SHOOT EACH OTHER
STRIKING MINERS IN COLORADO
FIGHT MINE GUARDS
MARTIAL LAW DECLARED
Governor Amnions Calls Out State
Troops to Restore Peace?Mine
Guards Use Machine Guns and
High Power Kllles on Strikers Refore
the Arrival of Troops.
State troops have been ordered into
the coal Holds of Colorado to put
an end to the brutal fighting between
mine guards in the employ of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company and
8,000 striking miners. Gov. Ammons
has declared martial law in the region,
has ordered all mine guards and
strikers disarmed and all saloons
closed during the continuance of the
strike. At the same time he has
served an ultimatum on the operators
that no striko breakers may bo imported,
but that the troops may bo
used 10 protect striKora wisning to
return to work.
The presence of the troops It Is believed
will put an end to the bloody
fighting that has characterized the
latter stages of the strike and may
bring about an early settlement.
Three troops of cavalry, two batteries
of artillery and a troop of ijifantry
from Denver were joined by
five companies of infantry from
Southern Colorado and 500 men from
other sections of the state in the mining
district, where fierce fighting was
in progress for 2 4 hours previous to
the arrival of the troops.
In battles at Ludlow, Berwlnd and
Tabasco two miners were killed and a
number wounded. The men and deputies
fought in a driving snow.
In a pitched battle at Walsenburg
two miners were killed, four wounded
and a number seriously bruised in
a fight with mine guards. The guards
were ejecting a miner from a company
house when the fight started.
High power rifles were used at close
range in driving back the mob. One
guard was injured. In another fight
in the same city seven men were killed
and a score wounded, including
three mine guards.
At Ludlow one mine guard was
killed and one striker reported killed
in a fight that lasted 12 hours,
during which bullets fairly rained on
the tents in which the wives and children
of miners were sheltered from
the weather. The miners of the region
have all left the comnanv hmtsos
and are living In tents.
Strikers captured seven guards at
Chlcosa Junction and, after half an
hour of hard fighting, took a machine
gun from the steel cars In which mine
guards were being hurried to the
trouble zone. Tho train was forced
to back down out of the region. Detectives
were immediately put on
trail of the gun for fear the miners
would turn it on the mine guards.
Miners declare that on several occasions
at Ludlow and other trouble
centers guards have turned machine
tuns on defenceless tents. They asy
rt also that saft-nose or dum-dum
bullets' are being used in the guns.
Tho typo is not permitted in international
warfare.
While the ordering of troops to the
coal fields followed the failure of
Gov. Amnions' efforts to arrange a
settlement, an additional reason for
the action was found in the list of
casualties and property damage that

about two miles north of Asheville on
a high plateau overlooking the city,
on the route of a scenic highway that
was built durtng the day across Gold

the day on this section of highway,
and it is estimated that oyer

and the festivities following in
celebration of the completion of the
work. Reports from over the State
indicate a wide Interest in the movement.

Ammunition is Stolen.
Ten thousand cartridges, taken
from army stores, have been stolen
and smuggled across the Mexican border.
They were abstracted from
cases belonging to the Ninth (negro)

NOT IN SENATE FIGHT
LEVER HAS DECIDED NOT TO ENTEH
THE HACK.
Popular Congressman Will Remain
in the House as Chairman of Committee
on Agriculture.
That Congressman A. F. Lever will
announce that ho will not bo in the
Senatorial race, thus leaving the field
to Senator E. D. Smith and Governor
Bleaso, is the information sent to
The News and Courier from its correspondent
in Columbia Saturday night
from a high and authoritative source.
It has been felt that Congressman
Lever had made up his mind not to
enter the Senatorial race, and the
confirmation of this came Saturday
according to the correspondent, from
a source reliable and authoritatlvo.
The announcement from Congressman
Lever has been awaited for several
weeks. It is known that strong
pressure was brought to bear on him
to enter the race for the Senate and it
was also reported from reliable quarters
that Senator Tillman was trying
to induce Mr. Lever to run for the
upper house. It is known that Congressman
Lever consulted his friends
from all parts of the State and ho has
promised to make a public statement
before returning to Washington.
It is believed that Congressman
Lever will seek re-election in his district
to Congress for he is very popular,
and being chairman of the committoo
on agriculturo is a power in
tllO House. Tt '<=? nlan hollovo.1 t)m(l
ho will stand for election to the seat
now held by Senator Tillman when
the next election for that seat comes
off. There has been some tallc of
Congressman Lever as a possible candidate
for Governor, but it is not
thought that he has given this latter
suggestion any serious consideration.
In fact, when approached about this
suggestion, Congressman Lever asked
where the talk was coming from
and apparently hadn't heard the matter
mentioned before. All of the members
of Congress from this State were
visltora at the Fair aa was Senator
Smith. The next Senatorial fight ia
said to have been talked considerably.
That Congressman Lever would
have made the race for the Senate
against Governor Blease if Senator
Smith would have retired is also believed.
but Senator Smith is going to
make the fight. His friends think he
can win, they say so in large numbers.
Friends of Congressman Lever,
some of them at least, told him that
if he entered the Senatorial race with
Senator Smith and Governor Blease
he would stand a good chance of being
sacrificed and would endanger
his whole political future. Some of
his most staunch supporters vigorously
opposed him entering the Senatorial
fight and then, too, they pointed
out the general impression which
in their opinion is State-wide that
Mr. Lever is tho natural and logical
man to take the place of Senator Tillman
when bo retires from the Senate.
Mr. Lover is strong all over the

