CHARLESTON, W. Va., June 16.—The
•United States senate sub-committee, in
vestigating the coal strike situation, to
day called on the men and women who
lived on Paint and Cabin creeks for
their stories of the struggle. The com
mittee continued its inquiry into the
general causes and conditions which led
up to the strike. |
A phase of the mine strike which has
not yet been touched upon will be de
veloped by Senator Kenyon. He served
notice on the attorneys for the mine
operators that he desired to secure rec
ords of the ownership of the land on
Paint and Cabin creeks, the capitaliza
tion and ownership of stock in the vari
ous coal operations, and the names of
officers .of the companies which oper
ate in the strike zone.
Attorney Knight, for the operators,
promised to call before the committee
on Monday the various officers of the
companies having the information which
Senator Kenyon desired, and said that
condensed statements of the financial or
ganization of the various companies
would be produced.
Senator Kenyon has said that he be
lieved that in order to arrive at a right
conclusion as to the causes of "war
conditions” in the strike zone, it will be
necessary for the committee to have evi
dence of the financial basis upon which
the mines are operated..
Senator Kenyon has taken a deep in
terest in the investigation and his visit
to the mine territory Thursday whetted
his desire for information. He said to
day that if he could possibly find time
after the committee concluded its hear
ings here, he intended to spend several
days in the strike zone making a per
sonal examination of how the miners
live and work.
The committee hoped to be able to
conclude today the examination of wit
nesses called by the miners in relation
to conditions on Paint and Cabin
creeks and to proceed on Monday with
the presentation of evidence to be intro
duced by the operators.
C. O. Honaker, a conductor on the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad was today’s
first witness. He said that prior to
April 30, 1913, mine guards in Cabin
Creek rode on trains on passes. These
guards, he said, were armed. Mr. Hon
aker said his train had been stoned
three times during the strike.
Former Governor Glasscock was re
called to the stand to be cross-examined
by counsel for the operators.
Under cross-examination, Governor
Glasscock told of calling a "state-wide
peace conference” which was attended
by some 400 or 500 “representative
citizens” from all over the state.
"Was the attitude of the representa
tive operators friendly toward that
meeting?” asked Mr. Belcher.
"I thought decidedly otherwise,” said
the governor.
W. A. Abbott, a delivery wagon
driver for an "outside store” in the
strike zone, testified that mine guards
prevented him from delivering supplies.
j. H. Pike, of Holly Grove, said that
mine guards shot the lock off his door.
"What did you do when the bullets
began to fly?” asked Senator Kenyon.
"Just stood and looked at’ them,”
said the miner.

LONDON, June 16.—Suffragettes, mili
tant as well as non-militant, came from
all parts of England today for the funer
al of Miss Emiline Welding Davison,
who met her death while interfering
with the king’s horse in the derby on
June 4.
A special train brought the body of
the "martwyrs” from Epsom to Victoria
station, where a procession of 6,000 wom
en was waiting to escort it across the
city to St. George’s church. Bloomsbury,
where the service was held*.
Crowds gathered early in the morning
in the vicinity of the militant suffragette
headquarters where the blinds were
down and a huge banner hung at half
mast. Many detachments of women ar
rived from the provinces to participate
in the parade. They were dwressed in
white with purple sashes. Twenty brass
bands furnished the music for the pro
cession.
There was a great display of banners,
bearing such legends as "fight and God
will give thee victory” or “unconquera
ble and not afraid.”
The train bearing the coffin left Ep
som station soon after 11 o’clock. The
coffin was covered with a purple pall
and was accompanied to London
by Miss Davison’s brother and
a suffragette guard of honor.
The program arranged last night was
for the funeral procession to pass
through the main streets of London,
between Victoria station and Blooms
bury. This morning the officials of
Scotland yard suggested that the wom
en should parade through the quieter
side streets. The suffragette leaders
became highly indignant and announced
that they would pay no attention to the
police. The possibilities of a collision
thus seemed likely.
The funeral procession started from
Victoria station at 2 o’clock. The cof
fin covered with flowers, was in an
open hearse drawn by four black
horses.
Enormous crowds surrounded the sta
tion, making progress difficult.
The parade was divided Into eleven
sections. The suffragettes marched in
fours, all carrying flowers.
The coffin was in the middle of the
procession and the clergy of St
George’s church, Bloomsbury, marched
at the head. The rector of the church,
Dr. Baumgarden. had issued a state
ment that he was not a sympathizer
with the woman’s militant tactics.
With ttie exception of Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, who was rearrested today,
and "General” Mrs. Flqra Drummond,
who is 111, all the leaders of the mili
tant organization occupied prominent
places in the procession.
Owing to the dense throng the pro
cession moved very slowly.
There was some slight booing here
and there but the crowds were for the
most part orderly and sympathetic.
A deal of confusion and commotion
was caused by the report that the po
lice would compel the paraders to
proceed through secluded streets.
There was no serious trouble, however.
TWO GRANTED BAIL
IN STEPHENS CASE
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CORDELE, 6a., June 16.—Application
for bail for J. J. Coleman, Enoch McEl-
more and W. W. Ridgeway, who were
charged together with W. A. Coleman
and W. H. Stephens with the murder of
Leon Melvin, which occurred in Wilcox
county on April 6, was heard today in
Cordele before Judge W. F. George of
the Cordele judicial circuit and after
a lengthy hearing, bail was granted to
McElmore and Ridgeway, in the sum of
$100.00 and they have been released
from jail in Wilcox county. The appli
cation of J. J. Coleman for bail was
continued for ten days.
It is not likely that W. A. Coleman

