His memories Of the house were
gloomy and unattractive, for from 1t
both his father and his mother had
been taken to their final resting places,
and in 1t he had spent few Joyous
hours. All the happiness of his youth
in Jonesville were associated with the
homes Of others, public places, out-of-

COMMITTEE GETS
 REAL LIVE PE0N
Man Supposed to Have Been Held in Bondage Appears and Testi-
 fies to Facts

DENVER, Colo, Feb. n.-James Adams, who has been widely herald ed as a peon held by the coal oper- ators against his will and forced to work in the mines, appeared today before the special subcommittee OF congress ordered to investigate the conditions in the strike zone.
 Adams testified that he was induced to come to Colorado by agents of the operators under the belief that he could purchase land and go to ranch ing, but the land was mythical and the agents took him to the mine, where he was made q prisoner and held; compelled to work long hours as q strike breaker, he was beaten and kicked when ever he Jagged by the hired aunmen of the coal barons he says.
 Adams also stated that many more of the strike breakers had been i'm ported from the east and were kept al the mines against their will and by the fear of death. The gunmen were brutal, beating all opposition out of l the men and were aided by the troops he testified.
 Attorneys for the coal operators will cross-examine the witness this afternoon and will endeavor to break down his testimony
 !! Indictments are expected if the ; story told by James Adams is veri- fled by the investigations of the con greSSmen.
