Authorities Who Served Martial
Law in the West Virginia Strike
Severely Arraigned in Report.

Washington, Jan. A severe ar
raignment of the authorities who ad-
ministered martial law in West Vir-
ginia from September, 1912, to June,
1913, when the Cabin Creek and Paint
Creek coal mine strike troubles were
in progress is contained in a sub-com-
mittee report made public tonight by
Senator Borah, member of the Sem
ate committee that conducted an in
vestigation into all phases of the West
Virginia disturbances.
The report does not bear the formal
endorsement of the full Senate COM
mittee, but was given out as the
statement of fact" prepared by Sem
ator Borah as the member required to
prepare that section of the report
bearing on courtmartial trials and al
legged violations of law by military
courts. The complete report of the in
vestigating committee has not yet
been made.
Senator Borah's statement holds
that the military authorities acting
under the direction of the Governor
superseded all constitutional courts in
West Virginia, imposed sentences not
authorized by any standing laws. and

Cruz Afraid Of Rebels.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The ripple of
interest caused by the unexpected visit
to Pass Christian of John Lind. and
his three-hour conference at night
with President Wilson has died away
and the officials here have settled
down to another period of patient
waiting upon internal development in
Mexico. Any important change in the
relations between the United States
and Mexico, they believe, must follow
some action taken by the Mexican fac
tions.
1t has been hinted that during his
six-months stay in Mexico Mr.. Lind
has arrived at certain conclusions that
are not entirely reassuring as to the
ability of the Constitutionalist lead
ers to erect a stable and satisfactory
government in the event General
Huerta finally releases his hold upon
the reins of power.
1t is believed here that the confer
ence on board the cruiser Chester re-
lated in part to the conditions that
might arise in Mexico following the
end of the "crumbling'' process and
the elimination of Huerta. 1t is known
that state department officials have
been giving thought to the treatment
likely to be accorded the foreign cred
itors and other claimants against
Mexico by the victorious Constitution
alists, particularly in view of the proc

Weymouth, Mass, Jan. Airs. Eu-
gene C. Loud is dead and her nus
band. who is alleged to have cut her
throat at their home in South Wey-
mouth tonight, is believed to be dying
from a throat cash self-infiicted as
result of a family quarrel
The three young children of the eeu-
pie saw their mother struck down ana
their screams attracted the attention
of neighbors. They removed Mrs. Loud
TO a house across the street, where she
died within half an hour. Loud was
in too critical a condition to be re-
moved from his house.
The police say that the trouble IN
the family was of long standing and
had to do with the fact that Mrs. Loud
owned the house. A month ago she
had her husband arrested for assault
and his case was continued until
March q. In the meantime he was
placed under 500 bond to keep the
peace. Mrs. Loud left him to live with
her parents, but returned with the
three children a week ago Loud was
foreman in a shoe factory.

It seems a pity therefore, that the
copper country must sooner or later
face another struggle even If this one
results in a seemingly complete vic
tory for the mine owners.
That the outcome of the present
strike will not be settled without a
bitter fight was indicated by today's s
happenings. Company managers rest
ed on their plans for filling up work.
ing forces with nop-union men from
outside places. Union circles were
more active and meetings were held
in Hancock in the morning and in
Calumet in the afternoon.
The union men at Calumet assembled
in Italian hall, where the disastrous
panic occurred during a union cele-
bration Christmas Eve. Speakers told
the Calumet and Hancock strikers that
yesterdays failure to conclude peace
rested solely on the mine owners. The
strength of the entire labor movement
of the country was pledged to the cop
per countrymen and they were urged
to stand firm despite possible suffering
and privation. 1t was announced that
enough resources were in sight to keep
the strife going for at least another
year.

Houghton Mich, Jan. 4.-Negetia-
tions for the settlement of the cop
per miners strike having failed, both
sides to the controversy tonight began
to lay plans for meeting prolonga-
tion of the struggle.
Coy. Ferris tonight decided to make
a personal inspection of the conditions
prevailing in the copper region, while
john B. Densmore solicitor for the
department of labor, started to Wash
ington, regretting his failure to bring
about settlement.
Great interest was aroused in the up
pcI peninsula tonight, by the announce
ment that the Governor was coming to
taken a hand in the situation at close
quarters. He has resented suggestions
of federal action "in affairs that con-
cern the state only" according to his
statements. 1t is believed that he will
gather data in the strike field on which
he may base any further action he may
taken to help end the contest between
the mine owners and their former en-
ploycs.
Copper mine owners of northern
Michigan made a mistake in refusing
peace plans preferred by the Western
Federation of Miners, was the judg-
ment pronounced by John B. Densmore,
solicitor for the department of labor,
a few hours before his departure for
Washington tonight. For the first time
since his arrival in the district, Mr..
Densmore broke silence as to the con-
Gitions he found here
"A generation ago the anthracite
mine operators of Pennsylvania adopt
ed precisely the attitude taken by the
copper mine managers" he said. Sim
liar stands have marked the action of
employing interests in the initial
strikes of practically every big indus
try.
THE idea seemed to be that by win
ming the first strike the employer
crushed the union. I think | can safe
ly say that this course has failed.
Unionism becomes an ideal among its
devotees. The seeming inability of a
union to realize when it is beaten is
simply a manifestation of this indivd-
ual thought working among a number
of men, Almost invariably they have
come back for another struggle.

Mystery Of Fate Of Jessie
Mccain Is Solved.
Body Washed Ashore SundayIn
Heavy Surf at COney Island.
Identified by Signet Rlng..No Clue
To the Cause of Her Death.

New York, Jan. 4.-The body of Miss
Jessie E. Mccain, the young settle
ment worker, who disappeared from
her Brooklyn home just month ago,
was today given up by the sea. 1t was
found by a watchman shortly after
daybreak this morning at Coney is
land, having been washed ashore by
the heavy surf that pounded the beach
during last nights storm.
Miss Mccain was last seen by her
family when she left her home, Dec. 4,
supposedly to attend the settlement
work duties. A few days later her
father, a well-to-do business man,
notified the police of her disappear
ance and offered a reward of $1,000 for
information as to her whereabouts.
Numerous reports of Miss Mccain
having been seen came from all parts
of the country, but investigation in
each case proved them to be erroneous.
The police today gave credence to the
story of a woman, who asserted that
she saw Miss McCann the day after
her disappearance, near a bathing pa
vilion at Coney island, where the body
was found today.
The body showed no signs of vio-
lence, according to persons who exam
ined it and the police no clue as to the
manner in which she was drowned

that they would have failed to per-

imprisoned for offence alleged to have
been committed by them.
THAT these parties were arrested
upon orders issued by the military

state; and were placed on their trial
without the finding of any indictment
by the grand jury, before a court

these parties were in the nature of
