7 TRAGEDY in BINGHAM

degree. viii be issued by the county at
torney's office today. The men are al
legged to have shot Harry Spinbon, Z
miner, in Bingham on October %. In
flicting wounds from which he died about
nine days later. The complaints We're
drawn yesterday, but were not issued be-
cause the complaining witness failed TO
arrive before the office closed. All OF the
men are in the county Jail
The charge is the result Of the recent
strike in the Bingham mines. Spiupon
was a miner employed in the United
States mine and had not gone out with
the strikers. Wnen ne and others We're
going TO work, guarded by a number of
deputy shcrins, they were fired upon by

Conspiracy Charged.

They are charged With conspiracy and
as accessories before the fact in the
death OF Fred Bobbett. one OF the vic
tins OF a recent riot near Mucklow. w.
V. Boswell was arrested and taken to
Paint Creek Junction for trial before the
military commission. Search Is being
made for the others.
An important development today was
the raidlng OF the mine OF Holley Grove,
on Paint Creek. and the arrest OF sixty
n!no men. Under military escort the
mon were rushed to Paint Creek juno
ton for trial before the military au-
thorities, charged with participation In
rioting. Holley Grove has been the CEN
ter OF tho mine trouble since the incep-
ton OF the mine strike last April Tho
action OF the militia caught the men of
Holley Grove by surprise and there was
little chance for violence. With the
Wholesale arrests today the military
court has upwards OF $50 cases to be con-
sdered

turn OF the artillery wrecked the stee-
pie of the Church of San Diego and
riddled the cable office.
The operators stood by their keys,
as busy firing the shots heard round
the world" as the fedcrals and rebels
were busy raining shrapnel and small
arm bullets upon the building. The
telegraph operators are the heroes OF
the unheroic situation, The help that
all believe will come from the United
States soou will be the result OF their
daring and iucessant work.
AS the morning thundered on there
began to come shot from cornices OF
the buildings IN the district that en-
braces, say mile of territory sur
rounding the palace, This was the work
of Zapata s followers, who had skulked
in during the night. They are sharp
shooters all and they barried the bat
teries Of the government until several
positions had TO be shifted.
1t is evident that appeals for peace
are useless. De la Barra, former pro-
visional president, tried again today
to influence Madero to yield. He was
curtly. threateningly rebuffcd.

Twenty-six Killed.

Although wire service from the troubled
zone WAS partially established today,
only meager details or the fierce riots in
the strike district several days ago have
been received here. The military has
taken possession OF the wires for official
business. Scouting details sent into tho
mountains with view OF ascertaining
definite figures of casualties growing out
of recent riots are not ready 10 make
their reports. Whether moro than six
teen persons, as trst reported, were killed
cannot be stated. Mr. Bobbett mine

later brought TO Salt Lake and taken 70

fired the shots fed in tho direction OF
Tooele. out are supposed to have re-
turned to Bingham later.
Salonikis and Ieventis were arrested in
December last In company with n.
Strongylis for holding up flve Japanese
aborers on the Bingham & Garfield rail-
road near Barney station The Japanese
later positively identified them, At about

Americans Expect Aid.

The Americans here are confident OF
aid from home. They approve the bat
tleship programme, but what is needed
is the immediate advance of marines
from the coast. Nothing IN the world
can cow tho Mexican mind like the
swing of even little troop of blue
coats through the streets of city.
Taft has not been quickly condemned
for hesitation. But citizens of Ger
many and England, of France and
Spain arc asking in plain talk;
"What in God 8 name is be waiting
for? All the navies in the world can
do no good in the City of Mexico.
What is needed is soldiery and it is
needed now Every hour s delay in
the growing fermentation OF race an
tagonism means increased peril to
americans The feeling of the citi-
zens of the other countries is that the
United States, lying nearest to the
zone of trouble, should protect the peo-
pie of the civilized powers in coun'
try that can hardly be called civil
ized.'
About seven hundred women and
children OF American families have
been sheltered in the American embas-
sy and buildings near it. but this is

Embassador Wilson is the center of
diplomatic activity, and is also the pro-
tector of hundreds of refugees who are
now sheltered IN the embassy. This
building is supposed to be the center
of the neutral zone which has been re-
spected with some care by the ad-
versaries, but several persons who
tried TO Cross the nearby streets in an
effort TO reach the embassy were killed

HCivilized warfare has been made

Barrett's Letter.

In his letter outlining the plan, Mr..
Barrett gays that "it involves media
tion rather than intervention, inter.
natiopaI American cooperation rather
than individual United States action,
and practical application of the Pan
American rather than of the Monroe
doctrine
The commission, be suggests, should
investigate the situation In Mexico on
the ground, and "make recommends.

the situation, in favor Of permanent
peace aud stability
Through Embassador Wilson, in
Mexico City, the plan would be repre-
sented to the Mexican government and
to the revolutionary leaders, who would
be urged to cease hostilities pending
the action and report of the commits
sion: and it should be made known To
the Mexican government and people
that they would be expected with this
moral support and interest OF all
America, TO carry out the conclusions

More Troops Called Out.

Four additional companies of militia

Six companies are now In the field.
The legislature took today action for
the payment OF expenses incurred during

senate concurred in n house bill appro-
prIating over S244, 900. Under West Vir-
ein{a law, no money can be paid out OF
tho state treasury except by legislative

Would Prove Good Faith.

''If Latip-America and Mexico fail
TO act on this suggestion" says Mr..
Barrett, "they will be obliged TO
admit that the United States first
has tried to proceed on the fairest lines
possible and with every effort TO CON
vince Latin America and Mexico Of its
good faith and intentions"
"Above all things he adds, "it
will bring for the moment immediate
peace to Mexico, the actual protection

permanent peace, stability aud pros

people, without striking n blow at

denco to all America that the United

Mr.. Barrett expresses the opinion
that this government would find the
Latin American governments IN sym

Bryan would be satisfactory in Mexico

the streets to buy supplies. Even the
night had not been safe. There was
scattering fire from the fall of dark
ness until dawn,
The fighting seemingly had wideped.
Diaz supporters are coming in from the
outskirts OF the city and have placed
guns on roofs in the suburbs. There
is not n safe place of refuge within
the city limits. The American en-
bassy, which is shcltering hundreds OF
the foreign population, is not free from
danger.
There is report that Madero is
ready to flee the capital, but there is
no sign Of his intention to surrender.
The rebels showed every evidence of
confidence. or perhaps it was des-
pcration. At 10 o'clock when blaze
of fire came from the Alameda the re-.
