MARINES
IN China AND
War NEARSEND
Detachment is to Protect
American Interests
Around Tientsin
ARMY is FLEEING
Another Detail of Marines Sent to
Tungchow - General WI Delays
Entry Into Capital

Washington, May 6.-The Ameri-
can cruiser Huron has landed $50
Marines at Taku, China, the port OF
Tientsjn, to protect American lnter-
ests in that section.
The detachment is armed with ma
chine guns. Official reports received
here late, however, did not indicate
that any disturbances involving the
detachment had taken place.
Another detail of Marines has been
sent from Peking at the suggestion OF
American Minister Schurman to Tung
Chow, near the Chinese capital, where
there is an American missionary
school. That section, too, is reported
quiet in dispatches received here.
Peking, May 6.--Gen. WI Pei-Fu
was in control of the area around
Peking at noon yesterday, andGen.
Chang Tso-Lin, whose forces he rout-
ed Yesterday in fierce battle south OF
the capital, was reported fleeing to
Mukden. Chang's army is retreat
ing in disorder toward Tietsin.
Observers here believe Chang's sud
den collapse has ended the hostilities.
All fighting in the vicinity of Pek-
ing has ceased but the city remained
isolated so far as railroad communlca-
tion was concerned.
Gen. WI Pei-Fu early today was
reported within a few hours travel
of Peking, but he had not then decided
whether to enter the capital, apparent
ly awaiting the result of the fighting
in the direction of Tientsin. He was
quoted as saying he never would be
contented until ne either had captured
Chang TSo-Lin or driven him to lMuk-
den. This was taken to indicate that
he was concerned about entering Pek-
ing Immediately. although nothing
prevented him doing so.
After Chang TSo-Lin's defeat III
the Fengtai and Changsintien along
the Peking- -Tientsin Railroad between
the stations of Langfeng and Lola his
forces scattered in the vicinity OF Pek-
ing and prevent WI Pei-Fu's ad-
vance upon TientSin.
He was reported as expressing an
per at the action of his troops at
Changsintein and Fengtai, where yes
terday they retreated IN dlSorder,
leaving the way omen for an undiS-
puted march by WI Pei-Fu on Pek-
ing.
The gates of Peking continued clos
ed over night on account of stragglers
from General Chang's defeated army
surrounding the walls. The section
of Peking, inside the walls occupied
bv the Americans. became greatly eX-
cited during the night by an ATTEMPT
of the soldiers outside to ram the
gate and gain entrance. The guards
on ton of the wall dispersed the at
tacking troops with machine guns.
No foreigners were injured.

American Asiatic fleet left in an au-
tomobile Yesterday morning for Tient-

new WITNESS
SAYS BLIZZARD
Led THE MARCH
Was at Blair in Thick of
Fight and Addressed
Miners
THIRD TO TESTIFY
Each Side Contends That Evidence so
Far introduced Has Aided Its
Cause

Charles Town, W. Va. May g.
William Blizzard first defendant out
of more than 100 indicted on charges
of treason, murder and conspiracy in
connection with the armed march on
Logan county last summer, was at
Blair in the thick of the fighting two
or three days before hostilities ceased
and made a speech to the miners there,
according to Harold NJ Richards, a
mine manager. at the trial here.
Richards, who is manager of the
Operators Coal Company, at Blair,
said Blizzard stood in the steps of a
school house and told the miners to
hold their positions until the Federal
troops arrived and then to surrender.
He is the third witness to tell of Biz
yards making a speech at the Blair
school house. One witness said that
on this occasion Blizzard had eXhib-
tied a bomb alleged to have been drop
p-d by an operators airplane.
Opinions differ as to the effect of
this testimony. The prosecution holds
that j. strengthens its contention that
the miners, lead by Blizzard, stub
bornly refused to 90 home until they
had TO, on account of the arrival OF
the troops.
According to the defense, Richards
testimony substantiates its claims
that the miners held fast to protect
their women and children, and khen
assured of the protection of the Fed
eral soldiers, Immediately laid down
their arms.
Richards also told of seeing Biz
zard September 8, the day the Federal
troops came in. He said Blizzard told
him he had been up 36 hours trying
to save the boys their guns" He did
not explain what was meant by this.
When Richards testified he had ar
ranged to supply the miners with arti-
cles from the store, and the miners
paid for these goods, he Immediately
became target for attorneys for the
defense.

