Secretary Garrison’s proclamation, rddressed to Major Holbrook at Trin- idad, is in the most aweeping terms and demands the disarming of not only strikers but of the mine guards. | Caused By Reports. Secretary Garrison’s determination to issue the proclamation Was reached upon reports from Major Holbrook at Trinidad. It was pointed out that in directing the surrender of arms to ~ the army commanders at the respec- () tive stations the government assumes all responsibility for the protection of property which individuals, associa- tions, firms and corporations hitherto have been guarding on their own account. Emphasis was laid upon the fact that the sweeping terms of the proclamation calling all “not in " military service of the United States” to surrender their arms ap- plies only to localities where the United States troops are present. As the troubled districts are widely scattered throughout . Colorado, . no- army officer will be in supreme com- mand of the military forces sent into the state. Secretary Garrison will Issue his orders directly to the ‘officers In command -of the forces in the va- “rious localities. ; Text of Proclamation, The text of the proclamation is: ‘“Whereas, under existing circum- stances the possession of arms and ammunition by persons not " in '‘the military service of theé’ Uni States tends to provoke disordei to ‘ex- cite domestic violende and hinders the restoration of normal. conditions of peace and good order, I do, by the authority of the president United States call upon and direct all persons not in the military service of the United States who have arms ! | POLICE BELIEVE THEY them | or ammunition in their possession or under their control, to deliver forthwith to the officer at the place herein designated. Receipts will be Issued for all arms and ammunition 50 delivered. The above applies to Individuals, firms, associations torporations.” The officer in command at each place where troops are stationed in tharge to post the proclamation. M v el .‘s ‘Welborn Issues Statement. Denver, Col, May 2.—The procla- ! 4+nation of Secretary Garrison calling on all persons in the strike district not in the military service of the United States to surrender their arms and ammunition elicited the follow- ing statement from J.. F. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel and Lron Co. “The order of Secretary Garrison to disarm both sldu suits the oper- ators perfectly.” E. L. Doyle, district secretary-trea- surer of the United Mine Workers, said: “We understand this order to mean that mine guards, detectives, militia and strikers are to be disarmed and Peace maintained by United States troops. This being the case, the mw trouble in the strike zone is at an end, but if the militia men are .to be allowed arms there is sure to be | trouble since a large percentage them are in‘the employment of coal companies.” of the MYSTERY IS UNSOLVED, The police have not as yet solved the mysterious assault on Kapo Ka- | barber at the corner of | shortly | borian, a East Main and Elm streets, ! after midnight yesterday morning in which, they believe, an attempt was made to end hig life. Marco Kam- begian, the suspect who was arrested, has been released, a technical charge of breach of the pegce having been aolled by Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett. Little evidence rould be secured against, Kambegian, Kaborian was struck twice with a baseball bat and the police believe ' his assailant meant to cut his throat with a twelve-inch carving knife that was found in the hallway of the barber’s home.

Marchers Assemble Early. The parade was scheduled to start at 8 o'clock. Long before that hour the marchers began to assemble in | the neighborhood of the capitol and | the state armory where the line'was formed. The line of march was from Capitol avenue, to Trinity street, to Ford, to High, to Main, dowh Main to Elm, to the park casino where a | mass meeting is to follow at 5 o'¢lock: It was a novel and picturesque hundreds of women dressed in white trudging sturdily along behind ban- ners which designated the or profession ‘to which they be- longed. Practically all of them wore caps and shirt gowns of varfegated colors similar to those worn in the big parade in Washington a year ago, presenting a kaleldoscopic cffect and they also ware arm re- galias, ranks. Yale, Wesleyan and,_ Trinity each contributed a good sized contin- gent of students who seemed to think it great fun, quent intervals in the procession rhade things lively. Quite a number of suffragists were mounted and the manner in which they handled their horses demonstrated that they were capable horsewomen. A company of bag-pipers in Highland costume added to the 'novelty. Another unique feature was a yoke of oxen drawing a decorated cart bearing the inscrip- tion: “Connecticut trying to catch up.” Divided Into Five Sections. The parade was divided into five sections, each being preceded by a herald carrying a banner announcing it. There were also numerous floats, ingeniously conceived and very attrac- tive. There were hundreds of ban- ners other than those borne by the heralds, one bearing the revolutionary legend “Taxation without representa- tion is tyranny,” and another, carried by forty young girls, inscribed: “Votes for Women,” The paraders were grouped accord- ing to occupation and these groups numbered nearly thirty, from doc- tors, lawyers and ministers down to cooks and laundresses. There were mothers and grandmothers, and chil- dren under high school age. Eleven automobiles carried as many lpads of suffragists, each auto bearing the name of a state in which women had been granted suffrage. Others were tagged with those of which the suf- fragists had immediate future hope: Not the least imposing feature was (Continued on Fourth Page.) wearing a cap and | hood and proudly displaying the New | { Britain banner. | atvision | marched Mrs. Henry N.

