RENDER WEAPONS.
ORDER APPLIES TO GUARDS
AS WELL As STRIKERS
Proclamation Of Federal Military De.
partment Most Sweeping = Addi-
tioaaI Regiment and Two Troops Of
Cavalry Ordered to Trouble District
For Duty.

Washington, May 2.-Under author
ity of the president, Secretary of War
Garrison today issued a proclamation
calling on the people in the strike dis
trict of Colorado to surrender all arms
and ammunition to the United States
army officers now in charge at the va
rious troubled localities.
Secretary Garrison's proclamation.
addressed to Major Holbrook at Trim
idad, is in the most sweeping terms and
demands the disarming of not only
strikers but the mine guards. The text
of the proclamation is:
Whereas, under existing cir
cumstances the possession OF arms
and ammunition by persons not IN
the military service of the United
States tends to provoke disorder
and TO excite dometic violence and
hlnders the restoration OF normal
conditions Of peace and good order,
l do, by the authority OF the presl-
den. OF the United states. call on
and direct all persons not In
the military service Of the United
States VINO have arms or ammunl-
ton in their possession or under
their control to deliver them forth
with to the officer at the place
herein designated. Receipts Will be
issued for all arms and ammunition
SO delivered. The above applies to
individuals firms, associations, and
corporations"
Garrison Explains Proclamation.
In explanation Of the proclamation
ing statement:
II learned from the commander in
Colorado that the use of firearms had
been widespread. In the district from
Walsenberg south, an area of about
400 square miles, there are about sixty
mines. They are located, mainly In
canyons and are very difficult to reach
The strikers and those sympathizing
with them have recently organized and
armed themselves and the operators
hs.se had hundreds Of mine guards who
are also armed.
State Troops Asgravate Trouble.
THE state troops in certain localities
have served to aggravate the troubles.
Stores We're broken into by some troops
Of the state organization and some
articles taken. Conditions in Canon
City are similar to those in Walsen-
burg There was a serious conflict In
Ludlow. where women and children as
we'll as men We're killed. and since that
time the feeling has been excessively
bitter.
The commanders in the field have
so far exercised wise Judgment. have
allayed alarm, and with the limited
numbers now at their disposal are de-
manding the best that Is possible.
1T is hoped the proclamation calling
for all parties to give up arms will be
cheerfully and promptly complied with
and a great source OF danger thus re-
moved"

Strikers to Obey If
John B. Lawson said:
THE United Mine Workers of Amer
lea are willing and anxious to CO.
operate in every possible way in re-
storing order. If the proclamation OF
Secretary Garrison really means thai
the guards will be disarmed and the
militia kept out of the district, our
men will turn over their guns without
hesitation. If it should turn out that
the order does not apply to the mine
guards and the militia. I can not say
at this time what will be the attitude
Of the strikers I am waiting to learn

methods to be adopted by the federal
troops in the strike district In carrying

women narchers with bands to lead
the way and division of women cav
airy bringing up the rear was planned
for the Chicago suffrage parade today,
rain or shine. The organizers were
determined that the part of this city
in the nation wide demonstration for
woman suffrage should be worthy OF
the cause and adequate expression of
enthusiasm Of women in the largest
city in which they have the franchise.
Plans of the suffragists beyond pos
sibi!ity OF being upset by rivalry or
any other cause were:
First, the parade Will be started at
5 .. m to give workers a chance to
assemble at the starting place.
Second. the line Of march is only two
miles along a smooth. lake-breezc
swept, boulevard.
Third, the only regalia required or
desired is a suffrage cap. white with
gold stars and illinois in gold let
ters, and flag. Arrangements were
made to supply the caps for 10 cents
and the flag for cents each.
Assembled by Wards.
The marchers will assemble by wards
and not BY clubs. social. political.
church or other organizations. 1t was
made plain that this was to avoid
questions of precedence and all vari-
eties OF rivalry. The parade
is to be absolutely democratic.
One woman is to be as good as another
in the parade and will march with the
other women of her ward whether
they belong to the same club or not.
The parade is to be headed by a
squad OF mounted police and a detail OF
cavalry followed by Grand Marshal.
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout. presi-
dent OF the Illinois Equal Suffrage
Association. Then come the aids.
Such Of them as represent political
or other organizations will carry ban
ners OF their clubs. This array OF tri-
umphal banners Is to be the only DEM
onstration of the kind in the long line.
Women riders Will bring up the rear.
Every woman who can ride and who
can get horse has been urged to come
mounted. and a cavalry brigade OF
more than 100 is expected to be refining
in its steeds and impatiently waiting
for the signal to wheel into line before
o'clock.
Mon Invited.
As in the other suffrage parades men
were urged to join the marchers. and
many responded No headgears were
provided for men marchers but they
will carry hags.
Much difficulty was found in making
ARRANGEMENTS for the use Of the boule-
ward and park. The commissioners
finally, after declining to allow Grant
Park on the lake front in the downtown
district to be used for grand rally.
permitted stands to be erected in the
park and ordered the boulevard cleared
for the parade. Governor Dunno prom

Considerable interest centers around
the probabie actien Of the board m the
reapplication Of twenty or more saloon
lists for permits, this condition being
brought about because the board left

during the year.

URGE STOCKEXCHANGES
REMAIN Longer CLOSED
Conference Between Sir George Paish
and Reserve Board Takes Step to
Protect U. S. Securities.

The international conferences between
Sir George PAIsh, representative OF the
British treasury. and the United States
Federal Reserve Board resulted ysster-
day in the conclusion that no extraor-
binary arrangemsnt Is necessary 70. In
sure the adjustment Of American obliga-
tons to Great Britain. except 10 provide
that the stock exchanges OF the two
countries remain closed for a consider
able period
The conferring parties are convinced
that the exchanges must remain closed
in order to prevent the dumping Of Amer
lean securities held In England and
France In a volume that might result In
piling up debts against the United States
which present trade tendencies could not
safely be relied upon TO meet
Sir George last night cabled the report
of these concluding conferences TO the
British government. and inquired 1f that
government would undertake to keep the
London stock exchange closed.
Briefly stated. the eonclusiob Of the
board, in the light Of information from
Sir George as to the probable needs OF
Great Britain for cotton and supplies OBJ
tainabie IN this country, Is that the stu
alton can be trusted to take care OF
itself
Should the British government reply
favorable to the proposal for keeping
the London stock exchange closed.
officials will view the Paish mission 70
this country as accomplished in 20 far as
the international exchange problem is
concerned. 1t is possible. however. that
he may remain longer TO counsel with
the Treasury officials on the cotton prob
lem.
