Stewart; City Recorder Clark and Counctlmen Wlo gaud, Warner and Woodbury, who are In the saloon business, are under ur rest. Miss Fern Hobbs, Governor West's private secretary, did not declare mar tial law. Her only connection with the case was to demand of the mayor and other city officials that they sign blank resignations. This they declin ed to do, and then It was that Colonel Lawson took control and read to the assembled multitude the proclama tion of martial law which he had brought with him from Salem. A mass meeting of citizens was call ed by Colonel Lawson and he appoint ed a citizens' committee to conduct the civil affairs of the city until such time as martial law has passed.

Efforts to end the strike of copper miners by concilia tion failed. John B. Densmore, of the department of labor, so announced af ter a final effort to bring the warring interests together. He did not hesi tate to blame his failure on the un compromising attitude of the mine owners. The rock that split the negotiations and shattered the hopes of peace was the question of recognition of the un ion. ' "In a nutshell, the question was whether the union men should go back to work with or without discrimina tion the companies refused to do anything but discriminate against members of the union," Mr. Densmora said. The union's last word was an offer to withdraw the Western Federation from the field, its place to be taken by a union affiliated with the Michi gan State Federation 6f Labor, the United Mine Workers, or some similar body.

No new points were discussed, he said he and Llnd were merely mutually de sirous of a personal talk. He declined to say whether he was more hopeful now than hitherto of a Bpeedy settlement of the Mexican question. He would rather put It, be said, that the situation was little changed.

NEWS FROM OUR NATIONAL CAPITAL Money Trust Still Feared and Fight Against Interlocking Directories to Continue. Washington. omolnl Washington awmed to approve the act Ion of J. I'. Morgan & Co., in resigning from mini eroiis corporal Inn directorates, but It wuh mil believed that It would prevent an attempt In congress at the present session to enact legislation to prohibit Interlocking directorates. There was n general Impression that while the notion was a slop til the right direction, It did not signalize the breakup of the soonllod money trust. Lawyers who followed the money trust Investigation by the limine com mittee pointed out that while Murium St Co. had given up directorships in several large banks mill trust coin panics the connections severed for the most part worn with railroads.

Higher Naval Rank Essential. Congress will be asked to create four vice-admirals In the United States navy immediately after the holiday recess. Secretary Daniels said he had determined this course to avoid the possibility of embarrass ment to the American navy In foreign service. Frequently, Mr. Daniels explained, In a field Vhlch rightly should be dom inated by American Influence, a for eign officer might take first rank be cause of the failure of the United States to provide a grade ubyve that of rear-admiral.
