SHENANDOAH, Pa.,' July 1. Twelve
handred state troop af encamped today
on a bill overlooking Shenandoah. Down
In tbc town, where rioters and policemen
fought the bloody battle last night, all Is
quiet, and - the Indications ar tbat so
long as the militia remains the peace of
the community will not again be broken.
The riot .fhlcn paused the aoldlcrj to be
sent here came like a flash and was over
almost as quickly as It had started and
there has sot born a tingle eaae-ef vio
lence reported, The ten of thousands of
Idle men and boys" In ' this' vicinity who
had been gathcrlng-ln large numbers and
marching from place to place did not re
peat their, aemonstrs Hons . today and the
authorities' consequently" ha UttU ' or
nothing to o. l
The arrival of the cltlsen soldiers proved
to be a great attraction for the large army
of unemployed and hundreds of men and
boys came to town to see the troops.
The first companies to arrive came from
St. Clair at a. m. and from that hour
until I: SO, When the governor's troops dis
embarked and galloped up the main 'street,
Shenandoah presented a live appearance.
Most of the commands were on the ground
by 10:30. The companies that did not ar
rive until afternoon were delayed on the
ra'.lroad. while the troop of cavalry was
handicapped because of the shipping of
their mount.
Oeaeral Gobla oa Sceae Early.
Brigadier ' General Oobln of the Third
brigade. In command of the troops here,
and his staff were on the scene early. The
camp Is located on a high hill lust out
side the town and commands a full view of
the town. Within the camp lines are
quartered two full regiments, the Eighth
and Twelfth, and four companies of the
Thirteenth regiment and a troop 'of cav
alry. General Oobln expressed himself as
highly pleased with the rapidity with
which the camp was established. The
commander and his staff are quartered at
the Ferguson house, but It la the general's
Intention to get under canvas with bis
staff as soon as circumstances will permit.
Beyond the presence of a group of sol
diers' her and there Shenandoah doea not
show any evidence of having passed
through a trying ordeal. The large num
ber of persons who tad bsen attracted to
the place by the presence of the militia
left town tonight and the town presented
Ha normal appearance.
The major portion of the population Is
mad up of foreigners and a a rule they
kept close to their homes during the day.
It la claimed by the citizens of the town
that toe foreign eieineni wa uiou re
sponsible tor the trouble. Most of the
curious persons gathered In the vicinity of
the Philadelphia It Reading depot, where
the rlof occurred. The station ahowa
many bullet marks of the battle. A strong
guard was placed around the station ao
that the crowd Would not delay the sol
dlers a they left the train and inarched
to the camping grounds.
Hot -fynkir ' Martial ' Law.
Contrary to popular, belief,. Shenandoah Is
not under -martial law,. The local autnon
tie and the sheriff of the eounty have not
relinquished control of the .town or eounty
and they remain In eVeoidplete tohtr,ol of
their respective affaire as they did -before
the troops reach'4 here. Tb soldiers are
merely In camp oh the outside , of the
town. It waa deemed advisable, however, by
the brigadier general to establish provost
uard In certain- cart of the town.
Major Norman 8. Farquhar' of Potts
villa Is. the provost marshal. So long
as the situation remains as It Is at present
there 1 no likelihood that the regimental
companies will be scattered through the
mining towns of Schuylkill county. It Is
the Intention of Oeneral Oobln to have the
troops' occupy their time by going through
drills, target practice and general camp
routine.
General Oobln spent a busy day Inform
lng himself of the situation throughout the
country. He had a personal Interview with
Sheriff S. Rowland Bedall in the forenoon
nd a telephone conference with him In
the afternoon. The general also received
messages from" various parts of the ter
rltorv. In an Interview with the eorre-
pondent of the Associated Press tonight
Oeneral Oobln aald:
The general situation 1 very quiet. There
were.no Incidents during the day worthy
f note, except tne arnvat oi w w

