labor LEADERS PLACED
Behind PRISON DOORS
Pitched Battles in Colorado Result in
Arrest of Men Prominent During
Coal Fields Dispute.

Denver Colo, Feb 3-Following the
handing up Of $50 secret indictments. COW
ering murder, arson. assault, and rioting,
wholesale arrests Of labor leaders began
today as the result OF special grand jury
investigation into the pitched battles dur
ing the coal strike.
Already nearly a score Of men are held
ten of them having been placed in the
Walsenburg Jail Among those arrested
are Eli NJ. Gross, vice president OF the
State labor organization: William T.
Hickey. secretary and treasurer. and
Charles Haines. secretary OF the United
Mine Workers at Walsenburg.
Feeling is running high among union
labor sympathizers. The sudden activity
toward prosecution. coming two months
after the strike was called off and nearly
a year since the riots, was branded today
by John McLennan. president OF the
United Mine Workers. as a raid on or
ganized labor.
The grand jury which returned the in
dictments and on whose warrants the
arrests are being made was impaneled
last November at the order of Attorney
General Farrar. after the district attor-
ney had declared the procuring of a
grand jury impossible The indictments
are based on occurrences in the three
day battle at the McNally mine last
April. when a coal company employe
and Maj. p. p. Lester, of the Colorado
National Guard. were killed.

Secretary Garrison Confers on Philip
pines with House Committee.
More Men Needed.

Fertilization OF the Philippines, Hawaii,
and other island possessions Of the
United States was discussed at a secret
meeting of a subcommittee Of the House
Committee on Appropriations yesterday.
Secretary Of War Garrison. Gen. Crozier.
Chief Of Ordnance: Gen. Weaver, Chief
of the Coast Artillery. and Lieut.. Col
Winslow. OF the Engineer Corps Of the
army, discussed the subject with the
committee
1t is understood that Secretary Garrison
and his aides said the defenses of the
Philippines and Hawaii were adequate
SO far as material is concerned. but that
1t was highly desirable that additional
men should be authorized to man them
Officers indicated that Corregidor Island
in Manila Bay had Notifications that
could withstand a long siege.
However, the suggestion was made
that if an enemy made a landing near
Manila the city probably soon would
be taken. 1t was disclosed in the
course of the hearing that the num-
ber of mines in the waters around
Manila had been vastly increased
within recent months. and an increased
appropriation for mines was asked.
Representative Gardner, of Massa =
chusetts, appeared before the commit
tee. He argued for big appropriations
for fortifcations. contending that the
guns mounted on the coast defenses
were not adequate to battle with the
ordnance carried by modern Dread
noughts of Germany, Great Britain
and other first-class powers.

Won Hindenburg Said to Have At

Assaults Near Rawka.
BY FREDERICK RENNERT.

PetrOgrad. Feb. Seen. Won Hindeburg
seems to realize that the campaign OF
1915 is beginning very badly for his STRAIT
egy. His position is becoming insecure.
Through the determined Russian ad-
vance north OF the VistuIa the Germans
are now pressed further back in that
region than they have been at any time
since the commencement OF the presen,
invasion from Thorn at the beginning of
December.
They have kept an unsteady hold upon
Lipno. twenty miles from the Prussian
frontier, and their four corps which wers
recently introduced between the Vistula
and the Mnawa are all drawing north as
a consequence OF continued westward
pressure from the Russian army moving
north Of the Masurian Lakes.
AS Won Hindenburg abhors inactlon, ne
is driven to repeat disastrous frontal at
tacks on the line OF the Russian in
trenched position to the westward of
Rawka.
Gen. Mackenzen has again turned the

even less success than before. The Rus
slams after desperate bayonet fighting.
recaptured the southern section of the
front intrenChments which the Germans
had held. A fight for a farm south of
GUmin contisued all day, and was recon-
menced at daylight the next day.
The Russians in Central Poland are
withstanding these monotonous positional
onslaughts with uniinching steadiness, in
the knowledge that their armies in the
north and south have definitely grasped
the initiative from the enemy and are
forcing the campaigns in East Prussia
and Hungary into a situation which must
mean the final ruin of the second inva-
sion OF Poland
While general interest centers in the
fighting west OF Warsaw. the military
experts regard the news that another in
vasion OF Hungary is in full swing as Of
greater Importance from a strategical
standpoint. The Russian general staff
reports that large forces of cavalry are
now approaching Budapest.

from Missouri heard those whisperings, -
demanded Senator Camden.
'Oh, in the cloakroom." replied Mr..
Stone
4 should like TO know who said it,
persisted Senator Camden.
We'll, l will not tell YOU sharply re-
torted Mr.. Stone.
Il am very much Oblige to the Senator
for his courtesy" replied Mr. Camden.
Senator Stone practically admitted the
ship purchase bill was dead. He de-
nounced the seven Democrats as con-
spirators' who had secretly connived
with Republicans to kill the bill.
Thrusts at Senator Clarke.
Pointing to white-haired Senator Clarke
president pro tenn of the Senate, Mr.
Stone said: The honor OF president pro
TEN was sought by the Senator from Ar
kansas. 1t was not thrust upon him. -
Senator Stone admitted that Mr. Clarke
aspired for the honor and that he CStoneJ
had voted for him.
Replying. Senator Clarke said: Il have
always been ready 10 vote for any meas
ure that is Democratic but this is not
Democratic doctrine. No patron saint o'
Democracy has ever advocated it and no
party platform has ever declared for it
Senator Stone said:
Il prefer the leadership of Woodrow
Wilson to that of Elihu Root, Henry
Cabot Lodge. Theodore Burton. William
Edgar Borah. Jacob GalIinger. or any
OF the recreant Democrats who with
stilletos concealed have stabbed this
measure in the back. ! prefer associa-
tion with Democrats rather than an ILL
icit companionship with Republicans"
Turning from chiding the Democratic
insurgents. Senator Stone began to plead
with them to return to the party ranks
on the ship purchase bill and pointed
would have on the future OF the Demo-
cratic party in the Senate and also on
their own political futures He said he
would be only too happy to welcome
them back to the Democratic party.
81 would not only forget and forgive
but would pour upon them the blessed
waters from the very temple OF Democ-
racy-rebaptize them. as it were"
Senator Stone compared the action Of
the seven with that OF a company OF
French or German soldiers who would
desert from the main army at the height
of a battle. Finally. he spoke OF the
seven Senators as "conspirators'' who
had been secretly comforting with the
Republicans. This brought Senator
O'Gorman to his feet.
''I make the point of order that the
Senator from Missouri has violated the
rules of the Senate by imputing an un-
worthy motive to a fellow-Senator," said
Mr.. O'Gorman.
'T am within the rule" sharply retorted
Senator Stone. Their conduct was un-
worthy of Senator'S"
Senator Vardaman shouted for recogni
ton, but the chair refused to recognize
him.
"Oh. I apologize to the Senate" snapped
Senator stone, and then observed that
like Brutus, my colleagues are all hon.
orable men"
