L VOLUME 12, NO, 8, JOHN D. SCORED BEFORE CONGRESS Representative Bryan, In Bold Ad- dress; Says Oil King is Responsible for Men and Women Being Shot ON AMERICAN SOIL. Charge O'Shaughnessy Ar rives at New Orieans. “VIOLATOR OF SHERMAN. LAW” Refers to Mine Guards as Being Gun- men and Thugs and Says Law Should Prohibit Such Crimes By Congressman C. H. Tavenner. ‘Washington, -May 6,—*“John D.

Wil- son, contained strong recommenda- tions for federal legislation prohib- iting the private employment of gun- men. There is such a bill in the Senate, introduced by Senator James Martine of New Jersey. Speaking of this measure, Senator artine said: “The employment of armed bodies of thugs and gunmen—private ar- mies in effect—by capitalist owners of the mines is the great evil of our day. In Colorado, even worse than in West Virginia and Michigan, these armed thugs have shot down like dogs men and women and chil- dren, until conditions in Colorado are even worse than the are today in Mexico. “My experience on the investigat- ing committee which went into West Virginia so increased me against the use of these gunmen, and I felt so rightly justified that upon my return I introduced into the Senate a biil previding that every individual, cor- poration, or body of men employing armed guards for private purposes|. should be liable to a fine of at least 5,000 and imprisonment for one R B :ear. ’Dh‘:zt bifl was referred to the |Much Improved in Health—Will Committee on Education and Labor,| Make Active Campaign for Register and there it seems to sleep the sleep } of the righteous and the fust, James O. Harris returned last even: : ing from Deming, New Mexico, where “If this bill had been reported and he has spent the last month on ac- count of his health, Mr. Harris says that he feels much better than when ‘he went away and will begin active campaign for the office of register of deeds, having recently filed. Mr. Harris was register of deeds in this county for four terms, being defeat- ed two years ago in a close fight, a contest resulting. He will be opposed at the primaries by William McCuaig and C. 0. Moon. Photo by American Press Assoclation. An attraction that promises to be of unusual interest to the threatre-goers of Bemidji and neighboring towns ‘will be that of the distinguished young artiste, May Stewart, and her excellent company at'the Athletic club theatre,~ Wednesday, May 13,' pre- senting Shakespeare’s great play “Romeo & Julie at special matinee and Victor Hugo’s powerful drama, “Lucrezia Borgia” at night. - Miss Stewart is a young woman who-has beén starring for the past few seasons through the South and East where she has been the - most successul Shakespearean star of the younger class, and so pronounced have been her successes that the cri- tics generally regard her as foremost of the younger class, and ‘the most promising legitimate actress of the English speaking stage. ‘The story of Lucerzia Borgia is one of obsorbing interest abounding in many thrilling and very intense dra- matic situations that can not fail to interest everybody and mone should fail to see it. No play affords the emotional act- ress a greater opportunity for dis- playing their dramatic power, and Miss Stewart will be seen to an un- usual advantage. It was in the play of Lucrezia Borgia that she was first brought into prominence and the role of Lucrezia has been one of her fa- vorites ever since. Both plays will be given under the auspices of the Athletic club. J. 0. HARRIS RETURNS passed, in my judgment the unfor- tunate conditions which have pre- vailed in Colorado could not have ex- isted. Those who have not been in close contact and seen and left the atmosphere that seems to be sur- charged with the evil of the employ- ment of these armed brutes can hard- ly appreciate the situation. In West Virginia for a time it deprived the people of the right of constitutional ‘government, and today in Colorado it hag done even worse. “The elimination of government by gunmen depends on the passage of some such list as I have proposed prohibiting private mine owners from enlisting in their service gun- men and thugs, calling them mine guards, and using them to beat up, terrorize, harass and murder strikers and their women and children.” Confer Third Degree.
