SUNDAY
Was n Bloody Day for Snint
Louis.
ST. LOUIS JUNE ll.-Sunday was one
of tho most eventful and bloody scones
since the strike on tho St. Louis Transit
began more than one month ago. There
wore numerous oncoutners between strik-
ers and other riotous Individuals and tho
constituted authorities rosultlng In three
doahts and the wounding of five or more
persons mostly strikers. One of tho
latter will die.
THE DEAD.
C. EDWARD THOMAS striking con-
ductor on tho Chouteau avenue line; shot
in the breast by deputy sheriff; died on
way to hlopltal.
GEOHGE RINE striking motormnn on
J.lmnr nvenuo line; shot In abdomen by
deputy sheriff; died nt city hospital.
WOUNDED.
Ed. IJurfthardt striking conductor on
Delmar avenue lino; shot in head; may
die.
Oscar Marvin conductor on tho Lee av-
enue line; shot In right hand and arm;
serious.
Chas. Ljdwlg shot In hand; not serious.
The day was quiet until this afternoon
when the police were taken off a number
of the Mreet car lines for tho purpose of
giving them a rest and testing the ability
of the Transit company to operate with-
out friction. Cars were In operation dur-
ing the day on all tho lines of the Tran-
sit company except the Southwestern.
Tonight ars were run under police pro-
tection until midnight on the Park avenue
Oih'o street Llndell division and Laclede
avenue lines.
Tho most serious trouble broke out be-
tween six a:ni seven o'clock In front of
the si:: story store building on "Washing-
ton avonue between Broadway and Six-
th street occupied by the sheriff's posse
comitatus as a barracks and headquart-
ers. Several hundred striking street car
men had gone to East St. Louis oarllei
In the day to attend n picnic given for
their benefit at "Wolff's grove. Toward
evening they began returning homo sing-
ly In groups of two or three and others
in companies of hundreds of more. No
serious trouble occurred until ono of these
companies composed of nenrly 150 street
car men In uniform and headed by a
druum corps came west on Washington
avonue. In their caps some of them had
cards bearing these words:
"Union or nothing; liberty or death."
The men were marching along the side
walk on the south side of Washington av-
enue opposite the posse barracks. They
were In a jocular mood and as near as
can be learned had no Intention of mak-
ing any trouble. Just as they were pass-
ing the barracks a car at the Park avon-
ue division was going west. A number
of the men broke from tho line and rush-
ed for the car with the Intention It Is
said of boarding It and taking a ride. An-
other statement was made that It was th
intention of tho strikers to assault the
motorman and cdnductor whose car was
without the usual police guard. Howecer
that may be the trouble started hero
A brick was thrown through the car win-
dow and a shot was fired by somebody
not known.
At the first Intimation of trouble mem
bers of the sheriff's posso swarmed from
the building and surrounded the crowd
of strikers about the car calling on them
to disperse. Other shots were fired then
some deputies turned loose their repeating
shot guns loaded with buckshot. As far
as can bo learned only four men In the
strikers' ranks were hit. Not a deputy
was wounded even.
C. Edward Thomas a striking conduc-
tor on tho Chouteau avenue line was
picked up and placed In an ambulance af-
ter the fight was over. Ho was shot In tho
breast the heavy load of buckshot tear-
ing a holo that soon let out his life's
blood nnd caused death while on tho way
to the city hospital.
ST. LOUIS JUNE 11. The Sabbath's
scenes of disorder and bloodshed were fol-
lowed today by compartlve quiet through-
out the city. Last night's riot was the
all absorbing topic especially among the
police force and the officers and men of
the sheriff's posso comitatus. They dls-
cussod It In all Its bearings tho unan-
imous opinion being expressed that the
posse men did their full duty and no
more.
Tho strikers and their sympathizers na-
turally viewed tho occurrence In a light
diametrically opposlnte to that of the
shoriff's posse thf officials of tho former
mnklng tho claim that tho mon were shot
down In cold blood.
Cars were operated until midnight to-
nlcht on tho following lines:: Laclede
avenue Mnrkot streot Ollv street Wash-
ington avenue Compton Heights and
Park avonue. Up to n late hour no re-
port of didsorder had been roceived by
tho chief of police. Tho vigilance of the
police department was not relaxed In tho
least as compared with tho preceding
days of tho striko. If anything their ef-
forts wore redoubled In maintaining peace
nnd ordor as In some quarters it was
feared that tho lawless elomont of tho
community might possibly tako measures
to cvon up yesterday's score when thrco
striking employes were killed and nl.no
persons lnjlred by tho posse. In tho same
degree tho two reglmonts of tho posso
comitatus wero on their mettle.
In answor to a letter directed by Chief
of Pollco Campbell this evening to Mayor
Ziegenholn tho following proclamation
was Issued by the latter:

