POLICE RAID
SALOONS BAYONNE
FAILED TO COMPLY WITH LAWT
Riots Are Frequent, and Btrlke Le.tr
ers Offer Services of 800 Men to
Maintain Order—Unions Claim to
Be Opimsed to Violence.
BAYONNE, N. J„ Oct. 13.—Riot
ing by the striking oilmen are still
of frequent occurrence, although law
and order are gaining the upper hand.
The mayor ordered all saloons closed,
and today the police completely
wrecked several places which failed
to comply with the order. The au
thorities are dealing severely with all
r.oters, and are gradually weeding
out the ringleaders among the riot
ers. The strike leaders offered 300
men from among the strikers to the
mayor to help maintain order, but
their offer was indignantly refused the
rflayor stating that the strikers were
responsible for the rioting.
The strike leaders claim that the
rioting Is done by the lawless element
which takes advantage of strike con
ditions to burn and pillage, but that
the strikers are not responsible for
the riots ,nor are such proceedings
countenanced by union officials.

“THE RACK” DRAWS
CROWDS TO EMPRESS
“The Rack,” a five reel film at the
Empress, drew a large crowd last
night. This popular society drama
starred by Alice Brady, is a striking
play of gripping interest, and it held
the audience spellbound until the last
scene of the last picture.
The court room scene in which Mrs.
Gordon, (Alice Brady) is tried for
the murder of John Freeman is of
unusual interest, and gives Miss
Brady an opportunity to display her
rare emotional art.
“The Rack” will be presented at
the Empress tonight, and a complete
change of pictures tomorrow night.

This morning the grand Jury re
turned an indictment against Ed Sel
lers, charging him with grand lar
ceny. The accused was bound over

er at Chitina, and is now out on ball.

the person, one year at McNeil’s isl
and penitentiary.
Otis Osgood pleaded guilty to the
charge of conspiracy to illegally im
port liquor into the territory, one
year in the Valdez jail. As he has
already been imprisoned for two
months this is counted on the sen

guilty to the same charge, received a
sentence of eight months with the
same two months ofT for the time he
has been Imprisoned.

M. Itonades, who pleaded guilty
to giving liquor to a native, the court
held that the prisoner, according to
the evidence in the case, had not In
'lentionally committed a crime, and

had showed no criminal inclination,
he was therefore entitled to great
clemency, and the sentence was fixed
at two months in the Valdez jail.
