DENVER, Colo, Dec. 1S.-A free
speech test meeting, planned at the
Leyden coal camp, in Colorado, FRI
day, was absolutely forbidden by OF
ficers of the state militia who have
abrogated civil rights in that section.
according to a message received by
the American Civil Liberties Union
from George L. Collins, its special
representative in the Colorado strike
area.
in addition to entering homes and
searching them and arresting the in
haoltants without warrant, and hold

troops are assisting in the eviction of
miners families from their homes

CHARGES FLYING
THICK AGAINST
KHAN GOVERNOR
Stage Set for Ousting
Oklahoma Executive

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Dec. IL.
The militia companies packed in the
state capital building by Governor
Henry S. Johnston to keep the legis-
lature from assembling and conduct
ing impeachment proceedings against
him in the ordinary manner had little
to do over the week end. But angry
buzzing groups of legislators con-
tinued to meet here and there in hotel
rooms. The state senate sticks to its
declaration made last Friday that it
will try the governor on the six
charges already voted against him by
the lower house, secretly meeting IN
downtown hotel, just before dawn,
and any additional charges they may
agree upon. The charges involve
graft, incompetence, and appointment
to office of felons.
More Charges Coming.
Additional charges are coming IN
thickly. The latest centers around the
woman whose strange relations and
equally peculiar influence on the gov
ernor have created wave of scandal
talk and brought an accusation
against him of moral turpitude. line
Female Rasputin" the anti-governor
legislators call her. Her name is Mrs.
o. o. Hammonds. Her husband has
been made state health commissioner
by Governor Johnston, but that IS
mere detail. Mrs. Hammond is
mystic, self styled seer" an adapt
and believer in Yogi magic, and said
to belong to the secret and occult or
der of Rosicrucians. The legislators
charge that since making her his pri-
vate secretary, soon after taking Of
flee, Governor Johnston hos never
made an important move without con-
..lltinc Mrs. Hamr ono, ard has de-
ferred, al her advise, important ard
necessary action ba'ause "the stars
showed malificient influences at
work." or "the winds came from q
diabolical direction" Governor John
ston, It n.ay be added, was elected or
Xu klux Khan ticket, and seems 10

years" rather literally.
The accusation of moral turpl
tude" is agreed upon by the House
committee on impeachment charges,
and is based on testimony of w. M.
Franklin, former friend Of Governor
Johnston's, who told of visit to the
governors hotel rooms, made in the
small hours of the morning by Mrs.
Hammond.
The governor SCOTS at the "moral
turpitude" charge, and states that
Franklin is inspired by desire for
political advantage. But the COVER
nor keeps the legislature from regu-
larly considering any of these charges
against him. When they try to meet
in their chambers, they face the rifles
and bayonets of the state militia, over
which the governor appoints the Of
ficers.
The state supreme court is also
calling witnesses to consider making
permanent an injunction requested by
the governor, an injunction against
any impeachment of himself.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 49,

But if they stay out of the coal
mines, neither the militia, the indus
trial commission nor the newspapers
millionaire owners will dig any coal,
the l. w. w. leaders are telling the
miners.
The miners have stayed out of the
mines and it is only coal shipped in
from Wyoming and Utah that keeps
Colorado from severe suffering dur
ing these winter days. And the
miners in those fields are reported
restless at the idea they are scabbing
on the greatest fight the Colorado
miners ever made.
The greatest problem in the strike
is the fact that Colorado is isolated
from the sources of financial support
for so great strike and keeping up
even a beggarly relief fund is almost
an impossible task.
