A tens situation has developed here today with more than 500 armed citizens walking the streets looking for an outbreak on the part of the striking copper miners and their sympathizers. Intense bitterness has developed over the testimony the coroner's inquest into the death of seventy-two victims of the Christmas eve panic. Only two of the witnesses thus far heard testified that the panic makers wore an Alliance button, so this phase of the matter will be further probed. The feeling between the strikers and mine managers is further intensified by the continued arrival of strikebreakers. Picture Films Stolen. 'The theft of the moving picture films of the big funeral also has increased the bitter feeling. The film operator reported that his room in the hotel where the pictures were kept had been broken into and the lilm Btolen. The citizens have determined that the Western Federation of Miners shall be forced out of the district. ' Leading members of the Citizens Alliance today declared that the Federation of Miners agents would be driven out of the region and that C. H. Moyer, who is now in Chicago recovering from a bullet wound, will not be permitted to return to the district. IS CLOSELY GUARDED. - CHICAGO, Dec. 30.

The battalion armory at Ashland avenue and Thirteenth street was destroyed by fij of mysterious origin a week ago and officers of the national guard admit that precautionary measures are to be taken to guard against incendiarism at Battery A armory. National guardsmen from all over the state were quartered at these armories during the street car strike. MADAME NORDICA SAVED FROM DEATH BRIBANE, Australia, Dec. 30.

Although living In a room at 13 South Sixth street, where conditions were bad, patrolmen who removed Charles Nichols to Reid Memorial hospital yesterday said he had bank books showing a total of more than $500 deposited in two local banks. Nichols, who has no friends or relatives that the officers have been able to locate, insisted on living alone with no one to care for him. He resented the suggestion made by Patrolman Westenberg early last week that he go to the hospital. The reason given by Nichols for placing his money in more than one bank was that he was afraid one of them would fail and leave him without funds. Attendants at the hospital reported His physical condition much improved today, Dut that his mental condition was giving the physicians the most trouble. FELT MONEY PINCH NEW YORK, Dec. 30. W. A. Marble and John A.

After three hours work the firemen got the fire under control. FIGHT STARTED FOR RAMPOLLA'S ESTATE ROME, Dec. 30. A legal fight for the estate of the late Cardinal Rampolla was begun today by Princess Alteri, wife of the Duke of Campobello, the Cardinal's nephew. Princess Altieri entered suit to break the will dated 1S89, by which Cardinal Rampolla bequeathed practically all the big estate to his sister, Baroness Perana. At the instance of the Princess, the Cardinal's apartments were resealed ! to prevent anyone from entering. In the bill of particulars the Princess alleges that a will made subsequent to 1SS9 by Cardinal Rampolla, exists. STOVE UP WRONG; BLAZE RESULTED Because Tony and Mike, two Italians, who were moving into a house at 1712 North F street, did not know how to chauffeur an American stove, the fire department made a run shortly after noon today. The Italians got the stove up, but complications in the pipe and chimney kept is from drawing. When they built a fire all the smoke poured into the house and out the doors and windows. Firemen showed them how to manage a stove and send the smoke up the chimney.

DON'T FORGET, KIDS, PENNY CLUB "FEED1

Donations From Sunday Theatres Have Made Banquet Possible. MRS. TRAUM SPEAKER "Without the liberal donations from the receipts of the Sunday picture shows it would have been impossible for the Penny club to have given a dinner to the poor children of the city" said Mrs. M. F. Warfel, in telling of the plans for the dinner, to be held tomorrow noon. "We have received more than $300 from theatres since last April, when they first opened on Sunday. Mr. Murray alone has given us more than $200 from the receipts at the Murrette." The Penny club annually treats the poor youngsters of the city to a dinner generally given on the last day of the vear. This year they have planned to ed more than 400 children and have made their preparations accordingly. Some of the things that have been ordered by the club members are 250 pounds of chicken, soO pounds or candy, 300 doughnuts, SO quarts of cranberries, 50 loaves of bread, 10 gallop of ice cream, 2 bushels of applbushels of Irish potatoes, and or el of sweet potatoes. Of these Tcle&, all have been bought by e Penny club exept 75 pounds f ndy, donated bvtbe Municipal .hrfstmas tree. To Have Cfrs"1" Tree. Tne dinner wj'be held in the Pythfsrt TemDle a noon tomorrow. The entire club, nambering about 75 members, will at as cooks, waitresses, and in what " other capacities necessary. The children will be addressed by Mrs. S. W. Traum and music by various members will also entertain the little guests. A Christmas tree will be erected in the room and after the dinner, toys, dolls and books will be distributed. The dolls have been dressed by the women of the Penny Club, and have been ready for the event for more than two months. "Any deserving poor child will be admitted to this dinner," said Mrs. Warfel "Our method of discovering needy children is by the arrangement of ward committees, which investigate in different ways and invite all of the worthy youngsters. Formerly we have given out tickets, but this time we will not bother with them, any child who appears to be needy will be admitted. The public does not seem to know that we are glad to have them visit the hall while the dinner is being served. We are glad to have any one who is interested in the work come and witness the event." T A FOR WORKING GIRLS New Plan Considered by Promoters of a Guest House. Members of the board of directors of the guest house stated today that if the institution is opened here soon, it will be in a rented house and not in a new building. The decision was reached by the board recently, members being afraid they would have a "white elephant" on their hands should they erect a new building and the project fail in its purpose. There are several members of the board of directors seeking a house large enough to accommodate at least thirty girls. Several dwellings have been offered for rent, but the largest of these would furnish sleeping accommodations for not more than eighteen girls, it is said. The house must be large enough not only to furnish sleeping quarters but there must be several large extra rooms, a member of the board said today. "The girls who will live in the guest house, will board and sleep there and make the place their home, if the plans of the directors are carried out. The option on the old Friends school house on North B street has not yet expired and this will be kept available. If a house cannot be found, the school may be remodeled. This plan was given up some time ago because of the large outlay of money necessary in changing the house to meet conditions. There is enough money in the treasury of the guest house promoters, they say, to rem a nome at once, should a sufficient large house be found. The amount of money on hand was not given out. SMALL FORCE WAS GIVEN EMPLOYMENT Work was . resumed at the GaarScott plant yesterday with fifteen men employed in getting out an order for a number of engines for the Russian market. W. H. Campbell, superintendent of the plant, today declined to make any statement regarding the number of orders that have been booked. It is understood that it is the intention of the company to increase i the number of employes as rapidly , a sconditions will warrant. NEW YEAR'S CARDS A Beautiful Line. New and Artistic.