that W. A. Coleman and W. H. Stephens
will make an application for change of
venue from Wilcox county to Crisp
county at the next term of Wilcox super
ior court. However, no definite steps
have been taken in this matter.
Several prominent attorneys were
here representing the defendants at this
hearing.

Probably Fiercest Battle Since
American Occupation, Say
Cabled Descriptions of Hot
Engagement With Moros
CPv t.«d Prp*^.) .
WASHINGTON, June 16.—"Probably
no fiercer battle since American occupa
tion,” is the description by Brigadier
General Pershing, of the battle with the
Moros yesterday, in his report by cable
today to the war department.
The Moros made desperate attempts to
rush the American lines, but were final
ly beaten back and overwhelmed. Their
leader, Amil, and several other noted
outlaws, were reported killed, but the to
tal loss of the Moros was not reported.
One American officer, Taylor A. Nich
ols, of the Philippine Scouts, was killed;
First Lieutenant Edwin H. Rackley,
Philippine Scouts, was wounded, and
three Philippine Scouts of the Fifty-
first company, all natives, were killed.
General Pershing’s report was as
follows:
On June 12 the Moros’ resistance at
Bagsag was formidable, and their forts
and trenches on the precipitous side of
the crater not only supported each other
strongly but were defended with mod
ern arms. The Moros fanatically and
continuously tried to rush the American
lines, but the careful disposition of our
forces held the American loss to a min
imum. Probably there has been no
fiercer battle since American occupa
tion.
HOW BATTLE WAS FOUGHT.
‘Major George C. Shaw, of the Philip
pine Scouts, commanded the ri^ht wing
with Company M, Eighth regiment, U. S.
infantry, and Fortieth company, Philip
pine Scouts. Captain Taylor A. Nichols,
of the Philippine /Scouts, commanded
the left wing with the Fifty-first, Fifty-
second and Twenty-ninth companies,
Philippine Scouts. A mountain gun was
with each wing and proved of great as
sistance. At the close of yesterday’s
fighting Captain Patrick Moylan, of
the Philippine Scouts, with two com
panies was supporting the gun on
Mount Bunga, and the American force
occupied a controlling position on the
rim o fthe crater.
‘First Lieutenant Edwin H. Rackley,
Philippine Scouts, was slightly wounded,
and three Moro scouts of the Fifty-first
company, were killed. Captain Taylor
A. Nichols was killed in the early morn
ing fighting and it is a serious loss to
the army. Amll and several leading
outlaws reported killed.
Other Moro losses still unknown.”
REASON FOR ATTACK.
A cablegram from Major General Bell
not only explains the reason for the
attack upon the Moros’ stronghold but
assumes responsibility with General
Pershing. General Bell said:
‘The fight at Bagsag was incident to
the disarmament policy of the govern
or general, (Cameron Forbes) and the
governor of the Moro province, adopt
ed after many months of patient but
fruitless negotiations and marked oy
promises, disregarded by the Moros. A
situation arose that I believe left no
alternative. Amil and a relatively small
following occupying one ward of the is
land of Jolo were the only Moros who
refused to give up their arms peace
fully. Disarmament was generally de
sired by the Moros themselves. All or
the rest surrendered their arms months
ago without resisting. Under the cir
cumstances it was impossible and un
just to the disarmed Moros to permit
few of them to retain arms.”
The Moros’ last stand was on the
island of Jolo, not much larger than
the District of Columbia. Datto Amil
was a brigand and pirate preying upon
the peaceful element of his own people.
General Pershing’s report was made
before the end of the battle and Gener
al Bell has called for details of the con
clusion.

