" with Mr., Rockefeller and explained
the whole situation to him. AS | am

that explained that the president did.
not want to send federal troops into

Militia Retakes Camp

Canon City Colo, April n The
mining camp captured yesterday by
the strikers was re-occupied peacefully
today by the militia. Not shot was
fired. The mine Buildings and houses
were undamaged except for that
wrought BY bullets. The machinery
was said to have been damaged con
siderably. Chandler was deserted
when the militia arrived, and no strik-
ers were sighted in the surrounding
hundreds.
At $3.50 O'Clock the cavalry troops,
followed closely by four companies of
infantry, started on a reconnaissance in
the direction Of Chandler, under or
ders to provoke no tronble but to re-
ply if fired upon, and not to attempt
to retake Chandler BY force. NO strik-
ers were found in that vicinity. It was
probable that a small detachment
would remain at Chandler until the
residents who were driven out yester-
day in the battle, in which one man
was killed, had returned. The re-
naming militiamen were ordered to
return to Canon City.
The arrival Of General Chase early
today with 200 militia had quieting
effect on the residents. An effort by
General Chase to parley with leaders
Of a force Of miners at Prospect
Heights, a suburb was unsuccessful.

Victims Are Buried
When they buried Louis Tikas, the
rifleman who last week battIed with
state troops at Ludlow and wore the
red handkerchief, the army Of AgIlilar
today laid dowr their guns and held
wax tapers as they joined in the sol
emn chant prescribed by the Greek
church for the burial of it's dead.
Balkan war veterans, lately emerg-
ed from the smoke Of gunpowder and
of blazing mines, breathed the incense
fumes from the silver censer which
the priest swung over the three black
caskets where lay the bullet pierced
bodies of Louis the Creek" Nick
Lonfiakis and Nick Tommick, the last
two having fallen in the fighting about
Aguilar.
Jesus, give place in Heaven to
Louis" chanted the priest, Eseas
Baskopulus, dn the Greek tongue.
Jesus, bring life from the grave"
solemnly repeated the dark-faced
fighting men who crowded the under
takers chapel.
Jesus, if Louis mas any enemies,
may they forget their ghostihty, "
chanted Pete Tsiregotis, the young
striker who had been chosen new
commander Of the strikers, succeeding
to the fallen Tikaa He stood beside
the priest The tapers had burned
low The place was dim with incense.
But the priest chanted on, his iron
gray hair and flowing beard in SOM
bre contrast with his gold and siver-
woven robes
Outside, throngs Of strikers not of
the Greek nation--Italians Germans,
Mexicans, Russians, Poles. Servians,
Bulgarians, Lithuanians, Croatians,
stood patiently waiting to join the
procession to the grave. And on the
edge of the town grim riflemen guard
ed the new tent colony of the strikers,
men-at-arms, while a few miles north
the rattle of grounded muskets and
the sharp challenge Of sentries in the
militia camp gave evidence that the
reign of hate and war in the Colorado
coal fields was not yet ended.
