charges that he had been corrupt as a police magistrate, by entering into an agreement to take money for favorable decisions to those A "giving began this morning in earSupreme Court before Justice Kapper, with a strenuous battle of between the district attorney's officeand Furlong's counsel. On the one side District Attorney Clarke and his first assistant. Mr. Elder, were the generals, and Furlong's champions were W. Bourke Cockran, the famous political orator; Congressman Henry Goldfogle and Martin T.

Manton. The preliminary skirmish to-day is to get jurors that favor neither one side or the other. Seldom has a criminal trial in Kings County caused such interest as that of Magistrate Henry J. Furlong, Put on Trial To-day. Furlong's and the courtroom was crowded to its capacity long before Justice Kapper went on the bench.

work of getting a jury was necessarily slow each talesman standing a long and critical examination. Mr. Clarke didn't want anybody mixed up in the politics of East New York, and Furlong's lawyers favored those who hadn't happened to read or hear anything about the case against Furlong. As this condition of mind also struck Mr. Clarke favorably who hadn't heard of the case the jury rather more those.

easily than those who had. But it was past noon before the first ten were accepted. Will Take Precautions to Prevent Mistrial. During the work of selecting a jury the examination of the talesmen by Messrs. Clarke and Elder appeared significant of their intention to provide against every sort of a possible contingency that might make a mistrial.

Each man summoned into the witness box was asked whether he had been approached since he got his jury notice by any one with any sort of information that the Furlong case might come before him in court to This examination went to such lengths, though negative in each instance, as to justify the belief prevalent in the court room that the district attorney intends to ask that the jury be kept together until the trial finished, and their verdiet given. Nothing, however, was intimated by the prosecution while the jurors were being examined. Nothing of special moment, outside of the showing of care taken by both sides, happened during the morning until the name, of Frank P. Marshall was called. Almost everybody in the courtroom recognized the famous chess champion, but Furlong's, attorneys didn't.

GRAVES CASHED CHECK But Wouldn't Allow Dog in His House. Mrs. Marion Says She Paid in Advance, but Pet Was Barred Out of Rooms. Mrs. Jeanne B.

Marion had Edward E. Graves of 161 Remsen street summoned to the Adams street court this morning 10 find out why Mr. Graves had cashed her check for $11.50 and had kept the money, presumably to apply to his personal use. Mrs. Marion is a determined little person, a member of the bar, a woman of affairs, who has had much public experience as a stenographer in the United States District Attorney's office, where she served a long term before she became a for -truly Portia.

Mrs. Marion asserts that Graves rents furnished rooms in the Remsen street house. She had been in Morristown, N. and wanted to resume her residence in Brooklyn. Prior to going to Morristown she had lived at the Hotel St.

George, with her son, but there was some objection to the presence of the pet dog of the household, and SO Mrs. Marion has been put about a bit because the pet is not wanted. The Marion family consists of the boy and the dog, his own property. Mrs. Marion went to the Remsen street house one day last week and hired two rooms.

Then, on the 16th instant, she mailed from Morristown A letter saying that she and her son and her dog and the luggage would arrive on Saturday. She sent a check for the first week's lodging in advance, and on Saturday she got a letter in reply from Mr. Graves saying that he would not take a dog in the house, and telling her that she must seek lodgings elsewhere. He did not return the check, and Mrs. Marion says she learned later that he had collected the money.

On Monday morning Mrs. Marion went to. the Adams street court and Magistrate, Tighe gave her a summons for Graves. Graves was there. but his explanation did not suit, and so a warrant was issued for his arrest on a charge of illegally retaining the amount of the check.

Hearing was postponed on that, his plea of not guilty, and he was paroled. $144,000 BANK DEFALCATION Shortage of Bookkeeper Causes Cambridge Institution to Close.

-Adv. WIFE CLINGS TO FEUD EVEN AFTER HER DEATH Notice of Woman's Demise Revives Trouble With Husband That Split Family. "UNBELOVED" HER LAST PLEA. But Court Records Show Man Had Many Woes to Combat in House. DIED-On Sunday, February 20, of broken heart, May, unbeloved wife of Thomas Jenks.

Funeral services February 24, 2 P.M.. at her late residence. 349 Haw- thorne street, Flatbush. Interment at Greenwood. In this manner the notice of the death of Mrs.

Jenks given Eagle Thomas, the woman's daughter, Miss Ida May Jenks. Simultaneoualy Miss Jenks told a tale of marital woe, and stated that it was her mother's dying wish that in the notice be inserted the word "unbeloved." The daughter represented that the domestic infelicity between her mother and father had brought on her mother's death. She was taken ill last Wednesday, and died Sunday evening. The father was not living at home, said Miss Jenks, and had not been at the house since his wife's death. "He is living in East Eleventh street, believe." said woman, "but do not know the number.

do not on wish him to come to the house. It was wish he should not be permitted 10 upon her face that, her death. She died of a broken heart." How Trouble Started in Family. Much of the turbulence in the Jenks family is a matter of court record, the couple having figured in cases brought in the Flatbush police court, the Court of Special Sessions and the Supreme Court. In September, 1905, Mrs.

