THE STRIKE GROWS oMINoUs.
All Union Miners Ont lat Thacker- M atewan
and Guards Demoralized.
(By the Associated Press }

Williamson, w. Va, June 22.-The
miners strike in the Thacker- Matewan
coal fields is growing critical, and resort
to firearms has been the result. The
whole field is in a state of excitement
and serious trouble is feared. Already
two or three conflicts have occurred be-
tween the striking. miners and the guards
which have been placed on the works
by the operators.
The trouble has grown out of the nom
recognition of the union by the operators.
The operators declare they will not recog-
nize the union and the miners are equally
as persistent in demanding that they shall
be recognized. The trouble did not as
sumo critical stage until within the last
few days, when it is alleged two of the
miners were followed by the guards of
the operators who were ARMED with
rifles. Then it was that the situation be-
came critical and the men began to arm
themselves.
What at first seemed only to be a small
strike is now threatening to assume
great proportions. Up to last evening
400 or 500 miners had gone out on strike,
and it IS now said that the whole field
is on strike with the guards to some ex-
tent demoralized. Sheriff Hatfield with
deputies has gone to the scene of action
to quiet the trouble as far as possible.
Judge Jackson yesterday issued an in
junction restraining the miners.
What effect the action of the United
States court will have on the strike is
not known. The miners have all the
money necessary and have opened COM
missary stores and are taking care of
men who will not work.
Late last evening some of the miners
were fired ON by the guards. The fire
was returned by the miners, dispensing
the guards and slightly wounding Super
intendent Lambert in the leg. The miners
claim they want no trouble and that they
already have the situation in hand.
The lines have been drawn closely and
any moment may bring forward a new de-
yelopment with serious result. The en-
tire community is in a state of anxiety
and business has virtually ceased.

B|CAMY THE CHARGE
The | arl of Russell Com
mittcd For Trial.
It is Coniended That Lord Russeli's Second
Marriage Was Not vaIii Even Under
The Laws Of Nevada
(By the Associated Press.)


London, June 22.-Earl Russell reap
peared in the Bow Street Police Court
today on the charge of bigamy and
was committed for trial. The court
was crowded. Among those present
was the woman (Mrs. Somerville) whom
the Earl claims is his wife, and to whom
he was married in Reno. New. in 1900,
after he had obtained divorce from
his first wife The register of his first
marriage was produced, Mr.. Brown,
assistant director of public prosecu-
tons, then testified that the present
proceedings were taken by the public
prosecutor. Independently of any other
person. thus confirming the first Coun-
tess statement that she is not party
TO the suit.
Mr.. Brown gave details of his inves-
tigation at Reno. and B. F. Curler,
county clerk of Washoe county, Neva-
da, testified to marrying Earl Russell
and Mrs. Somerville at the Riverside
Hotel.
After detailing the Nevada law on di-
vorce Mr.. Curler said that in Earl Rus
sells divorce the law was not complied
with in two respects, and thereforef, the
decree annulling the Earl's marriage
was not valid, even in Nevada.
After counsel had protested that Earl
Russell had not been given adequate
time to prepare for his defence the
earl was committed for trial at the next
session of the Central Criminal Court,
the same bail $4,000 pounds sterling) be-
ing allowed.
1t appears that the earl must be tried
as a peer, as in the House of Lords.
The usual course is that after the
commital, application is made to re.
move the case to the House of Lords
by writ of certiorari. Such trials
have been very rare. The last was the
case of Lord Cardigan. There have been
four trials of peers in the House of
Lords since the end of the reign of
George III.

an Increase in the Army at the Prcsi-

emergency In those islands or any other
incident that may arise.
1t seems. however. that the trouble In
the Philippines IL not of as temporary a
character as has been predicted. In view
OF this II might bc well to model an ar
