THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 11, 1900 PERMIT SYSTEM USED TO DRIVE OUT UNION MEN How the Military Aided the Owners of Mines at Wardner. No One Affiliated With Labor Organ- izations Allowed to Resume ‘Work in the Dis- trict. DAL s WASHINGTON, March 10.—The cross- examination of Fred A. Martin, a miner, was continued at the Coeur d'Alene in- vestigation before the House Committee on Military Affairs to-day. He was close- 1y questioned by Representatives Mondell and Dick as to his presence on the train which carried the riotous party to Ward- ner. He maintained that he was there by chance and had no knowledge of or part in the attack on the mill. He saw some armed and masked men, but the serious- ness of the situation did not appear to him until after the mill was blown up. At one time, he sald, an own man pinned a ribbon on his coat, but there was no explanation of its meaning. om 8 distance he saw the explosions and after- vxl'nard nv:h one 05 the men (Shayne) lying shot on the road. The cross-examination of Martin lasted | throughout the day, and was very rigid. It led to frequent sharp controversies tween Representatives Lentz and Sulzer on one hand and Representatives Hull, l%lck and B;I?nde}l on the other, relative to the lines of inquiry. On redirect examination by Lents the | witness said that in all about 1000 union miners were taken from work in the mines and put into the “bull pen.” He | said the permit system, under which no man was allowed to go to work unless he held an official permit, was used to put non-union men in the mines and to drive unfon men out of the country. He that at one time, when he sought a per- mit, he was told to apply to the Governor, 600 miles away at Bolse. The War Department has supplied to the committee the following correspond- ence in response to requests: BOISE, Idabo, April 29, 1889.—To the Presi- dent, Washington D. C.: In_pursuance to the statute in such case made, I, Frank Steunen- berg, Governor of Idaho, the Legislature not being in session, and it not being possible to convene it, do hereby apply to the President of the United States to call forth the military forces of the United States to suppress insurrec- tion in Shoshone County, State of Idaho. This action is sustained in'the fact that all the available Tdaho Natlonal Guard volunteered for service in the Philippines, and that said county is in a state of insurrection. I am of the opin- ion that at least 500 troops in the aggregate will be mecessary, but emaller detachments should be ordered in as rapidly as possible. FRANK STEUNENBERG, Governor, April 0, 189 —Brigadier General Merriam, Denver: The Governor of Ydaho reports an insurrection beyond the power of the State to control in Shoshone County of that State. The acting Secretary of War directs | that you repair at once to the capital of that | State. and, after conferring with the authori- | ties there ' that you go to the seat of action, calling to your aid such troops as may be most convenient, regardless of department lines.

CHINKTONN WILL BE TREATED T0 ) CENERAL BHTH Board of Health Now Trying | to Redeem Itself Before | the Publie. —_— End of the Quarantine Fizzle Finally Allows the Chinese to Resume Business and Be Reason- ably Happy. RELL D By special shortest leased wire from Angel Island to San Francisco, a late bul- letin pronounces the monkey, guinea pig and rats inoculated with glandular poison taken from the Chinese who, with the aid of the Board of Health, caused so much unnecessary trouble, as being in good con- dition and thriving under the new hypo- dermic_treatment. The Board of Health has at last real- | ized the error of its ways and is now engaged In redeemlni its sanity by an a tive inspection of Chinatown. Three days of quarantine brought to the minds of | the members of the Board of Heaith the futility of attempting a game which the; in their inexperience had not mastered. The hornets’ nest about their ears caused them to lift the burden in advance of the | allotted time set for the death of mon- key, guilnea pig and rats. . The quarantine was raised none too soon. Not only was a great revenue shut off from the Gov- ernment, but inestimable Inconvenience was caused the traveling public, and many large manufacturers employing Chi- nese for labor that white men would not undertake. With the removal of the em- bargo the condition of things reached its | natural level and business in Chinatown and at the Custom-house has resumed its | former status. To glaze over their mistake, the Board of Health in its meeting Friday afternoon assed a resolution calling for a sanitary inspection of Chinatown. Yesterday morning Drs. O’'Brien, Chalmers, Fitzgib- | bon, Secretary Kelly and the entire corps | of sanitary inspectors pounced down upon Chinatown and began thelr work. From house to house the men moved, ordering refuse to be destroyed and a general | clean-up. This will be done until the en- tire Mongolian district is given a bath. If necessary, the bad places will be fumi- gated with formaldehyd. SAMUEL P. WARREN. A MINING MAN, MISSING Disappointment Drove Him to Drink and It Is Feared That He Has Met With an Accident.