in a race for the Senate even
against Senator Smith and Governor
Rlease that every one admits. Rut
some of the most prominent of his
supporters think it would he political
suicide for his to go into the fight.
When Mr. Lever was subsequently
shown the article printed above, he
stated that as yet he had not definitely
determined whether ho would enter
the senatorial race or not.
HITERTA ASKS MEDIATION
?
French Government Will Do Nothing
Until Advised by U. S.
The French foreign office has been
asked informally by the Mexican foreign
office If it was disposed to mediate
between the United States and
Mexico. The French government
has taken the position that it will do
nothing until further advised as to
the policy of the United States, and
then nothing which might bo unwelcome.
Stato department officials at Washington
take the position that the action
of the French office In refraining
rrora indicating wnetner it was disposed
to mediate between Mexico and
the United States is another evidencec
of the intention of France to defer
to the policy of the United Staes in
the Mexican situation. Secretary
Bryan said of the Paris dispatch:
"In the absence of official advices
from the French foreign office I am
unwilling to make any comment."
Franco was among the first of the
European nations to accode to the request
of the United Staes to defer
action in the Mexican situation until
the Washington government had formulated
and announsd 'is policy. *

Traction Company Gives 1'p Running
of Cars When Chief of Police Stutes .
That Situation is Rcyouil Control.
Tho Indiana Traction and Terminal
company, of Indianapolis, lnd., T
whose men went on strike Friday
night, Saturday attempted to run its
cars, but gave up when notitled by
Superintendent of Police Hyland that
the police would be unable to prevent
bloodshed unless tho cars wero
withdrawn.
Joseph Johnson, a striking motorman,
was shot and wounded by a .
policeman who fired into the crowd j
that surged around tho first car sent ?
out. Two cars were taken from tho (
barns, each tilled with policemen, but r
the crowds packed around thorn so
tightly they could not be moved. (
Soon after tho shooting of Johnson ,
the cars were ordered back to the
barns.
Governor Ralston in a statement
Saturday night charged that the city .
authorities are not doing their duty
in failing to provide police protection.
Ho refused to call out tho State
militia at Mayor Shank's request and
declared that the mayor has full authority
and power to provide protec- t
tion to run the cars. Superintendent
cf Police Hyland notified Robert I.
Todd, president of the Traction Com- f
pany, that he would supply as many .
men as possible, and Todd declared
ho would start the cars as soon as tho
police wero ready to go with them. .
The down-town streets remained
packed with people all day, though .
most of the disturbances ended when
the attempt to move the cars ceased. f
Policemen mingled with the crowds,
but made little effort to disperse
them. Four policemen turned in
their badges and resigned when ordered
to accompany the cars. Super- .
intendent Hyland gave orders to arrest
patrol wagon-loads in order to
disperse the crowds, but not more
than a dozen men were taken to the
police station during the day.
Bicycle Policemen Golnisch and
Baston were struck by bricks and
hurt while trying to disperse a crowd
of men and boys at Illinois and Washington
streets. Ueut. Barmfuhrer,
in charge of the police guarding the
Louisiana street car bars, was struck
by a missile and had to be taken
home. The streets around the car
barns, where most of the imported
strike-breakers are held, wore crowded
most of the day, but the strike
sympathizers made no attack on the
barns. Late Saturday night, however,
bricks wero thrown through all
tho windows in tho barns.
In an attempt to rush the car
barns on Louisiana street, whore the
imported strike-breakers are quartered,
Isaac Fleischer, aged 2 4, a nonurion
motorman from Philadelphia,
was fatally shot in the nock and died
on tho way to tho City Hospital.
Fleischer, it is said, was shot by one (
of the men in the barn, who was tiring
into the crowd from a secondstory
window.
The police had the streets around
tho barns roped and when they let
down the ropes for an automobile to
pass the crowd rushed through. The }
crowd DUShed nast the nnllep nnrl nu i
they approached the barns they were '
met with a volley of shots from the '
second story windows of the barns.
Fleischer fell almost at the feet of
Police Sergt. Sanders, when ho was 1
helping to hold back the crowd. <
About a dozen shots were fired, but
Fleischer wan the only person hit.
The mob then started for tho West 1
Washington street barns, but was
met at the Labor Temple by Milton L. <
Clawson, an attorney, prominent in
labor circles, who pleaded with the
crowd to abstain from violence. Tho ;
trip was abandoned. ' i
AMATEUR HOMIER CAUGHT.
Clerk Takes $100 to Pay Hot and
Locks Himself in Trunk.
7
After losing an election bet of $100
and finding himself unable to pay it,
Joseph Cohen, a fur importer's clerk,
of New York, pilfered the amount
from his firm's safe, according to his
alleged confession to tho police
Thursday, and then locked himself in
a trunk in an effort to stage a robbery
in which he was to play the role
of victim. A member of the firm,
who rescued Cohen from the trunk
after the supposed robbery, thought
it strange that the "thieves" left behind
$75,000 worth of furs, and had
Cohen arrested.

