PERTH AMBOY. N. J., June 15.
With four dead and twelve others
wounded by bullets fired by armed dep
uties in the strike war, a state ap
proaching absolute anarchy prevailed
here today and the declaration of mar
tial law, enforced by the national
guard, was imminent. Rioting, which
broke out at 8 o’clock last night, was
in progress all night, with 500 deputies
and armed private detectives guarding
the plant of the American Smelting and
Refining Company from the fury of
2,000 men reinforced by frenzied wom
en and boye.
The scene of the fighting is in the
factory district in North Amboy. The
fighting was carried on in the glare of
the fires set by the rioters. Attempt
after attempt was made to burn the
high board fence surrounding the $lO,-
000.000 smelting plaht.
After being driven off by the guards,
who shot to kill, rioters broke into a
car today, and obtained a quan
tity of dynamite and giant powder. The
b-wiuthoriVes fear that they will resort to
Jbontb throwing.
1 Long Range
Battle AH Night.
Many of the strikers armed them
selves with rifles and revolvers and
took refuge in buildings, where they
returned the fire of the guards. This
long range battle raged intermittently
all night. During lulls in the fighting
rioters made renewed attempts to bum
the plant. In their fury some of the
mob attacked property of other indus
trial interests in no way connected
with the strike. Os the dead two were
shot to death in the night fighting,
bringing the total to four. Two others
had been killed yesterday.
About midnight deputy sheriffs mis
took for rioters a crowd of young men
who had gathered in State street to
hear the latest news from the battle
and fired on them. Seven were wound
• ed.
Gatling guns capable of dealing out
death to hundreds have been mounted
on two tanks of the Barber Asphalt
Company in the center of the storm
district.
Appeal Made to
Governor Wilson.
Business men. fearful of what the fu
ture will bring forth, today appealed to
Governor Wilson to order out the state
troops.
Chief of Police Burke of Perth Am
boy has received news of a plot to raid
the city next Monday. According to
this information, a band of rioters in
tends swooping down on the city Mon
day morning and looting the stores and
dwellings unless the strike is settled
before that time.

ELOPING Pi
FLEE GUY;
FORFEIT
BONDS
Mrs. Ruth Webb Winn and
Soul Mate Fail to Appear in
Atlanta Court.
Pretty Mrs. Ruth Webb Winn, the
Texas girl-wife who eloped to this city
only to be arrested, fled the city with
her companion, Rene Coward, today.
Jumping their bond in recorder’s court.
Coward forfeited $250 cash bond
through his failure to appear to an
swer the charge of disorderly conduct,
and Mrs. Winn lost the SIOO which
Coward put up to Insure her appear
ance to answer the same accusation.
The landlady at 66 Houston street,
where the couple had been living since
they ran away from El Paso, Texas,
said Coward called at her house last
night alone, paid the board bill that had
accrued and, saying that he must
change his residence without delay, re
moved the two trunks and suit cases
which made up their baggage and went
> away without a word as to his plans.
GIRL DID NOT APPEAR
AT BOARDING HOUSE.
The landlady says that the girl did
not appear at the house after the bonds
had been fixed last night.
Detectives are searching for the pair
in the faint hope that they are some
where in hiding in the city, but fur
ther prosecution is improbable. In view
of their forfeiture of the bonds.
After the failure of the couple to ap
pear before Recorder Broyles this
morning. Chief Beavers sent a tele
gram to Coward's former home at Vic
toria, Texas, asking if the man was
wanted there for any misdemeanor.
; The reply said that while Coward was
born there and is well known in the
1 vicinity, there is no charge outstanding
against him that the town marshal
knows of.
Apparently Mrs. Winn’s father, editor
of a Teague, Texas, newspaper, has
cast her off entirely since the elope
ment. Yesterday the young woman
wired her father to come to Atlanta
and appear today In her behalf when
the ease against Coward and herself
came to trial. This highly unsympa
thetic message came from Teague:
’’Telegram and payment refused. No
i answer.”
i Along with the couple on their sec
ond elopement goes the toy poodle,
“Snookums," which was given back to
Mrs. Winn when she gave bond.
I Said She Preferred
Jail to Husband.
Detectives of the local police de
partment who made the arrests be
lieved the young woman was prepared
to tell a wholly different story upon
the witness stand today than in her
first version, when she said that the
' love affair with Coward, which culmi
. nated in the elopement, began in a
moving picture show at San Antonio.
She said yesterday that she would
’ rather go back to the stockade than to
1 her real husband, and the police be
i lieve that Coward induced her to a sec
ond runaway last night after she had
called vainly upon her ftather for help.
So far as Coward’s financial trans
actions In Atlanta are concerned, the
detectives are compelled to admit they
were perfectly legitimate. The SSOO
I check he cashed at a local bank'was
, backed up by large deposits in his name
in Texas institutions. He declared, be
' fore disappearing, his side of the story,
when aired dn court, would show that
he was in no wise to blame for the
elopement.