SPENT 120,000 II YEAR FOR
THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
E OF
Henry T. Oxnard Tells Lobby
Committee None Was Spent
Illegally, However
WASHINGTON, June 16,—Henry T.
Oxnard, the millionaire vice president
of the American Beet Sugar company,
testified today before the senate lobby
committee that he estimated he had
spent on an average of $20,0U.0 a year
m Washington tor the last twenty-tnree
years in behalf of the b£et sugar in
dustry.
He declared not a C^ent had been
spent illegally. Each year when he
was at his home in Washington, he de
clared, he came to the capitoi to watch
legislation and see hfs friends among
the senators.
Senator Reed demanded that the wit
ness give the name of senators who
were his friends.
"Most all the senators,” replied Mr.
Oxnard.
“You need not include me in that
list,” declared Senator Reed.
"Well, I call Senator Overman one
of my friends -and Senator Cummins,
there and—I don’t know how about
Senator Nelson,” said the witness.
Senator Overman promptly asked Mr.
Oxnard if he had ever called upon him
at his office or house or if he had
j ever attended Mr. Oxnard’s entertain-
merits.
| Mr. Oxnard replied in the negative.
The committee adjourned until Mon
day without finishing the examination.
john H. Carroll, oi st. Louis, attorney
for the Hill system of railroads, was
the first witness today in the lobby in
vestigation. His only tarig activity, he
said, was the niing of a brief for the
Great Northern and Burlington roads,
dealing with creosote oil.
"I want to say that the so-called Hill
railroads have no one. in Washington
trying to influence legislation,” said ne.
Anselm Wold, the senate printing
clerk, testified about - the orders for
printing "Sugar at a Glance,” an anti-,
iree sugar document; prepared by Tru
man :GC. Palmer, representing beet sugar
interests and circulated free under the
tranking privilege of Senator Lodge. The
committee has uevelOped testimony on
whether Palmer was permitted to
change the document after the senate
had ordered it printed.
Turning to Senator Overman, Wold
referred to a previous conversation
about tne incident and added;
"I told you then, somebody had. been
monkeying with orders here and I still
think so.”
"An insidious lobbyist,” who did not
tell his name, was literally kicked out
of the senate document room today.
"I’ll help the president get rid of
insidious lobbyists,” was the exclama
tion of R. M. Cooper, assistant super
intendent of the document room, as he
booted a tall, recalcitrant man through
the door.
The victim of the booting, who fled
down the capitoi steps, had been abus
ing employes because they did not fur
nish him with some printed documents
relating to indigo tariff rates printed
only for the finance committee.
Assistant Superintendent Cooper said
he ordered him to le&ve this morning.
"He rushed into the room,” said
Cooper, "and threw his hand back to
ward his hip pocket. Then I kicked
him into the hall. That’s one way to
handle such lobbyists.”

