seven hundred people present in wild and

THE SHERIFF MAKES AN IxPLAFA 10
The Outbreaks Too Numerous for Him 10 Cnpf
With Unaid,d d. Mitchell Says The
Strikers Are as Determined
As Ever.
(By the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 24.-Of the ten
anthracite coal producing counties Of
Pennsylvania, State troops are tonight
camped in FIVE Despite the presence of
the troops in these districts, rioting and
general lawlessness continues in the en-
tire hard coal territory from Forest City,
Susquehanna county, on the north, to
Williamstown, Dauphin county, on the
south, distance of more than 100 miles
The section of the strike region in the
vicinity of Forest City, which has been
comparatively quiet ever since the strike
began was greatly wrought up today by
crowds of strikers interfering with and
beating men who had returned to work,
and as result Sheriff Maxey, of Sus-
quehanna county, tonight asked Governor
Stone for troops to assist him and other
civil authorities to preserve the peace.
While there has been no big general
riot the disturbances have been of such
a serious nature as to cause the authori-
ties much apprehension. Every effort
is being made by the sheriffs OF the sew
eral counties affected, and the troops to
prevent disturbances from growing to
such an extent as to cause bloodshed.
Reports are coming in from every section
of nom union men and others being either
shot or dubbed. Houses of workmen
have been burned or demolished. attempts
have been made to hold up coal trains or
derail them.
Coal is being shipped from many parts
of the coal fields to market, but compared
with the normal output, the quantity is
insignificant. The output for this week
will be considerably less than the average
about 900 900 tons.
A Central Railroad of New Jersey coal
train which was moving Nout of mine
siding ct Warrior Run last night was de-
rallied by an open switch, which had been
sampered with by unknown parties. The
crew esc.ned by jumping and the cars
were piled up in big wreck. The coal
which the train was carrying was intend
ed for the New York market.
big crowd of strikers attempted to
prevent the non-union men employed at
the Exeter colliery of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company, at Sturmerville from go
ing to work this morning. number of
deputy sheriffs in charge of Thomas
Burke, tried to Aprotect the workmen. A
fight followed in which several shots were
fired. David Richards, a fire boss. was
shot in the leg and David Harris and
John p. Stroh were beaten on the head
with clubs. Burke was also knocked down
with a stone and rendered unconscious.
Coal and iron police finally dispersed the
mob.
Magistrate Ehret of West Pittston, is
sued warrants this afternoon for twenty
five Of the ringleaders engaged in the
riot. A crowd of 500 men and boys re-
fused to allow non-union worlSmen to
cross the Suspuehanna river bridge at
Nanticokc this morning. A deputy sheriff
read the riot act and the mob dispersed.

$50. There are quite a number of mine
workers in the regiment, but all respond
ed readily to the call. Colonel Dough
crty says he does not apprehend any Sc
rious trouble.
president Mitchell refused to make any
comment on Sheriff Jacobs action in ask
ing the Governor for troops for the
wyoming region. He said the presence
of the militia would not interfere with
any of his plans which were to push the
strike to successful issue. Some OF
the lieutenants think that the sheriff
acted rather hastily and that the bring
ing of the troops here was for the pur-
pose of enabling the mine owners to OPP
crate their collieries, but they would be
disappointed, as the strikers are as de-
termined as ever
Sheriff Jacobs in statement issued to
the public explains at length why he
called on the Governor for troops He
says the outbreaks were becoming too
numerous and with the limited men at his
command he could not cope with the I'M
lawful assemblies that gathered in va
rious places throughout the country.

CBy the Associated Press. }

London, Sept. PA dispatch from The
Hague today confirms the report that
the donor of the 100000 sent to General
Botha for the relief of Beers, was Hen
ry Phipps, of New York City.
III notifying General Botha of the gift,
Mr.. Pbipps wrote from Beaufort Castle
Scotland, September Goth, that he and his
family had followed the course of the
war with anxious hearts and were eager
for the sake of both sides that a just
ending might be made. "Now that the
war is over" continued Mr.. Phipps, it
is a privilege, and / believe a duty to
do something to relieve the sufferings
caused by the war. 1 feel that the best
service / could render would be to pro-
vide 100000 for the relief of the Boer
widows and young orphans fund, to be
disbursed by you and two others. My
desire is that the temporary misery OF
the women and children should he re-
lieved and at the 3aroe time / trust moth
ing will be done which could be justly de-
scribed as unfriendly to Great r'&ain.