Jenks brought suit for separation and $20 a week alimony in the Supreme Court. She lost the suit. Justice Marean dismissed the complaint before the woman had all her evidence on the record. The Court remarked, in cutting the case short. that the language of the woman and the testimony in her behalf was not fit to be permitted to continue, and were such as to warrant that the case be thrown out.

The outcome was a complete victory for the defendant husband, who was represented by Lawyer William Adams Robinson. The woman, in her complaint, had alleged that her husband had called her "vile and indecent names, and assaulted and threatened to assault and kill her. and was uniformly cruel and inhuman in 'his treatment" of her. Among other things, the woman alleged: "That on the 10th day of August, 1905, he threatened to strike me and called me vile and indecent names, and but for the timely interference of his friend. Peter Hochschwender, he would have assaulted mne.

That because Hochschwender protected me against his assault, my hugband seized a carving knife and threatened to kill Mr. Hochschwender. That while protecting himself against my husband's assault, Mr. Hochschwender struck my husband, and for his reward was subsequently arrested on a warrant issued the inetance husband. That 011 this occasion my husband became SO terrible that.

I feared for my life and I was compelled to seek shelter the mother of Mr. Hochschwender, with whom I remained over night. When my husband discovered that I was stopping with Mre. Hochschwender he stood in front of the house and cursed and swore at Mrs. Hochschwender and myself and threatened to kill me if I made my appearance." All this was unqualifiedly denied by Mr.

Jenks, and he submitted allegations that Mrs. Jenks was too friendly with Hochschwender. a plumber and tinsmith, that she had him and other men at the house in the husband's absence, and that she received presents from men, notably neighbor named Thomas Gibson. He remonstrated with her, he declared, and this led to many disputes. "In December, 1904." Jenks deposed, "this Hochschwender made her a present of handbag.

I told her that she had no right to take it from him or any other man, then she became very angry and we had another wordy dispute. In the evening of August 10. 1905. this man, Hochschwender. was at my house while my wife was there.

I ordered him to leave the house and not, to come back any more. He refused to go. I told him was going for a policeman to make him go. He is a big powerful man, young and active, perfectly strong enough and capable of killing me. As I went to go out of the door to get the policeman he said.

'Take that, you and struck me violent blow with his fist in the eye. knocking me down. He then kicked me and struck me other various blows about my face, head and body. My wife saw all this and made no outery whatsoever for the police or help. and did not endeavor in any way to stop him or assist me." Suit Over Beating of Husband.

Jenks had the man arrested, but at the Special Sessions trial Mrs. Jenks testifled against her husband. Later Mr. Jenks brought a civil action to recover $2,000 from the man, and the suit was compromised out of court. In his defense of the separation suit Mr.

Jenks alleged that while they lived at 400 East Eleventh street, Flatbush, his wife at various times threw such things at him, with good aim, as a metal statuette, a carving knife and fork, and a bottle of ink. He also told of vile language used by her against him. After the suit was decided in the husband's favor, the couple lived together for some time. She subsequently had him arrested on the charge of non-support, and the case was adjusted by signing of separation papers, and the payment to her of a small allowance. Mr.

and Mrs. Jenks were married thirty years ago in Birmingham. England, and she was then only 14 years old. Their only child is Ida May Jenks, who is now 22 years old. Thomas Jenks, the husband and father, was employed for a long time as superintendent in a clock manufacturing establishment in South Brooklyn.

Ten years ago he bought the East Eleventh street house, and had the deed made out in the name of his She later sold the house, and bought two houses in Hawthorne street, in one. ct which she has been living. The daughter said to-day that her mother last week had a premonition that she would not live long. and she made a will in which she left all her property to the daughter. The daughter, proposes to move to New Jersey, she has friends.

STOKES' WILL NOW VALID $1,000,000 for the Education of Whites, Indians and Negroes. Document Was Invalid, but Heirs Signed an Agreement to Carry Out Its Provisions. Justice Gerard, in the Supreme Court in Manhattan to-day, approving an by agreement entered into by the heirs ot the late Mrs. Caroline Phelps Stokes, permits a clause in her will, though admittedly invalid, to be carried out. The clause bequeathed about $1,000,000 for the education of whites, Indians and negroes.

The estate left by Mr. Stokes is valued at about $1.400.000.

