Guards give Up Arms

Walsenburg. Colo, May 2.-The first
move toward actual disarmament in
the southern Colorado strike zone was
made late today, when it was an
nounced that B. J. Matteson, assistant
general manager of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company, had agreed to de-
liver to the United States regulars all
the guns in possession of the guards
at Walsen and Rouse.
The announcement came at the end
of a conference between Mr.. Matte
son and Captain G. G. Smith. At the
close of the conference it was an
nounced that Lieutenant Cunningham,
with 20 men, would go to Rouse, one
of the largest mines in the county,
that Lieutenant Crowley, with 10
men would go to the Walsen mine.
AS soon as the regulars reached the
mines, Mr. Matteson assured the army
officers, all the guns in possession of
the guards would be turned over.
The agreement was made as a re-
suit Of negotiations which began soon
after the arrival of the federal troops
at Walsenburg. These negotiations
were independent Of the proclamation
of Secretary Garrison, by which all
parties are ordered to deliver up their
arms.
No denifite agreement has been
made with the strikers in Huerfano
county. AT the conference today Mr..
Matteson told Captain Smith that the
company was willing and even anxious
to disarm it's guards if assured of pro
lection by federal troops.

NOT REALLY A SERIOUS CASE
Hurry Call Brought Physician and
Family Out OF Church, but II
Was Soon Fixed Up.

This storyis told by a country doc
tors wife to illustrate some of the
trials and uncertainties of the profes-
sion.
I'VE had gotten pretty much out of
the way Of attending church when our
children were small, but a visiting
cousin, wishing to attend service in
the West, we ventured out, baby and
all. Scarcely had the text been an
nounced when messenger boy from
the telephone office rushed In in search
Of the doctor,
"The minister paused in his dis
course to allow them to pass out OF
the church. Realizing that his father
was leaving HIM behind, the baby, al
ways partial to the head OF the house,
began bowling Justify to accompany
him.
unable to quiet his screams, /. too,
was forced to go, necesaitating a sec
ond pause in the service.
Then 1t occurred to our guest that
he had locked the house and retained
the key. The doctor would be unable
to get either his case or his instru-
ments. To save delay he thought best
to take the key at once, SO he has
tened from the church. while there
was a third pause on the minister's
part
when we reached home doctor was
swinging idly in the hammock.
Whyl Whyl' exclaimed the un-
sophisticated cousin, didn't you have
a hurry call to an accident case or
something?'

IN CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES
THERE ARE 16,067, ,ss5; A
GROWTH OF s1s,s27

There are 1906, 1856 Catholics in the
United States proper, according to the
Official Catholic Directory for 1914,
which has just come from the press
and is published and copyrighted by
P. j. Kennedy and Sons, New York
City. The number in the United States
and it's possessions is given as 24,224,-

zone, the Hawaiian islands, Porto
Rico and the Philippines.
The figures for the United States
proper show an increase of 913.s27
over last year. A large part of this
increase Is due, the publishers state,
to reports from the Ruthenian-Greek
colonies, which are included in the
