SOLDIERS SHOOT
TO KILL MINERS
GOLD STRIKE IX JOHANNES
BURG SOON EXDED.
Sanguinary Encounter Comes Just
Before Settlement Is Reached.
Casualties Number 100.
JOHANNESBURG, July 5. The strike
which involved practically all the gold
mines on the Rand ended tonight. Dur
ing Its brief existence anarchy reigned
in the city; there was much bloodshed
and the casualties are estimated at
more than 100. The authorities were
finally compelled to declare martial law
and during several hours today the
troops raked the streets with rifle fire.
The negotiations which brought about
the settlement were opened, this after
noon, the strike leaders agreeing to the
terms proposed. General Louis Botha,
ex-Premier of the Union of South
Africa; Sir George A. Farrar, chairman
of the East Rand proprietory mines,
and General Smith took, part in the ne
gotiations. Before a ' settlement was reached
there occurred the fiercest and most
sanguinary conflicts between the police
and the troops and the mobs that had
yet taken place. Early In the after
noon crowds gathered in front of the
Rand Club and began to stone it. They
disregarded orders to disperse and the
troops fired with deadly effect. Near
the Union Club another mob was scat
tered by the dragoons, who charge!
fiercely.
Some of the principal streets were
the scene of sharp engagements. Am
bulances were kept busy, for the sol
diers aimed to kill. Within a com
paratively short time and in a com
paratively small area about 6C rioters
were killed or wounded. The fighting
in other quarters swelled the casualty
list, it Is believed, to considerably more
than 100.

After robbing tne First State Bank
of Milwaukie, Or., of 350, at the point
of a revolver, at 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Virgil Perrine, a "hobo kid.'
aged 20, origlnaVJy from St. Louis, Mo,
lay concealed in the waters of Minthorn
Creek under a turbine powerhouse, for
two hours, while almost the entire pop
ulation of the suburb, directed by offi
cers from Portland and -Oregon City,
beat the brush around his hiding place.
Just as members cf the posse were
bringing cans of kerosene to fire the
three-acre patch of dense broom around
his lair, Perrine. driven by the Intense
cold of the running stream, showed a
hand at the verge of his cover, and was
seen by E. W. Bunnell, who gave a
yell, summoning the rest of the posse.
Shivering; Lad Surrenders.
Covered by a dozen revolvers, the
shivering youngster crawled out of the
water and delivered himself to Sheriff
Mass, who was unarmed. In one pocket
he had the revolver he had used and
In another $325 In gold. He was
bundled into an automobile and taken
rapidly to Oregon City, where he passed
the night In the city Jail. : .
Perrine had been observed ' loitering
about the bank all morning, as well as
on a ' previous day, less than "a week
ago, but no particular attention was
paid to ...him,. At 1 o'clock Cashier A.
L, Bolstad was eating his lunch In a
rear room of the bank and Bookkeeper
A. H. Zanders was at the wicket when
the youth entered. ,
Boy Cool During- Robbery.
"I did not notice him particularly,
said Mr. Zanders, "till he was right up
to me. Then I saw the gun in his
band. He seemed quite cool, as he
said: 'Hands up! Quick! I mean busi
ness.' I put my hands up right away,
and then he said: 'Walk over to the
cash and hand it over.'
"I did as he directed and kept hand
ing him money in rolls of gold and
silver till he said he had enough. Then
he commanded me to go into the back
room, and as I passed through the door
he ran. -
"As soon as he was out of the door,
Mr. Bolstad and I both ran after him,
and Mr. Bolstad fired a shot, I stayed
with the bank, and that is all I know."
Money Wanted to Go Home On.
"I Just took what my pocket would
hold," explained Perrine, after his cap
ture. "I didn't want to carry more than
I needed. I wanted the money to get
back to my home in St. Louis."
Pursuit was taken up immediately
by Mayor E. T. Elmer and others, as
the robber fled to the railroad track
and took the direction of Portland. As
the pursuit pressed close on his heels,
he turned and fired a shot at the Mayor,
which forced him and Mr. Bolstad to
drop back.
As Perrine ran he dropped a roll of
silver dollars and one of halves on the
railroad track, and they were picked
up by the pursuers. Reaching a street
on the outskirts of the town, he turned

GETTYSBURG. Pa.. July 5. The
great reunion of the Blue and the
Gray, commemorating the BOth anni

practically came to an ,end today, al
though the camp whern more than 50,
000 old soldiers were cared for during

All day long weary veterans walked
over the dusty roads and streets to the
railroad stations In the big camp and
In the town of Gettysburg, and stood
or sat around under a Bcorchlng sun
while trains to take them home were
being prepared. ;
There were no flying banners, blar
ing bands or marching columns. The
veterans came to the stations and
waited patiently for-, their trains.
It was the sultriest and most un
comfortable day of the week. One
old soldier in gray from North Caro
lina dropped dead. He was from Union
Hill. N. C. The camp was practically
deserted tonight. The electrlo lights
burned brightly In the 62 empty
streets.
The Army officers made merry to

WASHINGTON. July 6. Secretary
Bryan expects to begin this Fall actual
negotiations for concluding his- pro

of the absence from Washington of
most of the Ambassadors and Minis

Secretary Bryan expects that the -0
governments which already have

STORY TOLD IN SUN SPOTS
Eleven-Year Period Is Estab

EFFECT NOT IMMEDIATE
Possibility of Predicting Whether
Next Season Will Be Wet or Dry
Adds Interest to Studies
of Astronomer.
CHICAGO. July 5. (Special.) Dis
coveries of world-wide interest as to
the relation of the sun's heat to the
earth discoveries which may revolu
tionize the agriculture of the world .
were described Umay In an article pre
pared by Professor Edwin B. Frost, di
rector of the Yerkes Observatory at
Williams Bay. Wis.
His article Is based i observations
made during his recent tour abroa and
sums up a close tudy of the work of
scientists since the late Professor Lang
ley, of Smithsonian Institution.
Experts declare that the theory of
Professor Frost, when perfected, will
make it possible to forecast weather
conditions a season in advance. It will
be possible, they say. to announce, for
instance. In Winter weather whether
the Summer season is to be wet or dry.
The effect of this information can bo
grasped readily by the farmers.
Discovery Arouses Interest.
It Is known that the Government has
been making investigations along the
manner outlined by Professor Frost.
Professor H. H. Kimball, for the Gov
ernment, has been- making observations
at Mount Weather. In the opinion of
Professor Henry J. Cox. local fore
caster, the Government will adopt the
system of observation of the sun's heat.
Professor Cox read the article by Pro
fessor Frost with great interest.
"It Is a most valuable article and a
highly interesting one to the layman
and the scientist alike," said Professor
Cox. "The subject of the earth's ab
sorption of the sun's heat is one which
had interested the Government to a
great degree. We haven't reached the
point of using the figures set forth by
Professor Frost, but I am quits sure
that we-are going to In time. Professor
Kimball has been making observations
along this line at Mount Weather.
' Solar Constant" Ia Changeable.
"Since the work of Professor Langley
scientists have been working on the
theory. Its importance can be esti
mated by the fact that It will be- pos
sible to forecast the general weather
condition for an entire season."
In his article Professor Frost points
out that discoveries within 10 years
indicate that Professor Langley placed
the figures of the amount of heat ab
sorption by the earth at too high a
figure. He also declares that the "solar
constant" the quantity of solar heat
is a changeable quantity.
Professor Frost says In part:
"Observations for sun spots have now
been made long enough so that we
know that they are more numerous
every 11 years, slowly declining from
a maximum number to a minimum num
ber about seven years later and then
rising again to a maximum about four
years after the minimum.
