 Against Withdrawal

CHICAGO, May 20.-Judge Ben Lindsey and a committee of five wo- men reached this city today en route to Washington to protest to President Wilson against the withdrawal of the federal troops. from the strike zone in Colorado.
 Judge Lindsey predicts that civil war is sure to follow the withdrawal of the troops, as the foreign strikers have received a number of shipments of high power guns and plenty of ammunition and are preparing for trouble with the militia. ;,
 'The true story of the outrage at Ludlow, is too horrible in detail to print" said the Denver judge. "The tents were fired by the militiamen and women and children were killed; the machine guns, of, the ,state, troops, were turned on the tent colony. Killing a ''lltpae number; of the strikers. Gonditians in the strike zone, are so bitter that no state command can be sent in that district and ;maiRtain order" i

WOULD A|RBI|IRA7E CANAL TOLL BILL
Agitation Grows to Have Panama Ca nal Bill Submitted to lnternation-
 al Board of Diplomats.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The agi- tation to have the Panama canal tolls question submitted to a board of in ternational arbitrators has been growing until it seems now that the Senate cannot pass the repeal bill at this session.
 Friends of the administration are determined that it shall be brought to vote and are fighting the delays, which seem to make it's ultimate passage doubtful The Democratic opponents of the bill predict the loss of hundreds of thousands of votes if the tolls are repealed and are urging the administration to submit the bill to The Hague and then, no matter what the outcome-and it is gener- ally believed if the foreign diplomats get a chance at the treaty the right of the United States to regulate the tolls in favor of American ships will be denied-the administration will not be forced to defend it's action, as it is sure to be called upon to do if the Simms repeal bill passes the Senate.

Says He Won't Run for Governor of New York-Deeiares We Treat
 ed Colombia Right.

NEW YORK, May 2O-Ex-president Roosevelt. upon his return here yes terday from South America, hurled defiance at his critics, denied that he had expressed himself in a decision regarding the nomination as president on the Progressive ticket, and said that he had not stated he would or would not be candidate for cleo tion as president.
 The Bull Moose leader stated to reporters that he would not be a candidate for governor of New York at the election this fall, but refused to say if he would support Assembly, man Sulzer, who has organized the American party, and will run as its candidate to secure the position from which he was deposed when i'm peached by the legislature.
 "The actions of the American ad- ministration under my direction, when the Panama republic was recogniz- ed, were entirely correct" declared the colonel Colombia refused to al low the construction of the canal ex- cept at price that would be pro hibitive. The American government needed the canal or else would have had to expend as much money in maintaining the fleet of warships on both coasts, besides the economic ad- vantages that were sure to follow the opening of the canal. We have noth- ing to reproach ourselves with in our conduct toward Colombia and no apol- ogy to offer to the South American republic"
 Ex-president Roosevelt will make a trip this fall to England and lecture upon the new discoveries made by his party in the jungles of Brazil.

BRHkA's BUDGET
 ID BE A BILLION

 Incomes.

LONDON. May 20.-David Lloyd George will introduce his sixth budget in the House of Commons today. The estimates of the national expenditures are expected to amount to about $1,- 050,O0O, O,0OO-$25. 100000 more than was spent by the country during the most expensive year of the Boer war. Jut twenty years ago the annual na- tional expenditure was $500, 0,O00, ,OOO
 Increased taxation is a necessity of the situation, for the chancellor can not count on such an increase in revenue as the trade boom brought last year. Exactly how Mir. Lloyd George plans to meet the increased expenditures is as yet an official sec ret, but it is generally believed that a feature of tn new taxation will be substantial increase in the supertax on large incomes.

Generals Meet

This Afternoon
NJ n PORT. ONO, Is THE
BIRTHPLACE OF TWO EAsI-
SFNT ATHLETES.

Middleport, Ohio, Is the birthplace
of two eminent athletcs--one pro-
fessional. the other an amateur. The
professional who first saw the light of
day in MidGlcport is Benny Kauff, OF
the indianapolis Federal league club,
the amateur Everett Lawerance cap
tain and enI Of the Marshall college
team OF Huntington, w Va, which
team will meet Washington and Lee
In Lexington today. In the territory
where lawrence has played he has
earned for himself the nickname of
The Frank fIinkey. Of West Vir-
ginla."
Benny kauff has no nickname ex-
lcept Benny. hat when he was with
the New Terk .nkees at training
caup in Athens. Georgia. in 1911. he
was called The Runaway Colt" For
this title. like for certain food pre-
rarations. there's reason. Said rea-
son was that the only way to keep
Benny from running, once he got on,
was to put him out. In Athens one
day Kauff tahlished a worlds record
for getting thrown out. The first time
he batted he singled and was caught
trying to stretch the Hit into a. double.
Then he doubled and died trying to
stretch the -weliop into triple. Third
of Benny's waiiops was a triple and he
persisted in the attempt to extend II
into a home run.
Citizens Of Middleport say that Kauff
is a 400 batter and Lawrence a 900
fieitaer-f.aeafsil4E by he-last that he
lets very few men circle his end.
Lexingtonians will not be the only
