Today, with lead men's bodies In the valleys and n the mountains and with thousands if miners thirsting for revenge, It la is much a war as that which reddens he sell of Mexico or the sands of Tripoli. Every lead of my investigation of lauses leads directly to the guard sys em, to the conduct of the army of ;uards the Baldwln-Feet concern of Itaunton, Va., put Into the field the nlnute the strike started. Early one morning In June a com pany of guards came down on the tallan settlement at Banner. Lining ip the ignorant foreigners the leader aid: “If you don’t go to work we’ll ilow |our brains out!” That guards then began the work of From bouse to house they rent. r. “Go to work or get out!’’ they relied! gnd threw furniture and all tat oi windows and doors. Half* tbs village was at breakfast. Cvery paeal was thrown Into the road. Ita Ton v Bevlller’s cabin they came. ’Get out!” they roared. Mrs. Sevlller ras in bed. Roughly they ordered ter out. Ernest Goujot was the guard leader. 2Mrs. Sevlller's baby was born soon ifter in a tent furnished by the na ional mine workers. Six other babies have been born n those tents down at Holly Grove, he only land not owned by the mine lompagiee, and where several thou and people live In tents. I have looked up the record of this Joujot, captain of the guards. He was ri the West Virginia penitentiary for nurdert and waa paroled. Then he olned 'the Bald v a in-Felts gang of gbor fighters. In the 1902 strike he, rlth a squad of guards, shot up Stau ord. Three women, seven children ind a score of men were killed in heir beds. Now he leads the mine guards In he dare-devil campaigns. His irifen ire on the average about like him. Janjr are proved ex-convlcte. Once in i while a respectable man gets to be i mine guard. One auch, Davison by lame, quit.

During the services the guards wooped down and threw the furnl ure out of the cabins of the mourn re, arriving at the cabin next door o the church Juet as the body was •sing carried out. “You won’t have any more funerals iere,’’ a guard shouted, “that church lelongs to the company!” And to the une of the tolling of the bell they Inished their Job and cleaned out he Robinson cabin thoroughly while »e hearse was at the cemetery! Every miner In the field has been victsd ind unlawfully, because not n hour or a single minute's notice ras given. Women and children often rere pushed out into rains and into he night, to walk down the creek to he only spot of land pot owned by nine companies. Even the roada are iwned by the companies, and mine }lks have been arrested for walking in them. The miners can't even swim ip the creek without trespassing, for he water belongs to the companies. In front of one little church, the [uards put up their machine gun, olnted toward the church door. That ras early one Sunday morning. When he children began coming to Sunday chool they were frightened and ran ack home. They went for Miss Katie Winfrey, the teacher and she ame with them to the church. “Pleased take the gun away until Jter Bungay school,’’ she begged of he guards ' “You fqlks ain’t got any right to ome a guard replied. /There haven’t been any services In oat church since then.

