pany in the conspiracy by which, it is
alleged, it defrauded the Illinois Cen

cree handed down at Memphis by
Chancellor F. H. Heiskell in the
Chancery court of Shelby county,
Tenn, by which the railroad is to re-
ceive from the car company a restitu-
ton of $780, 600 in cash and property.
A list of seven former officials of

which stood the name of Ira G. Rawn,

GOV. HARMON ORDERS
TROOPS TO COLUMBUS
Plans to Stop Strike Rioting
Without Mayors Help.
ADJUTANT- GENERAL IN CHARGE

Governor Harmon Has Assumed Per-
sonal Charge of the Car Strike
Situation-Soldiers Camp on
State House Grounds.
Columbus, Ohio.-Fresh rioting
among the striking street railway en-
ployes caused Governor Harmon to
issue a call for 1000 members of
the militia to come back here to quell
the disturbance. 1t is reported that
at least 5000 militiamen will be sta
toned here and that they will be kept
on duty until Christmas, If necessary,
as the governor is determined that
the lawlessness must end. Three
hundred members of the First Ohio
regiment of Cincinnati came here on
a special train. Each member was
equipped with twenty rounds of AMI
munition.
When troops were here before tho
governor allowed Mayor Marshall to
direct them through commanding gen.
erals when he saw fit. Now the gov
ernor is in charge of the troops and
Lilo QJuIdAC-SChCt 5AfOo thO OA0Ni
The troops were not placed for pa
troll, but were held in the state house
grounds. The trouble has been due
to the guerrilla warfare of stone
throwers and men with guns who hide
in alleys and houses to attack cars
and make their getaway before the
police and deputy sheriffs can find
them.
The plan is for the governor to
direct the troops and the mayor to
handle his police force, now much
depleted by the mutiny due to the
order that the police ride the cars as
guards. In case the police and mill
tary reach a scene of rioting together
the soldiers are to be in authority.
Bankers and business men have
raised $12,500 to pay for special
deputy sheriffs, but the authorities
have been practically unable to
list deputies or special police officers.
The soldiers orders are to "shoot
and to kill" if any resistance is
offered to their authority. The SOL
diers are provided with riot cart
ridges, each of which is guaranteed
to injure from ten to fifteen persons
in a mob.
Governor Harmon issued a procla-
nation calling on all citizens to rally
to the standard of law and order and
assist the troops and local police in
putting down riot and disorder. The
governor declared that he believed the
situation had got beyond the local
authorities, and that it devolved upon
him as governor to step in and use the
states authority in preserving order.
He takes entire responsibility for call
ing the troops back to Columbus.
When he issued the call he made it
plain that he had done so without
any request from Mayor Marshall or
any one else connected with the city
administration.

reports of officers when it was dis

debt to locals for borrowed money
to the amount of $125,000. In addi-
ton to this there is an oyerdraft of
$4,000 unpaid, and to meet the ex-
penses of the convention the miners
must depend upon the weeks assess
ments.
This condition, contrasted with that
Of five years ago, when the organiza-
tion had a bank balance of nearly
$1,000,000, is creating more discus
sion than the quarrel between Lewis

that with s 5000 men idle and the
