ALEXANDRIA,. Va. January II. 1918
a battle between officers of Fairfax
county, students of the Episcopal Theo-
logical Seminary and burglars who had
entered the general merchandise store of
Mr.. Terett. near the seminary, three
miles west of Alexandria. Fairfax county,
took place at o'clock this morning.
Six members of the Alexandria police
department. headed by Chief Goods.
Mayor Thomas a. Fisher and Corporation
Attorney S. p. Fisher. arrived just too
late to get in the scrimmage.
Fifty shots were fired at the robbers
while they We're in the store. and they.
armed to the teeth. returned the fire amid
the greatest excitement, making their es-
cape without being struck. The windows
and doors of the little store, a small
frame structure, were riddled with bull
let's
Consta bic Cleveland received report
that robbers were in the store. The
opinion prevailed that the men were
yeggmen and he quickly repaired to the
place and made a hasty examination. He
could readily see the forms of mon in the
place, working with a burglars lantern
The stout iron bars on the rear window
of the store had been pried off by the
robbers in order to effect an entrance.
Realizing that 1t would be impossible to
cope with the burglars alone, Mr.. Cleve-
land at once summoned Justice of the
Peace George c. Stuart. and the latter
deputized a number of students a the
Theological Seminary. All got out of
their warm beds and, heavily armed, pro-

Charges Unlawful Occupancy.

In a letter to the District heads Attor-
ney Paladini stated he had been unable
to find any law giving the . street mar
ket or private individuals the right to
use the property surrounding the market
and requested that the police depa rtment
be informed of this alleged violation of
the law.
The produce dealers. who occupy
stands on the inside of said market have
discovered that great number of pro-
duce dealers occupying public space ad-
jacent to the market are not legitimate
farmers who produce their own products.
but purchase all their products from COM
mission merchants and then offer them
for sale to the public as products grown
on their own farms" Mr.. Paladini
stated.

END REBELLION IN
SOUTHERN CHINA
RevoIutionists' Declaration of
independence Abrogated and
Canton Rejoices.

HONG KONG, Aug. 4.-The South
ern Chinese rebellion has been prac-
tically suppressed and the declara-
tion of independence of the revolu-
tionary provinces abrogated. In Can
ton the populace today is celebrating
the ending of the uprising with pub
, lie rejoicings and the explosions OF
firecraekers.
1t is said General Lung Chi-Kuang
the victorious commander of the gov
ernment troops from Kwang-Si, has
been appointed governor general of
the province of Kwang-Tuang.
The rebel governor Chang, of
Kwang-Tung, who said at the be-
ginning of the revolutionary move
ment that he disapproved of the in
dependent policy of the Southern
States, Is expected in Hong Kong to-
night. He shot his two military ad-
visors. Chan Chung Ying and Wang
Suit-Sun, and an army officer as he
suspected them of intrigue.
The artillerymen of Canton killed
their Northumberland and then
marched to the governors offices,
where they looted the treasury. One
of the shells fired by the artillermen
fell in the projects offices and killed
II persons.
Fighting continues along the West
river, where the rebels have captured

FIVE ESCAPE DEATH AS,
AUTO is OVERTURNED
Especial to the Newark star.l

RED BANK. N. j., Aug. Alive
persons narrowly escaped death yes
terday afternoon while passing
through this town in an automobile
They were on their way from Asbury
Park to Brooklyn. Thousands of
automobiles pass through this place
on Sundays, and practically all
travel the same route. At Riverside
and Prospect avenues there is
dangerous curve, and there have
been many accidents there in the
past. It was at this corner that yes
terday's accident occurred. In try
ing to avoid two autos coming in the
opposite direction the chauffeur
turned too close to the curb. The
machine struck the curb and turned
over, burying one of the occupants
under it and throwing the other four
heavily to the roadway.
Davis Garfinkle, a clothing manu-
facturer, who lives at S775 Twenty
third avenue, Brooklyn, was thrown
under the auto, and had a very close
call from death. When the machine
was finally raised off his body he
was unconscious. He was found to
have sustained a fracture of the hip
and an injury to the right leg, and
also possible internal injuries. His
son Harold was cut about the face
and arm, and Joseph Jones. a cousin,
was injured on the right leg. Both
Mrs. Garfinkle and the chauffeur,
although bruised and shaken up,
were not seriously injured.

