SOLDIERS ON GUARD.
(ConcInded frnm First PAGE,

yesterday afternoon misunderstood each
other. Sheriff Martin knew the character
of the men he had to deal with. Before he
was elected sheriff he was a mine foreman
at Mill Greek, this county Quite a number
of SlavS and Poles worked under him, and
he was a frequent eyewitness to their
fights and brawls The first thing he heard
yesterday morning before the march on
Lattimer began was that the strikers were
drinking heavily He said then to his depu-
ties, Boys, this means trouble. l know
these people" At first only score Of depu-
ties were armed, but when the report
reached the sheriff's headquarters that
eight barrels of beer had been consumed
seventy-two men were placed under arms
The owners of the coal properties were also
continually at the sheriff's heels. They re-
minded him that their big breakers were in
danger. and that one striker with match
could cause untold damage to property
What the operators impressed on the sheriff
was that it was clearly against the law for
any armed body of. men to mobilize and
march. The sheriff took that view of the
matter too, and although he had no posi-
tive Information that the marchers were
armed he had reason to believe they were
Acting on his own judgment he decided to
halt the marching column and If possible
dispense the strikers.
There is some talk tonight of causing the
arrest of Sheriff Martin and his deputies.
The trades unions are said to favor the
scheme not, as they put it, that they have
any particular love for the victims or their
relatives but in order that the rights of or
ganized labor may be upheld.

DENOUNCED BY GOMPERs.
Operators, Sheriff and Deputies Wig
nrnuaIY COnd emned.

WASHINGTON, Sept n.-President
Gompers, of the American Federation of
Labor, to-day after bitterly denouncing
the killing of the men near Hazleton as a
brutal murder, said:
1.-THE men were marching in the public
highway; they had as much right to march
TO Lattimer or any other place on the pub
lie highway as the sheriff or Governor of
Pennsylvania or the President of the
United States. The mine operators, in the
madness of their supposed power and in
their effort to enslave labor have used
judges and courts to give the color Of law
to the most fragrant violation of the consti-
tutional rights of the people; sheriffs and
deputies taking their cue from their SUI
periors, have carried out this policy and
killed men exercising their rights under
the Constitution and the law.
''In his published explanation, Sheriff
Martin makes an effort to secure the favor
of our native Americans by repeatedly en-
killed were foreigners. 1t may be true that
these men were not native Americans. but
they were the men brought here by the
greed and cunning of the mine operators.
and so long as they submitted 10 being
starved no word as to their foreign birth
was heard but now this cry of foreigner is,
like a. cloud of dust, raised TO obscure the
crime.
''The miners will win their humane and
heroic struggle; they deserve TO win; their
conduct has challenged the admiration OF
their friends and sympathizerS.

SHORT LINE TO THE GULF
KANSAS CITY CONNECTED BY RAIL
WITH PORT ARTHUR.
Last Spike Driven in the Last-Laid
Rail of the n. c., p. & G. r.. R.-The
Line Built for $2O,OOO,OOO.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 1.-THE last
rail was laid and the last spike driven this
afternoon on the line of the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf Railway, uniting Kansas
City and Port Arthur, on the Gulf of Mex
leo. The completion of the road which
gives Kansas City the shortest line to the
Gulf of Mexico and makes it practically a
seaport, was not celebrated in any formal
way in Kansas City. The event was cele-
brated with a musical programme by the
Third Regiment band and with firing by
the Fort Riley cavalrymen and artillery
men at Paramount Park this afternoon
works. This is all that is to testify to the
realization of A. E. Stlwells cherished
dream of uniting Kansas City with deep
water on the Gulf of Mexico by a railroad
only S7S miles long. The enterprise has cost
$40, 600 600. More elaborate ceremonies in
honor of the completion of the Pittsburg
& Gulf were held in Mena, Shreveport, Tex
arkana and Beaumont to-day. The boards
of trade of Port Arthur and Beaumont wit
messed the driving of the last spike, and
there was music, cheering and speeches.
The Pittsburg & Gulf will begin to run
freight and passenger trains over its own
tracks between Kansas City and Port
Arthur on Sept. Is. This month the Pitts
burg & Gulf will also establish Port Arthur
as an export city Grain and other COM
modities for export will be loaded on light
ers at Port Arthur and transferred to ocean
steamers at Sabine pass. This arrangement
will continue until the Pittsburg & Gulf
finishes its canal from Port Arthur to deep
is now sending its freight for export
through Galveston and New Orleans.

May Demoralize Rates.

CHICAGO, Sept. n.-Chairman Caldwell
of the Western Passenger Association has
addressed letter to the roads of the asso-
citation asking that they ignore for basing
purposes the reduced rate made from Kan
sas City to ST Louis by the St. Louis
roads for the exposition in that city. The
chairman is apprehensive that the rate, if
used as a basing rate via Chicago, will
cause Generalization, and he is anxious
that the roads ignore it, The rate made by
the st. Louis roads was 81, and it would
have made no trouble among the Western
roads if it had not been rendered by the
ST. Louis roads as basing rate to points
in the East, thus creating an inequality
against the Chicago rate. The only man.
ner in which the roads between Chicago
and the Missouri river can protect them
selves against the rate is to use q CORE
spondingly low rate in the construction of
low rates via this gateway, and this would
in the opinion of the chairman, offer large
facilities to the scalpers. He has according
ly asked the roads not to use the rate for
basng purposes TO points where the
through rate is less than $3.50. There is q
large emergency of opinion in the matter
among the Western roads and 1t is not
sure by any means that all OF them will
follow his advice.

In the county recorders office a deed was
filed a few days ago transferring certain
real estate in Merton Place to John c.
Lamson for 81 and exchange of property"
The deed purports to be signed by William
T. Noble and wife. Mr.. Noble yesterday
examined the document and declared it a
fraud. The signature of A. V. Brown, as

he had sold the real estate to a stranger,
who was to put up a bonus of $780, The
money was never put up and the stranger
disappeared. Mr.. Noble recalls that a few
weeks ago man called at his homo and
asked his wife for her full name, stating
