his clan OF 20 men are In hiding, be-
lieve the fugitives will be forced to ur-
render today, Snow fell In the noun

SEVERAL cLEWs TO MAN WHO

Calumet, Mich, Dec. s0.--with most
OF its dead buried, Calumet today

quest of the Christmas eve panic which
cost the lives Of ~ persona. and to the
Houghton county grand jury investiga-
.tion OF the forcible election from the
copper country OF Charles II. Meyer.
president Of the Western Federation Of
Miners.
The coroner's inquest began here to-
day and the grand jury investigation Is
expected to begin tomorrow at Han
cock. where Meyer was assaulted and
put aboard a Chicago-b bound train.
John r.. Densmore, a solicitor for the
department OF labor, is expected here
today TO make an investigation for the
government of the strike OF the copper
miners. Before reaching here he win
consult with Governor Ferris. ut Big

night was continued by strike leaders

false alarm OF fire, thereby scausing the
panic at the Christmas tree celebration
for the children OF striking miners, is
still uncaught. Union mon intimated,
however, that they have a clew to his
identity and that an arrest may be
made soon y
The extent Of the action OF Solicitor
.Dsnsmore probably will be partially
determined at his conference with
Governor Ferris. 1t Is known that
Secretary Wilson, Of the labor depart
tpent. will not take further action un-
til he receives a comprehensive report.
Several witnesses who expected To. tes-

CALLED TO CANADA BY
DEATH OF SISTER.

Grace Chenewerth, former student of
the 0. G. W., but later teacher OF the
rural districts near Chickasha, left
yesterday for Moose Jaw, Canada,
where she was called by telegram
announcing the death Of her sister,
Miss Roxie Chenowerth. The informa-
tion conveyed in the telegram was "a
ceedingly meagre and 1t was Miss
Chenowerth's belief her sister had
been the victim of an accident. To
substantiate this belief, when she ar
rived at her home in this city after
having received the telegram, she
found letter from her sister waiting
for her. 1t was written last Saturday
and stated particularly that she was Ell
joying the best of health. Miss Roxie
Chenowerth is known to number of
Chickasha people.

Mexicans Have Deep
Hatred for Americans

A miner in Guanajuato, who has just
returned from Washington, where he
endeayored TO persuade President
Wilson that Intervention in Mexico
was necessary, said to me:
i've had to kill Indian workmen
who wouldn't obey me- There's uc
possible way to get along with Mex
lean and treat him kindly. You have
to beat them like dogs. Any time one
Of my workmen is suspected Of steal
ing ore. he is brought to me and /
start right at him with my fists. !
knock him as near senseless as l can
and then make him confess"
Another American boasted to me;
Il had a strike in my mines one time,
in the Diaz days. and asked the gov
ernor of the state, who was on my
pay roll, to send me some soldiers.
Instead of that he sent me lot of uni
forms and rifles and ammunition and
a commission as major in the Mexi-
can army. He told me to organize an
army OF my own, and give it all the
orders | pleased. told some OF the
strikers they'd have to join the army.
| put them in uniform, gave them
rifles and bullets and took them to the
mine. ordered them to shoot against
the strikers and they did. They killed
30 of their brothers and that ended
the strike"
Perhaps, II an "Uncle Toms Cabin
had been written years ago of Mexi-
can slavery by Americans, the pres
ent revolution might have been avoid
ed. The death rate of Americans in
the present revolution is undoubtedly
due, in a large measure, to- grudges
of years standing and to bitter recol-
lections of cruelty and injustice in the
minds of Mexican workmen. The
more one looks into the matter the
more one Is convinced that the Bel
gians in the Congo were not more
cruel than many Americans have been
in Mexico.
