MINERS WILL INSIST
WATCHMEN BE "FIRED"
Not in Favor of Grievance Committee
and Have Determined to Fight
Issue with Mine
Owners
BY Associated Press.


GOLDFIELD, New, July 1S.-The
miners union at a mass meeting held
in the baseball park this afternoon
pany that the two watchmen, over the
employment of whom trouble has been
brewing for some time past, must be
discharged.
The Western Federation of Miners
claim jurisdiction over all men em-
ployed in or about the mines.
The Mine Owners association on the
other hand claim that the watchmen
are special employees hired to guard
the company's interests and to report
any dereliction, not only on the part
of the miners but on the part of fore
men and superintendents and employees
generally, and therefore should not be
under the jurisdiction and control OF
any labor organization.
At the mass meeting of the miners
held two weeks ago action was post
poned at the request of the Mine own
ers association, who requested that all
disputes including the question of
Jurisdiction over the watchmen, be re-
ferred to a permanent grievance COM
mittee to be appointed by the miners
and the mine owners.
The vote today shows that the miners
are not in favor of the grievance com
mittee and have determined to force
the issue.
The action must be ratified by the
local union in regular session before
becoming effective. 1t is believed that
the differences will be arranged in a
satisfactory manner, although 1t is not
probable that the Consolidated will con-
sent to discharge it's watchmen.

EMPEROR OF KOREA
MIDNIGHT VISITOR
ALARMS HOLLYWOOD
SUSPICIOUS VISITOR is FOUND
NEAR HoEGEE's
Fails to Answer Questions Satisfac-
toriIy and Asks to Be Directed
to Home of Fictitious
Person

Considerable excitement waj caused in
when Mrs. A. Gregory, living in the
vicinity of Beaumont avenue and Pros
pect street, telephoned to City Marshal
william C. Fry and a neighbor. Frank
Harrison, that suspicious character had
just been seen in the vicinity of Hoegee's
store, on Vermont avenue.
Looks Like lncendiary
The man answers very closely the de-
scription given of the incendiary who set
fire to the house of Mr.. Fry on July 4.
He seemed i'll at ease and asked several
peculiar questions. When asked what he
was doing in the vicinity at such a late
hour he asked to be directed to the
residence of man whose name as given
by him. is ~tirely unknown in Holly
wood.
A half dozen detectives are now search
ing for the suspicious stranger, who
walked rapidly away into the darkness
without waiting to reply to the questions
with which his interviewer was plying
him.
1t will be a sad day for anyone who is
caught committing an incendiary act in
Hollywood and all suspicious characters
will henceforth be closely questioned, and
detained if answers are not satisfactory.
Citizens Form Committee
Alarmed by series of incendiary fires
which have consumed some of the pret-
tiest homes in Hollywood the citizens of
that fair municipality have at last taken
preventive measures and are striving
with might and main to capture the per-
petrators of the crimes
vigilance committee consisting of
twenty-four of Hollywood's most prom
inent citizens has been formed, and a
night watch is maintained all over the
city in an effort to apprehend the mis-
creants. Mr.. Anderson of the Hotel
Hollywood has been chosen chief of the
vigilantes.
The city has been portiohed off into
districts, and in each district a vigilante
Is stationed throughout the night to
guard his section, armed to enforce his
authority with cold lead if necessary.
Detectives on Duty
Already over $500 has been subscribed
for the purpose of offering reward for
the incendiary and more is promised
from citizens who are aroused over the
danger to their homes.
Every resident of Hollywood will be
examined or Investigated and will have
to bring forward some one known to the
committee to vouch for him.
OF the six fires which have occurred re-
Gently, indications in almost every case
seem to point to incendiarism. Matches
were found in unaccustomed places in
the houses. Three of the fires were in
the eastern part of the city and three
in the west. Three of these houses were
burned to the ground. At the home of
L. A. McCray the fire started in closet
where no member of the family would
have been likely to put matches or other
inflammable materials.

TRUST MAGNATES
SENT TO PRISON
MUST SERVE SIX
MONTHS IN WoRKHoUSE
Mayor Brand WhltIock Declares That
When Rich Men Are Sent to
Jail Prisons Will Be
Abandoned

Special to The Herald.
TOLEDO, O., July 1S.-Toledo is fur
nishing the sensation of the hour in the
way Of court procedure.
Some 25 to 30 of her most prominent
business men, representing the wealth,
aristocracy and social position of the
city, have just gone through the un-
enviable experience of sitting and squirm-
ing in the seats of the ordinary every day
criminal.
In other words, these men constitute
the bridge, brick and lumber trusts, and
after having pleaded guilty few days
ago to a violation of the Valentine law,
they were lined up before Judge L. w.
Morris to receive what was coming to
them, and what they got was certainly
a stiff, stern sentence, which made them
blanch and tremble.
In passing sentence Judge Morris gave
expression to a scathing rebuke, saying
in part:
1T is the sentence of this court that
the lumbermen serve six months in the
Toledo workhouse; the bridgemen a
similar sentence, and as to the brickmen
who pleaded guilty to a section of the
Valentine law which eliminates a Jail
sentence, it is the sentence of this court
that these men pay the maximum fine,
which is $1,000.
'It is not essential, but absolutely
reprehensible, to engage in business
against the people of Toledo, who are
trying to acquire homes and to require
them to pay more for necessities than
you require of those who do not live in
Toledo.
"Any man engaged in that kind OF
work ought to be ashamed of himself.
None of you can look your neighbor
in the face and justify your position. 1t
is hard to distinguish in morals between
the poor man who by night steals money
from the rich from the rich man who
by hook or crook or by stealthy plan
ming, steals money from the poor man."
No appeal is open to them after plead
ing guilty; they must serve their time
in Jail.
1t was a sorry looking aggregation
they presented as they gloomily strolled
from the court house one by one
When asked what he thought about the
matter, the mayor, Brand Whitlock, said:
MY views on the subject of prisons are
sufficiently well known and sufficiently
we'll misunderstood for most people
around here to know that / never like
to see anybody sent to prison, and always
feel sorry for those who go there.
"About the only hope 1 see in trying
to deal with economic questions by
means of criminal statutes is that as
soon as we get to sending rich men to
prison the prisons will be done away
