SENSATIONAL TURN TAKEN
IN HUNT FOR LOBBYISTS
FORMER GOVERNOR
BURNS DEBS ALIVE
Glasscock Issues a Singing
Reply TO Debs, the So
cialist Leader.
faN AnnncIArEn PRGna1

MoRGANToWN, June 4.-Ex-Gov-
ernor William E. Glasscock, who
twice declared martial law in the
Cabin and Paint creek districts, today
issued a singing reply to the report
filed in Chicago yesterday by Eugene
v. beds, Victor Berger and Adolph
Germer, Socialist committee, which
investigated the West Virginia strike
situation. In part Ex-Governor Glass
cock said:
ct have always believed and still
believe that if the Socialists had at
tended to their political affairs and
left the matters in dispute between
miners and operators to the settle
ment of mutual friends that this
trouble would never have assumed
the proportions it did, and 1 still be-
lieve that when it is settled 1t will be
by friends of the miners and not by
the Socialists, who are trying to make
political capital out of an unfortunate
affair. 'lgslfsa
81 think that anyone who will read
the report of the mining investigating
committee appointed by me will be
satisfied that was not too hasty in
my action in declaring martial law
and that delay in so doing would have
resulted in the loss of many lives and
great destruction of property.
1T is a matter of record that did
not permit persons sent TO prison to.
remain there long but as soon as or
der was restored 1 released them.
II take 1t for granted that the in
vestigating committee appointed by
the United States Senate will summon
me as a witness before it and shall
be glad to give the committee any
information may have in respect to
this unfortunate affair.
1T would be impossible in an in
terview of this kind to give detailed
information, which / shall be glad to-
do at proper time and before prop
er committee.
at is also well known to those who
are acquainted with all the facts that
the proclamation of martial law was
hailed with delight by the miners and
we Immediately sent out of the field
every Baldwin guard who had been on
duty there. Some were sent to the
penitentiary and some to Jail.
aThe original trouble between the
miners and operators was directed al
most wholly toward the Baldwin
guards that were employed by the
operators. Early in the trouble moth
ing was said about wages or mining
conditions except as such conditions

Dissuade Them from
Their Original Plan.

Miners Strike

i
WASHINGTON, June A.. Despite
suggestions from coal operators that
a visit OF the Senate committee invss-
tigating the coal strike conditions
might undo aIl9the work OF the state
authorities In suppressIng disorder.
the committee today determined to, adj
here to its original program to begin
hearings June 10 at Charleston w.
Va, at Q p. M. q. q. Watts ana g. T.
vinson. representing the operators,
suggested that an investigation In the
field might lead to renewed disorders
and even precipitate general strike,
In long statement to the committee
Watts inferred that possibly the al
legged conspiracy to assassinate Cow
ernor Hatfield discovered yests-aay
might have resulted from the aglta-
ton accompanying the efforts OF the
investigating committee.
Probable Outbreak.
eff you go down there now and
flood Charleston and the court house
grounds with the disconnected men all
of these terrible conditions may break
OUT again. Sehlu ne. \ DSS. you w SotttS'
slider carefully whether or not yoti
would not reproduce the troubles we
have had at least temorarily stopped.
Whether this proposed investigation
has had anything to do with this re-
Gently discovered attempt to assassi-
nate Governor Hatfield ] do. not know
but this committee ought to consider
that phase of the situation. = 5i.s
There IS feeling down there even
now" declared vinson, "that the gov
eminent Of the United States is going
to hold up the governor and the au-
thorities of the state and prevent them
from preserving law and order"
Much Feeling.
There ought to be no such feeling
Senator Borah told the two men en-
phatically.
There ought to be no idea that we
are going there TO paralyze the local
authorities in their efforts to preserve
the peace. This committee has no
power to punish anybody. All we can
do is to ascertain the facts and make
report"
I'VE have had great trouble, said
Watts, ''in subduing the riotous out
breaks so far. Up to the present the
troubles have been confined to about
$4,000 or 900 miners in the Paint
creek. and Cabin creek districts. We
fear that If another outbreak is in-
duced it Will involve all of the 10000
or 10000 miners in the state and par
aiyze the principal industry of the
state. If those discontented men get
the idea that you have come there to
review the actions of the court they
will think you have come to rescue
them" wa
witnesses Ready!
Chairman Borah and Senator Swan
son were not to be dissuaded but Sem
ator Shields was not insistent that
the committee go to Charleston. SEN
ator MARITIME suggested that the adj
vent of the committee would have
reassuring effect. Representatives of
the operators assured the committee
they could make trips to the various
mines involved by special trains
from Charleston in day or two. Rep
resentatives of the strikers expect to
have about 100 witnesses on hand at
Charleston for the hearings Tuesday,

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The lobby
hunt took on a new and sensational
turn today when the Senate began
issuing subpoenas for nearly sixty
men all of whom are said to be identi-
fed with the sugar interests. A flock
of sergeants at arms started out to-
day to summon the witnesses for next
week by which time the investigators
will have finished taking testimony
OF senators and plunge into an exam
ination OF the so-called lobbyists. 1t
is generally assumed here that Presi-
dent Wilson furnished the names of
those about to be subpoenaed.
Frank C. Lowry, known in legisla-
tive circles here as the free sugar man
and secretary OF the so-called whole
sale grocers' committee; Henry G..
oxnard, one of the big sugar men;
and Truman G. Palmer are among
those for whom summonses have been
issued.
Wilson's Answer.
This new turn of affairs many be-
lieve is one of the suggestions Presi-
dent Wilson made at his recent con-
ference with Chairman Overman and
Senators Reed of the investigating
committee and many of the presidents
friends predict it will be Mr. Wilson's
answer to the testimony of many SEN
ators that they have seen no lobby
lists in Washington and know of no
attempt to influence congressman
against the Underwood bill.
While the subpoenas are being
served and the committee Is preparing
for the examination of new witnesses,
senator's will continue to be exam
ined. When the committee reassem-
hled today it had nearly half of the
Senate waiting.