I have received dispatches from different
parts of the country which tell of meeting,
marches, attacks on Individuals, violations
of the law and the refusal of local police
authorities to enforce the law. Upon these
dispatches I am not ready to act. What
I will do depends largely upon what the
sheriff Is going to do. we are here to give
him aupport In hie efforts to enforce the
civil law; we were ordered here because
of hla Inability to do so. The national gov
ernment has no opinion to express as to
the merits of the question;, expressed by
either side of the controversy, aa that la
not within Its province.
Mia Worker laeeaaed.
The mine worker are greatly Incensed
ver the calling out of the troops. They
assert that thla action was entirely unwar
ranted, and Is an unjustifiable expense en
the state.'. The strikers, through their offl
clala, are making an effort to have the sol
dler withdrawn. The first step In this dl
reotloa was taken thla afternoon, when the
following telegram was sent from here to
Governor Stone: .
We. the undersla-ned official of the Ninth
district of the miners' union, believe that
the request made to you to send troops to
Shenandoah was baaed upon exaggeration,
and as we are confirmed In this belief we
ruoectfullv reaueet you to send a personal
representative Into this town to Investigate
the condition and after such Investigation
we believe that you will learn thut the
presence or tr troop in mis town i un

revoked. MII.E9 nOl'OHEHTY,

It Is said the mine workers officials In

the governor to withdraw the troops.
' Say Beddall I Respoastble.
allies Dougherty, national board member
of the United Mine workers from this dis
trict, told the Associated Press tonight that
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddall, who la a
, nephew of the sheriff of the county, and
who was escorting workmen along to
street, which actio led to the riot, w
wholly responsible for the trouble.
Mr. Dougherty said Beddall had no good

Beddall's brother, Joseph, who attempted
to go to his rescue, wa badly beaten by
someone In the crowd, Mr. Dougherty said.
becauee he was carrying several boxes of
cartridges to his brother, Thomas. It la
not Improbable that the striker will call
pon the county officers to Ox the responsi
bility for the shooting on the deputy
sheriff.
The leaders of the Miners' union held
several conference during tb dsy, at
which ths situation waa thoroughly gone
over. Committeeman Dougherty made a
full report to Mr. Mitchell by telephone.
This afternoon ths miner' advisory board
of this vicinity, which Includes the officers

held a secret meeting, at which plana were
devised to prevent any Intended breaks In

Riot Ha Depressing; Effect.
WILKESBARRE, Fa., July 11. The riot
at Shenandoah last night has had a de
pressing effect at strike headquarters.
President Mitchell was up early and asked
for the newspapers. .After reading the
account of the trouble he was naked if
he had anything to say for publication,
and he replied:
I am very sorry this thin has hacrjened.
but until I receive some information from
District President Fahey I shall make no
comment. Later In the day I may issue
statement.
The fifth regiment. National Guard of
Pennsylvania, with headquarter in this
city. Is under waiting orders. All the
local leaders of the United Mine Worker
deplore the abeddlng of blood and the
calling out of the troops. They say the
presence, of ths . soldiers ." wtll encourage
the operators to start' up their mine, and
after the collieries in the Schuyklll dls-
riui miv put iu viroiattvu it w'lil vul 3
question of time until mines in other
parts of the strike belt resume, for the
miners of the Wyoming and Lackawanna
valleys will not be content to remain idle
while their brethren la other parts of the
region are working. . . .
It Is the history of past coal strikes
that the presence of the militia is always
an indication of the early resumption of
mining. ....t, -
Those of the local operators who could
be seen today are of the opinion tbat the
backbone of the strike i now broken
and that It will only be a ahort time until
there will be a general resumption of min
ing. National Board Member John Fallon,
who arrived at President Mitchell's head
quarters today, would not admit, how
ever, tbat the affair at Shenandoah, un
fortunate as it was, would change ths
situation. He said the great bulk of the
strikers were peaceful and would continue
peaceful. As long as that la the eaae the
pperators could have little hope that their
old employes would return to work.

