JOSEPH BEDDALL DIED PROM ASSAULT The Eighth and Twelfth Regiments Are Encamped on a Hill Overlook ing the City Mine Workers Peti tion to Have the Troops With drawnGeneral Gobln's Statement. By Kxclusiic Wire from The Associated Press. Shenandoah, Pa., July 31. Twelve hundred state troops are camped to night on a hill overlooking: Shenan doah. Down in the town, where rioters and policemen fought the bloody battle last night, all Is quiet, and the Indica tions are that so long as the mllltla re mains, the peace of the community will not ngaln be broken. The riot, which caused the soldiers to be sent here, :ame like a' Hash and was over almost as quickly ns It had started, and since then there has not been a single case of violence reported. The tens of thou ' sands of Idle men and bovs In this vicinity, who had been gathering in large numbers and marching from 1 place to place, did not repeat their demonstrations today and the author ities, Consequently, had little or noth ing to dn. The arrival of the citizen soldiery proved to be a great attraction for the large army of unemployed, and hun dreds of men and boys came to town to see the troops. The first companies to arrive jame from St. Clair at 6.30 a. in., and from that hour up to 3 p. in., when the Governor's troop of cavalry disembarked and galloped up the main street, Shenandoah presented a lively appearance. Most of the commands were on the ground by 10.30 o'clock. .The companies that did not arrive until afternoon were delayed on the railroad, while the troop of cavalry was handi capped because of the shipping of their mounts. Brigadier General J. P. S. Gobln, of the Third brigade, in command of the troop3 here, and his staff were on the scene early. The camp is located on a very high hill, just outside the town proper, and commands a full view of the town. Within the camp lines nre quartered two full regiments the Eighth and Twelfth, two companies of the Fourth regiment and the troop of cavalry. General Gobin expressed him self as highly pleased with the rapid ity with which the camp was estab lished. The commander and his staff are quartered at the Ferguson house, but it is the general's intention to get under canvas with his staff as soon as circumstances will permit. Beyond the presence of a group of soldiers here and there on the principal street, Shenandoah does not show any , evidence of having passed through a trying ordeal. The large number of persons who had been attracted to the lace by the coming of the militia left luring the afternoon and tonight the lown presents Its normal appearance. Foreign Population Shy. The major portion of the population Is made up of foreigners and, as a rule, they kept close to their homes during the day. It is clalmctl by the citizens of the town that the foreign element was solely responsible for the trouble, Most of ihe curious persons gathered in the vicinity of the Philadelphia rail road depot where the riot occurred. The station shows many bullet marks of the battle. A strong guard was rdueed around the station so that the crowd Mould not delay the soldiers as tfiey let, the trains and marched to he camping ground. Contiary to popular belief Shenan- loah is not under martial law. The local authorities and the sheriff of the county have not relinquished con trol of the town or county and they remain In as complete control of their respective aflnlrs as they did before the troops cached here. The soldiers are 'meiely in camp on the outside of lb town. It wus deemed udvlsable, A however, by the brigadier-general to establish provost guard In certain parts of the town. Major Norman S. Far qulinr, of Pottsvllle, Is the provost mar shall. So long as the situation remains ns It Is at present there Is not any nihilhood that the regimental com panies will be scattered through the mining towns of Schuylkill county. It Is the intention of General Gobln to hf.vo the troops occupy tliu'r time by colng through drills, target practice and Fonn-al camp routine. General Gobln spent a busy day In forming himself of the situation throughout the county. Ho had a per sonal Interview with Sheriff S. now 'and Rcid&ll In the morning and a telephone conference with him in the nfHwieoti, The general also received messages from nrloiiK parts of the territory. Gen. Gobln's Statement. In an In'crvlew with tho correspond ent of thd Associated Press tonight Gcneial Gobin said: Tho general bltuatlon Is very quiet. Tliero were no Incidents during the "July worthy of note, except tlio arrival of 6C0 i or 600 men on freight t ruins. Jt seems thut a lot of the Idle men, for want of something better to do, Jump freight truing ii nu ride from ono town to another. They call such rides "Johnny Mitchell ex. curslonb.'1 I have received dispatches from illf. ferent parts of the county which tell of meetings, marclua, uttucks on Individuals, Violations of the law, and the refusal of v local police authorities to enforce the law.

The National Guard has no opinion to express as to tho merits of the' question agitated by either side to tho controversy, as that is not within its province. The mine workers are grmtly In censed over tho calling out of the troop's. They assert that thl action was entirely unwarranted and Is an unjustriable expense on the ata'". Tin stilku's, tl'iough their ouiclal, pic ,maklug an effort to have the soldiers withdrawn. The first step In this dl lertlon wti taken this nftcrnoiM when the following telegram wa suit to Uovornor Stone: We, tho undersigned officials of the Ninth district of the miners' union, be lieve that tho request made to you to send troops to Shenandoah was based on exaggeration, and, as wo are confirmed In this belief, wo respectfully request you to send a personal representative Into this town to Investigate tho conditions, and nftcr such Investigation believe that you will learn that the presence of the troops In this town Is unnecessary and that the order should be revoked. Signed Miles Dougherty. Martin Pow Isls, Tcrrcncc Glnley, J. T. -Williams, T. J. Richards. It Is said the mine workers' officials Intend to clrculnte among the citizens of the town for signatures to n petition calling upon the governor to withdraw the troops. Story of Beddall Affair. Miles Dougherty, national board member of the United Mine Workers from this district, told the Associated Press representative tonight that Dep uty Sheriff Thomas Beddall, who Is a nephew of the sheriff of the county, and" who was escorting workmen along the street, which action led to the riot, was wholly responsible for the trouble. Mr. Dougherty says that Beddall had no good reason to shoot, as no one was making nn attack on him. Tho firing of the revolver, he said, angeied the crowd, which soon got beyond the con trol of the peacemakers. .Beddall's brother, Joseph, who attempted to go to his rescue, was badly beaten by some one In the crowd, Mr. Dougherty said, because he wus carrying several boxes of cartridges to his brother Thomas. It Is not Improbable that the strikers will call upon the county officers to fix the responsibility for the shooting on the deputy sheriff. Tho district leaders of the miners' union held several conferences during the day, at which the situation was thoroughly gone over. Committeeman Dougherty made a full report to Presi dent Mitchell by telephone. This after noon the miners' advisory board of this vicinity, which Includes the officers ot tho several local unions In this region, held a secret meeting, at which plans were devised to prevent any Intended breaks In the ranks of the strikers. One of tho things decided upon was to hold frequent meetings of strikers and have them addressed by the various district leaders. There was a large mass meeting of foreigners held here this afternoon, in which Lithuanians, Hungarians and Poles took part. Half a dozen speeches were made. General indignation was expressed by air of the speakers against the bringing of the troops to Shenandoah. Joseph Beddall Dead. Joseph Beddall died shortly after 10 o'clock tonight. He was a brother of Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddall and a nephew of S. It, Beddall, the sheriff of this county. He was 33 years of nge, and was a member of the Beddall-Tag-gart company, wholesale' and retail hardware dealers, of this rsltv.

We want your positive, pointed und hpeclllc condemnation of boycotting, riot ing, unlawful assembly, violence, perpe trated to prevent men from working. Does the union condemn these specific things? Do you condemn these specific things? We know, of course, that in your heart you must condemn them, but we urge you to proclaim your condemnation for tho sake of Justice and peace.
