Troops Bring Quiet.
The recall Of state militia to Colum'
bus for riot duty was marked tonight
| by a cessation of the disturbances that
| have been occurring here at lnterVals
in the last three weeks.
Troop B and battery C of Columbus,
were in their camps early this evening
and the First regiment OF Cincinnati
was scheduled to arrive In the night.
| To protect the soldiers from possible
malicious wrecks while en- route TO the
city. the Baltimore g. Ohio railroad
sent two pilot engines ahead and EN-
ployees patrolled the tracks. Details
of soldiers were aboard the engines
| These precautions were prompted by
the wrecking of the Fourth regiment
train coming from Marietta three weeks
| ago.
1t was predicted tonight that con-
| fict would ensue tomorrow between
the military and civil authorities for
the reason that Mayor Marshall has not
| been placed in full charge of militia
as well as police. He had this author
ity before and expects to assume 1t
| again. The militia commanders say
that the mayor is not to decide on the
militia s disposition.
AS soon as at was announced today
that the governor had gone over the
mayors head and recalled troops for
strike duty, it was stated that the
military would be in supreme COM
mand

state Just how the developments would
be handled, said that this was up to
the militia commanders.
General John C. Speaks, who is in
charge of troops here tonight, said
that soldiers will be held in quarters
until ut was discovered that the peo-
pie were unable to cope with the sit
nation when the soldiers would go to
the scene of the trouble BY State
ments made by Ohio National Guard
officials, it is assumed the soldiers if
called out will shoot to kill.
Mayor Marshall tonight called on the
rall-hght company to send It's cars in
early and the company complied so far
as cars entering trouble territory are
concerned, It's action explains in part
the absence of rioting,
