Washn-ton May 29.-Undcr an or

pcstmasters IN Michigan will be called
upon To face a Democratic examining
board during August or resign.
The examinations are supposed To
be conducted under the civil service

members of Congress and the Demo-
cratic machine will be permitted -
select the successors to the present
postmasters in all of the offices where
there has not been change since the

With much ado it was announced az

that for some good business reasons"
The second or third candidate on the

The good business reasons" where
this system of selecting fourth class
postmasters has been put into effect
has been the recommendation of a
congressman or the local Democratic
committee.
As a matter of fact after the exam
nations have been conducted the list
OF eligibles will be sent either to the
Democratic congressman or the Demo-

If the two highest should be Repub-

TELLS OF COLORADO STRIKE.
State Military Official Says Federal
Troops Must Remain.

New York, May 29.-The federal
troops could now be Withdrawn from
Colorado without danger, according to
testimony given by Major Edward b.
Boughton, judge advocate of the Colo
RADIO military district. before the fed
eral commission on industrial rela .
tions i'm session here. Major Houghton
said he had been sent by Governor
Ammons to enlighten public opinion;
(which has been inilamcd by press re-
ports"
The witness said that it was his
opinion that the mine owners had
yielded To the strikers i'm every de-
mand except that for recognition of
the union: that the mine workers had
received fair treatment at the hands
of their employers.
Major Boughton admitted that since
he had been in New York he had been
in conference at 26 Broadway, Stand
ard oil headquarters, and that he haG
not seen any representative of the
mine workers i'm this city.
Boughton said that statements to
the effect that women and children
were shot in Ludlow are not true"
There was no such thing as the
Ludlow massacre" he continued. No
body was killed or burned except a
small child who was shot, it appears,
not by troops of the state but as "a re-
suit of his own carelessness.

ceased. The Eureka and Evelyn res

The Empress Of Ireland, in command
of Lieutenant Kendall, of the RoysI

years of age, woman of considerable
wealth, who left alone through the
deaths of other immediate relatives

Lincoln, Neb. May 29.-The control
of the st. Louis and Grand Island rail-
way by the Union Pacific railroad,
which owns II per cent of the stock, is
i'm violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. and unless control of the Grand
Island road is turned over to the mi

a receiver will be appointed. This is
the ruling of Federal Judge T. {.
Munger. who handed down an injunc-
tion decree. The case involves the
control of about $6,0O0.000 and was
brought by the minority stockholders
two years ago. Eminent counsel was
engaged and the legal battle was one
of giants. Samuel Untcrmyer, New

the funds and earnings of the Grand
Island road to develop and improve on

ing used by the Union Paciiice as n
part of it's main line, this being due,
it was alleged, to the disregard of a
proper Improvement and development
of the Grand Island line. 1t was also
charged that the Union Pacific had
absorbed a competing line when il OBJ
tained control of the Grand Island
road, and thus was violating the Sher-
man antitrust law. The Union Pacific
contended that even if the Grand ISL

amount of the competition was so

"If railway company may be per-

petition is relatively small, the process
may be continued until many such
