Fifteen Laid Low.

The coke strike resulted in bloody
riot at the Painter works, near Scott
dale, Pa, in which fifteen persons, in
cluding number OF women, were
shot, several of them fatally. The
trouble was started by mob of wom-
en-. wives of the strikers, who had de-
termined to drive out the "blacklegs" at
work for the Mcclure Coke Company.
The women assembled about six o'clock
in the morning, and with tin pans,
clubs, cokeforks, and brooms marched
to the cokeyard. Sanford White,
mine superintendent: Ewing b. Roddy,
book-keeper, and lot of deputies were
on guard. A shot was fired to scare
the women. In less than minute the
men living in thu houses near by
rushed to the scene and White opened
fire on the crowd, that numbered over
one hundred. The affray occurred
between blocks of ovens, and at the
first fire from White and the deputies
three men fell. wounded. One was
shot through the thigh, one through
both legs and the third in the neck.
The women carried OFF the wounded,

the spectators formed a bank of hui

except the banner at the local Coxey
headquarters.
The Commonweal army was astir
early upon Brightwood heights with
preparations for the great procession
to the capital. There was an early
breakfast Of eggs, coffee and bread.
Tents were struck and packed into
wagons and the whole army was in
line before o'clock. All the men car
ried slaves, on which fluttered white
flags with the motto: "Peace on
Earth, Good Will Toward Men, but
Death to Interest on Bonds.
There was much marching and coun-
termarching on the grounds, prancing
of steeds and hauling of the commits
sary wagons into line. The men had
passed cold night, most of them
sleeping on the ground. Before the
start Carl Browne formed the men into
q hollow square and put them through
a most remarkable drill. The slaves
were handled like guns, and when
Browne shouted gloria and peace"
they cheered three times shrilly and
waved their sticks in the air. These
evolutions were performed by the main
body Of the army.

Treasury Clerks Have Narrow Escape
from Being Crushed by Coin.
A portion of the $50, ,OO0, 900 that is
stored away in vault G at the Phila-
delphia mint came very near being q
cause of disaster to several clerks who
were counting the coin, Wednesday
afternoon. The coin was piled up in
bags TO height of twelve feet and a
width of eight feet. The vault is
damp, and the bags had become moldy
and frail. AS Wellington Morris, an
employee, was standing on top of the
pile raking in some loose silver dollars,
he stepped into bag and the silver
dollars at once began to slide out. Like
SNOWFALL on a mountain side the mass
Of silver dollars grew in size.
There was an ominOus rumble, and
the clerks ut the foot of the pile looked
up in surprise. Seeing the impending
danger a wild break was made for the
door. DR.. Caleb Whitehead, who rep
resents the Mint Bureau, jumped over
the scales at the moment when the
dollars poured down with a roar. F.
A. Sartori and w. A. Bosbyshell, who
are assistants in the counting, scram-
bled out In the nick OF time. Serious
injury to Morris was feared, but he
succeeded In escaping unhurt.
The impact OF thc dollars shook the
mint building as l. by Al earthquake
and intense excitement prevailed
among the employees. /: is estimated
that the amount which isIi was valued
at fully 100000 and weighed liz, 900

his journey to the Capitol to take the
oath of office.
The avenue was crowded as on in
auguration. The whole city had turned
out to see these strange visitors, these
men who had come on foot to ask legis-
lation they conceive would remedy con-
ditions. Following the grim-looking
officers was the commonweal band OF
musicians. Then came Bandmaster
Thayer, oklahoma Sam" and Private
Secretary Kirk, who were mounted on
the best of horses. Back of these three
men was young woman. She was the
daughter Of Commander Coxey. Mount
ed upon horse as white as the BIOS
SONS of the chestnut trees in the
neighboring yards, the maiden led
her fathers column for six miles be-
tween two walls of men and women.
Marshal Carl Browne followed Just be-
hind this white-robed angel of peace
Then came Commander Coxey, Mrs
Coxey and little Legal Tender, the
Commonwealer's youngest child. The
six communes of the Commonweal
came behind the commanders vehicle.
Now and then cheer burst from the
tremendous crowd as the procession
passed.
Arriving at the Capitol grounds the
column turned south along the front
and then east again on B street, skirt
ing the Capitol grounds. All along B
street the line of the grounds is
marked and the symmetry maintained
by stone retaining wall some two feet
high. Bordering the wall and fairly
overhanging it is a wide, crosslike
strip of bushes, thick as hedge. Be-
yond this. dense brush fringe are the
open Capitol grounds, with their wide
grass plots and walks. A rank Of
mounted police was drawn up across
New Jersey avenue and along the line
of B street. They were there to keep
the commonweal parade from entering
the ground at that point. But Browne
and Coxey were bound to enter.
Browne got off his horse and went up
to Coxeys carriage and conferred with
that gentleman. The line had come to
halt. 1t had fairly climbed the hill
and the right of the column had
New Jersey avenue, which cuts b
street and runs north and south about
the center of the Capitol grounds.
Coxey left his carriage, and both men
scaled the low stone wall and disap-
peared in the foliage OF the inclosure.
Charge of the Mounted Police.
AS Coxey and Browne ducked into
the brush the crowd outside howled

