calling of the strike In southern Colo
rndo IN September, 1913. was accepted
by Jesse Il. Welborn, president of the
Colorado Fuel 4 Iron Company, on the
witness stand before the United States
Commission on Industrial Relations In
the state Senate chamber.
These statements were educed from
Welborn after he had testified than
John d. Rockefeller and the directors
of the company did not direct the com.
pnrys affairs during the strike trOu-
bles. but left the management OF the
company to the executive committee.
Chairman Frank p. Walsh of the
commission then requested that all
communications between Welborn or
other officers of the company and
Rockefeller or Rockefeller's personal
representatives and agents, received
either by mail or by telegraph since
April 80, 1914. be submitted to the
commission.
Protest was made by Welborn that
much of the subject matter In the com
munications is of private nature and
not In any way connected with the In.
vestigation, and he was assured that
only such matter as bears directly or
indirectly on the strike question will
be read into the records.
According to Wclborn. the cost Of
the strike to the Colorado Fuel 4 Iron
Company, In decreased business. loss

YOUR WORK SHOULD SAVE BELGIUM FROM
 FAMINE, SAYS KING
King Albert of Belgium Expresses Qualification to American Relief Commission for Work Accomplished

London, December 12.-(S:40 D. m. Your work should save Belgium from famine
 In these words King Albert of Bel gium replied to a message of good wishes sent to him by the American n commission for relief in Belgium. His
 majesty" the Kings reply continues, "earnestly congratulates your commits sion in its generous and enlightened
 initiative He desires that you should
 know he is grateful"
 That the famine in Belgium is no respecter of persons was shown by a letter today to the American commits .
 sion from Henry w. Diederich, United States consul general of Antwerp, who appeals for food for his family, for his consular staff and for himself. MT Diederich writes:
 "We have been suddenly made to realize that Antwerp is not victualized as common report has it, as few days ago all the bakers in the city de- clared they no longer were able tu supply bread for lack of flour, For the time being they again have started their work but the outlook for gloomy. In view of this condition would request the American relief com
 mittee to let me have at the earliest opportunity some flour for myself and
 the families of the consular staff"

JEWISH FEAST OF
 CHANUKKAH BEGINS
Temple Emanu-El Sunday School Will Have Special Observance of
 Feast Next Sunday

The Jewish feast of Chanukkah, or the feast of dedication, began Saturday night and will continue for eight days.
 It corresponds in a measure to the Christian Christmas and the Sunday school of Temple Emanu-El will have a special celebration of the festival next Sunday. the last day of Chanuk- kah. The following explanation of the feast is issued by the conference of American rabbis:
 "One of the most interesting half holidays in the Jewish calendar begins this year on Saturday evening. Decem- Der 12. and lasts for eight days. It is known as Chanukkah, the feast of dedication, and though not observed by special services in the synagogue, it is eagerly looked forward to by the children of the Jewish household, for it has in large measure come to be a children's festival.
 '"The historical back ground of the celebration is found in the fact that in the year 165 B. c. Judas Maccabeus, one of the few martial heroes in Jew ish history, rededicated to the service of the one God. the temple at .Ierus- alem after it's pollution by Antiochus Epiphanes, who had set up in place of Gods altar a shrine to his heather god. Just three years after this pol lution, on the 25th day of the month of Kislev the temple was reclaimed and rededicated to the service of God
 Around the festival cluster many beautiful legends. which have helped to shape the character of the celebra- tion. One such legend is to the effect that when the temple was rededieated only a single cruse of oil was found unpolluted, but through the miraculous intervention of God this oil proved to be sufficient for burning for eight suc- cessive nights. and until other oil fit for the service might be prepared For this reason, to this day. Jews light candles in their homes in celebration of Chanukkah for eight successive nights. one on the first night, two on the second, and so on.
 There is a theory that even before

 In this manner General Carranza made answer in statement to the Associated Press to the formal notice served by the United States on both provisional Presi- dent Gutierrez and General Carranza that unless such firing ceased, force would be employed to protect American terri tory. 4s
 Carranzas reply to the American note, which is expected to reach Washington tomorrow, will repudiate responsibility for any shots that have crossed the line and clearly set forth that he and his government will regard intervention at Naco as a hostile act

MRS. BRECKENRIDGE ON EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Kentucky Leader Delivers Lecture at Cable Hall Be-
 fore Large Audience
By CHARLES H. MANDY

The cause of woman's suffrage in Alabama was ably advanced last night by Mrs. Desha Breckinridge of Lex ington. Ky, who lectured last night at Cable hall under the auspices of the Alabama Equal Suffrage associa- tion. A large audience was in attend ance, including several men who gave close attention to the arguments pro- pounded by the distinguished exponent of the feminist movement Mrs. Solon Jacobs presided and in introducing the speaker paid high compliment to her devotion to, the equal suffrage cause and knowledge of the subject.
 Mrs Breckinridge showed familiar ity with the reforms advocated by the Alabama suffragists and incidentally paid her respects to the fee system that is so vital a question in this county at this time. Child labor, age of pro3 lection, working hours and wages of women and children were among the matters discussed. She also spoke on the European war and boldly stated that upon the women of the countries now at war the greatest burden fell. While the men were al the front, she declared, the women were in the fields or tending the SICK or caring Tor the children and performing other duties equally arduous and self sacrificing as the men. Mrs. Breckinrdge proved n very pleasing speaker, handling her subjects firmly but with a rare delicacy and al all times kept her audience in- tensely interested.
 She told of the many reforms that had been brought about in her native state and the manner in which they were accomplished. In the matter of child labor Mrs. Breckinridge presented many statistics but always in an enter tainirg manner and interspersed her remarks with many anecdotes and in- cidents that had come under her per sonal observation.
 She closed her splendid address by a beautiful and tender tribute to the mothers of the nation and was given a generous round of applause.
 Mrs. Hundley and members of the local suffrage association at the close of the address preserted the petition that will be submitted to the next meeting of the legislature asking that an amendment to the constitution Of Alabama in reference to woman's suf- frage be referred to the voters of the state for rejection or approval which was freely signed.

 Among the Jews, Chanukkah is a time for rejoicing not only on the part of the children, but as well on the

Hill On Defensive

General Hill constitutionalist eomman- der of the forces at Naco, is on the de- fensive," continued General Carranza, and since his back was to the line it is difficult to see how he could be responsi- be for the firing. The fact is that May torenas s men have been attacking and therefore 1t appears reasonably clear that they. and only they, could have been to blame.
 "Ns a matter of fact. I do not know that the rights of American citizens have been violated. It seems to me that 1t V ould be well for the state department to investigate this question in order to fix the responsibility.