CLUB UNWELCOME VISITOR Magistrate Naumer Expounds Law for Two Women. Two Women Quarrel and One Won't Leave Other's House- Rollingpin Handy. If any one whom you don't like comes into your house and makes himself herself objectionable by seeking to run things to suit himself or herself, you, good housewife, have a right to grab up a rolling-pin and use it hard enough to make your unwelcome visitor remember the incident for one week.

Gallagher had a baby in her arms as the women stood before Magistrate Naumer while he hearkened unto Mrs. Weis' tale of woe.

ALLDS TOOK PLATT'S ORDERS, New Charges May Be Called to Attention of State Prosecutors-Allds Resigns as President Union. Pro Tem. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, February 23-Martin W.

Littleton, counsel for Senator Allds, accused by Senator Conger of having accepted a bribe of $1.000 for killing a bridge bill in 1901, closed his opening address to the Senate at 1 o'clock to-day with the following declaration, which is now being repeated all through the Capitol: "Let this be war to the knife, and knife to the hilt, and let the fittest survive. Let us see if a corrupt gang of bridge thieves, led by a man who is A confessed bribe-giver, can strike down a man who stood honestly and fearlessly in their way." This came at the end of a long denunciation of the bridge interests of which, said Mr. Littleton, dramatically shaking his finger at Senator Conger, "this gentleman is the representative, and his brother, whom he cast the slime upon, is in his grave." The opening address throughout was an appeal to the Senate and the public to judge this case upon the character of the two men, bearing in mind the long and honorable record of Allds, and the "trail of corruption" of the bridge trust. Over and over again Littleton referred to the "slimy tactics" of the bridge interests, and hear the close he quoted from a special message of President Roosevelt to Congress, directed against, the American Bridge Company and the Groton Bridge Company, among others, by name. will show you, spread over this state and five neighboring states," said Mr.

Littleton, most gigantic scheme of swindling and looting of which this man (indicating Senator Conger) and his brother were the heads. They looted town after town and corrupted and debauched town officers where (bey could and they intended at all hazards to protect this scheme of loot when it was threatened by legislation." Littleton Says Bills Were Introduced to Break the Hold of the Bridge Trust. Mr. Littieton said that he would show that the bills introduced in the Legislature from 1901 on, which the bridge companies opposed, were not "strike bills," but were good, honest attempts to break the hold of the bridge trust and the Congers on towns of the state. He reviewed the history of these bills, and said that he would call the authors of them to the stand.

Alll along. he affirmed. Senator Allds. his client, had been fighting for good legislation to correct, thesent evils, and his action in to the highway bill in 1901, for which Conger charged he accepted a bribe, was due solely to the request of Senator Platt, the party leader of the Republican or: ganization in this state. He said that Allds would not sold his honor for $1,000 and put himself forever into the power of the corrupt bridge interests, tied hand and foot.

His subsequent activity against the bridge trust showed that he was not delivered at that time, he pointed out. "Cleveland Agreement" of Bridge Companies. Perhaps the most interesting, if not the most important, part of Littleton's opening speech was his expose of the "Cleve. land agreement" of the bridge companies, by which they bound themselves absolutely to divide all profits in the bridge business in several states. The Home Bridge Company usually was the a'nd always submittedthe lowest bid on work to be done.

But all other companies which submitted bids, got a "rake off" which was all equal part of one -half of the profits ou the job. This "rake was duly entered on the books which Mr. Littleton had procured from one of the bridge companies by some occult means, as "cost of plans." "Engineering," was the item in the books, by which the companies covered up "that portion of the loot" paid to the town officials for the "privilege of doing the work." said Mr. Littleton, and he read from his memoranda to show how this was figured out. It seemed to amount to about 10 per cent, of the contract price of the bridge.

Rumor That Littleton Charges May Be Brought to Attention of Prosecution, Mr. Littleton's declarations created a. sensation behind which the charges against Allds were for the time forgotten and set speculation at work with a rumor that Littleton's charges may be called to the attention of the state and county prosecutors as soon 38 the developments of the present inquiry furnish sufficient evidence. From Littleton's opening, in which he deliberately avolded any reference to the detailed story of Moe and Conger, as to theeircumstances of the bribe scene, and the envelopes, it is though that the whole defense will rest upon an attack oll the bridge companies and Senator Couger's character as their representative. Littleton referred to the tale told by Conger and -Moe as one.

of "unblushing effrontery" and as an attempt to strike down an honest leader with knife in the back," but did not once mention one of the details of their story. Allds Resigns as President Pro Tem. At the outset of the investigation today Allds announced through his attorney that he had resigned as president. pro tem. of the Senate.

He did this, he explained, so that Senate might not be embarrassed in the consideration of his case by constitutional requirement that the temporary president could the ousted only -by impeachment proceed-.
