 Enquiry-Head of Armed Guards Has Disappeared.
 A Charleston (W. Va.) strike has broken out in the New river coal field In Raleigh county Several hundred men are involved. At Stanford 500 are out because of the alleged refusal of the operators to allow check weight man on the tipple.
 The national organization of mine workers is not yet interested in these two outbreaks. P. ! Paulson and oth- CT union organizers are rounding up their witnesses for the senate invesd- gation to begin at Charleston
 We expect to have about hundred witnesses soon." said MT. Paulson. "Some of them will come from New York, Chicago. Cincinnati and other cities. Men who had to steal out of West Virginia to keep from being rail- roaded into prison will come back to testify.''
 Tine disappearance of E. W. Cav ghot. who is described by the mine
  of the Baldwin Feltz guards, is causing concern among the miners. About three months ago Gawghot was divi- sion superintendent for the armed guards in the West Virginia coal fields. but later dropped out of sight
 There are two theories about Cav ghot who was much feared by mine workers. The first is that he has been sent away to keep him from testifying in court or any other investigation. and the second is that he was killed in the mountains by desperate miners. The mine workers have asked the senate committee to subpoena him if he is to be found
 A dozen deputy sergeants at arms of the senate will be at Charleston to serve subpoenas on unwilling wit neSses.

Old Passion Play.

Since 1901 the peasants OF vorder-

have had a passion play OF their own.
Its text dates. however, from the mid
die OF the sixteenth century. The last
performance was given In 1906: the
next one will take place in 1915. In
preparation for this coming produc-
ton. these peasant players reached
the conclusion early this year that
they needed new scenery. a new stage
and also a new road that would bring
visitors in greater numbers to their
mountain festival. To raise the
amount required they gave during the
months OF July and August series of
performances OF the drama. "Juda

SALMON SENT

BY ATHLETICS
Mack, Praising Local South
paw, Places Roger Out for
More Seasoning.

Roger Salmon. the promising young
southpaw. who had columns of space
devoted to his ability in the Connect
cut State League last season, will be
farmed out for another season to the
Louisville club of the American As
ISOLATION. Connie Mack, who has
Roger under his wing Is said 10 be
elated over the development Of the
local lar-boarder and in yanking him
from a class B organization and plac-
ing him with class "A team Roger
has shown enough merit 10 skip a
grade in his schooling for an ultimate
berth on the White Elephants.
In allowing Salmon to play for
Jack Hayden at Louisville Mack re-
tanned very strong cable on the
youngster in the shape of an OPP
tional agreement which must be ex-
ercised By August 20. Mack. who is
noted for his honesty when giving an
opinion, says he has great confidence
in the youngster. but believes it is
better for Roger to develop by de-
grees than to sit on a big league
bench with only an occasional chance
to work.
The Louisville club finished in the
ruck last season, but has been reor-
ganized since and is expected to
prove a factor in the American As
ISOLATION race.
