MAYOR TO CALL MILITIA
TO COPE WITH CAR STRIKE
Three Shootings Result from the
Trouble at Columbus

COLUMBUS, July 26.-Mayor Mar
shall at midnight decided to cali on the
governors Office tomorrow before noon
for troops to cope with the local street
car strike situation. The mayor said
he was moved to take this step because
he considered strangers have been put
on cars who were irresponsible, as in
dicated by their actions tonight in
firing on crowds from the cars. Two
members of the crowd were shot, but
not seriously wounded, and street car
men were injured by bricks and stones
in tonights rioting.
Although there were three shooting
affrays connected with tonight's riot
ing in connection with the street car
strike. the police had the situation
much better in hand than last night,
when scores of rioters were arrested.
Mayor Marshall took advantage of
early reports of crowds gathering and
sent all available officers to the scene
at once.
The motormen shot into crowds which
annoyed them, and one man received
a wound in the leg. Mayor Marshall
has not asked for troops.

GOVERNOR NAMES
TWO NEW JUDGES
James Goes to Court of Appeals,
and Mccormick Takes
His Bench

Judge William P. James of the SUI
perior court yesterday was notified b!
Governor Gillett of his appointment
to fill the vacancy on the bencf
of the second district court ol
appeals caused by the death OF JUS
tice James w. Taggart. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Paul ]. Mccormick also
was notified of his appointment to take
Judge Jamese' place in the superior
court.
Both men abandoned the duties OF
their offices last night and Will imme-
diately be sworn in for their new po-
sitions. Each probably will take his
new place tomorrow.
The constitution, in sections bear
ing upon the filling of vacancies in the
courts. provides that judges shall be
chosen at the first general electlon
after the creation of a vacancy. Inc
question has arisen in this case, since
the time for selection of candidates
on regular party tickets for the COM
ing election is past, whether the new
members of the appellate and superior
benches are to hold their positions TOT
two months or two years Wlthout
being formally reelected. The su-
preme court has made no decision
which covers this particular instance,
and there is difference of opinions
on the question among lawyers.
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES
Judee James announced last night
that he would give up his superior
court candidacy and at once begin
preparations to become an independent
candidate for the appellate Judgeshlp
for the unexpired term of eight years.
He will take the precaution to start
the circulation of nominating petltlons'
Since per cent of the total number
of votes cast at the last regular elecT
ton in the district represents the
number of signatures which will be
required on the petitions the task Will
be no small one.
The first set of appellate judges in
the district is now in service. The law
provides that appellate judges shall
sit for twelve years, but 1t was ar
ranged that the three judges OF the
first set should serve four, eight and
twelve years respectively and that
unon their election they should choose
their terms by lot. Justice Taggart
drew the twelve-year term in the
drawing in this district. He had
served almost four years OF ms Time
Mccormick has announced that he
has withdrawn his petition in his can
didacy for the superior 1udgeshlp
and will become an independent can
didate in November for the remainder
of the term in the office to which he
has been appointed. Judge James
term was unexpired by two years.
Mccormick has been in Los Angeles
since 1898 and has been actively en-
gagged in practice and in various Of
fees for many years. He was admit
ted to the bar in April, 1900, and i'm
mediately became associated with Max
Loewenthal. The two practiced to-
NOr faI
opened an office of his own. In 1905
Mccormick was appointed as deputy
district attorney and has served con-
tinuously since.

HAVANA, July 26.-Senor Pasalodos,
secretary to President Gomez, tonight
issued a. statement regarding the occur
rences in Oriente province, which are
believed to be the beginning of a wide
spread revolutionary movement The
statement says:
1.-The government knows that General
Miniet and twelve men took the field
in insurrection from an unknoYn cause
yesterday in the vicinity Of Ell Caney.
They have now taken refuge in a diff
cult hill country, where they are being
hotly pursued by rural guards and
infantry from the garrison at San
tiago. Nothing is known of any other
uprising"
Rumors that General Jesus Rabi.
General Marie Monocal, president of
the veterans organization, and Louis
Perez, the former governor of Pinar
del Rio province, had Joined the insur-
gents were disproved by messages
sent by these men themselves assuring
the government of their loyalty.
Troops to the number of 800 were
dispatched today to the scene of the
rising from Camp Columbia. The gov
ernment suspects that the reason for
General Miniet's action lies in the re-
cent loss of an official position.
Following a midnight council at the
pOlaCO troops W6Te TuSIltu 10 Itlo us
affected district. The insurgents are
reported as retreating to the hills, pur-
sued by troops already in the province.
Last night the government learned
that Colonel Jane is with General
Miniet.
MAN OF INFLUENCE
Miniet is a man of influence, and It
was feared many malcontents would
rally around his standard.
Early this morning trains carrying
HOO troops, infantry and cavalry, left
Camp Columbia under command Of
General Mineago of the Royal guard.
AS strong military forces are already
stationed in the province of Santiago
the dispatch of additional troops indi-
Gates that the government considers
the situation grave.
The police of Santiago have seized a
quantity of arms at the headquarters
of the Veterans club, of which Colonel
Jane is the president.
The immediate cause OF the uprising
is not known here, but for several days
rumors have circulated through the
province of Santiago of impending
trouble. The rumors were declared by
officials of the government to be with
out foundation.

