HUERTA ORDERS
RYAN'S RELEASE
Physician, Arrested as Spy,
Insured Safe Passage
From Mexico.
WAS TO BE EXECUTED
DIR. Ryan, Who Has Been Engaged in
Relief Work in Mexico, Was
Condemned at Zacatecas to
Be Shot Yesterday.

Washington, May DIR. Edward W.
Ryan, who was arrested at Zacatecas
and condemned to death, charged
with being a spy; was released today
and is now on his way to Mexico City
from whence he will go to Vera Cruz.
Huerta has agreed to insure Ryan's
safe passage out of Mexico.
The release of DR.. Ryan was
brought about through the efforts of
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz, who
wired Huerta upon receipt of the
news that Ryan was held in jail and
about to be shot. Huerta immediate
ly ordered Ryan's release.
DR.. Ryan is a physician and has
been active in relief work in Mexico
for some time. When the battle OF
Torreon was on he organized an au-
tomobile expedition, which went from
Mexico City and did general relief
work among wounded Federals and
Constitutionalists.
Officials here said any accusation
of spying or improper conduct against
the physician would be absurd; thai
his activities had been confined solely
to efforts to relieve suffering hui
mainly.

Mrs, Jolly testified that when the
troops opened fire on the colony
MANY of the women and children were
only half dressed. The children, she
declared, almost all were without
shoes and few had more than scant
attire.
There was no time for them to
dress as the firing commenced

"There seemed to be two machine
gune in action and the bullets came
in all around u.s." she said. The
women ran for cover in every direc-
ton. some crying for their children
others leading them.
| Most of them ran toward an
arroyo back of the camp, but some OF
them ran in the direction OF the
water tank at the Colorado. & South
ern tracks and toward dug-out
located in that direction.
"They seemed to be shooting ex-
plosive bullets. We could hear shap
report every time that one OF them
would strike, and where they struck
within our vision, We could see the
dirt fly in all directions.

Denver, Col, May Interest in
Colorado coal mine tragedies was
divided today between two dramatic
centers-the inquest at Trinidad over
the bodies of the women and chlld-
rem burned to death in the Ludlow
tent colony and the headquarters OF
the United States troops in charge OF
the coal fields.
Witness after witness told the
coroner's jury that the state militia
deliberately fired on the tents where
it was known the women and children
had taken refuge from the bullets OF
the machine guns. Mrs. Pearl Jolly,
leader of the women in the Ludlow
colony, dramatically described the at
tack upon the colony and it's terrible
results. On the witness stand she
was calm, showing no excitement.
Asks More Troops.
Major Holbrock, in command OF the
federal troops, declared today that
the situation is far more serious than
had been anticipated. He has sent
telegram to President Wilson asking
that more cavalry be sent at once.
Major Holbrook did not formally
demand that the strikers surrender
their arms today. William Diamond
head of the Trinidad union of the
Mine Workers, however, informed the
major that the arms would not be
surrendered.
"The strikers will hide their arms
and ammunition to defend themselves
| in case the federal troops are taken
from the district before the strike is
settled diamond told the army Of
ficer. 1t is expected the demand for
| the surrender of arms will be made
tomorrow.
