HATFIELD DEF|ES
SENATORS ORDER
Governor Refuses to Show Rec
ords of Military Commission.
GIVES REAs0Es FOR ACTION
West Virginia Executive Asserts Indict-
nents Are to Be Sought-Sees
Menace to Public Peace-mar-
tiaI Law Raised.

Charleston, W. Va, June 14.-Reo
ords of the trials before the military
committee which had charge of the
strike section Of the state during the
trouble last spring which the senate
investigating committee demand were
refused by Governor Hatfield Thurs.
day, he declining to submit the data
to the inquisitors.
In a letter to the committee the gov
ernor said that the findings Of the
committee in these cases had never
been approved, the men had been re
leased. and he desired to keep the rec
ords for use in seeking indictments
public at this time he said would be
'prejudicial to the public peace"
Among the little miners cabins in
the hooks of the West Virginia noun
tains, the United States senate sub
committee sought the truth about the
strike which has disrupted the state
for more than year. A special train
carrying the senators visited the min
ing camps in Paint Creek and Cabin
Creek.
Governor Hatfeld's letter was pre-
sented to the committee by the clerk
of the committee.
My attention has been called by
the adjutant general" said the letter,
to a subpoena demanding military
records and commission reports.
with n tho ct1iRn 7 W
indicted into Office March 4, and as
to conditions prior to that time have
knowledge only through the newspa-
pers. Under my predecessor military
law was established in the strike dis
trict three times. A commission was
in existence when l came into office,
and about eighty prisoners were in the
Jail. l wanted peace and harmony, as
the situation seemed threatening"
The governor then referred to his
intention to bring the cases in the
civil courts
The committee will probably coin
eide with the views of the governor
and make no further efforts to get the
records Of these trials.
Governor Hatfield last night issued
a proclamation raising martial law in
the strike district.
I'VE had the right to sentence an Of
fender to DEATH said Judge Advocate
Gen. G. S. Wallace before the senate
committee, under whatever law the
commander-in-chief of the forces of
the state prescribed. My contention
is that in the theater of war the com
mander-in-chief of the forces makes
the law. The governor, when he de-
clared martial law, recognized that
the constitution had been suspended
on Paint and Cabin creeks, and be
sent US there to restore it. We eXer-
cised war powers, that is all"

Milwaukee.-The Merchants & Man

fled that the reduction in express rates
will not go into effect until July Is,
instead of June 10.

ed, required more time to change

all parts of the state. The commits
sion satisfied itself on this point and
granted the extension of time The
new order will necessitate the com

association on Dec. 20, 1909, against
all express companies operating in
the state was rendered on May 20,
1913, by the railroad commission.