DEN0UNCES REGULAR SoLoNs
Says Hale, DalzeIL AIdrich and

Yearly Dividend
Associated Pressl

OLATHD, Kas., July Ex-senator AL
bert B. Cummins in an address here
this afternoon attacked the United
States Steel corporation. This was the
last speech of Senator Cummins' pres
ent Kansas tour. Immediately after he
had finished speaking he left for his
home in Des Moines.
Senator Cummins said he would fill
no more speaking dates between now
and August 2. The strenuous campaign
work in Kansas has sapped the sem
ators strength and he has gone home
for time. Senator Cummins in his
speech here said in part:
THE ORIGINAL SALE
"You will remember that in 1901 the
Carnegie Steel company of Pittsburg
sold its plant to the United States Steel
corporation, organized that year. The
steel corporation paid the Carnegie
Steel company $500.O $1,000 for its plant
and business. OF this incomprehensible
sum Andrew Carnegie received $780,
100000 in the bonds of the corporation
and his associates in business received
the remainder. What was the plant
worth? That is not subject longer in
dispute. 1t has been most minutely
investigated. The highest value any
reasonable man would put on 1t in 1901
was $80000,000, and tho United States
Steel corporation paid to Andrew Car
negle's company $42O, 900 more than
1t was worth, more than would be re-
quired to reproduce It with every mod
ern Improvement known to the busi-
ness.
BIG DIVIDENDS
"Now. why did the United States
Steel corporation pay $420, 100000 more
for this property than it was worth2 I
will tell you. 1t examined the books
of the Carnegie Steel company, and
there 1t was shown that over series
of years the Carnegie company had
been making profits that would pay in
terest on $500. 100000, and the United
States Steel corporation had enough
confidence in its own power, enough
confidence in the friendship OF men like
Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Payne of
New York and Aldrlch Of Rhode Island
and Hale of Maine and Lodge of Mas
sachusetts to be sure that in the years
to come 1t would be able to earn inter
est on the $500, 100000 it was then pay
ing to the Carnegie Steel company.
This is the sole secret of that trans
action"
Senator Cummins then told of the
company's reorganization with a capi-
tai of $1,000, 100000 He said $500, 900
of this capitalization was pure water.

PREDICTS INSURGENT
CONTROL OF CONGRESS
Senator CumminS Sees Victory
for His Faction

KANSAS CITY, July Ex-senator
Albert b. Cummins was in this city
for two hours tonight, when he passed
through en- route for his home in Des
Moines. In an interview he predicted
that the progressive Republicans would
control the Republican national con-
vention In 1912 and that progressive
Republicans might control congress
before that time.
'In the senate Senator Aldrich and
Senator Hale are going to retire." he
said, land there won't be any one IN
the senate on that side to take up the
reins of authority that Aldrich will lay
down. There is bound. therefore, to be
a disintegration Of that force. Ready
to take 1t up in the senate Is a militant,
aggressive organization of insurgent
senator's. AS a nucleus right now we
have fourteen senators fairly we'll iden-
titled with us in the senate.
'I have gained the impression that
in Kansas the sentiment is overwhelm-
ingly progressive"

AMMUNITION LIGHTER
BURNS IN NAVY YARD
Quick Action of Blue Jackets
Saves Supply Ship

NEW YORK, July 26.-Intense ex-
citement prevailed for time at the
Brooklyn navy yard today when an
ammunition lighter which was berthed
alongside the supply ship Culgoa
caught fire and was destroyed, togeth-
er with her ammunition. after being
towed out in midstream. The Culgoa
was only slightly damaged. The am
munition, which was in the form of
powder, flashed up and burned, but
being in unsealed cans did not explode.
When the fire broke out the blue
jackets in the yard were rushed into
service as fire-fighters.
The lighter, 1t was soon seen, could
not be saved and tugs managed to
get line to her and towed her out
into the river. where the flames had
pretty much their own way with her,
despite many streams of water.
The damage to the Culgoa was con-
fined to the scorching of her side next
the burning lighter.

MCKAY RELEASED ON
BONDS OF SAN DlEGAN
American Returns to His Estate
at Tia Juana

SAN DIEGO, July 26.-It was learned
today that D. w. Mckay, the wealthy
American whose arrest in Lower Cali
fornia recently was the subject of dip
lomatic correspondence, returned from
Ensenada to this city yesterday and
after a brief stay went back to his
estate at Tia Juana, below the Mex
ican boundary. McKay's release was
on bonds furnished by w. r. Rogers
of this city.
Mr.. Rogers appears to be in doubt
as to what the ultimate outcome of
the case will be. Jesse e. Wadham,
McKay's lawyer, was out of the city
today and the next step in the affair
could not be learned
From the fact that Mckay has gone
hack to Mexico, however, it is inferred
that he expects no further trouble.
