BLOWS
Beginning Made at Resuming
Operations of Goldfield
Mines.
ARMED MEN ARE ON GUARD
Union May Prosecute Mlneowners
for Blacklisting lVnston Says
Martial Law Will Only Be
the .Last Kesort.
GOLDFIELD, Nev.. Dec. 12. The first
day of the attempt to re-open the mines
of Goldfield without the aid of the "West
ern Federation of Miners, has passed,
and there has not been a single instance
of attempted violence or disorder. in the
camp. Unarmed pickets of the Goldfield
miners' union have approached as close
to the scene of the operations as the
armed guards of the ilineowners' As
sociation would permit and have suc
ceeded in inducing some of those who
had signed the agreement to return to
work, to violate that argeement and
leave the mines.
Gerteral Funston arrived at noon and
his coming seems to have improved the
situation greatly and to have strength
ened the constantly growing impression
thRt the fearful incidents of strikes in
other mining camps are not to be re
peated here.
May Arrest Operators.
It is stated tonight that the leaders of
tho strike have secured what evidence
they want to prosecute some of the min
ing operators under a statute of the State
of Nevada, which makes it a crime pun
ishable by a tine of not less than $M or
more than $300 or improsonment for not
loss than 20 nor more than 150 days or
both to require an employe to promise
or agree not to become a member or re
main a member of any labor organiza
tion. Arrests may be expected at any
time, it is stated by some, while -others
characterize the whole report of prob
able arrest as a bluff.
After a conference with President
Charles H. Maokinnon, of the Goldfield
miners' union. General Funston sent a
report to Waslhgton tonight regarding
the situation here. The conference was
the last of a series of conferences which
General Funston has been holding since
his arrival here today at 12:30. Governor
Sparks, Colonel Reynolds, In command of
the troops; Acting President Dowlen and
Secretary Erb of the Goldfield Mine
owners' Association, and others were
called Into these conferences, and Gen
eral Funston wasted no time in acquaint
ing himself with an outline at least of
the conditions that prevail.
Funston Explains Purpose.
While General Funston refused to say
to a representative of the Associated
Press what is contained In his report to
Washington, he said that it contains
nothing in regard to the probable length
of the stay of the troops in Goldfield.
but would be confined to the need for
them at the present time. He said:
The regulars will be here at least until
after the arrival of the Labor Commission
era rrom Washington. This means that they
nil! be here for another week, and I have
no doubt they will remain much longer than
that, or at least a portion of the number
now here will. I am hearing all sides of
the question as to the necessity for the
troops In Ooldtield at this time to preserve
peace and order, and It Is too soon after
my arrival for me to have obtained an opin
ion. My report tonight will simply set
forth my view of the situation as I have
ohtalned It from the people whom I have
eeen today.
Acting as State Militia.
It must be understood that 1 am not here
to ico into tbe merits of the dispute of the
mlneowners and the miners. That is what
the commissioners are coming from Wash
ington for. They doubtless will go deeply
into the merits of the grievances of both
sides, but I am simply going to determine
whether the continued presence of the
troops, or at least a part of them. In Gold
field will prevent disorder and riot and
bloodshed. I am convinced that the pres
ence of the troops thus far has been a
necessary precaution.
Martial law should be a last resort, and
I will not advocate it until there has been
some great violence committed and the lo
cal authorities have proven themselves un-.
able to stop any outrages, such as the de
struction of life or valuable property. Hither
the president or the Governor of the state
must declare martial law, and. In the event
that It be the Governor. I shall consider
that the regulars are at his service, just as
would be the State Militia, provided Ne
vada had such an institution. In fact, it
is my lde that the regulars are here to
lake the place of a State Militia during the
present crisis.
Colonel Reynolds remains in command of
the troops now encamped here, and I am
liere to make a report on the situation and
to direct things In the event of serious
trouble.
No man can say what amount of trouble
is to grow out of this situation, of course,
but 1 am trying to get at the possibilities
for trouble, and for that reason I sought
n interview with President Macklnnon and
other leaders In the local miners union In
order to hear their side of tt and to judge
for myself of their frame of mind and dis
position to bring about any disturbance.
Tnlon Against Violence.
General Funston did not visit the mili
tary camps until late In thu afternoon,
and it was nightfall before he could find
time to go over the ground and acquaint
himself with the lay of the land and the
location of the mini's and mills'.
Mr. Macklnnon stated after the inter
view with General Funston that he told
the general that he and the other officers
of the Goldfield Miners' Union would do
all in their power to prevent trouble of
any kind, and he pointed to the fact that
r.o attempts have been made today to
molest any of the men who have deserted
the union and gqne back to work in the
mines.
The number of men who today ' re
nounced nllcgianre to the Western Fed
eration of Miners and returned to work
Is given out as 66. A visit to the mine and
mill of the Consolidated Company, where
the majority of the men were said to be
at work, failed to discover thip number,
and it is known that a few at least of the
men who signed the agreement to go to
work were Induced In a quiet way by the
members of the union to reconsider their
action and remain with the Western Fed
eration. No Instance of violence Jielng uwed. or
even of Intimidation or threats developed.
An attempt to operRte the Goldfleld-Ne-
vada Reduction Company's plant failed
on account of lack of men, who failed to
kep their agreement.
The Nevada-California Tower Company
has been able to Keep its plant in full
working order today and tonight, al
though every one of tho local electricians
and electrical workers of all kinds have
walked out on account of the reduction In
their wages and no pkllled men have been
secured as yet to take their placax-
ily who escaped in their night clothes.
The house was worth $1600 and there was
$500 Insurance on the property.

