CITIZENS ASK
FOR ARBITRATION

Denver. March "a Republican
special from Cripple Creek last night
says:
The mass meeting called by the
Business Mems committee to discuss
the strike situation packed the opera
house tonight. The attendance was
estimated at 1900. At o'clock Bruno
Hobbs. president of the Bimetallic
bank. called the meeting to order. with
w. F. Littell acting as secretary.
On the opening of the meeting l.. C..
Moore. chairman of the Business Mems
committee. read the following tele-
gram from T. p. Airheart. who went to
Denver for the express purpose of Wis
iting Governor Peabody:
"Governor Peabody says: If either
side of the controversy at Colorado
City should ask me to assist in a set
tlement of the trouble there. | would
be only too glad to use my good offices
in that direction. | will go to Colorado
City or Cripple Creek II l can do any
good
Mr.. Moore then introduced a set of
resolutions. which had been formulat-
ed by the committee, in part as fol-
lows:
Resolved. That we urge upon the
cOnIenulnS parties at SOlOrauO 1lty,
and each of them. the advisability and
wisdom of submitting their differences
in the present controversy for consid-
Grafton and adjustment to a commits
sion to be appointed by the governor
of this state for this purpose.
Resolved That we likewise urge on
Gov. James II. Peabody the Importance
of such methods of settlement TO the
persons involved. and greater still, to
the public at large. and to that end ask
that he accept the trust if the same
shall be proposed. and likewise that he
use his good offices with the contend
ing parties in every way consistent
with all honor and justice to all par
ties. to bring about such settlement.
Resolved That the chairman and
secretary of this meeting forward with
all convenient speed copies of these
resolutions to each of the contending
parties at Colorado City and to Gov.
Peabody and furnish the same to the
press of the state"

Colorado Springs, Colo, March o.
The Colorado City Millmen's Union
was yesterday notified by Brig. Gen.
Chase, commanding the militia quar-
tered at that place, that the strikers
would again be permitted to station
pickets about the three boycotted
mills. This order materially relieves
the tension prevalent for the past for
ty-eight hours. the dispersion OF the
union pickets having caused more Dit
ter feeling among the strikers than
any action of the authorities since the
calling out OF the troops.
1t was announced that the union In
tended to take legal steps to secure
permission to establish pickets, and 1t
was feared that the rougher element
would take radical meaures ans resort
to violence to station their men at
places forbidden by the authorities.
Neither the officials of the union
nor the brigade officers would discuss
the subject more than to corroborate
the report that the strikers would not
be interefered with in their picketing
duty. The impression is prevalent
that the quiet attitude and orderly ac-
tions of the men caused the reversal
of the prohibitive order of two days
ago.
The streets of Colorado City were
quiet. save for the presence of the
usual loungers and visitors from the
Springs and surrounding places. The
permit allowing saloons to keep open
at night resulted most satisfactorily
last night. and the order will probably
be allowed to stand indefinitely.

feel that the previous action OF the
board in requesting his resignation, be
sustained.
Respectfully submitted.

THE conclusion of the board is all
that | have received said the COVER
nor last night. after Secretary Gabriel
had delivered the statement and given
brief verbal report to the executive.
Until see the report of the testimony
can form no Judgment. One thing
that can be announced positively is
that there will be no whitewashing in
this, or any other case of the kind"
The secretary declined to go into
details last night regarding his position
on the question, but was emphatic in
declaring that he was not convinced
that the testimony warranted a report
such as was signed by the other men,
bers of the board.
AN investigation was made. lasting
three days" said Mr.. Gabriel "Testi-
mony. was taken during that time. 1t
is still in the notes of the stenographer
Until it is transcribed l do not propose
to make any report upon an investiga-
tion of that kind Basing 1t upon MY
experience with the institution, there
is nothing substantial in the evidence
to justify report of that kind"

to the mercy seat, where the burden OF my
sins were rolled away, and knew my name

didn't stop there. Ny heart went out to the
suffering crowds about me. and conse-
Grated my life to the cause OF helping them.
From that conservation the Salvation Army
developed.
mot long after that found myself in the
streets preaching. and have been preaching
ever since. My wife also preached, my
children preached. and since coming to

begun to preach. l hope the remaining
