SWEARS COAL COMPANIES INTERFERED
WITH ELECTION IN LAS ANIMAS co.
Knew Of Plot to Scare SCabs,
Witness Admits; New
Developments.
Associated Press.


TRINIDAD, Colo, Feb. 2s.-Fresh
charges of political interference
in Las Animas county by officers
and employees of large coal companies
were made before the congressional
committee today by ID. NJ. Ralston, as
sistant district attorney.
He was called as witness by the
operators to testify concerning the
disorders he had seen. On cross
examination he described several al
legged instances which, he says, sup
ported the charge of interference by
the companies. On redirect examina-
tion he admitted sympathy with the
strikers.
Ralston told of being fired on Oct.
81, while en- route to Ludlow to get
the body of man killed in a battle
between guards and strikers.
Representative Brynes questioned
him as to why he had not taken steps
to prosecute the men who shot at
him. He replied that he could not
identify them.
He testified that In 1904 Frank
Baird. camp marshal, attempted to
keep him out of the polling place at
Hastings, where he had gone as a
challenger.
He testified later of the election OF
F. H. Mclfresh, then company store
manager at Starkville. He took the
ballots from the voters and marked

Most of the World's
Misery Comes From
Little Sins
BY the Rev. DR.. CHARLES L. DANA

1T seems to me that one of the
mistakes of preachers is that
they preach against great sins
too much and not enough against
the little things of the world.
After all, most people are not so
very bad. THE CRIMINALS OF
THE WORLD MAKE UP PER-
HAPS ONE PER CENT, and the
rest of humanity means to do about
right if one gives fair chance for
the play of the ego. Besides, the
miseries of the world do not come
chiefly from sin, at least from the
great sins. THEY COME FROM
LITTLE SINS, weaknesses, sick
ness, misfortune, poverty and do
mestic Embellishments.
