SI'PPRESSKD EXCITEMENT .
There was Intense t>lit *oppreßsed ex- |
riiement -4?er#- today over the Texpected j
arrival of troops In th« Goldfleld. camp
tomorrow mornlngr.' The mtnerß' -union
hall wae fllled all day and a crowd
filled the .sidewalk and streets In front.
There has' been no demonstration to
*peak of, although threats have been
made by hotheads as to what they will
do to the town after the troops arrive.
The miners Have thought that the re-,
r>orts of troops were -all- a- bluff. !n-|
lended to intimidate them, and' they |
have only come to a realization of the ;
real situation within the past few I
hours. They seem disconcerted and
nonplussed, as events have happened
too fast for them, and were unpre
pared for the turn In affairs. r .
President McKinnon of the union, a
brother in law of William D. Haywood,
is in charge of the miners' campaign,
yt. John has been in the hospital for)
several weeks as a result of a gunshot |
wound received in a duel between him
self and another labor leader, but he is|
ready for duty now. Uodebush and )
other agitators, who were released on
ithe charge of conspiracy to murder
several weeks ago, on the agreement
that they would leave camp and never
return, are on the scene, having ar
rived within a few days.
Sheriff Ingalls and his force are dis
gruntled at the coming of troops, and
this afternoon" he disappeared, taking
precaution* that his whereabouts be
rot known. It is conjectured that his
action has an important bearing on
the present situation. Before he left
the sheriff said he knew of no trouble
in Goldfleld and that the call for troops
was made over his head.
MIERIFF FRIENDLY TO UXIOXS
The sheriff and his forces have been
charged by the mine owners as being
more than friendly to the miners. He
is one of the owners of one of the
largest saloons and gambling places in
Ooldfield, largely patronized bs r the
miners. Last spring during the strike
hundreds of striking miners were
sworn in as deputiw* and armed. It
was because of their mistrust of the
sheriff that the mine operators appealed
to the governor direct.
Under f heriff Bert Knight and nearly
all the county officers signed a protest
against troops being called to Gold
fleld and sent it to the governor.
MEANS rEIOIANE.\T GARRISON
It is understood by the mine oper
ators that the coming of troops means
a permanent garrison at Goldfleld.
There are no federal troops or militia
in the state. It is declared that Hie
pl3n has been under consideration for
a number of months and that appeals
have been made by mine owners
throughout the state for action by the
war department.
Lit tie of the details can be gathered,
but It !s understood that the post will
be a branch of the Presidio and that lr
will be a regularly established military
post. The statement was made that i
the post would have been established
In a few months and the troops were
being hurried to Goldfleld ahead of
time to prevent the possible outbreak
of violence In the attempt on the part
of the owners to open the mines.

Governor Sparks today, signed by va

Funsfon Sends a Report on
the Conditions at Goldfield
Says There Is Danger of Violence
Before tbe Troops Arrive
WASHINGTON, Dec 6. — In compliance
with President Roosevelt's order Brig
adier General Funston, commanding j
the department of California, made
prompt preparation to have troops
started for the Goldfield, Nov., mining
district, where trouble is threatened '
because of the difference between the
r.iirif-rs and mine owners.
General Funston advises the war de
partment he has ordered five companies
from Fort McDowell and four com
panies, with a machine gun platoon,
without animals, from Monterey, all of
the Twenty-second infantry, in com
mand of Colonel Reynolds, to go to
tho disturbed district. He says that if
conditions are such as to make it ad
visable he will go to Goldfield him
self. By rapid transit the scene of the
trouble can be reached in about 18
hours.
In his dispatch to the adjutant gen
eral of the army General Funston says:
I have just conferred with a prominent tain
:ns operator of Goldfleld now here, a man
rbflrmijtlT fiimiliar with all matters there. He

make it in •£. I feel that I should 'inform the
department that every morning paper in Ran
Franrisco knew that the department had wired
within thre* hours after receipt by me of the
message. The information came from their
Washington correspondent*.
Acting Secretary of War Oliver to
day made publii i*l of the correspond
ence, so that the facts Impelling the
ordering of troops to Goldfleld might
be known. lii addition to General
Funston's first dispatch, announcing
that he had intended to send two com
panies In the first place to Goldfleld,
came later correspondence, .showing
that upon inside Information as to the
situation in that mining camp "It had
become apparent that a much larger ;
force would only invite attack or re
sistance by the riotous element, when
an overwhelming force would Insure
peace by making It apparent to the
lawless element that resistance would
be hopeless.
Following his first dispatch, above
referred to. General Funston last night
telegraphed the adjutant general for
authority to hire transportation for his .
troops in Goldfleld and vicinity. He
Bald: "Should it be necessary to send
any there, I deem it inadvisable to ship
any wagon transportation with the
troops, unless a considerable number
ohou'd be sent."-
This was taken to mean that,' while
the troops could be transport&d to
Goldficld by rail, some means of trans
portation would have to be found on
arrival at tb^at place for the rations,
ammunition, machine guns and other
supplies and, perhaps, tentage that
would be sent with the troops.
General Ainsworth dispatched the
following telegram to General Fun
ston:
Governor of Nevada baa called for troops to
be sent to Golrtfield. The president directs
that you Immediately send there such number of
troops as you consider necessary to cop« with
the situation effectively and finally. Go your
self if you think b«st. You are authorised to
hire necessary transportation. The president
directs that the troops be sent with the least
possible delay. Act promptly and report action
by telegraph.
Then followed General Funston's dis
patch saying that he had ordered nine
companies of soldiers from Ban Fran
cisco and Monterey to 6tart this morn
ing for Goldfleld.