NEW YORK, June 16.—President
Webber, one of the four gamblers who
testified against Police Lieutenant
Becker and the gunmen convicted of
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, an
other gambler, was stabbed in the
shoulder early this morning under cir
cumstances which he seemed loathe to
explain.
He was in the St. Vincents hospital
today suffering some pain and weak
from the loss of blood but his wound
will have no serious result unless blood
poisoning sets in. Although branded
by some of his former associates in the
underworld as a "squealer” in the Ro
senthal case, the little "informer”
closed up tight when detectives tried
to pry from him at the hospital this
morning the story of the attack upon
him.
At first Webber tried to hide even
bis own. identity and the fact that he
had bon wounded.
The stabbing occurred on East Eighth
street. Webber tried to walk away on
the arm of a friend, hiding the wound,
but on Broadway, in front of Grace
church, he sank exhausted and admit
ted to a policeman that he had been
stabbed. His identity was discovered
by Detective Harvey, who worked on
the Rosenthal case.
Webber at first did not account for
the stabbing at all. Then he said a
small boy ran out of a house behind
him and plunged ^ pen knife into his
shoulder.
Further questioning indicated that
seriously. Webber finally declared:
“I don’t know who stabbed me and I
don’t want to know.”
Detectives learned that Webber had
kept a midnight engagement with Sam
Paul, another gambler, who talked of
"croaking” Rosenthal. He lately has
kept a small restaurant near Eighth
street. It appeared that Webber had
been attacked shortly after concluding
his engagement with Paul.
It will be eleven months next Mon
day since the murder of Herman Ro
senthal occurred. Although Webber
was arrested in the ’round-up of gam
blers that followed and was charged
with implication in the murder he
never was tried. With "Bald” Jack
Rose and others he turned state’s evi
dence and helped to send former Police
Lieutenant Becker and the four gunmen
to Sing Sing, where they are under
death sentence.
If the attack upon Webber is an act
pf revenge for his part in the Becker-
Rosenthal case, It is the first instance
of any attack on the witnesses.
The police up to an early hour to
day had made no arrest in connection
with the stabbing.

WASHINGTON, June 16.—President
Wilson still wants currency legislation
enacted at the present session of con
gress and will bend every effort to ac
complish it. The doubt raised by utter
ances of senators close to the adminis
tration that they were opposed to cur
rency reform during the present session
■was cleared when it became known that
the president planned to write his cur
rency message to congress today. It
will be presented about June 23 or 24.
It also was announced today that Sec
retary McAdoo and Chairmen Owen and
Glass, of the senate and house banking
and currency committees, respectively,
had reached an agreement on the main
features of the currency bill they have
been drafting for two months.
The president, it is understood, how
ever, will not go into detail in his mes
sage, preferring to back the Owen-Glass
bill as an expression of his ideas. His
argument will be along the lines of
his letter recently to Senator Tillman, in
whic hhe declared that in loyalty to the
country, currency legislation was neces
sary during the present session of con
gress, "so that any attempt to create
artificial disturbances After the tariff
shall have become law may be offset by
a free system of credit which will
maKe it possible for men, big and little,
to take care of themselves in business.”

CHICAGO, June 16.—William J. Col-
houn, former United States minister to
China, appeared today as a witness
for the defense at the International
Harvester company anti-trust suit hear
ing. He vas questioned about an al
leged lobby by means of which, the
government charges, an investigation of
the harvester company by the Kansas
legislature was prevented in 1903.
Mr. Calhoun said the harvester com
pany had employed an attorney in To
peka to look after its interests in Kan
sas while legislation hostile to it was
pending.
“This attorney—W. H. Rossinglon,
now dead—was told,” said Mr. Calhoun,
“that no matter how harmful the leg
islation proposed might be, nothing un
der any circumstances was to be paid
the men who were behind the framing
of the bills.”
Charles Blood Smith, a member of
the Topeka law firm to which Rossing
lon belonged, denied his firm had done
any lobbying for the harvester compa
ny. On cross-examination Mr. Smith
admitted that the harvester company
had paid Rossinglon $8,545 for services
during February and March, 1903.

States court at St. Paul to exchange
$38,000,000 of Southern Pacific stock
for the Pennsylvania railroad’s hold
ings of Baltimore and Ohio.
Such an arrangement, incidental to
the dissolution of the Union Pacific
merger, the attorney general said, did
not on the surface present a situation
to which the government could object,
but he was studying the Inter-relation
of the roads and seeking advice to de
termine whether the transfer could be
regarded as obnoxious.
With the present holdings of Union
Pacific in Baltimore and Ohio the pro
posed transfer would give to the Union
Pacific 38.2 per cent of the entire out
standing stock of Baltimore and Ohio,
according to the attorney general’s ad
vices.
By acquiring $38,000,000 of Southern
Pacific stocks the Pennsylvania would
control 14 per cent of the entire out
standing stock of the Southern Pacific.
So far the attorney general has not
found any indication that competition
would be suppressed.