DINKEY WRECK REPORT IS FILED BY ELWELL Clayton Crossing Disaster Caused By Rear Tender Wheels Leaving Tracks. to thee, Hartford, May 2.—Chief Engineer C. C. Elwell of the public utilities commission filed today his report of the railroad wreck at Clayton’s Cross- ing, near New Britain, on Apri] 11, when the fireman of the train, Henry Carroll, was fatally injured. Says + Mr, Elwell: “Examination of the track, made within three hours after the accident, and before any track repairs had { been undertaken, leads me to’ believe that the same was in good order.” In conclusion he says: “Lack of evidence, other than specified, makes it impossible to state definitely just what caused this derailment, but, tak- ing everything into consideration, 1 am inclined to the opinion that it was due to the rear tender wheels leav- ing the rails on account of the oscil- lation of the loaded tank which was being pushed rapidly over track that rested on unstable ground. “With a/view to-preventing such accidents, I would suggest that when it is necessary to run engines back- wards at the head end of regular | passenger trains, careful speed re- strictlons be placed on thé | 'train : movement, and 74 Papras prac- ticable, ppmifr ln. be hauled by engines headed ‘in ‘the direction they are designed. to run.” In its memorandum on the report the commission says: gtAttention is called to the suggestions made by the chief engineer and inspéctor as pos- sible means whereby similar accidents may be avolded in the future.” NOT TO PLEAD GUILTY. Wakefield’s Counsel Says His Client Is Innocent. Waterbury, Conn., May 2.—Thothas F. Devine, counsel for Mrs. Bessie | Wakefleld, today announced. that Mrs, | Wakefield would not plead guilty to murder in the second degree, as has been suggested. The attorney decided there was no good reason why the woman once convicted -of first degree murder and later granted a new trial, should consent to any such arrange- ment. Mrs. Wakefield is innocent, | the lawyer adds. Incidentally Attorney Devine said ! that certain newspapérs of the state were usurping duties of court and jury in commenting upon the guilt or innocence of the accused woman. SIBERIA IS SAFE.

NEGGTIATWNS NOT T0 BE AFFECTED Carranza Refuses to x\gree to Neutral Zone in Ol Fields About Tampico— Huerta's Order for Dr. Ryan's Re- lease Relcaves Tension. ‘Washington, May Esteva Ruiz has been appointed min- ister of foreizn affairs in the Huernl{ cabinet to succeed Portillo vy Rojas, retired. The Spanish ambassador here was officially informed by cable today of the appointment. He is communicating the new appointment to the med atcrs. Ruiz, the new foreign minister, was under secrelary of Portillo. He has assisted in the mediation negotiations. Ruiz had oveen referred to as prob- able Huerta commissioner in case the mediators propcsed a commission representing all parties to the con- troversy. The Spanish ambassador, Mr. Riano, carried the cable announce- ment of Ruiz's appointment to the Argentine lezat.on. The mediators were at on:a called together and a conference began, the Spanish am- bassador tak'ng part. The announce- ment came 2 a surprise to all. Negotiations Not Affected. The mediators stated, however, that the retirement of Portillo would. in no way affect the negotiations. Outside the mediation conference the bearing of the Ruiz appointment caused widespread speculations. In some quarters it was felt that Huerta himself was directing affairs with a' strong hand, and that Ruiz was more amenable to Huerta's di- rection than Portillo had been. According to the Mexican consti- tution the minister of foreign affairs succeeds to the presidency in case of the president’s retirement when therc is no vice-president, as is the case now in Mexico. Hence Portillo was next in line for the presidency and Ruiz is now in that position. Senor Ruiz has been in the Mexi- can government seswice in various capacities for mény, yea: Resignation Confirms k. News of the resignation of Jose Lopez Portillo ¥ Rojas, Mexican min- ister for foreigh affairs, and his under secretary was regarded in some quar- ters here today as partially confirming the late reports of dissention among Huerta's supporters. Tt was said the ministers quit after the cabinet voted down the proposed of Portillo that an official commis- sion be sent to Washington to det in the attempt to settle differences be- tween Huerta and the American gov- ernment. Envoys Resume Conference. Undismayed by the refusal of Car- ranza, rebel chief formerly to agree to the establishment of a neutral zone in the oil fields about Tampico, the South American envoys today resumed negotiations aiming at a settlement of the Mexican crisis. Carranza’s attitude in the Tampico situation was not unexpected, Creation ot a neutral zone there would handi- cap the rebels’ investing operations. Federals control the river along which the oil tanks are bullt, while rebels occupy the fleld on Tampico’'s out- skirts. That situation, it was be- lieved, practically prevented restrict- ing the field of fighting operations. However, the rebel chief notified the state department and the British am- bassador that his men had been warned to employ every precaution against destruction of the property, largely owned by English interests. Although the South American en- voys again were in communication with Carranza over their proposal for suspension of Thostilities between Huerta and the rebels pending nego- tiations, word vet was to be received from him today. Until he makes a definite reply the mediators will be unable to determine whether their efforts for the present must be con- fined to issues between Huerta and the United States government, or whether they may be broadened to include the entire Mexican situation. Dr. Ryan Released, A feature that relieved the tension tcday was the report that Huerta had ordered the release at Zacatecas of Dr. Edward Ryan of the American Red Cross, who had been sentenced Licentiate -to death as a spy. Reports of anti-American outbursts brought by refugees from Mexico to Atlantic and Pacific ports, were tem- pered with the explanation that in many instances the police and soldiers had exercised all their resources to prevent fatal rioting. News that there were 1,600 citizens 'of the United States in Mexico City, gathered from outlying states, caused scarcely any apprehension. It was believed they would soon be taken to Vera Cruz Unofficial news from Vera Cruz that the food situation might soon become acute unless there was speedy relief were partially offset today by a re- port from General Funston that nine hundred tons of staple food supplies held in warehouses for speculative purposes would be commandeered and (Continued on.
