MESSAGE IS SENT TO
GOVERNOR AMhONS
In Spite of the Presidents
Words of Caution the Leg
islature Adjourns After
Passing Bill Providing for
Bond Issue for Militia,

Denver, May 16.-An ultimatum
limiting that United States troops might
be withdrawn from the Colorado coal
strike zone unless the Colorado legis-
lature ended its "inaction' was served
on the state of Colorado by President
Wilson in a message late this after
noon. In spite Of it the legislature
adjourned sine die this evening with
out undertaking further legislation, but
not until a fierce debate had been pro-
voked in the senate, during which Gov
ernor Ammons was denounced by sew
eral progressive Democrats. The gov
ernor, after receiving the presidents
message and replying to it, refused TO
present either communication to the
assembly AS a result of this situa-
tion, 1t Is predicted by many tonight
that state militiamen Will be put back
into the coal strike districts within a
few weeks and that the federal troops
will be recalled.
The net result of the two weeks spe-
cial session of the legislature, called to
deal with conditions in the strike zone,
was the passage of an appropriation
measure and two bills designed to pre-
vent disorder in future strikes The
appropriation measure provides bond
issue OF $1,000,000 to supply funds to
meet past and future military debts
incurred by the state as the result of
the strike of coal miners. One bill
regulates the possession and sale OF
firearms and another provides the
closing OF all saloons in times of indus
trial or other disturbances In addi-
ton, the legislature adopted a reso-
luton providing for a committee COM
posed of three members from each
house to investigate the strike and re-
port to the next session.
The Presidents Message.
While the legislature was proceeding
with the program this afternoon Gov
ernor Ammons received a message
from President Wilson, severely criti-
cizing that body and serving notice
that the federal government expected
action. Its text follows:
II am disturbed to hear of the prob
ability of the adjournment of your
legislature, and feel bound to remind
you that my constitutional obligations
with regard to the maintenance of
order in Colorado are not to be indefi-
nitely continued by the inaction of the
state legislature. The federal forces
are there only until the state of Col
orado has time and opportunity to re-
sumo complete sovereignty and control
In the matter.
II cannot conceive that the state is
willing to forego her sovereignty or to
throw herself entirely upon the gov
ernment OF the United States, and I
am quite clear that she has no consti-
tutional right to do so when 1t is with
In the power of her legislature to take
effective action.
"(Signed) WOODROW WILSON,"

A Substantial Existence.

The pastor of a ~well-known Bos-
ton church was calling a short while
ago on a dear old lady, one of the
pillars" of the church to which they
both belonged. Looking upon her
sweet, motherly face, which bore few
tokens of her SO years of earthly
pilgrimage, he was moved to ask
her: my dear Mrs. Adams, what
has been the chief source of your
wonderful strength and ~sustenance
during all these years? What do you
consider has been the real basis of
your extraordinary vigor of mind
and body. and has been to you an
unfailing comfort through joys and
sorrows which must come to all of
Gods creatures? Tell me, that [
may pass the secret to others. and, IL
possible. profit by 1t myself"
The good pastor waited with I'M
usual eagerness for the old lady's re-
ply, which she gave, after a moments
reflection, while her kindly old eyes
we're dimmed with tears.
"victuals.' she answered, briefly"

And talked of modern Joys and woes;
He roasted crooks and all their

And took a poke at politics;
And Jared the shady business man,
Who does things ON the fire-sale

And after church he met old Hunks,
A merchant prince with heaps of

Who cried. while threatened with a

Say, parson. stick to holy writ!

Or Daniel in the lions den;
You'll have TO come down from your

Or men who now support the church
Will seek some other synagogue!"
