The fire started some time before 7 o'clock for it ws burning fiercely before the fire department .reached, the scene and it is thought that possibly it started shortly after ihe plant was closed for the night, which was about 5:30.

T 1 NOT BE101 Investigations Fail .to Div ulge True Identities of Rioters in Herrin Strike District. GOVERNOR RECALLS MILITARY COMMISSION No: Further Trouble Expect- . J : r. eu it Mines tiemain uiosea For Present Time HERRIN, Hi., June 24.-(By the Associated Press.) With the departure of Governor Small's special military commission head ed by Major General Milton J. Poreman, and the announcement of its recommendations that no troops ' be sent into Williamson county at the present time, and that those national guard units which had already been mobilized and held in readiness, be ordered home, the situation in the coal fields was easier tonight. General Foreman, after an ac tive day of Investigation, declared that be was satisfied thai no good purpose would be served by call ing out troops at this lime. In bis statement he declared" he be ttered .that Ithe disturbed J con-1 dition in the county had. been . permanently; relieved; and that It would not recur. The only' thing. he asserted, which would . cause recurrence would be a renewed attempt to intne coal, and this he did not believe would be done. Reopening Not Favored None ct the old and established coal companies favored attempt ing to open the mines at thii time, the general declared. He said that his conclusions were based on his observations to day when he toured the county and upon talks with State's At torney Duty, Sheriff Thaxton, Coroner McCowen, Hugh Willis, district board member of the United Mine Workers of America and nearly a score of merchants. bankers and mine superintendents General Foreman declared he did not believe that the inquest to be held some time tomorrow was likely to provoke further dis turbance. The general and members of the military commission declined to say whether or not they be lieved that the civil authorities of the county had done their duty in attempting to cope with the disturbed conditions which led ui to the killings Thursday. Inquest Today Tomorrow's inquest was expect ed to end at least for the time be ing, the official Investigation of local authorities into the death of non-union shovel miners and mine guards. "Persons unknown," the indica tions are, will be officially ac countable for the deaths and it appears improbable that the iden tity of those responsible will ever be made known. Southern Illinois is inclined to conclude grimly and with finality another chapter in the long hos tility of strife and violence which has been recurrent here during the last 30 years. They Double-Grossed Us" There is something of the grim privacy of a clan feud about the thing and the fierce conviction of those who tacitly admit an inter est in this struggle that it is their affair and no one else's and inter ference should legitimately be ex eluded from "outside the state." Charges of broken faith on the part of the operators of the south era Illinois property are reiterated by the miners. "They double crossed ns and we showed 'em'.' la the general attitude. , An, Investigator for the United States department of Justice to night obtained a statement from Hugh Willis, board i member of the Herrin sub-district of the United Mine Workers of America In which Mr. WiUIslgave his ver sicn of tbe events leading tip, to the killing, of more than twenty non-union strip mine workers and (Continued on page 6 MANY CLAIM PORTION OF SLOAT PURSE Who Gets the Money to be Decided Thursday Sever- r al Already Heard From Numerous persons are showing up who aver that they have legit imate claims for the $1200 re ward offered last March for Infor mation leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who on March 5 assaulted two small Sa lem girls. v . . With the arrest of C. A. Sloat, his plea of guilty and his incarcer ation in the Btate peniteneiary, the reward is due to be paid to someone. In Salem there are at least two police officers who believe they should come in for a slice of the $1200, and also a prominent mem ber of the Cherrians. Also one or two Albany officers may want to come in, and certainly one at Mc Minnville. Others may appear. . It seems that - the Cherrian member got his tip on a trip to Newberg where an officer whom he met by chance informed him that a man named Sloat had been arrested at McMinnville and that he was sure it was the man want ed in Salem. The officer suggest ed that himself and the Cherrian ought to come in on the reward. The Cherrian was not averse and It Is reported that he gave valu able information to the police up on returning to Salem that assist ed in the apprehension of Sloat. Who gets the - reward Is to be decided Thursday. ATTORNEY SAYS STRIKE RIOTS MAY CONTINUE CH1CAG, June 24. Mine riots in the Herrin, 111., coal district are likely to be resumed on the least provocation and the mass acre of Thursday may be re-enacted at any moment, Arthur S. Ly- ntto. attorney for the Southern Illinois coal company, asserted tho legion. Mr. Lytton went into the sec tion on Wednesday when the first outbreak occurred, visiting Car bondale, Marion and other towns in Williamson county. Remorse and regret, over the massacre of miners Thursday are entirely lacking in Williamson county," Mr. Lytton said. "Dux ing my entire stay in the region and after talking to scores of peo ple, I never heard one person say they were sorry tht men had been killed. They were afraid that It might cost the county a lot of money and there was a lot of speculation about what the dam ages would be. That was the grtatest concern. "I talked to substantial citi zens of the community. They are afraid to express whatever senti ments they may have. A man who dared to say that he believed the wounded man should not have been allowed to remain nnattend ed in the road, was threatened and told to mind his own busi ness. A grocer who expressed sen timent not to the liking of miners has practically been driven out of business, I was told. Mr. Lytton said that the temper of the people was proven by the fact that they returned to tho Herrin mine yesterday and de stroyed a safe "about the only thing that was Intact." "I tried to get a. man to go to Herrin and remove v the body of Superintendent McDowell which was terribly mangled. I could not secure a person to make the trip They all told me that they had to live there and that an attempt to remove the dead body would be construed as unfriendly to the strikers."

Mrs. Delia Young, charged with complicity in the robbery of Carl Fielding, a, Portland businessman about three weeks ago in this city, today was- found guilty by a Jury In superior court.
