OfllDFIELD IS GLENN MADE UNDER ARMS IMPASSIONED Striking Miners Causing Much Disorder and Trouble PANGS OF HUNGER GRIPE Conflicts ' Between Citizens and the Miners Is Imminent The Latter Are Desperate U. S. Troops Or dered, Through Message -From President Roosevelt to General Funston, In Readiness- Situation Is Alarming. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Goldfleld, Nov., Dec. 5. Goldfleld was last night placed under arms. Conflict between the sinking miners and the townspeople Is believed im minent and an appeal has been made to the national government for protec tion. The mine owners yesterday re iterated their determination to resume operations until the Western Feder ntlon agitators have been driven out by the law-abiding workers. The federation In its turn Is prepar ing to make its last stand here in the struggle for existence. The miners' fund are exhausted. Poverty and hunger have gripped the men thrown out of work by the ac tion of the minors' union in calling . . Hho strike and numerous burglaries and holdups recently committed have terrorized many residents of the town. President McKenner of the miners' union has repented his instructions to the miners not to resort to lawlessness but the element In the union dominat-j ed by the Western Federation is bent on a resort to violence. The execu tive committee of the mine workers has received word from Governor Sparks that President Roosevelt will -, furnish federal troops if they are t needed. f San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 5. General ) Frederick Funston, commander of the Pacific division of the army, has re ceived orders from President Rooso-velt-to hold two regiments of troops in readiness to go to Goldfleld on im mediate orders. Washington, D. C, Dee. 5. President Roosevelt Issued orders yesterday to have 'federal troops held in readiness to aid in restoring order at Goldfleld, Nevada. This action was taken upon representation from Governor Sparks of that state that the miners at Gold field were In revolt and riot. Nevada is the one state in the union which has no state militia. Governor Sparks docs not deem the situation such as to justify Immediate federal Interference, ' but as one likely at any time to get beyond ills ability to con trol. What Caused the Trouble. Washington. D. C., Dec. G. Senator and representatives of Nevada here have been advised of the seriousness of the threatened clash. While ver sions of the trouble vary, the direct cause Is said to be the refusal of the miners to accept the cashiers' certifi cates of the John. 8. Cook & Company bank In half payment for their wagesw They demand cash. From Information received here the miners threatened trouble from the first when anything but cash payment wob spoken of by the bank. When the banks were unable to accede to their demands they struck. Realizing that the situation might momentarily be come serious as the entire town of Goldfleld is practically made up of the miners and their families, the banks have been making efforts to effect some settlement or guarantee the min ers pay. Today's alarming dispatches ,fnom the state authorities Indicates that the miners have overthrown all barriers and that amicable settlement of their differences Is no longer pos sible. WlliSOX PALMKIt PAUDOXKl) BY GOV. HOKF SMITH. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Atlanta., Ga., Dee. 5. After serving twenty years In the Georgia peniten tiary, Wilson Palmer has been par doned by Governor Hoke Smith, and left last night for his homo In Pitts burg, Pa. The prison commission In recommending pardon declared that Palmer seemed to be a victim of cir cumstances and had probably been wrongfully convicted on a charge of ' ' burglary. There Beems to have been hardly any evidence against him, but he was I a stranger and was convicted. Pal '' mer strongly declared his Innocence. ' INDICTMENTS OF BOODLE DELEGATES.

The Indict ments are practically the same as ths first two which were rece illy quasn ed Warner and Preismeyer .re char, - ed with accepting money I r ccurinipi the passage of an ordlnam e. SPEECH TODAY (By Leased Wire to T-he Times.) Washington, D. C, Dec. 5. "Secre tary Root yesterday said before the noted gathering- tha had reached the bridge. I will go further we must eross'lt this year. We need we must have further facilities for transpor tation In this great country, and con gress must be made to see the neces sity for Immediate action In develop ing the harbors and inland waterways of the United States." This was the theme of an impassion ed address by Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, to the delegates of the Rivers' and Harbors' Convention, which met this morning in the grand assembly room of the New Willard Hotel. As Governor Glenn concluded his re marks he was met by a rousing ova tion from his colleagues, the 2,000 mem bers of the convention rising from their chairs and cheering the chief executive of the Old North State. Governor Glenn said that $fi.r,l)O,OO0 could he saved on present productions, if producers and 'manufacturers were accorded competent facilities for trans porting their products, "The question, is whether or nor lh" railroads can meet' the demands put upon them," said .Governor Glenn. i "This is answered by the figures n-!,..,n 1... r..,., ,,P li .-, lrr.. ;." '',' " .I ' . 1. I iiuiniuu iiutiioiiiiuif .in. me couiur.v I James J. Kill. He told me that traffic j lias increased 'approximately' 105 per cent, while railroad facilities have in creased but 2'J per cent in the past year. ''..: With future resources of the coun try which cannot even be estimated, and with the incessant demand that the wealth of this country be afford ed transportation, the appropriation asked for from congress that water way transportation can he had is a demand which cannot be put aside, but must be granted. "Not only are the railroads unablo to afford, the transportation needed, but the rates by water In comparison, to those charged for land transporta tion are ridiculously low." ';.;-.- President Fiuley's Address. President Finley spoke next. He, said in part: '"It Is my deliberate opinion that there IS no sound basis for opposi tion to the development of water transportation by those interested in railways, and that, on the other hand, there is no sound basis for opposition to the development of rail transporta tion by those who are Interested in waterways. "Water transportation and rail transportation largely supplement each other. Not only is it true that rail way facilities can be provided In many localities where waterways would be absolutely Impracticable, but, in parts of the United States, the waterways are closed by Ice during the winter months, and the communities adjacent to them must Vepcnd, for the time be ing, wholly upn the railways. But, in localities where navigation is not suspended during the winter months, and during the summer months In the northern section, the railways and the waterways do business success fully side bi' side. "To a large extent, the , waterways are feeders of the railways, and the railways, in turn, are feeders of the waterways." Mr. Finley referred to the systems of water , transportation now In suc cessful operation In many European countries and declared that the peo ple of the Waited States could study with advantage the results attained by them. He also suggested that economists might find In the systems of the differ ent countries a fruitful field for study- as to the relative economic efficiency of rail and water transportation as af fected by the extent to which govern mental participation In transportation Is carried, either through ownership and operation, or through regulation. "It would seem," said' he, "that In those countries in which the govern ment owns the railways, and those In which governmental control of rail ways has been carried furthest, while water transportation is carried on by private enterprise on waterways pro vided and maintained at public cost, water transportation Is economically more efficient for a large proportion of the traffic than is rail transporta tion. On the other hand It would seem that, in those countries in which the railways have had more freedom to adjust their operation to economic1 and business conditions without undue governmental restriction, they are at least as efficient as the water carriers, and, probably more so.

All indications today are that the national committee, at its j meeting Friday wnd Saturday, will select Kansas City as the place to hold the convention -to name President Roosevelt's successor. The first week In June will probably be fixed as the time for the conven tion. Members of the committee, as a rule, are In favok- of un early conven tion.' Another fact that seems settled In advance of the meeting is that Actir; Chairman Harry S. New will bo elect ed chairman of the committee. Mr. New has some opponents in the com mittee, but they are not strong enough to oust him. When the committee meets he will lay before It the resig nation of George li.
