That in some instances arrests

That IN some Instances arrests
were made outside the military zone
for offenses alleged to have been
committed outside the military zone
and at time when martial law did
not prevail. and when such arrests
we're made the parties were turned
over by the civil authorities to the
military authorities for detention,
trial. and punishment.
That in rendering Judgment and
assessing punishment the parties
were punished by terms of imprison>
nent unknown to the statutes or IN
excess Of the punishment provided
Tor such offenses under the laws of
the State.
Jailed BY Court Martial.
That a number OF these parties
were sent to Jail and many to the
State penitentiary under sentence
from this court-martial as approved
by the governor. Most Of those who
were sent to the penitentiary wer,
given a conditional pardon before the
term for which they we're sentenced
had expired, the pardon being con-
d1tional in general way unon good
behavior. That the parties sentenc.
Cd to the penitentiary were receiv-
% Into the penitentiary as ordinary
sonvicts and treated in everv re-
spect as parties sentenced for crimes
by the criminal courts Of the State.
That under the laws of West Vir-

sued from one justice of the peace
court and the hearing and trial up-
on the said warrant of arrest NAV
be transferred and brought on for
hearing before any other justice OF
the peace in the same county.
THAT the place Of holding court
that is, for the civil or common
law courts-was at Charleston, w.
Va, distance OF several miles from
the disturbed district or military
zone.
That no threats of violence Or
use Of force was made or had AGAINST
the judges or the courts at any time
during the existence Of the disturb
ance or the reign Of martial law.
No Threats Against Courts.
That great feeling and interest
doubtless prevailed generally through
out the county, but the existence Of
this feeling, and it's effect upon the
grand and petit juries were not tes..
ed by the calling of a grand Jury or
the submitting Of the, charges
against these persons to a grand
jury, and no attempt was made to
try them before the petit jury-the
officers of the county, after the dec
laration Of martial law, proceeding
upon the assumption that the feel
ing and prejudice were so strong as
to prevent the operation Of the civil
authorities, together with further
belief that the declaration of mar
tial law had the effect of suspending
and multiplying all constitutional and
Statutory rights of the accused"

They Have Tried to Do So.
Severe arraignment Of the author
tiles who administered marital law
in West Virginia from September
1912, to June, 1913, when the Cabin
Creek and Paint Creek coal mine
strike troubles were In progress. is
contained in q subcommittee reDort
made public last night by Senator
Borah, member Of the Senate COM
mittee that conducted an investiga-
ton into all phrases of the West Vir-
ginia disturbances.
Says Courts Were Superseded.
Senator BOrah's statement holds
that the military authorities, acting
under the direction Of the governor.
superseded all constitutional courts
in West Virginia, Imposed sentences
not authorized by any standing laws
and took over all the duties Of the
civil courts of the district, and that
at the time such martial law was be-
ing enforced there was no evidence
that the civil courts had been intim-
idated or that they would have fail
ed to perform their duties faithfully.
Restricted In Its Inquiry.
The absence Of recommendation
is due to the restrictions placed
upon the special committee by the
resolution, under which it made the
Investigation. The Enquiry itself
was stubbornIy opposed by Southern
senator's on the ground that it in
vaded the powers of the State, and
was not properly subject matter
for Federal inquiry. This opposition
was dissipated only when the reso-
luton was SO wOrded as to restrict
the committee solely to a report on
the facts disclosed.
Tried Without Indictment.
After briefly reviewing the incl
dents Of the establishment of mar
tal law and it's maintenance in the
Cabin Creek and Paint Crek dis
tricts for nearly year, Senator
Borah's statement sets forth:
THAT during the reign of martial
law number Of individuals were ar
rested, tried, and convicted and sen
fenced and punished for offenses al
legged to have been committed, .iby
them.
THAT these parties were arrested
upon orders issued by the military
authorities and not by virtue Of any
| warrant issuer by the authorities
or from the established courts of
the State, and were put upon their
trial, without the finding of any in
dictment by the grand jury, before
court martial created by the order
Of the commandments and com
posed Of individuals selected by him.
'"That the charges made against
these parties thus put upon their
trial were in the nature Of specifi-
cations drawn up and presented by
the military authorities, and upon
these they were put upon their trial

