Democrate Delaying BUI .;
The controversy as to a filibus-
ter, which has broken out several
times since the tariff bill was
caned up two . months ago, was
renewed today -.. after , Senator
v Townsend, Republican, Michigan,
in a prepared speech, charged the
Democrats were delaying the bill
for political reason. . Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, the Dem
ocratic leader In the tariff fight,
. entered a sharp denial and the
discussion then became general
with charges from the Democ
ratic tide that the Republicans
were filibustering their own bill.
To ' support these . counter
charges, the Democrats pointed to
what they called the Republican
"sideshows .with.. monkey and a
clock," . and , to Interruptions ct
Democratic speakers on the tar
iff,, made by Republican leaders.
The filibuster controversy , wore
- out after three . hours - and the
senate got down to the tariff till,
approving, over protests of Sen
ators Smith of South Carolina and

WASHINGTON, June 24. While one man. filibuster by
.Representative Voigt, Republican, Wisconsin, was still going
strong in the house today, telegrams were sent to absent Re
publicans in all of the territory east of Kansas to hurry back
to Washington and help put it down,
t Uncle Joe Cannon described it as the greatest one-man
- filibuster in his long experience in congress. Mr. Cannon
had seen many in his day but none before, he said, where a
member relied solely upon his individual efforts to block the
business of the house, unless the-leadership could stop him
by keeping a quorum constantly on the floor. .

WITH $25,000 LOSS
Fire, which last 'night wiped out the plant and foundry
of the-W, W. JRosebraugh furnace works and for a few min
utes threatened the oil storage tanks of the Standard Oii
company1, at Seventeentli and Oak streets, did damage, es
timated at 25,000; according to a statement of W. W. Rose
braugh, president of the company.
.The insurance is very light, Mr. Rosebraugh said, hot
exceeding $2500. The plant was burned to the ground.
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.
I Mr. Rosebraugh stated that the
workmen had taken off the heat
at 5 o'clock and be advanced the
theory . that it was possible one
of them 'had dropped a j sack-to
the floor which contained a spark
of fire in it. .
Box, Care Endangered
Had it been other than a quiet
night, with no wind blowing,
Jthere.ps little, doubt that the

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

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."