CADDIES OBJECT TO
CUSSING BY GOLFERS
AND CALL A STRIKE
PHILADELPHIA. June 15.—The
parents of 250 caddies, employed by the
Bala Golf club, the Philadelphia Coun
try club and the Country club of the
Athletic club of Philadelphia, object
to language used by certain golfers,
and as a result the boys are on strike
today.
Mothers heard so many curse words
from the rosy lips of their softs that
they started an Investigation. Many
of the boys confessed that they learned
the artistic expressions from angry
golfers, who raised the sod instead of
the ball when teeing off. That settled
it. The mothers served notice upon
inat|y of the golfers that cursing must
end otherwise there would be a strike.
The strike followed and the boys are
taking advantage of it to ask for more
money.

CHICAGO, IN FRENZY HI
i. r:s coming, plans
BIG DEMONSTRATION
Whole City Is in Turmoil in Anticipa
tion of the Colonel’s Arrival Today,
Partisan Feeling Reaching Climax.
Thousands to Greet Train—Bosses
Are Plainly Disturbed.
CHICAGO, June 15.—Colonel Roosevelt today takes per
sonal command of his fight for the Republican nomination for
president. At 4 o’clock this afternoon he will arrive in Chicago.
A noisy reception by the hosts already gathered to take part in
•the demonstration and another smashed precedent will greet
him as he steps from the train. For the first time in the history
of the Republican party an avowed candidate for the office of
president, himself an ex-president, will appear personally on
the scene of a convention before which he seeks the office.
The noise that is to greet the
colonel has already been started.
Cheering delegates and cheering
persons who are not delegates,
have been marching through ho
tel lobbies shouting, singing,
arguing and making speeches.
Their demonstration has accentuated
the bitterness and excitement that per.
vade the presidential tight. Personal
encounters, quickly suppressed by men
who separated the warring partisans,
broke out half a dozen times in the
hotel lobbies, where the demonstration
started. Roosevelt songs were inter
rupted by thumping cheers for Taft.
Incipient Roosevelt speeches have been
Interrupted by Taft spielers and have
been changed into a riot of meaning
less cries and shouts as Taft and
Roosevelt partisans rushed up to take
part in the fray. Persona! arguments
between men of either side have grown
into altercations between quickly gath
ered Every one about the hotels
where the politicians have gathered is
in a stage bordering on hysteria. And
the demonstration started hours before
the colonel was booked to arrive.
Everybody Going
To Meet the Train.
For once Chicago is put in the same
category with her country cousins.
From indications this morning, every
person tn the city interested in politics
will try to "go down to see the train
come in." The coming of the train is to
them the one Important event of the
day. Whether the arrival of the Rough
Rider means a “stampede" is the one
question that is agitating the leaders of
both camps. Taft men confidently as
serted today It meant nothing of the
sort. But the men who make this state
ment, most of them, were present four
■years ago when the galleries at the
Republican national convention broke
into the long Roosevelt demonstration
that could not be quieted. One Taft
man asserted that the actual coming of
the colonel would be an anti-climax.
The threat of his coming, he said,
had more effect than the actual arrival.
He asserted it would help the Taft
cause tn have the colonel on the
ground.
The Roosevelt men are willing to al
low them to look at it in that way.
They are jubilant at the colonel’s com
ing. From the moment he arrives until
the convention is over they believe the
extra
-

colonel will be the center of the fight
and they rely on his own statement that
he is a better fighter than prophet
Fireworks Starts
With T. R.’s Arrival.
The fireworks will begin with ar
rival of the Lake Shore Limited. Thou
sands will crowd the station. The
demonstration is expected to continue
as the colonel goes to his hotel, while
he remains in public view and even
while he is in his own apartments.
It is to grow into a great climax Mon
day night at a mass meeting at the
Auditorium theater, where Roosevelt is
to be the great central figure. There is
to be one figure and one speech. Dur
ing the hours that the meeting con
tinues, and it Is planned to make It a
continuous affair, opening early in the
evening and lasting until late. Roose
velt, according to present plans, will
address the crowd.
Senator Dixon emphasized the inter
est today when he was asked if there
would be other speakers at the meet
ing. "The gentleman who would have
the nerve to make a speech on that
occasion, even if it had been announced,
ought to go down and take a place on
the national committee,” he said. Asked
if he thought Colonel Roosevelt would
stay during the entire convention, Dix
on replied:
"Really, I don’t think he knows.”
Greeting Unusual /
Only in Noise.
The Roosevelt men planned to have
the reception of the colonel unusual
only in one thing—its noisiness. While
they say no-specific arrangements have
been made for any demonstration, it is
known that since the coming of the
Oyster Bay candidate was first sug
gested as a possibility, on the quiet
plans were outlined and every Roose
velt booster in Chicago has been asked
to f>e on hand. And for that matter a
lot of them volunteered to the man
agers of the Roosevelt campaign. There
is not a question about the welcome.
“Will any one meet the colonel’s
train?” Dixon was asked.
“I guess the porters will be there.as
usual," he dryly replied.
"Will the committee be on hand?”
"There has been no suggestion of
such a thing,” Dixon replied.
But the coming of the colonel is not
to be so entirely overlooked. Senator
Dixon, Alexander H. Revell, chairman
of the national Roosevelt committee,
