KILLED BY MILITIA.
Two Women and an Unknown
Man Meet Death at Dan

y Thousand Indiana Troops Ar
< rive at Hammond-Regu-
lars Leave.

DANv1LLE, Ills, July 10.-Mrs. Mich
ael Glennan and Miss Clara James
were killed aud an unknown man NOR
tally wounded at Westville by volley
tired over the heads of crowd of riot
ing miners by company of militia.
The miners mad been rloting in this
vicinity since Sunday afternoon. Dur
ing the night a number of freight cars
were destroyed in the Eastern Illinois
yards by incendiary fires, and anumber
OF cars were derailed at Goose Creek
on the Shelbyville branch. When the
wreckage had been cleared the inbound
passenger train proceeded without
molestation until Danville was reached.
When it stopped there it was sur
rounded ~ crowd of miners and
held. Word was telegraphed to Dan
Vile and special train with a COM
pany of the state troops started at once
for the scene of trouble. About one
mile from Westville
Crowd of Miners Had Collected,
and upon the approach of the train
bearing the militia began warlike DEM
constructions. Several pistol shots were
fired at the soldiers, who returned the
fire by shooting over the heads of the
mob from the train, intending to scare
them. Miss Clara James, the 17-year-
old daughter of Thomas James, was
standing in the doorway of her home.

resistance being offered, the troops re-
turned to their train, which had been
coupled in front of the passenger, and
the trip to Danville was made without
further accident.

DIFFERED WIDELY
First Days Work Of the Tariff
Conference Shows No Visi-
BILE Results.
THE SESSION LASTS SIX HOURS.
House COnferees Assert the Sem
ate Bill Does Not Meet Pub
lie Demand
THE SESSION LASTS SIX HOURS.

WASHINGTON, July l0.-The first day
of the conference of the Democratic
conferees of the two houses was with
out practical results or visible progress,
so far as can be learned. The confer
ence continued for six hours and was
uninterrupted even for meals, but
when an adjournment was taken after
6, no item in the bill had been finally
passed upon and agreed to- The day
was devoted to a general discussion Of
the main features of the bill and the
principal, points of difference, between
the two houses. The conferees on the
part of the house Of representatives
pointed out the radical change in the
policy involved in the senate's depar-
ture from the
FREQ Raw Material Platform,
and from the ad valorem system, and
asserted that the senate bill was not all
that the country demanded in the way
of tariff reform. The senate represent
tatives replied in the effect that it
might be true and might be admitted
by individual members to have proved
the most radical bill that could be
passed in the senate, and announced a
determination tostand for the bill prac-
tically as it passed the senate. They
asserted that to make any conce ssions
for free raw material might endanger
the passage of the bill, when returned
to the senate, just as to have stood by
the house bill in this respect in the be-
ginning would have probably
Prevented Its Passage
in the first place. They also contended
that material reductions or radical
changes from ad valorem to specific
duties would delay if not endanger
final action upon the bill.
The house members, while admitting
the force of these suggestions, said the
action Of the house might also prove
uncertain.
There had been hope that the CON-
mittee would make it's first report to
the house not later than next Friday on
verbal changes to which all could
agree, but the conference brought out
that the differences were too wide to
hope for this preliminary report.

Not Martial Law,

CHICAGO, July 10.-The strictest dis
cipline is maintained in the several
military camps in the city. No one
was allowed to enter the camp of the
regulars on the lake front under any
pretext. General Miles regrets that
the impression has gone out that the
presidents proclamation is declara-
ton of martial law. He says it is SIM
ply a kindly warning to well-meaning
people and law-abiding citizens to keep
away from places where trouble may
come.

Nothing Unusual In tho Strike Situation
at St. Paul.
ST. PAUL, July 1O.-Another un-
eventful day must be added to the local
history of the strike. Gradually all
lines are recovering from the sudden
ness with which the boycott dropped
upon them. The real interest centers
in Chicago. When the blockade there
is broken and all riotous elements have
been subjugated, the imperfect condi-
tion of freights on all Chicago-St. Paul
lines will be remedied. The situation
here shows an improvement in this
direction over Sunday and matters
give promise of even a much brighter
outlook soon. Every line is making
efforts to resume normal traffic.

QUIET AT CHICAGO.
The Day Passes Without Con-
hict Between Rioters and
1919. Armed Forces. s. -.
DISTINCT SIGNS OF. IMPROVEMENT,
Many Roads in Various Localities
Return to Their Normal
9. Conditions.

CHICAGO, July 10.-The wheels of
commerce still lag at the bidding of
the A. R. u. Nevertheless the war
cloud which has overhung. this city
and this land for the past 10 days
shows distinct signs of lifting. Instead
OF stories of additional railroads tied
up at various points throughout the
country the days dispatches, almost
without exception, bring advices of
strikers returning to work and an in
creased resumption Of traffic, amount
ing in some places to return to nor
NAL conditions.
The day in Chicago has passed with
out serious conflict between the riot
ers and the armed forces now on duty
here. The feature of the day has been
the action, after an all night session, of
the fedorated trades unions of Chicago
in deciding to
Call Out All Glasses of Labor
unless George NJ. Pullman agrees to
settle the differences between his COM
pany and his striking employees by ar
bitration or otherwise inside of "a
hours.
Late in the afternoon the announce
1nent Was made that President Samuel
Gompers of the Ameri can Federation
OF Labor had called meeting of the
executive committee of that organiza-
ton to be held in this city on Thursday
and that he would leave New York for
Chicago at once. In view Of this it is
not believed that the federated trades
of Chicago will take precipitate action
before consulting with him. AS Presi-
dent Gompers cannot reach Chicago
before Wednesday night it will be i'm
possible to decide upon line of action
To be pursued before Thursday, and
probab y. it it should be decided to de-
clare general strike of all these COM
bined forces. it could not be put into
effect before Friday morning.
The Situation In General.
Touching the stu alton in general it
may be said that in Chicago the roads
were all doing better than on any pre-
vious day since the strike began. Pas
senger trains were moving with more
or less regularity and some freight
traffic has been cared for. A large
number of striking freight handlers Of
the Illinois Central returned to work
and other roads noted accessions to
their operative forces. z.e:ss ..-
AT St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver
it Was reported that railroad business
had about returned to normal condi-
tons. Nashville also reported an i'm
provement,
About the only points at which the
strike managers showed any gain were
in the partial walkout of fremen at
Fort Scott, Kan, the freight men on
the Kanawha and Michigan at Charles
ton, w. Va, and the strike of the A.
R. u. men on the Big Four at Mat
toon. It will thus be seen at the lead
ing railroad cehters the strikers have
made perceptible losses, while their
gains are at comparatively unim-
portant points.
