 WARFARE CAUSES
 DEATH IN RIOT

 By Sunday Disorders Many Hurt in Melee
By DON E. CHAMBERLAIN

Springfield, III, Sept 26-UP)- Violence in the Illinois coal war swept into this shrine of Abraham Lincoln and left one dead and 20 injured after a battle in the heart of the city. Detective Sergeant Porter Williams, 45, was slain Sum- day as HOO miners fought with revolvers, knives and clubs.
 Half a hundred police carrying riot guns and tossing tear gas bombs, finally quelled the riot. Streets were patrolled to prevent renewal of fighting to-day.
 Police arrested "A members Of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica and lodged them in jail on charges of melting a riot. Garnett Smith, president of Herrin, Ill, To- cal union, was charged with slay- ing Williams. Physicians feared he would not recover from stab wounds.
 The outbreak started suddenly. A group of about 100 United Mine workers had met to plan reopening of several Sangamon county mines on the $5 daily scale approved by this union. Outside, HOO members of the progressive miners union, which seeks a $6.1O daily scale, gathered.
 Jeers and catcalls greeted the 100 men when they emerged from their meeting. The crowd of 1000 hurled taunts. The smaller group marched up the street toward the Leland hotel, headquarters of John l.. Lewis, international president of the union.
 Near the hotel, the picketing miners executed a flank movement and encircled the smaller group. The United miners tried to break through. Suddenly some one shot. Knives flashed. Mores hots were fired. The picket group tore boards from a fence and belabored their opponents.
 Williams fell with the first shot. He died in g hospital half an hour later. Smith, police said, admitted firing the bullet, but said his re- yolver went off accidentally as he pulled it from his pocket.
 Riot calls brought police. They found a score of men bleeding on the ground. The United union men, vastly outnumbered, were detend-

 Motorman John Bachman, who was in charge of the trolley car, suffered a slight cut on the hand, received from flying glass.
 As the trolley approached the crossing Motorman Bachman claims that he blew his whistle as warn ing to autoists. He saw a machine driven by Albert K. Bentley of Torrington come to standstill. French, however, apparently failed to hear the whistle and attempted to cross in front of the trolley. His machine was badly damaged. Oil from the auto greased the trolley rails and made it difficult for Bachman to stop the car until it had travelled nearly fifty yards.
 Albert Crosby, 25, of 30 Edward street, was given treatment at the Waterbury hospital late last eve- ming as the result of being hit and knocked down by an automobile near Lake Quassapaug.

 Whitlock reported the incident to the sheriff's office at Conyers, and said he contemplated seeking aid of state authorities to let the trucks through.
 Sheriff Joseph F. Cook of Rock dale County, Conyers, told the Uni ted Press he was powerless' to en- force the federal injunction against 75 or 100 men" and said the distributors would have to look to the state for aid.
