CALUMET, Mich., July 31.—Con
crted attempts to force the guard
me* established by th** militia around
•iltn* shafts, and buildings led to furth
r shooting, early this morning. So
•ar as was learned no one was hit,
• ut the sentries were continually tir
ing over the beads of men who at
tempts to pass the heavy guard
me*. Military authorities believe
that the to force the Hiiqs
hre made by persons Intent upon dam
aging property.
The 111 let ling of the strikers toward
he state troops Is growing, and every
precaution is being taken by military
officers to insure control of the sltua
ion. The roiusul of the mining com
aides to send representatives to
i nnslng to arbitrate with the union,
** suggested by Governor Ferris, is
having a bad effect, and, coupled with
’he effe« ts of their long Idleness, has
: roused the temper ol the strikers to
t dangerous degree.
Last night Cos L. of Jackson, which

line in order to hold back their as

’While this was going on at the mine

village of Bed Jacket, threatening to
I’emolish the homes of non-union
workers. They were dispersed ty

Cavalry patrols, guarding a trio or

GIRL DROWNED IN
GLADWIN PARK
Martha Massey, Aged 14, Drops
Through Manhole, To Her
Death
Martha Massey, 14-year-old
laughter of Oscar B. Massey, No.
•j ;t y Philadelphla-ave. eaßt, was
ifrowned In Gladwin park. Wednes
day afternon. when 1 she fell through
u manhole into 25 feet of rushing
water. The manhole cover, accord
ing to park officials, had not been
removed before iu many years and it
must have been either lust of mis-'
i hievous boys who removed it.
The little Massey girl was enter- |
Uining her four cousins from Frank-1
fort, Ind., Pearl, Tot, Clarence and,
Paul Stewart. The other chaldren,
do not remember very clearly what
happened. They say Martha stepped
on the cover of the manhole and then
disappeared. Half of the cover has
not been found.
• Patrolman Joseph Van Derve heard
the cries of the children, but noth
ing could be done when he arrived. '
Several bystanders cast down a rope,
but the girl’s body had been sucked
out of sight into the reservoir. Mar-,
bormaster Kling located it an hour i
later. An Inquest will be held by
Coroner Burgess.
SHEPHERD ANSWERS
GUNN AN’S LAWYER
Hugh Shepherd, in answering the
accusations of Aid. Gllnnan’s attor- .
neys against himself and the Jury
commissioners in drawing the pres’
ent recorder s court panel, said, this
morning, that nothing in the conduct
of the Jury drawing officials was with
out reason. Therefore, their actions ;
were not arbitrary and were not con- I
irary to the statute.
The main contention of Attorney
McNamara was that Glinnan s home
ward, the Eighteenth, had been ‘'arbi
trarily” excluded in drawing the Jurv
list of 600 names This, he declared,
was contrary to the statute.
Shepherd s answer was that the clt 1-
'zens of the Eighteenth ward were ex
cused from Jury duty as much to pro
tect Glinnan as to help the prosecu
tion As Thomas May, the secretary :
of the commission had said, the ex
fluslon of Eighteenth ward citizens
was to make sure that neither en
emies nor friends of the accused
would be on the list, ft was to se
cure him a fair trial not to insure bis
conviction.
“Arbitrary actions,’* as id Shepherd.
"Implies action without good reason.
Everything I did. and every thine
jury comrglsslon did in drawing this
jury vm done for good reasons."

ture While Parade to Capitol
is Under Way
WASHINGTON, July 31—An army
of peace invaded Washington, today,
and laid seige to the nation s legisla
ture. The object of the “attacking
forces" was complete suffrage tor
women to be granted by constitutional
amendment. The demonstration was
the greatest display of suffrage
strength the capital city has yet seen.
Before the day was over, at least two
fair invaders had “engaged” each rep
resentative and senator in a personal
appeal for the immediate considera
tion and passage of a constitutional
amendment which will place women
on political equality with men through
out the United States.
Delegations representing every state
in the union were in the line of march
nen the parade began there was
every indication that the Washington
police department would not repeat
the mistake it mad** on .March 3, las’,
when Insufficient patrolling of the
streets permitted hoodlums to break
up the parade by swarming into tin*
floats and carriages In which young {
and elderly women alike were tramp 1
led and In some cases subjected to
Insult.
The parader* made the pilgrimage
to Washington by automobile, by boat
and by train. Along the way they
gathered thousands of signatures to a 1
petition urging Congress to pas* Im
mediate favorable action on the pro
posed measure to give women the
vote. On floats representing the vu-1
rious states the women and girls were j
costumed to represent the figure* in
the seals of their respective states. ;

Story Told By Ambassador Wil
son To Senate Leaders May
Cause Break
WASHINGTON, July 31.—Serious
! friction impending between the sen
ate foreign relations committee, and
President Wilson and his secretary of
state, may complicate the entire Mex
ican situation.
The senate committee, it Is known
today, was seriously impressed yes
terday by Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilon'a appeal for recognition of Pre*-
! ident Huerta.
Preldmt Wilson and Secretary
Bryan have taken the position that
under no circumstances will they rec
c.gnlze Huerta. They consider that
iiis con net lon with the death of Pres
ident Mudero makes thsi impossible.
Thu position of the administration is
tuat to do so would establish a pre
cedent so that when any prominent
man in any of the Central and South
American countries became dissatis
fied with the elected ruler he could
kill him, set up a defaeto government
his own and demand American
recognition.
The president and secretary of state
want to let matters remain as they
Ar« until the Mexican Influences now
at work can see whether they can re
concile the warring elements. The
senate committee is understood to
dmaud immediate action of some kind-
It Is understood that the president
will Insist on bis own policy being
followed out and this insistence mav
result in the first real light between
the administration and the majority
jn the senate. *
Unless the preftldent consents Cos act
Immediately In Mexico his course Is
certain to be brought up for consid
eration on the floor of the senate.
There is sharp criticism in the senate
cloak room of the administration de
lay, but although he knows this the
president has refused to be hurried.
He wants a peaceful solution If pos
sible.
J The president has been told by ex
perienced army offers just what toM
intervention may be expected to take-
He realizes that It would tak flve
years and an enormous army to bring
about permanent peace In Mexico and
It was believed today thnt he would
Insist on being permitted to try out
his plans In his own way.