teen crazy poiicemen, as criminally
crazy and as crafty criminal as any
who ever In the vice of police making
found themselves endowed with club
and 6-shooter and horse and mission
TO ride down innocent women and chill
dren, came charging along crowded
sidewalk for 100 yards TO make these
arrests. On they came, full
tilt, yelling, swearing, cursing,
clubs whirling and flying, peo-
pie knocked right and left, women
screaming with their children, men
cursing. It took only few seconds,
yet by this time Coxey and Browne
had worked through the bushes and
were pushing along in among the
cheering people on the grounds. The
sixteen tremendous idiots with horses
and clubs and silver badges, too late
for Coxey and scenting still further
openings for their valorship TO win
crimson glory and undying fame,
squared their horses at the laurels and
lilacs, and jumped them over the two
foot wall and into the slim thicket
through which Browne and Coxey had

disappeared. There was crashing,
tearing moment as man and horse beat
the astounded bushes, and then like
ambushed tigers, these police creatures
burst on the thick-crowded grounds.
AS these sixteen protectors of public
interest burst through the bushes they
yelled like demons, and their clubs
cracked heads right and left There
was not a law-breaker in this crowd.
1t was scene of peace-a gala scene.
There were children romping on the
grass, women in white dresses; the
most deadly weapon was parasol.
Yet fifty men, women and children
were dubbed and trampled on in that
one indiscriminate moment of police
crime. One big negro was dubbed
until the blood streamed down his
chest. Marshal Browne was being
dragged by the neck and shoulders
from the grounds. His head was un-
covered, his shirt in rags and his face
almost colorless in rage. During
all this excitement slender man

chalk mine was elbowing his way to
the steps of the Capitol. He nervously
fumbled scroll of manuscript in the
side pocket Of his coat and daintily
lifted his hat to the crowd as it cheer
ed him. This slender man climbed ten
of the marble steps, when he stopped,
cleared his throat and placed his hat
beneath his arm. The stranger was
Jacob SechIy Coxey. Captain Garden,
of the Capitol police, stepped to one
side of him and Lieutenant Kelly, of
the city police, was at his other arm.
The other officers formed solidly about
him, and he was almost carried from
the steps Of the Capitol.
At the foot of the steps the great
crowd greeted Coxey and the officers
with a storm of shouts. Again the
mounted officers charged. The crowd
the stampede. AS Commander Coxey
left the white steps he tossed his type
written protest, which he had en-
deavored to read, to the newspaper
men who were following him.
The police escorted Coxey to his car
riage, where he stood looking fiercely
over the crowd for a moment, and then
bowling right and left amid cheers
from his followers he led the way and
was followed to camp by the indus
trials.
A Washington dispatch says the
dash made by the twin reformers this
afternoon has made them great many
friends. No one really believed that
an attempt to speak would be ventured.
Coxey Is as hopeful as usual tonight
He SAYS he expects to make another
trial before long. In his protest, which
he attempted to read from the Capitol
steps, he said:
The Constitution Of the United States guar
antees to all citizens the right to peacefully
ss snces and. snd furthermore. % declares that the
right of free speech shall not be abridged We
stand here to-day to test these guarantees Of
sembiaee because it is the property Of tho
people. and II IL be true that the right of the
people to peacefully assemble upon their own
abridged by the passage Of laws in direct vio-
lation Of the Constitution. we are here to draw
the eyes Of the nation to this shameful fact.
Gen. Coxey said to reporter at the
camp: This Is the beginning Of the
movement: that is all The people are
with us-the common people. Look at
the thousands who cheered our cause.
We will remain right here. Other
bands of unemployed will join us. Con-
gress will see the will OF the people
and will pass or bills.
Coxey Under Arrest.
Wednesday morning Gen. Coxey was
arrested, charged with unlawfully en-
tering the United States Capitol
grounds and there injuring certain
plants and shrubs. The commonweal
leader was held in $500 bail and locked
up in cell along with his lieutenants,
Carl Browne and Christopher Column
bus Jones. Judge Miller, who held
Coxey for trial, refused to accept $500
cash bail for his appearance, and IL
was not until noon that Frank Hume, a
wholesale iquor-dealer, secured the
commonwealer's release by furnishing
real estate security for his appearance
when wanted.

