Ok EVERETT November 5. Seven men are known to have been killed and more than forty wounded, several-probably fatally, in a pitched battle this afternoon at the Everett city wharf between 250 members of the Industrial Workers of the World and a citizens' posse headed by Sheriff Don McRae. More than 1,000 shots are estimated to have been fired during the brief encounter, which was terminated by the engineer of the Verona, an excursion boat, which brought the party of I. W.

W.s to Everett, pulling away frorri the wharf, breaking the hawser which held the ship. Including the wounded, there are 294 men and three women under arrest here. Forty-one men were taken from a second steamer which failed to reach Everett. The women in jail are Mrs. Hubbard Mahler, Miss Edith Frenette and Mrs.

H. Peters. They were taken from a motor bus which had conveyed them from the northern boundary of Seattle, where they had disembarked from an Everett interurban It is alleged by the Seattle police that Miss Frenette tried to throw red pepper into the eyes of Sheriff McRae while he was being conveyed to a hos-. pital in Everett. Adjutant General Maurice Thmpson was in Everett to-night making an investigation of the affair, with authority from Governor Ernest Lister to call out the National Guard, if necessary, for the protection of the town.

ARTILLERY CALLED UNDER ARMS Four companies of coast artillery, four companies of infantry and two divisions of the naval militia, stationed at Seattle, have been ordered under arms and all other National Guard organizations in Seattle have been ordered to report immediately for duty. THE DEAD: GERLOT, HUGO, aged 24, Milwaukee, seaman. CURTIS, C. formerly lieutenant Company National Guard of Washington, on special recruiting duty. LOONEY, JOHN, aged 26.

Ayer Junction, laborer. In a sensational raid on a Chinese den at 939 Stockton street early yesterday morning the police took five Chinese girls ranging in age from 9 to 21, the Chinese proprietor and his wife, and three visiting' Chinese. Seven women connected with tno management of the Chinese Oriental home, 940 Washington street, who planned the raid, assisted the police, who were compelled to break down doors and force their way through several secret passageways where the girls were hidden. Following are the Chinese taken: Amy Noe, 9 years old, and Jennie Noe, 11, said to be daughters of the keepers of the alleged disorderly house. Ah Ling Ah So, 21, and Yee Lahn, 19.

The two last are said recently to have been bought by the proprietor. Lee Suey Chung, proprietor, and Lee Shee, his wife. How Young Bing, Yu Quang and Ah Wong, visitors. RAID CN AT DAWN. The girls are being cared for at tiie Chinese Oriental Mission, an Institute under the direction of the Methodist Episcopal church.

The owner and his wife and three visitors were arrested, the former on charges of conducting and the latter of visiting a disorderly house. The' women who procured the warrants for the arrests led the police to the place at dawn yesterday and stood guard at the door while the raid was in progress are: Mrs. A. M. Dye, superintendent of the home; Miss Grace Crowe, Miss Anna Crowe, Miss Lulu Weseman, Mrs.

Fred Belt Mrs. Jessie Cullen and Miss Chew, Interpreter. The policemen were H. Curtler and Nelse Miller. The police kicked open the outer door and ascended to the second floor and then entered the slave den by climbing through a transom.

The place was a warren of passages and closeta and the girls were picked up, one by one, fighting viciously as they were taken. A hidden panel blocked a separate apartment. The police found this and smashed it gained access to the room where the three visitors were hiding. All the Chinese, children and adults fought until they were exhausted. ONE A PRIZE PUPIL, When the disheveled crowd was led down the hallway Into the street Miss Crowe recognized little Amy Noe, one of her prize pupils at the Mission school, who left the school two years ago.

The girls seemed reassured when taken to the home and accepted the entire affair very much as a matter of course. For several months, the Stockton street house has been watched by the police, and the management of the home, under the suspicion that It was both a slave and opium den. The raid was set to follow the Suey Sing feast In the hope that some of the tongmen would be trapped at the house. Br Inteinational Newi Suvics NEW YORK, November Thlrty-six'hours before the election day impartial political observers are agreed that the clement of doubt makes the most amazing presidential battle In last thirty years. Both national committee chairmen are sincere when they put forth their claims of "party success.