jury
| The Constitution Disreearded.
| "That in the trial Of these parties
and in the assessing Of punishments
the court before which they were
tried deemed itself bound alone by
the orders Of the commander-in-chief,
the governor Of the State. and in no
respects bound to observe the Con-
stitution Of the United States or the
constitution or the statutes Of the
State of West Virginia, relative to
the trial and punishment Of parties
charged with crime. That they act
ed under the claim that all the pro-
visions Of the constitution, both
State and national, and the statutes
of the State relative to such matters
were suspended and for the time in
operative by reason Of the existence

BlIl-One Section of Act May
Be Repealed.

Washington, Oct THE Clayton
antitrust bill, as changed in confer
ence, passed the senate by vote OF
35 to "a, four Democrats joining the
Republicans in opposition to the meas
ure The Democrats who opposed the
bill were: Lane, MARITIME. Reed ana
Thomas.
Democratic senators not in favor OF
the bill were induced to vote for 1t on
a promise by Senator Culberson that
the provision in it regulating inter
locking bank directors would be given
further consideration at the winter
session after modification had been
drafted by the federal reserve board
The senate judiciary committee had
recommended elimination Of reference
to bank regulation on the ground that
such provision had no place IN an anu
trust law, but belonged to the bank
ing and currency law. 1t urged the
issue be left open until report from
the reserve board could be obtained.
Acting on this recommendation, the
senate rejected the provision, but the
senate conferees restored it on the in
sistence, they claimed, of the house
! conferees.
i, With passage of the conference re-
| port there is an understanding that

UNITED STATES
SOLDIER IS SHOT
Trooper Hit by Bullet From
Mexican Battle.
SECOND AMERICAN WOUNDED
Major Guilfoyie Warns Chief Against
Firing Over the Border-Peace
City Is Filled With Armed
Men.

Naco, Ariz, Oct 8.-Private Leroy
Bradford, Troop B, Tenth United
States cavalry, was shot through the
chest by Carranzista troops across the
border while he was on duty in
trench on the American side, where he
had been stationed to make observa-
tons.
Only a few hours before Trooper
Bradford was shot Major Guilfoyle had
warned General Hill, the Carranzista
commander, that he would be held
personally responsible if the United
States troops were fired upon. He told
Hill that this had been done repeated
ly, but the Mexican commander pro-
fessed ignorance of any such happen
ings.
Bradford is the second United States
soldier to be struck by Mexican bull
lets since Maytorena and his Villa ad-
| herents began their attack four days
| ago. Casualties on the American side
| of the line now total three, two SOL
| diers and boy, who was hit IN the
hand by stray bullet Two cavalry
! horses also have been shot.
United States army officers reported
| that their men have been subjected to
Mexican fire every time they stand up
in their observation trenches. Captain
Holcomb, commanding Troop B. tenth
cavalry, said a machine gun was
turned on his men and 16 bullets flew
over their heads. Captain Holcomn
himself was the target for five Mex
lean bullets as he was riding back tc
camp.
Hill warned his men not to fire upon
American territory again, telling then
that anyone guilty of violating his or
der would be executed, but despite tina
they again fired and Bradford wal
struck.

Przemysp' is one of the few really

thus: prZhe," with the Austro-Hun-

you should carefully hold a 'p" be-

Senate Body.

Washington, Oct. 8.-A spirited
clash between Northern and Southern
senators over the tax on beer resulted
in a victory for the latter in the Dem

of ironing out differences among the
majority members of the committee

levied two dollars for every thousand
dollars of banking capital and surplus
