NEW YORK, June 15.—That every foot of the 3,000 miles of railroad he has built was constructed according to the ad- vice of spirits and that he changed the direction of the Kan- sas City Southern so as to have his terminal at Port Arthur, Texas, instead of Galveston because the spirits warned him to avoid the latter place, is the assertion of Arthur E.

UTAH GUARDS ON STRIKE DUTY SALT LAKE CITY, June 15.— ‘Two hundred national guardsmen were on duty to enforce in the coal strike area of Utah Governor Ma- bey’s proclamation of martial law, which was issued yesterday after a mine guard had been killed and a mine official wounded by men who fired on a train near Castle Gate. The national guard units were sent to the scene last night. They include a battery of artillery and two cavalry troops. Major Elmer Johnson, in command, was given authority by the governor to close all mines in the district if that seemed necessary to restore order. ‘The train reported ambused yester day bore non-union miners. which also resulted in wounds and in- juries to three others. This state: ment was secured today from an offi- clal source in Douglas where an in- quest into the killings is being con- ducted by Coroner C. H. Hoffman of Converse county. Several witnesses already have been heard at the inquest and a verdict is ckpected tonight. The evidence, it is stated, has definitely established the fact that Mrs. Tubbs participated in the shooting. It is also indicated that she was killed by a bullet fired by one of the possemen who beseiged the couple in the Harry Hern store. Witnesses who had testified to the facts of the shooting before noon to- day included Harry Hern, owner of the Orin Junction store in which the shooting occurred; John Jensen, George Hern, and Deputy Sheriff Har- ry Churchill, all of Orin Junction; and Deputy Sheriff John McPherson of Douglas, who was the first to be wounded by the madman. No new developments were brought out at the hearing of these witnesses yesterday's story of the crime as reported in The Tribune having been substantiated. Among others questioned in connec- tion with the case was.John Stukes, brother-in-law of Ernest Tubbs, who gave what information he could on the mental condition of the couple. Stukes was not placed under arrest as pub- lished by one newspaper, and was not summoned for the inquest, but officers visited him at his ranch home and made the inquiries. No significance was attached to thiv visit. Predictions are freely made in Doug- las that a verdict of justifiable homi- cide will be returned in the case in- sofar as the deaths of Tubbs and his wife-are concerned.
