DRUNK WITH AUTHORITY, SAYS JOBLESS
ARMY HEROINE CLUBBED,BY DEPUTIES

says Mrs. ]. S. Wightman, evangelist
and heroine of the jobless army that
was forcibly elected from Sacra-
mento, capital of California, recently.
Mrs. Wightman is scathing in her
denunciation of the manner in which |
a thousand members of the army of |
idle were ruthlessly beaten and man |
handled by citizen-deputies in the |
bloody Battle of the MIST. Bridge"
when, in driving them from the city, |
these defenseless men were forced to
run gauntlet of clubs, pick handles
and gun butts.
'The line of deputies extended !
three deep for about seven blocks"
said Mrs. Wightman, land these I'M
armed, helpless, ill-fed men were
forced by water from a fire hose and
by the pick handles of the crowd to
run this gauntlet while each deputy
took a whack at them. Many fell
senSeless from blows over the head.
This uncalled-for brutality in the
Battle of the MIST Bridge will al
ways be a red stain on the citizenry
of Sacramento. The city police were
not nearly so brutal as the irrespon-
sible deputies who struck men wan
tonly across the face or back without
giving the slightest thought to the re-
suits of their blows,
when the battle was over two
men, Stewart and Brown, were miss
ing. Their fate is unknown. i, A boy
was knocked into a caldron of hot
soup during the fight and burned so
badly that he may die.

the assault and later, when she at,
tempted to cross the MIST. bridge

The official replies to the offer sug-
gest that they will favor any plan
coming from the United States which
will settle the European tangle with
out forcing anyone into humiliating
position.
Absence Of News Causes Hitch.
1t is further intimated that the pro-
posed mediation should be delayed
until full news of the respective posi-
tions of the powers concerned shall
have come to light.
The absence OF news from the front
makes It impossible at present to
formulate plan that would meet the
situation of the combatants.
Italy is especially favorable to
President Wilson's suggestion. As
surance comes from Rome that the
Italian government will lend official
support to any peace plans from the
United States.

similar assurance OF assistance and
congratulation.