Among the widely known vaude ville entertainers must be mentioned Mr. Harry Houdinl, whose celebrated teate with handcuffs, straight-jackets and various restraints used to confine the Insane and fractious are recalled by almost every one. The public al ways seems'to be interested In eeeing the “other fellow” get sway from a light place, so that It !■ little wonder that Houdinl’g audiences are always large. Our attention has recently been at tracted to a number of feats which ho has boon performing In Now York and other cities, the culmination of which perhaps Is the aquatic box trick which we will now describe. The Box Trick. Sunday, July 7, Mr. Houdinl Invited a party of newspaper men end those Interested In magic, to / witness a vory remarkable box trick on New York Bay. This event was scheduled to take place at a pier on the East river, but owing to police Interference the scene of operations was transfer* red to the deck of a large lighter which was towed to the dock of the quartermaster’s department at Gov ernors Island. As this was federal property the police oould not inter fere with this act. A large wooden box, forty Inches long, twenty-two inches wide and twenty-four Inches high, was provid ed. This box was carefully examined and no indication of panels, bolts or eprlngs was detected. After removing his outer clothing, and after a committee had seen that he did not have any concealed keys or devices for picking the locks of the handcuffs, he submitted cheerfully to be manacled with leg Irons, two pairs of handcuffs and elbow irons. Any of the spectators had the privilege of bringing their own handcuffs If they so desired, as Houdinl does not care about furnishing articles of this kind when be Is making his more import ant tests. Escape Apparently Impossible. The cover of the box was removed and Houdinl crouched In it in a stoop ed position somewhat resembling the doubling up of a Jackknife. The cover was then nailed In place with thirty six wire nails and the entire box was banded with band iron. or. as It is technically known, “packed for ex port.” On each side a length or iron sewer pipe was tied and Iron sash weights were Introduced Into the plp«» thus affording a convenient method of weighing down the box so as to cause it to sink to th« level of the water. Two hundred pounds of iron was used. Holes had been bored in it to permit the extrance of the water so that the box itself could be readily submerged. The box was then carefully roped so that no escape from It could have been possible had.-the nails and band irona been non-existent or have given away. Some of the planka from the lighter were removed and the box was shoved out on them and was finally dumped In the water. In exactly a minute and ten seconds Houdinl emerged from the water, swimming toward the lifeboat which had been provided. The act was witnessed by thousands of spectators who crowded the decks of three ferryboats. »' The Manacles In the Box. The box was hauled onto the deck with the aid of one of the spara of the lighter and the box was carefully ex amined. Nothing was found In It ex cept the useless manacles which had failed to bind Houdinl under the most adverse conditions. Considering the danger of this feat and the entire ab sence of any paraphernalia such as traps, etc., it appears to be all the more wonderful. This may be regard ed as one of the most remarkable trlcka ever performed, and It is only regretable that a feat of this magni tude cannot be tried before a larger gathering of spectators. , Houdinl’s box tricks, hta milk can trick and similar entertaining feata will not appeal to the average person as much as his bridge dives which NEW ENGLAND PIES LiKoMa.MeJCe/ Because THEY ARE HOME MADE.

THE DETROIT TIMES: FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1912. . have taken place In all parts of the world, in on* instance Houdlnl’s bands were manacled behind his back and his arms also confined by elbow Irons. He then made an 89-foot jump. This was at Sydney, Australia. Houdinl struck the water at the wrong angle. » Blood flowed from his nose and mouth. This goes to show that the career of the professional strong man. Jail breaker and handcuff king has not been altogether unfraught with danger. Several of his Imitators have tried similar feats with disastrous 're sults, such as broken ribs, and even two of them paid the penalty with their lives, being drowned with the manacles still on their wrists. Owing to the uncertainly of an act of this kind If unsuccessful It would be al most impossible to rescue and resus citate a person before he Is drowned. We do not pretend to give any ex planation of Houdinl’s performances. We can only say Jhat he states that most of the public exposes of tricks of this kind are absolutely worthless, as they would not work In practice under the severe conditions of a com mittee of examination. —Scientific Am erican. “1 never worry or hurry.” “What department of the govern ment service are you In?" 4 1* Why Not Do It in a Sanitary Way?

GIVES UP LIFE RATHER THAN RUN DOWN CHILD NEW YORK, Aug. 9—Rather than run down a little child, Henry Disth ler, a moving picture operator, while riding on hta motorcycM turned the machine to one side and crashed Into a trap. He wus killed Instantly. The accident happened at Chauncey-at., near Howard-ave., Brooklyn. Disth ler was 25 years old aud lived at No. 2GS Covert-et. The name of the child for whose life he sacrificed his own could not be learned. Disthler was riding at a fast clip, but when approaching Howaid-ave., he slowed down. As he did so a lit tle girl, about five years old, attempt ed to cross the street. The child was directly In the pAth of the on-rushing machine when Disthler saw het dan ger. He could not stop and turned the motorcycle toward the curb. He clear ed the frightened child, but the ma chine crashed Into s big tree. The force of the collision threw Disthler over the handle bars and he was hurl ed to the sidewalk. Dr. Walenta of the Bushwlck hospital said he died Instantly. SEPARATE RAILROADS AND INDUSTRIES.

' "He was an iron master, not a stock broker and a high class gambler.” The holding company and the pro tective tariff were pointed out as the bulwarks of the steel trust's strength.
