LIST OF VICTIMS IS TWENTY-SIX Women and Children Among Dead in Colorado Battle. l’ —_—— el FIGHTING MAY BE RENEWED| Telephone Lineman Finds Bodies of Two Women and Eleven Children Suffocated in Rude Cave Where They Had Taken Refuge From the Rifle and Machine Gun Fire of the Militia. Trinidad, Colo., April 22.—With twenty-six men, women and children known dead and a possibility that the list, of victims of the Ludlow tent colony battle between state troops and coal miners will be increased to |- fifty the strike zone needed only the slightest pretext to remew on a larger scale than ever its tale of tragedy and bloodshed. Three hundred fully armed strikers marched from ‘Fremont county tent colonies to Ludlow to aid their com- rades in opposing the militia. Men of the Lyden colony near Den- ver are preparing to cast their lot with the 600 or more strikers now en- trenched at Ludlow. Buried under a pile of smouldering bedding the bodies of eleven children and two women were discovered by a telephone lineman. The bodies were lying in a rude cave, the entrance of which was hidden under a bed. When the burning bed fell over the opening the women and children were suffocated. Girl Tightly Clasps Doll. Tightly clasped in the arms of a lit- tle girl was a big doll and two of the children were wrapped in each oth- er’s arms. No one professes to know how many more will be found. The thir- teen hid themselves to escape the rifile and machine gun fire that raled the tent on Monday. Dr. E. M. Curray of Hastings, who visited the colony, says at least fif- teen bodies more are in the trenches. Among those reported missing are four women and thirteen children who are believed to have died as did the thirteen. “It is horrible,” said John McLen- nan, president of district'No. 15 Unit- ed Mine Workers of America, in charge of local headquarters. ‘They were caught like rats in a trap.” Undertakers from here who left for Ludlow turned back when warned that there was danger of an out- break. Both Sides Fear Attack. The armed strikers are entrenched in the hills north and east of the ruins of the tents. Two hundred militants under Major Hamrock are stationed in and about Ludlow.

REFUSES SPECIAL SESSION Wisconsin Governor Says No Real Demand Exists. Madison, Wis., April 22.—Governor McGovern will not call a special ses- sion of the legislature to reduce the tax burden. In declining to do so he made a caustic attack on other Re- publican state officers who recently petitioned for it. Little popular demand for the spe- cial session exists, he says. Accord- «ing to the governor less than 40 per cent of the townships to which the question was submitted at the April elections voted for it and less than one-fourth of the members of the legislature even replied to the inqui- ries regarding it. Furthermore more than 60 per cent of the towns voted large highway appropriations as usual showing where they stood on the question of the reduction of the, high- way fund which was to have been one of the purposes of the extra ses- , sion of the legislature if it had been called.

ANNOUNGE LOYALTY T0 UNITED STATES El Paso Maxicans Offer Their ~ Services for War., El Paso, Tex., April 22.—The busi- nesslike expedition with which the Americans took Vera Cruz, the gate- way to the capital .of their country, was a severe blow to the pride of Mexicans in this city, their dejection showing plainly in their faces. In the offices of the rebel junta of- ficials declined to accept the official statement from Washington that the big Mexican seaport had been evacu- ated until bulletin after bulletin final- ly drove the truth bome. Two hundred Mexican Americans who organized a military company a year ago met and voted to offer their services to the city in case of need yand to the® national government in case of war with Mexico. J. A. Escajeda, clerk of the district court is at the head of the organiza- tion. He declared that Mexican Americans are as loyal to the Stars and Stripes as any other citizens! FORCE MEXICAI\S TO SALUTE Topeka School Boys Lead Patriotic Demonstration. Topeka, Kan., April 22.—Five hun- dred school boys who deserted their class rooms to parade through the streets headed by an American flag and a fife and drum corps forced a dozen track laborers, evidently Mexi- cans, to salute Old Glory. More than 100 school girls, who fol- lowed a few blocks behind the boys in a parade of their own, cheered while the salute was delivered. Yells of “War, war,” and roars of “Down with Huerta” and the frequent call of “On to Mexico” drowned out the fife and drum entirely. .| FEAR BORDER . UPRISING Citizens of Pearce and Gleason, Ariz., Send for Help. Bisbee, Ariz., April 22.—Alarmed by zens of Pearce and Gleason, Ariz., telegraphed to Sheriff Wheeler here to send men to aid in watching the Mexicans who are said to be arming heavily. The townspeople also have joined in the request of the citizens of Will- cox for permission to form a militia company. Mexicans largely predominate in the population of both Pearce and Glea- son.

One of the surprises of the election was the carrying of Sis- seton by the dry forces. A muncipal saloon had been in existence there since July 1 last year and had been profitable. cease business July 1. .One of the closest elections was at Colman, which went dry by one ma- jority. At Canistota the drys had only four votes to the good. After a hot fight Madison went wet by two majority.
