FEDERAL TROOPS ARE ARRIVING Prospect of Indefinite Peace Betwecn ‘Warring Factions Illumines Horizon | —Gov. Ammons Announces His Plan of Action. Denver, Col., April 29.—Violence in the strike zones of Colorado came fo an enad shortly after midnight when a downpour of rain drove to cover striking miners who were attacking the Walsen mine. near Walsenburg, the only point in Colorado where ac- tual violence obtained, and today dawned with the prospect of indefi- nite peace between the warring in- dustrial factions. Federal troops from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, arrived in Colorado early today and troops from Fort Leavenworth, Kan- sas, were expected to reach the state before night. The soldiers = from ‘Wyoming went to Canon City, and those from Ka‘nsa.s probably will go to Trinidad. The situation in the northern dis- trict became quiet yesterday when the strikers ran out of ammunition and “their supply could not be replenished, and upon the arrival of the state troops there. <Officials Are Confident. In official circles here and among - the union leaders there was ex- pression of confidence in the federal troops to control the situation. Gov- ernor Ammons, however, reiterated his determination not to withdraw any of the state troops from 'locali- ties which will not be amply pre- tected by the federal soldiers. President Wilson’s proclamation vesterday by virtue of which the fed- eral troops were ordered into 'Col- orado, gives the strikers, “gunmen,” and others until tomorrow to return to their various abodes peacefully and to cease all acts of lawlessness. From that moment until further orders come from the president of the United States all violators of law and order must answer to the federal govern- ment. situation ¥$ Quiet, In Trinidad the situation today was aufet: 4 Y ; ‘In the northern section of the state the strikers do not know whether to expect the federal troops, and the| fact that they are to be held in check | by the state troops for an l%efinlte period gave rise today to muth anx- lety lest another outbreak occur there at any time. Governor Ammons expressed great relief upon the arrival of the federal stroops. % Party leaders conferred here today relative to the organization of the special session of the legislature which convenes May 4 to act upon the strike situation, its control and remedy. Governor Announces Plan. Governor Ammons announced his plan of action to be followed upon the'arrival of the federal troops to- Jcay. “"I will recall all state troops from the localities which are occupied by federal soldiers,” he said “but the state troops will remain in those dis- tricts which would be otherwise un- protected. It does not seem that there will be enough of the federal - troops to station them at every point ‘where lawlessness and rioting have been- acute. They would have to be in Ludlow, Aguilar, Trinidad, Walsenburg, Canon Oity, Louigville, Lafayette and at other mine camps near fhese towns. “I do not believe the president's telegram to me, concerning the with- drawal of state troops means that | the president expects us to leave any portion unprotected, and I so advised ‘him' by telegraph. and T have arranged for the recall of state troops now at Canon City and at Ludlow, just as soon as the ederal troops arrive, but the troopers at the other points will remain in the field until they are actually sup- planted by the regulars.” More Deaths Reported. Forbes, Col, April 29.—Seven men lie dead in the Forbes camp of the # Recky Mountain Fuel company. Most of the mine buildings are in ashes, Nine defenders are missing but are be- lieved to have reached thte Majestic mine; three strikers are thought to have been killed in the latest outbreak in the Colorado labor war.

