and Of Colorado in particular, was cen
sured as having suppressed or toned
down reports on the coal field strike,
so that the people of the country have
no just conception of facts as they

Mrs. Pearl Jolly, scarcely mare than
a girl, was introduced as "the her

fences she told of how Louis Takus,
a leader of the tent colony, had been
fired upon while carrying a flag of
truce; how, when she put on Red
Cross badge to go among the wound
ed and to shelter the children she
was fired upon and shot in the heel;
how, when the men left the camp and
took to the hills to draw the fire
away from the women and children,
the helpless ones left behind were the
objects of attack; how Louis Takus
was captured, killed by being hit on
the head with a gun, the barrel of

She told. how the women and child

one of these eleven children and two
women were taken out, burned to
death; how a boy while caressing his
little sister had the top of his head
shot off and his brains were scattered
over. his brothers and sisters; how
she heard the wife of an officer boast
ing over the telephone how they had
roasted twenty-eight of the dirty
brutes alive" how appeals to the
sheriff, to the officers of the militia,
and to all authorities had been in vain.
Mrs. M. H. Thomas, who has brought
her two children to Washington, mar

women and children. She told of be-
