Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-10-27

Thursday evening the 22nd,
at 8 O'Clock, the Fitzgerald I. O..
.. F. degree staff, headed by
J. II. Crimble, D. D. G. NJ,
boarded an A. & B. special, ac-
companied by mum Der of others,
for Douglas, arriving there few
minutes before 9, marched with
the Fitzgerald Band at head of
column to the K. of P. hall, which
the brothers had in shape for the
work of initiation.
AT p. m. sharp, Deputy Grim
BILE called the house to order and
after necessary preliminaries,
duly instituted Doug1ns Lodge
1. O. 0. F. No. 2O3. The char
ter members on cards were:
Levi Ostein, J. w. Williford, Jas.
M. Wilcox, W. w. Switzerland,
w. c. Langford, M. D. Dicker-
son, Lem S. Peterson, w. w.
Dent, D. w. Gaskins and r. E.
Lee, from Fitzgerald Lodge No.
IS. Forty candidates being in
readiness, were duly initiated
and had conferred upon them the
three degrees of Oddfollowship,
by the Fitzgerald staff.
Too much cannot be said in
praise of the royal manner in
which the Fitzgerald delegation,
seventy strong, and visitors, rep
resenting Atlanta, Macon, Thorn
asvllle and Waycross, were en-
tertained. There was not a jar
or hitch in any of the proceed
lngs. Every man did his duty,
promptly, in the lodge room, as
we'll as at the table. Some of the
brothers, whose intentions we're
good, regretted that their capa-
city was too limited, to dispose
of all the good things prepared
for them.
The officers elected and ap-
pointed for the new lodge we're:
w. W. Switzerland, N. G; Levi
Ostein, V. G; D. W. Gaskins,
Sec; M. D. Dickerson, Treas;
w. c. Langford, War; r. E. Lee,

to V. G; F. r. Steedman, L. SIS;
Lanse Kelley, r. S. S., who were
duly installed into their respec-
tive Offices by Deputy Crimble.
After congratulations and gen.
eral handshaking, we boarded
our train, arriving home at $50
a. M, everyone regretting that
such occasions do not come
often. Long live Douglas l. O.

action against Hopf for $1,000 for re-
moving stones from the graves of two
of his brothers.
In the complaint it is charged that
H0pf removed the stones. broke them
and piled them up in fence corners:
that he cut all the shrubbery and
plowed up the grave yard, sowed it in
wheat and reaped the crop, completely
obliterating the old Cavendar gave

many pioneers of the county. 1t is
understood that many other suits will
be filed against Hopf. and the court
will be asked TO set aside the transfer

entreaties of the jurors did not move
Cantrell from the stand he had taken,
and after five minutes questioning
without any result he was sent back
to Jail. The members of the jury said
afterward he would be called before
them again. Prosecutor RuckelshauS
said that he was not in a position to
say what the state could do under the
circumstances. He admitted that their
side of all the cases would be greatly
crippled by Cantrell's action. Cantreil's
threat was to refuse to testify before
the grand jury.

GRAY'S IDEA OF DISCIPLINE
Should BE Executed by the Society =
Mitchell Enters the Discussion.

Chairman Gray then asked: do you
wait for conviction by the civil au-
thorities before disciplining your men?
Do you think you can have effective
discipline unless you make investiga-
lions yourself and bring the men up
and punish them in some way? l ask
you, as a member of the order, and
as man who would be glad to see
your order come up out of the mire
and the clouds that are around the
baser parts of it into the sunlight, and
into the air 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 disciplining them"
replied the witness.
Then followed a discussion over the
Shenandoah riot and the killing of a
man. and in reply to Mitchelps re-
mark that it was not the miners who
did it, Chairman Gray said: But
there was a crowd, and as yet 1 have
heard no evidence of a disciplinins
voice in that mob. No man there said:
Shame on the cowards""
The witness said the union would
prove that union men tried to prevent
the riots. To viii h Judge Gray re-
piled he hoped So There was a fur
Their. discussion on this subject and
then Mitchell arose and said to Chair
man Gray: Il do not know whether

yourself TO the witness as to your
solicitude for the organization, that it
should rise above the mire or that
part of it should rise above the mire.''
Chairman Gray: Perhaps l may

GRAY AND MITCHELL IN ARGUMENT
On the Question of the U. NJ. VS. Re-
sponsibility for the Reign
of Terror.

