THE!" BEE: DM AH A, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 7, 1919. INDIANA TOWNS PLACED UNDER MILITARY LAW Gen. Wood in Command of Troops' Sent to Gary Following Request of Governor. x (Continued from Pace One.) marching away to take up their posts in various parts ot the city. Ths call for federal troops was sent out late today after a, hurried consultation between Mayor Hodges, Sheriff Barnes and officers in command of the state troops on duty. Theconference was called im mediately when reports came in that the strike sympathizers were gath ering for a parade. It was deemed fruitless to endeavor to prevent the demonstration with the handful of state troops. It was said tonight that Major General Wood had been consulted ever the telephone when the parade was forming and had advised that no effort be made to interfere with the strikers, but that federal troops be called for immediately. Soldier Leads Parade. At the head of -the parade this afternoon marched a soldter in uni form, carrying an American flag. Behind him came a line of men in uniform variously estimated at from 200 to 700. Insignias of a dozen combat divisions were in evidence. Men in captains' uniforms marched side by side with the men in the uni forms of privates. Following in the procession were hundreds of strike sympathizers. The sidewalks along the way were packed with specta tors. The state troops, in accordance with orders, made no effort to terfere. They were jeered and hooted by spectators as well as marchers. The march continued to East Side park. Here a mass meeting was held. A former soldier, wearing two wound stripes, appealed to the crowd for the release of 34 men who had been arrested today and yester day on various charges. A shout went up for a march on the jail, where the men were confined. For a moment the situation looked seri ous, but the cries of the crowd let up when the speaker announced that a meeting of former soldiers would be held tomorrow morning to con sider plans for procuring the re lease of the prisoners. STEEL WORKERS STILL SHOWING A SOLID FRONT i. , Mi., No Break in Ranks Reported at Any of Larger Mills as Third Week of Struggle Opens. - ' Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. .6. A break in the ranks of the steel strikers, hoped for by some of the companies, did not come about when the third week of the struggle opened, but re ports came in from different sec tions of the- starting up of a num ber of smaller-plants. These were at Donora, Pa., where the rod) blooming and zinc mills of the - American Steel and Wire company were placed in operation after being idle since the strike be gan, and at Monessen, Pa., where the Pittsburgh Steel company, the Pittsburgh Steel Products company, the Page Steel and Wire company and the Monessen Foundry com pany also pet to work men who ap plied for their old jobs. The Wierton Iron and Steel company also started up part of its plant at Wierton, W. Va., while a few departments in mills in the city of Pittsburgh were claimed to be in operation on a small scale. Strikev headquarters said that if any serious attempt was made to cause a stampede of workers back to the mills, it was a failure. It was asserted by union leaders that none of the plants reported to have started up have many men at work, and they were not turning out any product. Carnegie Mills Quiet There were no reports of any at- tempt on the part of the Carnegie Steel company, the Unrest sub sidiary -of the United States Steel corporation, to start up idle plants. Little change was noted in the works of that company in the Pitts burgh district, though it continues to be maintained by operating of ficials that more men apply for work everyday. Union headquarters have denied a report from Coatsville, Pa., where one of the plants of the Midvale Steel and Ordnance company is situated, that organizers there had advised men to return to work, and that ' the strike in Coatsville is ended. At Homestead, union organizers report that the big works there are continually losing men. It was given out by strike leaders that railroad men have informed them that very little finished oroduct is leaving the plant. 367,000 Men on Strike. In a summary of the general strike situation sent out to all secretaries, organizers and steel strikers by na tional headquarters figures are given as of October 6, indicating that 367,500 men are on strike. This is an increase of 88,500 compared with the hgures given out by headquar ters just after the strike started. The figures in detail are as fol lows: Pittsburgh, 25.000: Homestead. 9,000: Braddock. 10.000: Rankin. 5.- 000; Clairton, 4,000; Duquesne-Mc- Keesport, 1,000; Vanilergrift, 4,000; Brackenridge, 5,000; New Kensing ton, 1,100; Apollo. 1.500: Leechburtr. 3.000; Donora-Monessen,. 12,000; Johnstown, 18,000; Coatesville, 4,000; ioungstown district (Hubbard, Massillon, Lorain, New Philadel phia, Struthers, Canton, Alliance, Sharon, Farrell, Butler, Newcastle), 70,000; Wheeling, 18,600; Cleveland district, 25,000; Steubenville, 12,000; Chicago district (Gary, South Chi cago, Indiana Harbor, East Chicago, Sterling, Hammond, Evanston, Wau kegan, Milwaukee.

