HIS WIFE WAS SLAPPED
Two Persons Perhaps Fatally
 Hurt During Melee,
The Raiders Declare They will Force the Mine to Unionize or Close Down-More Trouble Ex-
 pected.

vincennes, Ind, Nov. 1s.-Four hum dred union coal miners from Washing ton .Cannelsburg, Petersburg. Princeton and Montgomery arrived here at an early hour this morning. and at o'clock made an attack upon the non-union miners en- ployed at the Prospect Hill mines near this city. As result, two men are fatally hurt and a half dozen more are seriously injured. The union miners formed at the Union station and marched to the mines. Just as the men of the day shift were going on duty, they were attacked and received horrible treatment.
 The union, men asked for the foreman. William Scott. and when told that he was in bed said: "All right; we will get him." and started after him, and for a short time pandemonium reigned. In the melee that followed Mir. Scott and family defended themselves as best they could but were powerless.
 Scott was badly beaten about the head and face and w. P. Collins an attorney of Washington a brother-in-law of Scott, who was visiting there sustained in juries that may prove fatal. He had rib broken and an eye badly injured. Henry Hannery a miner, was so badly beaten by the men that he had to be removed to the city, where he. could be given medical attention. His injuries are such that he may die. Mrs. Scott was slapped in the face and when she re- scented the attack, it is alleged that one of the men drew gun and told her he would make short work of her if she persisted in her foolishness." Otis Scott. the 15-year-old son, was kocked down, as was also Dottie, the 10-year-old daughter of Scott.
 Others that suffered at the hands of the visitors were Robert McDaniel. Posey Knight, John Scott sand Kenner Mars. All are badly bruised about the head and face. It Is said that no word was spoken to Scott until the fight begun. In the fight the stove was knocked over and 8 big hole was burned in the floor. Some of the miners, however, picked up the stove and extinguished the fire. The house was badly damaged. Almost every window was broken and one of the doors was battered down.
 Only forty men are employed and the mine is run on the cooperative plan and independently. The operators claim that they cannot pay the union scale and run, but say they pay the highest price pos sible and in some instances pay more than scale prices. They claim to mine from fifty to sixty tons day, and there- by are able to give a few men employ nlent. There Is great confusion over the attack and another raid is expected. The union miners say they will force the mine to unionize or close up, but one of the two must be done. Further trouble is anticipated.

FOX HUNTING BEGINS.
Prospects are for Unusually Interest
 ing Sport.

Estir Springs, Ky, Nov l9.-The eighth annual meeting of the National Fox Hunters Association opened here to- day under unusually favorable condi- tions The attendance is better than in years, and the weather is perfect for hunting.
 The derby for puppy hounds IS months old OF rsnder was the event today, and since it could not be determined which of the entries were entitled to the prizes another trial will be given the same class tomorrow.
 At sun-up the puppies were released by Master of FoXhounds, R. b. Will Hams one mile from town at the same point as last year when such a fine race was witnessed For an hour they hunt ed faithfully, but striking no trail, they were called in and again cast near the Hamilton farm, three miles down the Kentucky River.

CHAMBERLAIN UNPOPULAR.
Meetings of Protest Are Held in
 Germany.

Berlin, Nov. 1s.-The anti Chamberlain movement in Germany is spreading. In spite of the remonstrance issued officially by the Deutscher kriegerbund, the So- ciety of Veterans of Berlin today held a large and enthusiastic meeting of this kind in which the utterances of Mir. Chamberlain at Edinburgh were heartily denounced Other soldiers anti-Cham- berlain meetings are to be held at Co., logne, Mulheim, Brunswick, Bonn, Ceile and other towns, and students meetings of a like character will be held at Bonn, Wurzburg, Leipzic, Halle and Munich, whil0 popular meetings are announced in Bochum and Brunswick and other places.
 Referring to these matters The Post, speaking semi-officially, says the Gov ernment sees no reason to identify itself with the vehement utterances of ire sponsible meetings or to take action against Mir. Chamberlain's accusations concerning the German soldiers. since the latter's words at Edinburgh were nothing more than the private statement of the British statesman. But if the matter Is broached in the Reichstag. The Post continues, matters will assume an entirely different course. In this event, the Government would find ooca- sion to express itself befittingly.

BEAUMONT OIL FIELDS.
Expert Adams Reports to the Geo.
 logical Survey.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The Geological Survey has just issued the report of George I. Adams one, of its experts, on the oil and gas fields of parts of Texas and the Western Gulf coast. The report points out the limited areal extent of the reservoir which has been tapped ui2der Spindle Top Heights and calls attention to the difficulties which will have to De met in the development of other locaii- ties which may be widely separated rom 1t, but occupying position in relatively the same horizon. The report says 1t is we'll known that the Beaumont oil con- tains sulphur and its presence has de- termined in a measure the uses to which the oil may be put.
 The limited occurrences of gas and in- dications of oil in outlying localities are noted as an aid to those who seek to develop new fields. A short review of the various explanations of the occur renee of the oil at Beaumont which have been printed in newspapers from time to time is given along with the references to the conditions found In other fields. with the purpose of pointing out some of the problems which have had to be met by those prospecting in the localities The report embodies statistics on the oil and gas products and calls attention to the probable future of some of the older localities as it seems to be indicated by their history.

ACCIDENTS IN MAINE. Many Persons Have Been Killed by
 Narale4a Hunters

Augusta, Me, Nov. I9.-Although the last legislature passed a law imposing a maximum penalty of four years i'm prisonment or fine not exceeding M.0oo for negligence or carelcssness which should result in the shooting of human being by hunters, the record of such fatalities in this State during the present season Is very heavy.
 A peculiar feature of the situation Is that in several of the accidents the shots have been fired by unknown persons. The record up to the present shows that twelve persons have been shot by acci- dent and that five Of the victims have either been killed outright or wounded so badly that death resulted. In four fn- stances the shots were fired by unknown persons. The persons who have lost their lives are: Henry McPheters. Mil ford, Me-; W. c. Tucker. Dayton. O.; Leslie Bowker. Marchfield. Me-; Frank Leonard, Frankfort, Me-; John G. Weeks, Boston, Mass.
 Thus far no steps have been taken. as far as can be learned, toward prose- cution in any case. although the game wardens frequently have called public ta- tention to the law.

Run Was Started Through a Mis-
 understanding.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 19-The Metro politan Bank. H. V. Caesar, President, closed Its doors today after standing Q run all day yesterday.

About $4O,0Ol was withdrawn yesterday. and today the bank applied for receiver. Dwight Phelps was appointed. The fact that the school children's savings accounts. amounting to $12,000, was in the bank, helped to spread the rumor started by the suit.
 The Metropolitan's total deposits are about $5c0,OOO. The failure Is due entire ly to the above mentioned misunder- standing. President Caesar says he is negotiating with New Workers and be- lieves he will be able to perfect arrange ments to pay every depositor in full.