Peter J. Girard, Argonaut, Indian
Fighter and Hoqnlam Pioneer.
HOQUIAM. Wash., Dec. 12. (Special.)
Peter J. Girard filed at his home in

aged 67 years. Funeral services will be
conducted Sunday afternoon. Deceased

Girard. S. A. Girard, Mrs. Eugene E..
Parker and John G. Girard, all of Ho
quiam. Mr. Girard was born in 180. at 9t.
Joseph, Mo., being one of a family of
eight. In 1860 he joined the stream of
argonauts flowing westward and landed
In California. In company with a brother
he prospected in California and discov
ered what was later known as tbe fa
mous "Moors Kangaroo Mine.' Finally a
roving disposition took hold of him again
and he left the mine. Shortly afterward
the murdered body of his brother was
found in a sluice ditch and the mine
which he had discovered later' sold for
$5,000,000!
in 1863 Girard arrived in Portland, and
in 1866 went to Canada and prospected
some time along Fraser River, finally
leaving for San Francisco. He took
passage with 1500 others on the steamer
Pacific, Captain Burns. Shortly after
leaving Cape Flattery the vessel sprung
a leak and was 52 hours oft the Cape
while heroic efforts were made to stop
the leak. Captain Burns finally took the
ship back to Victoria, with nine feet of
water in her hold. Girard gave up his
trip to California and took passage for
Olympla on the steamer Eliza Anderson.
During hia early life in the West Girard
took part In many Indian campaigns and

was known as an Indian scout of some
renown. He took an active part in aveng
ing the Owyhee Canyon massacre in
Oregon, and led the soldiers against the
Indians. He was also with Major White
at Boise and Silver City during the In
dian troubles there, and was for several
years a partner of "Wild Goose Bill," a
well known character of the Coast, who
died recently. He also took part in the
Indian battle of Steptoe Butte.
Girard came to Puget Sound again in
1880 and logged a portion of Vashon
Island, and also at other points on the
Sound. He was married in 1S84 to. Emma
Megler and came to the Harbor and set
tled in Hoquiam.the same year. He was
one of the pioneers of the Grays Har
bor country and has always been promi
nently identified with city and county
politics. In the early days he served as
United States Deputy Marshal and In
that capacity was a terror to evildoers.
He was especially active In ferreting out
smuggling operations on the harbor, and
made several large captures of contra
band opium.
WANTS TO 8KB A WARSHIP
South Bend Asks for Visit of One
Vessel to That Harbor.
SOUTH BEND, Wash.,Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) At the meeting of the Commercial
Club yesterday the suggestion was en
thusiastically adopted that South Bend
make a vigorous effort to secure a visit
from one of the battleships which com
prise the squadron that will visit the Pa
cific Coast next May. A committee was
appointed to take up the matter with the
Congressional delegation. There are so
few harbors north of San Francisco that
there should be one ship to spare for
South Bend. - .
No war vessel of the United States
Government has ever visited the harbor
except the monitor Monterey, which was
here 11 years ago, and the occasion was
made a memorable one. Another reason
which will be advanced for the visit of
such a vessel here will be to investigate
the need of some fortifications to protect
the interest of the harbor.

coet of $15,000. The City Recorder has
made a call for sale of bonds on Jan
uary 10, to-the amount of $25,000.

