TESTIMONY WEDNESDAY AT
NY. ON BATTLE OF MINERS
AND SOLDIERS AT LUDLOW

Mrs Doniski described the alleged
shooting at women and children during
the trouble between the miners and the
militia. She said that the militiamen
had demanded from one of the miners
leaders named Tykas the production Of
a certain miner who was shot in camp.
Shortly after the witness said, she heard
a bomb exploded and looking out Of her
tent she saw militiamen riding to-
ward them.
Tykas told us to scatter as the militia
had machine guns, testified the witness,

started 10 shoot at US. Two of my
children hid in a well with some of the
women. ana l hid in a barn with my
other children. Later in the afternoon.
my children crawled out Of the we'll and
started for the barn. The militia shot

Stones Attack

Senator Stone of Missouri was Sc
lected for this task, and delivered a
long speech, bitterly arraigning the
''recreant Democrats who had endeav-
ored to unhorse their party He par
ticularly attacked Senator Clarke Of
Arkansas, whom he described as the
leader in the revolt and Senator Cam
den of Kentucky, declaring they had
entered into secret agreement with
the Republicans. He charged that
Senator Clarke had violated caucus
pledge charge which the Arkansas
senator denied in a vigorous speech.
Senator Camden also replied. declar-
ing he was willing to let his consti-
tuents pass upon his record and add
ing that a denunciation Of secrecy
came with all grace from the Sena-
tor from Missouri, who is known the
world over as 'Gumshoe Bill y
Democrats Hunt Votes
While Senator Stone was speaking.
Senators Kern, Simmons, Fletcher,
Martin and others were working II
prevent vote being taken until some
absent Democrats could return to
Washington or until assurances of
enough Progressive-Republ votes
could be secured to insure temporary
victory.
In their estimate of the situation to-
night the Democrats were counting
upon Senator Norris to vote for their
amendment to the re-commitment mo-
ton. Senator Kenyon whose support
they had hoped for, will not be with
them, nor will any of the seven insur-
gent Democrats.
LaFoiIette With Democrats
Senator La Toilette is regarded as
certain, however, to vote with the
Democratic majority. Tomorrow, Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois,
who has been absent because of ILL
ness, and Senator Smith of South
Carolina, may return. With these
votes the leaders hope the bill may be
re-commitied, with instructions for its
return within AZ hours with amend
ments to limit to one year the term
for which the government under the
proposed law might lease ships to pri-
vate corporations and to prohibit pur-
chase of ships which might menace
the neutrality Of the country. Repub-
Ncan senators admitted tonight that
Senator Norris might vote for re-
commitment with instructions but
they agreed to an adjournment with
ont attempting to force night SEES
sion, hopeful that Senator Penrose
might be able to reach Washington
tomorrow to add one more to their
their side of the vote. With Senator
Penrose here they felt confident that
they could recommit the bill without
instructions.
Republicans Confident
In any event the Republican leaders
insist that the bill cannot receive a
vote at this session. Should the effort
to amend the bill and return it within
As hours succeed, they declare, the
Republican attack will be resumed
and kept upsuntil the measure either
is withdrawn or is killed by the adj
journment of Congress, March 4.
1--WE are through caucusing," said
Mr.. Kern, the majority leader tonight,
land expect to make progress tomor-
row. The shipping bill is not dead by
any means.

so that it shall read as follows:
Voted: That the Messenger to the
Governor and Council be directed to no
tify the parties doing the printing and
binding for the Legislature under con-
tract with the State that no claims for

which such claims are made falls within
the rules of the contracts existing be-
tween the State and theA w'1ter and
binder. as such, Contracts construed
and understood by the Governor and
Council
]. c. SCATES.
What is the result? There isn't any!
The work of the legislature will so
on again as smoothly as before and
without regard TO the threatened
great unpleasantness growing out Of
this printing controversy except that
there may De some rancor left in the
quarters where the heat was greatest.
House Proceedings.
The Senate order relating to legis-
lative printing sent down for concur
renee was the object of attention in
the House for a few minutes Wednes-
day morning. Clifford of Lewiston,
when the order was presented moved
that it be tabled, and upon call of
Wescott Of Blue Hill who declared
that such action would only result in
delay the yea and nay vote was taken.
The yeas, to table. lost to the nays,
not TO table, by 90 to 20 votes.
Thombs Of Lincoln, thereupon moved
that the House concur in the passage
of the order and the Democratic cap
tain from Houlton, Representative
Pierce Immediately launched forth
upon denunciation Of the Senate
order urging again and again that
the order could serve no useful pur-
pose" He read the order in sec
tons and explained as he read how
each section failed of a useful pur-
pose" and that. though as a declar-
alton of rights parts of it were ad-
Missile by the House, the vote to
concur in the passage Of the order
could serve no usefu! purpose" since
the disagreement had been straight
ened out by the attorney general and
passage of the order would not aid
anyone except the President Of the
Senate in an alteration he saw fit
TO press.
Upon motion of Edwards of Bethel,
to reconsider the vote whereby the
motion to table the order was lost,
Thomhs Of Lincoln having called for
the yeas and nays. a second roll call
was had to decide whether or not the
order should be tabled and the yeas

