PROBE MONEY TRUST
HOUSE COMMITTEE INVESTIGA-
TON TO BE THOROUGH.
Charles w. Morse and j. Pierpont
Morgan Among Prominent Men
Men to Be Called.

New York, Sept. 20.-Among the
first witnesses to be called in the
money trust investigation, to be re-
sumed by the house committee on
banking and currency in this city
about the middle of November, will be
J. Pierpont Morgan and Charles w.
Morse. This was learned from Off
Gals of the committee. Deputy Ser
geant-at-Arms White of the house of
representatives is supposed to have
served these two and several other
financiers with subpoenas.
1t is known, however, that he has
subpoenas for Messrs. Morgan and
Morse, and also for William Rockefel-
Ter, James Stillman, Thomas F. Ryan,
George F. Baker, president of the
First National bank; Otto T. Barnard,
president of the New York Trust COM
pany; William Nash and Walter R..
Frew, respectively chairman of the
board and president of the Corn Ex-
change bank. The two latter are
made subject to the Jurisdiction of
the committee by reason Of their
service on the clearing house COM
mittee. Mr.. Nash was a member of
that all-powerful organization in 1907,
when the committee took charge of
the financial situation during the
panic, and has been charged by wit
nesses heretofore examined in the
money trust investigation with par
ticipating in conferences that pre-
ceded the closing of the old Oriental
National bank. which SO quickly was
followed by the collapse of what we're
known as the Morse banks-the Ma
tiona1 Of North America, the New Am
sterdam and the Mechanics and Trad
ers. Mr.. Frew is now member of
the clearing house committee.

Exchange Shots at Bling
ham, Utah.

Bingham, Utah, Sept 23.-Sixty-tw
hundred men now compose the army
of mine workers made idle by the
strike in the mines here Wednesday
morning, and present indications are
that this number will be greatly in
creased unless settlement of diff
f1culties is brought about within the
next few days.
The Greeks and Cretans, who until
Wednesday afternoon were fortified in
trenches overlooking the mines, have
remained true to their promise to
Governor Spry to give up the strong
hold, but have not relaxed their vigi-
lance on the mines. Pickets patroled
the roads leading to the mines on
Thursday night and early in the morn
ing several shots we're exchanged
with deputy sheriffs who attempted to
cross the highways leading into the
hills.

RIOTERS WRECK CARS
SUPERIOR, WIS.,, POLICE IN BAT
TIE WITH MOB.
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Prop
erty Is Ruined as Sequel
of Strike.

Superior, Wis, Sept 20.-A mob of
5000 strike sympathizers last night
destroyed thousands of dollars Of
street railway property and seriously
injured many nonunion street car en-
ployes.
The first attack on street cars re-
suited In the burning of six cars and
battle with the police, in which more
than 30 persons were injured, none,
1t is thought, fatally
Following this battle the mob
stormed the companys barn onFourth
street and Ogden avenue
The police were powerless. Sheriff
Edward McKinnon was ordered to
swear in deputies to preserve order
and save human life
Previous to this time every police
man on the force, specials and regu-
lars, was enlisted on night service,
but thousands of men and boys pa
raded the streets in widest disorder.
The fire department was ordered
ready to dispense the mob with hose.
The rioting started when a parade
of striking car men and hundreds Of
sympathizers ended at Belknap and
Tower streets. Just as the band
stopped playing a car came into view
from the east end and stopped at Og-
den and Belknap. The sound of shat
tered glass was the signal for the
mob to storm the car.
Stones, bricks and clubs were
thrown at the conductor, motorman
and policemen in the car.

A great many people, fearful OF the
ultimate swamping of this country by
an influx of foreigners, look only at
the statistics showing arrivals of i'm
migrants, and forget that there is a
refuent tide. During the fiscal year
which ended with the month of June
more than a million individuals from
foreign ports landed in ports of the
United States. OF these, however,
1888 were classified as non-immi-
grants, which fact reveals the num-
Der of immigrants as 838,172, says the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. But
against this there was an offset. The
alien departures from American ports
in the fiscal year numbered 615,292,
of whom 282, 900 were non-immigrants.
To find the extent of the immigrant
addition to the population in the
year 1911-12 it is necessary to sub
tract the 222,262 representing immi-
grants who departed from the 1885,
172 representing immigrants who ar
rived. The result shows the gain in
population by immigration during the
year to have been 401,S63 which is
not alarming.

The navy department has only
brief dispatch from General Pendle-
ton, In charge of the marine forces at

ported that the first detachment sent
to the rescue of Granada by Pendleton
was fired on at Masaya, point on
the railroad between Managua and
Granada. 1t is therefore assumed that
the first detachment, which was COM

Judge the results and explain the cess

This surprising situation arose from
the fact that the rival armies, number

effective air scouting which entailed
a constant change of tactivs and made
impossible any broad plan of action.
