he'd a memorial from the Civil Service
Reform League. charging Gov. Flower
with a violation of the Civil Service laws,
The Committee also offered a resolution
that the Chairman of the Committee,
Senator O'Connor, and Senators SaXton
and Mcmahon be constituted a special
committee to investigate the charges and
to report at the opening Of the next ses-
sion of the Senate.
Senator Cantor said this was a very
important matter, embodying, as 1t did.
charges against the Governor of the
state. The resolution had not been dis
clssed before the full judiciary Commit
tee and he moved to recommit 1t.
Senator O'Connor said majority of
the Committee was present when this
report was read and voted upon it, The
Governor did not want an investigation;
he did not care to force one. Charges
were made by the Civil Service Reform
Association affecting high official, and
it's eemed only decent that that official
should have a chance to answer them.

tNIONTOWN. Pa. April l1-War has
begun again in the coke region, and the
situation to-day Is most critical. Riot
ing and raiding have been the pro-
gramme from early morning and fierce
battles have been avcrted only by con-
cessons on the part of the companies.
The first indication of trouble was In
the form of an armed mob of 400 strikers,
which assembled at 40 to-day at the
Youngstown works of the II. C. Frick
Company near here. About sixty coke
drawers were IN the pit when at a given
signal strikers swept down upon the
plant from every direction. The workers
fed for shelter to the Company's store,
which was guarded by only six en-
rloyees.
The 400 Huns in the mob demanded
that the workmen be given up. This
was refused at first. but after several
attacks the workmen were surrendered.
They were treated to all sorts of insults
and some Of them beaten with clubs.
Sheriff Wilhelm was notified at once.
and started for the scene of the trou-
bic. The rioters had left for the Lessen
rings, taking the Youngstown workers
with them. The Sheriff gave chase with
twenty deputies, overlook the mob and
ordered It to dispense. The leader Of
the rioters answered that they were on
tho public highway, and they had equal
rights with the Sheriff
A deputy took charge of one of the
men. when the strikers surrounded the
posse and forced the authorities to give
up the man. The Sherif's force then fell
back and the strikers continued the
march towards eisenring. Twenty more
deputies have left here to join Sheriff
Wilhelm. Trouble Is inevitable. as the
strikers are all armed.
AT the Youngstown Works II Is said
an attempt was made to shut off the
air from the mine, which would have
resulted in suffocation and death for the
workers

Gov. Jackson sud that he had given
the matter the -grnyest consideration. He
referred to the events since the ariny
reached Council Bluffs, and read II letter
he had written to President Cable, Of the
Rock Island railrOad, requesting that Of
tcial to furnish train to Davenport.
President Cable replied that lie would
transport onc-lalf of them if the st. Paul
road would carry the other half. Later
he said the offer Of Mr.. Gable was re-
called. He then read requests he had
made to all Iowa trunk lines, and the re-
fusals from each road to carry the men
for less than full fare. In conclusion
Gov. Jackson said:
II will lay this matter before the ex-
ccutive 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 route down
the river by way of Cincinnati"
A committee appointed to confer with
Kelly found the general in mood to ac-
ccpt almost any proposition.
IF l am furnished railroad transporta-
tion to the Mississippi" he said, II will
accept it gladly. 1 had expected to 70 by
way of chicago, but if cannot / will
do the next best thing. We Gun go down
the river to the Ohio, and then follow
That stream up toward Washington. by
this means l am certain can reach the
national capital"
Gov. Jackson was informed of Kelly's
decision, and Immediately cffolts will
be made to get the men out Of Dcs
Moines. Many of the inilustNals had
nothing but bread for breakfast, and only
2OO pounds Of III at were secured for din
l'cr, hut the citizcns' committee said that
ty hard work they hoped to get sufficient
fCOd TO last over tomorrow.
There seems small hope that the army
will secure transportation out of Dcs
Moincs, and rs 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 cndcavoring to
secure IL train to the Mississippi with IL
view to following his scheme, but hug
little hope of success.

which involves 12,OOO acres Of land in

was never regularly formed, in which
Wisncr was to furnish the capital and
was to receive per cent, after which,
any profits uccruing, were TO be divided

WisEer put i'll over S553,OOO. and the
lands are now worth $3UO,OOO. There
was no written contract, and the

Tense and they objected to the evidence
