KELLEY’S IRMT

STATE CAPITAL
Sacramento Wrestles With
Problem and Calls Out the
Militia
300 RECRUITS HAVE
“JOINED THE ARMY”
About 1,600 Men in Army and
They Are Divided Into Rival
Camps.
Sacramento, Cal. «*- Sacramento
wrestled all day with the unemployed
problem, precipitated by the arrival
here of "General’ 'Kelley's army, on
lln way to Washington TonlKht no
solution had been reached, hut a
company of the state militia had been
ordered out to guard the state arse
nal and to he in readiness to quell
a riot. Chancea at Orevllle, Stockton,
Cl,ico ami Woodland were notified in
hold themselves In readlneas for
similar service.
More than ;u)0 recruits Joined the
army, which is now divided Into two
rival factlona of almost equal strength
one obeying the orders irf “General"
Kelley and the other composed of
seceders. About 1,500 men are lu tile
two camps.
Leaders of the men called at the
executive office today and demand
ed of Governor Johnson that they he
auppllod with food and transporta
tion to the state line The governor
offered them work Instead and they
refused, declaring they would accept
no employment until they hail com
pleted the march to Washington.
No decision could he reached by
city and county officials as to what
disposition should be made of the
army. One of the questions debated
was whether or not to ship It hark
to Han Francisco, where It started.
There were no disturbance* at the
rival campa, although emissaries of
the seceders added to the bitter feel
ing by Inducing a number of "den
eral" Kelley'a followers to desert.
Three committeemen from the an
ti Kelley faction drew a sharp re
buke from uovemor Johnson when
they refused work he had offered
them.
"For the men who want work I have
the greatest sympathy,” he said,
"and I am willing to do everything 1
can to help them For the men who
won't work, which I understand is
the principle with Vic Industrial
Workers of the World, I have no sym
pathy.
"You do not present an unemploy
ed problem. Wnat you are present
ing Is u particular propaganda and
asking the state to assist you In
spreading this proaganda Those are
not the actions of unemployed men."

ANOTHER BRITISH

Englishman Named Syndam

!.—Property in Danger
SIR CECIL SPRING-RICE
CALLS ON SECY BRYAN
Carothers to Intercede With
Constitutionalist Leaders in
Behalf of Terraza.
Washington.—Another British sub
ject has got Into trouble In the stuta
of Chihuahua and the state depart
ment again h.is been called on to ex
tend Its protection. Hlr Cecil Hprlng-
Klce called at the state department
Saturday to Inform Secretary Bryan
; that an Englishman named Hyndan
I hud been driven away from his ranch
and that Ida properly was iu danger.
Secretary Hryan Immediately tele
graphed American Consul Letcher at
CMlhuahuu to make an Inquiry. ft
! necessary a protest will be made to
Carranza or Villa.
Technically the commission charged
I with Investigating the killing of Wtt
| Ham H. Renton continues in existence
and Secretary Rryan Saturday said
i itsf unctions simply had been bus
{ pended. There now is little idea that
the commission will proceed to Chi
huahua In the expectation of uncover
ing evidence of value. It probably
will lie required to carry out its origi
nal Instructions, however, merely to
establish the principle of the right of
the I'tilted Slates to art. Nothing fur
ther has been heard at the state de
partment from General Carranza re
garding his Investigation.
Consular Agent Curothers at Chi
huahua was directed by Secretary
Hryan Saturday to Intercede with con
stitutionalist leaders la behalf of Luis
I Terrazas, who press reports said had
been condemned to death unlesa a
| quarter of a million in ransome was
; paid by his family. The American
! agent was directed to use every effort
ito prevent the carrying out of this
‘ threat, pointing out that American tol
j erance might he alienated from the
constitutionalist cause by such an act.

visitors and attendants rushed into the
room and found Mr. Blakeslee uncon

attack of headache was the cause of
the act. Though the dealer for some
time had appeared depressed over bus
iness affairs, It was ssld Saturday
night that he whs solvent.
Several years ago Mr. Blakeslee
bought what appeared to he an unim
portant canvass for SBSO. Tlpon reno