PUTTING DOWN THE RIOTS.
Magazine Broken Open and a Quantity of
Dynamite stolen.


Dynamite Stolen.
A Duluth, Mimi, special says: There
has been consider able rioting on the
Mesaba range. Gov. Nelson called out
the militia, and latest reports are to
the effect that they are quelling the
trouble. Word was received from Vir-
ginia that 700 strikers were marching
up and down the streets denouncing
the owners OF the mines and the men
still at work in the most violent terms.
Much excitement was caused at Vir-
ginia when it was learned that a mag
azine at q mine near the village had
been broken open during the night and
a number of kegs of gunpowder and
some dynamite seized. About 500 men
were out. The militiamen were greet
ed with boots and jeers while they
we're forming in line.
The seat of greatest trouble seems to
be at the Franklin mine, where the
men claim that the wages paid are not
sufficient to live on. They have been
getting 20 cents car. At the Oliver
and Auburn mines and on the Auburn
spur $1.35 to $3.50 day was paid. The
men demand $1.65 for miners and $1.5O

Militia Under Arms.

The disorders which began in Cleve-
land, Ohio, with the May-day domon-
stration of the unemployed eliminated
in open riots. There were three sepa-
rate and bloody conflicts between the
police and the rioters, and troops we're
put under arms ready to respond to
call in case of an emergency. The
trouble began when mob Of 1000
started to raid the factories on the
ployed therein. The first attack was
made at the Variety iron works. The
windows of the factory were smashed
with stones and bricks and the work
men fed in panic. A force OF seven
ty-five policemen was then called out.
The rioters proceeded, however, to
the Upson bolt works, where 1,5O0 men
were induced to quit work before the
officers arrived. When the police came
upon the scene the men made a stand
and hurled bricks and stones at the
officers.
Charged ON the Rioters.
Orders were given to charge them
with clubs. The rioters ran like sheep
at the first assault, but their leaders
succeeded in / a lying them on the Abb
bey street viaduct, bridge about 900
feet long. Squads of police coming up
at both ends of the bridge penned in
the crowd, and they were forced to
fight their way out. They made a rush
for the officers, but at least score Of
them were dubbed numerically be-
fore they finally succeeded in getting
away. During this conflict two an
archists were arrested after terrific
struggle. One of them, Thomas Moore,
an old man, was dubbed into submis-
sion and taken to the station in pa
troll wagon, cursing the police and de-
clared that it was the happiest day in
his life.
CIubbed Them TIL They Ran.
In the south end of the city at the
same time mob of 500 men drove
away the workmen from the United
States salt works, and were about to
make a raid on the Cleveland rolling
mills. They were met by Police Di-
rector Herbert and squad OF ten
policemen, who dubbed them until
they ran. At least thirty men were
injured in this melee, but the mob was
dispersed.
In the afternoon Mayor Blce an
nounced that no more rioting would be
permitted. He issued proclamation
commanding people not t. assemble on
the streets. and at the same time called
upon the Cleveland Grays, the Gatling
gun battery and the resident compa-
nies of the Ohio National Guard to as
semble in their armories and await his
call. There was a ready esponse to
the call, and at night at least 500 men
were under arms awaiting any emer-
gency that might arise.
Asks Tor Troops.
kilograms were received at Duluth
by Sheriff Sharvey from every mining
center of the Mesaba range, stating
that strikers had stopped work at
every mine, and that the situation was
critical. One telegram was from ID.
H. Bacon, of the Minnesota Iron Com
pany, who was at the Auburn mine,
and urged immediate action. The
Sheriff at once telegraphed Governor
Nelson, asking permission to call on
the militia.

Absent and Not voting-Murphy. Millu.
Lindsay, Irby, Butler Gibson-6.
The resolution was presented by
Senator German of Maryland, the
chairman OF the caucus, and was dis
cussed at some length, as the session
lasted from few minutes after four
o'clock until nearly seven o'clock. It
was claimed that the six absent Sena-
tors we're all accounted for, and assur-
ances were given that they would sup
port the tariff bill. The only persons
In whose absence there might be any
significance are Senators Murphy and
Mills. Senator Mills was not at the
Senate during the day, and the call for
the caucus was sent to his house. 1t
is believed that he has some objections
TO the concessions that have been
made, but he has previously announced
that he would support any bill that
provided for reductions in the present
law
