calling ho being In charge of the police
eyetem of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway , and I In charge ot the pollca
department of that portion of the city of
Chicago through which mcjt of said road , In
side the city limits , runs brought us Into
such close and frequent contact with one
another as gave mo a rare opportunity of
acquiring a thorough knowledge of the man ,
Iila character , ability and method ot doing
business.
Wo have worked together on many cases
and I never met any man whoje suggestions
I would as readily act on aa his.
HU resourcefulness In expedients for copIng -
Ing with criminals Is most remarkable ,
either In anticipating and thwarting their
nefarious designs or In effecting their cap
ture and securing evidence on which to con
vict thorn , should they perchance aucceed In
committing their depredations , and no bettor
evidence 'In proof of this can bo produced
than the fact that amongst the croaked
fraternity front the Atlantic to the Pacific
and front the Canadian'to the Mexican
borders , particularly amongst the branch
Icnown as "railroad grafters , " the watchword
Is "keep away from the St. Paul road while
aiartln , Whlto Is connected with It , as ho
can neither bo bought nor fooled with. "
This I have learned from more than one
note.d. crook while In my custody , undergoing
the "sweating" proceta and my long and wide
experience In dealing with crlmlnala enabled
me to Judge correctly that they wore telling
mo the truth.
No higher tribute to hln ability as a de
fective and hla honesty as a man , could be
paid him than the admissions thus Inad
vertently made by these crooka. And as
proof that their watchword U to thorn no
unmeaning one , the records of the police de
partment of this city will show that a
report of a theft from pafsengers on. the St.
Paul road within the city llralte , at least ,
U a very rare thing Indeed.
As evidence of his ability to handle
criminal cases , that of the murder of ono
of his own men ( Oflicer Owen ) In the fall of
1894 , Is sufllcicnt. As soon as Mr. Whlto
learned of the murder , ho Immediately so
covered over.y possible avenue by which the
murderers might escape , with telegraphic
descriptions of them , that escnpo was next
to Impossible and It was duo to his discre
tion and good judgment In that direction
that they were so fortunately located and
afterward captured and in preparing the
evidence In the case his aid wag Invaluable.
Again during the great railway strike of
last Hummer. I advised continually with him
and almost Invariably acted on his eugges-
lions as to detailing and assigning oillcers
for the protection of the road with which
ho was and Is associated , and re
sults proved the wisdom of my
course and the soumlne.sa of his
judgment , and also proved to mo that he
lo po&sesscd of such marked executive ability
that I consider him highly competent to
handle , not only the police system ot the
St. Paul road , but also that of any ot the
Urge * cities of the country.

White , Esq. , Chicago , III. Dear Sir : It has
been rumored hero that you have under
idvlsement the question of accepting or re
jecting the position of chief of police of
Omaha , Neb. I sincerely hope that you will
consider the proposition favorably , as your
training , talcnta and experience eminently
fit you for that position. The great corpora
tions of this country are probably better able
to pay men of your ability than clllea like
Omaha , but from experience as a ptibKc
prcsecutor I am firmly convinced that the
"
position of a chief "of pollca of a largo city
Is a most Important ono and a liberal salary
should bo paid to a competent man. The
manner you handled the pursuit and capture
of Robbard and Haley , the men. convicted ol
the murder of Firth and Talcott , convinced
the peopleof Iowa of your ability to copa
with cunning and desperate "crooks. " As
you are aware those csarii were the meal
famous and een.'atlonal ever tried In this
state. I have repeatedly borne testimony to
the assistance and aid rendered me by you
In the conviction of those mm ( upon purely
circumstantial evidence ) and the people of
this county are unstinted In their praise ol
Martin Whlto and -Ills men. Hoping thai
your usual luck and good fortune will stick
to you as chief of police" Omaha , I am very
truly yours ,

CHICAGO , June 12 , 1895. To Whom It
May Concern : I have known Mr. 'Martin '
Whlto during the twelve years last past.
I made ills acquaintance while I was de
fending some Junk dealers for receiving
stolen property. 5Ir. White being the de
tective who had charge of the prosecution
I have often defended other persona In
criminal esses wherein Mr. White had charge
of the profpctitlon aa a detective.
During several years last past I have been
associated with him In prosecuting , In dif
ferent states , criminals indicted for larceny
burglary and murder , Mr. Whlto and I both
being In the employ of the Chicago , Mllwau-
keo & 'St. ' Paul Railway company. I was
associated with him In prosecuting Haley
and Robbard for murder In Dubuque. la. ,
and Lake and Grlswold for murder. In Wau-
kegan. III. In both cases the evidence was
exclusively clruumatantlal ; In both cases
there were convictions , followed by life im
prisonment.
