From Attacking Mayor at
Session of Wisconsin
Vice Commission.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. 10.-Inter-
ference by spectators prevented a fist
fight at the hearing this afternoon of
the vice commission, investigating the
white slave traffic here. While a
curious crowd waited outside the coun-
Gil chamber for the end of the session
Mayor Konkel, OF Superior, accused
Rev. Harry Milford, former resident

witnesses to Swear to a pack Of lies
for the purpose OF discrediting the ad-
Milford who is militant church
man, was forcibly restrained from at
tacking Mayor Konkel, who, it is said,
was severely reprimanded at Fridays
session.
Today's testimony brought out the
fact that while each of the fifteen dis
orderly resorts in Superior pay the
city $53 every three months under the
so-called license" system, but each re-
sort keeper testified she had been re-
quired to pay no protection money
aside from the quarterly fine" This
was made public tonight by eelairman
Howard Teasdale.
Teasdale said the keepers testified
that each of one hundred and fifty
scarlet women" of Superior was earn
ing from thirty to forty dollars a
week, half Of which went to the re-
sort.
Ostracism following missteps early
in life was the princnpal reason given
at adoption Of this life. Faulty home

Temporary Injunction Against
Attorney General of Mis-
souri, in Railway
Cases.
NEW HAVEN TO BE GOOD
Agrees to Release it's Grip on
New England if Fed
eral Suit is
Avoided.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 10-Federal
Judge Smith Mcpherson this after
noon temporarily enjoined Attorney
General Barker of Missouri from
further action in suits by the state
against thirteen railroads for $4,000,
900 paid them in excess passenger and
freight rates since the two cent pas
senger and maximum freight rate
bills became state laws and during
most of which time the railroads by
Injunction and carrying cases to the
supreme court have prevented the en-
forcement of the law. The Judge said
this order would probably stand for
three weeks, at. the end of which
time he will decide whether he will
retain jurisdiction of the refund claims
estimated at from s150O0,0o0 to $780,
cOO,O0O.
Six months ago the supreme court
decided that the railroads must
comply with the Missouri rate laws
and this decision was sent to Judge
Mcpherson. Meanwhile the railroads
were charging the old rates. On De-
cember 20, 1913, when Judge McPher.
son was about to enter the decree OF
! the supreme court. making these laws
effective, Frank Hagerman, attorney
| for the railroads, made motion ask
i ing Judge Mcpherson to retain juris-
diction of the cases; to limit the
liability of each railroad to the
amount of the rebates that passengers
and shippers could claim to 100000
the amount of the bond put up by
ltion was first asked nearly seven
years ago. Judge Mcpherson said he
would rule on this motion The mex,
step was taken by Attorney General
Barker who fled suits against thir
teen railroads for s24,000,000 which
they had collected in excess rates
These suits were filed in the state
courts and the injunction granted to-
day will prevent their prosecution
temporarily
Arguing on Attorney Hagerman's
motion today, the railroad lawyers
contended that the court owed it tc
| them to protect the railroads from
ruin by a huge number of suits ant
that it would not be fair for the court
| to dismiss the cases, without preju
dice and leave them open to suits ir
the state courts. John Kennish, mem
ber of the state public utilities com
mission hotly contended that tht
hands of the state should no Longer
be tied, that the railroads took The
wrong stand, and could avoid all the
suits by paying back what they owe

to the people from whom they have
stolen the money for years by virtue
of their injunction preventing the en-
forcement of the law"
The real sensation of the days pro-
ceedings came when Attorney General
Barker, arguing on the Hagerman mo-
ton expressed disgust in open court
with the failure of Judge Mcpherson
to carry out the order of the suprems
ter up with Washington
"If you don't issue the decree as
the higher court ordered, / will see
II that court will not make you," said
Barker to Judge Mcpherson.
Sneers characterized farker's re-
marks. He intimated that the rail.
roads flee to the protection of the
federal courts in times of trouble.
Judge Mcpherson did not apparently
lose his temper when Barker said.
The supreme court mandate that
you put the Missouri rates into effect
left nothing else for you to do. In
one breath you dismissed this case
without prejudice and in the next re.
tanned jurisdiction. Yet in your am
nouncement you said you could not
do anything but dismiss the case and
| you could not retain jurisdiction. Your
honor cannot police this state to pro.
tect the railroads. If they are hurt.
you can't help them. You tied the
attorney generals hands and let the
railroads take s2O,000000 from 3,40O,-
i 600 good persons of this state. am
tired Of mandamusing railroads. Now
let them mandamus awhile. You have
had since June to enter the decres
putting into effect the supreme court
decision. I'll not discuss these little
points any more. All | want is for
you to declare the Missouri rates in
4 effect without prejudice"
Judge Mcpherson said he merely
retained jurisdiction to determine
whether there might be something he
had overlooked that might change
the case.
{, The only thing that has come up
y that already did not exist was my
string of suits against the railroads
for refunds" said Barker You don't
mean that would cause you to change
your mind, do you?"
J Barker's insinuation and bitter
tone were overlooked by Judge Nc
Pherson.
What right has this court to de-
; eide upon distribution of claims, when
| the state winner of the suits before
the supreme court does not wish it,"
asked Barker, angrily. IF the state
wished you to and the railroads did
not. you might be acting within your
| rights to retain jurisdiction.
You may have to stand or fall up
, on that friendship"

