West Virginia Asks
 For Federal Troops
(Continued from page D

The men now assembled in Logan rom Mcdowell. Mingo and Logan counties, to resist the invasion will be utterly unable to repel the at- tack.
 Because of the imminent danger of great loss of life, if there is a clash between the Logan officers and citizens and the armed insur- rectionists, and believing it is my duty to seek protection for the lives and property of our citizens. I most respectfully renew my request for federal troops to be sent forthwith to West Virginia for the purpose of quelling the insurrection and dis arming those engaged in it. Delay, in my opinion, will prove most dis astrous."

 While almost 100 officers and men of the West Virginia state police, and some 250 deputy sheriffs kept watch on the mountain ridges near the Logan county border tonight, efforts were still being made by county and state officers to ascertain the number of casualties suffered by armed men in the brush on Beach creek Sunday.

 Tells of Trip to War Zone
 Adjutant General Charnoek, in statement of his trip. said:
 "The first stop in the trouble zone was at Clothier Sunday evening. We found approximately 100 men assem- bled, and the letter prepared by Mir. Keeney asking the armed men to dis perse and return to their homes and place the mines in operation was read. After a number of conferences among themselves the men refused us permission at first to continue up the creek, threatening to blow up the train Finally they permitted us to proceed. We reached Sharples and were met by about 100 men. MT. Keeney's letter was again read and talks were made by both Mir. Porter and myself in which the men were urged to go home. Some did so, but the majority did not, and then patrols on the roads were continued.
 rThis morning we went to the scene of the shooting Saturday night when the armed patrols clashed with the state police. We secured the statements of practically a dozen witnesses After the statements were given and the men were fur- ther advised what to do and what they could expect If they did. not follow his advice, they threatened to detain us-