Washington, April 29.__An armistice in the difficulties between the United States and Mexico has been asked ot this government and General Huerta by the South American envoys who have undertaken to avert war through mediation. Ambassador Da Gama, of Brazil, today notifled - Secretary Brysn that this had been determined upon as the next step in the nego- tiations and that General Huerta also had been notified. The proposal for an armistice was communicated to President Wilson from ‘the state department by tele- phone. Though no announcement has been made, it was authoritatively learned that this government would accept the conditions provided assur- ances are given that, in addition to a halt in military' operations, there would be no civil uprisings against American citizens or other “un- toward” incidents which might prevent peace. Officials here also believed that Huerta would accept the pro- posal. Parties Are Notified. After an hour's conference today the mediation envoys, Mr. Da Gama, Mr. Naon of Argentina and Mr. Suarez of Chile, determined that fur- ther negotiations necessarily —must proceed without warlike interference, and Ambassador Da Gama went to the state department to acquaint Sec- retary Bryan of the course thus far taken in the peace plans. The Bra- zillan minister in Mexico City also was notified and he communicated the information to General Huerta. The communication .addressed to both governments by the mediation envoys formally requests each gov- ernment to declare an armistice. The proposal for an armistice, it was also learned, does not include any refer- ence to the constitutionalists in Mex- ico, the United States and Huerta merely being called upon to cease ac- tive operations pending further medi- ation proposals. Consideration of tionalists’ position, it was | said, probably would be fivélv&dw?ig the next step to bé taken after an armistice had been agreed to by the principals ta the - present. ' difficuls tles. Under the armistice, in accordance with international proceedings, nei- ther the Huerta government nor the United States would pause in prepar- ations for war. Plans for possible conflict would proceed, but the armis- tice would prohibit actual hostilities in the field and any extension of mil- itary movement by either side. In Mexico people would be permitted to go where they pleased unmolested. It would simply establish a truce. Keen Interest Expressed. Officials expressed keen interest in unofficial reports from Berlin that the mediators had asked European powers to use influence on President Wilson that would prevent this government making conditions of settlement as mediation progresses which would make impossible the success of the effort to bring about peace. At the state department it was stated that nothing was known of this action on the part of the envoys. Following his visit to Secretary Bryan, Ambassador Da Gama, returned to the Argentine legation, where the envoys resumed their conferences. Mediators Are Silent. When the mediators adjourn for their mid-day recess, they would not discuss th earmistice, asserting that no statement could yet be made by them. They denied knowledge of the report from Berlin that the three mediatory powars were urging European powers to use their influence on President Wilson to have him agree to terms which might make settlement easy. "They said. the report had *“No more truth in it than many other specula- tive reports of their plaps.” Plans Being Considered. The army and navy today continued consideration of plans to meet any eventualities, but iInterest in their niovements was overshadowed by that evidenced in the work of the represen- jtatives of the South American repub- lic. A report today that Carranza and Villa, the constitutionalist leaders, had agreed to remain neutral in dealings between Huerta and the American government ‘‘so long as there was no invasion of their territory,” was an en- couraging development. Consul Schmutz Released. News that American Consul Schmutz {and 110 other Americans who had | been detained at Aguas Calientes by federal soldiers had been released and were safe in Mexico City on their way to Vera Cruz was a relieving feature of a tense situation created by pre- vious reports that citizens of the Unit- ed States had been subjected to per- secution. Refugees continued to ar- rive at Vera Cruz from the Huerta capital and special trains today were to pick up additional foreigners be- Juily nomination, spent $63.79, accord- “og to his statement, tween Mexico City and the coast. The transport Hancock was sent from Vera SOUTH AMERICAN ENVOYS Believed United