"Replying to your telegram will say
vigorous action has been taken by the
state government and the St. Louis po-
lice department to enforce respect for law
In St. Louis and protect lifo and property
Tho mayor however who is a candidate
for re-nomlnatlon not doslrlng to offend
positively refuses to co-oporate with us
which lends encouragement to tho law-
less element and Impedes our progress
towards restoration of normal condldtlon.
The president of the board of police com-
missioners writes me under date of tho
7th Inst as follows:
" 'IlenryZelgenhein mayor of St. Louis
has perslstenly refused to attend tho
meetings of the police board of which ho
is a member or to give us assistance of
any kind at this critical period. Ills Hon-
or In spite of sundry requests has per-
sistently refused to assist tho board In
any way and It Is my belief that his fai-
lure to do so has worked crreat harm to us
In this crisis. Especially do I deplore the
fact as president of the police board that
he refused to Issue a proper sort of proc-
lamation to keep the peaco and for tho
disposing of mobs.'
"As governor I have conscientiously
and fearlessly done my duty as my judg-
ment directed. I have required that 2500
emergency policemen bo sworn In and
with Sheriff Sutton a posse of 2300 addi-
tional able bodied and law abiding citi-
zens to serve under tho direction of the
police commlssleoners. Up to this hour
It has not been deemed necessary by tho
police commissioner of St. Louis to ordet
out tho mllltla the commissioners yet
believelng that they are equal to tho
emergency. There have been only spas-
modic outbreaks which the pollco and
deputy sheriffs have been able to manage.
The stripping of the women to which
you refer was done by three girls between
the ages of fourteen and sixteen. A sa-
loon keper was also arrested on suspi-
cion of being Implicated. It was not
thought best to order out tho mllltla to
shoot them. Tho girls havo been trlcti
nnd sentenced to terms In the Industrial.
The period Immediately following child-birth is fraught with many dangers. The strength has been used in the painful ordeal
through which the mother has passed and she finds herself helpless and weakened a prey to any disorder which may assert itself. Many
mothers like Mrs Ford date the beginning of their illness from the birth of their child. Indeed the frequent spec
tacle of a healthy young woman becoming a chronic invalid after motherhood is one of the tragedies of life.
All this is unnecessary when Wine of Cardui is obtainable. The great remedy is never more useful than at this
time. It rehabilitates the shattered nervous system strengthens the organs and ligaments and re-establishes a healthy
natural condition saving years of chronic sickness and suffering.
taken just before confinement will render the ordeal comparatively painless. It will
re-enforce and strengthen the organs for their work. For every trying crisis in a
woman's life Wine of Cardui is the medicine to take. Ask your druggist for
Wine of Cardui and take no substitute. If one is offered send $1.00 for a bottle

After my baby was born I took the "whites" and falling of the womb and was
in a very dangerous condition. I read one of your home treatment books and com-
menced to treat myself with Wine of Cardui and Black-Draught. I am thankful for what
the medicine did for me and I am now in better health than I have been in for a long time.

home for girls. Most of the newspapers
In St. Louis endeavor to satnd In with tho
l.iwli-ss element n well as with the bettor
element nnd think It popular to withhold
support from state officers nnd constan-
1 critlclso any act of tho pollco authori-
ties. "A slmlllar striko upon the streot rail-
ways waa ordered in Kansas City about
the same tlmo tho St. Louis strike was or-
dered but proved a falluro because tho
m.inr the newspapers and tho slurlff nil
co-operated with the police department.
We havo four regiments In Missouri con-
sisting altogether of about 2.R00 men. The
first regiment with two hours' notice will
be ready for duty.' Tho other three regl-
monts can bo moblllzod In St. Louis with-
in Ion hours. Cnmping sites have been
selected in tho city nnd details all arrang-
ed and as soon ns I am Informed by tho
proper authorities that a tumult ecclsts In
the city and lawlessness and disorder pre-
vails with which the authorities are un-
able to cope tho National guard will be
called out to enforce the law and prevent
further disorder and acts of violence with
out delay. Conditions are Indeed bad
enough but exaggerated reports havo
reached tho oast. I feel the worst is over.
It was demonstrated in St. Louis yester-
day when four or five strlltors were shot
and killed that our authorities moan bus
iness. I believe that law and order will
soon bo restored and tho good name and
dignity of St. Louis and tho stato of Mis-
souri will be preserved. Many of the St.
Louis people critlclso my every act since
this striko was declared and oppose tho
calling out of tho militia whoro even
with police forco and unlimited number
of deputy sheriffs St. Louis cannot at
this time take care of herself."
NEW YORK JUNE ll.-Mns. Victoria
Amelia Herault Ward's application for
$3000 counsel feo and $2000 a month ali-
mony whllo prosecuting her suit for sep-
aration ngalnct Ebor Brock Ward for-
merly of Detroit was today denied by
Justice Smyth In tho supremo court.
"It is extremoly doubtful" Justice
Smyth says "whether thfe court has jur-
Irdictlon. Tho parties wero married in
the city of Paris Trance which tho
proof shows was then and now is their
place of residence. Tho plaintiff Is a na-
tive of Franco nnd tho defendant Is nei-
ther a resk'ent nor a citizen of this state.
"The prcof shows conclusively that tho
plaintiff who Is the wife Is not destitute
of the means of livelihood nor of means
sufficient to carry on this action. On the
contrary she Is possessed of a largo
amount of property which was given hoc
by the defendant.
"Upon the merits of tho case as pre-
sented mion the motion It is at least
doubtful if the nlalntiff will ultimately
succeed In her action. For those reasons
the motion must be dismissed.
