First TliouKlit to He Joker. Davis entered the outer room of Chief of Police Sebastian's office at 11 o'clock this morning. His face and head were completely covered with a grotesque mask and ho carried In his arms a large box covered with cloth. The lox was strapped around his shoulders and resembled a small hand organ.

Tho masked visitor rested tho box on a filing cabinet and Assistant District At torney n. O. Graham, who . was in tho office, started Joking with' him. "This Is no Joke," said Davis. "I mean business, and if you don't believe try to take this away from me. My hand is fastened in this box and if I pull It out bang! Wo all die." A hole had been cut In the box and the occupants of the room saw for the first time that tho man's left hand was hid den In the box. Wnntu to Mow Up Head Man. They began to realize, that it was no Joke. Davis then walked Into the office of Police Secretary C. B. Snlvely, which opens into tho private office of Chief Se bastian, and repeated his request that tho head official of the Southern Pacific be summoned. Snlvely nBked him if he had any proferenco In the man he desired to blow up, and he replied that ho only wanted tho head man. Snlvely then took down the telephone receiver and pretended to hold ' a con versation with Paul Shoup, general man ager of the Pacific Electric company. "Mr. Shoup is busy, but )ie will bo hero in about fifteen minutes;" said Snlvely. "Well, he'd better hurry," replied Davis, "I'm getUng nervous." In the meantime Chief Sebastian, who had a brief conversation with the man und realized that he was In earnest ordered the .street roped off for a block either way and took steps to havo tho 100 prisoners In th eclty Jail removed. Upstairs In the building two Justices' courts were In session and both court rooms were crowded. A detective passed tho word to a bailiff In Judge Chambers' court, where a Japanese was having a preliminary ex amination on a murder charge beforo a crowd of his countrymen. The bailiff whispered to the Judge. Judicea Adjourn Court. "Court's adjourned until 2 p. m. Clear the court room," ordered tho Judge promptly, and there was a rush for the stairway. A similar scene was enacted In Justice Frederlckson's court. There were not sufficient patrol wagons to remove the prlioners from the Jail to the Boyle Henshts prison and two street cars were sent for.

Nov. 19.-ln face of the fact that conditions In tin Kanawha coal field woro observed by military authorities to be us bad as they have been slnco martial law was declared, it was decided today to amend Iho ordir calling out four additional companies of tho national guard ro that but one com pany would take tho field.

It Is believed by the military authori ties that tho men will not attack, but will bo present when tho mlltary court sits, for tho first tlmo to try J. H. Haines, a lender among the striking miners, who was arrested several days ago. The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad man agement has sent n hundred or more nrmcd railroad officers tc the Pnlnt Creek section to guard Its tracks ami net In conjunction with tho military.

The miners' camp nt Holley Grove was, the objective of ono company of soldiers, but It was deserted when tho troops ar rived.

Tho Jury which has been hearing tho cvl donco against the four gunmen no de cided today when it returned ugalnst them a verdict of murder in the first do grfeo after but twenty minutes of delibera tion Like Becker, the gunmen heard tho ver dict pronounced against them without aovJ of emotion. They stood at. tho bar looking straight ahead ns tho foreman of the Jury rose to make known tho results of its deliberations and they continued to starts stolidly in front of them until tho formnlltlos of the proceedings were con cluded. Remanded to their cells In tho Tombs until tomorrow morning, when Justice Goff will fix the duy for Imposing sen tence, they turned and filed- out of tho court room with as firm a step us when they first entered. "Whltey" Lewis, who was tho most dra matic of tho four when ho testified on tho witness stand, alono walked with head bowed. An they entered tho door leading over the bridge of sighs "Gyp" said something to "Lefty" In a sullen undertone tyhlch nono could hear.

"If the defendants' contention were truo thnt Rose and his companions, Webber, Vallon and- Schepps, shot Itosenthal, would he havo Invited them around to the Mctropole hotel to the scene of tho shooting?"

"Did the defendants tell the truth when they tald they aw Itosenthal shot, and .ero near enough to distinguish the faces of those who did the shooting, but did not see Rosenthal fall? Was the testi mony of the threo defendants In support of the alibi of 'Dugo Frank' interposed by prearrangemont?" he asked. Boycott on Fruit in New York Broken NEW YOIUC, Nov 19.
