QUIETING DOWN ON COAL Front
Situation Has Settled Itself Into One
Of Police Duty.

Charleston, w. Va, Sept. 6.-Tak-
ing advantage of the quiet situation
In that part of the West Virginia min
Ing region where fighting occurred
last week between miners and others
and State and county forces, Brig
Gen. H. H. Bandholtz left military
hsad aga es rtars sshertly aftsr
to-day for IN Sfnspectloh OF heE +
fected territory. The general and his
staff left by motor car for ST. Adams,
where he boarded train the vas
bound for points up the Coal river
valley. He expected to be gone all
day.
Before leaving Gen. Bandholtz said
that all parts of the affected mining
zone were very quiet.
The situation has apparently set
tied itself into one Of police duty in
the hills Of Bonne and Logan coun-
ties, according to officers at army
headquarters. Troops to-day pushed
into the Businesses of Spruce Fork
Ridge, searching the ground for miss
ing arms and any evidence Of buried
bodies. During the fighting last
week there were reports that num-
bcrs Of miners killed were buried in
the woods. There IS still no definite
list Of the number Of casualties as a
result Of last weeks shooting. Per-
mits are not required in country dis
tricts to make interments, it was
said, and for this reason no official
list Of the dead can be made. The
number Of persons killed is not be-
lieved to have been large.
Gen. Bandholtz in his latest report
to Washington, stated that he would
recommend prompt return Of the
Camp Dix troops if conditions do not
change. He also was Of the opinion
that 1t would not be necessary to in
woke martial law.

DEATH COMES no A PRISONER
Held on Spartanburg Gang After "A
Severe Beating by Guards.

Spartanburg, Sept. 2--Tom Hatch
cite and Lee Porter, guards on the
white chaingang operated by the
county highway commission, we're
bound over last night by q coroner's
jury holding Gn inquest into the
causes OF tho death Of Thomas II.
koelan, who died at the camp OIL
Wednesday after being severely whip-
ped by the guards. They gave bond
in the sum Of two thousand dollars
each and have been released.
Keelan was arrested last Friday
for hoboing and was sentenced to
serve thirty days for his offcnse. He
was asked if hist people would ,4payt
a fine for him, and he is alleged to
have said that his people needed the
money worse than he did, and took
the days.
Wednesday morning he was un-
we'll, vomiting and showing evidence
Of being sick, but the guards insisted
on his working, and when he could
hoI pSllolIIl Ilc uutlcS imposed uDOn
him he was severely whipped. After
he got down and was taken to tho
shade Of a tree IL is alleged that
Hatchette kicked him and threw
bucket Of water in his face.
The physician who held the autop-
sy said that thore was no organic
trouble: that his heart, spine and
brain were normal, and that death
was not due to any organic trouble.
He also stated that he did not think
the beating alone would have pro-
duced death but that the mans be-
ing Ill and getting the hogging he did
made it possible for him to be over
come by the heat.
The jury recommended that the
men both be discharged from the
guar ling Of convicts. There is con-
siderable feeling in the vicinity
where the camp is located, near the
Glenn Springs, over the occurrence.

two or three sessions to adjust all
differences. Mr.. Fordney's plan to
have the bill reported Saturday.
after meeting Of the full commit
tee. was changed, and the meeting
was called for Wednesday.
II seemed to be agreed that the
American valuation section would
affect between so and 60 per cent
OF all imports which have no stand
ard value. In fixing the duty on a
chair. for example, the committed
wrote into the bill a provision that
IL should be assessed on the value In
the American market Of a compara-
BILE and competitive article. In a
word, a chair shipped here from
Germany and costing 50 there
would be assessed at the port OF
entry at IS. II the latter figure were
judged TO be the fair price in this
country. Under existing law the
duty is based on the foreign value

DEMOCRATS IN
TARIFF fight
Garner Says Bill Will I'M

lions on Consumers
FORDNEY DENIES
RATES TOO HIGH

WASHINGTON. July 1.- Sharp
iy conflicting views as to the tax
burden to be imposed on the Ameri-
can people by the Administrations
tariff bill were expressed yesterday
by Republican and Democratic lead
ers Of the House.
Counting the free list. the aver
age duty rate was estimated by
Chairman Fordney. Of the ways and
means committee. at between IS and
20 per cent. compared with the 1855
Payne-Aldrich average and the 6
per cent under the present Under
wood measure. Mr.. Fordney insist
ed. however. that the average, after
an accurate estimate. would range
lower than Payne-Aldrich schedules.
Taking issue with the chairman.
Representative Gardner. Texas. rank
ing Democrat on the committee, de-
clared the rates considering the
American valuation provisions, were
higher than those in any tariff bill
passed by Congress since the civil
war. Quoting statements OF Repub-
Leans that the bill. IL passed as
written. would bring in about $780,
100000 annually, Mr.. Gardner
charged this meant an additional
cost OF at least two billion dollars
and that the larger portion OF this
burden would fall on the actual ne
cessities Of life"
The upshot OF all tariff talk veri-
fed predictions made before the bin
was introduced Wednesday that the
question whether the new rates.
taken as a whole were higher or
lower than the Payne-Aldrich duties
would be the subject of unending
and everlasting controversy and dis
cussion.
In the absence Of the expected
statement from Chairman Fordney
members generally found the 346-
page bill almost bewildering. There
was resentment against some OF
the schedules by Republicans. but
broadly speaking members stood on
the bill according to party afhlia-
tions. There was a howl from some
Democrats over the free list. which
they insisted had been too sharply
reduced.
Before going into the preliminary
Republican caucus last night. man,