MINE STRIKERS AND

AN ALL-NIGHT DUEL
Guns Kept Popping from Nghtfa Until DawnMItary Head
Denounces Conduct of Deputies Outrageous-State
Federation Head Says Strike Will Become Nation-Wide

CALUMET, Mich, Aug. 4.-Practi-
cally the entire strike zone in the
copper country echoed to rifle and re-
yolver shots this morning.
There were more than the usual
number of shadow shots" by sentries
and an increased patrol force of
armed deputies was blamed by troop
commanders and union officials alike
for an almost constant popping of
revolvers that lasted from shortly
after midnight until daylight.
Despite the promiscuous firing no
one was hit, the rumor of last night
that a man had been shot near Red
Jacket proving false. In fact, Cap
tain Blackman, of Jackson, in COM
mand of the guard at that shaft, de-
MED that his men had fired at all.
The work of the deputies is an
outrage" said Claude o. Taylor.
president of the Michigan State Fed
Grafton of Labor. 1T is inconceivable
that a great State should allow its
National Guard to be used as a cur
tain behind which armed thugs, au-

Mr.. Taylor said that his organiza-
ton, the American Federation of
Labor, and every affiliated union in
the country was behind the copper

MULHALL CASE
SAID PRE-JUDGED
Former Congressman Watson
to Look Elsewhere for JUS
tice, He Says.

| WASHINGTON, Aug 4.-Charges
that the Democrats of the Senate
lobby committee have prejudged the
P, case made out by Martin M. Mulhall
against the National Association OF
Manufacturers. without hearing the
other side, were made today by for
mer Representative James e. wat
son of Indiana, who referred IN a
letter. to the committee to published
Statements by Chairman Oyerman
and Senators Reed and Walsh. He
declined to appear before the COM
mittee, saying that it would be use
less.
Il much prefer he said, Ito take
my case to another court.
Robert McCarter, attorney for the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers. faced the committee with a
vigorous objection to the same state
mentS.
Chairman Overman and Senator
Reed declared there was nothing in
the interviews which could be taken
as indicating that they had pre-
judged the case.
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, was
the first witness today. He fatty de-
MED Mulhall's testimony that he had
talked with him and characterized
Mulhall as lf-acknowledged cor
ruptionist'
Emery and Mulhall, when Townsend
was a member of the House. came to-
gether to his office and Mulhall made
an argument about labor legislation.
when he paused l asked him if he
was through and when he said Yes /
said, Well, this is my busy day, you'll
have to excuse me-. Therefore, 1t is
an unqualified falsehood when he says
he talked with me confidentially."
The senator went through the rec
ord and picking out letters in which
his name appeared, denied in detail
Mulhalls testimony that he had con-
ferred with him.
This man was personally offensive
to me-" said the senator in conclusion,
"therefore / could not fail to remem-
Der if he had talked to me confiden-
MulhalI took the stand to identify
a, $500 check he said he drew April T.
1909. to be turned over to H. A. Miles,
of Racine, Wis, for retainer for
former Congressman James II. wat,
son. when the manufacturers wanted
Watson to work for a tariff commits
sion bill.
Chairman Overman announced that
former Senator Foraker would be
heard tomorrow.
Mulhall produced letter from Sec
retary w. B. Wilson. written in De-
cember, 1909, while chairman of the
House labor committee, declining an
offer of the Mulhall correspondence.
In it Wilson spoke of MulhalPs de-
mand that "he be protected for
year" which he interpreted as re-
quest for a job. Wilson declined the
offer with thanks.
When the House committee begins
its hearings tomorrow, Louis Sic
bold, of the New York World, will
be first witness to lay the founda-
ton for the examination of Mulhall,
which will follow Immediately. The
time that Colonel Mulhall is on the
stand will be devoted largely to cross
examination, the committee decided
today.
