BUTTE RIOTERS
USE DYNAMITE
City Official Killed as Miners
Besiege Union Hall
FIRE FROM BUILDINGS NEAR
Hundred Sheriff's Aids Use Sawed-oh
Shotguns-Fire From Windows-
Plot to Kill President of West
ern Federation Suspected.

Butte, Mont.-Charles H. Meyer.
president of the Western Federation
of Miners, contrary to repeated warn.
ings, attempted to hold a meeting Of
the few faithful federation miners in
the old Union Hall and ~precipitated
another riot in which Ernest ]. Noy,
Inspector of the demurrage bureau,
was shot and instantly killed by one Of
Meyers followers, who fired from a
window in the hall.
Sheriff Dricoll rushed more deputies
to the hall and soon 100 men with.
sawed-off shotguns were on guard.
]. H. Bruneau, a miner who attempt
ed to enter the hall to join the Meyer
followers, was shot by a rifieman at the
head of the stairway and seriously
wounded. Three other spectators in
the crowd on the street were slightly
wounded.
There were cries of Lynch Meyer"
and firing on the streets became gen
eral.
More than a hundred shots were
fired from the hall, but aimed only
to keep the mob from forcing an en-
trance.
When the firing ceased about 9
o'clock it was reported that Meyer
and some of his followers had escaped
through rear windows. but others
said he could not have escaped.
The mob, bent on killing Meyer and
his crowd, procured quantities of dy-
Mantle and placed it under the hall
which is situated on North Main
street, but two blocks from the City
Hall and police station, and began
blowing it up, four heavy explosions
following at short intervals.
The police under the Socialist ad-
ministration did nothing but keep the
crowd from danger, and the Sheriff
was equally powerless.
The feeling not only among the
rebel miners but citizens generally is
so bitter against Meyer and the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor that his life would
be forfeited if he were caught.
Meyer and eleven of his followers
escaped from the Union Hall as soon
as the shooting started and got out
of town by automobile. The other
men in the hall were permitted to get
out when Meyers escape became
known. A band of miners went to
the West Stewart mine and compelled
the engineer at the point of guns to
lower several men into the store
room for dynamite, which they pro-
cured and then returned to the hall.
The trouble here started with a
split in the local union of the Western
Federation of Miners early in June.
A majority of the members seeded
and started a rival organization under
the l. w. w. Rioting began on June
Is and disorder has continued.
Threats have been made to lynch
Deputy Sheriff Owen C. Ribben and
Martin Hawkins, but they were saved
by the police.
A delegation of the rioters called at
the local newspaper offices and de-
manded that the Industrial Workers Of
the World no longer be called "the
mob" and "the rioters" The towns
people are in sympathy with the Sc
ceders.

DOCTORS ARE HIT
When They Marry They Must
Cult Service.

London.-The London County Coun-
ell decided that women doctors must
retire from their service if they mar
ry. These questions arose on the ap-
pointment of three women doctors in
the public health service. The eoun-
ell in such appointments insists that
women shall resign on marriage, and
a similar condition was included in the
case of the three new appointments.
Miss Adler and Miss Wallas, both
progressive members, supported the
amendment. Miss Wallas urged that
the council needed women Of expert
ence, and Miss Adler said it would not
only be wise to have married women
doctors but also married nurses. Wo-
men could organize nowadays, so there
was no great fear that wages would
be reduced.
Lady st. Heller, the only woman
member of the municipal reform party.
took a view directly opposite to that
of her two progressive colleague, The
council allowed women teachers to
marry. but she declared she was con-
WINGED that no woman could do her
duty to her home and family If she
had to go out to work.

The Cheerful Person.

God bless the cheerful person-man,
woman or child. 1literate or educated,
handsome or homely. What the sun
Is to nature, what God is to the strick,
en- heart, are cheerful persons in the
house, and by the wayside. They go
unobtrusively, unconsciously, about
their mission, happiness beaming from
their faces. We love to sit near them.
We love the nature Of their eye, the
ton of their voices. Little children
ind them out quickly amidst the
densest crowd, and, passing by the
knitted brow and compressed lip,
glide near. laying a confiding hand on
their knee and lift their clear, young
eyes to those loving faces.-A. A.
Willis.

Especial Trenton Correspondence

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.--A resolution demanding
the retirement of George w. Perkins
as chairman of the National Execu-
tive Committee of the Progressive
party created such a furore at a ses-
sion of the State Committee and coun-
ty representatives in this city that it
was decided to defer, action until the
return of ~ex-President roosevelt to
the United States. A great deal of
spirit was injected into THE contro-
versy by ex-State Senator Everett
Colby championing the retention of
the partner of the late J. P. Morgan.
He expressed the belief that Colonel
Roosevelt would be an ardent support
er of Mr.. Perkins.
There were other interesting fea-
lures of the meeting, Frank B. Jess,
of Camden, resigned as chairman of
the State Committee. Ernest A. Shay,
the Sussex County member, also re-
signed. MI. Shay declared that the
Progressives and Republicans should
have as their main object the defeat
of the Wilson Administration. George
L. Record, of Jersey City, created a
sensation by Threatening to quit the
party unless Mr.. Perkins was ousted.
The meeting decided to have a Pro-
gressive conference at Asbury Park,
to which delegates will be invited
from New York, Pennsylvania and
Connecticut.
The resolution which would have
Perkins barred from membership was
introduced by Record, and introducing
1t he adverted to the formal protest
filed by Amos Pinchot. The resolu-
ton declared that the protest precipi-
tates a crisis in the history of the
Progressive party, making it neces-
sary for the party representatives to
take a position upon the fundamental
questions as to the protection of the
private monopoly against the inter
ests Of the public at large.
1t was decided to have full tickets
in all Of the congressional districts,
as well as for all county offices, at the
next general election. This followed
the discussion as to the advisability
of ~indorsing Republican nominees
who might declare themselves in fav-
or of Progressive principles.
The sole fate of the party depended
upon Colonel Roosevelt, Chairman
Jess emphasized in rendering his re
signation. He said further that in his
opinion it would be the sounding of
taps" for the party if the Colonel
succeeded in merging the Progress
sives with the Republicans, but Mr..
Record would not stand for this, view,
declaring that the ~Progressives was
not a "one-man" party, but survived
because of the principles advocated
by it,

City No place for Chickens.

Cows, hogs, ducks, geese, pigeons
or chickens should not be kept in the
city limits, according to Health Officer
Alton S. Fell, and he has recommend
ed to the City Commission the passage
of an ordinance to that effect. 1t is
the particular impression of DR.. Fell
that chickens should be raised in the
country. While he believes in every
thing that will tend to reduce the high
cost of living, he thinks that the keep
ing of chickens in a city is purely a
matter of recreation, and besides, Dr..
Fell says, it is a certain producer of
peevishness among neighbors.
Chickens are good eating" the
Health Officer says, 'but when they
are alive all their tendencies are to-
ward destruction, and if people will
insist on keeping them they should
be compelled by law to keep them
confined on their own premises at all
times"
