Armed Forces In Mitchell and

Mitchell. s. D.. July 31.-Mitchells
determined efforts to keep the |. w. w.
element from gaining the upper hand
seem to have met with success. Today
the headquarters of the lawless ele-
ment are deserted and there are few of
the l. w. WIS in town.
Five hundred Mitchell men. armed
with shot guns, rifles. revolvers. knives,
clubs and baseball bats, patrolled the
city all last night. They were organ
lzed according to wards with a cap
ain and lieutenant for each ward.
They were instructed to shoot If the
occasion demanded.
Late yesterday afternoon four organ
iZers of the Industrial Workers of the
World, who have maintained office in
Mitchell for the purpose of recruiting
harvest hands into the order as they
passed through the city, were aiken in
automobiles several miles out of the
city, thrown out and told never to re-
turn.

that the men engaged in the
rtoting last night We're returning heav-
lily armed added somewhat to the APP
~prehension that there might he further
trouble before morning. This and the
expected arrival Of several hundred
men on freight trains caused the or
~ganiZation Of the vigilance committees
to aid the police. The organization will
remain intact until the trouble is
qnelled and the possibility removed.
One special detachment OF the city
IRE department was armed and placed
on watch at the corn palace, where it
was feared hat %incendiary attempts
might be mad Threats thai the big
auditorium would be burned were
heard among some of the transients.
at . o'clock less than a dozen harvest
hands were rounded up, indicating that
the city has been practically cleared
OF them.
Quiet at Redfield.
At Redfield, the situation seems to be
well in hand. Citizens are armed and
are not hesitating to meet all rains
and compel the floaters to continue
through the town, instead of stopping
OFF. Furthermore, the Fourth regi-
ment of the South Dakota national
guard Is In camp at Redfield. The SOL
diers are available in case they are
needed.
That the 1. w. WIS are impressed
with the situation in Redfield is shown
by the fact hat FOUR organizers came
to town yesterday and asked permits
sion for 500 men to go through Red
field. They conferred with the mayor
and the sheriff and insisted that the
permission De given in writing. This
was done and when the train arrived
In town one Of the men was standing
on the first car. displaying the written
permission. The leaders admitted that

A. P. Thorn Gives Congress
sional Committee Detailed
Account of Trouble.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Examina-
ton of r. P. Thorn, counsel for rail-
way executives advisory committee,
was begun today by the joint con-
gressional committee investigating
transportation problems.
Mr.. Thorn said he believed congress
had the power to compel carrier
to obtain a federal charter or bar it
from interstate commerce. He said
the railroads are unanimous almost
for federal Incorporation.
Some railroads even Favored gov
eminent ownership. The great diff
Guilty is to find money to. buy the
roads.
This was the fourth day of Mr..
Thom's appearance before the COM
mittee. He had already given de-
tailed report of the difficulties of the
railroads in matters of finance and
in providing adequate facilities. His
examination was expected to occupy
most of the day.
Police powers of the states, in
Guiding the question of grade crossing
ssapatate ears fot a;feerent rssSea and
other questions should be left as far
as possible, undisturbed, Mr.. Thorn
said.
ri think" continued Mr.. Thorn "the
powers taken over by congress ought
to be those powers congress can now
see but that not other matters ought
to be disturbed until it appears that
the power left where it is now is be-
ing exercised in way to affect adj
versely the public interest"
Taxation, he said, should be left
to. the states and the physical crop
critics taxed there. Government own
ership, he believed, would not be
impeded" if the plan were adopted.
Mr.. Thorn was. questioned by Chair
man Newlands, with particular refer
ence to federal incorporation. Railway
managers of the country, he said, are
virtually agreed that it is the best
solution for many of their problems.
-4e had no doubt he said, of the con-
stitutionality of national incorpo-
ration law which would be compulsory
and not elective.

postoffice records by which the gov
eminent seeks to prove that Watson
mailed magazines.

was lost, although each juror seemed

admitted prejudice for or against the
defendant. The government arbitrar-
lily excused prospective Jurors and the
defense eight. One venireman was
excused because he had been in court
and heard evidence at the trial of
Watson on the same Indictment last
November when the jury disagreed.
Some surprise was expressed at the
quick selection of the jury.
It was not necessary today that
the defendant enter demurrers, these
having been overruled at the previous
trial and formal plea of not guilty

Recourse Lies To the

Attorneys representing Louis Die

corder's court for selling whtsksy
without license. appearetS before the
board of city commissioners yester-
day afternoon, appealing for either a
reduction of fines, or total suspep-
sion, as the commissioners concluded
best, or give the defendants time to
pay the fines, $25 per week, in case of
reduction Of penalty, until the amount
has been settled up. The commits
sioners took the matter under consid-
Grafton and will probably announce
their decision today.
Commissioner johnson informed
the counsel for each of the defend
ants that they had recourse in an APP
peal from the recorders Judgment to
the circuit court, and said that should
be, IN his opinion, the proper proceed
ure, if defendants were dissatisfied
with the sentence in the city court.
The commissioners Will, it is said,
hardly have anything to do with the
matter unless the recorder who inn
posed the fines sees fit to make a re-
commentator. This has not been
done as yet, but the first named de-
PENDANT has been given the privilege
of paying for and obtaining the nee
essary license as required by law, to-
gether with the penalty of so per
cent. This has not yet been done, al
though the defendant has been given
an opportunity and has been allowed
bond for the past several days.
The other defendant, Peter Delano,
maintains that there was no evidence
to connect him with the sales Of
liquor, although liquor was sold by
an employee in another place of bust
ness altogether. The defendant, after
the penalty was applied, stated that
he was going to pay the fine of Selix.
