MURDER IS CHARGED
Warrant for Foot Ball Player
Who Killed Another.
ROUGH GAME AT WHEELING
Both Teams Participated in Slug.
ging, It Is Alleged.
ACCUSED BY THE REFEREE

WHEELING. W. Va, November IA
\ warrant. formally charging Thomas
Mccoy, right end Of the Bethany College
foot ball team. with murder in connection
with the death of Capt. Rudolph Munk
of the West Virginia University team,
was issued here yesterday by Magistrate
r. G. Hobbs.
The action followed partial completion
of the inquest by Coroner ". w. Rogers.
Munk was injured in the game between
the two teams here Saturday and died
within five hours without regaining con-
seriousness
The testimony upon which the warrant
was issued was furnished principally by
Homer N. Young, a Pittsburg attorney.
who umpired the game. Young testified
that Munk was making interference, and
was few yards in front of the scrim-
mage line when Mccoy came up to the
West Virginia captain. striking him in
the head. Munk fell to the ground un-
conscious and Young ordered Mccoy from
the game.
Blood Clot on Brain.
The autopsy held at the coroners office
disclosed the fact that Munk's death was
caused by blood clot at the base of his
brain and could not have been the result
of former injury. The dead athletes
body was removed to his home at Con-
nellsville, Pa. Mccoy, also known as
Gardner, who is charged with causing
the players death, lives at Canton, Ohio.
Referee Young. who is a former Uni
versity of Michigan player, made the
following statement:
Rudolph Munk was running down
the field in advance of the man with
the ball, West Virginia having the
bal labOut 30 yards from the Beth
any goal. He was not close to the ball.
On this play he was met by man
said to be Gardner. as his name was
given to me by Townsend. the coach
for the Bethany team. On this par
ticular play this man Gardner, ran to-
ward Munk while both were running
down the field About the time they
got 10 yards beyond the scrimmage
line Gardner to the best of my recol-
lection. struck Munk on the back of his
head with his (Gardner's) fist. Munk
fell and Gardner practically fell over
him. Gardner got on his feet, for an
instant gazed at Munk and started to
walk off the field. For this foul put
him out of the game He made no
reply and no protest whatever. Munk
was unconscious. Evidently to me the
blow which felled Munk was inten-
tiOnal.'

NATIONAL GUARD WEAK,
LABOR UNIONS BLAMED
Col. Weaver Says Their An
tagonism Keeps Ranks
Trimmed Out.

The attitude of the labor unions toward
the organized militia has created a very
pessimistic feeling among officers Of the
army and the National Guard, which is
reflected strongly in the annual report Of
Col. f. NJ Weaver, chief of the militia
division of the war department. That OFF,
Ger says it is almost hopeless to expect
any relief from the present conditions by
enactment of state laws or through any
national law that would restrain the
unions from their unfriendly attitude.
The preachings, OF patriotism. he says.
are of no effect even where it is shown
that the sole purpose of the militia is
the maintenance of law and order
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-11-14
Favors State Constabulary.

In Col. Weaver's opinion the only real
practical solution of the problem lies in
the creation by the states of a state con-
stabulary on the lines of the highly
trained and disciplined constabulary of
Pennsylvania. to supplement the efforts
of the local police or constabulary in the
repression of disorder. 1t is his belief
that the labor unions would then come 10
look upon the militia as force for ma
tional defense rather than ais a state po-
lice. and in course of time their opposi-
ton would disappear.
Perhaps, for the reason indicated, the
increase in the strength of the National
Guard was only trifiing during the past
year. According to the latest returns, this
strength was 9.155 officers and 11OJ men
net increase Of only 734 over the proceed
ing year. 1t is curious fact that the lit
tie territory OF Hawaii shows the greatest
percentage of militiamen to population
the number being Ills per 600 while the
territory Of Nevada had not single mill
tiaman in the organized ranks. And the
average of the whole country was very
low, being only a. militiamen to every

Played Under Assumed Name.

Mccoy is the real name of the player
who is charged with striking Munk. but
in this game he was playing under the
name of Gardner After he had been
ordered from the field he passed the
bleachers. where several hundred West
Virginia rooters were standing. Cries of
Dirty player" and Tough! came from
the crowd, and in reply Mccoy said.
We'll, he was smuggling me all through
the game
DR.. o. NJ. Stats rushed to the side of
the player, and, hurriedly placing him ir
an automobile. rushed him to the city
hospital Half a score of physicians
worked over him, but all to no avail.
He died shortly after s o'clock without
having regained consciousness. The West
Virginia team. all Of them heartbroken,
left for Morgantown.
Capt. Henley of Bethany, when asked
concerning the play, said: 1T is the con-
sensus of opinion among the Bethany
players that Munk hit Mccoy and Mccoy
hit him back. None of the Bethany play
ers saw the play, nor do l think the OFF,
Gals did, as all were watching the man
with the ball.

Had Been Slugging Game.

Coach Townsend Of Bethany said:
Struggling had been going on all through
the game. and just prior to the accident
l had asked the officials to have it

remarks. All of our players deeply re-
greet the affair. and we will take up a

DIR. c. A. Carr. who was one Of the
physicians who attended Munk, said:
"Munk has not been well for year. At
the Thanksgiving game last year at Nor
gantown between West Virginia and
Washington and Jefferson he was injured
In a manner very similar to the accident
today. He never fully recovered from
that injury and was subject to dizzy
spells as a result. He had no business in
the game. as a very slight blow would
have accomplished his death"
Manager Tom Foulk of the West Vir-
ginia team said: "Munk has not been
well, but he insisted on playing. He re-
cefved raps in the Pennsylvania and Pitt
games. but not on the head, which made
him dizzy and forced him to retire from
the contest

for Mccoy, left for Wheeling Monday
morning to attend the coroners inquest
into the death of Munk. Mccoy prepared
to go with them, but just before train
time it was decided that he will remain
in Canton pending developments. He and
his father may leave for Wheeling to-
night.

A. Mccoy, charged with murder in con-
nection with the death Of Rudolph Munk
during the foot ball game at Wheeling

Coy said: 1T is q terrible thing for q
young man like Tom to be charged with
any crime. / am sure he was in no wa,
to blame. 1t was AN accident in the game
Tom is heartbroken. and said to me, 4
would rather ten thousand times that
had been killed. 1 often had tried to
