RIOT AT vIHCENNES
UNION COAL MINERS MAKE ATTACK
ON PROSPECT HILL MINES
Non-Unien Man Severely Beaten and
Several So Badly Hurt
That They May
Die.

VINCENNES, Ind, Nov. 19-FouI
hundred union coal miners from Wash
ington, Cannelburg, Petersburg, Prince
ton and Montgomery arrived here at an
early hour this morning, and at o'clock
made an attack upon the non-union
miners employed at the Prospect Hill
mines, near this city. AS a 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 horri-
BILE punishment. 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. In the melee that followed
Scott and his family defended them
selves as best they could, but Were
powerleSs.
Scott was badly beaten about the head
and face, and w. P. Collins, an attorney
of Washington, brother-in-law of
Scott, sustained serious injuries that
may prove fatal. He had a rib broken
and an eye badly injured. Henry Han
merry, miner, was SO badly beaten by
the men that he had TO be removed to
the city Where ne could be gwen med
ical attention, and his injuries are such
that he may die. Mrs. Scott was slapped
in the face, and when she resented the
attack, 1t is alleged, that one Of the
men drew a gun and told her he would
make short work of her If she persisted
in her foolishness. Otis Scott, the ff-
teen-year-old son, was knocked down,
as was also the ten-year-old daughter Of
Scott.
Others that suffered at the hands Of
the visitors were Robert McDaniels,
John Scott and Kenner Mars. All are
bady bruised about the head and face.
It Is said there that no word was spoken
to Scott until the fight began. In the
fight the. stove was Knocked over and a
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 : ev-
cry window was broken, and one of the
doors was battered down. z
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 possible and in some instances
pay more than scale prices. They claim
to mine from fifty to sixty tons a day,
and thereby are able to- give few men
employment. There is great confusion
over the attack and another raid is ex-
pected. The union miners say they will
force the mine to unionize or close up,
but one of the two must be DONE

WALL STREET MEN NOT SHORT ON

THE ST. PAUL NOT PLEASED
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Nov 19.-One of the
most discussed topics in Wall street to-
DAY and at the hotels this evening was
the alleged probability of trouble
which may be ahead of the Northern
Securities company if the utterances
which have been, credited to the gov
ernor of Minnesota are to be fully cred
tied. There are a few firlancierS who
are now prophesying that the Northern
Securities company will never advance
beyond the present stage, and that the
plan will have to be abandoned.
If this proves to be the case it is sug-
gested that the only alternative would
be to organize a share-holding corpora
tion under the Canadian laws, which
are of great nberality. These laws were
framed with the idea of attracting
American capital. Of course, this COM
pany, if formed, could only be share
holding and not an operating company.
A prominent railway man, who is en-
tfrely cognizant of. all the movements
lately, said tonight that he would not
be at all surprised to see the Western
state governments attempt to break up
the Northern Securities company.
1t was pointed out in these dispatches
a few days ago that a member of Mr.
MorSan'S firm had stated that the whole
Northwestern railway situation had been
settled to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, including the St. Paul, but. he
could not divulge the terms accorded
that road. lnasmuch as special emphasis
had been laid in the satisfaction ac-
corded this powerful factor, great In
terest had been felt in learning the terms
of settlement. One who is familiar with
St Paul affairs said that mis- talk of
St Paul having been satisfied was all
wind. He is emphatic in stating that st.
Paul has not received any assurances
of the kind, and if this road is discrfm-
mated against in favor of the Burling-
ton, the St. Paul will be obliged to pro-
tect itself to the extent of building into
burlington territory. While he believes
that no discrimination is contemplated,
yet he states that there are heavy fixed
charges to be met in connection with
the Northern Securities company. and it
will not be an easy matter to avoid in
vasion of st. Paul territory.
linus 1T is pointed out that the far
reaching settlement, as it is called, of
Northwest, may never become a work
the great struggle for supremacy In the
Ing reality, and that within compara-
lively short time there may be as merry
war as ever.
Another unfavorable feature in the
situation is said to be the fact that
Whlle pleasant relations exist between
Messrs. Hartman and Hill, the former
at least thoroughly dislikes the latter,
and that no great offense would be
needed to cause serious, rupture be-
tween them, and this rupture is not re-
garded in Wall street as an improbable
event. put how soon cannot be even
guessed. Meanwhile the action of states
IN m lne Northwest will be awaited with
interest, if any is taken.

