Special officers are. assisting the uniformed force and the sheriff. is ready to swear in.a sufficient number of deputies to cope with the situation. With these precautions taken, the Hotel Men's association said today that the idea of calling 01 the Governor for the National Guard had been abandoned.

Officers of the International Hotel Workers' union estimated this morning that 4000 waiters and kitchen helpers were out. A mass meeting was called for noon, at which it WaS hoped to augment the number of strikers. Last night's rioting, in which hotel windows were broken and pedestrians shoved from the sidewalks, has had the effect of clinching the hotel men's determination not to yield to the strikers' demands. Many of the big hotels are crippled, but non-union help being engaged wherever possible. The strikers demand, among other things, more pay, better food and the abolishment of fines.

The first clash of the day occurred at the Hotel Cadillac, where 50 employes who had walked out yesterday attempted to storm the dining room. police arrested a head waiter in command' of the strikers and the crowd dispersed without carrying out their design. Start of Trouble. A column of strikers started eastward from Broadway and Forty-second street at a few minutes past 10 o'clock after shouting insults at Proprietor Regan of the Knickerbocker. The marched to Delmonico's, where 'after hattan, hurling bricks through the windows of the hotel cabstand as they went.

They swung up Madison avenue to Forty-fourth street and then marcehd to Delmonico's, where after vainly trying to draw out the waiters there they began to throw bricks. A missile crashed through a window on the Fifth avenue side of the restaurant and. bricks and stones were hurled through the doors on the Forty-fourth street side. The strikers made for the Ritz-Carlton next and delivered their attack on the Madison avenue entrance. a dozen rioters broke the revolving door and used jagged stones to break the glass and damage the woodwork.

Policeman Hease was the only bluecoat on duty at the Ritz and for a time he was danger of being badly hurt. Hease finally fired several shots from his revolver to attract help. Police Commissioner Waldo, who has apartments in the Carlton Chambers, adjoining the hotel Fortyseventh street, heard the shots. and looked out of his window. He got one glimpse of the brick throwers and then phoned to the East Fifty-frst street station.

Sergt. Peter Reid came over in a hurry with a patrol wagon loaded with 15 stout men. After 10 minutes hard fighting, in which the police used their clubs freely, Reid dispersed the mob and arrested the man who is charged with breaking window glass at Delmonico's and the Ritz-Carlton. The man gave his name as George Glaglunto, a waiter, of 116 Greenwich avenue. He was taken to the night court.

MATHEWSON; FORMER MINISTER OF WAR WHOSE ASSASSINATION HAS PLUNGED TURK CAPITAL INTO STATE OF TERROR NAZIM PASHA. CONDUCTORS WILL CONSIDER STRIKE Mass Meeting of -Bangor Aroostook Railroad Employes Reported to Have Been Called for Sunday.

BANGOR, Jan. and trainmen of the Bangor Aroostook railroad, who are awaiting a formal reply to their demand for an increase in wages approximately of 46 per will consider their course of action at a mass meeting which, it is reported, is planned for tomorrow. The limit set in their letter asking the increase will expire Monday. Two hundred and fifty men are concerned. The question to be decided will be whether to call a strike as a means of enforcing their demands, or to withdraw them or to give, an extension of time.

Should a strike be ordered, it will be independent of the contest of the engineers and firemen, who have been on strike eight days in an effort to obtain better pay for their labors, and not a sympathetic movement. The grand officers of the conductors' and trainmen's organizations who came here yesterday were expecting to have a conference this morning with President Percy R. Todd of the Bangor Aroostook railroad. The investigation of the engineers' and firemen's strike was resumed today by the State Board of Arbitration and Conciliation. L.

G. Griffing, assistant grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who was testifying when the board adjourned last night, was the first witness called this morning. Three witnesses from Aroostook county were expected to be called to express their views on what effect the prolongation of the strike would have on various industries. President Todd and Alden L. Chase, chairman of the committees of the engineers and firemen, were heard yesterday.

MAYOR THINKS IT UNWISE TO WORK AT CRESS BROOK The Cress brook diversion. to Highland brook will not start right away through any order by Mayor Kay. Last Tuesday a conference was held with Attorney Richard P. Borden and Spencer Borden in relation to Mrs. Effie Borden's claim that damages would ensue if the work was carried- through her estate.

As a result of that conference last Tuesday Mayor Kay stated this morning- that the meeting broke up with the understar ding that Attorney Borden was to confer with Mrs. Borden and ascertain what kind of a compromise she would be wiling to effect with the city if the municipal officials should decide such action necessary. As yet the Mayor stated that he had not heard from Mr. Borden but would get into communication with him today and request information as to when he would care to present his demands to the commission. The Mayor stated that he thought it unwise for the commission to continue the work regardless of legal threats and that he would not favor such action.

He thought that he would call a meeting of the Reservoir commission early next week to take action on Attorney Borden's demands. ARMORY HOP, SAT, JAN. 25. WARSHIPS HASTENING TO TURKEY Terror Reigns at Capital and Any Excesses May be Expected. LONDON terror reigns, according to reports received by the peace delegates representing the Balkan allies.

