WOULD IMPEACH " THE GOVERNOR Plan of Certain Members of Colorado Legislature. SPECIAL SESSION OPENS Prolonged Strike of Miners and Ac- companying Bloodshed to Be Thor- oughly Discussed and Remedial Leg- islation May Be Enacted. Denver, May 5.—To pay the price for seven months’ strike and civil war in Southern Colorado the state legis- lature met here in special session in Tesponse to the call of Governor E. M. Ammons. . The purpose of the session as speci- fled in the call is the appropriation of funds for the maintaining of state troops in the field and to pass other laws suggested by the strike. But these will probably be overshadowed by a plan to impeach the governor. With the impeachment matter out of the road it is probable bills pro- viding for compulsory arbitration, es- tablishment of a permanent constabu- lary and regulation of the national guard in case of strikes will be intro- duced. There will be bitter opposition to the constabulary idea as discriminat- ing against union men. John P. White, John R. Lawson, + John McLennan, Edward Doyle, Frank Hayes and other district and interna- tional leaders of the United Mine ‘Workers of America have been threat- ened by attorneys for the mine owners with arrest on charges of murder or conspiracy to murder in connection with last week’s battle at Forbes, when seven mine guards were slain, and the battle of Walsenburg, which cost the lives of Major P. H. Lester of the hospital corps and two strikers. The union leaders say they do not fear any such prosecutions, however. It is reported that Judge Horace Hawkins, attorney for the miners, will bring charges against John D. Rocke- feller, Jr, in connection with the “massacre of Ludlow,” if any of the union men are accused. 100 BODIES ARE RECOVERED Foul Air Hampers Work of Eccles Rescuers, Eccles, W. Va.,, May 5.—Foul afr in the galleries hampered the work of removing bodies from mine No. 5 of the New River Collieries company, but 100 dead have been brought to the top of the shaft. Other victims of last Tuesday’s ex- plosion were in sight and rescuers hoped to have the mine clear of dead within twenty-four hours. TO SAVE HIM FROM CONSTITUTIONALISTS| Huerta Plans to Draw American T_mops to Mexico. Vera Cruz, May 5.—The determina- tion of Dictator Huerta to draw the American forces into Mexico City to save him from the rebels was respon- sible for the demand made Saturday for the surrender of the waterworks outside Vera Cruz. Reports have reached here that General Maas is preparing to attack the American troops here with a force of 12,000 men. This is a further indi- cation of .the step decided upon by Huerta. Insiders know that the delay of the Americans in starting toward the cap- ital has greatly embarrassed Huerta. Having failed to reunite Mexico he is playing his next cards towards get- ting American protection against de- struction at the hands of the rebels. It was the hope of the dictator that demand for the surrender of the wa- terworks Saturday would provoke an engagement. ; ol vl cle bk b b ke sl o ek R bk b % MILITANT RUINS SARGENT PAINTING. London, May 5.—A militant suffragette threw a hammer at Sargent’s portrait of Henry James in the Royal academy here, breaking the glass and tearing the canvas. She was overpowered by attendants and arrested. Ll e o T T R IRON ORE PRICE IS CuT Buyers Reduce Offer 60 Per Cent, or Back to 1912 Figures. Duluth, May 5.—A 60sper cent cut, back to the 1912 basis paid for crude Lake Superior iron ore, was an- nounced here following word received from the East that the manufacturing interests had made that rate. This means that crude iron ore will bring $2.80 a ton, and as the ore costs the company $2.50 a ton f. o.b. Daluth, but 30 cents profit remains to the pro- ducer. No official statement was made, but it was believed here that a lack of orders for both raw and fin- ished product governed the action. FIFTY PEOPLE DIE IN FIRE Blaze in Commercial Section of Val- paraiso, Chile. Valparaiso, Chile, May 5.—More than fifty lives were lost in a fire in the commercial section of this city. Several buildings were destroyed. Their flimsy construction made -the efforts of the fire fighaters virtually. useless. NOT T0 BE CAUGHT NAPPING Funston’s Forces at \lera Gruz Ready for Action. HUERTA LOSING POWER Reported That Some of ‘His Own Sup- porters Are Urging That He Resign, to Be Succeded by Minister of War - Blanquet.. ‘Washington, May 5.—While the me- diation conferences were in progress, Secretary of War Garrison discussed the situation at Vera Cruz with.de- partment heads. . The secretary said that no late reports had been received from General Funston and no more troops had been ordered to reinforce the Americans now at the base of this government’s Mexican operationa. It was reported, however, that plans. were in readiness for immediate ac- tion should there arise any hostile move on the part of the Huerta forces in the ‘vicinity of Vera Cruz. Although officials here are going on the assumption that Huerta's soldiers will respect the armistice pending me- diation developments assurances are given that this government would not be caught napping should there be any break, authorized or unauthorized, on the part of the Huerta troops. Reflecting some credence to state- ments made by Mexico City refugees at Vera Cruz and the border that Gen. oral Huerta was in desperate straits and that some of his own supporters were considering making a demand that he resign, to be succeeded by Minister of War Blanquet, messages have been received here in diplomatic circles to the effect that Huerta’s strength was rapidly waning. RUSH TO JOIN THE NAVY Recruiting Stations Report tion of Enlistments. ‘Washington, May 5.—Although ‘the president has issued no call to colors enlistment in the navy appears to be all the rage among the youth of the republic. % Nearly_ all the recruiting stations in the country have reported an in- undation of enlistments. The rate has jumped from 1,800 to more than 7,000 a month. The department al- ready has in sight enough recruits to make up the deficiency of 10,000 in the number required to man adequate- ly every ship in the navy. The jackies of the American navy, according to international. experts Wwho have submitted reports to the de- partment, are the best marksmen and the most efficient body of men :gener- ally in the service of any power.

Flva Tmmsand Mexlcans He- El Paso, Tex., May 5—Under heavy military guard 5,500 Mexican federals, Wwith their wives and children, began entraining for Fort Wingate at Fort Bliss, where they:-have been detained since they fled from the rebels at the “battle of Ojinaja. Elaborate preparations Wwere made to block any attempt at escape. ‘With the. 'first detachment ~went General Francisco Castro, one of the principal federal leaders.

Cable ad- vices to this effect have been received by Dr. Carlos M. de Pina, the Uru- guayan minigter here, from his gov- .ernment. The demonstrators, accord- ing to- Mr. de Pina, were a small crowd of excited young men. WORST IN CITY 3 HISTOR.