Guam to be Fortified Strongly

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.--Regarded
by many naval officers as the most
vulnerable point owned by the United
States for Japanese attack, Guam is to
be fortified strongly, according to in
timations given out by the navy de-
partment tonight. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels announced that eight Off
GERS and 275 men of the marine corps
force now stationed in the Philippines
would be moved to Guam about Janu-
ary 19, for drill and instruction in
advance base work"
Daniels admitted he had been
strongly urged by naval officers to
make Guam one of the most heavily
forced and armed stations OF the
United States in the east but said he
had not passed upon the question Off
edally. This sudden action before
even the plans are officially passed
upon was taken as one result of the
presence in Mexico of squads of Jap
anese from the Japanese cruiser Id.
yuma, now on the west coast of Mex.
leo. Members of its crew it was de
clared have been permitted to jour
ney to Mexico City in small squads
without their uniforms for sight see
ing" 1t was said these visits, in
volving such long overland journey
have given the state department con
siderable annoyance but it was felt
that protest to Japan would not be
justified especially in view Of relations
growing out of alien land labor in
California.

Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor at Washington and to be present

dent Chas. H. Meyer, of the Western
Federation of Miners left the copper
country tonight going by way of Chi
cago. R. P. Mackenzie, Of Denver,
representing the executive council OF
the Western Federation of Miners
and Chas Tanner, who was deported
with Meyer from Hancock, will remain
here to conduct the strike.
Meyers departure was not expected
and was almost as sudden but not as
violent as his last departure.
Flatly denying the department OF
labor's charge that strike breakers
were imported by the operators mis-.
representations, Albert q. Petermann
counsel for the Calumet and Hecla
Mining company tonight reiterated the
operators assertion that they will con
tinue to refuse to arbitrate the strik-
ers demands with the Western Fedora
tion miners. Petermann made the fol
lowing statement, based on investiga
tions by Walter B. Palmer, John A
Moffitt and John b. Densmore, federal
Investigators
Before Mr.. Palmer left the distric,
there had been imported but a few
men in one shipment. These were
for the Qnincy Mining Co. The charge
that they were brought here under
misrepresentation is absolutely false
Mr.. Palmer was the only department
of labor man who made any investiga
tion whatever. John A. Moffitt and
John B. Densmore were here merely
to try to arrange for a settlement o
the strike not to investigate. AS fal
as the Calumet and Hecla and its sub
sidiaries are concerned the charge tha
men were brought here without knowl
edge of conditions is disproven.
Every one of the men hired and
brought in, signed in duplicate 6

fact that he was to work underground,

taken to the mines at the point of {

answer to make: There is no trutl

The reason the men were escorte,

knew this, was TO protect them to III,

Bids People Of Pass Christian
Eowdy do and Good Bye
All at the Same
Time.

/ By John Edwin Nevin, staff cores
pondent of the United Press.l
PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Jan. 10.-
President and Mrs. Wilson said howdy-
co and good bye to the people of the
gulf coast this afternoon Incidental
ly the first public reception Of the
Wilson administration was held at the
winter white house. Exactly 1,1S5
women, men, and children shook
hands with the executive and first
lady OF the land and tried to bid them
welcome and Godspeed as they were
passed through the line at the rate of
thirty minute. The reception was
unique and picturesque. The winter
white house, overlooking Pass Chris
tian Bay, has no inside reception hall,
consequently the broad front piazza,
reached by two pairs Of winding steps,
was utilized. Long before the hour
set for the function. the big front
lawn was jammed with people. who
had made the trip in every con-
ceiveable sort of vehicle from the
modern autos to ancient barouches
drawn by rat-tailed mules attached to
harness made chiefly Of rope.
Representative B. Pat Harrison, of
the sixth Mississippi district, intro
duced most of the visitors There
was little formality.
There were several incidents dis
tinctly out of the ordinary First.
there was Aunt Lucy Marshall, an
ante-bellum negress, garbed in won
derful flowing white sun bonnet. She
is ninety-fiye years old For weeks she
has been talking about meeting the
president and today she was not to be
denied despite the fact that 1t was
generally accepted that the reception
was strictly for the white residents
of the section. Aunt Lucy carried a
picture Of herself, neatly framed,
which she insisted on giving him. The
cid negress was applauded to the
echo by the crowd on the lawn as she
bowed low in an ancient "curtsy'' to
the president and Mrs. Wilson.
Just few PAGES behind Aunt Lucy
came General Oxford. Of Birmingham,
