The MOBBING OF MOYER
Attorney For, Western Federation Of
Miners to Appear Before Grand
Jury.-Moyer Shot in Back,

Chicago.-A grand jury investiga-
ton of the mobbing of Charles IL.
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, at Hancock, Mich,
will be demanded at Houghton, coun-
ty seat OF Houghton county, by o. N.
Hilton, attorney for the federation.
Meyer claims that he was attacked
by about twenty-five men, hit over
the head with the butt Of revolver,
shot In the back and dragged for sew
eral blocks, while the mob clamored
for his life. He was finally placed
on a train and told that If he ever
returned he would be lynched.
On his arrival here, accompanied
by Charles H. Tanner, a member OF
the federation, who was also roughly
handled by the mob at Hancock, he
was taken to a hotel where surgeons
made a superficial examination Of the
wound. He was then removed to the
hospital. Apparently the only dan
ger lies in the possibility of blood
poisoning.

SCORES TRAMPLEO
TO DEATH IN PANIC
CELEBRATION TURNED INTO
MOURNING AS RESULT OF
FALSE ALARM OF FIRE.
In Mad Rush for Exits the Weaker
Ones are Thrown Down and Tramp
led to Death by Those Who
Thought Only Of Self.

Calumet. Mich.-More than eighty
persons, mostly children, were killed
Wednesday night at Christmas cele-
bration held by copper mine strikers
In italian hall because of a needless
panic caused by false alarm OF mr..
While several hundred miners and
their wives looked on and scores OF
children pressed eagerly towards the
stage to receive Christmas presents,
a man stuck his head in at the door
of the hall and yelled Fire"
The cry was taken UP at once by
those in the hall. Everyone sprang
UP and started for the doors. The
weaker persons were thrown to the
floor and those behind tried to climb
over the human barrier. In few
minutes the panic was stopped by the
fact that the stairway and the other
avenues of egress were blocked SO
effectively that those inside could not
get out and those without could not
get in to aid the manned and re-
move the dead
The alarm was spread outside the
hall by a few person who had been
near the door and escaped unhurt.
A crowd soon assembled and the work
of clearing the hall was begun.
The only regular exit was narrow
stairway at the back Of the hall. When
this had been cleared of the bodies
it was found that seventy-four corpses
had been laid in row beside the
hall building 1t was thought that
probably dozen more had been car
ried away by friends.
The dead included thirty-seven
girls, nineteen boys, thirteen women
and Ave men. Excited relatives stood
about the building, some dazed by the
sudden change from holiday festivi.
ties to tragedy, others calling hyster-
ically for a missing child and few
even threatening violence to the res
cuers for keeping them from the long
row of bodies.

FRuIrLEss SEARCH ron LOPEZ
Apex Mine Searched But Mexican
Murderer Not Found.


Salt Lake City.-The Tribune Sun
day morning printed story to the
effect that a secret and fruitless
search for the body of Lopez, the
Mexican bandit, was made in the
Andy workings of the Apex mine, Sat
urday night.
The searchers are said to have
spent three hours in the mine, search
ing the likely places for the body of
the Mexican, afterward leaving as
they had entered and replacing the
bulkhead. Nothing was found chang
ed, according to the two members of
the party interviewed. No evidence
that the Mexican had been in the
mine since the bulkheads were put
there was found, it is said, except nu-
merous candle ends that might have
been left by him or by miners and
guards.
According to the story told the
searchers visited the spot in the Andy
incline where ]. Douglas Hulsey and
Thomas Manderieh were killed; the
seven stope, where Lopez's bedding
was found two weeks ago, and the
eleven stope, where it was believed
he was heard on the morning when
the bulkhead was placed in the Andy
incline

Should a regional bank desire to
pay out more money than It's cash re-
sources will permit, the law provides
that 1t may put some Of It's rediscount-
ed commercial paper into the hands
Of the federal reserve agent" and re-
ceived in return the new treasury
notes.
For each note that 1t puts out into
circulation. the regional reserve bank
must set aside in gold 40 per cent. of
the value of the note as a guarantee
for its redemption. This gold, with
the commercial paper held by the
federal reserve agent" is the pro-
lection behind the new money; but
these notes will also be guaranteed by
the government and may be redeemed
in gold in the United States treasury.
Reserve Required.
Each regional bank, under the act,
must keep a reserve of 35 per cent. of
the deposits 1t has received, besides
the 40 per cent. gold reserve behind
the treasury notes it issues. If the
/ gold reserve behind the notes falls be-
| low 40 per cent. a heavy tax is inn
posed on the bank, which in turn adds
the tax to the rate it charges member
banks for rediscounts. This was de.
signed to stop an over-expansion OF
currency. In times of sudden stress
the federal reserve board can suspend
these reserve provisions, in order to
furnish quick relief to any commu-
nifty.
Take Up Bonds.
/ None of the existing forms of cur.
rency except the national bank notes
win be disturbed by the new law. The
United States bonds. now used to Sc
/ cure the issue of national bank notes
are to be taken up at the rate of $685..

serve banks and new treasury notes

necessary.
Banks In Control.
While the banks retain control .oi