States and Huerta Will Proposal Cruz to Puerto Mexico, to take away refugees arriving from’the interior by the Tehauntepec railroad. Reports at the navy department to- day stated that Charles F. Simmons had been in Mexico City March 18, when he said he intended to sail for the United States early in April. That was the last information concerning the movements of Simmons or his as- sociates. A radiogram from the steam- er Oregonian off Key West, last night, stated that she had on board twenty- three Americans and eight European refugees. All were reported well. ‘“Will pro- ceed to Delaware Breakwater unless receive other orders,”” was the message from the Oregonian’s captain. Supplemental reports from Rear Admiral Badger today stated that wounded American marines and blue- jackets on the hospital ship Solace continued to gain, and that critical cases appeared hopeful, “Each day,” the report stated, “it begins to look as if we would not lose a case.” & Admiral Badger added that the wounded on the New Hampshire, Flor- ida, South Carolina and Chester were all doing well. Rebel Attack Continues. News of the continued constitution- alist attack on Tampico was received at the navy department. Rear Admiral Mayo stated, however, that there did not seem to be any serious attempt to take the city. He said the number cf constitutionalists around was small £nd that they did not have any artil- lery, Admiral Mayo has arranged for the 120 American refugees now at Cervantes to work their way down the river to La Barra, where they will find a haven on the United States war vessels. The ‘superdreadnoughts New York, flagship of the new special service squadron, took on coal at Hampton Poads yesterday and resumed her run for Mexican waters today. She car- ried some marines. Anxiety Is Relieved. Vera Cruz, April 29.—Anxiety in Vera Cruz as to friends and relatives in the interior has been greatly re- lieved by the occurrences of yester- day which show that the Mexican authorities are permitting Americans to come down to the coast. Toddy the American colony here, which is growing steadily, settled ..dgwmi/to imews from Puerto. Mexico . of the arrival of three train loads of re- fugees from Mexico which the Huerta officials promised Commander Twee- die of the British cruiser Essex would be despatched from the capital last night. The route from the capital to Puerto Mexico is long and round- about, and it is not expected that the trains will reach the coast before next Friday. Rear Admiral Badger will have a vessel at Puerto Mexico to meet the refugees. He probably will not send a warship, as this can feeling in a town which up to the present time has been quiet. If the refugee trains are filled to .ca- pacity, as they probably will be, it is estimated that 800 people will be conveyed to Puerto Mexico. It is im- possible in Vera Cruz to determine how many Americans this would leave in the capital. William W. Can- ada, the American consul here, is en- deavoring to obtain information along this line from the Brazilian minister jat Mexico City, to whom the affairs iof the United States were entrusted when Charge d’Affaires O'Shaughnes- sy left. Still Awalting Orders. Mr. O'Shaughnessy and Arnold Shanklin, the American consul gen- eral at Mexico City, who came out with him, are still here awaiting or- ders. So far as is known they have been given no intimation as to their probable instructions from Washing- ton. . The release by General Gustavo Maas, the federal commander out- side of Vera Cruz, of the hundred re- fugees who were brought in from Soledad yesterday by Commander Tweedie clears the territory between Vera Cruz and Mexfco City, on the direct line of communication of all Americans with the exception of a |few scattered families whose where- jabouts are not known. Some may have made their way to. the capital; others to coast ports, and some are supposed to be in hiding with friend- 1y Mexican ranchers. Consul Canada's office is flooded with cablegrams inquiring for the safety of this or that person, As fast as the names of those who reach the coast and start for Galveston are received they are cabled to the stato department at Washington. Praise Commander Tweedie. The Soledad refugees are enthusi- astic in praise of Commander Tweedie, whose determined stand, they believe, alone saved them frgm probable ,denth or at least prolonged suffering. On being released from the peniten- tlary at Soledad, where they had been confined as a protection against the mob, the refugees were taken to the railroad track and handed over to a Mexican major, who had no instruc- tions as to what to do with them.

