Trinidad, Colo., May B—Major day among the strikers at Sopris and Holbrook with his staff spent the Segundo, impressing upon them the advisability of peacefully surrendering arms.

At military headquarters it was said no forcible search would be ’made for arms after-£lie Issuance of the proclamation. Colonel Lockett informed District Attorney J. J. Hendricks that, while martial law had not been formally declared, he considered the district under the absolute authority of troops, but that that authority -would be exercised only when it was found that county officers were unable to cope with any given situation. . He told the district attorney that he had knowledge of certain saloons selling liquor, in spite of the strict prohibition imposed by the federal officers, and that such sale pnust be stopped completely and immediately. If the district attorney’s office could not enforce prohibition the federal troops could and would. Urgent appeals were made by operators in the northern coal fields to Colonel Lockett, commanding the federal troops in the southenu.fields, for additional soldiers to protect mines there, which, they say, had been threatened by strikers.

Ralph Dorn, commanding the 20 guardsmen occupying that district, reported that the strikers had removed children from Oak Creek and that the citizens feared an outbreak.
