UNITED STATES TROOPS FORCE MINE GUARDS TO LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS AND MACHINE GUNS

BY LEASED WIRE DENVER, Colo.. May 7. Governor Ammons today, explaining the action of the appropriations committee of the house late yesterday in recommending the issue of $1,000,000 worth of bonds for payment of the militia expenses incurred by Colorado's strike troubles, which was a quarter of a million more than expenses already entailed, said the additional $250,000 would provide for the militia's expenses if the state's soldiers should ue ordered out after the United States troops had been withdrawn. The committee's action is considered a notable victory for the administration. Sharp opposition against the provision for any more bonds than necessary to meet the debts already incurred, was declared certain in both houses when the matter comes up. Legislators affiliated with labor unions said they would contest any extra appropriation for the reason that they guard the militia as markedly favorable to the coal operators. Other members of both houses asserted that they would

Columbian Survivors Fight Off

Sharks Attracted BY LEASED WIRE BOSTON, May 7. Harrowing tales of the horror of fire and explosions at sea which sent the. Ley land liner Columbian to her doom were told today when the thirteen survivors, rescued in an open boat by the Cunard liner Franconia were landed here today. Several of the survivors were in so serious a condition that they were sent to the marine hospital at Chelsea. The body of a fourteenth member of the Columbian's crew was also brought on the Franconia. All the way up from Quarantine the Franconia was saluted by all craft in the harbor. Owing to the weakened condition of the survivors, Captain David F. Miller of the Franconia, who had talked with all those rescued, told the tales of the survivors. Between Fire and Water. "The ropes on the boat in which the thirteen survivors and the dead man got away," he said, "fouled in the block while the boat was being lowered into the water, and the boat was left suspended in the air about five feet above the surface of the water. Above the flames were bursting from open port holes. "Finally they got the boat in the water by cutting the rope with an axe and letting it drop into the sea. "The flames scorched the men and threatened to set fire to the boat. On the surface of the water some oils or chemicals were burning fiercely and LATE MARKET NEWS CHICAGO GRAIN Furnished by Correll and Thompson, I. O. O. F. Bldg. Phone 1446.

oppose the recommendation because they believed that to send militia again into the field would simply mean a recurrence of violence. Disarm Mine Guards. The disarming of mine guards by the federal troops began in the Southern coal districts today. The guards agree to surrender their arms only after they would be given protection by the troops on company property. After all the guards have been disarmed, Colonel James Lockett, commanding the United States troops in the southern district will issue a proclamation calling upon the strikers and citizens to turn over their arms to the federal troops. The police and county officers will then be disarmed, leaving no weapons in the possession of persons not in the service of the United States. .At Falsenburg, sixty weapons were surrendered by the strikers and at Boulder, Colo., which is in the northern district, the Rocky Mountain Fuel company turned over forty rifles and one machine gun.

by Dead Mate two men who had jumped overboard were badly burned about the face. "The chief steward died in the boat and two hours after his death three huge sharks came along side. "The sight of these sharks affected the mean greatly. They had been in the boat Several hours and weakened by exposure, desperately tried to fight off the sharks by striking them with boat hooks and oars. But the sharks merely moved out of reach and continued to swim around the boat. "So quickly did the fire break through the hatches' ventilators that the men in the forecastle had great difficulty in making their way aft to the boat deck and many of them were burned or scorched. "The men believed there were great quantities of matches or some other inflammable cargo stored on the cattle deck and in this way they account for the fact that the whole forward part of the ship was afire at once. Gale Threatens Survivors. "After getting away from the ship early Monday morning in their burned and exhausted condition with their boat leaking and the chief steward dying, the wind began to freshen. It blew a gale and with bailing and rowing the men almost gave up hope. "Just at dawn a big passenger steamer passed closely by them. They nearly collapsed when they thought they had not been seen. It was the Franconia and half an hour later we passed again and picked up the boat." and thin calves $6.507.00.

