Feeling Tense in Strike District
as Inquest Into Deaths of
Seventy-two Goes On,
CALUMET. MICH., Dec. 30.—A
.use situation had developed here
to-day with more than BOO 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
oroner's inquest into the death of 72
victims of the Christmas Eve panic,
which tended to show that the man
> ho shouted Are in Italia Hall wore a
•'Miens’ Alliance badge. This testi
mony, however, has not been abso-
itely convincing and controverting
witnesses are looked for this after
noon.
The feeling is further intensified by
ihe continued arrivals of strikebreak
ers, principally from New York, and
he Citizens’ Alliance is Just as bitter
.gainst the strike leaders.
Houses of the more prominent mer-
chants are guarded by detectives and
..ffioers of the mines and members of
he Western Federation of Miners
walk the streets with two or three
husky gunmen following closely.
N'or 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
ihe 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
iust before Attorney O. N. Hilton,
representing the Western Federation
• if 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.

tion of Miners. The men were Vice
President John Mitchell, of the Fed
eration, now in Mount Vernon, N. Y.;

Upton Sinclair
“Rebukes" President.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—Upton Sin-
1 lair, Socialist and author of "The
lungle,” 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.

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 1 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 wife. He
will name, according to his statement,
two persons.

vantageously to resist the onslaught
of the 6.000 rebels.
The Federal force was reported to
be torn by mutiny and scores of sol

ing the night in spite of orders given
out by the Huerta commander to
shoot anyone seen attempting to de
sert.

report became persistent to-day that

raise enough money to pay the Janu
