THE KILLING OF THE GUIDES.
A Native Sergeant Test,fes at the Trial of
Major Glenn.
(By the Associated Press.)


Manila, Jan. Sat the continuation
today of the trial by courtmartial of
Major Edwin F. Glenn of the fifth in
fantry, who is charged with unlawfully
and wilfully killing seven prisoners of
war in Samar last January, Louis Cauli-
field, second lieutenant in the Philip
pines scouts, who was in command of the
detachment which killed the natives in
question, testified that while Major
Glenn directed that the guides be exc
cuted if they failed to lead the columns
to the enemy, he Lieutenant Caulifteld
did not repeat Major Glenn's orders to
the detachment. He said he gave no or
ders for the killing of the guides him
self. and that their killing did not result
from the orders issued by Major Glenn.
A native sergeant, who accompanied
detachment under Ramos, testified that
the first four guides had been executed
by order of Ramos, because they failed
to guide the column to the enemy. This
witness said the guides had been given
a chance to lead the column, when they
refused to do so they were made to
kneel and advised to repent of their sins.
The sergeant then said that native
soldier was stationed behind each kneel-
ing man, and that at the word of COM
mand the soldiers first dubbed the
guides with their rifle butts and then
bayonetted them. The witness declared
that Lieutenant Caulifeld was not pres
ent at this execution. .
The prosecution is endeavoring to con-
meet Major Glenn with the killing of the
guides by trying to show that Ramos
was present when Major Glenn gave his
orders to Lieutenant Caulifield The de-
fence denies that Ramos was present on
this occasion.

MIICaEiL DEFENDS The UNION.
Chairman Gray Explains That he Did Not
Wish to Ipdict the Organization.
(By the Associated Press.)

philadelphia Jan. S--The principal
feature of the proceedings before the
Coal Strike Commission today was the
exception taken by President Mitchell
to a remark made by Chairman Gray that
he would like to see the miners union
come W cut of the mire that is around
the baser parts of it into the sunlight.
The miners president said the union
should not be indicted unless connec-
ton could be shown between it and acts
of lawlessness. The head of the COM
mission replied that he did not wish to
indot the organization but hoped it would
disentangla itself entirely from the vio-
lence and lawlessness committed during
the strike.
The Mitchell incident was brought about
by Commissioner Parker. Anthony Fer
euson. outside foreman at the North Ma
honey colliery of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company. testified
that he was beaten while on his way to
work: that he recognized two of his as
sailants as union men, and that they
were prosecuted and convicted. Mr.. Par
kcr asked the witness if the men were
expelled from the union for what they
had done but the foreman did not know.
The lawyers for the non-union men
called on Terence Girly, a member of
the executive board of the union in the
district where the assault was commit
ted. for the information desired. Girley
said he did not know whether the local
inion to which the men belonged took
any action.
Chairman Gray then asked: do you
think YOU can have effective discipline
unless you make Investigations yourself
and bring the men up and punish them
in some way? / ask you as member OF
the order, and as man who would be
glad to see your order come up out of
the mire and clouds that are around the
baser parts of it, into the sunlight and
into the aid of free government and a
free country"
"If it is proven that our men have
committed acts of violence, there is no
question about our dsciplining them," re-
piled the witness.
Mr. Mitchell arose and asked Chair
man Gray about this remark to the wit
ness.
Chairman Gray replied: Perhaps
may have been misunderstood. 1t was
not an unfrendly wish that was ex-
pressed | said l hoped 1t would lift it.

''Thcre is no doubt in my mind, re-
piled Mr.. Mitchell that many of the
witnesses are brought here, and do moi

against the strikers and indirectly against
the union workers. 1t does seem to ms

ported sale of part of that stock

this firm secured between 1900, 900 and
100000 shares in the interest of the

stock. Then the Vanderbilts and the
Baltimore and Ohio were invited to take
these purchases between them This was
to bring the Reading into the community

Pennsylvania railroad and the New York

laws of Pennsylvania which prohibit the

chase by majority of the Philadelphia
and Reading stock by the Baltimore and
Ohio and Lake Shore Railroads was con-
firmed here today. The transaction was
financed by ]. P. Morgan & Company
for the Lake Shore. and is a thing of the
past as no syndicate will be formed to
carry the stock. The shares were bought
in the open market and were divided
equally between the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Lake Shore. The understanding
is that the Reading operated in the in
terest of the purchasers, but that its

other lines.
