HE GOES TO AID SERVES DIVORCE WRIT Feeling Tense in Strike District as Inquest Into Deaths of Seventy-two Goes On. 1 LUMET. MICH., Deo. 30.—A ense situation had developed here to-day with more than 500 armed ritizens walking the streets looking •nr an outbreak on the part of the striking copper miners and their -vmpathizers. Intense bitterness has leveloped over the testimony at the coroner's inquest into the death of 72 \i tims of the Christmas Eve panic, which tended to show that the man o ho shouted Are in Italia Hall wore a iiizens’ Alliance badge. This testi mony, however, has not been abso lutely convincing and controverting wit nesses ape looked for this after noon. The feeling is further intensified by ihe continued arrivals of strikebreak ers principally from New York, and ihe Citizens’ Alliance is just as bitter (gainst the strike leaders. Houses of the more prominent mer- hants are guarded by detectives and .(fleers of the mines and members of he Western Federation of Miners walk the streets with two or three iiisky gunmen following closely. Nor has the theft of the moving picture films of the big funeral tend ed to improve matters. The film .perator 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 .»r 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 member of the Citizens’ Alliance.

GTompers 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 "heating 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 James Roach, another organizer, who is in Albany. Upton Sinclair “Rebukes” President. NEW YORK, Dec. 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 Commander-in- <’hief 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.

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 bearing a distrustful legal air about it. Greisheimer seized the smaller en velope and glanced at it. Then he tore it into 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 ! heard that he had called, 1 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 civorco ag^nstt hjs wife-. He will name, aecolding to his statement, two persons. Federals Mow Down Rebels at Ojinaga. EL PASO, TEXAS. Dec. 30.—The 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.

General Torlbio Ortaga, rebel com- maTidor in charge, was reinforced during the night by General Sebas tian Carranza with 2,000 men, and General Jose Rodriguez with 2,000 niorc, giving a total rebel force of 6,000 men. The Federals are known to be des perately short of food, and the army long has been on the point of rn ttiny. The committee of Japanese officers from tlie cruiser Izumo, accompanied by Masano Hanihaiv. ex-Secretary of the Japanese 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 tlie Japanese Legation in which it was said that the visit of the Japanese officers is unofficial and has no significance of any kind. The nature of the “In structions” was not divulged. While the Government claims that the financial situation is improving, a report became persistent to-day that General Huerta will not be able to raise enough money tb pay the Janu ary 1 interest debt on National Rail way bonds.
