Stories While at Work
on Lincoln School

Fred Schaefer, a painter, living at
LOG South Sprigg street, fell from the
second floor of the Lincoln School
yesterday morning and was serious
ly injured.

the Vogelsang Construction Company,
was standing on what is known as a
painters jack. This contraption was
stationed just above the second
floor f-tbe- -b,rilding
He had been standing on for several

a Jerk at the rope holding one end
of the improvised platform and Jack,
painter and paint plunged to the
ground.
Schaever fell on pile of bricks
and rocks, and large bucket of
paint dropped on top of him. The
platform missed falling on the painter
by only a narrow margin.
Co-workers rushed to his aid, and
found him unconscious Believing
that he was dead, the workmen liter
ally carried him to his home, which
is Just about two blocks from the
scene of the accident.
He was revived short time after
he reached his home, but his condi-

Striking Distance of Island
Intervention Likely
By telegraph TO The Tribune.


Washington, July 22-Plans fer
mobilizing at least 1000 marines with
in striking distance of Haiti and the
Dominican republic, will move for
ward another step tomorrow with
the arrival Of the naval transport
Prairie at Guantanan from Vera
Cruz with 400 seasoped~6fhting men
from the Outposts there. That will
bring the force at Guantanamo up
to 700.
The transport Hancock, which has
Just landed 300 at Guantanamo, is
now headed for the Philadelphia
Navy Yard to return with another
load to bring the total force up to at
least 1000.
With those preparations President
Wilson's decision as to what action
the United States shall take uto qell
the revolutions in the island republic
and satisfy the pressure Of European
creditors, will be awaited. War and
navy officials, confident that peace
can be restored on the island only
by the active intervention Of the
United States, are perfectng their
plans.
Recurring revolution in Haiti threat
ened tremendous property losses led
to renewal of discussion today in ad-
ministration circles over the possibi-
lity of American intervention. Small
hope was held that the Haitiens would
be able to put their own Government
in order.
The situation had reahced such a
stage that under European pressure

If intervention were ordered in
Haiti it was suggested that the United
States would attempt TO establish
financial trusteeship over the re-
pubic by which American officials
not oIv would collect taxes, but they
would require proper appropriation
Of the funds.
If intervention in Haiti became
necessary, it was possible that Ameri-
can troops might be used to put down
the long revolt that has harasscd the
dominican Government. Such action

panied hy extension of the authority

FAULKNER CASE
 AGAIN DEFERRED ELECTION BOARD FIGHT
IS POSTPONED BY STATE COM MISSIONERS UNTIL MON
 DAY, JULY 27.
From Juesdav's Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
 The rehearing of the contest over the appointment of election commis- z sioners for Faulkner county was again deferred by the state board at Little Rock late yesterday afternoon, the board fixing next Monday, July 27, at 2 D. m, as the time for the re- consideration of the appointments for this county.
 At yesterdays meeting J. A. King and R. D. White of Conway and T. c. Triynble, Jr., of Lonoke presented to the board their objections to the appointment of George w. Clark, former prosecuting attorney, for one oft the commissioners for Faulkner county. The objectors claimed that they represented faction of the Democratic party in the county which was entitled to recognition, although they strongly protested that they had no intention of offering any opposi- ton to the Democratic nominees.
 J. A. Lea, county clerk and nomi- nee for reelection, and A. M. Ledbet- ter, nominee for circuit clerk, urged that the board already named is satis- factory to every one of the Democrat ic nominees and that the custom has prevailed in the past of following the recommendation of the nominees for election commissioners.
 It is understod that Attorney Gen. eral Moose and Secretary of State Hodges are unwilling to make any changes in the commissioners for this county unless exceptional reasons can be shown for the removal of MT. Clark. Governor Hays, 1t IS under stood, favors the removal of MT. Clark and the substituting of Dem ocrat acceptable to the faction repre- sented by Messrs. King and White. No fight is being made on the other members selected for this county, John Lindsey, Democrat, and J. M Browning, Republican.

BATTLE RACES IN
 COAL MINE WAR
PLANTS ARE DYNAMITED
SEVERAL MEN ARE REPORTED SLAIN IN SEBASTIAN COUN-
 TY BATTLE.

Fort Smith, July 18.-The trouble moth Vein Coal Company's mines since last April eliminated yesterday in riots in which mines Nos. l, 3 and 4 at Prairie Creek were destroyed by fire and dynamite and it is stated that several were killed, among them John Baskins, Bill Sylesberry, and Syles- bery's son. This IS not confirmed, but guards and officials of the company in- sist that between 10 and 15 of their men are missing and guards assert that they are positive that number of the union men were killed and that they saw them throw up their arms and drop to the ground. The guards were largely outnumbered and had to flee for their lives. They are organiz- ing to go back early in the morning to look for their missing comrades. They are armed and have secured q fresh supply of ammunition.
 Between 50 and 100 men employed at Mine No. were driven away in a battle with union miners and their sympathizers, said to number several hundred, between 4 o'clock yesterday iaorning and noon. Three tipples were destroyed, the fanhouse at No. was burned, the company houses at the same place shared like fate, as did two company houses at Mine No. B.. The mouth of the shaft of this mine alos was caved in or destroyed by dy- nan1ite, which was applied to machin- cry, such as boilers and englnes, to hasten their destruction. The dam- age IS heavy. Practically every build- ing at the three plants, except com pany houses, were reduced to ashes.
 This is the climax to the strike of union miners that has been in pro- gress at Mine No. 4 since April, when the company substituted the open shop for union labor.

TAXES ON FARMS
 WOULD BE LIGHT CITIES AND RAILROADS
WOULD PAY TWO-THIRDS COST OF PROPOSED TURNPIKE,
 TT IS CLAIMED.

From Fridays Daily.
 Wm. $. Owen, secretary 9f the Ar kansas Highway Commission, anc democratic nominee for state land ane high way commissioned spent yester day in the city compiling data for tic proposed Little Rock Fort Smith Pike
 1hlch is expected to he organized by tie next legislature, says tie Russell. ,ille Courier rDemocrat. Assisted " County Clerk Sewell he secured iron L! records the assessed valuation ol all leal estaie t',ree miles on either side of the proposed pike extending east to west through the county and forming a connecting link in the roao which will extend from Little Rock to Fort Smith. The road has not yet been logged, but it is generally con- ceded that it will follow 6 ccarse neal the Iron Mountain Railwsj through Pope county People livin, south ot the river between here end Fort Smith are also interested l. the pike and it is possible that the road will fork in Russellville, one branch run ming north of the river viz. Clarks- vile, and another south of .he river via. Dardanelle, Paris, and on to Fort Smith.
 Those interested in this highway claim that the railroads and the incor- porated towns that will be touched by the highway will pay more tsan half, and perhaps two-thirds of the cost of the road As the entire route will be along the Iron Mountain Railway, this property will be assessed for it's en- tire length. This will generally amount to more than all the other property in the siX-mile strip for the same distance Then all properties in the cities and towns will come in for their assessments, and tWo-thirds .is perhaps a reasonable estimate of the share of the burden that will be borne by the towns and railroads. In Pope county the Iron Mountain is as- sessed at $77O,000, and the D. & R. at about $50,O00. The city of Russell vile is assessed at over $500 900, and with Atkins, Pottsville anG London in- cluded, the railroads and towns in the proposed district through Pope county will pay on an assessment of over a million and half dollars.
