i Til K ATLANTA UUOKdlAN AND NEWS. 1 J WIFE HE GOES TO AID SERVES DIVORCE WRIT Feeling Tense in Strike District as Inquest Into Deaths of Seventy-two Goes On. CALUMET, MICH., Dec. 30.—A tense situation had developed here to-day 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 i oroner's inquest into the death of 72 victims of the Christmas Eve panic, which tended to show' that the man w ho shouted fire in Italia Hall wore a r’itizens’ Alliance badge. This testi mony, however, has not been abso lutely convincing and controverting witnesses are looked for this after noon. The feeling is further intensified by the continued arrivals of strikebreak ers. principally' frem 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 the Western Federation of Miners w'alk 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 tlie Western Federation of Min ers' agents would be driven out of the Calumet region, and that Charles H. Moyer, president of the union, w r ho 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 w r ho 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- 'ion 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 lames Roach, another organizer, who is in Albany. Upton Sinclair “Rebukes” President. NEW YORK. Dec. 30.—Upton Sin- Hair, 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 Commander-in- Chief of the 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. Title Again Rejected By Premier Borden OTTAWA. ONT.. Dec. 30 -Premier Robert L. Harden again has declined a title in connection with the forthcom ing New Year’s honors, according to a London dispatch to The Georgian.

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 bearing a distrustful legal air about it. Greisheimer 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 lie 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 artel told her he would cut off her nose. Greisheimer said lie already has started lo have papers prepared in a suit for divorce against his wife.
