KEEPING FEDERAL
TROOPS ON CALL
President Harding. for the Present,
VIII Hold Martial Law
PrOclamatiOns

Washington, May 16.-Senarer
Sutherland of West Virginia. called on
Secretary Weeks today to urge him
70 promulgate the proclamations sign
ed Saturday by President Harding,
declaring martial law IN the strike
area of West Virginia and Kentucky.
TROOPS READY IF WANTED
Washington, May 15.-Proclama-
tons were signed by President Hard
ing late yesterday declaring a state
of martial law in Mingo county, w.
Va, and Pike county. KY, along the
interstate boundary, the area affected
by the coal strike riots. The procla-
nations We're turned over to Secre-
tary of War Weeks to be issued at his
discretion should reports from the
trouble region make such action neces-
sary.
At the war department orders were
prepared Immediately after the sign
ing of the proclamation informing
Major-General George W. Read, COM
manding the Fifth corps, at Fort Ben
jamin Harrison, of the presidents ae-
tion and ordering him to hold a suf-
fieient number of troops in readiness
to make martial law effective in the
area apprehended by the presidents
proclamation.
When President Harding decided on
the drastic action as a result of the
conference with Secretary Weeks and
Senator Sutherland of West Virginia,
it was intended that the proclama-
tions should be issued Immediately. A
few moments after they were signed,
however, telegram was received at
the White House from Governor Nor
row of Kentucky announcing that the
situation looked better and that state
troops had been ordered to patrol the
Kentucky side of the border.
1t was this information that caused
the postponement of the issuance Of
the proclaamtions. After another con-
ference with Mr.. Weeks the president
decided to leave the papers in the
war seeretary's hands and to give
him authority to issue them at his
discretion. Secretary Weeks imme-
diately returned to the the war de-
partment and instructed Major Gen.
eral Marsh to prepare orders and take
the necessary steps to make martial
law effective should the proclamations
be promulgated.
President Harding was Influenced
in his decision, it was understood, by
his conversation with Senator Suther-
land. The senator took to the White
House a number of appeals from citi-
zens of West Virginia declaring that
the situation was beyond the control
tof the state authorities and that fed
eral aid was necessary. One telegram
from C. R. Wilson at Huntington, said
that the people of Matewan, w. Va,
twere being "shot down like rats

NO INQUEST PROBABLE IN
DEATH OF WILLIAM HOPKINS

1t is doubtful that an inquest will be
held by Coroner Dibble into the death
of William Hopkins who died Friday
night following injuries sustained in
an automobile accident three miles
north of Pueblo. 1t Is claimed that
the glare of an approaching automo-
bile headlight, blinded Marvin Wood
ward who was driving the automobile
in which Hopkins was riding and he
ran into the rear of small wagon
being driven by C. A. Ross, pros
pector The occupants of the ap
preaching car, stopped at the scene of
the accident. Both woodward and
Hopkins were conscious at the time
and apparently Hopkins was not seri-
ously injured. 1t is said that the oc-
cupants of the car asked IL the boys
were hurt and both gave negative
answers, whereupon the automobile
moved on.
DR.. Fred Heller, approaching from
the north, arrived soon afterward and
by this time Hopkins had become par
TALLY unconscious. DR.. Heller en-
deavored to assist them and few
minutes later Philip Philbin, Jr. and
Corporal Strever of the Colorado Ran
gers drove up in an automobile and
brought the two lads to st. Mary's hos

pital where Hopkins died ten minutes
after entering the institution.
There is a state law against using
glaring headlights on a state highway.
1t is said, and conviction brings n
heavy fine. So far no -one has been
able to learn who were the occupants
of the car with the bright headlights.
DR.. Dibble stated last night that un-
less something further develops q
coroner's inquest would be futile.
Hopkins was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Hopkins. His father is a
prominent jeweler of Pueblo. He
graduated from Centennial High
school and was one of the most popu-
