and flooding with water is concern
ed, although the lot on which it is
to be established is furnished by E.

skating on a pond a mile from

that some accident might occur
there. and have been anxious to see
the new pond established in town,
where the water will not be deep
and the chances of accidents occur
ring fewer.

Senator's
ANNOUNCE
PLATFORM
sHAFROTH AND THOMAS WILL
ABIDE By THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY IN TARIFF LEGISLA-
TION PROGRAM

Governor John F. Shafroth and
Charles s. Thomas as United States
senators from Colorado will support
the democratic party's platform
tenet for a downward revision Of
the tariff. They will support the
tariff plans of Woodrow Wilson.
Neither one will discuss his in
tentions regarding specific sched-
ules, such as those ON beet sugar
and lead, a lowering of which many
believe would cripple two of Colo
RADIOS leading industries.
Mr.. Thomas stands upon state
ment made by him in the New York
Times OF December 9. 1t is:
Il am in entire sympathy with
the national democratic platform
upon all propositions and particu-
larly as concerns the tariff, and pro-
pose to treat those interests of my
state which are affected by the tar
iff in all respects as those which are
located and have been developed
elsewhere.
The statement was made in de-
NAL of an article which had declar-
ed that he and Governor Shafroth
would align themselves in the SEN
ate with republicans upon tariff
questions involving Colorado inter-
ests. When questioned last night
In regard to the subject Mr.. Thomas
said that he thought his statement
and the democratic platform suf-
ficient and he did not care to amp
lify upon the statement.
Governor Shafroth said yesterday
that he cannot tell and does not
know what he will do regarding
specific schedules until he gets to
Washington and hears the evidence
ON them.
II will support the democratic
xlatfurn and will try to aid Presi-
N9isst Wilson IN his tArifH po31cy al

But I cannot tell what l will do
regarding any certain schedules

WOMEN LEAD GERMAN RIOTtRS
MINERS WIVES BATTLE WITH
POLICE AND SOLDIERS.
Situation so Dangerous That Artillery
and cavalry May be
Necessary.

Berlin, Germany.-A reign OF terror
prevails throughout the westphalian
coal fields, and the troops and
mounted police on the scene we're
strongly reinforced The disorder
spread to districts hitherto unaffect-
ed and fighting is reported from Duis-
burg Essen, Hamboron, Oberhausen
and Recklinghausen
One of the worst riots was at the
German empire colliery. A striking
feature of the violence is the part
which women are playing in it. Some
of the mobs are actually led by
women in battle with police and sol
diers. These Amazons show reckless
daring in rushing upon the soldiers.
In some instances their frenzy
amounts to fanaticism.
There were large additions to the
ranks of the strikers and it was esti-
mated that nearly 100000 men are
now idle all over Germany A long
drawn out struggle is expected as the
coal mine owners have informed the
union that they will close down their
mines before they will accede to the
mems demands. They also have in
formed the government Of their deci-
sion. The operators seem to have
the advantage, as they are acting in
concert, while discord prevails be-
tween the Socialist and non-Socialist
branches of the union
So dangerous is the strike situation
becoming in some parts of Westpha-
liza that artillery and cavalry may be
sent

MADE DESPERATE FIGHT.
Wife Of One Shot While Helping Her

Reorganized.

Hillsville, Va.ERushing in force up
on the cabin housing Floyd Allen,
the desperate whose conviction here
resulted in a band of his outlaw
followers killing Judge Massie, the
county prosecutor, and the Carroll
county sheriff, 20 detectives arrested
Allen, his son, Victor, and hustled
them to the county jail-both wound
ed severely Sidna Aliens wife is
dead, shot in fight with a posse in
the mountains while helping defend
the band, James Strickland was heav-
lily armed and declared that if he had
not been taken by surprise he would
have fought to the death to prevent
the capture of Allen. Allen, soon af-
ter being put in Jail, slashed his
throat with razor in an endeavot to
commit suicide.
All the other members of the gang,
probably IS, are up in the mountains
off toward the North Carolina line,
well armed, well supplied and deter
mined not to be taken.
The storming of Sidna Aliens house
late in the day was the next thing to
a bombardment.
From behind stumps, rocks, trees
and other natural fortresses of the
mountainside, the posse fred at the
house and Allen fired at the posse as
fast as the women of his family could
reload his rifles. In a lull the posse
rushed the house and broke down the
doors
Excitement is intense in and about
Hillsville, as Gov. Mann has offered
reward Of $1,000 for every man en-
gagged in the shooting, the men to be
brought in dead or alive. Other de-
teetives are certain to follow the
rounding up of the gang.
Judge Staples, designated by Gov.
Mann to come here to hold court, took
the bench and summoned a special
grand jury to indict the ihurderers.

the restoration of quiet than any
other Reorganization of the court

KILLED WARDEN AND ESCAPED
Three Desperate Men In Nebraska
Prison Make Bold Dash for
Liberty.

Lincoln, Neb.-Three men dead and
fourth dangerously wounded is the
toll of murder plot, cunningly de
vised and daringly executed at the
Nebraska penitentiary, four miles
south of the city.
After running with pistols through
the prison, shooting down all who dis
puted their path, and shattering with
nitroglycerin the steel doors which
stood between them and freedom, the
murderers, three long time convicts,
fed on foot through the deep snow
drifts, and are pursued by q dozen
posses.
The men murdered are: James
Delahunty, warden Henry Wagner,
deputy warden; G. Heilman, usher.
Thomas Doody, prison guard, was
wounded.
The killing of the three prison au-
thorities was done by Charles Taylor
and John Dowd, bank robbers, and
Charles Morley, convicted of highway
robbery, Firearms, a supply of am
munition and the explosive, mysteri-
ously Struggled into the prison, were
in possession of the trio.
Taylor, apparently the ring leader
in the desperate flight, is an expert
craftsman of bank safes and known
by police all over the West.

state Legislative Assembly was char
terized by simplicity Both houses
gathered in the hall of representatives
and Secretary of State Antonio Lu-
cero administered the oath to the
seventy-three members. The two
houses then separated and organized
immediately.
The House elected Ramon L. Baca
of Santa Fe, who had been the speak
er of the House in 1907 speaker, and
Frank Staplin of Pennington, who
was chief clerk also in 1909, chief
clerk. The other employees of the
House were chosen at Republican
caucus that did not get down to bust
ness until late.
Speaker R. L. Baca was presented
with a handsome gavel and in his adj
dress of thanks outlined a legislative
programme.
The Democrats and Progressives
nominated Marcos G. De Baca for
speaker and Rafael Romero for clerk,
but could only muster fifteen against
81 votes on the former and thirteen
votes against thirty-one on the latter.
