W.r-Atter a d*L-?f C?PP*??? tranquility, sea^ftft small riota broke out In the Kensington district of 'Philadelphia late thia afternoon when bands of young men attacked cars that were run through that taction of the c^ty by non-union men. ;n one of tbe<f t raya passengers were attacked the strike sympathiser?. A motif man was dragged from his car and badly beaten, several policemen were roughly handled, but In none of the disturbances was anyone seriously injured. The most sertau* affair occurred about 6 o'clock at Trent street and Susquehanna avenue, when foward evening k crowd gathered and soon was beyond the control of the local police force atatloned at that point. Several can were atoned by Individ uals. The mob continued to grow, snd It fs^ thought finally a bead of young men succeeded hv stopping a car at the Intersection of the streets. Quck as a flash the crowd was upon the car trying to reach the non-union crew. The lone policeman who was protecting the crew fought bravely to save his charges, but several men dragged him Into the atreet. In the melee his revolver and club were takeA from him and he was given a beating by the rougha. Several men In the crowd tried to stop the attack, but were threatened with a similar iate. in the mean time the car crew waa having It out with other flections of the mob. The conductor managed to get away, but the motorman was not so fortunate. He fired several wild s halls and was pulled from tlje car and also beaten. About this time other policemen came Tunning up and Waded Into the crowd, which was bent on further mischief. Reluotant to drlw their revolvera because of the wortfn and ChUdren caught twfcfce crowd, {he po lice fought back the mdb Vlth their clubs. "Here comes the state cops'," someone yelled and 'there was a mo^ment to break away. A half dosen of the mounted police came galloping ialon&^Front street, and charged Into the crowd, smashing right and left with hickory sticks and gradually forced the mob back. Men. women and children were treated alike. The troopers made good use of their riot sticks and gave an extra crack when a rioter ahowed any resistance. The crowd was soon on the run, several hun dred being driven through a 'small atreet and scattered. ' During the fight a woman passen ger, Mrs. J. C. Ehler, was struck In' the abdomen with a brick and re* dered unconscious. Walter Graham, another paaaenger, who tried to car ry her from ^the car was attacked by the mob and very roughly handled, but he managed to carry the woman into a drug store. A half dosen people in the crowd were hurt by the policemen'* clubs, and were aent to hospitals to have their Injuries dressed, after which they were taken Into custody charg ed with rioting. .The oUier disturbances In Kens ington wsre not so serious, the riot ers being dispersed without any dam age being done. the first trouble to break out In the negro section oc curred late tbla afternoon at Fifth and Lombard streets. wb#e a crowd amused Itself In, throwing things at Tars.

Neat month her sister ship, "City of St. Louis,' > will be laubeueti and each steamer 'will start on Its maid en voyage during the early summer. The traffic, both passenger and between the metropolis of the East and the metropolis of the South has grown so tremendously that the Savannah line found Itself hard pressed last year for toiinagc with which to handle its enormously In creasing business. Even with the crack "City of Savannnh," now queen Of the coastwise traffic,, which was launched a couple of years ago from the shipyards at Chester, Pa., the company found Its facilities entirely Inadequate and orders were laced early last year for two large steamers with the shipbuilders at . Newport News, Va.. The City of Montgomery has. there fore, the distinction of making her debut flntt Into the waters of the Chesapeake. It Is entirely fitting that the Sa vannah Line, known sinpe the early days of shipbuilding and coastwise service as the Ocean 8teamshlp Com pany of Savannah, which was the pio neer In the coastwise service of the Ailan tic., seaboard, should aspire to the loftiest and moat ? expressive Ideals in the construction of Its ves sels. Thus, since the days of the fa mous "Rapldan" ? a wooden vessel of 868 tone ? the succeeding members of the famous Savannah line fleet have changed from wood Into Iron and from Iron Into steel and have grown larger and more comfortable with each succeeding launching. The acme of coastwise shipbuilding has not yet ^een reached, but in the "City of Montgomery" and the "City of 8t. Louis" there will be two ex amples of luxury ffloat such an the greatest dreamers of fifty years ago % FOR II GREAT NAVY Proposes to Put'.IJnited States in the Lead.

A length of over 400 feet and a tonnage of 6,2t>0 make these twin steamers the very essence of comfort and safety between the Northern and the Southern ports. Ah interesting feature of con struction of these steamerv^M been the Attention paid to the demands of varying climatic changes. Thus, traveler* leaving New York in the fsce of a Northern blizzard trill find romfdrtable. , steam-heated rooms warm and congenial lounging rooms, m?Ac rooms and cozy comers to make them forget that they are on the qpean instead of in a modern ho i tel. ?s soon as the climatic change oecurk south of Hatteras, the venti latfon and (tooling .apparatus oi\ board these steamers twill aid them in bearing comfortably the balmy air J [Of the Southland.

The de- ; lights of a morning shave haveSlth-l erto been denied the coastwise travel- j er unless he happened to be expert , with the razor himself. For those who do not use the suites-de-luxe i there are numerous shower baths and regular baths, to be had free upon appllcatlon'to the purser.