defense counsel, referring to prev

YOU made up your mind that these men
were in insurrection against the
State?"
Yes sir
THAT was your opinion then; your
mind was made up?"
"Yes sir"
"Then after YOU made up your mind
fully on this point, you arranged TO
furnish them with supplies"
The witness hesitated, "well, ! sup
pose So" he said.
Then you were helping the insur'
rection, weren't you?'
"No sir" the witness replied vehe-
mently.
well. how is that? How was it you
were furnishing supplies and yet not
helping the insurrection?"
Because" the witness exploded.
each bunch Of men came up to me
with pistols and rifles and told me !

would be trouble"
Richards also told how armed men
had got his men to quit work some
days before the march started.

encouraging." declares the Secretary
@Tbe demand for farm help from all
sections of the country is indicative
of the optimistic attitude OF the
farmer As there are 6,44S,OOO farms
in the country, they will absorb
amount of labor. There
are a few dark spots where there is
considerable unemployment such as
in the State of Louisiana and IN the
large ship building centres, also IN
New York City, San Francisco and
Chicago. However, the extensive
building program in New York City
will absorb all building trades me-
chanics. Chicago is engaged in a
building program, but is considera-
blv handicapped bv reasons OF the
Lands Award, which has not been
accepted. Nevertheless, conditions
are improving rapidly in these
centres.

IN CONGRESS
YESTERDAY
SENATE

Met at II o'clock and recessed at
5:35 p. M, until II o'clock this
morning.
Delay in making program on the
tariff bill precipitated several clashes
between Republican and Democratic
leaders.
Senator Watson (Republican), In
diana, boldly charged the minority
with conducting filibuster "There
is no other object and no other pur-
pose in the measures being adopted
to delay its passage" said Senator
Watson, than to delay action until
as close to the day of election as
possible.
"If the Republicans, who are re-
sponsible to the country for their
acts. will stav here to the limit of
their physical endurance, we will
quickly pass this BILL" Senator Wat
son declared by way of warning to
his party colleagues to remain on
the job
Responding to a query by Senator
Walsh DemocraD, Massachusetts.
Senator McCumber said it was the
plan to lay aside the tariff bill tenn
porarily while the bonus measure was
being considered and that. he said.
he did not think would take more
than a couple of days.
Minority Leader Underwood ad-
vised Chairman McCumber if he fol-
lowed that course the tariff bill
would not be passed until the dog
davS are over"
Democrats, under the lead of SEN
ators Harrison and King, launched
an attack on the nomination of Nat
Goldstein, of st Louis, to be a col
lector of internal revenue and pre-
cipitated a general nolitical discus
sion barring upon activities prior to
the last national convention.
Senate Republican leaders said pri-
vatelv the President would be urged
to withdraw the nomination of Cold
stein owing to alleged opposition said
to be spreading among Republicans.

GENERAL FOOD AND MILK
INSPECTION

A total of % inspections were made
of grocery stores, meat markets, tlsh
markets and wagons, restaurants and
other food and drink handling estab-
lishments. During the month, a65
lbs. of meat was condemned and des-
troyed, being unfit for human con-
sumption.
We paid particular attention to the
various dairies that supply milk to
this city, and 33 inspections were
made. The general sanitary condition
of these dairies has been greatly Inn
proved. on account of new and special
regulations issued by the Health Off
Ger. -,
Their methods of handling the milk
from the time it is taken from the
cows. until it is sealed in the hotties,
are checked up by us. The general
sanitary condition of the barns and
surroundings. the screening and care
of the milk house where the milk Is
cooled, the bottles washed and the
milk bottled. are all matters that re-
ceive our frequent inspection.
In connection with the above men
toned inspection work, we make week
w tests of the milk in our labratory
for butter-fat and bacteria count. by
this latter test. we can tell If cleanly
methods are beirg used in handling
the milk, or if the milk supply is being
carefully guarded by the Health De-
partment. All COWS must be tubercu-
lin tested before a permit to sell milk
is granted by this Department, and
they must be tested at least once each
year.
This work has progressed very nice
" during the month of April. 2lo
complaints were investigated and lS2
nuisances were abated.
Thirtv-eight sewer connections
were made during April. This Is re-
cord for this kind of work. When you
take into consideration the fact that
this means thirty-eight properties
have been made safe PAGES
for human habitation and no
Longer menace to the public health,
il is not hard to understand how i'm
nortant this work is in protecting the
public health. There is only one safe
wav to dispose Of human body waste,
and that is through sewer system.
An other methods are simply make
shifts. 1t is for this reason that we
snend much time in trying to get our
sewers extended and buildings con-
nected thereto
