CHICAGO, May 5. Bluntly warn by Sheriff Thomas E. Barrett that troops would be asked for by him if police and xleputy sheriffs together proved unable to control violence, the strike sympathizers were less in evidence about the many strike bound stores and stables today. A distinct innovation was made by the police. Chief O'Neill issued a general order to arrest all persons following police guarded wagons.

"When this strike first broke out," said the chief, "persons followed the wagons out of curiosity. Now they follow them to incite riot. There will be no discrimination by the police in such cases in making arrests." A typical call upon Sheriff Barrett for protection came today from James B. Clowes Sons, manufacturers of plumbing supplies. Deputies were sent to the firm's store with instructions to take seats on wagons sent out by the establishment and aid in keeping the peace.

Large Police Force. Two thousand men constituted the police force available for strike duty today.

The admiralty has information that a Japanese division of fast curisers and torpedo boat destroyers was sent south for the purpose If possible of crippling or destroying Nebogatoff's ships before they could effect a junc-Ltion with those of Rojestvensky and is reason to believe that the -'Japanese took up a position in the Straits of Sunda through which Ne-bogatoff originally intended to make thr.
