July 2, mi, hyv General .Abbey, which.
stated that "not more than one man of
any company, troop or battery may he
excused at tho same time."
The soldiers were not kept under
proper discipline," says the text of the
report. "General Abbey himself admitted
that his order was not enforced. The re
sult waa that crowds of privates were
dally seen on tho streets; they visited
saloons and many of them became in
toxicated and many of them carried re
volvers while they were In an Intoxi
cated condition.
Strfbe Kemarkahlr Peaiopfal.
Considering the number of men in
volved In the strike," says tho report,
'the length of time the struggle was
continued, and the bitterness caused by
bringing soldiers and Waddell men to the
district, the strike wan remarkably peace
ful. Tho only persons killed were two of
the strikers, who were wantonly shot
down by Waddell men and deputies at
Patneavllle, and a deputy and striker,
who killed each other near Horontown.
Tho leaders of the Western Federation
of Miners, In charge of the strike, re
peatedly warned the strikers against car
rying firearms and using Intoxicants and
very few were arrested for these offenses,
undoubtedly many men that started to
go back to work were Intimated ana
some abused and beaten. On the other
hand the deputy sheriffs and Waddell
men acted with great brutality toward
the strikers and In many cases beat men
and women with clubs and nightsticks.
"In many cases it would be Impossible
to determine who was tho aggressor. The
real facts could be determined only by
a court with power to subpoena witnesses
and even then; there would doubtless be
miscarriages of justice. The only con
elusion that one can reach Is that some
of the violence was caused by the strik
ers and for some of It peace officers were
responsible.
"One of the most remarkable features
of the strike was that In spite of excite
ment and passion which prevailed, no
property of the mining companies was In
jured by strikers and. In fact, none
showed any disposition to Injure prop
erty."

ON" BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL TRAIN. WEST POINT. Qa.,
Jan. 12. President Wllron today Jour
neyed homeward, ready to take up gov
ernmental problems with renewed vigor.
He looked physically refreshed by his
vacation of' nearly thne weeks at Pass
Christian, Miss., and Appeared in better
health than at any time since his Inaugu
ration.
The president told members of his pavty
that ho might go to tho gulf coast again
for a winter vacation. Ills desire for
Isolation was courteously observed during1
his stay" thero and he was not annoyed
by tho horde of callers who dally seek
him at the White House.
Aside from John Llnd, his personal
representative In Mexico, the only person
who came to Pass Christian to see Ihe
president on Imslncss was Mrs. Margaret
Cardwcll of Beaumont, Tex. WhIIe She
did not get an audience Mth" the presi
dent, a note from her reached him.
Mrs. Cardwell said she had made the
Journey from Mexico with financial dif
ficulty and sought Justice In- her suit
against a railroad of that atote whom
sh claimed damages for thn death of her
husband, n conductor. The president
sent Dr. Cary T. Grayson, his naval aide,
to nsk Mrs. Cardwell to prepare a state
ment of the facts and send them to the
White House.
Dr. Grayson today received a telegram
from Cooney Hansborough, his fellow
townsman nt Culpepper. Va., telling him
If the president's train would stop at Cul
pepper "the whole town" would be nt
the station to meet him. Several weeks
ago when Dr. Grayson did have nn ambi
tion of his youth gratified In having a
fast train stop at his town of Culpepper,
no one was there to greet the presidential
party except Hansborough, an odd char
acter, whose ailments Dr. Grayson had
attended for many years.
The president's aide regretfully an
swered his friends that the train would
pass through Culpepper nt 5 o'clock to
morrow morning and therefore' could not
stop.
