Illinois Coal Company at daylight and
IN a camp captured more than a hun
dred non-union mine workers.
Some terrible scenes and sights
have been Witnessed by the Associat-
ed Press correspondent in going
through the country where the disorder
occurred. At one point he saw six
men lying in the road, tied together.
They were terribly mangled wounded
by bullets and bruised and had. it was
said, been dragged to the spot they
lay behind an automobile. A crowd
OF hundreds of men and women looked
on as the suffering men lay their moan
ing and begging for water. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent rushed off
TO get them the drink they crayed
but returning with the water he was
driven off at the point of guns. One
woman, with baby in her arms plac-
eu neT IOot on one OF the wounded men
and said: "Pll see you in hell before
you get a drink of water"
Darkness last night forced cessa-
uon for the time of the fighting that
had gone on for several hours between
strikers or strike sympathizers and
non-union miners. Thousands of shots
We're exchanged. In the darkness that
caused the cessation of firing, thou
sands of persons, many of them arm
ed, rushed to the mine, the resulting
confusion making it impossible to
check up on reports until after day
light.
The disorders followed the receipt
OF telegram from President Lewis of
the United Mine Workers that the
men working in the mine of the South
ern Illinois Company were common
strike breakers" Union leaders deny
having killed ANYBODY.

Hawaiian Wanted
AS Member Land
Board by Maui
Republican Committee and
Governor Not in Perfect
Accord as to Member to be
Named on Commission

Sam e. Kalama or Charles Wilcox
for member of the land board is
the recommendation to the Governor
of the Maui Central Republican Com
mlttee. AT meeting yesterday it
again refused to endorse Worth O.
Aiken for commissioner.
Prior to the special election for de
legate to congress the Governor ex-
pressed his desire to name Worth O.
Aiken to the land board and asked
l.. M. Judd of the Territorial Com
mittee to present the subject to the
Maui delegation. At meeting in
Wailuku the Maui delegation declined
10 act favorably on the suggestion
and letter was sent to the Cover
mar to that effect by the old county
committee. The Governor again
wrote to Mr.. Judd and said there
appeared to be misapprehension
and the objection voiced to the pro
posed appointment was not good
one. Mr.. Judd again wrote to Maui
and the action of the new County
committee yesterday was the answer.
In making the recommendation the
committee added that it believed a
Hawaiian should be a member of
the board and it made it's recommen-
dations in. that belief Neither Ka
lama nor Wilcox is seeking the ap-
pointment but the committee named
them never the less.
Other Recommendation
In the making of appointments, ac-
cord1ng to resolution passed at the
meeting, Maui favors the naming of
Republicans where competent appli-
cants OF the dominant party are TO
De found, otherwise the reappoint-
ment OF Democrats who have shown
competency. 1t recommended the
reappolntment of Postmasters Costa
ana Silva as there were no Republi-
cans applying for appointment. A.
Garcia's name lad been mentioned
Tor Wailuku but he withdrew it. He
was recommended for chairman of
the registration commission to sue

ing.
