STRIKING MINERS ARE
IN DESPERATE MOOD
MEMBERS OF WESTERN Fedora.

TALLY Settled, Although There is
Likely to Be an Outbreak
at Any Time

by Associated EreSS.
DULUTH Mimi, Aug lone working
day has passed since operations began on
the range following the settlement of the
ore dock strike and no serious disorder
has been reported.
The Industrial sky over the range is not
cloudless, however, for the attitude of the
followers of the Western Federation of
Miners indicates an attitude of despera-
ton which was somewhat intensified by a
vitriolic address delivered last night by
Petriela, who advocated the use of guns
to maintain what he said was their right
to sell their labor where they could at the
best advantage.
In this address Petriella gave the gov
ernor "twenty-four hours in which to
grant these men justice" at the end of
which time he advised the men to be
ready to strike the head off any man
who tries to crush you"
Whether at the end of twenty-four
hours anything will come of this is
awaited with anxiety and the officials are
prepared. All of the special guards who
have been in Duluth during the past few
days were rushed to the range to aug
ment Sheriff Bates force of deputies.

Reports received here today indicate

LONE WOMAN DEFIES
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
BREAKS QUARANTINE AND WILL
NOT STAY HOME
Guard Takes Her to Sisters House and
Is Compelled to Fumisate After
She Leaves-Court Dis
misses Case

One lone woman, stubborn and defiant,
kent the machinery of the health de-
partment in motion yesterday just be-
cause she insisted on going where she
pleased.
Mrs. S. Davis, an English woman,
whose daughter has been sick with scar
let fever, has won the distinction of
having made more trouble than any one
who has ever had dealings with the
quarantine service in Los Angeles.
1t is charged that she is a confirmed
quarantine runner.
To Judge Rose yesterday the woman
told a plausible story explaining her ac-
tions-so plausible that Judge Rose dis
missed her on the misdemeanor charge
pending.
She had been arrested after Chief
Quarantine Guard George Miles had laid
the case before the city prosecutor.
Regret Dismissal
The health department was anxious to
make an example of the woman to pre-
vent others from defying the health
rules and there was keen regret when
! the disposition of the case became
known.
Mrs Davis lived at 40 North Bunker
Hill avenue.
Her daughter became sick July 13 and
DIR. Goodson was called in attendance.
He pronounced the ailment scarlet fever
and the usual surveillance steps were
taken and placards posted.
From statements of the health authori-
ties Mrs Davis has kept them on the
jump since by disobeying the rules and
going from place to place.
Woman EIudes Guards
Guards tried to follow her, but she
succeeded in eluding them. She always
got back to the house in time to avoid
prosecution.
The guards said they were morally
sure that Mrs Davis had gone visiting
somewhere. She insisted that the state
ments are untrue.
Chief Guard Miles took personal charge
of the case as result and he alleges
he tracked her to her sisters, 6A Tenn
pie street AS a result of this visit this
latter house was Immediately fumigated
by the department
night by her friends, who were anxious
to the charges, but they predict that the
trouble has only begun.
st feel pretty badly about this case"
said Guard Miles last night. II put in
a whole morning in swearing to the
complaint, then after the arrest found
that the court had dismissed her.
"Why, we had to fumigate her sisters S
house just because Mrs Davis went
there before the quarantine had been
lifted.
"She told us she would have her way
and 1 guess she had it all right"

CHILD is MURDERED
IN HORRIBLE MANNER
ANOTHER ATRocIoUs CRIME RE-
CORDED IN NEW YORK
Little Girl Assaulted and Strangled to
Death-Two Men Are Detained
In Connection with Inves-
tleation

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The excitement
caused in this city by the recent atrocious
crimes against women and children was
greatly increased today by the discov-
cry of the body of an eight-year-old girl
in the cellar of an East Side tenement.
The child had been assaulted and muir
dered. There were marks upon the throat
indicating that perhaps the little one
was strangled.
The child was the daughter of a Ger
man waiter named Dritschler. She had
been missing a week. An examination
of the body showed that the child was
killed in exactly the same manner as
Sophie Kohrer was murdered several days
ago. Deeply imbedded in the flesh or
this girls neck was found hair rib
bon probably taken from her own hair,
drawn tightly and knotted.
Gaetono Rippolone, cobbler VINO had
a shop in the building in which the young
girl lived, and his partner. Giuzeppe Boa
fante, were detained in connection with
the case.
The crime was committed in 1.-The
graveyard,'' as the foreign populated
neighborhood on First avenue between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets Is
known. The latest discovered victim,
like the two young women murdered re-
| Gently, had Deen SnOChllBly HlStledtSo
before death and the body mutilated

Murders Similar

| boarding house; the next morning the
1 body of a still unidentified woman who
| had been choked to death was found In
an area way in East Nineteenth street
| Katie Dritschler, daughter of restau-
rant waiter, disappeared week ago to-
| day and was killed that night. A rib
bon placed about the throat and drawn
| so tightly that it cut the flesh showed
how she died. Her body was found to-
day.
1.-THE graveyard" takes it's name from
| the proximity of the old Thirteenth
street cemetery, and the locality has
| been the scene of several revolving muir
ders. The majority of the residents are
foreigners. The body of Katie Dritsch-
ler- was discovered today within a block
of her home and scarcely a hundred
yards from the location of a placard
placed by the father calling attention to
the fact that his child was lost.
How the body could have remained un-
discovered for a week is not explained.
The body lay upon berry crate with
seemingly no effort at concealment.

Japanese government by authority of the
emperor but Japan used all her cunning
to show that we appeared at The Hague
without any authority. We blame our
treatment in Holland entirely to the
Japanese. Korea will never agree to
Japanese domination.
''We knew before we left Korea that
Japan would force the emperor to abdi-
cate. Japan seeks to drive us from our
land and destroy our kingdom. Korea
has always been a peaceful nation. We
have no guns arms or powder and we

Warns United States

"The United States does not realize
what Japan's policy is in the far east and
what it portends for the American people.
The Japanese adopted policy that in the
end will give her complete control over
commerce and industry in the far east.
Japan is bitter against the United States
and against Great Britain. You in Amer
lea do not realize this, but If the United
States does not watch Japan closely she
will force the Americans ana Engllsn out
of the far east.
"I shall try to see President Roosevelt,
but when cannot say. 1t is my purpose
to visit several of the large cities OF the
country to make my plea for my people
and I shall return to Korea where death
awaits me. The Japanese have passed an
edict of punishment against me, and am
officially a dead man. The Japanese may
kill me but they cannot kill the cause Tor
which 1 am fighting. The only way Japan
can dominate in Korea is to Kill all my
people"
Prince vi is young man and dresses
in European fashion.
Mr.. Sui said thah his fellow delegate to
The Hague, vi Tjomi, was so overcome
when he learned that Korea would not
be permitted to appear before The Hague
tribunal that he died of broken heart.
Prince vi was deeply affected on hear
ing that forty Korean soldiers had been
killed or wounded while resisting an at
tempt of the Japanese to disarm the
Korean army.
1.-THE death of those soldiers" declared
Prince VI feelingly marks the baptism
in blood of Korea's final efforts to throw
off Japans domination. The Korean
army will resist Japans disarmament
steps to the last and Korea, responding to
great national sentiment, will rise up
and fight for her liberty"
