Washington, May 3.-Jacob Schleser
Coxey, the chief of the Coxey army, is
Under arrest, and the three leaders of the
movement which eliminated at the capt.
toll grounds yesterday will have to
answer TO the courts for the part they
rock in yesterdays disturbance. Carl
Browne, Christopher Columbus Jones
and Coxey will be a%rraigned before Judge
Miller in the police court. The charge
against them will be violation of the
United States statutes. The arrest of
COAey took place to-day in the police
court on information filed against him
last night. The three men have a con-
siderable array of Populist lawyers to
defend them, their counsel including Rep
resentatives Pence of Colorado, Baker of
Kansas, Ken of Nebraska. Boon of
Minnesota and Adjt. Gen Tarsney Of
Colorado, a brother of Representative
TarSney of Missouri. COUNSEL asked
that $500 in cash be accepted in lieu of
real estate bail for Coxey's appearance,
but the judge refused 20 accept it, and
Coxey and Jones were taken to the po-
lice station.
Marillo Kicker, a feminine attorney of
Il is city, came forward to offer bail for
Gen. Coxey, tut Assistant District At
torney Mulloney reminded her of a pro-
vision of the law which forbids attorneys
from signing bail bonds. Subsequently
Frank Hume, a Wholesale grocer, signed
the bond for Coxey and Jones.
Representative Johnson dem, Ohio
created a sensation of brief duration in
the house shortly after it assembled by
il PRODUCING a resolution calling for q
col q e~Ssional investigation of the beating
of citizens by the police during The Coxey
demonstration at the capitol. He urged
it as a question of privilege, declaring
that the Offense occurred en- the capitol
grounds and purported to be in defense
of members of congress. Speaker Crisp
ruled that the resolution did not present Il
question of personal privilege, and ruled
it out of order. Mr.. Johnson asked
unanimous consent to Immediately con-
slider the resolution, but there was a
chorus of objections. and the resolution
was thus summarily killed.
Des Moines, May 4.-Kelly's army may
break up here. The call issued to all
laboring men asking them to meet and
march to the capitol with the demand
that Gov. Jackson secure a train brought
unsatisfactory results. When the hour
Rset for the march to the state house ar
riVn6 only forty mon uara in limo hut IN
the way more were added, and a total of
100 men climbed the long flight of stair
steps and filed into the governors recep-
ton room. Gen. Weaver marched at the
head of the column and acted as master
of ceremonies.
Gov. Jackson said that he had given
the matter the grayest consideration He
referred TO the events since the army
reached Council Bluffs, and read n letter
he had written to President Cable, OF the
Rock Island railroad, requesting that Of
fetal TO furnish Il train to Davenport.
President Gable replied that he would
transport One-half of them if the st. Paul
road would carry the other half. Later
he said the offer of Mr.. Cable was re-
called. He then read requests he had
made to all Iowa run lines, and the re-
fusalS from each road to carry the men
for less than full fare. Ia conclusion
Gov. Jackson said:
Il will lay this matter before the eS-
ecutive council of the state and see what
can be done. There is only one hope,
tand that is of securing sufficient funds
to carry these men TO the Mississippi
river unless Kelly will take a route down
the river by way of Cincinnati"
A committee appointed to confer with
Kelly found the general in a mood to aC-
Cept almost any proposition.
IF l an furnished railroad transporta-
ton to the Mississippi" he said, Il will
accept it gladly. l had expected to go by
way of Chicago, but if | cannot l will
do the next best thing. We can go down
the river to the Ohio, and then follow
that stream up toward Washington. BY
this means l am certain l can reach the
national capital"
Gov. Jackson was informed of Kelly's
decision, and Immediately effolts will
be made to get the men cut of Des
Moines. Many of the industrials had
nothing but bread for breakfast, and only
200 pounds of N at were secured for lin
Ier, but the citizens committee said that
by hard work they hoped TO get sufficient
food to last over tomorrow.
There seems small hope that the army
will secure transportation out of Des
Moines, and as the greater part Of the
men assert that they will walk NO
further, the authorities anticipate the
breaking up OF the army here. Gov.
Jackson spent the day in endeavoring to
| secure a train to the Mississippi with a
view to following his scheme, but has
little hope of success.
