In Chicago on April 18 a 2000 strong mob attacked a State Street cable car carrying two African American workers from Montgomery Ward & Co. Police rescued the men and arrested them for protection.

Portland April 18. In response to Senator John H Mitchell’s charge that the federal grand jury that indicted him on Oregon law fraud charges was illegal and that U S District Attorney Heney was biased, Heney introduces affidavits confirming his appointment and lack of malice. The affidavits also affirm George Gusin is a naturalized U S citizen.
Defense objects to the affidavit introduction claiming improper procedure. Heney cites a US statute allowing affidavits to prove naturalization and urges abatement pleas be tried by a judge without a jury while federal law permits affidavit evidence. Hermann moves demurrers to charges in land fraud cases. Hall Mays Benson Jones Potter plead not guilty or in abatement.
Reports from Chippewa Falls and Madison detail a tense dispute at the Cameron dam where a driving crew refused to close the gates, fearing John Dietz's rifle. Attorney T. J. Conner travels to Madison to confer with federal officers on a resolution to the Dietz trouble. Assemblyman Evans plans to introduce a joint resolution in the legislature.
At Cameron dam John Dietz and his men from the Mississippi River Logging Company hold lumbermen at bay to force a price. Dietz seeks 106 cents per 1000 logs for river transit while the dam’s owner refuses to pay.
In Duluth on April 18 striking Finnish miners forced 1500 workers to quit at Chisholm Hibbing and Buh mines. They shut the Mahoning Agrow and Albany mines adding about 600 more idle. They threaten to take pumps offline by 10 a.m. if demands are not met and urge governors troops to guard property.
New York on April 18 reports two developments in the Nan Patterson case. The district attorney surrenders letters from Mrs. Smith and there is another postponement of the actress Nan Patterson's trial.
The district attorney released a bundle of letters and papers seized from the trunk of Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, Nan Patterson’s sister, after a lengthy legal contest. The bundle, opened by counsel Mr. Limburger, included letters, insurance papers, and personal effects. Lim Burger says the suit will continue to establish permanent possession of the property. Jerome counters that the case is ended as the items were already relinquished. The article also notes a mandate from the U.S. Supreme Court in the Northern Securities case, directing costs of $20 to the Securities Company and remanding the matter to the New Jersey district circuit court.