WASHINGTON. Dee. 6.— A situation
of the utmost and" immediate" danger
at Goldfleld, Nev., is revealed in the
official correspondence between ; Gov
ernor Sparks of that state and the pres
ident. Just made public The governor's

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.!
Blames William D. Haywood
for tbe Strife at Goldfleld
Monnette Says There Will Be Split
in Miners' Union, or Open Shop
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.— M. J. Mon
nette, president of the Los Angeles-Ne
vada mining exchange and one of the
big operators of Goldfleld, in an in
terview today laid the whole blame for
the present situation in Goldfleld upon
William D. Haywood. Monnette Is
quoted as follows:
All of the present trouble at Goldfield is due
to U»e activity of William D. Heywood, secre»
tary-treamrer of tbe western federation of min
ers. It was doe solely to bia Influence tbat the
miners' union there refused to accept checks on
the Goldfield banks In part payment of their
water* koine time ago, and at a meeting of the
miners be urged them to refuse these checks.
I am satisfied tbat 73 per cent of the members
of the union were not in sympatb- with him lv
this move, but they seem to be so thoroughly
under tbe control of a few leaders that they have
been afraid to take independent action. Many
of these ruen are anxious to return to work, and
in my opinion there will either be a split hi the
union in Goldficid or the open nhon rule will
prevail in all of the large mine* there. - Tbe
mine owners' association is determined tbat it
will no longer submit to tbe arbitrary dictation
of a few union agitators. , \.
The mine owners at Goldfleld have never an
tagonized tbe union. A year ago they ended a
strike there by granting all 'Ibe men asked for.
and tbe records will show that they have always
shows a willingness to treat their employes
fairly and to adjust any grievances which they,
may have. And, as I said before. 1 am thorough
ly convinced that fully three-fourths of tbe min
ers are disposed to act in tbe same spirit toward
the owners of tbe properties. There are about
40 or 60 men there, however, who seem best
upon stirring tip trouble all the time and their
Influence so far has outweighed that of the con
servative members of tbe union.
Last spring an agreement was entered into
between the mine owners and the miners to tbe
effect that for two years there should be no
strike, provided tbe present scale of wages was
maintained, except iv case of a referendum vote,
wblcb should eUow two-tblrds of the members of
tbe union to be In favor of a walkout. Thia
agreement has been violated jby . tbe . present
strike, and tbe mme 'owners have come to tbe
conclusion that it would be useless to enter Into
any more agreements. \
The wages : now paid at Goldfield are about
$1 a day higher than those exacted by the min
ers in any other district In Nevada-, and further
more, the. miners work an hour a* day less than
do those at any of- tbe other camps. Notwith
standing this. Her wood and his clique of aglta.
tors lose no opportunity to cause troublefor the
mine owners and finally the latter have deter
mined to take a band In the management of
their own properties. •
One of two things is certain to happen within
a short time — either there will be • split In the
union and the conservative members will refuse
longer to follow the lead of the trouble breeders,'
or tbe mine owners will Institute an open chop
policy. .** I' . .- i-;~

RAILRDAD CHIEFS NEAR
BLOWS DURING HEARING
Mellen of New Haven and
Baer of Reading Clash
in Washington
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIX •
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.— President
Mellen of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad and President
Baer of the Philadelphia and Reading
almost came to blows before the inter
state commerce commission today. The
trouble in brief was this:
The New Haven has given notice to
the Reading, the Central of New Jer
eey and the Baltimore and Ohio that
after December 17 its traffic arrange
ment via Jersey City and Harlem will
"be canceled. The NeW Haven's' wish is
to avoid the water transportation by
having traffic handled via the Pough
keepsie bridge. It is the contention of
the other roads that this is a round
about route. The other roads are ask
ing the interstate commerce commission
to certify the facts to the federal courts
so" they may bring injunction proceed
ings against the New Haven. Mellen
in his statement to the commission
said:
"Mr. Baer bought the Btock .of the
Lehigh and Hudson to keep me from
getting it."
Bacr said Mellen was mistaken, but
said it In a manner that carried all the
weight' of the shorter and uglier word.
Mellen retorted that Baer himself' was
the authority for the statement, having
made it in, the offlce of the. late. Presi
dent Cassatt'of ttie Pennsylvania,
There is' an Intimation that'th« com
mission will advise that the New Haven
postpone action for a few months.

DEEM 380 MEN BEAD
IN MINE EXPLOSION
Continued from Paste 1» Column 1
explosion occurred, and at that hour
even the latest, of the straggling force
is customarily i* at work, according to
mine officials. "
This accident Is said to be the first
wherein a loss of life occurred by ex
plosion in the history of the region
comprising some 60 mines owned and
operated by the Consolidated coal com
pany. In an exploslon^at the Berry
burg mine, 40 miles south, owned by a
tributary company, 19 men Jost their
lives two years ago.
MINE MOST MODERN
No. 8 mine was opened up two years
ago and was considered the most mod
ern mine in. central West Virginia. It
was entirely equipped with electricity
and considered absolutely safe. Elec
tric motors were used, while the .mine
throughout was electrically lighted and
electric mining machinery was used
entirely.
The town of Monongah has a popula
tion of about 6,000, and while for, the
most part £he miners are of foreign
birth, there are still many American
workmen. Possibly the largest steel
tipple in the state is located at Monon
gah.' The mines He on both sides of the
West Fork!:rlver and are connected by
a steel pier bridge owned and operated
by the coal company.
The coal company is one of the larg
est companies of the kind in the coun
try and is capitalized at about $20,000,
000. They- have upward of 100 produc
ing properties. Clarence W. "Watson is
the president'with headquarters in Bal
timore. -
Mining experts, a large corps of phy
sicians and others familiar with mining
matters hold out practically no hope
to waiting friends that a single person
in the mine at the time of the explo
sion has escaped death.