The Carnegie Steel company in a statement said that Number 1 blast furnace at Newcastle, Pa., was start ed up, it being lfghted by the presi dent of the board of trade there. The starting of this furnace, it was stat ed, places the entire plant of the company at Newcastle in operation. At Homestead, the statement said, good gains have been made. More than 100 strikers returned to work there today, and the tonnage was still going up, the statement added. The Edgar Thomson works at Brad- dock, according to the company, also reported more men at work, almost as large as at Homestead. "Farrell has full crews in each mill, and all other plants report that more men were taken on," the statement said. Fletcher May Succeed to Ambassadorship of Italy Washington, Oct. 6. Reports per sist in official and diplomatic cir cles that Henry P. Fletcher, ambas sador to Mexico, would be trans ferred to Rome, succeeding Thopias Nelson Page, who has resigned.

Upon the plea of his father and mother in police court yesterday, A. Leo ritzsinimons, well known young live stock commission man, was sentenced to 30 days 1:1 jail for vagrancy. His divorced wile, living under the name of Maber-fitzsimmons, who was also arrested Sunday morning with her husband for vag rancy upon a warrant sworn out by the father, W. A. Fitzsimmons, 334 North Forty-first street, was released shortly after under $15 bonds. She disappeared Sunday night. With tears in his eyes, the father testified against his son. On T.nnc Snri S - --a r - - s "Judge, -he's been on ? drunk for five weeks," he declared. "His mother, and I havet gone the limit for his welfare. Because, although he divorced his former wife , she has had him under strong influence, away from his home and his busi ness. His former wife swore at the time my boy obtained his divorce that she would ruin flm if it took 100 years. Here are the effects of it." Police Judge Holmes issued capias proceedings against Mabel Fitzsimmons. The escapades of the younger Fitzsimmons and his divorced wife comprise a series of incidents from romance to arrest, according to tes timony brought out in police court. Thearrest of the couple forms the substance of much comment among commission men on the South Side. Married in Kansas City, Mo., in 1916, divorced in July, 1919, arrest ed for vagrancy October 5, 1919, and sentenced to jail the following day, constitute one of the epochs in the young man's life, according to public records. The father of young Fitzsimmons testified in court that his son has been living with Mabel Fitzsim mons at 309 Hascall street, during the past three weeks. Woman Disappears. The only remarks Mrs. Fitz simmons made following her release from jail under bonds Sunday were: ' "It's father-in-law again. I've just been living with Leo for the happiness of being with him She packed her belongings Sun day night and disappeared. When arrested, the young couple were living at the Flo-Le's apart ments. Leo Fifzsimmons is head of the live stock commission firm of A. L. Fitzsimmons and Company, 111 Exchange building, South Side. He is prominent among live stock men and is a member of the Omaha Athletic club. Murder Plot of Blacks Uncovered in Arkansas (Continued from Pago One.) "He told them that those mem bers who were unable to buy am munition would be supplied by the union from the government store house at Winchester. The Mercenary Side. N "The purely mercenary side of it develops as follows: "Negro men were charged $1.50 entrance fees and negro women 50 cents. At the second or third meet ing, he would bring Dr. V. E. Pow ell of Winchester with- him, who purported to be the examining phy sician for the government in its work of registering the negroes in defense of their rights. A certifi cate was filld out and signed by the doctor and given to each negro up on payment of 50 cents. This cer tificate was supposed to be the reg istration document. Those negroes who were possessed of funds in amounts, frnm $5 f r. $7? wr .n. tolled in an advanced section of the union, and upon payment of what ever sum he (Hill) could procure in excess of $5, a certificate was given entitling the holder to attend the congresses of the union at Win chester and speak on the floor of the meeting regarding any questions brought up, and to assist in keeping the constitution of the United States from being questioned. Another Form of Extortion. "Another form of extortion was to sell shares of $10 each to the ne groes in a proposed building to be erected by the union at Winchester. Hill had so plannd his campaign that any negro possessing from 50 cents to $50 was given an opportu nity to invest in something connect? ed with the union. "He then advised the members that the general attorney