Prof. Samuel B. Christy of the University
of California said:
Th western coast of thl continent I
liable to have' 'such hock at any time.
Any great contraction of the earth In the
Pacific coast may be accompanied by dam
age to property. It la a well known rcten-
tino ract that aa the earth cools in the
Interior the earth crust on which we live
Is bound to rive, producing jsrrlng offsets
oi varying intensity.
James Maddoyl, who has charge of the
observatory of the University of California,
aald:
From unofficial sources w have learned
that the southern earthquakes were prac
tically localised. This la etranse. since the
shocks were so Severe. In quakes of suffi
cient vibration to rase a building the ehock
Is generally plainly felt for a radius of
hundreds of miles. The disturbance, how
ever, was scurcely ' felt here, the seismo
graph at the University of California show-
ng out a faint record.
T. L. Heatoa of the University of Cali
fornia aald:
While scientists are working on . the
theory of probable cauae of the earth
quakes in Bant. Barbara county, the vxact
reason will probably never be known. There
was evidently atellp ln this strata of earth.
In. such cases & sllaht displacement some
times produces a fearful phock. The theory
haa seen advanced that tne removal oi
areat Quantities of "oil from the earth In
southern California Is responsible for the
seismic disturbance. I hardly think tins
possible, as oil wells do not penetrate deep
enough into the hot region.
SANTA MARIA, Cal., July Si. Another
earthquake shock was felt here at 7:25