April 29.—The Japa- government, it has developed, was asked and declined to act for| the Huerta administration through its diplomatic representatives in Wash- ington and its consuls in the United States prior to Mexico’s application to Spain to perform this mission, which . Washington, nese was accepted. While the Japanese embassy de- clines to confirm the report, it is known to be well founded, and to have.given great satisfaction to Pres- ident Wilson’s administration as a significant expression of Japan's good will and friendliness towards this country. The purpose of Japan's action is un- derstood to have been a desire to preserve the strictest neutrality be- | tween the United States and Mexico as outlined in the recent declaration in Tokio, of Count Okuma, the new Jap- anese premier. The undertaking on the part of Japan to act in the in- terest of either party was felt to be open to the construction of being an expression of favoritism, which it was desired to avold by an attitude of strict neutrality. Among those in- formed of Huerta's first choice of Ja- pan to represent Mexico in the United States, the move was construed as an attempt on his part to align one of the great world powers with his ad- ministration, and thus to accomplish a master stroke of diplomacy. WOULD RAISE $5,000 FOR NEW STEEL GRANDSTAND Members of Conn. Fair As- sociation Asked to Contrib- ute for Improvement. Letters from President Jarvis of the Connecticut Fair association of Berlin, suggesting that each of twen- ty-five members of the Connecticut Fair association of Berlin contribute two hundred dollars toward a sum for the erection of a new steel grand stand on the Southwest side of the Berlin, trotting park, are being re- ceived by some membe: or- ®anlzation. ' 1f - the’ x ets Wwith favor, the association will have $5,000 with which to pay for such a structure, which by the way is badly needed. 4 Directors of the organization are reticent about giving out any plans at this time, but an officer told a Her- ald representative this morning that the new stand, if built, would be ar- ranged so as to accommodate about 4,000 people. ' Undoubtedly, it will be of modern steel construction. Op- posite the grand stand, in the same relative position as in the past, the judge’s stand and vaudeville stage will be located, larger, however, than those structures which are used for the same purposes and now stand facing the northwest. In addition to these plans, there is some talk of constructing a building for the housing of machinery ex- hibits. A power plant would be in- stalled in the structure so that the machinery could be seen in opera- tion. Members of the association have been considering the proposed changes: for some time but definite steps have never been taken before. ‘With the present arrangement, those people who desire to reach the grand stand or exhibit buildings are obliged to make their way through the crowds that throng the midway that lines the path on both sides. Ac- cording to the new plan the midway will extend from the administration building in a direct line to the new grand stand, but the path will' be made considerably wider. All the ex- hibits will then be arranged, con- veniently along the northeast side of | the race track. The old wooden grand stand fur- nishes seating accommodations for about 1,600 people. It has stood on its present site for a number of years and is not considered entirely safe. WANTS REPORT ACCEPTED. Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper has made a motion with the court of common pleas to have accepted at the short calendar session on May 8 the report of Judge Walter H. Clark, a committee appointed by the com- mon pleas court, on the appeal of John E. Seibert from the award of damages of the board of compensa- tion and assessment on the Park street extension matter. The report favors the city.

REAPPOINTED FOR FOUR YEARS He Succeeded ex-Mayor Samuel Bas- sett When Latter Died—Has resented Fifth Ward as Councilman and Alderman. > Following out his campaign state- ment that no competent office holder Whose term expires this year should fear his election, Mayor George A. Quigley today re-appointed James J. Watson to the board of assessors for a term of four years. ‘The assessorship is one of the biggest plums at the disposal of the bresent administration, carrying with it a salary of $750 for work that may | be done without forcing the members of the board to neglect their own pri- vate business. The appointment has been a topic of considerable discussion in City hall circles and it is known that several candidates and their friends were working hard to land it. Among those who had been mentioned as possible selections were Frank M. Zimmerman, the insurance and auto- robile man, and William J. Long, a former assessor. Who would be appointed was a mat- ter of conjecture and no inkling of his leaning could be secured from the mayor. Considerable time is said to have been spent by Mayor Quigley in giving the appointment consideration, It is sald that he finally concluded that Mr. Watson's work as assessor was of a satisfactory nature and the appointment followed. Statement From Mayor. Speaking of Mr. Watson’s appoint- nient Mayor Quigley said to a Herald man: “I am living up to a statement I made in my campaign that no competent office holder, whether he be republican or democrat, need fear my election. I