.L|NDERFELT TELLS
 OF LUDLOW TENT
 COLONY BATTLE
of the Colorado State Troops Appears Be- fore Commission of In-
 dustrial Relations

DenVer, December 11.-Lieut. K. b. Linderfelt of the Colorado state troops told the federal commission on indus trial relations his story today of the Ludlow tent colony battle and his at titude concerning the enforcement of martial law in the Colorado coal strike
 "A man who takes up arms against the constituted law of the state no longer is a striker; he is a rebel" said Linderfelt. "Of course have feelings against these men. Not because they were members of the United Mine Workers, but because they were in arms against the law. There is no place in this state for armed men whether they are strikers or mine guards"
 Linderfelt said that if he had been in full charge he would have tried by court-martial the Americans found un- der arms and would have sent them to the penitentiary for treason. Aliens in arms he would have deported to their native countries. he declared, under tho alien laws of 1894 and 1895.
 Linderfelt is contradicted testimony of H. C. Farber, station agent at Lud- low, who said the battle started inn itia. Linderfelt testified the bombs were exploded on water tank hill by the mill itia. Iinderfe1t testified the bombs were exploded after his detachment was at tackled by strikers, entrenched in a railroad cut 500 yards distant The. bombs were signal for help, he said.
 J. J. Hendrix, district attorney in the strike zone, said he had been unable to learn from Governor Ammons wheth- CT martial law had been declared. The governor, he said, after repeated in- quiries by telegraph, told him to "see Chase" meaning Adjt Gen. John Chase Hendrix said the legality of the mar tial law asserted by General Chase al- ways had been questioned.
 The final judgment of the suprem- acy of the militia under martial law in the state had been the ruling by the supreme court, he said, in it's decision in the Mover case.

Al H. Wilson

Al H. Wilson, the singing German dialect comedian, will visit this city on Thursday, matinee and night, when he will present When Old New York was Dutch" at the Jefferson theatre.
 It never did require much of an eff fort to like Al H. Wilson, for there Is no "high-brow' effort at the social problem in his acting. Possessed of a voice that rings true he is content to fall in love in the good old fashioned way, to sing the songs that have a touch of sentiment, and to dispense the kind of comedy that keeps his au- dience in a state of meriment. and that sends them on their homeward way feeling all the better for having wit messed his performance.
