PEONAGE IN So COUNTIES
Victims Tell of Shocking Conditions
on Texas Plantations.

Austin, Texas.-The federal grand jury
returned indictments on thirty-slx more
counts for conspiracy to hold in peon-
age and for holding in peonage against
persons in Burleson county, Texas.
It is learned that the deeper the grand
jury delves into the practice of peonage
upon the Hoppe farm, the more horrible
are the developments brought to light.
The victims of the practice are gathered
here from many parts of the United
States. A number of them are young
white men, but the majority are negroes.
Some of the whites are mere boys who
were out to see the world and fell into
the clutches of the agents of the Hoppe
plantation. According to the stories OF
some of these witnesses, they were pulled
off trains at Somerville, and under the
~pretense that they were guilty of some
crime were sent to the plantation, where
they were held in bondage as long as
their strength for work lasted.
That peonage in it's worst form is prac-
ticed in at least twenty-five counties in
Texas is the charge made by the federal
officers who have been working on the
investigation for many months. More
thar 100 state and county officers, from
constables to county attorneys, are in
volved in the conspiracy, which, it is
charged, hes been paying the promoters
from $40 to 500 each per month. Men
arrested and convicted on trifling charges
are fined heavily and then rented out to
farmers, who pay SIS per month to the
officers, who divide the funds.

$50 Miners ENTOMBED
EXPLOSION IN PRINERo MINE
PROVES TO BE COSTLY.
Explosion Heard Ton Miles Away,
and Was Thought Earthquake
Had Occurred.

Trinidad, Colo.-A terrific explosion
occurred at the Primero coal mine short
" after 4 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Three miners were killed outright and
$50 others are believed to be dead in the
mine. These $50 men were entombed
by the explosion while at work, and
there seems hardly a chance that any
of them escaped.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company,
which owns and operates the property,
refuses to give out any information re
garding the explosion, claiming that both
it's telephone and telegraph wires to
Primero are down. 1t is claimed the
company purposely removed the tele'
phone apparatus at Primero so that nc
news of the accident might leak out
without being censored.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
ordered a special train made up and
rushed to the coal camp. Doctors and
nurses left On this train with a large
supply of medical supplies.
The three men who were killed were
near the mouth of the mine when the
explosion took place.
The explosion was heard ten miles and
many thought al earthquake had oc
Cured. Primero is located tewnty-foul
miles northwest of Trinidad.
Three years ago a disastrous explosion
took place in the property, in which
twenty-one miners were killed and many
injured.

MRS. FORD BLACKM
Defaulting Big -Four Treasurer Paid
Her $1,000 a Month.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-Eighty-four thou
sane dollars was the price Charles L..
Warmer, defaulting local treasurer of
the Big -Four railroad, paid for a wom-
ans silence. Fearing exposure OF his
shortcomings, he gave Mrs. Jeanette
Stewart Ford an average of $1,000 a
month for seven years, the payments
stopping only when the exposure came
from other sources November 2, last.
Such was the substance of the start
ling testimony which Warmer gave at
the trial of Mrs. Ford on a charge OF
Matchmaking him.
Warmer recited the details of his re-
lations with the woman without betray-
ing the slightest emotion. He took the
stand wearing an overcoat that concealed
the uniform which he wore as an inmate
of the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus.