HOT FOR CHAMBERLAIN
GERMAN SOLDIERS DEN9UNCE HIS
EDINBURGH SPEECH
Tbe Government VIII Take No No
tice of the Affair Unless 1t
Comes Up In the
Reichstag.

BERLIN, Nov. 19-The anti-Chamber-
lain movement in Germany is spreading.
In spite of remonstrance issued officially
by the Deutcher Kriegerbund, the Society
of Veterans Of Berlin today held large
and enthusiastic meeting of this kind In
which the utterances of Mr.. chamberlain
at Edinburgh were heartily denounced.
Other soldiers anti Chamberlain meet
ings are to be held at Cologne, Muiheim,
Brunswick, Bonn, etc, and students
meetings Of like character will be held
at Bremen, Wurzeburg, LEIPZIG, Halle
and Munich, while popular meetings are
announced in Berlin and Brunswick and
other places
Referring to these matters, the Post,
speaking semi-officially, says the govern
ment sees no reason to identify itself
with the vehement utterances at ire
sponsible meetings, or to take action
against Mr.. Chamberlain's accusations
concerning the German soldiers, since the
latter's words at Edinburgh were moth
ing more than the private statement OF
the British statesman.
But il the matter is broached in the
reichstag, the Post continues, matters
will assume an entirely different course.
In this event the government would
find occasion to express itself befttingly.

THAT HEMP SCANDAL
HAWKES. IS SAID TO HAVE BOAST
ED OF HIS INFLUENCE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The senate
subcommittee on military affairs engaged
in investigating the charges against col.
Heistand, of the army, examined several
witnesses today and then adjourned un-
til Saturday. Justice Lewis /. O'Neal,
of Washington, was called by counsel for
Mr.. Hawkes.. to testify as to who were
the parties defendant to a suit brought
before him against the American Field
Glass company, but the counsel sustained
an objection that the company and the
suit had nothing to do with patent de-
vice which Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john had denied having any interest in
other than assisting the patentee to OBJ
tain patent.
Thomas S. Hopkins testified that Mr..
Hawkes. had tried to convince him that
he QIawkes) could have the hemp ports
opened and closed when he pleased
through the instrumentality of certain
officials. Hawkes. had not shown him
anything authoritative or convincing to
support this claim.
Mr.. Hawkes. went on the stand and
testified that Col. Heistand had never
said a word to him about influencing the
opening or the closing of hemp ports,
and none of the other alleged hemp COM
pany promoters ever had mentioned such
a thing. He denied that he told Harri-
son and Hopkins that through certain
officials he could secure the opening and
closing of ports.

Gompers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, received word from
San Juan today that in accordance with

ed that deposit of $500 in money be
made, Mr.. Gompers hesitates in regard
to authorizing this deposit, not from
fear, he states, of Mr.. Iglesias' failure
to appear at trial, but because of the
refusal of the court to accept good and
sufficient bail, and its insistence upon
money deposit, which he regards as
something unusual. He will consult his

tion.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 19.--The Metro
politan bank, p. V. Caesar, president,

standing, the small depositors believing

something to do with the present Met

applied for q receiver. Dwight Phelps
was appointed, with bond of $4,000.
The fact that the school childrens saw

started by the suit.
The Metropolitan's total deposits are
about $5e0,o0o. The failure is due en-

SLOW WITH CONTRACTS
CANADIAN SHIPPERS ASK FOR CON-
CESSIONS TO AMERICAN BOATS.

OTTAWA. Ont, Nov. 19.-The Cana
dian shippers have reported to the do
minion government that owing to the
exceptionally bad weather on the upper
lakes during the past two weeks every
Canadian boat has lost at least one trip.
This reduces their tonnage for grain
from Fort William to Canadian ports
by at least 100000 bushels and serious
ly hampers them in filing contracts for
wheat which they have sold or con-
tracted for with the railways, and ev-
cry grain shipper will have to default
on his contracts. They have therefore
suggested giving American boats the
privilege of carrying grain from Fort
William to the Canadian ports for the
remainder of the season. The matter
will come before the cabinet at once.
