GENERAL BELLS REPORT
Says the Military Recognizes no
Law. Civil or Social.

Denver, Feb. 2.-''Military neces-
sity recognizes no law, either civil or
social, says Adjutant General Sher-
man Bell, of this state in his biennial
report made today. Reporting as to
the use of troops in the mining camps
during the last two years of Governor
Peabody's administration, the adju-
tant general uses the following lang
uage:
"As military commander, the au-
thority and dignity Of the state of
Colorado were at all times upheld
and asserted, in seeking to ameliorate
condition of dynamite, murder and
assassination, under the guise OF
labor, that was intolerable.
"Autocratic in name and specula-
tive in its Incorporated trusts; not
The unionism recognized to associate
ith working improvement in the
condition of the honest working peo-
pie OF the state, their wives and fami-
lies betterment, but fireeating social
lists and anarchists, famed by an un-
American press the whole outfit will
some day cause lawmakers to both
suppress and Danish beyond the state
line, such action becoming citizen
necessity by the lawmakers, and ne
cesSity for the protection and welfare
for the individual who labors for
wages: whom individually and collec-
lively have the highest and regard
for, as well as for their happiness and
pr osperity."
