Johnstown, Pa, April 17.-Three
men have been shot dead boy fatal
ly wounded and a mining engineer,
Eugene Delaney, seriously injured in
a riot at Windber among the striking
coal miners. The place is in a state
of terror. Sheriff Bagley has been
summoned and an appeal has been
made to Governor Pennypacker for
troops. Several others of the rioters
have sustained slight injuries. The
dead men and most of the injured are
foreigners. There is much dyna-
mite stored here and it is feared the
strikers will resort to the explosive
in revenge.
The names of the dead men were
Peitro Martini, Paul Zills, leaders of
the rioters; Antonio Mazuca and a
twelve-year-old boy, Charles Foster.
An eyewitness of the riot said the
trouble started when Deputy Sheriff
w. H. McMullen went to the mass
meeting held by the striking miners
in a wood at the edge of the town.
and the sight of the deputy made
them furious. The officer was quick
ly surrounded by miners, who threat
ened to kill him. McMullen, realizing
that his situation was desperate, fed
for his life, finding refuge in the house
| Of Councilman Charles Davis. Prac-
| tically every man who had. gone to
the mass meeting Joined in the chase
after the fleeing deputy, and soon
| after the latter had entered the Davis
house, it was surrounded by a mob OF
| 1000 shouting, cursing miners, who
challenged McMullen to come out.
| When McMullen failed to appear,
| the mob attacked the house and lit
orally wrecked it. The deputy sheriff
was roughly handled but again man
aged to escape. The members of the
Davis family fed to the homes OF
neighbors for shelter. Other deputies
who had been on duty guarding the
property of the coal company had
been notified of the trouble by this
time and twenty of the rioters were
landed in the lookup at Windber. The
mob, headed by Paul Zills, then
marched to the center of the town
: and prepared to storm the Jail and
release the rioters. At signal the
mob began to close in on the Jail
shouting to the deputies to throw
away their guns and give up the pris
oners. The officers first tried to keel
back the mob with bayonets, but the
/ effort was Intellectual, and when it be
came certain that the little band O
deputies and firemen could not stant
before the bowling, infuriated mob
j they opened fire. Those of the for
. eigners who were closest to the jai
e had already begun using knives in tn,
attempt to disarm the deputies, Will,
others flourshed revolvers The der
uties fired but one volley, and the for
a eigners broke and fled in wild disol
: der leaving three of their numbe
/ dead in front of the Jail. The wound
g ed who We're able to walk were hun
: ried to their homes, while an an
bulance took the more seriously hur
! to the Windber hospital. Charlie
}. Foster, the boy that was wounded
i died in the hospital.

ed by the large congregation.

pl>ins His Apparent Change of
Front On aRte Question.

ashIngton. SFeclal.--ihc setsa-
tional rate bill incident an the Senate
Saturday durin. which Mr.. Tillmau,
on the authority of former Senator
Chandler. made statements regarding
the Presidents course in connection
with pending railroad rate legislation,
one Of which statements was denied
by Mr.. Lodge on behalf of the presi-
dent, had its sequel this evening when
all official statement was issued by
the White House. giving all account
of the subject on the part OF the
President and Attorney General
Moody. The statement comprised
two letters, one from the President
to Senator Alison and the other from
Attorney General Moody 10 the presi-
dent, both dated the 18th. The Presi-
dent says, lin no ease. either In the
case of Mr.. Chandler or any one else,
wa sthere the slightest opportunity
for any honest misconception of my
attitude or any belief that | pledged
myself specifically 10 one and only
one amendment or set Of amend
ments or that | would not be salts
fed with any amendment which pre-
served the essntial features OF The
Hepburn bill as ii came from the
House.
The President SAYS that as TO many
Of the amendments. including the so
called Long, Overman. Bacon and
Spooner Amendments, he said he
should be entirely satisfied to have
them III the BILL and suggested modi-
iicatlons as TO other amendments. but
that as to none lof the amendments)
aid | ever say either to Mr. Chand-
Ter or to any one else that | should in
sist upon having them in the bill as a
condition of my APPROVAL and that
on the contrary he (the President)
was careful to state that he was not
trying to dictate any particular pro-
glamme of action.
The President says the statements
made to Senator Chandler were the
same in substance as those made to
Mr.. Allison and other Senators Of
both parties. He said he was asked
70 see Senator Chandler as the rep
resentative of Mr.. Tilman in change
of the bill and that the conferences
Attorney General Moody had with
Senators Tillman and Bailey were
such as had been held with many
other Senators to determine the
phraseology and discuss the effect of
amendments proposed by them The
President states that he became con
vinced that it was impossible for Sen
ators, with advantage to use him
as an intermediary and suggested to
all to whom he spoke that they COM
municate with Senator Allison, whose
purpose and the Presidents were
''identical. -
