Hail of Bullets

Trinidad. CoL-Forty-fiye dead, more
than two-thirds of them women and
children, score missing and more
than twenty wounded, is the toll in
tragedy and death known to have
been taken by the 14-hour battle
which ragged with uninterrupted fury
between state troops and striking coal
miners in the Ludlow district
With arms ready both sides, after
a day of ominous quiet, now await
the coming of dawn when it is fore
casted the battle will be resumed with
greater bloodshed than that which has
occurred.
The militia, which drove the
strikers from their tent colony and,
it is charged, fired it, involving the
greatest loss of life, are preparing
for a machine gun sortie at daybreak
from their position along the Colo
RADIO & Southern Railroad tracks at
either side of the Ludlow station.
Force of Miners Growing.
On the surrounding hills, sheltered
by rocks and boulders, 400 strikers
await their coming, while their ranks
are being swelled by grim faced men
who txamped overland in the dark,
carrying guns and ammunition from
the neighboring union camps.
Italian, Greek and Austrian miners
have appealed to their consular repre-
sentatives for protection and John
McLennan, president of the local
union district, has wired the Red
Cross in Denver to be prepared to
render aid.
On the outcome of the engagement
may depend the fate of the strike.
Both sides face it as a battle to the
death with no thought of quarter
asked for or received, At late hour
it was said here that the battle could
be averted only by the arrival of over
whelming re-inforcements for the
troops from Denver.
Charred Bodies in Pits.
The Ludlow camp is mass of
charred debris and buried beneath it
is a stsry of horror unparalleled in
the history of industrial warfare. In
the holes which have been dug for
their protection against the rifle fire
the women and children died like.
trapped rats when the flames swept
over them.
One pit uncovered disclosed the
bodies of ten children and two women.
Further exploration was forbidden
by the position of the camp, which
lies directly between the militia and
the strikers positions.
Military authorities here admitted
they did not know how great the loss
of life may have been.
Explosion of cartridges within the
camp and the hail of lead with which
the militia raked it as the flames
mounted skyward added to the horror
of the fire itself.

WANT GovERNMENIPIpELINE
Southwestern Producers Are Aroused
Over Recent Cut in Prices of
Crude Petroleum.

The recent cut of twenty cents
barrel in the price of crude oil has
caused the operators to turn with
keen interest to the proposed govern
ment pipe line to the gulf They would
warmly welcome such a project. Two
agents of the government will be in
feasibility of such line From there
they will go through the entire oil
field
The project calls for a line capable
of taking twenty thousand barrels
day. That isn't much out of a total
daily production of a quarter million
barrels, but once it was in, a system
of Iaterals would grow from it thatIin
time would place private pipe lines in
the same relation to the government
line that express companies now hold
toward the parcel post Once the
United States begins work on a pipe
line it will be committed to policy it
never will abandon, is the belief OF
the operators, and that is a day they
will welcome.
While operators cannot get away
from the fact that the manipulation
supply and demand, they say it is only
an excuse. Conditions are such that
the situation is really in the hands of
the pipe line companies. They are
able to make the supply and demand
suit themselves. They can pay what
they want to for crude and the oper-
ator can take what they offer or go
out of business.

24YEARS FOR GUERINGER'S PAL
Second Conviction in Kansas
City Assault Case.

Kansas City.-Twenty-four years in
the penitentiary is the penalty Oscar
Harrison must pay for his part in the
attack on Mrs. Gertrude Shidler- A
jury in Judge Latshaw's court found
him guilty at 5:15 o'clock in the after
noon and assessed shat penalty
Vic Gueringer, the first of the gang
tried for the attack on the woman in
the gambling den at 1924 Grand ave-
nue., March 9, was sentenced to be
hanged by a jury in the same court
ten days ago.
Gueringer it was who subjected the
woman to most of the torture. Har-
riSon did not attack her His part
was to hold her. At the first ballot
taken by the jury two jurors voted to
hang Harrison. 1t took an hour of
argument to induce them to agree on
the 24-year prison sentence instead of
death
The jury was out exactly the same
length of time as the Gueringer jury
Like the Gueringer jury, the men who
decided Harrison's face feared the
gang of which the man they tried was
a member and agreed before leaving
the jury room that they WOULD not
afterward discuss the details of their
deliberations. s

TO HARNESS BIG BLUE RIVER
Project Under Way at MarysviIle to
Furnish Light, Heat and Power
4 by Dams.

