Not Even .Wornen Allowed by Sher-la Lowry to Morph—Threats Against De Armitt—The Strikers Still Gain- ing In West Virginia. Pittsburg, Aug. 18.—Martial law has to all intents and purposes been de- clared in Plum,'Patton and Wilkins townships by Sheriff Lowry. The three mines , of the New York and Cleveland Gas and Coal company are ‘in these townships, and all roads lead- ing to them will be patrolled by his deputies. Persons walking or driving along the roads who cannot give a sat- isfactory account of themselves will be ordered to leave the neighborhood, and upon refusal will be arrested. The sheriff will not attempt to break up the camp of the strikers until the court has passed on the question, but announces that he is determined to stop the marching and trespassing on the com- pany’s property. No one will be-al- lowed on the company’s property who fails to have a pass signed by Superin- tendent De Armitt. There are now ready 800 men in the camp at Plum Creek. After the mu- the camp at that point was abandoned and the men went to Plum Creek. ' In addition 200 men arrived early to- day from Bellevernon. The large in- crease in the number in camp has caused a shortage of provisions, and the men are hungry. They threatened to march during the morning, but were induced not to do so by the deputies. There was no march. Last night it was decided to have the women march, as the injunction did not include them. The order of. the sheriff to arrest all persons, however, caused a change in the programme, and there was no march. Sheriff Lowry said he would disperse the women as quickly as the men, as he interpreted the court’s order to mean to enjoin not only the men, but all who attempted to interfere with the De Armitt miners in any way by a. show of force. There were 22 evictions of striking miners near Plum Creek during the day. The evictions began at noon yesterday. Passengers on the train from Pitts— burg to- Turtle Creek says a man who gave his name as John Monroe said he was from the Osceola mine and an- nounced that he was going to kill Sam De Armitt. The claim is made that there are a number of anarchists in the vicinity of the mines who are after the De Armitts. They are not in the camp, however. ‘ Samuel De Armitt is under arrest by the sheriff. Neither he nor the sheriff will say for what, but the strikers say it is to prevent his arrest by any con- stable, which will be impossible so long as he is in the sheriff’s custody. Sixteen more men went into Plum Creek mine today. The strikers say only 29 men are at work, while the com- pany say they have 250 men. The out- put yesterday was seven cars of lump and three cars of screened coal. In the Honey Brook District. Hazleton, Pa., Aug. 18.—~The strike situation in the Honey Brook district of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre com- pany’s collieries is unchanged. No at- tempt was made to start work at the mines today. Manager Lawall was again on the ground. He arranged for a meeting with a committee Of the strik- ers, the result of which will not be made known until the men meet in Macadoo. Superintendent Jones, when seen by a reporter, stated that the“ company was ready to hear the men, but that those already discharged for complicity and alleged sympathy in the strike move- ment Could not be reinstated. He said that the company would not experience any embarrassment because its col- lieries in the W'ilkesbarre and Wyo- ming districts could supply the demand for coal. Manager Lawall declined to talk for publication. The strikers are confident of success. The unanimity of sentiment is that un- less a compromise is effected the tie up will'be a prolonged one. TheVOOal and iron police are still guar ing mines, but thus far they have not. een’molested or had occasion to arrest ansln‘gle striker. Superintendent Jones was arrested to- day on a warrant sworn out by John Hudor before Squire Daily charging him with assault and battery. This is the Outcome of Saturday’s scrimmage between the strikers and the superin- tendent. Jones entered bail before Squire Robinson in Audenreid for his appearance at court. Gains In West Virginia. Wheeling, Ahg. 1&—The strikers show . material gains in all sections of West Virginia today. In the Wheeling dis- trict there is not a miner working, while on the Ohio side of the river the last man except th0se who are to furnish coal for water and electric light plants 'will be out before tomorrow morning. In the Fairmont 'districtlthe strike leaders did‘ not succeed in closing the Montana mine entirely, but they made decided gains. The camp will be mains, tained there till the last man leaves his. work, then these recruits will be taken” with the main body to. the other Watson company's mines to help close them. In the Kanawha valley about 300 men have . gone to work since yesterday morning, but more than that number have left their work. The trouble is that the mines-are so far apart that concentra‘hd action is hard to get. In the Norfolk and Western region the or- ganizers have gone to work again with a will and in sufficient" numbers to prove effective. The leaders are studying the United States court injunctions and find, . after? careful reading, that they prohim nothing but trespass and do not apply to speechmakin'g or assemblage on publin ground. They are no longer a cause of alarm to the organizers. Decatur Miners Vote to Quit. ‘ Decatur, 12115., Aug. 18.—-At a meeting of Decatur coal miners a proposition to . quit work was carried, 86 to 50. AS about 800 miners were at work.‘yesterday it is uncertain how much effect this. will have.

Road Agents In Oklahoma Get Small Re- :; ward For Dangerous W'ork. Oklahoma City, 10. T., Aug. 18.+—Pas- senger train No. 45, south bound on the Santa Fe'road, was held up by train robbers early today between this city and Edmond. There were six or eight men in the party. _ '_ The robbers boarded the train at Ed- mond. The men were not apparently in one party, and neither the train crew nor any of the passengers noticed any- thing suspicious about them. When the train had proceeded a few miles out of.“ town the robbers began their operations. ' They held up and disarmed the conduc- tor, and while two of them kept guard over him and the passengers, the rest went through the train. Two of them climbed over the tender and threatened the engineer, John Rain, and the fireman with revolvers, and compelled them to stop the train. In the meantime there had been an exchange of shots in the express car. The express messenger ‘had been order- ed to throw up his hands and had re: sponded by drawing his revolver and firing at the robbers. He was overpow- ered and bound. The attack had evidently been aimed at theexpress car. The robbers made an attempt to blow up the safe in the car with dynamite.’_ The attempt failed, and, finding that they could not‘ gpen the safe. the thieves took whatever "of value they could lay their hands on in ' the car, got Off the train and escaped. It is said that they secured only about $500 or $600. NO” attempt was made to rob any of the passengers. The train proceeded to this city and detectives were at once put on the trail of the robbers. ' , HATFIELD YARNS EXPOSED. No Battle In an Attempt to Recaptnre the Escaped Desperado. Wheeling, 'Aug. 18.—On Saturday a story was sent out reciting that a battle had been fought between “Cap” Hat- field and his friends and Officers of Mingo county, in which dynamite and winchesters played prominent parts, three men being killed. asked Sheriff Keadle of Mingo county for a. statement of the case. The fol- lowing is his reply, dated Williamson, W. Va.: “There has been no fight with the Hatfields. We have been unable to locate ‘Cap’ as yet." The Register adds: “There have been men killed in the southern part of this ‘state in quarrels among members of the Hatfield family and others in the past, -but not one killing for fifty reported. 'Cap’ Hatfield, before his escape from jail two weeks ago, was confined for nothing more serious than involuntar manslaughter, and had only five weeks of a three months’ sentence to serve. There were no other crimes charged against him, and if he is never captured- it will not be a serious matter.” Horace G. Tennant Promoted. Albany, Aug. lS.—Secretary of State John Palmer today announced the ap- pointment of Horace G. Tennant of Schoharie, N. Y., to be second deputy secretary of state, vice J. C. Mongin removed. Mr. Tennant has been an at- tache Of the office for the past three years. Claim Against New York State. Albany.
