8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1913. 20 BRASS BANOS PARADE WITH MILITANT'S CORPSE Investigating Committee Goes After Lan^ Owners on Paint .and Cabin Creeks, and Of* ficers of Companies Miss Davison, Who Tried to Stop King’s Horse, Mourned as ‘'Martyr” to Cause AMERICAN OFFICERS TELL HOW MANY FRANTIC NATIVES WERE REPULSED IN FIERCE BATTLE it BRIDGIE” WEBBER, wilsdn writes special T E 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. 300 Die in Flood BOMBAY, India, June 16.—Floods cost the loss of 300 lives today in the Palitina district on the peninsula of Kathiawar, to the north of Bombay, on the Arabian sea.

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 and W. H. Stephens will make applica tion for bond, it said. It is understood 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. .If you like to go out hunting occasionally, just Bhoulder your gun _ and go out Into the woods some early morning and you’ll be greatly delighted when you drop the smallest bird off the tallest tree-top and distinguish a horse from a cow out in the pasture at the greatest distance and as far as your eye can reach with them on— and this even if your eyes are so very weak now that you cannot even read the largest headlines in this paper.

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. MORE THAN 2,500 AT A FOOT-WASHING (By Associated Press.) ANDERSON, *Ind., June 16.—More than 2,500 adherents of the Church of God from all sections of the country participated today in the annual foot washing ceremony at the national camp meeting which is being held near here. Thia ceremony was followed by the administration of the sacrament. Wom en members of the Church of God sect are not permitted to follow the fash ions and must not wear gay colored ribbons or plumage and the men wear no neckties. As a salutation men kiss each other.

White, of Paris, Tenn., president general of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy, has received an unexpected respons to a circular sent to chapters urging their aid for Confed erates desiring to attend the Gettysburg reunion. I General Ell Torrance, of Minneapolis, former Minnesota railroad commissioner, responded with two drafts for $125 and $20, respectively to be used in sending veterans of Lee’s army. 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.” One of the Alleged Gamblers Who Squealed at the Rosen thal Trial, Is Stabbed in the Back Early Saturday President Is Expected to Pre sent Message to Congress About June 23 or 24 SHOPS OF VIRGINIA “POLY” BURN DOWN Fire of Unknown Origin Does $150,000 Damage-$50,000 Insurance Carried. (By Associated Press.) BLACKSBURG, Va, June 16.—Fire of unknown origin destroyed the shops of the Virginia Polytechnic institute early today. The building was valued at $150,000 and was insured for $50,000. (By Associated Press.) 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. (By Associated Press.) 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.” To Women Who Dread Motherhood Information How They May Qlva Birth to Happy, Healthy Children Absolutely With. out Foar of pain.

The evi dence produced by the defendants in the case tended to show that Stevens used a house over which the prosecu tion was being waged, as a barn and at the time the house was burned it was filled with hay. Stevens sought to re cover $400, but Squire Eagar ruled that the house in question was over valued. MORRISTOWN, N.

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. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 16.—Attorney General McReynolds returned to Wash ington today and immediately began considering the proposal of the Union Pacific railroad made to the United 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. 5 Year Guarantee 98 cents To advartiae oar buainaia, make new friend* end lutroduoe oar great cat» logue of Elgin watches we will send this elegant watch to anjr address bj , mail postpaid for Only 98 oont*.