of the union in Little Rock would, for an additional consideration, represent all of the negroes in their settlement with landlords iuring the ginning season. He went to several of the meetings with typwritten powers of attorney which he had signed by the negroes collecting amounts from $25 to $50 and pledging payment of the balance of $50 each, with the crop as security. "He further told the negroes that the plan of Secretary Lane to pro vide homesteads for the soldiers had been carried out where the white soldiers were concerned, but the ne groes had been refused participation in it. We found where negro sol diers at Elaine had sold their dis charge papers for sums- ranging from 50 to $100 on the theory that such discharge entitled the holder to 40 acres of government land. He produced government maps testate lands in the Elaine country, which he said could be bought for $200. This amount was raised and paid to him. The land was all described and certain negroes had designated which parts of the various-farms (all in cultivation) they desired to take over for themselves after the white people had been driven off. Urged Plan of Campaign. , "He urged all lodges to decide upon a plan of campaign when the day came to strike and designated the part to be played by every man. He told them that the government was erecting at Winchester three huge storehouses, where arms, am munition and trained soldiers would be ready for instant use. On Wed nesday morning after the first fight a"t Hoop Spur, the negroes crossed the track and lay in the weeds all day wr.iting for Hill's army to ma terialize. They were within easy range of automobiles going to and from Hoop Spur all day and could easily ha"e fired into them, but they wished to wait for Hill's army in order to clean up in one fell swoop. "The fight at Hoop Spur was un premeditated as far as the negroes Niagara Falls Pleases Belgian King and Queen (Continued from Page One.) was probably the most thrilling ex perience her majesty has had since she left the battle lines, where she served her people as devotedly as did thir king. It was an event not ion the program marked out in ad vance and was the subject of an ani mated discussion at the royal break fast table as the royal special neared Buffalo. "I am going," the king announced calmly. The queen declared that if his majesty went, she would, and Prince Leopold voiced an emphatic determination not to be left behind. It was the king's party, and they went. They donned oilskins, just as have countless Americans. The king wore a yellow jacket and brown overalls. It was intimated there were no yellow trousers long enough for him.- When he was dressed the attendant who was help ing him announced, with no thought of royal etiquet: "Alright, king, you're ready," and his majesty smiled. King Stalks Ahead. The king stalked ahead. Gusts of wind blew showers of spray into the faces of everyone in the party and the roar of the mighty cataract over their heads was deafening. 1 The queen expressed disappoint ment because there was no time to go through twice. "Marvelous!" she exclaimed at each new wonder. After viewing Horseshoe falls from Goat island and, visiting Three Sister island the entire party donned oilskins again and took the sail in the Maid of the Mist, without which no wedding trip to the falls has been complete for a half century. After this they crossed into Can ada for their brief visit, driving through Victoria park and then to the, home of George Y. Grant, chair man of the park commission, where a brief reception was held. Upon the return to the American side the party was far behind its schedule, but theJBelgians insisted upon tak ing a ride on the George trolley road, that they might see the toss ing, turbulent waters of the whirl pool rapids., Only then were they content to board a special train to be brought to Buffalo. Greeted by Mayor. , The train was stopped at Terrace station and the party stepped from their car onto a landing platform, which led to a temporary receiving stand, where they were greeted by Mayor Buck and a committee of citizens. . In the square opposite the station was a guard of honor made up of hundreds of American, soldiers, many of them wearing decorations for valor. They marched in review before the commander of Belgium's armies. The royal party then were taken to the home of Mrs. C. W. Good year, which was turned over to them for their stay in the city. Their majesties were the guests of honor this evening at an informal dinner at the Goodyear home. The party returned to the train at 8 o'clock and a half hour Jater start ed for Toledo, which was to be' the last definite stop on thes trip to Santa Barbara, Cal. The train will be sidetracked at some