Both are prepared for surprises. The Republican managers claim the eastern states with a confidence that seems to be a shade stronger than that expressed by their Democratic neighbors. So far as these central western states are concerned, the conditions are reversed. The rock-bottom figures of the Democratic national committee give Wilson a majority In New York State slightly less than 40,000. The Democrats look for a decided slump In the Republican majorities above the.

Bronx and for an average majority below that political Btream. G. 0. P. CONFIDENT.

The Republicans are very confident of their ability to carry New York State. They are willing to concede a shrinkage In the State, but assert It will not be material. Where they expect to make an emphatic gain is In boroughs of Kings and Queens In this city. Although both committees claim New Jersey, Impartial political observers are Inclined to give the President's State to the New York judge. The greatest interest to-night hinges on the trio of central western States Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where it Is generally conceded the result of the presidential contest will be determined.

Republican State Chairman Charles A. Hatfield of Ohio predicted victory for Hughes, Willis and Herrlck by 60,000 to 100.000 to-night W. L. Fin-ley, Democratic State chairman, claims 100,000 plurality for Wilson, and declares the entire Democratic State ticket will win. Betting odds in Columbus to-night slightly favor Wilson; but on the other hand, favor the re-election of Willis as Governor.

Polls of the State show Willis running ahead of his ticket, and with a considerable lead over Cox. INDIANA IN DOUBT. Although Tom Taggart declares Indiana is safely In the Democratic column, naming no figures, however, Republican State Chairman Will H. Hayes declared to-day that the Republicans will carry the State by a large plurality. He declared that the breach w'ith the Progressives has been entirely healed and that the reunited party will sweep Hughes to victory.

Both the Democrats and Republicans claim Illinois by 150,000. Both also claim Cook county, In which Chicago Is situated. A three-qonored fight In Chicago for the State's Attorneyship is expected to have great Influence on the city vote.

Federal Agents Get Facts and ''Will Report to Committee in Effort to Trace, Source of Advance to Prove Violation of Law By iNTItlf ATIONAL NtWI SlITICI WASHINGTON, November 6. Attorney General Gregory authorized to-day the following: formal announcement regarding the Inquiry Into high prices: The Department of Justice Is investigating the recent abnormal and auspicious Increases in the prices of various necessaries of life, especially coal. Wherever any such Increase is found to be due to conspiracy or other unlawful action, the department will Invoke against the offenders the severest penalties which the law prescribes. Three separate Investigations Into the abnormally high price of commodities, it was said at the department, are In progress, with a view of criminal prosecution of persons or corporations responsible for the Increases in the prices of milk, bread and coal The Interstate Commerce Commission also is conducting an inquiry Into the alleged shortage of coal cars, which middlemen claim Is responsible for the rise In the price of coal.

COAL OPERATORS CONSPIRACY HINTED It was said in a high administration quarter to-day. that facts have been uncovered which Indicte a conspiracy on the part of coal operators and the coal carrying railroads to force up arbitrarily the price of coal The railroads claim they cannot handle the coal output of the mines on account of the car shortage, but at both the Department of Justice and the Interstate Commerce Commission it was declared no condition exists which would cause a natural shortage of cars. In further support of the charge that a conspiracy exists, It was said that all sections of the country are Buffering equally, although there would be no cause for distant points to be affected seriously because long hauls are favored. It Is expected that the Interstate Commerce Commission's Inquiry will develop evidence concerning the car situation which will warrant action by the Department of Justice. FEDERAL ACTION DEMANDED From all parts of the country complaints have been received by the Department of Justice," and conslder-able data has been gathered bearing en the situation both from private persons and from the offices of District Attorneys.

All sections of the country have demanded Federal action, and during the past month the department has become convinced that the coal situation Is acute. It was hinted that unless relief is obtained Immediately Congress may be called upon to pass extraordinary legislation for the welfare of the country. The coal operators are understood to maintain that they cannot afford to mine more coal than the railroads can handle and that the facilities of transportation now are such that it would be financially disastrous for them to increase their output. What the Department of Justice must prove to establish its case is a conspiracy for restraint of traffic on the part of the railroads; a conspiracy to reduce production for the purpose of Increasing the price on coal on the part of the operators; and, going Xft the bottom, a conspiracy to withhold coal from the market for the purpose of raising the price on the part of the middlemen. The Department of Justice does not accept the view of Secretary of W.

