SAYS SIGNATURE
 IN WILL LAWSUIT
 MAY BE FORGED

Hints of forgery were heard in the superior court this morning when Hobart H. Curtis of Newtovgn, a wit ness in the suit of Stephen B. Hayes, administrator. against Ellen c. Car roll, declared the writing on bank voucher was not his. The signature was Hobart L. Curtiss' instead of Hobart H. Curtfs.'' Several other vouchers introduced exhibits had the correct signature. Curtis signed his name notary public when the late Patrick LilIis of Newtown wished to give an order to have funds with drawn from the bank.
 Curtis was a witness for Mrs. Car roll against whom the suit was brought by the administrator on the LiIlis estate. It is alleged by the plain tiff that Mrs. Carroll obtained 5000 from Lil1is by undue influence but she claims the money was a, present from the old man for many years of ser vice. Curtis said he remembered Li1Ifs saying he wants to give Mrs. Carroll a present. Administrator Hayes wants the $6.0oO returned to the estate
 The trial was still on at press hour.

Within a few years there has been an agitation for a more equal system of taxation, and one which would bear less heavily on homes.
 This agitation resulted in increases in the listing of manufacturing prop erty from about $15,00o,000 to $30,- 000, 1000 and at this point. the agita- ton spent its strength and ceased to be effective.
 The suspension of agitation grew out of a number of considerations the the time being such property. ought to have time to adjust itself to the new conditions.
 Manufac cturers throughout the city are beginning to feel, however, that to place further burdens upon homes, will bring about a second agitation. and a further increase in the listing of their mills, machinery, and other assessable property.
 One well known manufactures, who because of his relations with certain public services. whose lobbyists are actively in favor of bonds, is adverse to being known as opposing the debt program, said today:
 ssIt is not the debt which is to be voted upon Saturday that am afraid Of It is the debt, that has been of fered at every opportunity during the past two years, and the debt that, will probably be offered if these present proposals succeed. a
 s4The total amount of debt proposed amounts to at least S9.OO0.000, and part of the expenditure would have been for things which would require still further expenditures.

Rescue Party's Desperate Attempt to Reach Work
 CTS Stopped By Debris
8 BODIES RECOVERED
 AND CT SAVED ALIVE
Further Efforts to Bring Dead to Surface Blocked
 By Raging Flames

EecIes, w. Va, April 29 Eiqlat bodies have been recov- cred from Shaft No. 6 of the New River COIlieries company, which, with Shaft No. 5, was wrecked by an explosion yes- terday. Sixty-seven men were taken out alive. There are no more men i'm No. 6. One hum dred and seventy eight are bur : fed in No. 5 and officers of the company expressed uae opinion today that none would escape.
 A rescue party which was dropped down Shaft No. 5, got within fS9 feet from the bot fom., Tho cage. sNas stopped by broken and twisted tiInbers and a heavy fall of earth
 No mas was detected on this level and mining experts eN- pressed the belief that the mine was not on fire.
 Governor 6SLueto, oI west V1fS lA4e7 ss in charge of the relief work while Earl Henry, chief of the state de- Oartment of mines and H. C. Bayles, general manager of the collIeries conn pany, are leading the rescue crews.
 The entrances to the mines are far auarf but the workings join under ground After the dust explosion in Mine No $, fumes entered No. shaft and there the eight men whose bodies were recovered, were killed. Prompt measures taken by Superintendent Thomas Donaldson resulted in the res cue of S7 from No shaft Many of those rescued are burned severely and fmprovised hospitals here and at Beck 1y are crowded
 The task of finding bodies in No. shaft must wait until the flames have been extfnguished. It is not believed one man in No. escaped alive as khe sudden explosion was followed quickly by outbursts of flames
 Most of the miners are American born, although there are quite num- ber of foreign born workers.
 Many of those rescued said they were overcome by the gas fumes before they knew what had happened. The first man to leave the mine shafts climb ed to the surface of No. 6 hand over hand on a rope
 Two carloads of collins ordered last night from Cincinnati are expected here during the day. Chief Henry made a trip into No workings this morninx and found much debris If forts will be made to effect an eil- trance to No 5 shaft

