30 HURT DURING THE DAY

Calumet. Mich. July 2-The copper
country is practically under martial law
tonight. Following a day Of rioting when
thirty persons had been injured, one
probably fatally, Gov. Ferris ordered an
entire brigade of the Michigan National
Guard dispatched to Upper Michigan
Companies from Menominee, Sault Ste
Marie. and Houghton arrived tonight.
Gov. Ferris and staff, with other troops,
will arrive tomorrow.
Quiet prevailed tonight according to
reports from various parts of the dis
trict. The strikers contented themselves
with marching from shaft to shaft of the
Calumet and Hecla mines to see that no
men were sent under ground. Eighteen
thousand underground men are now idle
in the counties Of Houghton. Ontonagon.
and Keweenew, while 5000 surface, mill.
and smelter men are idle in Houghton
County alone.
The brigade which tonight is being
rushed to the copper country consists of
the First, Second, and Third regiments.
Engineer Corps. of Calumet: Signal
Corps, Hospital Corps. two batteries Of
artillery, and troop Of cavalry.

They declare the men are striking for

"COId Blur" He Says.

Characterizing the indictment Of David
Lamar as a cold blur and a species of
persecution, Henry E. Davis. his attor-
ney. last night declared the New York
authorities were being used as tools by
the interests that are engaged In the
downing of the impersonator OF Con-
gressmen.
II understand that Mr.. Lamar was in
dicted about a week ago. said Mr..
Davis. II was requested by United States
Attorney Clarence R. Wilson to have Mr..
Lamar before United States Commission
er Arson s. Taylor On Wednesday, but
on the morning of thAt day I was noti-
fled that plans had been changed. and
that it would not be necessary to appear.
'I do not believe that Mr.. Lamar will
be arrested. This whole indictment Is a
cold bluh-a bit of gallery play. They
don't want to arrest him: IL they did they
would have done 1t long ago. 1t is part
OF the plan of those trying to down him
to hold the stigma Of an indictment above
his head as long as POSSIBLE.
Mr.. Lamar is ready to give himself
up at any moment. In fact. he Is long
ing to be srrested-the suspense Is worry
ing him, and he Is losing flesh. 1t Is my
opinion that he never will be ARRESTED.
There are no grounds at all for the IN
dictment He is charged with imperson-
ating a Federal officer. and II Is clear
that Congressmen are not Federal ON
GERS. The case would be laughed out Of
the courts-it Is positively absurd. 1t IL
my belief that the authorities OF New
York, although perhaps unwittingly. are
being used by the interests that are now
pushing Lamar The secrecy that SO far
has yelled the Indictment Is one indica-
ton Of the baselessness of the case and
the worthlessness of the charges
No Fear Of Arrest.
There is no truth in the rumor that
Mr.. Lamar will go to New York within
the next few days. He Is here on busi-
ness, and that business demands that
he remain in Washington. He has abb
solutely no fears of arrest. and will not
attempt to dodge the authorities. Should
he be arrested, my first step would be 10
file a writ of habeas corpus. The case
would go over until fall. and then would
doubtlessly be dismissed as a huge farce.
MIR. Lamar was still in Washington at
an early hour this morning. and APP
parently had no intention of leaving for
New York TO give himself up under the
indictment that has been handed down
against him. Mr. Lamar himself de-
clined to say anything for publication.
The belief here is that Lamar is staying
in Washington in order TO jockey for an
advantage. The Federal authorities will
not serve the warrant on him In the
District of Columbia because Lamar could
then compel them to institute extradition
proceedings. This would mean long de-
lay and a testing of many points of law.
all of which might furnish loop holes foc
Lamar's escape.
United States District Attorney Mar
shall apparently does not desire to adj
this weight to the doubt that prevails
in some quarters as to the applicability
Of the United States statutes to the
Lamar case.

MAI. RAY ASKS INJUNCTION.
Says Seniority Rule Has Always
Prevailed in Promotions.