As a lawyer retained to defend men
charged with crime , whom Mr , White was
prosecuting , nnd retained to prosecute men
whoso an eat ho had caused , I have become
Intimately acquainted with him aa a de
tective and as a man ,
Aa a detective he Is , In my judgment , un
surpassed by any other detective In the
United States , As a man Iknow htm to be
Intelligent , well read , honest and In al
respects trustworthy. I have been with hln
at all hours of the day and night , In al
partn of the wret and I have always beet
delighted to notice that he never , under
any circumstanced , tasted a drop of Intoxi
cating liquor. WILLIAM S. FORREST ,

According to the detective detail for the
coming month , which has Just been Issued
by Acting Chief of Detective * Hemming ,
Datcctlvca Savage nmi Dcntpsey have been
separated. Detective Savage has been paired
off with Detective Dunn and Detective Dtinp-
Bey with Detective Sullivan , the latter being
the recent addition to the detective force.
Tito separation of the two detectives came
and to Iho other
as a great surprise to them
members of the policeforce. . The two have
worked together for eight years.
Chief ot Detectives Hemming gives no
reason for hla separation of the men. To
tla superiors , however , he has said that 1.
was for the good of the dctcctlvo service.
The real reason la thought to bo exprc std
In the opinion of one of the olllclal corps ,
who elated that In his opinion Hemming
made the change becJiiso he was Jealous of
the two d.'tectlvrs. That seems to bo the
prevalent opinion of the rank of flic of the
lollco department. .
The change has aroused more of demoral
ization among the detectives than has ex-
eted before. The men have been dl satla-
fled with the chief becaut'o they look upon
him as absolutely without experience. Aa
nu Instance of this may bo mentioned the
manner In which recent orders of Hemming
lave been obeyed. He Instructed thit the
letoctlvcs should arrest every suspicious
character and vagrant they found In their
round. ? while the circus wan In the city.
I'ho detectives treated the orders with con-
.entpt , and made no arrests ot this charac-
CAs in the pasf- Detectives Donahue and
Hudson will work together.

I , Tolil Ilic Truth ,
July 31. District President
Dolan of Iho .Mine Workers nrrlvcJ In Pitts-
burg from the camp at Do Arinltt's mines
this morning to attend to some business , and
at 10 o'clock returned to llio mines. He Is
elated over the success of the movement to
bring out tlio men of the Now York and
Cleveland Qua Coal company and says the
result exceeds his brightest anticipations.
Ho asserted that the correspondents who art'
on the ground are sending misleading reports
of the situation. March was mailo on the
IMum Creek mines , ho said , at an caily
hour , and with but few exceptions the dlggcra
refused to work.
"Tho Sandy Creek mine Is ns silent as the
grave , " said Mr. Dolan , "and jesterday but
eleven men were at work In the mines at
Turtle Creek. I have Just como from a visit
to the mines , and can state positively tint not
moro than fifty men ale at work In all the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company
mines. There will not be a man at work on
Monday. The prospects of winning tlio big
Jtrlko nre blighter than at any tlmo slnco
It was Inaugurated , The close of the fourth
week of the strike shows moro miners Idle
In the country than at any tlmo In the his
tory of the coal Industry. The strikers de
clare that no attention will be paid to
Sheriff Lowry'd proclamation ; that they will
remain where they are , and will , If neces
sary , assemble thousands of men of all trades
and keep them there until every employe
of the Now York and Cleveland company Is
forced by shame to Join the ranks of the
strikers. "
The strikers' camp presents rather a pe
culiar appearance and reminds one of the
camps that Coxoy's army pitched while
marching , except that there Is a different
class of men gathered about. The pcoplo of
Turtle Crook are treating the miners very
kindly , and great baskets of provisions are
carried Micro for thorn. At all of the tneet-
.ngs collections are taken up , with which such
provisions DS are needed are purchased.
Many of the campers are faring better now
than they have been for many months In
the past.
past.CLASH
CLASH SEEMS IMMINENT.
There has beer a change In the state of
the siege nt.thc De Annltt mines and a
clash between the strikers and deputy
bherlfTs seems Imminent. The mines at Oak
Hill nnd Sandy Creek are being operated by
very few men. Most of the Oak II111 miners
live at Turtle Creek , and the demonstra
tions of the strikers camping In the gospel
tent have Intimidated them. At Sandy
Creek about 20 per cent of the miners arc
working , but at the Plum Creek mine ,
which Is now the object of much concern
on the part of the sheriff and Do Armltt ,
all the men are working. A representative
of the Associated Press was admitted to the
Inside of the Plum Creek mine and ho
talked with about a dozen of the men
while they vcre at work. All of the men
spoken to said they had no sympathy with
the strikers and that they would not leave
the mine urlcss they \\ere driven out. Most
of them are armed and declare that they
will not be Intimidated.
