Tell OF Assaults
OnNon=Un niOn Men

Houghton, Mich. March Ga score of
witnesses today told the congressional
committee investigating the copper strike
of assaults on non-union men and other
alleged acts of violence committed by
strikers and sympathizers.
John Latola, Finn miner, told the
committee that he had given up his card
in the Western Federation of Miners last
January and returned to work because
he discovered the strike leaders stood for
lawlessness. His testimony was expung-
ed from the record on motion of o. N.
Hilton of counsel for the. strikers, on the
ground that 1t did not show unlawful acts
were directly traceable to specific
speeches of the leaders.
Latola said Victor Brander in speeches
had told the strikers that after they had
won the copper strike they would go into
the iron and country and win a strike
there, after which they would strike
again in the copper country for six
hour day.
August Beck, chief of the Calumet c.
Hecla special police, said old men who
were unable to get out of the day were
kicked and beaten by strikers during dis
turbances the first two days of the
strike.

Redmond Returns
From Australia

Vancouver, b. c., March civilian
Redmond Nationalist member of the
British House of Commons for Glare, was
here today on his return from a visit of
several months to Australia. He hopes
to be back at Westminster in time for
the discussion on the second reading Of
the home rule bill.
People speak about Ulster as If Ulster
as whole was against home rule for
Ireland" he said. THE fact is that the
majority of Ulster have declared in favor
of home rule. OF the 35 Ulster members
II are strongly in favor of home rule.
''The contention Of Mr.. Bonar Law that
there is to be civil war because one pro-
vince of Ireland objects to the policy
which the rest of the country desires,
will, of course, not stand examination.
My prediction is that while there might
be some turbulence and rioting, such as
we have seen in the past. the people of
Ulster will in the end settle down to
home rule. 1t must be remembered that
commercially Ulster would have every
thing to lose in the event of the civil war

Boston, March 6.-Responsibility for
the condition into which the New
England railroads have fallen rests
squarely on mismanagement by direc-
tors of those roads in the past, Gov.
David l. Walsh said tonight to an
audience of railroad officials at the
annual banquet of the Traffic Club of
New England.
Former President, Taft discussing
the railroad situation in general,
agreed that the fault for their pres
ent condition lay with the railroads.
adding: But that is no reason why
we should break them down. the
worst policy we can adopt is to try
to get even with them. We have got
to give the railroads justice in our
own interest, even if they don't de-
serve it,
Gov. Walsh said: by coming be-
fore the Federal government, the New
York. New Haven & Hartford and the
Boston q Maine Railroads have TAX

expediency or for some other reason

five Per Cent
DISCOUNT ON A
u. S. SRIPL.0AD

New York, March GA per cent.
discount on all imports carried by
ships of American registry, as provid-
ed for in the new tariff law was grant
ed today by the Board of United
States General appraisers in an opiS-
ion given by Judge b. ). Waite. The
board held that the favoring of Amer
lean shipping was the present intent
of Congress in framing the statute
and that the allowance TO American
vessels did not impair the treaties
with foreign countries. The act allows
a discount of per cent. on duties on
all merchandise imported in vessels
of American registry, provided that
the granting of this discount does not
involve violation of any treaty.
The dicision II it is upheld by high
er courts, to which an appeal be
taken will affect four ships of the
American Line from Southampton to
New York, two ships of the Red Star
Line and all coastwise vessels, which
by law are all of American registra-
ton.
The board further states that this
is not a statute extending favor to
any particular country, nut rathef an
offer to all importers of all nations to
make use of the reduction allowed to
American shipping. The treaties in
velved read the opinion. being those
in effect with Austria Hungary, Great
Britain, Holland. Germany and other
powers, were not self-eXecuting and
the question of their application was
q politicaI one not within the juris-
diction of the courts.
The contest over the provision Of
the statute was begun last November
when Attorney General McReynolds
informed the various port authorities
that the discount which was provis-
ionally granted by the statute could
not be allowed to American vessels
without violation of existing treaties
between the United States and other
powers. He declared it imperative.

BRITISH TROOPS and
TRIBESMEN Of AFRICA
INLIvELYS SCRIMMACES

London, March 6.-News has just
reached here of two exciting scIim-
images by British troops and tribes
men in Africa. In the first of these,
Major James Lyonel Joyce Coney of
the Connaught Rangers was killed in
a fight with outlaws near Wadai Hadi
in the Ok Sudan. Maj. Coney was in
charge of a contingent of an Arab
battalion of the Egyptian army. The
leaders Of the outlaws and other MEN,
bers of the band were killed and the
remainder made prisoners. Besides
Maj. Cceey the British troops lost
three rcn killed and four wounded.
In the second affair Lieut.. Jones
was shot through both legs during an
attack on a stockade by Abyssinian
raiders in British East Africa when
Lieut. Jones was wounded all his SOL
diers, except three orderlies These
men, at Jones command, re-took the
stockade by assault,
Two of the soldiers, both natives,
then bore the wounded officer on a
streteher soc miles to his post. Blood
poisoning meantime had set in and
Jones was conveyed to another post,
where a doctor was stationed. On
their arrival, however, the doctor was
absent, and journey TO Nairobi was
then started. On the way the stretch
er was charged by two rhinocerosis,
which the faithful orderlies killed. At
Nyiri a doctor and nurse were
found.
The muscles of one of Jones' legs
was so shrunken that the leg will al
ways be four inches shorter than the
other and Jones will be a cripple for
life. The doctors regard Jones' arriv-
al at the hospital alive as miraculous.

GOETHALS ADVISES
new EQUIPMENT FOR
the GOVT RAILROAD

Washington, March 6.-Suggestions that
machinery and equipment used in the
construction of the Panama canal be
brought North for service in Mississippi
valley flood prevention work or in build
ing the proposed government railroad in
Alaska, were stamped as impraeteaole
today by Col. George ". Goethals. The
canal builder was before the Senate ipter-
state commerce committee to discuss the
matter. He said it would not pay to bring
any of the machinery, except perhaps
some of the dredges, to the United States
for use in any kind of work, and that
it was more economical always to start
in with new equipment.
Col Goethals said the canal equipment
could be sold at best prices to South
American railroad contractors.