A project is under way for the es-
Establishment of dams on the Big Blue
River, covering distance OF one hum
dred miles, from which it is expected
an aggregate of six thousand horse
power will be developed, to furnish
light, heat and power to points within
a radius of twenty to thirty miles on
either side of the river. The project
is being doomed by Charles A. Boards
lee and E G. Ward of Lincoln, Neb,
who were in the city and filed at the
office of the cour'y clerk, A. A. Nork
notice of hav-s posted notices at
Tour points on the banks of the Big
Blue River. These notices state that
dams are to be built at these points
and that power fumes will be put in,
in which will be installed turbine
wheels connecting electric current
generators to furnish the electric
power for irrigating pumps, beneficial
and industrial use.
The dam at the lower end of this
proposed line viii be put in some dis
tance below Irving. All the power
plants are to be connected in such
manner on the main line that it can
be tapped at any point for use.

HEAVY RAINS DO DAMAGE
Continued from page one

In the community of which
Forest Hill is the center all
streams were raised higher than
since the big flood in 1886. Fenc-
es, bridges and outbuildings In
the bottoms were washed away,
and many young pigs and lambs
were drowned on the range or In
the pastures. The railroad bridg-
es were endangered, and the la
ter rains probably put some Of
them out of commission.
In the neighborhood of Wash
ington the streams were out OF
their beds, and the Courtableu
was bank-full and still rising.
Reports from all sections of the
state are but a reiteration of the
above. Planting has been much
retarded, but the season in the
ground, if favorable weather pre-
walls now, will greatly inure to
the farmers good.

ter a two-hours' search they
found him standing opposite a

No Printers There

The other day it was determ-
ined to issue a newspaper, or
journal, in the Illinois peniten-
tiary at Joliet. An editor and
contributors We're easily secured
from among the conyicts, but it
was found necessary to have the
paper set up and printed in a
printing Office outside the prison,
for the very good fact that
among the 1850 convicts within
Joliet's walls there could not be
found even one printer.
More than almost any other
man. the printer finds his duties
nicely balanced between mental
and manual work. His mind is
not locked up while his body
wearies itself. His body is not
inactive while his mind performs
its task. There is a harmony OF
activity which ought to be almost
ideal. And the results point to
the conclusion that it is ideal, az
witnessed by the exposition at
the Joliet prison. The printer is
an enlightened man, and really
enlightened men do not go to
prison. He is the living exem-
plar of the superiority of that
education which summons the
hand as well as the brain, and 9
strong argument.i in favor of the
manual schools. Let us have
more such schools.

Tensas Delta Land Case Again

A petition for an appeal from
the de:ision in the Tensas Delta
land case to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals was
filed in the Federal Court by At
torney General R. G. Pleasant
al Shreveport Tuesday. The de-
cision appealed from was rem
dered against the State by Judge
Aleck Boarman during the fall
term there and sustained the
comp; omise effected by the Ten
sas Delta Land Company and the
TenSas Levee Board, while the
states suit against the company
was pending.
= After the states case had been
pushed, but before it came to
trial, the company agreed to pay
the levee board 500, and in
return the board agreed to with
draw the suit. The attorney gen.
eral refused to recognize this
agreement and prepared to pros
ecute the case, whereupon the
company secured a mandamus
ordering him to appear in the
Federal Court to show cause why
the case should not be with
drawn.
Arguments were held in
Shreveport and a decision sus-
tanning the compromise was rem
dered by Judge Boarman. 1t is
from this decision that the attor-
ney general seeks to appeal, ask
ing that the compromise be set
aside and the case allowed to be
tried on it's merits.
