PRESIDENT BURNS TALKS.
Thinks His Measures Would Have
Prevented Trouble,

Denver, Colo, June 13.-In an inter
view published here concerning the
closing of the Portland mine at Victor
by order of General Sherman NJ. Bell
who is in command of the Teller coun-
ty military district, James F. Burns,
president of the Portland company,
said that nearly one half of the Port
land force were not members of the
miners union.
''There were about four hundred as
good miners as ever handled a pick
working there" said Mr.. Burns.
'They are, most of them, men with
families and they are neither law
breakers nor agitators. would not
refuse man work because he did not
belong to the union, nor because he
did. 1 wanted the best miners and
kept wedding out the poorer ones with
out reference to unions. 1 am firm
believer in what they call the open
shop If other mine owners had
adopted my plan there would not be
an idle man in the camp today, and
there would not be a disturbance
worthy of the name"

Largest Mine In Operation Since The
Fetal Explosion.
is CLOSED BY GENERAL BELL.
Charges That Lawless Men Have Aided
and Encouraged Mon who Have Been
Guilty of Grimes and Outragss Mem
acing Many Good People.

Victor, Col, June 1.-THE Portland
is the only large mine in the district
that has continued in operation since
the explosion at Independence which
killed or MANNED more than twenty
non-union miners. The Portland Gold
Mining company conceded the demands
of the unions when the strike was
inaugurated last August and has
steadily given employment to about
500 union men.
Gen. Bell also issued proclamation
of which over 5000 copies were posted:
Whereas, said reign of violence and
crime still exists in said county, so
that the peace of the community is
threatened, lives and property of the
citizens menaced and mob rule and
violence threatens to override the law,
and,
Whereas. The Portland mine, sit
uated in said county, is, and for a long
time has been, engaged ir employing
and harboring large numbers of dan
gerous, lawless men who have aided,
encouraged and given comfort and as
sistance to these who have been so
guilty of said crimes and outrages, so
that said mine has become, and now is,
a menace to the welfare and safety of
the good people of said county and a
hindrance to the restoration of peace
and good order:
Now, therefore, by virtue of the
power conferred upon me as COM
mander of the military forces in said
county, and as a military necessity, ii
is ordered that said mine be at once
closed and all persons found therein
or whereabouts who are dangerous to
the community be arrested and held
until further orders.

The PIPE line SCHEME.
Held Up By Members Of The Charter
Board.
COMPANY is sHoR! ON ASSETS.
A Foreign Company Seeking Entrance
to Kansas Must Eave go Per Gent
Charter.

Topeka, June o.-The Kansas Natu-
raj Gas and Oil Company, organized to
pipe gas from the Kansas gas field to
Kansas City and other big cities of the
West, has run against q snag in its
efforts to get a license to do business
in Kansas 1t took Delaware char
ter in May, with ST., 900, 900 capital.
E. Maclkey, of Pittsburg, Pa, one of
the incorporators, and his attorney, ].
K. Cubbison, of Kansas City, Kans.,
appeared before the state charter
board and asked that the company be
licensed to do business in Kansas.
Theylhad draft for 81, 500 to pay the
license fee. A casual glance at the
papers showed that the concern, with
its SIS, Ooo, 900 capital, only had SIC, 900
in assets.
The rule of the charter board is that
foreign concern seeking entrance to
Kansas must have 90 per cent of its
capital in assets. That Is the amount
a domestic corporation must have to
get charter.
Mr.. Cubbison said that this was a
holding corporation, and that it had
millions of dollars worth of property
ready to be transferred to it just as
soon as it got license to do business.
The property included leases on a good
portion of the Kansas gas fields. It
also included many gas wells and oil
wells and real estate.
The people of Southeastern Kansas
have been organizing to fight the
scheme to pipe gas out of the gas belt.
This delay will give the people in the
gas belt a chance to protest if they de-
sire to do so. 1t is probable that there
will be delegation on hand to oppose
the issuance of the license.
On the face of the application moth
ing is said about any pipe line in par
ticular. In fact, the Kansas Natural
Gas and Oil Company is merger of
several different concerns. The mer-
ger cannot be completed until each
state in which the different interests
have property gives the merger con-
Germ the right to do business. The
different parties interested will not
transfer their property to concern
not authorized to business legally.
The merger company is composed
mostly of Pittsburg, Pa, capitalists

he made it beautiful enough the boys
would not destroy it. With September
a lot of energetic boys came back to
school, and in few weeks the garden
was trampled down and ruined. The

Early in the spring there was a
change Of superintendents, and the
new man heard almost Immediately of
the spoiled garden. He went up to
the school and made friends with the
boys, and then he said. You boys
don't like flowers, do you"
They declared emphatically that
they did.
Then why did you ruin that flower
garden?" he asked.
