EVICTION SUITS BROUGHT 31 u mors of Disagreement Ret ween Miners and American l'eleration or Labor Are Quickly De nied by Officers. HOUGHTON. Mich.. Jan. 12. Pour teen fresh eviction suits, coupled with a blizzard and the first break in union ranks at Ahmeek village in the north ern part of the Btrlke district, caused Western Federation of Miners leaders to shake their heads dubiously today. Union stores, especially the one in Han cock, were crowded today and requests Zor increased fuel and food supplies were met Charity workers and Salva tion Army officers also found calls awaiting- them. Dan Bulllvan, president of the dis trict council of the Federation, said the closing: in of Winter was something; for which he and his associates were anything but anxious. Desertions at Ahmeek Tillage were 14 and half a dozen other -union mem bers were reported to have turned in their cards to the management of the Mohawk mine. Both companies are In the district that has caused most anxiety to operators and the last of the tat a troops In that neighborhood left today. Fears that trouble might arise from the withdrawal of the troops and that non-union men might be afraid to con tinue work without the moral support of the bayonet had been expressed by , officials of Keweenaw County. The blizzard, however, solved the question, at least for today. Rumors that a break Is Impending between the Western Federation of Miners and the American Federation of Labor were given considerable pub licity today, but were at once denied by labor officers. SUNT" KEPORT CALLED FALSE Statement of Federal Investigators Declared' Highly Colored. BOSTON, Jan. 12. Federal investi gators who conducted an inquiry Into the Michigan copper mine strike issued "highly colored statements in favor of the strikers," it was charged tonight by Quincy A. Shaw, president of the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company, one of the affected properties in the strike zone. Reports of the Federal Investigators were "grossly unfair and contained many misstatements," Mr. Shaw said. Continuing he said in part: "After Secretary Wilson's speech in Seattle, it was to be expected that his subordinates would make a report which would be highly colored In favor of the strikers. The publication of the report is also well timed to assist strike leaders in arousing false sympathy through misrepresentations. extracts from the report which appear In papers. If correctly quoted, contain many mis statements. "The report is grossly unfair when it states that so-called 'strikebreakers' liave been or are being imported. The company cannot afford to and will not employ men who wish, also to work for Moyer and the Federation of Miners." LABOR LEADERS TO COXFEH Compera and Mitchell to Attend Meeting In New York.

GOVERNOR ISSUES STATEMENT Amnions Says Sex and Age No Ex cuse for Woman's Acts. DENVER, Jan. 12. Governor Am nions Issued tonight a statement in which he assumed full responsibility for the arrest of "Mother" Mary Jones by military authorities in Colorado, and declared she would be held incom municado until such time as she saw fit to give her promise to leave the strike zones of the state. He said: " "Mother' Jones came to this state early in the day of the labor strife, and by her incendiary speeches stirred up rioting which resulted In bloodshed. She finally was persuaded to quit when threatened with arrest and left the state. But upon her return she defied the militia, the state officials and the Governor of the state. She was given military escort from the strike region and told not to return. Immediately upon her arrival in Denver she an nounced she would go back to Trini dad. Her whole attitude was one of defiance. "Last night she went back in dis guise, and said her return was for the purpose of saying what she pleased. This state is paying $50,000 a dav for the preservation of order in the strike regions, and I don't propose that she shall make that expenditure useless. She will be prevented from seeing any one who will repeat what she savs. Her attorney will be given permission to visit her so she can file habeas corpus petition If she desires, and . I want her to do so. "Simply because she is a woman, and an old one at that, is no excuse for her actions and is no reason why she should be permitted to stir up trouble. She will be released whenever she an nounces her willingness to leave the strike region. She can go to any town in the state and talk her head off. so long as she keeps away from the strike district. I assume full responsibility for her arrest. I had her placed in one of the best rooms in San Rafael Hospital, opposite the military camp in Trinidad, and she will be accorded the most courteous treatment." It was reported here tonight that "Mother" Jones became extremely boisterous in the hospital today and so disturbed - the patients' rest that military officers threatened to put her in a padded cell in the insane ward un less she remained quiet.

COURT RIGHT DENIED BY WEST'S COUNSEL Punishment of Governor for Copperfield Acts Declared Matter for Voters. ATTACK ON FOES IS BITTER Civil Suit for Damages lield Re course of Suloonmen-Clty Offi cials, by Attorney Collier if Executive Is in Wrong. BAKER. Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.) Following a fervent flight of oratory by Attorney James H. Nichols, counsel for the Copperfield city officials. Frank T. Collier, attorney for Governor West, Lieutenant-Colonel B. K Lawson and Miss Fern Hobbs, opened his argument in opposition to the demurrer in the famous Copperfield injunction proceed, ings today with a scathing denuncia tion of William Wlegand and H. A. Stewart, Copperfield saloonmen who are members of the City Council, with a bitter attack on District Attorney Godwin, who he charged with neglect of duty, and with a warm defense of Governor West's action in declaring martial law at Copperfield and his sub sequent action In ordering the re moval of liquor by the militia. As on Saturday, there was a packed Courthouse during the proceedings. The attorneys today filed a stipulated agreement of facts on which there has been virtually no controversy so that the court can rule solely on the points of law Involved. Power Declared Wlta Vote. Mr. Collier declared that If Governor West is guilty of any offense It Is a political offense. He said: "If the peo ple have any grievance they have the choice of three remedies, the rcall. Im peachment or refusal to re-elect him." He declared that the District At torney could, with the information in his hands, cause indictment of the Mayor of Copperfield, H. A. Stewart, for malfeasance of office, and declared that the only reason that he did not do so was because he would not. "The Governor's reason in calling out the militia," he said, "was to show to the people of the state just how ridi culous it is to have to do that when the District Attorney can do it and will not." Mr. Collier based his strongest at tack on the jurisdiction of the court. He declared that certain things among which were calling martial law and putting it Into effect, had been dele gated by the Legislature to the exec utive department of the state, and he declared that, while the executive Is forbidden to Interfere with the judicial ri1 wot- the iitlittrv let lllr.wl.A fnrhtd. den to interfere with the functions of the executive department. Oregoa Code Is Cited. Carrying out this argument he cited the code which permits the Governor to call out the militia on the "reasonable apprehension that there may be ob struction to the laws," and pointed out that the whole matter is left to the dis cretion of the Governor as to whether this reasonable apprehension exists He showed that the code permitted the Governor to call out the militia before any overt act of violence had been committed. Then, continuing, he declared that the court had no jurisdiction, holding that the Governor cannot be coerced or restrained in the exercise of his dis cretion and he further declared that if the Governor had abused the power put in his hands that it does not give the courts the right to take that power away. The ends of justice can be met, he Bald, by civil action against the Governor In case he abuses his power and he declared that, while the courts have no power to enjoin the Governor, that If the Copperfield saloonmen have been illegally damaged they can secure civil damages from the Governor. He quoted authorities from various sources in support of these contentions. Mr. Nichols. In closing, declared that this case was a hard one on which to find precedent because, as he said, the acts of Oswald West are without prece dent and are such as have never been dreamed of by any other state exec utive.

It began with small pimples, then they turned to one whole scab. The scab would break open and then It would bleed. She suffered much, for she cried night and day.