Mrs. . Longworth. Undergoes
Critical Operation.
UNDER HER FATHER'S ROOF
Daughter of President Sacrifices
Appendix to Health Is Steadily
Recovering Roosevelt Takes
It Coolly and Plays Tennis.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12. Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, daughter of President Roose
velt, wag operated on for appendicitis
at. the White House this morning. Dr.
Rlxey. at 11:30 o'clock announced that
the operation on Mrs. Longworth. waa a
success in every way.
The operation was performed at the
White House, by Dr. Finney, of Johns
Hopkins Hospital. Baltimore, assisted by
Dr. Sophie Xordhoff-Jung, of this city.
Mr. Roosevelt left his office and was
at the scene of the operation until it had
been completed. . On- being informed that
it had -been successfully accomplished
and that the patient was in no danger,
he returned to his office and took up
his routine work.
- At tho conclusion of the operation. Mrs.
Longworth . emerged from the influence
of the anaesthetic in a very short time,
and after exchanging a few words with
Mrs. Cowles, her aunt, and with her hus
band, she fell asleep naturally and en
joyed a nap lasting two hours. Her con
dition was such that Mr. Roosevelt felt
little apprehension, and in fact did not
hesitate to engage in his afternoon ten
nis game with Ambassador Jusserand,
Glfford Plnchot and Assistant Attorney
General Cooley.
The preparations have been making for
the operation for nearly a month, it be
ing known during that time that Mrs.
Longworth was suffering from incipient
inflammation of the vermiform appendix.
About a week ago preparations were be
gun for the operation, which it was
deemed expedient to undertake before she
had suffered a loss of strength that
would be sure to ensue from a severe at
taek of appendicitis.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon It was an
nounced that Odrs. Longworth was rest
ing easily and the physicians were en
tirely satisfied .with the progress Bhe is
making.

"Mrs. Longworth has had a compara
tively comfortable day. Her general con
dition is satisfactory. Bulletins will be
issued during the night."

Appendicitis
How to Avoid It and Escape a Sur
gical Operation, Told Ty Ono
Who Knows. '
A Simple Method That Is Always
Efficacious.
It has only been a few years since It
was discovered that a surgical opera
tion would cure appendicitis; In fact.
It has been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and named.
Whenever there is an inflamed con
dition of the appendix, caused by Im
pacted faeces in the small cavity open
ing into the Intestine, you then have
appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
inflammation of the bowels, and were
puzzled to know the cause.
Even now, with all the knowledge we
have of the disease, no medical man
can tell you why we should have an
appendix, why we find It where it is or
what are its functions, if it has any.
The disease for which the operation
is a cure is usually caused by indi
gestion, and in many oases follows a.
large, and Indigestible meal.
Physicians, have until recently rec
ommended an operation, but now, as it
is known that it is caused by indiges
tion, or dyspepsia, a cure without an
operation is assured.
Where the patient is treated with
Stuart's Dyspepsia - Tablets, the un
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear, the stomach and intestines
are. placed back in their normal con
dition, every organ of the body operates
as it should,' and the Inflammation is
reduced and the operation is avoided. .
Conscientious physicians, who are
looking after the best interests of their
patients, will always keep a supply of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy-in
their office, where In cases of sudden
attacks of indigestion they can relieve
the patient at once.
There is no record of a case of ap
pendicitis where the stomach and bow
els were in a healthy condition and
properly digested the rood from meal
to meal. -
No better advice can be given to any
one who has attacks of indigestion, or
who has been threatened with appendi
citis, than to tell him to go to the drug
store, pay 60 cents and taka home a
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach
or bowels, heart disease or stomach
troubles, sour eructions, acidity or fer
mention is present, act at once. Take
a dose of the Tablets and get relief as
soon as possible.
At all druggists 50 cents.