Sometimes It la aaid that aucceaa
in life depends upon one's ability to

Oftentimes success depends
upon letting go. Certainly people
ought not to hold on to and carry In'o

nor to drag the present tank into the
next piece of labor they undertake.
The New York World says the belief

rhe Legislature Will ho Asked to Appropriate
Forty Thousand Dollars
to Kid the State of the Destructive
Dost That Causes a lli? I/oss Each
Year to the Farmers.
The State says definite steps wore
aken Saturday at a conforouee In Coumbia
of farmers, stock raisers, legslators,
representatives of Clemson
College, experts from the federal bueau
of animal industry and others,
sailed together by the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce, with a view
o eradicating the cattle tick in those
ouuties In South Carolina which are
itill under the federal quarantine.
The conference bids fair to give
nipetus to the neglected industry of
attlo raising in South Carolina, as
veil as to sot the State and federal
governments working together to
vipo out the tick pest In the shortest
)osslble time. Briefly summarized,
he ends towards which the conference
decided to work were:
Securing a $4 0,000 appropriation
rom the State of South Carolina for
he maintenance of a largo State organization
under the direction of
Memson Collego to eradicate tlie catlo
tick.
Securing the co-operation of the
ederal bureau of animal Industry
villi the Stato organization for tho
ight against ticks.
Toward tho attainment of these
mds, the conference decided to aploint
a committee of five to wait on
ho ways and means committee of the
louse and finance committee of the
innate to urge tho appropriation of
i40,000 for cattle tick eradication in
hose counties still quarantined. The
lommltteo will appoint a local comnittee
of flvo members in each county
o awaken the farmers and live stock
uen to the importance of wiping out
he cattle tick.
The conference decided to request
?very bank in South Carolina to get
ip a petition signed by its customers
o the members of the general assein)ly
from tho county in which it is located,
asking them to vote for the apiropriation
of $4 0,000 for tick erad
ik r. rayior, or Columbia,
?ecretary of tho South Carolina Colon
Soc<l Crushers' Associhtion, anlounced
that Bimilar petitions would
>e at every cotton oil mill in tho state
where they could ho conveniently
dgned hy tho farmers.
Ono of tlie most important feat urea
)f the conference was the announcenent
hy A. P. Lever, congressman
'rom the Seventh South Carolina disrict
and chairman of the house comnittee
on agriculture, that federal aid
'or tho fight against the cattlo tick
would certainly ho forthcoming aa
loon aa the State undertook the f'.ght
>n a large acale with a well organized
'orce in the field.
B. H. Rawl, chief of the dairy division
of the federal bureau of animal
industry, made the key-note speech
>f the conference. Dr. M. Hay Powers,
of Clemson college, explained the
work which has already been accomplished
toward relegating the tick
to tho scrap heap. They were followed
hy several other speakers. The live-]
ly interest among tho auditors was
Indicated hy the number of questions
asked tho experts who spoke.
An interesting phase of the conference
was tho fact that it went on
record aa favoring the passage of a
law for the operation of plants by the
State to grind limestone and oyster
shells for use in liming the land. A
resolution to this effect was introduced
by W. W. Long, State farm
demonstration agent and seconded
by Richard I. Manning, of Sumter.
The conference realized that the use
of lime on tho lands in this State
was necessary to make the best pasturage
for cattlo and to grow tho best
forago crops.
Mr. Rawl spoke of the certain coming
of tho boll weevil and the conditions
which follow it. "How aro we
going to meet the conditions the weevil
brings about unless we broaden
explained that Clemson had asked
Mr. Rawl. Mr. Rawl urged tho building
of pasture land and putting waste
land to work to raiso beef.
Dr. Powers of Clemson Collego,
Stato veterinarian, told of tho work
which has been done in tick eradication
already in South Carolina. Ho
explained tho Clemson had ask-ed
aid from citizens in various counties
last yoar to supplement county
appropriations and that made by tho
collego.
"Wo need a State appropriation for
tliA u'rjrl/ " t-v?
v..v .. ?, uov/iuieti m~. rowers. " ino
present method of county to county
work Is not economic. We will need
about $40,000 from the State and a
like amount from the government to
rid South Carolina of the tick. The
eladication of the cattle tick in itself
is not a problem. It Is no troublo to
kill Mr. Tick. The real problem is
to get tho men In the Stato aroused
to tho Importance of doing so.
E. N. Nlghbert, United State officer
