Wis.,, June 28.—Debs’ colonization schema hius collapsed. There isnota vast army of Social Democrats marching upon the State of - Washington, but only a handful of agricalturists, who will be sent out a few at a time. Victor L. Ber:er, a leading socialist, who returned yesterday from a conference with Debs at Chic: announced the abandorment of the great Social Democ- racy plan. The reason appears to be lack of funds with which to carry the eolon- ization into the new State. In place of a State that was to be reared on socialistic principles there will be inaugurated a campaign of education.