PROTEST AGAINST LEARY
lspecial to The Farrnerl

South Norwalk, "A pril ? 9s@ Fffty- eight Denfocfats met here last Iii g 1t and hurled themselves, metaphorfcal- ly speaking, into the bosons of As sistant Postmaster General Daniel Loper and SenatorsN George Mclean and Frank w. Brandegee in pas sionate protest of anger against the appointment of Andrew Leary as post master. MT. Leary's name having been sent in by Congressman Donovan
 That is to say, 32 of the 5S hurled themselves, for 18 of those present voted against the resolution, and some preserved a discreet neutrality.
 The meeting WAS not large, but it was lively and marked by a passage at arms. between Congressman Dono- van and Town Court Judge Keogh. Judge Keogh's objection to MT. Leary was that he had been a s'greenbaclxer, socialist. populist. and anything but a Democrat z
 Congressman Donovan amicably re- piled that Leary was fitted in every way to hold the job, that his moral qualifications were of the best, some body had to be chosen, and that Leary had seemed to him, in the whole, the best selection.
 Judge Keogh retorted with the statement that Sheriff Vollmer con suits the Democratic committees in making appointments, and thought that Congressman Donovan should follow the sheriff example.
 When you made your appoint ments, judge returned the congress man, calmly, you used your best judgment in the interest of the town: When L make appointments which it is my duty to make, shall not part with my right and duty of free choice, which the people have confided to me, and expect me to user.
 Here the discussion closed and a resolution was passed denouncing MT. Iseary and advocating any other per- son for the job who had been a can didate. There were four other candi- dates, and some dark horses.

Denver, April 29-Violence in the strike zones of Colorado came to an end shortly after. midnight when a downpour of rain drove to cover strik- ing miners who were attacking the Walsen mine near Walsen burg, the only point in Colorado where actual violence obtained and today dawned with the prospect of indefinite peace between the warning industrial fac- tions.
 Federal troops from Fort D. A. Rus sell, Wyoming. arrived in Colorado early today and troops from Fort Leavenwortf, Kas.. were expected to reach the state later. The situation in the northern district became. quiet yesterday when the strikers ran out of ammunition and their supply cou1d uofs be rspTef1Ished ana Hpon the arE rival of the state troops there.
 Tn official circles here and among the union leaders there was expression of confidence in the federal troops to control the situation. Governor Ann mons, however, reiterated his determ- iration not to withdraw any of the state troops from localities which will not be amply protected by the federal soldiers.
 GUNMEN ORDERED HOME
 President Wilson's proclamation yes terday by virtue of which the federal troops were ordered into Colorado,
 
 CTS until tomorrow to return to their various mines Or homes.
 Tn Trinidad the situation today was quiet. In the northern section of the state, the strikers do not know wheth- CT to expect the federal troops and check by the state troops for an in- definite period gave rise today to much anxiety lest another outbreak occur there at any time: Governor Ammons expressed relief upon the arrival of the federal troops.
 Party leaders conferred here today relative to the organization of the special session of the legislature which convenes May to act upon the strike situation, ifs control and rem edy.
 Governor Anmons announced his plan Of action to be followed upon the arrival of the federal troops today.
 RECALLS sTATE TROOPS
 q will recall all state troops from the localities which are occupied by federal soldiers he said, s.but the state troops will remain in those dis tricts which would be otherwise un- protected. It does not seem that there will be enough of the federal troops to station them at every point where law1essness and rioting have been acute. They would have to be in Ludlow, Aguilar,s Trinidad, Wa1sen- burg, Canon City, Louisville, Lafay- cite and at other mine camps near these towns.
 .I do mot believe the President's s telegram to me concerning the with drawa1 of state troops means that the President expects us to leave any DOT tion unprotected and I so advised him by telegraph.
 General Chase and I have arranged for the recall of state. troops now at Canon City and at Ludlow just as soon as the federal trdbps arrive but the troopers at the other points will re- main in the field until they are ac- tua1Iy supplanted by the regulars.''
