GUNMEN WOULD INCITE RIOTING Methods Described by Cal- umet Strikebreaker. RELATES SOME INSTANCES Witness Admits He Has Been Em- pleyed In the Same Capacity by Va- rlous Organizations of Employera for the Last Seven Years. Chicago, March 11.—Henry Batters, testifying before the congressional committee investigating the Michigan copper strike, said he was one of for. ty-five men imported into the strike district in October by a detective egenoy of New York. He declared that they were told by “Captain” White, in charge of the men, that he hoped these boys would “learn the ropes” 8o that the mine companies would need to hire more men as guards. Batters explained that these instruc- tions were taken to mean that the “boys” were to incite the strikers to aots of violence. A guard named Curry, he faid, fired into the boarding house of Mrs. Ben- son at Mohawk. Robert Aiken, a guard, beat three men who had been arrested by other private detectives, and on one occasion a strikers’ parade was stopped by “gunmen” who en- deavored to incite the strikers to some overt act in resistance. “Do you admit that you belonged to an organization engaged in such busi- ness as that?” asked Congressman Switzer. “Well, yes,” replied the witness. “Were these men known as gue- men?” “Yes. They were strikebreakaers and gunmen.” On cross-examination Batters admit- ted that he had worked for various organizations in the same capacity for the past seven years. John Mitchell, the labor leader, will be given a hearing by the committee in Washington some time next week. UNEMPLOYED ARMY IN NEED OF FOOD Projected Trip to Washington Temporarily Abandoned, Sacramentp, Cal, March 11.—Beat: en and badly disorganized, its lead- ers in Sacramento jails and with scanty food and shelter, the “unem- ployed army” driven from Sacramento is encamped across the river in Yolo county, a dejected lot of men. Au- thorities are guarding the bridges and will not permit any to return to the city, and Yolo county officers heavily armed are keeping the men within the new camp made after being forced beyond the city limits. With no spokesmen and no leaders the “army” has put aside temporarily its projected trip to Washington, D. C., and turned its attention to the graver subject of subsistence. The men have found themselves in an un- enviable position. Barred from re- turning to Sacramento and hemmed in on the south, north and west by flood waters of the Sacramento river in the Yolo basin they are virtually helpless. The city and county governments have sent enough money to provide two meals. JUSTICE WRIGHT CLEARED House Judiciary Committee Dismisses Charges. ‘Washington, March 11.—Charges by W. R. Copper, a local banker, against Justice D. T. Wright of the District supreme court, asking for his im- peachment, were dismissed by the house judiciary committee as “uncor- roborated.” Justice Wright attracted national attention when he sentenced Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and John Mitchell to jail for contempt of court in the Bucks’ stove and range case. ITALIAN STRIKE IS- ENDED Man Awed by Display of Military Force. Rome, March 11.—Awed by the dis- dlay of soldiery and checked by sever- al cavalry charges which frustrated attempts at disorder the workmen of Rome, who had declared a general strike, decided to resume work. Before this announcement was made a body of strikers trylng to march to the ministry of the interior was dispersed by the police, who fired several volleys into the air. C. S.

MARTIAL LAW RULES IN BRAZILIAN STATE Federal Troops Are Placed on Guard in Capital, Rio de Janeiro, March 11.—Martial law has been proclaimed throughout the state of Ceara. Federal troops have been placed on guard at the principal commercial and private houses in Forteleza, the state capital, owing to the outbreak of a strike. Martial law was proclaimed in" this city several days ago. The commander of the troops at Fortaleza telegrabphed the minister of war that trade was at a standstill and the strikers were parading the streets threatening the populace and break- ing into private dwellings. The local authorities of the state of Ceara are powerless to enforce or- der and the federal commander re- ports that a force of rebels is en- camped about sixteen miles from For- taleza.

DEATH LIST THIRTY-ON Result Reached by Careful Checking of Names of Those Known to Be Quests Sunday Night and Those Hoard From Since—Only Ten Bodies Recovered So Far. st. Loull. March 11.—That the home of the Missouri Athletic club,| destroyed by fire Monday, entalling| an estimated loss of thirty-one lives,] was a fire trap and was so known to the governors of the club was the as- sertion of officials connected with the fire prevention bureau. Fire Chief Swingley said that six or seven months ago he-warned the management of the Missouri Athletic club that the club building was not saft for sleeping quarters. Former Bullding Commissioner J. A. Smith said, after personally in- specting the club house, he had-order- ed the board of governors to put in two fire stairways. “The governors objected,” said Smith, “saying that to do so would ruin their lobby. I cited them into court. - The club had good friends at court. I succeeded in getting the club to put in a proper fire stair, en- closed in oconcrete, with correct fire doors on each floor.” Upper Floors Fire Trap. “I found conditions particularly bad on the three upper floors,” said Fire Chief Swingley. “The building was not constructed for hotel purposes, but a business house. The walls of the rooms were built of tongue and grooved lumber, which attracts in- stead of resists flames. The build- ing had no sprinkler system. . Ed Bornmueller, secretary of the club, said the members often had dis- cussed the danger of fire. “Still, we could not jump into the street,” he said. “We had fo stay somewhere and we expected no such tragedy. The building was provided with enough fire escapes, we thought, a8 ‘well as hose reels, fire buckets and | sot: extinguishers on every floor.” Careful checking of the names of those known to be at the Missouri Athletic club Sunday night and those heard from since the fire resulted in a death list of thirty-one. Ten bodies have been recovered. TRUST BILL IS NOW READY House Puts Finishing - Touches on Trade Commission Measure. Washington, March 11.—Finishing touches were given by the house in- terstate commerce committee to the administration bill creating an inter- state trade commission. Chairman Adamson is forcing the committee at top speed to report both this and the railroad securities regulation bills to the house. -The trade commission is expected to provide for three commissioners| at $10,000 each, with jurisdiction over large corporations and discretionary authority over smaller interstate cor- porations. Inquisitorial powers of the commission are limited. The house judiciary committee has begun wholesale - redrafting -of the three tentative bills amending the Sherman law in accordance with President Wilson's instructions. The bill defining monopolies and trade restraints will be - radically amended and may ultimately be dropped. ADDITIONAL WANTS |z, TOO IATE TG CLASSIFY LOST—An amethyst rosary.