WILL HOT INTERRUPT

Si St Is As L Henry Johanning Delays Demand for Interpretation of Injunction. Henry H. Johanning will permit the carnival in Beallview park peacefully to complete its schedule here this week before he demands an interpretation of the injunction of Judge Fox, issued in 1911. There is some doubt as to the construction of it. Some attorneys believe Johanning is justified in his stand, while others Bay the South Side Improvement association is not in contempt of court. Mr. Johanning said today that misinterpretation of a statement he made Monday has caused some persons to believe he is criticising the management of the Indianapolis Glove company. However, this shot was aimed at the South Side Improvement association. Mr. Johanning says the he and other stockholders have received no dividends nor accountings of funds received by the association as rent for the grounds and building occupied by the glov ecompany, and that the glove company is entirely separate in its management and ownership from the improvement association. Should Johanning demand an interpretation of the injunction of Judge Fox against the improvement assiciation, the case will receive a transfer of judge, it was announced today by Judge Fox. The judge has not read the injunction since he issued it, he says, and he is not familiar with its details. However, it probably will not come before him again. AMUSEMENTS The unqualified and sensational success of "The Traffic" at Jo Howard's theatre, Chicago, where it is playing to packed houses nightly with every prospect of continuing for many months to come, has prompted the management to put forth another company of equal merit to meet the demand created for this remarkable piece in other cities. The engagement in this city has been set for Saturday, matinee and night, at the Gennett theatre. In its naked story of the traffic in girls that is disgracing civilization, "The Traffic" tells graphically the plot which enmeshes forlorn Agnes and reduces her to the last extremity of wretchedness and shame and this largely through her devotion to her invalid sister. In its settings the play is vividly, realistic as in its action, dialogue and episodes. David Belasco might have schemed the scenic investiture of the piece, so accurate and atmospheric it is. "Night On Broadway." How like a flock of butterflies which flit from flower to flower is the best description you can imagine of the cutey cutey chorus which accompanies Harry Emerson in Halton Powell's big musical comedy surprise "Night On Broadway." In this musical marmalade, Emerson plays the same type of a jolly middle-aged German, a type he was so long identified with in "Gay New York," the musical comedy he made famous from coast to coast. This season Mr. Powell has surrounded Emerson with the best company he has ever had and the musical part of the show will vie with any of the Broadway attractions, not forgetting his never tiresome Hinky Dee the song with a hundred verses. The electric effects, are the most marvelous ever used for stage effects. The scenery was painted by New York's best artists. "Night On Broadway" will be the attraction at the Murray tonight and Friday and Saturday. L. IVI. HAYS Call Conkey Drug Co.

BOARD COMMENDS KELLY'S SERVICES

Educators Send Earlham President Recognition of Work for State. President Robert L. Kelly of Earlham college today received a copy of the resolution passed by the state board of education at the last session which commended him for his years of faithful and wise service as a member of the board. President Kelly was a member of the board for nine years. George R. Grose, president of DePauw, was appointed to take his place. The resolutions are as follows: "Resolved, That the state board of education upon the occasion of the completion of the term of service of President Robert L. Kelly as a member of the board, desires to place on record an expression of its esteem and its confidence In him. President Kelly, by reason of his integrity and his superior knowledge of educational affairs, has been an unusually useful and effective servant of the state during his nine years of membership upon the board; and by his personal qualities has endeared himself to its members. The board, therefore, takes pleasure in adopting this resolution, and directs that the same be entered upon its records and that a copy of the same be sent to President Kelly." C. & O. STOCK WEAK NEW YORK, May 7. Trading was almost 'wholly professional at the opening of the stock market today and prices were lower. Some of the active issues which had begun fractionally higher, lost their advances. Union Pacific commenced above Wednesday's final, but quickly lost its advance. Chesapeake and Ohio was exceptionally weak. After opening higher it sold down to 51 for a loss of a point. United States Steel Common opened unchanged, then scored a 6light gain which it immediately lost. Canadian Pacific declined and the same loss was sustained in Western Maryland.

Union Plans to Restore House Occupied by Aged Slave Couple

An effort is on foot to restore the home of Preston and Mary Foster, the colored couple whose little house at 75 Bridge Avenue was burned almost to the ground In February. The movement is being carried on by a committee of the Citizens' union consisting of Dr. W. W. Anderson. C. R. Richardson.' A. R. Ward and Rev. Frank M. Ovelton. ... The Fosters have reached the century mark and probably have passed it - But when their 6lave master committed suicide long before the Civil war was even expected, the records of the birth of Mr. Foster were destroyed. Mrs. Foster has no conception of her age. Mr. Foster still bears a scar, which is almost as old as the city of Richmond itself, of a blow he received while a small slave boy picking cotton on a plantation. His master, while beating him. cut open his scalp and the wound healed unevenly. The Fosters are almost too feeble to do anything. Mrs. Foster can hardly move, but her husband is still able to hoe his garden plot. Mrs. Mary Frame Selby assisted them last year and with the harvest of their garden, they were able to live in their home until the fire. It is now proposed to restore the house. Members of the Citizens union committee have asked that any person desiring to donate money towards this end, leave it at the Palladium office and any lumber or other material useful to the old colored couple, will be sent for if word is left at the Palladium. "I would die In the road trying to come back to Richmond," was the reply the old colored man gave to several persons who proposed to solve the Fosters' problem of existence by sending them to the poor farm.
