Jury Is Completed
For Trial Of Strikers

Trinidad, Colo, April 24.-With the
jury completed, Assistant Attorney
General Norton Montgomery today
made his opening statement in the tfia
of John r. Lawson, union leader of the
miners in the recent bloody coal strikes
of Colorado. Lawson is charged with
murder as the result Of the shooting OF
mine guard
Vigorously denouncing the labor
leader, Montgomery declared that
Lawson was in command of the miners
tent colony at Ludlow when strikers
killed the guard. He made no at
tempt to show that Lawson ever carried
a weapon, but indicated that the argu-
ment of the state would be that the
strike leader was responsible for the
acts Of his followers.
Greatest interest has been manifested
in the reply that Horace n Hawkins,
attorney for the defense, will make in
answer to this charge. Hawkins, how
ever, elected to postpone his opening
statement until the states evidence is
presented.
The testimony today was largely
technical, physicians testifying as to
the nature of the dead guards wounds.

POISONOUS SNAKES.

properties for an indefinite period. No
satisfactory chemical analysis has ever
been made of it. but it seems to be a

A curious discovery recently made is
itself poisonous. containing as it does
the principles that are concentrated in
the secretion of the venom glands.
Venomous snakes are themselves abb
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Mathematics
dosed by injection with large quanti-
ties of their own or other venom have
| shown not the slightest i'll effects. An
other remarkable fact is that serpent
venom is harmless to human beings or
other animals if taken internally. The
late DIR. S. Weir Mitchell found that
one-fOurth of a drop of rattlesnake
poison would kill a pigeon if given by
hypodermic injection, but a pigeon fed
with six drops a day for three success
sive days suffered not at all in conse-
quence.
Professor Mangili, a pioneer investi-
gator in this line, had an assistant
who boldly swallowed all the venom
hat could be extracted from four large
vipers. No bad effects followed. The
same negative result was noted by
Professor Baird, at that time secretary
of the Smithsonian institution, who ate
the venom glands OF a r~attlesnake. AS
recently ascertained, serpent venom in
such circumstances is harmless, be-
cause it cannot pass through the mu-
cous membrane that lines the stomach,
and it u%ndergoes changes during d.
gestion that allow it to enter the blood
as an i%nnocuous substance. = Every

TWO MINDS THAT DID AS ONE

When Or. Anna Shaw and Miss An
thony Lectured Together.
Writing Of her lectures for suffrage
with Susan B. Anthony, DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw a y in the Metropoli-
tan Magazine:
We travelled and lecthred together SO
constantly that each Of us developed
an almost uncanny knowledge Of the
others mental processes. At any point
Of either's lecture the other could pick
it up and carry 1t on-a fortunate con-
dttion, as it sometimes became neces-
subject to ~contractions Of the throat,
which for the moment caused a slight
strangulation. On such occasions-of
which there were several-she would
turn to me and indicate her helpless
ness. Then l would repeat her last
sentence, complete her speech and aft
erward make my own.
The first time this happened we were
in Washington, and Aunt Susan stop
ped In the middle Of a word. She could
not speak; she merely motioned to me
to continue for her and left the stage.
At the end Of the evening" prominent
washington man who had been in our
audience remarked to me cOnfiden-
tally:
THAT was a nice little play you and
Miss Anthony made tonight-yery eff
fective indeed"

knowing smile.

think it was a deliberate t~hing-that
we planned or rehearsed it,"
He stared at me i~ncredulously.
Are you going to pretend" he de-
manded, that it wasn't a put up job?"
l told him he had paid us a high
compliment and that we must really
have done very well If we had con-
veyed that impression, and l finally
convinced him that we not only had
not rehearsed the episode, but that
neither Of us had known what the 9TH
err meant to say. We never wrote out
our speeches, but our subject was al
ways suffrage or some r~amiication Of
suffrage, and naturally we had thor

LIFE ON A SUBMARINE.
There Are No Comforts, and Sleep Is

There Are No Comforts, and Sleep Is

Speaking of life on a submarine, one
of Uncle Sans naval officers stationed
on ont of these under sea terrors says:
Every minute the men are in the
submarine means the risk Of pneumo-
MIA and tuberculosis. The entire in
side Of the boat sweats like a pitcher
of ice water on a hot day. Before we
are OIL it three hours our clothes are
soaked and they stay that way. We
have absolutely no heat. which means
that tle boat Is the temperature of the
outside air. Sometimes wenearly
freeze. The DOCTORS say that the men
on a submarine neve sleep; they
merely become unconscious for brief
intervals. The air. the odors from the
machinery. the constant vibration and
the intense strain under which you Ia
Dor make sleep an impossibility.
I'm a storm. when we hav to seal
up, the air gets worse than anything
you can imagine. There are eighteen
men and two officers in one Of our
boats, and at any moment any M of
the twenty may cause the death of all
the rest. There is no room for mis-
takes. The space in which the men
live is fifty feet long and about ten
feet wide. l can stand upright If /
pick my place. but most of the time
my shoulders are bent. There are no
hunks: we all spread our mattresses
on an iron deck. The dining room con-
sists of four electric hot plates. Moth
ing In the nature of a spark is allowed
below decks. but we can heat up cof-
fee on the hot plates and occasionally
fry things. We can't sn 'le. and the
vibration Of the engines makes it i'm
possible to read or even play cards. so
when we are not working there's moth
ing for us to do but sit on the floor
and look at each other."-Pittsburgh