In charge of tick eradication in
South Carolna and Georgia told the
conferenco that the (lipping vat was
the business liko way of ridding cattle
of ticks, and that the spray pump
was merely an accessory to it. Dr.
Nighbort Baid he believed the time
had como for extensive tick eradication
work in South Carolina.
"If we had an appropriation of $40,000
from tho State and a liko amount
from tho United States bureau of animal
industry," said Dr. Nighbert. "tho
entire State of South Carolina would
bo free from the quarantine against
the ticks in a year or two."
Kiehard I. Manning of Sumter was
called on to explain w'hv the present
source of revenue for tick eradication
was inadequate. He pointed out that
public work already made a big hole
In tho income of Clemson college and
said that it could not bo expected to
make tho $40,000 appropriation tinless
it wore to drop some of tho work
it is doing at present. Mr. Manning
declared that in his opinion the appropriation
for tick eradication
should come directly from tho State
treasury.
Dr. Ramsay, chief of field inspection
work for tho bureau, doscrlbed
the various stages through which tick
eradication work progressed in tho
various States with which tho bureau
cooperates.
"We are ready to put up the money
any time that you can show us that
you are organized and ready to begin
working with definite ideas In
view of freeing South Carolina from
tho tick," declared Dr. Ramsay. He
exnlained Hint in \n?oiaiMn?ii
Georgia thoro wore good organizations
and the State departments of
agriculture there were working hand
in hand with the bureau of animal indust
ry.
Dr. Ham say was asked a number
of questions about the conditions
which will have to be fulfilled before
the bureau of animal industry would
begin active work in South Carolina.
\V. W. Dong, State agent in charge
of farm demonstration work said that
the use of land lime was important
work in connection with the cattle
Industry as it was necessary to build
up pastures and grow forage crops
in South Carolina.
Mr. Raw! introduced to the conference
A. F. Lover, congressman from
the house committee on agriculture.
Mr. Lever declared that the meeting
was a most important one, illustrating
the fact that agriculture was
in a stato of transition and that the
people of South Carolina were fully
awake to the possibilities in farming.
"When I was first elected to congress
the cattle tick proposition was
put before the committee on agriculture,
of which I was a member." said
Mr. Lever. "The government is spending
through the bureau of animal industry
the sum of $1175,000 each year
now to fight tlie cattlo tick.
"The question which most concerns
this conference is whether South Carolina
will put herself in readiness to
receive the cooperation of the federal
government in the flirht. ae.iinst tlw>
tick," continued Mr. Lever. "I do not
believe that there has been any lack
of organization in the cattle tick work
which has resulted in wiping out the
pest and raising the federal quarantine
in a number of counties, but I
do think that there is a decided need
that the scope of the work be enlarged.
"The State is getting now $1 1,000
from the federal government Tor cattle
tick eradication and about $0,000
[from Clemson college. Experts estimated
that the tick is costing the
State from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000
each year. If wo hasten the process
of eradication, we will save the State
enormous sums.
"I do not believe that there will
he any difficulty about getting an
appropriation from the State fOr the
tight on the cattle tick If the legislators
will prove to the people that the
tax money for this purpose is being
wisely expended. The federal department
of agriculture is beginning tc
demand that the people should show
a disposition to help themselves before
it helps them. If I go to Secretary
Houston of the department, whe
is one of the very biggest men in the
cabinet, and tell him that the South
Carolina legislature has appropriated
$40,000 for tick eradication, you car
bet your bottom dollar that the State
will get $40,000 from the federal department
of agrleultudo to aid In win.
Ing out tho tick.
"I bellevo that this is an opportunity
for your general assembly tc
do something fundamentally big foi
tho farmers of South Carolina," declared
Mr. Lever. "With tho invasion
of tho boll weevil only a few years
off South Carolina must break awaj
irum mo inraiKiom or King Cottor
and branch out in other lines of agriculture.
The boll weevil is coming
and it will work havoc with out onelegged
system of agriculture. Wc
might as well, therefore, prepare foi
the coming storm and give the farm
ers more logs to stand on by oncour
j aging the live stock, poultry and oth
cr industries which can be carried or

