WIFE HE GOES TO AID
SERVES DIVORCE WRIT
Feeling Tense in Strike District
as Inquest Into Deaths of
Seventy-two Goes On,
CADUMET, MICH., Dec. 30.—A
tens* situation had developed here
to-^ay with more than 500 armed
citizens walking the streets looking
for an outbreak on the part of the
striking copper miners and their
sympathizers. Intense bitterness has
developed over the testimony at the
Coroner’s inquest into the death of 72
victims of the Christmas Eve panic,
which tended to show that the man
who shouted fire in Italia Hall wore a
citizens' Alliance badge. This testi
mony, however, has not been abso
lutely convincing and controverting
witnesses are looked for this after
noon.
The feeling i«? further intensified by
the continued arrivals of strikebreak
ers. principally from New York, and
the Citizens’ Alliance is just as bitter
against the strike leaders.
Houses of the more prominent mer
chants are guarded by detectives and
officers of the mines and members? of
ihe Western Eederation of Miners
walk the streets with two or three
husky gunmen following closely.
Nor has the theft of the moving
picture films of the big funeral tend
ed to Improve matters. The film
operator reported that his room in
the hotel where the pictures were
Kept had been broken into and the
films stolen. The theft is being vig
orously denounced as an attempt to
stifle publicity for the cause of the
miners.
Representative members of the cit
izens’ organization to-day declared
that the Western Federation of Min
ers’ agents would be driven out of the
Calumet region, and that Charles H.
Moyer, president of the union, who is
now in Chicago recovering from a
bullet wound which he says was in
flicted by one of a mob of citizens
who drove him from Houghton last
Friday night, will not be permitted to
return to the district.
The inquest proceeded to-day and
just before Attorney O. N. Hilton,
representing the Western Federation
of Miners, left for the Red Jacket
town hall he said confidently that he
would produce several witnesses who
would swear that the alarmist who
started the Christmas Eve panic was
a member of the Citizens’ Alliance.
Gompers Sends 3
Agents to Calumet.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, to-day directed
three of his lieutenants to go to Cal
umet, Mich., to investigate the alleged
‘beating up” and shooting of Pres
ident Moyer, of the Western Federa
tion of Miners. The men were Vice
President John Mitchell, of the Fed
eration, now in Mount Vernon, N. Y.;
Grant Hamilton, organizer for the
Federation, now in this city, and
James Roach, another organizer, who
is in Albany.
"Father and Son”
Movement Grows
CLEVELAND, Dec. 30.-The “Fath
er and Son” movement launched here
is taking root in many cities.
Mayor Newton D. Baker, the first of
500 American mayors asked to issue a
proclamation, declared: “If we can
begin the new year with the resolve
iliat our sons shall be more our com
panions and our fathers more our com
rades, it will add both to the sweetness
of our private life and to the value of*
our citizenship.”

Thousand Attackers.

