INJUNCTION DEFIED.
A Clash Between State and Federal
Authorities in Kansas.
JUDGE WILLIAMS INDIFFERENCE.
The Federal Judge VIII Not Say Anything
on the Subject Attorney General Boyle
Expects to BE Arrested for Con-
tempt OF Court.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 1O.-The threat
ened clash of authority between the
state and federal authorities took
place yesterday when Attorney-General
L. C. Boyle defed the recent order of
Judge Williams, of the United States
circuit court, and instituted proceed
ings in the state supreme court to en-
join the Mutual Life Insurance Co. OF
New York from transacting business
in the state Of Kansas The right
of the federal court virtually to
set aside a criminal law of
a state and enjoin the states
prosecuting officer from doing his
duty under the state law is denied,
and by fling the suit the attorney-gen-
eral deliberately violated the injunc-
tion for the purpose of settling the
question Of states rights. The case is
in the nature Of quo warranto pro-
ceeding. The attorney.gene brought
it on relation Of the state, and made
John E. Lord the general agent OF the
Mutual Life Insurance Co., OF New
York, for the state Of Kansas, the de-
PENDANT. Lords name was used in or
der to get the foreign corporation into
court
Boyle expects to push this case in
the supreme court, and at the same
time he expects to be cited to appear
in the federal court to show why he
should not be punished for contempt
of court. He claims that the injunc-
ton issued by Judge Williams at Colo
RADIO Springs few days ago is uncon-
stitutional, and it is on this question
that he expects to take the case to the
United States supreme court. The
action Of Attorney-General Boyle was
taken yesterday afternoon, after an
extende dcoDference of the state Of
ticials in the governors Office. G. c.
Clemens. supreme court reporter, says
it is the opening gun in a struggle
that promises to be of as much impor-
lance as the civil war.
JUDGE WILLIAMS INDIFFERENCE.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COL, Aug. TO-
Judge Williams was seen by CORE
spondent at his summer home in the
mountains near Manitou late last
night. When informed of the action
taken by the Encouragement Of Kan

Twelve Year-Old Lad In Kansas City, Kan,
the Victim Of Lightning.
KANSAS Cry, Kan, Aug. 10.-During
the heavy electrical storm yesterday
afternoon Walter Vinson, 12-year-old
boy who lives with his parents in
Chelsea place, was struck by lightning
and instantly killed. The boy was out
in the street near his home flying a
kite when struck, and the fluid ran
down the string. The body was not
found for some time after the storm
had passed, but lay, scorched and
blackened, in the rain. The hands
were terribly burned and the body
was Scared in several places.
At almost the same hour and minute
a bolt descended from the sky and
struck car on the Armourdale cleo
trio line. Motorman A. W. Clark was
slightly shocked, but not seriously
hurt. Winfield Vinson, father of the
boy who was killed, was a passenger
on the car that was struck by light
ming, and was slightly shocked. The
two bolts could not have been more
than minute apart.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 6.-Out of the
1000 strikers who camped at Turtle
creek last Saturday, barely 800 now
remain at Camp Determination. In
addition torthe large number turned
out of camp and cut off from the free
lunch distribution, many were drafted
to Plum creek, where the great strug-
gle for supremacy between the strikers
and the New York a. Cleveland Gas
Coal Co. will be carried on AT Turtle
and Sandy creeks the strikers have
practically won, Turtle creek mine,
known as No. 4, is closed down as tight
as the strikers can ever hope to close 1t
by their present peaceful means OF agi-
tation, 1t is true that few men are
still at work in the pit, but they are
not putting out any coal. The same
holds good at Sandy creek. Reports
from Plum creek are complicating.
Superintendent DeArmit claims that
1855 men are still working, while the
strikers say they counted but 30 going
into the pit yesterday morning.
The deputies at Plum creek are hav-
ing hard time. Many are complain
ing and a number have resigned.
There is no such thing as uninter-
rupted rest for the deputies, They
are up from before daylight until long
after the sun has set They are under
a constant strain. All the mines are
connected by private telegraph and

ines that are working 'injure their

cause.
Thomas B. DeArmit, superintendent
of the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
Co., worked hard yesterday to get the
miners at Oak Hill to return to work.
BY a house to house canvass he sue
ceeded in getting few more diggers
than have been at work. Thirty-seven
miners went in. The men were told
by Mr. DeArmit that they would lose
all that they had earned il they would
not work, and would be given five days
to vacate the company's houses. The
strikers say only Is men out of 2s5 were
at work in the Plum creek mine yester-
day. The company claims almost a
full force were working The strikers
are hopeful that the remaining diggers
will quit work after drawing their
pay. The Plum creek men were not
paid off yesterday, and it is expected
that the company will require the men
to sign new agreement before they
are given their envelopes Hunger is
doing more injury to the cause of the
miners than any other one thing, and
the commissary department is doing
everything possible to provide against
this contingency.
THE SITUATION IN WEST VIRGINIA.
WHEELING, W. Va, Aug. l0.-Mat-
tiers took new turn yesterday in the
Wheeling district and the miners are
feeling encouraged. A small army OF
miners from Moundville and Bonwood
gathered at the works Of the Glendale
company, eight miles below the city,
and soon induced the working miners
at that plant to come out to a man.
Encouraged by their success at this
point, and enforced by the Glendale
men and by body of strikers that had
come across the hills from Elm Grove,
the marchers went to the Boggs Run
mines and camped out on the hillside.
Yesterday afternoon, as the miners
came out from their work, the
strikers took them in and secured
their promise to remain out OF the
mines during the strike If all the men
employed by the Boggs Run mine
would make the same promise. A
demonstration against the Hethering-
ton and Wegee river mines across the

attended, only one-fourth Of the min

The agitators from Illinois worked
hard to get the men 10 declare strike,
but the men decided they could do no
good in ordering strike with such a
small number, and passed resolution
ordering notices to be sent out to all
camps in the state for another meeting

of the mines in the state signify their

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Aug. THE pro-
posed campaign against the mine own
ers of Westmoreland county and the
operators of central Pennsylvania,
which has been delayed, is now an as
sured fact. The strike leaders decided
on 1t definitely at camp conference
yesterday and big move will prob
ably be made next Wednesday. The
whole affair will be considerably on
the order of the famous Coxey com
monweal' tour The plans propose
a direct march through the whole
territory where mines are be-
ing operated until Cleartield
county is reached. Camps will
be left at each Of the DeArmit
mines, at Canonsburg, at Bunola and
any other place that may seem neces-
sary to keep the mines closed which
appears before the crusaders leave.
The leaders estimate that with what
will remain behind in the camps at
least 5000 men will be kept constantly
in the movement, A military code for
the government of the army will be
formulated before the movement is
started. President Dolan says that
with any kind of a system he will be
able to keep everything quiet and the
men peaceable.
Definite orders have been issued from
Harrisburg to local officers for a strong
guard to hold itself in readiness for
immediate service. This order, which
arrived several days ago, is being COM
piled with to the letter, and the day
and night addresses of each officer, to-
gether with the numbers of the near
est telephones, have been forwarded
to headquarters.
To-day will be pay day at Sandy
creek, and report has it that in addi-
ton to the contracts already signed,
the men will be asked to place their
signatures to still stronger and APP

do not see fit to sign this contract will,

privilege of resigning.
