Authorities Control Situation.

Authorities Control Situation.
When daylight arrived the state
constabulary was ordered to Windber
by Governor Pennypacker. The town
is now practically under martial law.
The state police and deputies are
controlling things with an iron hand
and no other trouble is expected.
In a riot at Windber mines near
here last night tire foreigners were,
shot dead by the deputies, boy ia
tally wounded, and Eugene Delaney. a
mining engineer, was taken to hos
pital seriously hurt
The riot was the result Of an at
tempt on the part of the striking min
ers to rescue some of their comrades,
who had been placed under arrest. A
state of terror prevailed throughout
the night. Sheriff Begtey was at once
summoned and an appeal was made to
Governor Pennypacker for troops.
Bodies Left In Street.
The bodies were left lying in the
street all night, where they fell the
strikers refusing to allow the under
takers to- remove them. The foreign
element had been celebrating Easter
Monday and much liquor was used.
The streets we're, thronged oil day
with boisterous crowd but no sign
of trouble appeared until night A
libody of strikers were assembled in
front of The Windber Jail discussing a
mass meeting that had been held dur
ing the afternoon.
The discussion grew into an argu-
ment, and soon there was free-for-all
fight. The deputies from the coal mines
made their appearance, and a number
of arrests were made. All those arrest
ed were union men, and their col
leagues set up the cry they were being
Disseminated against and were i'm

Officers Fire on Mob.
The arrested men. were marched to
the lookup, but the mob attempted to
take them from the officers. They
were forced back from the jail, the
mob growing more violent every min
ute and threatened the deputies until
the officers fired. The mob hesitated,
4 apparently not expecting the deputies
would resort to firearms. When the
smoke cleared and the victims of the
shots were viewed by the crowd there
were cries of anger, and soon the min

shots of the deputies. The firing ceas-
ed almost as soon at it began, howev-
er, and the crowd left the vicinity of
the Jail.
Deputy Incites Drunken Mob.
An eyewitness of the riot describing
the affair last night said the trouble
started when Deputy Sheriff McMul-
len went to the mass meeting held by
the striking miners in wood at the
edge of the town. Many Of the min
ers had been drinking and the sight
of the deputy made them furious.
They attacked him and he fled to the
residence of Councilman Davis, which
the mob attacked and literally wreck
ed. McMullen escaped and fled to the
house of other neighbors for shelter.
A force of guards arrived and arrest
ed twenty rioters and lodged them in
Jail. The mob attacked the guard at
the Jail, who, failing to dispense them
. with bayonets, fired. The mob fed in
wild disorder, leaving three of their
number dead in front of the jail.

I Washington, d. c., April 17.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today transmitted to
congress an important message relat-
| ing to insurance legislation. Accom-
panying the message were the report
and recommended tons Of the insurance
conventions which was held in Chica-
go last February.
Among the recommendations was a
draft of bill, which congress is urged
to enact into law with such amend
ments as it's wisdom may suggest.
The President urges the enactment
of the proposed measure, as he says:
We are not to be pardoned If we
fail to take every step in our power
to prevent the possibility Of a repeti-
ton of such scandals as those that
have occurred in connection with the
insurance business as disclosed by the
Armstrong committee"
