POTTSVILLE, Pa, May S.-An idle
anthracite miner was shot to death
and two others and a woman were
critically wounded by state troopers
while quelling mob violence near Min
ersville today All the victims are for

The outbreak occurred when a mob
stopped several pumpmen who were
on their way to work in the Pine Hill
colliery. Under the rules of the union
they were permitted to remain at their
posts, but the foreign miners evidently
did not understand this
Five hundred men and women, the
majority of them foreigners. turned
the pumpmen back. Then they began
fighting among themselves. Stones
were thrown and clubs welded. A de-
tachment of state troopers fastened up
and ordered the rioters to disperse
They were arrested with chorus of
curses and a yolley of stones. Some
one in the mob drew a pistol and fired
at the troopers. The troopers drew
their weapons and returned the fire

55 miles north of Baton Rouge today.
Boats manned by National guardsmen
were sent in an attempt to rescue the
500 residents of the village. A cre-

rapidly at latest accounts.
Twenty thousand persons have been
rescued up to date and are in need of
succor. All are suffering privationS

In addition to sufferers in the Mis-

state has been asked to give them as

State troops are rounding up all the

levees at points where they are threat

The professors of the Baton Rouge
university have formed an employ

upon the levees. A committee has
been appointed to raise funds to re-
imburse the laborers. Practically all
the students of the university are
working upon the dikes. Free rations
are being given to all who go to work.
A serious boil developed opposite
Bayou Sara near New Roads early to-
day. The levee at that point was
strengthened and later reports said
the fears had been quelled.
