TROOPS GUARD MILLS.
Strikers Remain Firm and Refuse to Re-
sumo Work at American Tin
plate Plant

BRIDGEPORT, O.. Dec. 6.-With
1900 troops on hand, disorders in the
strike zone of the Aetna-Standard mills
of the American Sheet and Tinplate
company failed to materialize today.
Neither did the plants resume operation.
Officials Of the company believed that
the protection afforded by the guards
men would result in many men returning
to work today. However, none did. 1t
is said in the event the men do not re-
sumo work by Tuesday evening, impor-
tations will be made.
1t is possible that half the troops will
be sent home tonight. Adjt.Gen. Wey-
brecht said there was not the slightest
necessity for the presence Of soldiers in
such large numbers.
All but three of the several hundred
men who deserted the strikers last
Wednesday. and made it possible to oper-
ate the mills i'll part, have been white
washed" by their respective unions, and
are again in good standing.

RAPS COTTON FUTURES
COMMISSIONER SMITH SAYS DEALS
HIT FARMERS AND BUYERS.
Report, While Admitting Exchanges Are
Necessary, Criticises New
York Branch.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 6.-Both
the producers of cotton and the dealers
in that commodity are the victims of the
system of trading in vogue on the cotton
exchanges OF the country. This is the
burden of parts 4 and 5 of the report of
Commissioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith on the conduct of such ex-
changes. The practice of dealing in flu
lures, as it is carried on at present, is
condemned, although the report does not
condemn the existence of the exchange.
The report is especially condemnatory
of the dealings in futures, branding this
form of speculation as pure gambling ana
highly injurious to legitimate trade. In
quotations for future" deliveries of cot
ton the market is so uncertain and so
many elements Of chance enter into the
transaction that all bids are made at
a much lower figure than those offered
for cotton actually in existence.
The effect of these fictitious quota
ton, the report point sout, tends to mis-
lead the cotton planter as to the true
value of his crop, honestly grown. In
addition, it leads brokers to play" both
sides of the market to protect themselves
against loss in such trades. with the re-
suit that the producer is forced to pay
in the end, while the farmer loses like
wise.
In closing the letter to President Taft
which accompanied his report Commits
sioner Smith again takes occasion to re-
prove the New York exchange. He
says:
after the publication of the earlier
parts of this report the New Orleans and
New York cotton exchanges established
special committees instructed to cOnsld-
er the systems of their exchanges and to
cooperate therein with the commissioner
of corporations. Conferences have been
held by the commissioner with both COM
mittees. On the part of New Orleans
this cooperation was very complete, re-
sulting in certain important improve
ments in the rules OF that exchange. Aft
err more than a years investigation the
committee of the New York exchange
has not yet made any final report or
taken any substantial action"
The report. while recognizing that the
exchanges in New Orleans and New
York are necessary, does not mince
words in criticising the New York ex-
change.

MILLION DOLLAR
THEFT ALLEGED
PRESIDENT SHELDON OF PHOENIX
FIRE INSURANCE CO. CHARGED
WITH CRIME.
ACCUSED BY STATE OFFICIAL.
Superintendent of Insurance Recon-
mends That Criminal Prosecution
Be Begun.
SHELDON IS DYING OF DROPSY

NEW YORK, Dec T. The fact
that George 2 Sheldon is so i'll at his
home i'll Connecticut that he is expected
to die viii not cause an abandonment of
the criminal investigation and prOsecu-
ton in the affairs of the Phenix Insur-
ance company of Brooklyn.
Following the removal of Sheldon
from the presidency. the state insurance
department has placed the case i'll the
hands of the district attorney.
w. II. Hotchliss, superintendent of
the insurance department, declared in
his report that the Phenix Insurance
company, through its president, had been
in the habit of lending considerable sums
to state insurance officials and that for
twenty-five years the company had not
been investigated by the department.
-Four state insurance officials are men
toned, whose loans from the PheniX ag-
gregates 100000.
Losses Will Be 81 ,0oo,o 900.
The insurance department believes
that the company's risks to the public
are not involved and that the entire loss
through loans negotiated by Sheldon can
be balanced by crossing off $1,O00,0OO of
the cOmpany's $3,000OO0 surplus.
Although the investigation thus far
shows that Sheldon managed the affairs
of the company alone and without con-
Sulting the board of directors, Supt.
HotchkisS declares that each of the di-
rectors is responsible under the law.
The charge that the company has per-
sistently made false reports of its trans
actions and condition to the insurance
department may involve other officers be-
sides Mr.. Sheldon.
Investigation Is Begun.
Investigation into the affairs of the
company was begun To-Day by the grand
jury. The witnesses summoned include
a number of insurance men and repre-
sentativeS from the office of Superintend-
eut of Insurance HotchkiSs and from
banking and brokerage houses.

MARION, ILL.,, Dec. Gone man was
killed, others narrowly escaped injury
and mother and her children were driv-
en- from their home in the village of
Scottsboro last night when fifty Italian

American inhabitants and they threat
ened the Italians, but a conflict was
averted.
The first attack by the Italians was
made on the home of Jacob Newton, who
has aided III prosecuting number of
petty criminals. Newton was not at
home, but the rioters fired many shots
into the house. Mrs. Newton and the
children escaped through a rear door.
The rioters continued firing shots at
Americans during the night.