A largo number of men got Into the mines
at Plum Creek before the marchers arrived.
This being the last day of the month , It la
the end of a pay period and the men had
gpno Into the mines two hours earlier , t > o
that they could swell their account by a big
day's work. The marchers approached the
mineby the Monrocvllle road. The mine
property adjoins the Center school house , In
Plum township , and on the dividing line between -
tween the two properties the marchers were
met by a deputy sheriff , who told them they
could not go any further on the Monroevllle
road. The leaders of the strike pushed him
iialdo ana marched on. Twenty or thirty
other deputies hurried to the scene and the
otrlkers were brought to a standstill within
twenty yards of the' trestle. The men were
very Indignant and for a time It looked as
though there would be serious trouble. At
this Juncture Superintendent De Armltt ar
rived on the scene and told the strikers that
his men had already entered the mines and
that a battle with the deputy sheriffs yould
be a very foolish action In that it would
surely result In large numbers being arrested
and be the worst thing they could do for
the strike. Th'c strikers then withdrew.
The strikers then went Into camp behind
the fichool house"but they continued to make
demonstrations about the mine , and a num
ber of stones were * thrown. The spectacle
of leaded cars coming from the pit mouth
agitated the strikers , and the deputy sheriffs
established a n&w picket line , each man
holding a loaded revolver In his right hand
while a reserve force of fifty deputies was lit
the olllco armed with rifles.
The strikers , worn out by the marching ,
then settled down , Samuel De Annltt went
among them and distributed pipes and to
bacco , TnesoHvcre enjoyed , and many of the
meu went to sleep. The news of the march
to the Plum Creek mine reached Thomas De
Arntttt at Oak Hill , aud , finding that the tele
phone wire had been cut , he drove to Plurn
Creek , but found all quiet aud his brothel
distributing the pipes and tobacco.
Dutlng the excitement of the morning , one
of the deputies had a fit and fell In convul
sions. This had much to do with quieting
affairs , as the strikers crowded around to as
sist him.
This afternoon the strikers announced their
Intention of camping at the Center school
house and remaining there until Monday , In
order to see that the miners do not co b-ick
to work.
STRIKERS HET1HE.
Anxiety , expectation and suspension , which
were the conditions In the coal mining situa
tion about Da Annltt's mines today , have
given place to peace and nuletness tonight.
After running counter to deputy sheriffs sev
eral times during the day the strikers peace
ably withdrew thin evening and are now
aslcup In their camp. As the miners will network
work tomorrow the strikers will take a rest
and no trouble Is expected before Monday
morning. The week closed with the miners'
officials satisfied that they had made a
maiked Impression on the diggers of the
Now York and Cleveland Oas Coal company ,
who. It seems , are wavering as to their pi' ' "
pose.
All the men are out at Sandy Creek and
but few were at work at Turtle Creek today.
Plum Creek was In full operation and the
entlro force or the strikers was centered at
this point , but without success , The men at
work appear determined to stand by their
employers , but the strikers still have hopes
of bringing them out. Late this afternoon
President Dolan took ISO strikers from the
camp and marched to Plum Creek , where a
meeting was organized. Speeches were made
by President Dolan and Vice President Mc
Kay and the men cautioned to keep within
the law.Vlille the meeting was In progress
Sheriff Lowry and Chief Deputy Richards ,
with an armed force of deputies , appeared
upon the scene. Sheriff Lowry read the- In
junction secured by i > o Armltt and
ordered the strikers to disperse.
President Dolan replied that they
wore on public ground and produced a
certificate from the road supervisor of the
township declaring the place a public high
way. Sheriff Lowry again ordered them to
disperse and after a oliort parley the meet
ing was closed and tno strikers marched
back to camp. Upon their return It was
learned that 400 men from the Panhandle
district had started for Turtle Creek and
would reach there tomorrow morning. When
the reinforcements arrive arrangements will
be made to march to Plum Creek about midnight -
night Sunday and guard the mines until the
men start to work , when another effort will
be made to Induce them to come out ,
The miners at Wear shaft No. 5 at a meet
ing this afternoon voted to suspend work
until Wednesday next and calltul a maoa
convention of all the mlnera In the district
for Tuesday next , at which meeting action
will bo taken on the demands of the miners
for better powder at lower price * and for
an Increase In the price for raining. The
action today Is said to bo due to the Ignor
ing of the demands of the men by a ma
jority of the operators. At the conference
on Friday last between miners and opera
tors but five of the fifteen companies of the
district wire represented , the others Ignoring
the request for a meeting.
