Mrs. Matte E. Slo,hower, member

mission. recently appointed by Cover
nor Ammons. has been chosen secretary
Of the board at a salary OF Sloo per
month and an expense fund of 1900

for secretary the state civil service law
would not apply. but If an outside aP-

This blasted the hopes of Dora Phelps
Buell., who is said to have been prom
iscd the position by Governor Ammons
and was on the civil service waiting list.
Mrs. Slothower has entered upon her
duties. but no permanent office location
has been established. She was named

enemies, and particularly in view of the
fact that there is to be an election the
following November and organized labor
should make known its attitude at this
time as to who will receive the support
of the workers.
The United Labor Bulletin, the official
paper Of organized labor, will be made
the official program for Labor. Day and
large souvenir edition is to be printed
which will contain articles from promi-
nent members of organized labor
throughout the country and other fea-
lures of the labor movement.
The committee has not as yet chosen
a place to hold the picnic. but is nego-
tiating with the various resorts and will
announce its decision at later date If
the plans of the committee on entertain
mcnt are carried out the celebration will
be notable in this respect
Preparations for Labor Day are being
started earlier this year than previously

plated plans.

real money is estimated in round num-
bers at sl5,0O0000. In addition scores
of lives have been lost, much suffering
endured by strikers and their families
and the Industrial Advancement of the
state retarded Is years, all because Gov
ernor Ammons refuses to enforce the
state mining laws and turned the militia

on organized labor. In doing this he
has also imposed an additional tax bur-

ated measures.
The other three measures have q vital
and direct relation to the establishment
of social, industrial and political justice
of all the people in Colorado and are a.
follows:
2. An act to provide for child well
fare commission to codify the laws of
our state relating to women and chill
dren so as to have them in convenient
booklet form for the kind of distribution
that has been demanded for years past
and that heretofore has been largely
done through the Juvenile Court of Dem
yer, paid by Judge Lindsey personally
and without expense to the state. The
purpose of such code is to provide the
state of Colorado with a systematic and
scientifically arranged compilation of all
the present laws of this state relating to
women and children, with such sugges-
tions as to amendments, alterations and
additions of new laws so as to give Col
orado the most perfect system of laws
possible for the protection of women and
children. The bill does not provide for
salaries or personal expenses Of the com
missioners. New York state, Massachu-
setts. Ohio. Illinois and many other
states have provided very expensive
commissions on the same or similar sub.
jects.
3 An act TO amend Sec. % of Art. II
Of the constitution. providing for three
fourths jury verdicts in civil cases; per-
mitting women to sit on juries and max
ing other provisions for the better ad-
ministrntion Of justice.
Most of the features Of this bill have
been before the Legislature since 1850.
II is known as The Reform of the jury
System" The present system is cumber-
some and expensive 10 the people OF our
state. II is behind the progressive states.
where many changes have been made.
II proposes 10 abolish the possibility Of
United labor bulletin., 1914-04-25

mistrials and expense to litigants and
to the people by providing that three
fourths of a jury may find a verdict
in civil cases. The bill also provides
against the hazard of one juror getting
sick during the course of a trial and.
under the present system, requiring a
retrial of the entire case. The bill will
permit the defendant to waive a jury
trial in felony case If he desires, as he
often does
4. Adult Probation Bill. This is a
much needed law in Colorado, applying
only TO minors and first offenders, eS-
ccpting. however, such serious crimes as
capital offenses. rape accompanied by
force OF violence, highway robbery,
arson. etc. Under such a bill one Fast
ern city has been collecting s5o.oco n
month from first offenders and espe-
ciaIly men who have refused to support
their wives and children but who are
placed on probation instead of being
fed up in jail while their families starvc
outside. II will save TO the people hun

measures great efforts have been made

Under the direction of the Colorado
Social Service League campaign head
quarters have been opened at room 20e
Mercantile building in the interest Of
vital measures proposed by the leaders
Of progress in Colorado. Judge Ben B.
Lindsey is the president and George
Eisler secretary. The measures pro-
posed do not concern politicians or par
ties, but have a very direct and vital
relation to the people of the entire state.
There are four measures to be sub
mitted TO referendum vote of the peo-
pie at the general state election this
fall. and in order to accomplish this 25, :
900 signatures to petitions for the ini-
tiation of each must be secured before
the first day Of July. All who are will
ing 70 cooperate in this movement are
requested to call on or write the presi-
dent or secretary of the League.
The first measure provides for a more
free use of the initiative and referen-
dunn hw and makes it more responsive
to the will Of the people by amending
the state constitution. In substance il
is as follows;
l. An amendment to Sec. l, Art. v
of the constitution adding and extend
ing the peoples power under the initia-
tive and referendum provisions so as to
permit the people upon certain occasions
TO have initiated and referred measures

AMERICANS FACE
EXECUT|ONERs in
JUAREZ> PRISON
Cattleman Who Made Escape
Tells ofFate of Two Cit
liens of America
TAKEN FROM PRISON.
AND SHOT TO DEATH
Another Englishman Believed
To Be Among Those
Before Firing Squad

Ell PASO, Texas, February 23.-
From the dungeon of the Foreign
Prison" in Juarez, through man who
escaped death by daring and intrigue,
friends in Ell Paso of Gustave Bauch
and Domingo Flores, both American
citizens, learned definitely of their
execution in Juarez.
J. J. Bacca, a New Mexican cattle
man, well known on the border as a
man of reliability, whose home is in
Soccorro, n. NJ, is in Ell Paso after an
experience in the Juarez prison
which, he says, added years to his
age.
Bacca was in the same cell in the
underground dungeon of Villas pri-
vate foreigners prison with Bauch
and Flore.
Another man was in the same cell,
but his name Bacca could not learn.
He thinks he may have been A. R.
Curtis, an Englishman and a friend of
William G.. Benton.
Bacca saw Bauch, Flores and the
other man taken from the prison at
Sunset Wednesday and heard the
guards talk afterward of how the
three had been shot to death, how two
of them had not been killed at once,
and begged the firing squad to end
their agony, and how the grave into
which the three were thrown was left
open for ''the other American" mean
ing Bacca.
That night, after many intellectual
efforts, Bacca, through outside aid,
made his escape from the prison and
reached Ell Paso, kept in. hiding until
the next morning., and then, pros
trated by his experience, was forced
to remain in bed until today, when he
started out to fnd Bauch's sister,
Mrs. J. NJ. Patterson, and deliver to
her the last message from Bauch.
SIN a dungeon too low to permit us
to stand" said Bacca, "Bauch, Floes,
the third man and Isat huddled in a
circle on the floor for rs hours without
water or food, but with good supply
of Mexican cigarettes, which we
smoked necessarily to make a little
| light while we planned in English
our escape.
"Bauch wrote the name and address
of his sister on the cuff Of his shirt
which he tore off and gave me-"
Bacca says once he and the three
men almost made their escape by at
ticking the guard and knocking down
several of them. That was when
they were being transferred from the
Quartet to the dungeon. That same
evening, he says, his three compan
ions were taken out, and his turn was
to come in the morning.
Bacca says Villa had him arrested
on the street. He was in Juarez tt
buy several hundred cattle from the
revolutionists, and seeing Villa ap
preach he went forward to speak tt
the rebel leader. :.
1t was the day the plot against Vii

ldered his arrest. Bacca says he

said by the temperance people will

The condition in Winchester is not
so well known, but it is expressed
that the saloons there are well regu-

to the letter of the law.
Several meetings have been held

bloodiest battlefield of the revolution,
but would not go with other non-com-
batants to the British Legation for pro-
lection.