WA8HINQTON. July 81. (Special.) Pres.
ldcnt J. C. Keller of the National Associa
tion of Letter Carriers, who has just re
turned from a trip through the west, hss
wrlttea a letter to the official organ of his
association, the Postal' Record, which will
appear in the next Issue of that journal,
bitterly arraigning Representative Loud of
California, chairman of the committee on
postoflice and post roads, for that gentle
man' opposition to th bill reclassifying
letter carriers. In analysing the last speech
Mr. Loud made la the houee on this subject,
Mr. Keller characterises It as a most re
markable effort. - "Remarkable," he says,
ironically, "for its inaccuracies as well as
It misrepresentations." Mr. Keller, In the
most emphatic language, brands ss a lie Mr.
Loud's charge that ths carrier are trying to
lobby their bill through congress by the use
of money.
- "Mr. Loud states," comments Mr. Keller,
"tbat an offer to return money collected
for this purpose was made, but that some
of the branches refused to accept the re
turn of tbat money, and it still lies subject
to call.' ' This statement ts false from be
ginning to end and I doubt If such a state
ment would ever be made or have been
made were It possible for a carrier to per
sonally answer such an attack on the floor.
The carriers of th country have no fund,
either direct or Indirect, with which to pur
chase their Increase In salary or any other
legislation. Every carrier knows that, and
I believe Mr. Loud know It at least, be
seems, to know everything pertaining to
the carriers' private aa well as publio life."
Takes t'p Speech) la Detail.
Mr. Keller, In hi letter, takes Mr. Loud'
speech by paragraphs, in order to show
that the California congressman distorted
the real facts of the case In a masquerade
of language. He dismisses a great deal
of Mr. Loud's causerle as unworthy of con
sideration, but resents vigorously that por
tion of Mr. Loud' speech in which the
Utter, according to Mr. Keller' Interpre
tation, attacks the character of the letter
carriers. "The portion to which I take
particular exception," says Mr. Keller, "Is
that In which Mr. Loud by Inference, seeks
to brand the carriers of the country as a
lot of criminals. We can pass over his
so-called statistical enumerations; we could
even respect the man for his consistent op
position to any measure which he consid
ers wrong In principle, but we do reserve
the right to protest against the attacks
made upon the Integrity of the letter car
rier, especially when that attack Is mads
on the floor of the bouse In a manner and
under conditions which will not permit those
attacked to answer the charges brought
against them." Mr. Keller speculates a to
the reason of Mr. Loud' deviation from
the subject under consideration, when the
general deficiency appropriation bill was be
fore the house and his meandering Into a
discussion of the postal service as well as
the salaries of letter carriers.
Why any man should go out of his way
to attack " another,'.' remarks Mr. Keller,
or why this question of salaries of postal
employes was brought up at a time , when
matter entirely foreign to It were being
considered, I do not know, unless it was
don for - the purpose of making - political
capital of it, as stated by the chairman of
the committee (Mr. Loud) at th very be
ginning of hi speech."
' - Plead for Fair Play.
The nraaldent of the association, pleads
earnestly for fair play, an attribute, he
declares, Mr. Loud Is not afflicted with, and
attacks Mr. Ixiurt for ursine the carriers
be burdened with Increased Sunday work.
Keller goee Into a technical dlscussslon oi
the aalarles of letter carriers and their
substitute, offering substantiated facts
and figures to prove the emptiness or Mr.
Loud's arguments, that they are ufflclently
remunerated. In conclusion, Mr. Keller
say: "On thing, however, Is certain, no
attempt to create dissension In the rank
nf the carriers will ever meet with suc
cess.- The carrier hav met every con
dition lmpoed upon them by presidential
or departmental orders. They ask for an
Increase of pay as a mattsr of right and
justice. They want It o that they may
live, feed and clothe themselves in the
manner expected ef them; but they want
to get it honestly, and la striving for bet
ter conditions they will never be led to
abuse either the poetofflce clerks or the
railway mall clerk. W believe that these
deserving representatives of the postal
service are entitled to better -conditions,
and, like the carrier, could get them aa
a- matter of right and justice."
Obsearlaa; the Isaac.
Representative Sulser of New York whsn
la Waehlngton stated that among other
matter which h proposed to discuss In
his campaign was. th bill for tb classi
fication of th letter carriers. "I consider
It very unseemly," he said, "that congress
should continue to appropriate excessive
amount for th carrying of th malls by
th railroads and refuse justice to the men
on foot. I wa astonished at the attack
made on the postal employes, and partic
ularly on the letter carriers,, by the chair
man of the poatofflces committee. Repre
sentative Loud, toward the close of the
last session. Mr. Loud has been a con
stant opponent of every effort to Increase
tke wage of the postal employes, and just
a persistant, In. behalf pi the great rail
road corporations. Mr. Loud maintains
that we should resist the assaults on the
treasury that are made by the employes of
the postal service, especially the letter
carriers, and I would like to know whether
thla la a mere subterfuge la order to keep
u from th real lasus, which 1 th pay-
meat of ten time a much for handling
and carrying the malls as Is paid for
carrying express matter, in the same car
behind the earn engine, on th same
train and over the sam roadbed. I be
lieve that If the government paid the rail
roads a fair price, instead of the present
exorbitant ratea, we could extend the poe
tal service beyond anything ever dreamed
of la this country, I believe w could
hav free delivery service In every nok
and cranny of thla country aad that w
could have 1-cent postage, and I also be
lleve that for fear we might accidentally
discover what is the real strata oa our
treaaury our attention Is constantly
diverted to the postal clerks, ths railway
mall clerks and particularly to the letter
carriers, for fear they might Impoverish
us. Mr. Loud, la his speech oa this sub
ject, spoke of the substitute carriers earn
log $380 a year, on the average, but he
neglected to state, aad thereby created a
wrong Impression, that the money the eub
stltute earn la taken from the salary of
th regular carriers. In 150 cities the
maximum aalary which any latter carrier
can receive 1 t&oO. and only la about fifty,
five raa they reoelve $1,000. Ia hundreds
of poetofflce emwying three or four car
rier, if th substitute saraa I3S0. 1280
must co" :rom I ha four carriers and tlQO
; from the government fur the serving of
route during vacations. This reduces the
salary to about $780 per year, and from
thl they most buy their uniforms."