Philadelphia. Jan. "a feature OF
the proceeding before the coal strike
commission yesterday was the excep-
ton taken by President Mitchell to a
remark made by Chairman Gray that
he would like to see the miners I'M
ion come up out of the mire into the
sunlight The miners president said
the union should not be indicted I'M
less a connection could be shown be-
tween It and acts Of lawlessness. The
head OF the commission replied that he
did not wish to indict the organiza-
ton, but hoped it would disentangle
itself entirely from the violence and
lawlessness committed during the
strike
Parker Raises an Issue.
The Mitchell incident was brought
about by Commissioner Parker. An
thony Ferguson. of Mahanoy City, out
side foreman at the North Mahanoy
colliery, of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron company, testified
that he was beaten while on his way
TO the work: that he recognized two
of his assailants as union men, and
that they We're prosecuted and con-
victed. Parker asked the witness if
the men were expelled from the union
for what they had done. but the fore
man did not know. Mitchell has stated
on the witness stand that all members
of the union found guilty of crime are
expelled from the union.
q. Nj. w. Oficial Did Not Know.
Noting tie interest the commission
took in Parker's question the lawyers
for the non-union men called on Ter
renee Ginley. a member of the execu-
tive boa-d of the union in the district
where ne assault was committed. for
the info nation desired. Ginley said
he did .ot know whether the local
union { which the men belonged took
any action. and he went on to give a
long explanatio Of how the local IN
ions and individual strikers used ev-
cry means to dispense crowds and help
maintain the peace. The actions taken
by the local unions, he said, was prip-
cipally advisory.

ANOTHER CONTROVERSY COMES Up
Clear Cut Issue Between the Commission
and the Miners Counsel.

and the Miners Counsel.
Witness Ginley further testified that
witnesses were averse to coming be-
fore the commission because they were
afraid of losing their positions. He
told of one instance where a man was
refused work because he appeared be-
fore the arbitrators, and the commits
sion made note of it and said an in
yestigation would be made. The wit
ness. in reply to Commissioner Wright,
said that many of the coal and iron
police were OF bad character. Some
had served time in Jail and were hired
as guards as soon as liberated from
prison.
The commissioners and the lawyers
for the miners became involved In
discussion as to whether an Organiza-
ton had right to expel a man for
committing a crime. barrow thought
no organization should throw a man
out no more than Christian church.
Daniel Mccarthy. another lawyer for
the miners, said there was no law that
man for committing misdemeanor.
He was stopped by Chairman Gray
who said: I'VE are not the United
Mine Workers OF America, and we
perhaps have no right to criticise them,
but the commission. as long >as they
are brought face to face. with that,
think differently about it,"
and testified that the three men who
were convicted of killing a man at
| Nanticoke were not members of the
union when they committed the crime
They were ex-members. because they
had failed to pay their dues. In re-
ply to question Mitchell said that the
union had spent nearly 100000 in re-
lieving the distress among the 10000
to 10000 strikers who were not men,
bers of the union.
The testimony given yesterday was
along the same line as that presented
Wednesday. Many witnesses told of per-
sonai attacks upon them. the dynamit-
ing of their houses. destruction of
property by strikers, and expulsion of
non-union men from societies. The
lawyers for the miners called the at
tention of the commission to the fact
that President Baer and John Markle
told President Roosevelt that twenty
one murders were committed during
/ the strike. and they wanted the OPP
rators to prove the assertion. Chair
man Gray said the commission also
wanted them TO prove the statement.

VENEZUELA YIELDS TO FORCE
That IL the Way Caracas Telegram Puts
Her Agreement to Arbitrate
with the Allies,

Caracas, Jan. 9.-After two stormy
meetings of the cabinet all the condi-
tons set forth in the replies of the
powers to President Casuo's last pro-
posals in the matter of settling the
Venezuelan dispute through arbitration
have been accepted by the Venezuelan
government. The government considers
these conditions to be unjust, but de-
clares it is obliged to yield to force.
The Venezuelan answer was deliv-
cred at the United States legation here
at noon yesterday. The conditions Of
the powers cover cash payments to the
allies and guarantees for the payment
Of the balance Of their claims. 1t can
be said on good authority that the
question of raising the existing block
ade will not he considered.
