The ?Ute constabulary, 185 strong, entered Philadelphia early today With them came the crista In the street car strike and the disorder which for five days has 'maintained a condition little short of a reign of terror.

The company had announced that it would run 1.200 cars today. Iff the city would put two* policemen . on each ear and keep reserve forces ready for any emergency. Early In the day preparations to carry out this plan were under way. The atate constabulary, on their arrival, were housed in the armories of the Second regiment at Broad atreet and 8usquehanna avenue and the First City troop st-Twenty-thlfd and Market streets. There they were kept till the tlms for active service. Beside them, ev ery available policeman, Yegutar and special, was detailed to at rlke- But It was on the constabularly that the authorises had determined to rely principally today, the police tried In live days off disorders, had proved the best they oottld do <o be futile, wy,.?he ,rrU?lo< the cal,. isry tne prospects t icnui wnw, gle throughout the ranks of nnion On next Friday night at the school auditorium there will be an* old-time ?pell Ins match In charge of Mr. Stephen C.

Two copies of the eld Blue became more serious. When President John J. Murphy, of the Central lAbor Union, madeahej demand for a general strike two days ago. without the backing of the ex ecutive" committee of the Central Union, C. O. Pratt, organizer of /lje carmen's union, protested, declaring that the carmen would need the financial support of the other unions without the letter's being called out in sympathy. "But 1f the state constabulary Is called out a general strike will hate to follow," said Pratt at that time. And the constabulary . entered Philadelphia today. This morning interest in the immediate move of the labor leaders was Intense. Amc^jg the working men the spirit of protest waB strong and hundreds demanded that their leaders declare the strug gle throughout the rangs of union labor. On this, the sixth day of the strug gle, there became apparent the first move on the part of the outsiders to bring about geace between the com pany and the men. 8entlment for a peaceable solution Is gaining strength every hour. The public is beginning to tire of all the difficulties and terrors and business has suffered a tremendous loss. - It was declared today thai If the present peace plans failed of reaults, business men would take matters In their own hands and, exerting overy Influence, force peace on the warring sides.

LOST GIRL_FDIIND Missing Spartanburg Girl Loca ted in St. Louis. \ - LURED BY TRAVELING MAN Claims Shr Was Entlcwl From Her Home Under the Promise or Mar * tinge. But Was I^ater Deserted ? * Whq^e Affair Shrouded in Mystery ? Arrests Have Been Made. St. L?uls, Mo., Feb. 24. ? John W. Johnson, a wealthy Spartanburg, g. C?. lumberman, today rescued his 16 year-old daughter, Ethel, who had been lured to 8t. Louis by a travel ing man. Before leaving for Spar tanburg with his little daughter, Johhson requested thp police to lo cate and arrest the traveling sales man, who, according to the girl,. In stead of marrying her. as he prom ised, deserted her. Barney W.. Frauenthal. the man who made the Union Station Infor mation Bureau famous, is supposed to be able to answer all sorts of questions, but he was not able last week to answer his wife's question of "where are we 'going to get a Klrll" So Barney passed the question to Matron Hunter of Union station. Ethel' Johnson had just told Mrs. Hunter that she was penniless and wanted work% Mrs. Hunter told Bar ney of the girl, and he sent her to his home. There the girl soon proved herself unfamiliar with housework. - Although Barney's specialty, as aforesaid, is information, he and Ms family got little information from the girl about herself. When they asked her where she was from, she said the South. She was tired oTher home, she said, and wanted to look after herself. Barney got his flrst real information about the girl When he read in a newspaper dispatch that her father had traced her to St. Louis and was coming from South Carolina to seek her. Walter Johnson, a cousin of the girl, and Mrs. Kate Parham wore ar rested and jailed at 8partansburg last Thursday on the charge of ab ducting Miss Ethel Johnson, who dis appeared very mysteriously the pre vious day. Nothing was l nown of tli# whereabouts of the girl until the M?o4a> . followiiic a?i?theUe note from St. Louis to her mother in Spartanburg revealed the fact that she was. In the Missouri city without money and friends and asking that money be sent her in order that she might return. Mr. Johnson, the father, left at once for St. Louis, without having his daughter's ad dress to find her and bring her home. The connection of the traveling man with the case, his name and the de tails of the girl's flight to St. Louis are not known In Spartanburg. In fact the whole ease Is shrouded In a veil of mystery which will net be lifted until Miss Johnson sees fit to talk for publication. In the mean time Mrs. Parham and Johnson, her cousin, are in jail at Spartanburg awaiting a preliminary examination which will not be held until Mr. Johnson returns with his daughter.

BKTTER 1?AY FOR TKACHEIt* The annual convention of North Carolina Teachers' Associa tion is scheduled for Asheville in June, and a feature will be the pre sentation by Prof. Tlghe of some sta tistics relative to the pay of teach ers in North Carolina. As a matter of. course, the direct object will be the securing of some legislative ac tion by -which the puollc school teachers will receive better pay. It is argued, and with truth, that sal I arlcs now pa-id Instructors In the public schools arc so poor that the teachers cauuot be held any longer than they can get situations else where. And added to the poor_ pay there offers no definite future - with better prospects for the teachers In the State. Discussing this subject, the New Bern Journal takes a position that is endorsed by the Chronicle. It contends that there Is no' question about the fact that the teachers re ceive poor pay, nor Is It disputed ex cept by those who know little of the actual Importance of the teacher, what cares and responsibilities are a part of this profession of instructors. The result of poor and ill-paid teach ers Is to have teachers no better than what Is paid them. Men and women who are ambitious, who keep fully abreast of the educational tlmea, will not and cannot accept salaries that mean bondagttjind starvation of aiftbltlojfcjfrnd the higher aspirations to tea<*f> well. ? If education Is to be advanced In HaVcii-oIId*. t must | mean well-equipped public school In structors, and these men and women will be worthy of palarles that 'mean more than a dally livelihood, /ffie profession of Instructors In this State should be e!cr**?d, and placed where service means a Just compensation for today, with a future that has something more In It for those who strive today. ?

Elisabeth City, Feb. 24. ? Clause Ballard, assistant bookkeeper for the M. 9.

Ballard, are very much worried over their son'B mysterious disappearance and Mrs. Ballard is . almost prostrated for fear that her boy Is not safe. Inquiry was made at the store of M. C. Gallop Company this morning and Mr. Sawyer,, head bookkeeper, stated that Mr. BallArd left the of fice Saturday afternoon about four o'clock stating that he was going around to Brown's pharmacy to get something to relieve his headache and that is the last seen of the young man by any of the store ' force. A bellboy of the Broadway Central ho tel stated that he went over to the Norfolk & Southern depot Baturday afternoon and bought Mr. Ballard a ticket to Norfolk, but does not know whether he left on the. 4. 25 train or not. No one seems to have noticed the young man board the afternoon train, but It Is generally believed that he left here for Norfolk. . Young Ballard is about 19 years of age and has been connccted with the M. C. Gallop Company for about three years. He Is a steady, ener getic and bright young buatness man and hla actions In leaving the store and his home here without any word or message as to hlR destination or Intentions are beyond the understand ing of hlB parents and employers. As far as Is known he had no reason In the world to leave so unexpectedly and without warning. He had not even drawn his salary at Gallop's for the part of the month which he had worked.