battle which has been on between
Mexican Federals and Constitution
alists for three days, was resumed at
Ojinaga at 4 o'clock this morning, ac
cording to dispatches received here,
■'urious lighting was going on and
heavy looses were being inflicted on
the attacking (’onsgitiUionalist forces.
The 5,000 Federals were placed ad
vantageous!' to resist the onslaught
of the 6,000 rebels.
The Federal force was reported to
lie torn by mutiny and scores of sol
diers were said to have ^eserted dur
ing the night in spite of orders given
out by the Huerta commander to
shoot anyone seen attempting to de
sert.
General Tori bio Oriaga, rebel com
mander in charge. was reinforced
during the night by General Sebas
tian Carranza with 2,000 men, and
General Jose Rodriguez with 2.000
more, giving a total rebel force of
6.000 men.
The Federals are known to he drs%
perately short of food, and the armx
long has been on the point of mutiny.
MACON. Dee. 30.- The most lavish
social affair in the history of Macon
was the dance given at the Dempsey
Hotel last night and this morning by
Mr. and Mrs. Emory Winship, of San
Francisco and Macon. It cost just
$8,000.
Two entire floors of the hotel were
rented lor the^se of the guests, who
numbered between 300 and 400. The
two ballrooms werr al required. One
orchestra played from 7 to 12, when
the banquet was served, and then an
other played until 5 o’clock this morn
ing, when the dancers partook of
breakfast. The ballrooms were ex
quisitely decorated. There were 7.000
American Beauty roses, costing $1,800,
and orchids and rare flowers brought
from the North. Favors costing about
$10 each were given the guests.
Intimations of ‘.he unprecedented
elegance or tne affair had been given,
and last night immense crowds gath
ered about the Dempsey, hoping to
see. first hand, if the reports were
true. Macon society was represented
in full, and there were also a number
of out-of-town guests, amona them
Mr. and Mrs. John P. Little, of At
lanta.
The tango, the turkey trot, the Bos
ton dip, the bunny hug and even the
old-fashioned waltz and two-step
were on the program. A bewildering
variety of champange and other intox
icating beverages flowed freely ill
night, and thi* guests departed with
the coming of dawn somewhat sleepy,
but in a Jolly good humor.

ing New Year’s honors, according to a

Lillian Lorraine Traps Husband as
He Offers to Help Seek
Stolen Gems.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30 —Frederick
Greisheimer, of Chicago, estranged
husband of Lillian Lorraine, was
served with papers in a separation
suit when he called at her request to
offer his assistance when he was in
formed she had been robbed of furs
and diamonds valued at $6,000.
Reading of the reported robbery.
Greisheimer called at her apartments
“Tell Miss Lorraine Freddie Greis
heimer is here,” he said to the clerk at
the desk. And he added: “I'm no
easy mark^you know.”
A moment later a trim maid step
ped out of the elevator and present
ed Greisheimer with two envelopes—
one dainty and small, the other long,
and bearihg a distrustful legal air
about it.
Greisheimev seized the smaller en
velope and glanced at It. Then he
tore it 'nto fine shreds and stamped
his feet upon the marble floor. His
friend rescued the legal envelope
from a similar fate.
“You see,” Miss Lorraine said,
“they were the papers in my sepa '
ration suit which I had had prepared
this afternoon. When I heard that he
had called, I saw my opportunity.
And it worked like a charm, did it
not? I don’t doubt that he was \a
wee bit angry. Wouldn’t you be?”
The complaint charges inhuman
treatment and desertion. Miss Lor
raine says he threatened her with his
fists and told her he would cut off
her nose.
Greisheimer said he already has
started to have papers prepared in a
suit for divorce against his w r ife. He
will name, according to his statement,
two persons.

mittee of Japanese officers from the
cruiser, Izumo, accompanied by Masa-
no Hanihara. ex-secretary of the Jap
anese Legation at Washington, who
are in this city, called to-day at the
Japanese Legation, ostensibly for
“official instructions.”
Subsequently a statement was is
sued by an attache of the Japanese
Legation in which it was said that
the visit of the Japanese officers is
unofficial and lias no significance of
any kind. The nature of the “in
structions'' was not divulged.
While the Government cJaims that
the financial situation is improving, a
report became persistent to-day that
General Huerta will not be able to
raise enough money to pay the Janu
ary 1 interest debt on National Rail
way bonds.
Upton Sinclair
“Rebukes” President.
NEW YORK, Dee. 30.—Upton Sin
clair, Socialist and author of "The
Jungle.” announced to-day he has
sent the following telegram to Pres
ident Wilson:
The outrage upon President
Charles H. Moyer, of the West
ern Federation of Miners, offered
an unexampled opportunity to
prove to American labor whether
the new freedom has any mean
ing for them. As Oommander-in-
Chief of tiie Army It is in your
power to detail army officers to
escort Moyer back to Calumet,
Mich., and guard him day and
night. Such a rebuke to the
mine-owning criminals in Michi
gan is distinctly called for under
the circumstances.