SPIES IN GEM MINES
DETECTIVES WATCH SOUTH AFRICAN
DIAMOND MIXES.
Trained Men Fos? an Unscrupulous
Hujrers to Trap Workers After They
Have Been Four Months in Mines.
Four thousand detectives and spies
aro employed to protect the fabulous
wealth of tho DoHeers diamond mines
near Klniherley, South Africa. They
work within tho compounds or guard
fences with the 2,000 Europeans and
1 7,000 nativo Kaffirs, or as unscrupulous
diamond buyers on the outside.
In spite of their vigilance and extreme
care, tho DeHeers assert tho
"leakage" last year was nearly $2,500,000
and that the average for a
number of years has been near tho
$2,000,000 mark.
Illicit diamond buyers hav? made
a fortune in South Africa despite the
activities of detectives. They are
still buying, but the penalty for having
uncut and unregistered diamonds
in hand hns been made extremely
severe, and stolen diamonds are becoming
leas. A man caught with an
unregistered gem is doomed to many
years in prison.
The Kaffirs, or nativo blacks, are
kept within tho compounds four
months at a time and are not allowed
to leave the holdings of the company
until five days after they have left
tne mines. This is to prevent tholr
swollowlng diamonds in an effort to
carry them to their homes. In order
to prevent escapes practically 4,000
miles of barbed wire fence lias been
strug about the mines. (entanglements
charged with electricity are a
terror to the hearts of the nativo
blacks and few attempt to escapo
even after stealing gems.
Since the swallowing method of
stealing has become futile, Kaffirs
wrap diamonds in pieces of cloth or
tin and throw them over the fence to
a spot which the chief can keep In
mind until he gets out. Guards watch
these and usually foil the thief in his
scheme.
Every diamond mine in the Klmberley
region is registered. Kiae,
weight, shape, color and nppearanco
are taken and with these to go by detectives
havo little difficulty tracing
thefts when stones are found in the
possession of natives or suspicious
whites.
FOR TIIK PKOIMjK'H GOOD
Currency Rill Was Revised in iho
Interest, of the 1'iihlic.
i no currency mil now Deroro CXrngross,
which has the unqualified endorsement
of President Wilson and
his Administration involves three
fundamental principles:
First: The notes Issued must he issued
by the government and not by
the banks.
Second: The issue must be controlled
by public servants and not by
private institutions or individuals.
Third: The emergency currency
Issued must bo issued through stato
banks as well as through national
banks.
The bill as prepared observes these
three requirements. The right of the
government to issue money is not
surrendered to the banks; the control
over the money so Issued is not
relinquished by the government; and
national bnnkB are not given a monopoly
of the benefits flowing from the
issue of those emergency notes, but
must share the benefits with the State
banks In the several States. This is a
I
good feature of the measure, and will
help the stato banks and distribute
, ,tho emergency notes quicker than 1!
their distribution had to bo made by
( the national banks alone.
The regional reserve banks will
prove of great advantage to business.
Each reservo bank will be a commercial
center and this center will bo
t much nearer to the extremes than
the few large cities are to the banks
I which have heen compelled to reaeh
( the public through them. These re,
gional reserve hanks will give to the
individual banks a security for thetr
reserves that is lacking under the
present system?a security which will
go far toward preventing panics.
President Wilson has his heart set
. on the passage of the currency bill,
and we hope he will have his wishes
. gratified, as it is to the interests of
? tho country to have it passed as soon
r as possible. It will eliminate Wall
Street as the manipulator of tho currency
of the country and thus eliminate
also ready-made panics in tho
' money market. This currency bill la
framed in the interest of the whole
. country and should be promptly passed
by Congress. Some of tho big national
banks are fighting it, but that