quiet place during the night and will not reach Toledo until noon. The monarchs will remain in the city an hour, but there will be no formal ceremonies. The royal party will visit Toledo as friends of Brand Whitlock; for mer mayor of that city, rather than as the rulers of Belgium. Resignation of Turk Cabinet Presents An Urgent Problem i Paris, Oct. 6. (By jhe Associated Press.) The new situation in Tur key which has arisen through the resignation of the cabinet is regard ed in French circles as confronting the peace conference with another grave and urgent problem. The downfall of the government is 'at tributed to the occupation of Konieh by rationalist forces under Musta pha Kemad, who, according to some estimates, has 300.000 men. The press generally considers that Asia Minor has entirely escaped from the control of Constantinople and that the young Turks are re gaining the upper hand. Some of the newspapers point out that there is no force available to deal with the refractory elements and ask whether thev entente powers are sufficiently united and inclined to the necessary powerful intervention. French official circles direct at tention to the fact that Djemal Pa sha, the new war minister, is the political ally of Mustapha Kemad, and the French generally are of the opinion that the :hange injthe cab inet nay result in stabilizing the government and extending its au thority over greater territory. The sultan's decree, according to the version received by the French authorities, outlines a policy which appears to embody an endeavor to reach an understanding with the nationalists. A new vulcanizing outfit for auto mobile tires operates either, with an ordinary lighting circuit or batteries of a car and is automatically cut off when its work is done, were concerned, as they were organ izing their forces Wednesday morn ing to attack and capture Elaine, but when runners informed the leaders that white men were entering the woods at Hoop Spur they decided to go up and wipe out the gang before entering upon the more serious task of capturing Elaine. They underes timated the size of the force from Helena and the battle resulted. I "Every negro who joined these lodges was given to understand that ultimately he would be called upon to kill white people. Unquestion ably the time for attack had been set, but plans had not been entirely perfected, and the shooting of the officers brought on the insurrection ahead of schedule. "Another scheme used by Hill to obtain money was to appoint lead ing negroes or several of them in each lodge as "private and foreign detectives," furnishing them with large nickel-plated stars and a pair of nickel-plated handcuffs, for which they paid him $50 each. "His meeting at Winchester in August was attended and addressed by white men. He simply played upon the ignorance and superstition of a race of children most of whom can neither read nor write. "I have eross-examihed and talked to at least 100 prisoners at Elaine. They belong to different lodges in that section. The stories they tell are almost identical as to the promises and representations made by Hill. He even toTO them that probably some of the negroes would be called upon to die before 'equal rights' would be assured, bu.t they must look upon themselves as crusaders and die if necessary to secure the freedom of the other members of their race. "A remarkable thing about the developments is that some of the ringleaders were found to be the oldest and most reliable of the negroes whom we have known for the past 15 years. "All lodge meetings . were re- MAID AND ORPHAN USED AS RUSE TO ROB OMAHA STORE Clever Sioux City Shop lifter Tells of Novel Scheme. ri orphan baby and a hired maid were used as a ruse for a clever shoplifting game in Omaha three months ago, with the store of Ben son & Thome as the chief sufferer, according1 to the confession of Mrs. C. P. Crittenten to Sioux City po lice. Mrs. Crittenten is the wife of a prominent real estate man in Sioux City. She was arrested Sunday by authorities there in connection with investigation of thefts from depart ment stores in both Omaha and Sioux City. . More than $3,000 worth of stolen merchandise has been recovered by Sioux City police. Detective L. Stolley of Omaha returned yesterday with a $600 sealskin coat, which Mrs. Crittenten confessed to have stolen from Benson & Thome. She told her story to the Sioux City oolice of how she had adopted an orphan baby and hired a maid, with whom she went through de partment stores, stealing whatever pleased her fancy. The stolen goods wee concealed in the clothes of the quired to maintain an armed 'outer guard' of six sentinels. Hill's usual expression was, 'Get your racks filled for the day to come.'