From the same source it is reported that the Young Turks, fearing, that the reigns of power may slip from their hands are arresting their adversaries in the Turkish capital right and left and are searching houses and clubs and confiscating documents, hoping in this way to break up the organization of the opposition. The reports express the option that under these circumstances any excesses lbe expected. With this prospect in view, the European powers have decided to send war vessels to reinforce ordinary guard ships stationed at Constantinople. Italy especially is alarmed over the return to power of the Young Turks, who were inexorable during the yan The Finited States ambassador at Constantinople, William Rockhill, during the negotiations attempted by him in conjunction with those of Joseph J. O'Brien, United States ambassador at Rome, for the conclusion of peace between Italy wand Turkey, described Djavid Bey, was then Turkish minister of finance and is now the head of the committee of Union and Progress, as an irrecon ciliable.

Djavid Bey declared that Turkey would fight in Tripoli as long as she had a soldier left. The position of 50,000 Italian residents of Turkey is now declared as so precarious that Italy has despatched to Constantinople, the cruisers San Marco and Pisa and' the gunboat Archimede, which are capable of landing 5090 bluejackets. At the same, time the Italian Italian squadron admiralty now has stationed ordered at the islands of Stampalia and Rhodes, in the Grecian archipelago, to hold itself in readiness. The remainder of the fleet is at Taranto, within easy call. STOLEN COPPER BELONGED TO SAGAMORE MILL As a result of further investigation on the part of Acting Inspectors Violette and Westgate, the mystery surrounding the recent thefts copper valued at several hundreds dollars of has been cleared and the quartet of local youths who were arrested and taken to New Bedford where an attempt was made to pawn a part of the copper, will be brought back to this city and will be arraigned in District court Monday morning charged with larceny.

The police are confident that in arresting Peter St. Peter, alias St. Pierre, Emile St. Peter, alias St. Pierre, Joseph Desmarais and Henry Covel, a bad gang has been broken up and other arrests are to follow, probably within 24 hours.

It was first supposed that the copper, some 1000 odd pounds, was stolen from the Mt. Hope Bleachery in Dighton, as some copper was missing from the plant, but yesterday afternoon Inspectors Violette and Westgate ascertained that the copper was stolen recently from the Sagamore mill in this city. Yesterday afternoon Inspectors, Violette and Westgate succeeded in locatIng 300 pounds of copper in a stable in the Flint, which had been secreted there by the gang, and this morning Inspector Westgate secured warrants re-arrest the gang and bring them to this city to face charges.

Beyond listening to the request and promising to consider it nothing more was done last evening by the finance committee, but it was stated' on good authority this morning that the will set aside $300. The office will be filled by appointment by the chairman of the Civil Service board. Assessors. Chairman Doherty of the Board of Assessors appeared before the committee and spoke on the needs of his department.

The estimate of the assessors provided for extra compensation for the assistant assessors and the furnishing to the State of an extra set of books pertaining to the work of the assessors. In relation to the increase for the assistant assessors, Chairman Doherty explained that in one item, that of securing the names for the voting lists, work had been increased a great deal by the addition of the women's names, and it was only right that the men should be paid more for the extra work. Mr. Doherty also told of the needs of the assessors' department for a platting system. He requested that an extra amount of $10,000 be set aside this year to make a start on the work and next year he would request $15,000 to complete the work.

In describing how this platting system would pay for itself within three or four years, Mr. Doherty told numerous instances of property not being taxed for anywhere near its value or being taxed at all simply 'on account of the meagre system under which the There is little doubt that the assessors have to labor or at present. will grant this $10,000, as several of them spoke heartily in favor of the project this morning. Public Library. The report of the Board of Trustees of the Public library was turned in to the board and Messrs.

Leontine Lincoln, James O'Neil, Dr. Thomas F. Gunning, Randall Durfee, Jerome C. Borden and James H. Mahoney appeared and told of the needs of the library.

One of the most important items they mentioned in regard to keeping up the standard of the library was that of furnishing books written in foreign languages. There are many immigrants who come to America and never learn to read fluently in the English language. They are, then, according to the library trustees, limited to Socialistic literature or anything, at all that is in their native The trustees, therefore, feel that good of various foreign composition would assist in uplifting the lower masses by giving them something fit and clean to read when at leisure. The trustees also recommended strongly that money be provided for the work of constructnig another reading room in the north end of the building. It appears there is a room there about 40 feet high and the trustees feel that this extra height could be utilized by building another reading room.

Following is the estimate of the public library trustees: Salaries of library staff $16,000 Salaries of janitors' department 2800 Binding and repairing books 2500 Books, periodicals, etc 7700 SWIFT WILL STAND FOR A REELECTION Attorney General Puts at Rest Rumor That He Would Retire from Office at End of the Present Term. (Special to The Herald.) BOSTON, Jan. General James M. Swift will be a candidate for renomination and re-election on the Republican ticket next fall. This announcement may not cause any surprise among real friends of the attorney.

general, but it will serve. as an! answer perhaps to certain over-ambitious gentlemen "the would like to get started early in game to land the job as the State's legal adviser. During the I 24 hours rumors have been afloat to the effect that the attorney general would not take a reelection. Those who have been responsible for spreading this impression are said to be among the friends of the present district attorney of Middlesex county, John J. Higgins, of Somerville.

