Clay Workers Clash With Special
Deputies and Seven of Their
Number Are Killed.
By Cable to Tlie Dally Gateway.
Perth Amboy, N. J., Nov. 27—Yes
terday 700 clay workers clashed with a
j company of special deputies appointed
to keep peace, and seven of the work
ers were killed. The clash with the
deputies started riots and the National
i guards were called out to Keep the
peace. When the guards arrived on
j the scene there was the greatest ex
citement. Today the city is under
martial law and is quiet.
The trouble arose out of a demand
on the part of the clay workers for a
; raise in wages.
The employers and men could not
agree on terms and the men went on a
strike. They congregated in the
streets and when ordered to disperse
refused. This led to violence and
bloodshed.

]
By Cable to The Dailv Gateway.
Olympia, Wn., Nov. 27—Justice Milo
A. Root, of the supreme court resigned
this morning. The cause of his resig
nation is the unsavory charges con
nected with the Judge Gordan scandal.
Gordan was formerly chief justice of
the supreme court, resigned in 190$
and became counsel for the Great
Northern Railway Company. Recent
ly he was found $50,000 short in his
accounts, and it was alleged by Judge
Robinson of Olympia that Root had re
ceived part of the money to influence
his decisions in favor of the Great
Northern Railway Company. Judge
Root denies the charges, but after
consultation with his friends, he de
cided to resign from the bench stating
that he did not wish any reflections to
be cast upon the judiciary.
A commission has been appointed by
the Washington State Bar Association
to investigate the charges of the al
leged misconduct of Justice Root.
The matter will be thoroughly sifted.
