Porum Quarrel Has Continued for
Two Years—Dead Man Long
Feared Vengeance.
VIOLATED CONTRACT LABOR LAW
New England Manufacturers on Trial
for Importing Mill Operatives
as Strikebreakers.
Boston, Mass.—An expose of al-
leged violations of the alien contract
labor laws by New England manufac-
turers may follow the arrest of Arthur
Saviile of Bradford, England, whose
hearing on a charge of importing mill
operatives to take the place of strik-
ers at the mills is now on.
Sensational developments were pre-
dicted by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and
other strike leaders. They say it was
on their representations to the fed-
eral immigration officials that the in-
vestigation was started.
Twenty-five mill operatives, who say
they were bound for Harrs from Eng-
land, were detained here as witnesses
against Saviile.
Muskogee, Oklahoma.—Dan Foster,
a constable, w'as shot and killed
from ambush on a lonely country road
In the southern part of Muskogee
county, adding one more murder to the
Davis-Hester, or, as it Is more com-
monly known, Porum feud, which, dur-
ing the last two years, has cost a
score of lives.
Foster's body was found in the
road with two bullet holes in the head.
In a weed field nearby was found the
ambush of the assassin. His tracks
led to where he had his horse con-
cealed, but there the trail was lost.
Evidently the crime was committed
during a heavy electrical storm.
Foster once was a member of the
Davis fnction but later is said to have
deserted them, joining the Hester fac-
tion. Several months ago he was
brought back from Montana to testify
against Bob Davis and Pony Starr,
charged with stealing cattle. On his
testimony many of the secrets of the
feud were revealed. Davis and Starr
were convicted.
Foster had stated but a few days
ago that he feared that he would be
killed if he remained in the county.
He had been in penitentiary four
times, convicted of counterfeiting,
larceny and bootlegging.
The scene of most of the battles in
the feud is near the town of Porum,
around which the leaders of both fac-
tions live. From the town the feud
derives the name by which it is more
commonly known.

America’s Athletic Missionaries.
Writing under this title In Harper’s
Weekly, Edward Bayard Moss de-
scribes our athletic triumph at Stock-
holm In the Olympic games. "Some
idea of the caliber of the athletes and
the competition can be gained from
the fact that thirteen new Olympic
and nine world’s records were estab-
lished during the games. The victory
of Arnold Jackson of Oxford in the
1,500-meter run was the only feature
that redeemed England’s poor dis-
play."
