MUCH SHOOTING,
NO HARM DONE

ZEIGLER, ILL.,, Dec. 3.-Two dis
tinct attacks have been made on the
Gordon blockhouse, situated half way
between the pump and the admins
tration building OF the coal company.
One attack was at Z o'clock and the
second was begun at 10:25 o'clock to-
night. Brisk firing from the outside
is maintained. the soldiers replying
with rapid fire guns.
DUQUOIN. Ill, Dec. 3.-After several
months OF labor trouble at the Letter
mines, in the town of Zeigler, during
which many reports Of active skirmish
Ing have been sent out, the situation at
leigler Is one Of the most peculiar In
the history Of recent labor disagree
ments.
1t is said by disinterested persons liv-
Ing near ZeiEler that firing has been
heard every night for several weeks at
the stockade surrounding the mines
and pumphouse, several miles from
town. After a thorough investigation
however, staff correspondents Of the st.
Louis newspapers declare they have not
been able to find any marks of bullets,
either on the stockade or at the pump
house.
Reports sent out from surrounding
town that miners and strikers have
been wounded have proved, upon in
vestigation, to be unfounded.
From the latest authentic reports,
there are about twenty-five men en-
camped about four miles from Zeigler.
In the town there are about eighty
miners, eighty-five militiamen and for
ty deputy marshals, including both
State and Federal officers.
Although generally termed strikers,
the officials Of the union, authorized
to speak for the men, declare that they
are not on a strike. They say that
Joseph Letter offered a wage scale to
which they could not agree, and so
they left the mines. They deny all
knowledge Of the alleged attacks on
the town of Zeigler.

RIOTERS PUT
ON PROBATION
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214s Center Street, Dec. 3.

214s Center Street, Dec. 3.
Instead Of expulsion from the Uni
versity Of California for participation
in the campus riot which followed Cap
tain Nance's order TO his class month
ago. the fourteen seniors whose cases
were reported on by Nance a week ago
are 10 be placed on probation with the
forty-eight men who were put on pro-
baton by President Wheeler a fortnight
ago.
Il developed to-day that President
Wheeler, who has steadily refused to
discuss the cases Of these fourteen Sc
niors, wrote TO their parents week
ago, informing the folks at home" that
the son at college had participated In
reprehensible riot and that Captain
Nance had found his explanation un-
satisfactory. It was expected that each
man then would receive q letter from
home advising the alleged offender to
walk softly and escape the official ak,
II possible, by keeping close to the
straight and narrow path Of obedience
. TO constituted authority. This solution
Of the difficulty has apparently been
successful for the orders Of Captain
Nance have now become as law and
gospel to the seniors, who march as
they are hidden. quietly and with none
= 6f the demonstrations that were wont
to accompany their movements.
Thus far W. 7. Hale, former editor of
the Daily Californian, who was given
a banquet by his classmates in Oakland
tonight, is the only man to receive
actual punishment for his connection
with the military riot. He was sus-
pended for a year. There are sixty-two
men now on probation, this constitut
ing the only punishment meted out to
the men, who were. expected to suffer
severely for defying Captain Nance's
authority. It is the prevalent belief In
the senior class that Editor Hale was
made a vicarious sacrifice for his fell
bows and that the object lesson thus
provided was deemed sufficient by the
university authorities to create a, spirit
.cf respect for the military commanders
orders.
Gustav White, president Of the col
lege Y. N. c. A, is still on the anxious
seat. however, as his case alone re-
mains 10 be passed on by Nance and
Wheeler. He has fled af1davits TO
show that he had no connection with
the riot, but still he remains in sus
pense. His name was not reported un-
. til several days after the riot. and this
partly accounts for the delay in his
uase.

AMERICA MAY BE USED

Country Strongly Endorsed by
Cardinal Perraud.


PARIS, Dec. 3.-Cardinal Perraud.
the foremost figure in the French
hierarchy and a member OF the
French Academy. has written letter
strongly approving Of the American
system OF the independence Of church
and state, indicating that the Amsri-
can system offers the basis for a re-
organization Of the French system
when the forthcoming separation OF
church and state in France Is ac-
complished.
This is the prevailing view IN the
highest clerical circles. which have
been attracted to the American system
by the Able Kleins' recent book dedi-
Gated to President Roosevelt. In which
the advantages OF the American sys-
tenn are contrasted with the disad-
vantages OF the French system

OAKLAND, Dec. 3.-Burlingame in
all its glory never presented a more
brilliant spectacle than that seen to-
day at the opening of the new Clare
mont Country Club. Everything was
auspicious and the phenomenal csecu
auspicious and the pronounced success
of the clubs initial event promises
much for its future growth and we'll
being.
The clubhouse, a picturesque, vine
clad building. is ideally situated in the
midst of "Rockridge Park" Hedges,
covered with roses whose perfume filled
the air to-day, inclose the well-kept
lawns and flower gardens, the tennis
courts, croquet grounds and bowling
green. Splendid golf links extend over
q goodly portion of the grounds, and
there is also fine shooting range. The
Fifth Regiment band was on the lawn
in front of the club house, and it's stir
ring music added to the gayety Of an
event hitherto unrivaled in Oakland
Representatives of the Burlingame set
and notables from San Francisco min
gled in the kaleidoscope throng that
filed the richly furnished club-rooms
and overflowed into the gardens, where
automobiles, smart turnouts and eques-
trians added their quota to the general
animation.
As for the interior of the clubhouse.
there was nothing but praise for it's
spacious apartments, its artistic fur
nishing and the air of comfort and lux
ury that everywhere prevailed. To-day,
of course, the rooms wore a gala ap-
pearance, a delightfully."- harmonious
arrangement of chrysanthemums and
roses adorning every possible nook and
corner On the wide veranda a deli
cious luncheon was served, and in the
hallway the thirsty guests found a
seemingly inexhaustible punch.
To many the beautiful club house
and it's romantic surroundings, shad-
owed on one side by Berkeley's misty
hills and overlooking on the other a
panoramic view of Oakland and the
bay, was a revelation, for few have re-
allied that at the city's very door was
a spot destined to rival famed country
clubs across the bay.
Several interesting tournaments oc-
cupied the attention of lovers of out
door sport this afternoon. Frank
Kales won the club cup in the golf con-
test. On the bowling green the Oak
land Scotch Bowling Club defeated the
San Francisco Scotch Bowling Club by
two points. In the tennis contest Sam
Hardy and DR.. Hill were defeated by
DR.. Sumner Hardy and Percy Murdock,
their score being GA, 2-6, 7-5, 3-6 and
s-6.

GALLANT KENTUCKIANS
ELECT WOMAN TO OFFICE
Their Votes Make Mrs. Lucy Cole
Assessor of the County
of OWSiey.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 3.-Among
the returns from the recent election
which have come into the department
of the Secretary Of State here there
was one showing that a woman, Mrs.
Lucy Cole, had been elected to the Of
flee of County Assessor of the county
of Owsley. She defeated Frank Nc
Cullom by a majority of fifty-two votes
and is probably the first woman to be
elected to the Office of Assessor. 1t is
extremely doubtful whether Mrs. Cole
can under the constitution perform the
duties of the office to which she has
been elected, but it is just as improb-
able that the question of her eligibility
will ever be raised.
