(Hy Leased Wire to Tim Times) Philadelphia, Fob. 21 Philadel phia today is virtually under martial law, hut. riots are Hi ill going on. When dawn came today thousands of men were upon the streets and the first attempt of the Philadelphia Kapid Transit. Company to give its promised rush hour service was met in a score of districts with opposition which brought on conflicts duplicat ing those of yesterday in-which more than 100 were hurt. The injured in clude many women and girls. A 1 3-year-old girl is dying from a bullet fired by a policeman. A boy and a fireman lay at the- point of death with fractured skulls. Another lire man was fatally hurt by being stabbed. The hospitals arc filled. Today opened with a. thick fog and ruin. This aided the work of the noliee. vet mobs eathered in everv street through which .cars were ex pected to pass. ' ; . ' : ' .-' - Philadelphia is threatened with a general strike, tvhfch would tie up every industry employing union labor and plunge the city into a struggle such as has never been seen in Amer ica. "We have the men and we will run 1,20(1 ears today," was ; i he state ment made early today by the com pany officials. "The victory is virtually ours. Public sentiment, is with us and the people have already given us the de cision," C. O. Pratt, organizer of the union, gave this answer to the corpo ration's claims this morning. A proclamation has been issued by Mayor John K. Reyburn, but it gives no hope of a peaceable settlement of the trouble. In it he says that in the event of any persons assembling "tin. lawfully, riotously and tumultuous-, ly", the director of the department of public' safety, as the police chief Is known, is ordered to direct .the offi cer in command to "use all necessary force and means whatever to disperse such unlawful assemblages." In the proclamation the mayor urges the people to use the streets as little as possible, and above nil lo keep children from becoming in volved in .the "disorders. . Tbe two TERRIFIC GALES SWEEP CONTINENT (By Cable to The Times.) London, Feb. 21 The British Isles and the whole west coast of the continent from Denmark to southern Portugal are being lashed .by terrific gales and havoc has been wrought in shipping. More than fifty lives have been lost ashore and at sea. London this morning was cut oh from com munication with many points in the north and within the city more than 300 wire lines were down. " i Every harbor is crowded with ves sels that have been forced to take re fuge by the fury of the storm, which is the culmination of a. long stretch of severe .weather. Every incoming" liner reports ter rific eas and gales of unusual force. Reports of the loss of small craft reached London today and It is be lieved that many fishing vessels have gone down or been driven to disaster on the rocks. In many- parts of Great Britain the condition is seripus and. floods have added to" he terrors of the storm. c - Efforts were made todaT"o. re., tabllsh communication with the con tinent. The English channel is swept almost clean of vessels and those re maining in the treacherous neck of jvaler Sie the object of grtfve fears.

Here are the mayor's 'commands to the citizens: ITso the streets for travel only. Make no unnecessary stops there on.- Do not loiter. Do not collect on or join crowds. Make no outcries nor use insulting language. Peaceably -move on about their business. The -task of swearing in ;!,000 ex tra police was begun this morning. It was declared today that the slate constabulary would be called out he- fore night and there were rumors fre quently circulated that the national guard was to be called out. At dawn todjty more than 000 per sons had been arrested, and the po lice continued to throw scores of oth ers into jail. . When -dawn broke an army of strike-breakers were in Philadelphia, its environs, or on their way to this city. Five hundred were .brought in under cover of darkness from New York and more were ordered from other centers by the company. Early today a crowd .of between 000 and 6.000 gathered about the barns at 43d street and Lancaster avenue in the northwest section a workingman's district. This was the storm center in the first car strike and extra police were detailed there today several hundred strong. Thousands of persons went to their work on roller skates. . The number of cars run was by no means near the' normal and, their' patronage was deeply cut into by the fear of disor der. . . From every, outlying district there went processions of wagons, during the, rush hours- vans, express wag ons, buggies, delivery carts, anything in the way. of a vehicle that could be utilized to reap the harvest of high fares charged to get the city to its day's work. Prett stenographers" piled into cial' wagons, clerks jammed trucks, business men took buggies and auto mobiles, and delivery carts were crowded to capacity. And thousands upon thousands walked, i Green Kooin Ilnlded.

AFTER THE TIGERS Wadesboro Private Citizens Swear Out Seach Warrants Town Officers Censured For Xot Mak ing; More Arrests Whiskey Com ing in to Parlies in Harrel Lots Preacher and His Son Arrested on it Charge of. Ketailing Case Will be Heard Tuesday. (Special to The Times.) Wadesboro, N, C. Feb. 21 A determ ined effort is being made by persons lni believe in .--enforcing the prohibi tion law to suppress the blind tigers with which the town , is infested, and the law -firm of .Robinson & t.'iiuiile anil Mr. J. V. Oullege have hern itetalned to . prosecute all offenders. ; :. The citizens; 'howeer, feel that it is hard, that thoy should pay taxes for the purpose of -keeping up the. town government ;iind then be called on to look after the enforcement of law by private means and at private expense. Those engaged In the traffic are ' ap parently.' ignored except In instances where private, prosecution has been em ployed. The town officers complain at any criticism of their official action, but seems unable to handle the situa tion, ases containing 24 pints are re ceived here constantly for suspected parties, iind in some instances the goods come in barrels. One day last week a suspicious barrel attracted the at tention of one who is interested in suppressing the blind tigers that thrive, and this person investigated nnd dis covered that the barrel was addressed to George White, 'colored, and, accord ing to the label on the outside, contained 1( pints of whiskey. Private marks were placed on the barrel and develop ments awaited. Monday afternoon the barrel disap peared. Tuesday afternoon Mr. J. S. Llles sworo. out a search warrant be fore Mayor Koggan, and a little later the housels of both Jean Ingram, and his father, Rev. Sandy Ingram, were searched by Chief of Police Luther, and Mr. Dl A. McGregor. Nothing 'that amounted to anything was found in either of the houses, but when the offi cers went to the lot used by both men, an empty barrel was found. The barrel was identified by the private marks on It and otherwise as the one that had been removed from the Atlantic Coast Line depot Moaday nfternoon. Here it is proper to. say that Sandy Ingram is not thought to have any knowledge of the traffic. Jean Ingram, who. was present when the barrel Was found, on being asked to explain Its presence In. the lot, stated that he removed tbe barrel from1 the depot for some railroad contractors at Ansonville, and that they gave It! back to him after removing the con- tents. - Jean . also-' stated- that he- did not know the barrel contained whiskey.' Later Jean was served with a warrant charging him with retailing. He gave bond for. his appearance before Mayor Bo'ggan .for a preliminary hearing. The. case will be heard Tuesday. - t KING EDWARD STANDSWITH THE COMMONS Speech From The Throne Almost Paralyzes The Hereditary House COMMONS SUPREME KiiiK Says That ('ominous 'Should Have I'ndivided Aulhorilv Over Finance nnd Predominance Over All Legislation Will Leave Itul Little For House of Lords to Ho.

The whole tenor of tho king's speech was that action on the budget is necessary immediately because ol Ihe financial needs of the empire.

The royalties, alter t lie delivery of the speech, returned to the palace and the sitting was suspended until 3:30 o'clock, .

"Political gossip gives you .. an early return to these halls," 1 said to her. The remark was ignored, as it should have been. Then I grew bolder. "Madame,' said I.

''"'..-: The beautiful eyes of the ex-presi dent's .daughter flashed instant knowledge and she answered delib erately and with Incisive emphasis:. "He lands at New York and will go straight to Oyster Bay!"
