The Indictments were in connection with the recent trial of Tony Stafford, who was convicted on charges growing out of the shooting up of Glen White, a mining town, two years ago. The accused union officer testified at the trial Miniature Battle Staged Occurs Despite the Rigid Precautions--Hob. Spirit Is Now Being Held |N| Check--8trlke Called Off.- Berlln, March 22.---The number of dead throughout Germany during the past week Is now placed at 3,000 by the ministry of defense. In the iron grip of martial law Berlin was quiet for the greater part of the day, though a miniature battle between Ebert troops and the Baltic brigade resulted in considerable bloodshed. With extraordinary courts-martial, including drumhead proceedings, ready to crush all disturbances, and with special military permits required for citizens to appear in the streets, the mob spirit which terrorized this city for a full week is for the time being held In check. But the general strike haft been called off--so far without appreciably easing the nation-wide paralysis. The government of President Ebert, which left Berlin a week ago when Dr. Wolfgang Kapp and his reactionary troops entered the city, is again in power in the capital. President Ebert and the members of his ministry reached here at eleven o'clock SundayN morning from Stuttgart, and soon afterward the order for a state of Intensified siege was withdrawn. Meanwhile the signs and symbols of the Kapp dictatorship, the wire entanglements and the barricades, were being removed. Drunk with power, the radical masses are showing signs of breaking away from the more moderate leaders and Insisting npon making their victory complete by establishing a soviet republic. Even where the "reds" show a disposition to heed the orders from the Berlin chiefs the latter have tremendous difficulties In making their wishes known, because of the empire-wide tieup of communication. Berlin knows little of what is going on in northern, western and southern Germany, but what little news reaches here by roundabout routes is not encouraging. Many days of civil warfare appear yet ahead and some close observers believe the decisive battle for supremecy between the reds and non-radicals la still to come. Severe measures, amounting to a state of siege, were placed In effect by President Ebert for Berlin. All persons are ordered off the streets after sundown and any one carrying aims will be shot without farther parley. The general strike In Berlin has been ended with the granting of the workers' terms. The unions' demands follow; 1. Disarmament and punishment of the Kappist troops. 2. Push the punishment of the government officials who recognized the Kappist authority. 3. The dissolution of all counter-revolutionary organizations and the creation of a defense force composed exclusively of union workmen. 4. Immediate legislation on the rights .of employees to co-operate with employers in the management of enterprises. 5. Socialization of the mines, potash industry, and electrical industry. 6. Enlargement of the program of social legislation. 7. The retirement of Minister of Defense Noske.

Mr. Logsdon is one of the five coal operators arrested by federal officials and one of the 125 men, operators or miners, indicted by a federal grand Jury here for alleged conspiracy to enhance the price of coal.

If this is true, he said, It Is possible conferences to establish a new wage scale effective April 1 will be postponed Indefinitely and that miners will refuse to work after April 1, when the present contract expires. The statement asserts that the government's action is inconsistent with the statement given out by President Wilson wherein he urged operators and miners to get together under the majority report of the commission which Investigated the coal situation and in effect gave sanction to the idea of coUective bargaining lp tfe# cool industry.' • RwHjrrattofTof German litaiittr of Defense Accepted by BOTH SIDES KILL GOTIVES COMMANDER AS A PRISONER T.

Terror and Atrocities Begin, to Mark the Bitter Civil Struggle at j|pvtj> Mil" Officers' Noses and Catii v j Are Cut Off. Berlin, March 24.--Gustav Noske, minister of defense, presented his resignation to President Eber^ and the president accepted it. Other cabinet changes are Imminent. Terror and atrocities have begun to mark the bitter civil struggle between government troops and the radicals. "No quarter" is the slogan on either side. There was heavy fighting at Alflershof, the workingmen's section of Berlin. Communists overpowered a company cf volunteers on duty there, disarmed them and killed all officers, according to a statement given out by the ministry of defense. The ministry's dally commulque on the fighting in Berlin and throughout Germany resembles the days of the great battles during the war. The ministry's communique asserts: "The officers were bestially treated. Their noses and ears were cut off." Other troops were sent against Aldershof during the night. They stormed the workers' camp. Twenty communists were killed in the fighting; 24 others were stood against a wall and summarily shot. Amplifying his statement, the minister of defense said that "for strategic reasons" the government troops had been largely drawn into the barricaded section of northern Berlin, back of the Spree river and the Hohenzollern canal. In that section many of the streets are heavily barricaded, recalling the days of the Paris commune. But despite this precaution Gen. von Seeckt ordered all his advance posts to fall back behind the river and canal, leaving only detachments to protect the stock yards, the slaughter ho^se and the warehouse. Rifle and machine-gun fire disturbed the cold and drizzly night in other sections of the city, national guard detachments making raids on radicals In Neukoeln, . Tempelhof and other suburbs. "The situation In Berlin is very black, and anyone who says the contrary commits a crime against the people," said Major Krieger, chief of the intelligence department of the ministry of defense. » - Bitter, stubborn fighting Is expected in Berlin. Gen. von Seeckt is refitting the tanks left In the city. Paris, March 24.--The Temps says the various parties In Germany are Inciting the other to take the offensive against the conditions of The peace treaty, and expressed the fear that if the allies afe not on their guard German anarchy ultimately will bring a renewal of German aggression. The allies, according to the Temps, should deliberate immediately on the best way of effectively disarming Germany. The newspaper Insists the United States should participate, as, whether the United States eventually ratifies or falls to .ratify the treaty, America is directly interested in maintaining the peace of Europe, which can only be assured by the disarmament of Germany. It is the allies' duty to seize the opportunity to resume conversations with the Washington government and to make it a party to their decisions," the Temps says. A Geneva dispatch says the Germans are preparing a formidable world propaganda In favor of a revision of the Versailles treaty and the holding of a new international conference, at which vanquished nations might be represented, to change or eliminate many clauses.
