declines to lay emphasis only on The

By POLICE
Testimony in Investigation of
Lawrence Strike Alleges
Cruelty
MRS. TAFT HEARS STORIES
Miss Tema Comitta Says Militia
men Were at All Times
Considerate.

'Fy Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
| Washington, d. c., March Mrs.
William Howard Taft, wife of the
| President, was an interested listener
! to the tales of alleged oppression and
cruelty in the Lawrence textile strike
| told to the House rules committee to-
| day when it resumed its consideration
of the industrial struggle in the mill
city.
Miss Tema Camitta, a Philadelphia
| vocal student and Sunday school teach
er and member of one of the COM
mittees that sought to get the child
ren out of Lawrence, admitted that
she saw no clubbing of women, or
/ children in the station nor, after the
affray, did she see any who had been
injured. Il did see the police clubbing
women in the patrol wagon" she
said. "The wagon was crowded and
the police We're thrusting the women
about with their clubs"
The witness refused to advance an
opinion on how many women were in
the wagon, but said she saw more than
one woman beaten. At no time, she
said, had she observed any outrages
committed by the militiamen. 1t was
while Miss Camitta was testifying that
Mrs. Taft arrived at the committee
room. She appeared to take great in
terest in the proceedings and remain
ed several hours.
Women Badly Injured.
Before Miss Camitta took the stand,
Representative Victor Berger, of Wis
!cCnsin, Socialist, had read into the rec
ord, a telegram from William d. Hay
wood, one of the strike leaders, that
two women witnesses sought by Mr..
Berger, could not come to Washing
ton because of injuries sustained at
rioting. One of the women, Haywood
said, was in the hospital in a critical
condition while the other was CON
fined to her home.
Miss Camitta related how she had
endeavored to lead the children from
the station to the train.
''Eor some reason the children got
out ahead of the men and instantly
the women and children were hurled
into struggling mass by the police.
il was squeezed against the wall of
the waiting room and was terribly
frightened.
"You'r Killing Them"
The crowd in front of me was so
dense that I could see little. | called
out to the police, "Be careful OF the
children. You're killing them" Later,
when | sought to accompany them to
the police station | was told that I'd

Miss Camitta told of detectives Wis
Iiting the homes of parents of Law
renee children and threatening them
if they sent their children away.
''In all cases where children were
to be taken to Philadelphia asked
Chairman Henry, did you have the
parents consent?'
In every case" she said.
Simon Knebel, who was in Law
renee on Saturday February "a, an
other member of the committee from
Philadelphia and an organizer of the
Industrial Workers of the World, was
the next witness. Telling of what
happened at the Lawrence depot,
knebel said:

DR. COOK STILL
 BULLS PUBLIC

As for real pleasure it is much nicer here in Lawrence than at the North pole" said Dr. Frederick A Cook to Journal-World reporter gho caiied at his room at the Fl drige recently. Dr. Cook explained further, however, that at this time of the year it was not so bad in the Arctic regions.
 Tt gets warm up there in the sum- mer time. the sun comes out and the snow melts, and vegetation springs up. Of course it is only for a couple of months and then winter sets in again when the ther- mometer drops down as low as 90 and 60 degrees below zero.
 But in the summer time they have double days and vegetation grows very fast and for a short time it is real pleasant at this sec ton of the world" Dr. Cook has been in the Arctic regions at all seasons of the year He has endured pri- vatiOns of that country when the season was at it's worst. On his last trip he was lost in the North land for a whole year.
 According to his story he was alone with two other men with nothing to eat only what they could find in that barren and desolatc country. They had no arms or am intuition. Occasionally they killed a bear or a seal with clubs which was extremely dangerous. Once in while they changed their diet to bird.
 Dr. Cook explained that they had little trouble cooking the meat af, ter they caught and killed the ami mals. For that was unnecessary as they ate the meat raw. Once In a while they cooked little meat but most of the time they were glad to get it raw. They wandered away from the base of supplies where they had left ten other men and they were unable to find their way back
 Dr. Cook is presenting his case before the American people asking their judgment as to whether he found the pole or not. He has taken the Chautauqua platform as a means of reaching the people and asserting his claims. He spoke re- gently at Woodlawn park on the regular program of the White Chau- tauqua company. =, Dr. Cook is a tall well-built, fine appearing man and one who bears every semblance of man who can withstand privation and who can fight for his rights. He apparently enjoys to tell of his explorations

MUCH SOCIALISM NOW.

 MUCH SOCIALISM NOW.
 We have much Socialism now. suppose the time will come when government will own all of the coal mines and similar mines. That will be Socialism. will it not?
 Why should not the government retain all the coal mines and other mines in Alaska. for instance. in stead of selling them to private in dividuals to be exploited? If the government retains them instead of selling them it can lease them out and control the output, and the price, by terms of the lease That would he Soclallstic and easy enough to do.
 We have already done It with the seal herds. The greed of ndividu- als was destroying the seal herds In a few years there would not have been seal left. The government took over the seal herds, and now leases them out. and permits the killing only of certain number eacn year The result is that the herds are rapidly growing. That is Social istic is it not?
 Perhaps Socialism Is growing more rapidly than some of you So cialists think. You are 90 busy talk. Ing angrily, some of you. that yon do not notice what advances tho world is making in Socialism.
 A WARMING FOR TALK. Some of you just want to talk. 1 I do not think some of you care a rap about Socialism. You want to scold a great deal more than yon want Socialism.

 BARKEEPER PAYS HIS FINE

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S. - Owen Gro. gan. saloon keeper, left new dollar bill in the courtroom of Municipal Judge Dicker to pay the fine of Daniel Webster. of Darling Wis. Webster had already paid the fine, but the one dollar. in the nature of a rebate, will be sent to him at his home In Darling. Webster appeared in Judge Dick er's court much the worse for wei. He had been imbibing too freely and taking room in a local hotel, got into the bathtub and turned on the water. The alcohol befuddlai his brain and he went to sleep. The Wa ter overflowed the tub and caused Daniels arrest.
 In court he blamed his trouble on the saloonkeeper. He also said the saloonkeeper was Grogan.
 "I don't know if he got drunk ill my place." Grogan told the court at tendants. But I'll take a chance seeing it is only a dollar. I want to add, however, that the next time Mr. Webster comes in, I'll throw him out He might get fined ten for a second offense."
