Found Not
Guilty

Denver, Aug. .25.-Findings of the
court martial which tried 22 Officers
and men of the National Guard OF
Colorado on charges growing out OF
the Ludlow battle of April goth. were
made public today. All the defend
ants were acquitted.
The militiamcn were charged with
murder. manslaughter, arson and
larceny, in some cases the number
of counts against one individual run
ming high. In addition, Lieut.. X. f.
Linderfelt was charged with an as
sault upon Louis Tikas. leader of the
Greek strikers, who was killed in the
Ludlow fighting. The court mar
tial found that Linderfelt struck III
kas on the head with a rifle. but that
the provocation was such that the as
sault was justified.
Before the verdicts Of the court
martial were made public they were
submitted by Adjutant General John
Chase to Governor f. NJ. Ammons for
his approval.
The findings in connection with
the assault on Louis Tikas by Lin
derfelt are as follows:

REVOKED
City Adopts Ne,o Plan
Of Paying Time
Checks to Auoid
Confusion of
Funds

That the Pople brothers who hold
the contract for cleaning and sweep
ing the paved streets of the city have
provisions of the contract was em-
phasized at the city council meeting
last night. and the council seemed
inclined to revoke the contract. After
considerable discussion the city at
torney was instructed to notify the
contractors to appear before the
council at its next regular meeting
and answer the complaints and show
cause why the contract should not
be taken away.
Innumerable complaints of the bad
condition of the streets have been
heard for some time. Moreover. it
was reported that contrary to the
stated terms of the contract the con-
tractors had been having work done
in repair of equipment and charging
the expense up to the city when the
contract states that the certain re-
pairs must be paid for by the con-
tractors The council ordered that
the amounts charged to the city
should be deducted and held out of
the next payment to the contractors.
Another step toward retrenchment
was taken last night when the coun-
ell adopted new system for paying
its time checks az recommended by
city q sassrs.i 1Aiia. The treasurer
stated that the policy pursued by the
council had led to confusion at the
hank and that the fund laid aside for
the purpose of paying the checks had
been frequently overdrawn. His sug-
gestion embodied in a motion by Al
derman Donahue was that these
checks be issued by the city clerk
only to employees released from work
and that all others be paid in the
usual manner when the council pass
es on all bills and payrolls, the last
meeting in the month.
The fund of 1880 was originally
placed in the Commercial Savings
bany by the Taylor administration
as a convenience for the employees Of
the water department and street and
bridge and who were in the habit Of
taking checks to merchants and dis
counting lneul. He 5s oleiis nv" "S'SA ,
was abused and lately almost all en-
ployes were paid with these checks
and hence the confusion and COM
plant spoken of by the city treas
urer.
Before the state of Colorado will
reimburse the city for the meals given
military prisoners and soldiers held
in the city jail during the time the
militia occupied the district. it must
furnish the names OF all prisoners
thus held and cared for in accord
ance with the bill rendered by the
city. A letter from Col. G. M. Lee
was read last night setting forth this
\ request which will be complied with.
Residents of the south. side In a
petition asked that steps be built on
l the South Commercial street hill for
the benefit of residents going to and
from their homes. The petition was
rejected.

mans march on Paris. We do not
imagine Namur was taken by rush.
THE blunt fact remains that In a
really first class battle the French
troops occupying a secluded position
of singular strength were driven out
by the Germans after not more than
two days fighting. This speaks vol
zines for the powers of the German
attack.
England and Russia must stub
bornly resolve that come what may
to France they will never surrender
to Germany but will stick to her as
they stuck to Napoleon until they
pull her down. AS long as we hold
the sea we cannot ourselves be vital
ly struck"
The Times military expert says:
"It is too early to say that the
line of the Meuse south of Mezierres
must be abandoned but the outlook
is not favorable and the develop
ments of the situation in the next
few days will be awaited with anx-
iety."
He continues:
There is undoubtedly some feel
ing among the Belgians that they
have not been adequately supported
by the allies and that they have
borne the whole brunt Of the war in
the north. but we cannot believe
the Belgians did less than their duty
and we expect to hear that they were
attacked by overpowering numbers.
THE possession of Namur was
vital for Germany and it was a fine
stroke for the Germans to have
rushed the place under the eyes of
the allied armies.
