Dlx, N. J.
Madison, W. Va., Sept. 4. Fight
ing between armed bands and Lo-j
gan County authorities alone the
Boone-Logan County line has ceas -
ed, said Col. C. A. Martin,, com
mander of Federal troops in the lit-
tie Qoal River Valley, after a tour
of inspection today.
When lie returned To Madison,
the Colonel made the following
statement. "All fighting has stop
ped and there- are few miners left
In the region."
Colonel Martin added that sol
diers of the Nineteenth Infantry had
displaced all armed men on' the
Boone County side and in the nar
row strip of Logan County on the
ast of Spruce Fork Ridge, while
troops moving forward from Logan
bad replaced State police, county
deputies and volunteers on the. sum
mit and western slope of the ridge.
'Contact between the occupying
forces on either side had been es
tablished, he said.
.To Hunt for Dead and Wounded
During his tour today. Colonel
Martin said he was told by some of
' the men that there were a number
.-of bodies and some wounded In the
hills. . He announced that a search
ing party of soldiers would be sent
-' to investigate tomorrow.
Shortly after the. Colonel's return
from last week's troubled area, a
-special - train' comprising eight
-coaches carrying 400 men arrived
here from the Spruce Fork Ridge
region. Despite the fact that they
had been warned before leaving the
hills that they would be searched
when they arrived in Madison, 181
rifles, 80 pistols and large quanti
- ty'of ammunition was taken from
them here, officers who conducted
the search said.
As a number of the men were un
harmed when they assembled for the
journey here, soldiers tomorrow will
be sent Into the hills to look for
rifles and ammunition which the
military authorltes believe may
have been searched.
Three hundred soldiers of the
Twenty-sixth Infantry, who "came
from Camp Dlx, New Jersey, arriv
ed here Just before daybreak. They
were dispatched Immediately to the
neighborhood of Blair", beyond Shar
pies, a region in which heavy ex
changes between forces of men arm
ed with rifles have, been reported.
It was expected that troops of the
Nineteenth Infantry, encamped here
would join forces with those of the
other regiment in the early morning
and the combined force would then
set out for the mountains to police
the district.
Soldiers today were in control of
the entire valley from Madjson to
Blair. Regulars, are located be
tween these two towns and the vil
lages of Clothier, Jeffery and Shar
pies.

ERIN REJECTS LATEST ?
OFFER BY BRITISH
Plan Would Mean Split Ireland
Instead of Dominion Statu?,
Dail Says
London, Sept. 4. The reply of
the Irish Republican Parliament to
Prime Minister David Llloyd
Jects the British Government's pro
posals for settlement of the Irish
question on the ground that they
are not based on a domination sta
tus for Ireland. It leaves the way
i open for further investigations,
polnt plenipotentiaries on the basis
.i .. .
consent of the government.
The reply, stoned bv Eamonn de
,valera, which was made nubile In
London and Dublin simultaneously
today, had been preceded in the
British and Irish press by a number

very grate
situation. Perusal of the reply,
however, affords little reason to
fear Immediate breakdown of the
negotiations unless the Cabinet
Council, meeting Wednesday to con
sider it, should decide to impose a
time limit within which Ireland
must accept or reject the govern
ment proposals.
Divided Ireland Feared
The reply shows that ' Mr. de
Vulera and the Dail Eireann have
not receded in the slightest from
the position formerly adopted. It
emphasizes that the British Govern-
gent's proposals are not an invita
tion to enter into a free and willing
partnership with the nations of the
British Commonwealth, but that on
the contrary the conditions Mr,
Lloyd George seeks to imppse would
divide Ireland into two artificial anff
mutually destructive states.
It insists that the plenipoten
tiaries must enter a conference un
trammeled by any. conditions, birl
with that proviso, says that the
Dail Eireann is ready to appoint
plenipotentiaries.
Except that Mr. de Valera seems
to gnore the Prime Minister's warn
ing of danger in continued delay,
the position Is much the same as
on the occasion of the last exchange
of letters, and almost certainly there
will be a further exchange before a
real crisis arises.

Robert L. Stout of the Franklin Cir