Maj. Beecher B. Ray. L. s. A., yester-
day applied to the District Supreme
Court for an injunction to prevent the
Secretary of War or the Assistant Secre-
tary of War sending to the President for
certification the name of any officer but
himself for promotion to deputy paymas-
ter general, with the rank Of lieutenant
colonel.
President Taft named Mai. Ray dep
uty paymaster general, and sent his
name to the Senate for confirmation. A
favorable report was made by the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs, but Con-
gress adjourned without approving the
report.
Secretary Garrison. after a ruling by
the Attorney General that 1t was not
necessary to name Maj. Ray merely be-
cause he was the senior officer. refused
to send his name to the President. 1t Is
commended by Mai. Ray that the seniority
rule always has been followed in past
administrations.

teen persons missing. but in the absence
of an accurate list of those employed in
the building at the timet Of the fire. 1t
is believed that some of the missing may
have ESCAPED and taken refuge with
friends. Twenty-nine bodies have been
recovered from the ruins, but only five
of these have been positively identified.
1t is now planned to hold a general
funeral o. the unidentified victims. all

relief of the families who have been left
destitute as a result of the catastrophe.
As a result of the disclosures following
Tuesdays horror, thirteen buildings were
ordered closed today by the State Fire
Marshal until the fire laws have been
complied with.
Fire Laws DeGrd.
facts which show criminal negligence
either upon the part of the owners Of the
building or the State Factory Inspectors.
First-The factory was operated in alb
solute defiance of the law. II had but
one continuous exit from the fourth
floor. The law requires that there must
be at least two.
Second-There were no real solid
treads upon the fire escape. In place of
steps, two iron rods five eighths of an
inch in thickness three or four inches
apart constituted the step through which
the women had to seek safety in descent.
Third-If inspectors examined the build
ing and passed the fire escapes as ade-
quate their action was criminal.
First Deputy Marshal Roesch, who
is here with other State officials. de-
clared today that the factory was a
death trap.
Cause Not Determined.
Mr.. Whiskeman who made an investi-
cation of the triangle fire for District
Attorney Whitman. declared tonight that
there was more criminal carelessness in
the fire here than at the Triangle blaze.
His investigation today revealed the
fact that a stairway running through
the company's building had been re-
moved to make room for more manu-
featuring area.
1T is another case OF dollars and
cents being placed above human life"
was his remark.
At the inquest today 1t was definitely
stated by Ambrose Fuller, the shipping
clerk. that he discovered the fire on a
wooden ledge in the stairway between
the first and second floors where ~"
of robe cloth, or plush, and old books
were stored. The cause of the fire was
not fixed.

Correspondence.
State Highway Route.

BAR HARBoR, Dec. y, 1913.
To the Editor Of the American:
The people of Ellsworth and Trenton
are becoming more firmly convinced every
day that the proposed new State highway
now laid out from Ellsworth to Bar Har-
Dor by the way OF the Jordan's river road
ought to follow the Bayside drive~sa Oak
Point to the toli-bridge, for great many
reasons, among which the following are
perhaps the most apparent:
Whenever money has been appropriated
by either state or nation, il has always
been the custom to expend the same in
such a manner as to do the greatest good
TO the greatest number OF people, and fol-
lowing this Congratulated, principle, ii
must be patent to even casual observers
that by building this road over the Bay
side drive morethan twice the number OF
people would be accommodated than
would be il built over the Jordan's river
road, as now lsid out.
As the Bsyside drive is already coming
into line as q summer resort, unquestion-
ably good road built along the side of
Union river and bay from Ellsworth to
Oak Point and the toll bridge would be
strong factor in inducing others seeking
summer homes TO buy and build along
this already attractive water front, there
| by assisting in promoting the Maine sea-
coast summer resort business, which is
our greatest, and by far our most inn
portsnt industry to-day.
| While there may be some opposition to
building the road over this route on ac-
1 count OF Rn increased distance OF about
three and one halt miles, there Is no doubt
bat that the additional distance Is more
( than overcome by the fact that there il an
| abundance of material OF every necessary
/ kind and quality all along the route, not
only to construct the road, but to keep il
| in repair after Ii Is built, while on the
| other hand, following the Jordsnis river
road. there is no material whatever on the
ground, and the expense of csrting Ii
| would certainly be such large cash item
that the actual cost OF the road when com
pleted would be greater than the cost OF
same over the Bayside route, let alone the
cost of future repairs.
Another strong feature in favor of
is that il will not only be a local benefit,
the already long list in Hancock county,
which has brought 30 many summer So
journers to us, and this is onH of the
reasons why SO many are signing the
petitions now being circulated, and which
will, it is to be hoped, bring about the
much desired results. A VOTER.
