of his job as a war correspondent.
Mac's going to see Vic Lawson, for
whose Daily News he's been corre

Vic to release him.
Mac is putting up the argument

ROCKEFELLER WITH CASE
New York, May 22. Fresh from a
conference with President Wilson in
Washington, Juvenile Judge Ben B.
Lindsey of Denver arrived here today
on his way to Tarrytown, where he
said he proposed to lay before John
D. Rockefeller the true condition of
affairs in the Colorado mine strike.
Lindsey, accompanied by his wife
vand wives and children of several
miners, said he would undertake his
mission to Pocatinco Hills, in spite
of Rockefeller's announced determin-'
ation not to see him and regardless-of
the resolution forwarded to President
Wilson by the Denver Chamber of
Commerce that Lindsey does not rep
resent the state of Colorado, but in
terested himself in the strike to
further his political ambitions.
