NO "GUNMEN" IN THE STRIKE ZONE
Commander of Federal Troops at Prairie Creek
 Disarms Civilians.

Camp Garrison, Prairie Creek, Nov. 23.-There will be no so-called gun men" in the coal camp in the Prairie Creek district so long as Major Me- Cure is in command of the troops here. He said today he had personal ly taken charge of all arms and ann munition in the camp. He declined to give the number of weapons he found in the camp. He did admit, however, that the number was small. There are about 130 men in the non union camp.
 Mai. Mcclure was not instructed by Judge Frank Youmans to demand the surrender of arms. He stated he took this action on his own initiative and as a matter of precaution. Sending non- union men into Prairie Creek with arms resulted in great indfgna- tion being expressed.
 Peter R. Stewart and Fred Holt. former officials of District 21, United Mine Workers of America, indicted with 24 others for conspiracy in con- nection with the mine troubles, com pleted their bonds late today.

FLAMES ENDANGER
 MOTHER AND BABE
Mrs. Ulman and Hour-Old Daughter Hurriedly Re-
 moved as Fire Threatens.

Mrs. J. w. Ulman and her baby daughter. the latter little more than an hour old, were hurriedly removed from their home at 1901 East Fourth street shortly after o'clock last night, when fire destroyed two homes and damaged another in close proxim- ity to the Ulman home, causing a damage aproximating $2,000.
 The attending physician had hardly returned to his office after caring for the mother and babe, when the Ire was discovered. Members of the fam ily and willing neighbors moved Mrs. Ulman and her little daughter to the home of Mrs. J. M. Gallagher, 2001 East Fifth avenue, where it was stated early this morning that no i'll effects were expected because of the hurried moving.
 The fire originated in the home of George Sfemmle, 1920 East Fourth avenue. None of the members of the family was at home at the time, and when the fire was discovered about 7:20 o'clock the entire house was ablaze. The adjoining house, occupied by J.. A. Murphy. quickly caught, al- though most of the contents were saved by neighbors. Stemmle lost all the contents of his house except one trunk. The roof was burned off the house occupied by w. L. Gibson. The loss was only partially covered by insurance.
 A. E. Brewster, one of the firemen attached to the central station, lost a valuable gold watch during the fire. It was an open face gold watch with the letters "G. C." in monogram on the rear case. MT. Brewster does not know how the watch was lost, as he did not miss it until after the fire had been extinguished. He valued it highly because of associations, and will make efforts today to locate it among the ruins.

LEO FRANKS HOPE
 IS CONTINUATION
Justice Lamar Refuses to Grant Writ for Review of
 Conviction.

Washington. Nov. 23.-Justice La mar of the United States supreme court today denied the appeal of Leo M. Frank for writ of error to re- view his conviction of the murder of Mary Phagan at Atltnata, Ga., April 26, 1913.
 It was accompanied by a memoran- dunn of four typewriter pages which was forwarded to the clerk of the su- preme court and presented to Frank s lawyers.
 The denial of the application for the writ means that Franks chances for a stay of execution through the supreme court are practically gone. Franks lawyers may make appl:Ca- ton to etherr justices of the supreme court, but the possibility of their granting the writ, in view of Judge Lamar's action, is remote. The only other resort is communta- tion by the governor of Georgia Should this fail, Frank will hang The case was argued before Justice 1 Lamar Saturday.