It is not claimed that Mr. Higgins has himself circulated the rumor, but some of his ambitious friends apparently have given the impression that the Swift retirement is coming this year, and they have also left with those to whom they have broached the subject in any way he inference that Mr. Higgins has been tipped off to the fact by the attorney general himself. It is well known that District Attorney Higgins hopes to succeed to the office of attorney general as soon as Mr. Swift retires.

When asked about the -matter by a Herald representative this morning, Attorney General Swift had only one comment to make: "I have no idea how or where the rumor originated that I would not be a candidate for re-election. It is my intention at the present time to seek re-nomination and re-election fall and you may, state that as emphatically as you care to." the appropriations of the various at midnight with the work but meeting of the board will 'be held and The fact that the man was missing was kept secfet by the authorities for some unknown reason, and perhaps the search was retarded by, this act. The credit of the find is due to Selectman Barnes, who, with his two sons, Chester and Thomas, continued the search on the eleventh day when it had practically been abandoned as futile.

A search immediately instituted, and it has Moon continued since that time, with the exception of nights, until the body was I located yesterday by Thomas Barnes, the leader of the search. In Light Attire.

When last seen, he was attired in blue trousers, light blue cotton shirt, dark blue jumper and a blue cap. The materials were very light and not calculated to withstand the rough weather, and if the aged man had intended a prolonged journey he had not made provision any way. It is believed that his act was committed in a fit of temporary insanity, to which he was not infrequently ject. He had been known disappear on two of three. previous, occasions, having been found once wandering in the streets of New Bedford.

Posse Organized. body, Body Found. With the description of his clothing, a willing and tireless posse started on the search, swelling to large numbers on the second and third days, when no trace had been found. the days went by, however, and the search seemed more and more. in vain, the numbers of the ranks began to decrease, until on Friday afternoon only a few hardy members turned out to make a final search before abandoning it for good.

There were about ten in the search yesterday afternoon, and they were scouring undergrowth and swamp in a point seemingly inaccessible to a man of Albro's unfit condition when Barnes located the After penetrating a dense thicket and crawling. through a mass of bull briars, Barnes had noticed an old wood pile left by wood cutters some months previous, and rounding a corner of this he found the body of the aged man, just as he had fallen, too weak from fatigue and hunger to continue further. Dead a Week. The posse was called in at once, and Medical Examiner G. H.

DeHough of New Bedford was telephoned for. He viewed the body yesterday and stated that death was due to starvation and exposure. The remains will probably be interred with a Grand Army funeral. The medical examiner stated that the body had probably been where it was found for over a week. Wife Died Similarly.

The man is survived by his brother, Charles, with whom he lived, by a sister in. New Bedford. Albro's wife wandered off two years ago in a fit of insanity and was found dead in the woods at Plainville after a long search. It is believed that this matter preyed on Albro's mind until he became insane. INVISIBLE "PLANE ABOUT PERFECTED BY SIGNAL CORPS WASHINGTON, Jan.

aeroplanes, with great stability because of a slight change in the adjustment of the biplanes, soon will be available to the War department as the result of discoveries made by officers of the signal corps. The "invisible" material is liquid and is molded into shape, but it is said to be lighter and stronger than canvas and to be adaptable to any description of frame. The War department expects soon to make public the discovery. The great advantage of the invisible aeroplane in time of war is regarded by army, officers as incalculable. With the new material they believe that a heavier than air machine would be virtually indistinguishable at 500 feet, a much nearer flight to an enemy's position than ally aviator probably would essay under present conditions.

This invisibility and the use of a muffler on the aeroplane's motor, in the belief of officers, would render heavier than air machine one of the most silent and deadly engines of destruction, besides making it invaluable for scouting purposes.

(Continued on Page 10.) MANUFACTURERS SHADE PRICES Object Is to Prevent Accumulation-Margin of Profit, However- -Quiet Week in Print Cloth Market. The print cloth market has continued rather quiet all the week. The last few days developed a little better inquiry for. both wide and narrow odds, but at prices under those quoted last week. Manufacturers have been accepting some of the offers of lower prices be because they did not want to accumulate goods.

A real active demand would stiffen the market and probably send prices up to the high marks ruling in December. January is well along toward its end, and an active demand has not shown itself. What promised well about two weeks ago for a more active market petered out quickly. The reduced prices offered carry some profit, and enough manufacturers to keep goods moving moderately are ready accept them rather than stock up against future possibilities. The total of sales was about 130,000 pieces, or which 50,000 pleces were spots.

Most of the others are to be deliyered in February and March, though a few small contracts running into April have been placed. On actual sales prices have been shaded about a sixteenth of a cent a yard, but the market is fairly steady in its general tone.