Cardinal Delia Volpe Is Dead at Rome PIERCE, HARRY, aged 28, Seattle, laborer. BARON, FELIX, laborer. JOHNSON, GUS, laborer.

One unidentified man. At least one other is believed to have been drowned in Everett harbor, after falling overboard, wounded, during the fight at the pier. Sheriff McRae was shot in the leg and Joseph Irving, an Everett lumberman, through the lungs and perhaps fatally wounded. WARNED NOT TO TRY TO LAND The Verona reached Everett shortly before 2 o'clock. The coming of the Industrial Workers of the World invaders had been previously announced in messages sent to Everett from Seattle headquarters.

A call to Industrial Workers of the World members from all qver the State had been issued earlier in the week and the citizens of Everett, at a meeting held Saturday night, planned to meet the invaders and deny them privilege of landing. When the Verona reached the city wharf Sheriff McRae, who was backed by a posse of deputy sheriffs and citizens, stepped forward and informed the men on the boat that they would not be permitted to land. One of the men. evidently spokesman for the party, began arguing with the sheriff and then made a speech. Accounts differ as to the origin of the first shots.

Members of the I. W. W. are unanimous in declaring the citizens posse opened fire. Theodore Laurer, James Bates and A.

L. Emerson, members of the party aboard the boat, asserted that Sheriff McRae fired the first shot and that immediately the posse opened fire upon the men on the boat, which the latter returned. A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT Another account says that, apparently at a signal, armed men on the steamer opened fire on the posse assembled on the wharf. The first man to fall was Sheriff McRae, seriously injured. One man was killed instantly and in a moment the crowd on shore was panic-stricken.

Deputy sheriffs on the wharf quickly rallied their forces, howx sition reads even matelv close to approxi-its face Br Inteimatioval Newi Siitic NEW YORK, November 6. Probably the most serenely confident man, politically, in New York to-day was Charles E. Hughes. He talked freely with his friends and was in better shape physically in better spirits, and had a more definite view of the result of Tuesday's election than at any time since the beginning of his campaign. Mr.

Hughes absolutely believes he will be elected President Tuesday. When the candidate awoke at 10 o'clock this morning, with nothing to do for, the first time since last June, exactly 21 weeks had elapsed since a similar awakening the day following his nomination except that he then had all the labor of the campaign ahead of him. In the intervening period, the candidate declared to-day, the issues have unfolded In precisely the same manner which he had hoped for, right down to last night's demonstration In his home State, Mr. Hughes declared to-day that he was immensely pleased with the Saturday night parade as well as the meeting which followed. He regards them together as a remarkable manifestation of the sentiment which is sweeping the country.

From his own experience, he said to-day, he knows what it means for men to give expression to their political views by marching in a drizzle of rain on a cold night through the city streets. He was flattered that and flattered by the 87 mmutes of cheering which he received upon his entrance into the garden. Tuesday he will vote in a laundry In Eight avenue near Forty-sixth street and in the evening, with his family and no one else around him he will receive the returns In his Br Intiunatiowal Niwi Sitici AS BURY PARK (N. November 6. President Wilson to-night wired the following telegram to every Democratic State and county chairman in the country: I thank you heartily for the splendid work done by you and by all the workers In the cause of progressive principles at Issue in this campaign.

The fight is won, I fully believe; though I take this means of urging you to renew exertions and vigilance to see that belated efforts to confuse the public judgment do not succeed. Our country Is prosperous, secure and happy, and Its prosperity Is upon a sound basis. Steps to protect our commerce and Industry any emergency after the European war ends have been taken. Anti-dumping clause of the so-called war revenue act provides the executive with ample power to prevent "dumping" of European surplus manufactures upon our markets. The tariff commission will shortly be appointed and at work to provide the facts which will determine what other legislation is necessary or desirable.

I am confident that the time haa nassed In America when votes can 11 bought, the ballot box defiled by corrupt practices or the Judgments of the American people determined or Influenced In any way by the use of money. It Is, however, our duty to take every precaution lest conscienceless agents of the sinister forces working In opposition to progressive principles and popular government resort In their desperation to industrial coercion of the evil and Insidious practices of a decade and mora ago.