Swift act provides compensation for
permanent elsa bility Of Sc - per
cent the wage for 30 weeks and 90 10
per cent. Of the wage, with d minimum
of s. and a maximum of s.. indefinite
iy thereafter; whereas the Cole act
provides 81 per cent the wage for 800
weeks ana nothing thereafter. which.
Mr.. Boyle argued, is not compensation
derived from added cost TO produc-
tiun but only a senblance of such.
In Massachusetts. ne said, the per-
centage of compensation has recently
been raised from 80 per cent. TO sc 2-3
per cent. and the insurance companies
have not raised their rates one cent.
He called attention to the fact that
the Cole act would administer the new
law through the courts, whereas one
purpose Of the law is to keep COM
pensation decisions out CT the courts
thereby insurirg greater eXpcdiency
and unloading from the courts an I'M
necessary burden they now carry. The
Swift act creates a board to admin
lister the law which decides all ques-
lions of fact and goes 10 court only
on questions of law. Finally he pied
for the Swift act as a true compen-
sa ton act as against a perfunctory
substitute for il offered in the Cole
act.
Summing up the case for the Swift
act Mr.. Deasy remarked that the Cole
bill permits employers who have
proved themselves solvent to be self
insurable while the Swift act does not
permit such insurance but requires a
definite and fixed insurance for Eli
classes Of employers. Mr.. Deasy, for
the principle Of worhmens compensa :
ton said that no occupation in Maine
would be seriously affected by the
operation of a workmea's conpensa-
ton law except the law profession. and
vet lawyers almost unanimously ia
vored the law.

Appeal by Van
Horn to Embassy
AT Washington

Van Horn gave to the press
the following copy of a tele-
gram which was despatched
to the German embassy at
Washington this afternoon:
"a was arrested here for blowing
up Canadian end Of bridge at
Vanceboro between Maine and Can.
ada. ! am held here by the attor-
ney general Of Maine at the request

"Vsnoeboro, Feb. g."
The prisoner signed his message
werner Horn" instead of with the
name Werner Van Horn, by which
he had been known here. His
statement that he had not been on
Canadian soil is in contradiction
to earlier statements.

States Mine Workers Of America, from

dav told the Federal Commission on In
dustrial Relations that the reason the

labor was because they realized that the
unions would force them to obey the
mining laws which, he said, they had re-
peatedly violated.

Before Commissioner

Secretary Bryan referred the communi-
cation to the solicitor of the department
for examination as to its form. If the
application is found to be regular, Van
Horn will be orderer before a United
States commissioner nearest to Vancebo-
70, where he is now under detention, and
the Canadian authorities will be allowed
the privilege of appearing by counsel to
make out prima facie case sufficient to
justify the demand for the surrender of
the prisoner.

Machinery Automatic

The machinery in such cases up to a
certain point works almost automatically,
and there will be little for the state de-
partment to do involving the exercise OF
any discretion until the commissioner
has passed upon the case. Should he
decide that there is no case against Van
Horn, the prisoner may be discharged
without further proceedings. If he holds
the man for extradition, then it is COM
petent for Van Horn or his friends to
take an appeal to the state department
and resist the execution of the commits
sioner's order. 1t is even possible in ex-
IRENE cases for the United States courts
to be invoked in the prisoners behalf.
though this is a rare occurrence.
Van Horns Telegram
Van Horn already has indicated his
purpose Of fighting extradition. In a
telegram today he appealed TO the Ger
man ambassador to look after his inter
ests, declaring he was a German subject
and did not put foot on Canadian soil .
The last statement was taken here TO
indicate a purpose on the part of the
prisoner to make the technical point that
though he was on the bridge he did not
actually stand on Canadian soil AS the
divisional line or boundary between the
United States and Canada follows the
middle line of the st. Croix river, and the
piers of the bridge rest on Canadian soil
at the end where Van Horn is said to
have placed his charge of dynamite, the
officials here attach no Importance to this
plea.
The German embassy was much in
terested in the case, but delayed pas
sing upon Van Horns request pending
a report on his citizenship from the
German onsul-general in New York.
State Dept Silent
Officials Of the state department at
this stage positively decline to ex-
press any opinion publicly in regard
to the sI1ficiency Of Van Horns con-
tention that his offence was "politi-
CAL" that it was an act of war d.
rected against his country's enemy,