was elected on that stand and I mean to follow it out for the next two years at least. I consider the city govern- ment too important and the office of mayor too sacred to allow them to be used as political footballs. I am going to be mayor for the next two years and I don't intend to play politics.” Succeeded Ex-Mayor Bassett. The news of Mr. Watson's re- appointment will be pleasing to hun- dGreds of citizens who have met him either through his office or in a busi- ness way. It is believed that the selec- tion will be pleasing, also, to the other members of the board of assessors, Mr. Watson has been an assessor for two and one-half vears, being ap- pointed to fill out the unexpired term of ex-Mayor Samuel Bassett at the latter’s death. He is generally con- sidered competent and efficient. It is said that he would not have been re- appointed in the event of a demo- cratic victory although he is a demo- crat himself. Mr, Watson has served the fifth ward in the common coun- cil as' a ceuncilman and later as an | alderman. 1t is understood that Mayor Quigley has addressed letters to other can- didates for the assessorship explaining that he believes Mr. Watson to be a competent official and therefore eligible to remain in office. HIT WITH CUSPIDOR; IS SUING FOR $100 Domenico Bertaldi Claims Guiseppe Fushilli Assaulted Him—Giovanni Martinelli Also Has Grievance. To be struck on the head with a cuspidor, thrown at you by an angry companion, is most humiliating to say nothing of the physical pain caused j when sald missile lands against your cranium with a dull, sickening thud, and just because Guiseppi Fushilli heaped these indignities on the head of Domenico Bertaldo the Ilatter is suing his tormenter for damages of $100. The alleged assault took place on April 28, Bertaldo has retained Lawyer Joseph G. Woods to represent him be- fore the court and the writ is return- able before Justice F. B. Hungerford on May 7. Constable Fred Winkle served the papers. Anather disgruntled citizen of this city is Giovanni Martinelli, who also claims that on the eventful date of April 28 he was assaulted, but his aggressor was Frank Natale. He claims that Natale punched and choked him, inflicting injuries that it will take $100 to heal. That is the amount he is suing for through Lawyer Woods. Constable Winkle served the writ, which is also return- able before Justice Hungerford on May 7.

SCENE AT ROCKEFELLER'S OFFICES CAUSES ARRESTS Sinclair and Four Women Desire to Protest Against Colorado Strike. New York, April 29.—Upton Sin- clair, his wife and three women were arrested today after a demonstration in front of the offices of John D. Rockefeller jr., in the Standard Oil building: They had come to protest against the Colorado strike. A woman who described herself as Mrs. Belle N. Zilverman and a 80~ clalist invaded the outer offices of Mr. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil build- ing, and sought to interview him with reference to the coal miners' strike in Colorado. Mr. Rock- efeller's secretary told her | that he was busy, at a conference. The woman carried an American flag into the offices. She was joined on the sidewalk by Upton Sinclair, who wore a bit of crepe on his arm in pursuance of a plan announced at a socialist mass meeting last night, where it was agreed that ‘“mourners” should gather in front of the Stand- ard Oil building as a protest against the sacrifice of lives in Colorado. Mrs. Zilverman and Sinclair were the first to arrive on the scene. He did not attempt to enter the offices, but remained on the sidewalk. Mrs. Zilverman sought to place this message before Mr- Rockefeller: “I am an American citizen, standing at your door, waiting for just a word with you. Will you grant me this re- quest? My question will be brief and to the point.” The prisoners were taken to the .0ld . Slip police station where Mrs. Sinclair was réleased. The other women who were placed in cells sald they were Mrs. Elizabeth Free- man, an English suffragette who has once been in jail with Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst; Mrs. Margaret Remington Charter and Mrs. Donie Lietner.- All had been arrested on the sidewalk in front of 26 Broadway. “I wasn't doing a thing but walk- ing up and down in the street with a piece of crepe on my arm,” Sinclair. “A policeman stopped me and said that if I didn't stop walk- ing I would have to go along with him. T told the policemah I did not see any reason why I should stop walking and he promptly placed me and my associates under arrest. When Mrs, Zilverman left the of- fice she also was arrested. In addi- tion to an American flag she carried a large white flag with a black border and a red heart in the center. She said the flag meant that “the heart of the United States was against the workingman,” All the prisoners were charged with disorderly conduct. Mrs, Lietner said she was an artist and that her home was in Georgla. Upton Sinclair, adding to his pre- vious statement, sald: “We never should have been ar- rested. The people who. should be in our places are those at 26 Broad- way. I want to make this statement for my wife to read, I gave her in- structions to be arrested with the rest of us. A man should never be arrested without his wife.” ¢ F‘!GH'I’ AT UNION MEETING. A nolsy fracas occurred at last night’s meeting of the Mason Ten- ders’ union in Union hall on Main street.
