GOV. AMMON URGES BONDS
 ON SICK BED
Colorado Executive Unable to Write Message on
 Strike War.
EXHAUSTED BY LABORS,
 HIS HEALTH BREAKS
Disarmament of Miners and Company Guards Left to
 Cavalry.

Denver. May 4-Exhausted by the strain over events of the last two weeks in the strike zone. Governor F. M. ATanons has been unable to pre- pare his message for the special sses- sion of the legislature which convened today to consider legislation in connec- ton with the strike. Last night, while working upon the message, Governor Ammons broke down and was forced to his bed.
 In consequence it was anrounced early today that the governor would ask both branches of the legislature to meet in joint session and he then was to ask them to enact g. measure permitting the issuance of bonds to pay the expenses incurred by the state in maintaining the militia in the strike zone, debt which now exceeds $1.- 000, ,00Os
 The legislators were to be asked to enact law prescribing for the estab- 1ishnentso of afpermanent constabulary among other things.
 ss Heavy patrols of federal troops scat tered throughout the strike zones of Colorado gave state officials a sense of security today which they had not enjoyed since the beginning of the in dustrial strife. Practically all of the Colorado National Guardsmen have been withdrawn.
 The matter of disarmament has not been undertaken yet and probably will not be until the arrival late today of Col James Lockett with the Eleventh regiment, U. s. Cavalry Officials Of the Colorado Fuel 6 Iron Company declared that, just as soon as the commander Of the federal troops is ready to disarm the men and afford protection at the mines, the guards in their employ will turn over their arms.
 No intinatiun had been received. however, as to the manner in which the strikers would observe the procla- nation of disarmanent.

votes as cast and counted in favor of all the bond issues, excepting that for the East Washington avenue bridge, which was beaten by 247. The ma jority for the sewer bonds was 799; for the Stratford avenue bridge bonds, 1,125; for the High school completion bonds, 1,585; for High school equip nent bonds, LOAF; for grammar school bonds, 5517; for pavement bonds, 355.
 The election indicates that the vot- CTS probably favor the Stratford ave- nue bridge bonds and the High school bonds.
 The majorities are greater than probably can be accounted for by the methods used in the election.
 But the result upon the other bonds would probably have been otherwise, had the election been conducted in the manner in which elections are by law conducted when officers are cho- sen.
 The sentiment expressed broadcast today was that the election should be challenged, less with the purpose of upsetting the result, than to insure that future elections shall be held in a way to protect the franchises of the people
