STRIKING COPPER MINERS
AROUSED OVER ASSAULT

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 27-Strikfng
miners in the copper region were gem
| orally aroused today over the deporta-
ton of Charles H. Meyer, president
last night. Feeling here between the
strikers and the Citizens Alliance, en-
FILTERED by the disaster Of Christmas
Eve, reached a point where the con-
servativeS looked forward with relief
to the early arrival of John B. Dens-
more, federal agent who has been dele
gated to investigate conditions.
Some persons think there never was
time since the strike began, when
there was less chance of arbitration
but it is hoped the presence Of a solic-
itor from the department of labor
would have a steadying influence At
the headquarters of theWestern Fed
Grafton of miners it was charged that
Meyer was Kidnapped because of
statements made by him growing out
OF the panic in Italian Hall. Meyer
was conducted out of the state. it was
said. by members Of the Alliance
because he would not retract the as
sertion that according to his informa-
ton the men who started the panic
with cry OF fire" were at the bottom
or the Citizens Alliance and because of
his advice to the bereaved families to
accept no aid from the Alliance.
Meyer refused to listen to the ap-
peal or members OF the Citizens Ali
ance in Hancock last night. He was
escorted by three men to a railroad
station and placed on a train for
Chicago. With him went John Tanner

now. One of these was i'll in bed
and the other two denied they were in
any way concerned in the deportation.
The Citizens Alliance has no formal
organization and all men approached
on the subject today said they were
ignorant of the happenings at Han
cock.
The relief committee today called
upon William Richard, head OF the
local union of the federation to help
them in extending relief to families
stricken by the Christmas Eve disaster
when Y persons were killed.
Richard attended a meeting of the
committee and explained that the dis
inclination of union families to accept
aid was due TO the fact that so many
Of the relief committee members wore

he knew of no order from official
union scores forbfdding acceptance OF
relief from non-uni0u citizens.

Washington. Dec. 27.-At least two
of Washingtons social leaders have
declared their belief that President

reception in January. If he thinks the

ciaI leaders who have expressed their
belief in the presidents ability are Mrs
Duncan U. Fletcher, wife Of the Flor
ida senior senator, and Mrs. Claude A.

giuia-
There is much feeling among the
women of official Washington over the
question Until it is disposed of some
of the wives of senators do not know
whether to call on the wives of cabiset
members or to wait for them to call.
Mrs. Swanson has some views on the
social situation which she has express
ed as follows:
CAS- there has always been an order
of social precedence in making of first
calls in Washington, I am most careful
to observe it. as should ] make a first

ON CHARGE OF DIsPosiNG OF
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.

Charged with disposing of govern
ment property-Selling suit of wool

S1-Private A. E. Ratchford, a ma
rine stationed at the Pensacola navy
yard, was arrested about o'clock last
night by a lieutenant of marines and
taken to the police station, but was
later transferred to the Jail at the
navy yard. The lieutenant who ar
rested Ratchford was in charge of
the squad on duty at the police sta
ton in the night time for the pur-
pose of assisting the police in pre-
serving order among the large number
of marines who visit the city daily.
The lieutenant reported to Chief OF
Police Sanders that two other privates
OF the marine corps saw Ratchford
when he sold the suit of underwear
to LoEis Lindsey, a negro in the First
and Last Chance saloon on South Pal
afox street. The two men who wit
messed the sale accompanied officer
Bobe to the saloon and pointed out
Ratchford, who was sent to the police
station, a8d with him the officer also
brought Ed Gaumare, colored, who was
thought to be the man who bought
the suit, but this proved to be an err
ror and Gaumare was released from
custody.
While the lieutenant was question
ing Ratchford, Chief Sanders got busy
with the telephone and after a short
talk with the bar tender in the First
and Last Chance saloon, he instructed
two officers to go to that place and
arrest Louis Lindsey, who had the
suit with him when he arrived at
the station in charge of the officers.
Il would go to the guillotine before
I would lie about this matter" said
Private Ratchford to the lieutenant,
Ratchford was sober, and, looking
straight at the lieutenant, he tried to
convince him that he had not sold the
suit to the negro. but he did not sue
coed. He denied that he brought the
underwear to the city with him.
When Lindsey arrived with the un-
derwear in his hand, he told the lieu
tenant that Ratchford sold it to him
for 81, pointing the private out to
the officers.
Look at the name stamped on that
suit" said the lieutenant to Chief San
ders. Ratchfords name was on it.
"Turn over that dollar to me-" was
the command by the lieutenant to
Ratchford, who pulled the money
from his pocket and handed it to his
superior officer. The lieutenant gave
the dollar back to Lindsey, and
warned him not to buy any more
clothing from marines.
The lieutenant said that the usual
penalty imposed in such cases as
RatchforGs was a fine of three months
pay He also said that the case of
Ratchford's was an aggravated one, as
he had told a lie, Ratchford is a mem
