SAFETV PROBLEM
Trinidad, Colo., Sept. 25. With
$1,000 reward offered for their capture
the search for Thomas Larius and two
. other strikers wanted in connection
with the killing yesterday of Marshal
Robert Lee at Segundo, continued
early today. Preparations also were
made for the coroner's inquiry into
Lee's death, which was set for 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Although the excitement attending
yesterday's first disorder had not en
tirely abated, extra guards were put
on duty last night, and early today no
serious disturbances had been report
ed. Union leaders, and operators to
day again urged upon their partisans
the necessity for the strictest observ
ance of law and order. The only
threat of disturbance throughout the
night was au exchange of several
shots between guards and unknown
parties at Segundo in which no one
was hurt.
The Governor's Statement.
Denver, Sept. 23. Lawlessness in
any of the coal mining districts af
fected by the strike will not be coun
tenanced and if the county peace offi
cers are unable to handle the situa
tion, the state will step in, maintain
order and punish persons responsible
for disorders. This was the program
made public today In a Bigned state
ment, issued by Governor Ammons.
The governor explained that the
reason for making a formal statement
was the misleading reports of his at
titude that have gained circulation in
many of the mining camps. Referring
to his efforts to prevent the strike and
later to arrange a settlement, he says
that while these endeavors have been
unsuccessful, "I shall insist that law
lessness be punished, no matter by
whom-commuted."- -1 - " .
Washington. J). C, Sept. 25. On
the heels of the interstate commerce
commission's scathing denouncement
cf the New Haven road for the recent
alnngioru wreck, in which it wa
held that man failure beginning with
its high officials and ending with its
trainmen was responsible for the los3
of twenty1 one lives, sentiment in con
gress rapidly began to crystalize in a
movement to take up the whole sub
ject of legislation for train safety at
the December session.
An effort will be made to empower
the interstate commerce commission
to deal with such questions as steel
cars and modern safety equipment.
Commissioner McChord, who has in
vestigated many recent wrecks, is
di af ting a bill to place power with the
commission. Representative Stevens
cf New Hampshire, chairman of a sub
committee of the interstate commerce

Calumet, Mich., Sept. 25. The first
trouble in the copper strike district
since Circuit Judge O'Brien prohibited
picketing and interference with work
men, occurred today in the Mohawk
mine. A large party of strikers pick
eted the property and stopped work
men. Mounted troops were called and
the strikers dispersed. One arrest
was made, a striker being taken on
two charges, contempt of court and
threatening to do great bodily harm.
Preparations are being made both
at the Mohawk and Ahmeek mine in
Keweenaw county for resumption of
mining on a small scale at. least.
Keweenew is a stronghold of
union.
The point arose on the testimony of
Morris Tekulsky. a New York liquor
dealer, and former president of the
New York Liquor Dealers' Associa

for 2:! years, he said, and considered
himself an Intimate acquaintance.

Cross-examined by Mr. Marshall, the

in making the gift. Mr. Stanchfield
objected. This precipitated a wrangle
in which judges and senators joined.

lows:
"Owing to misleading statements
circulated in the strike district, I deem
it advisable to say there will be every
cooperation between the state and lo
cal authorities to enforce order.
"I have consulted and have a com
plete understanding with the local au
thorities of all the affected districts
and we have reached the following
understanding
"That all peace officers will arrest
and punish every person not author
ized by law who is found carrying
concealed weapons. The courts will
immediately investigate hy grand
jury, if need be, every act of violence
and offenders will be prosecuted
promptly and punished, no matter who
they may be. All parties are warned
against incendiary speeches calculated
to incite riot, bloodshed or destruction
of property and offenders will he held
strictly to account. "Wherever saloons
are used as rendezvous for disturbers
their licenses will be revoked. Both
. sides of this controversy are expected
to assist in bringing to judgment any
person who violates the law."
"I expect the counties to control the
situation. Whenever they shall be
unable to do so the state will inter
vene and take any steps that may ap
pear to be necessary to protect life
and property, prevent intimidation
and abuse of all kinds and restore and
enforce order and law. I have been
unable to effect a settlement between
the contending parties, but I shall in
sist that lawlessness be punished, no
matter by whom committed."
Statements issued at union and op
erators' headquarters today express
gratification with the situation, the
miners' officials still claiming 95 per
cent of the men on strike In Las Ani
mas and Huerfano counties, and the
operators being equally positive in
their assertions that more men are at
work today than yesterday.
Reports from northern and western
Colorado showed conditions in those
districts practically unchanged. The
governor's announcement of the
state's determination to maintain or
der and prevent lawlessness was well
received at the headquarters of the
contending forces. Apparently it tend
ed to create a feeling of greater secur
ity among the residents of the min
ing camps whether the individuals
were numbered among the strikers or
those who refused to lay down their'
tools.

account of Louis A. Sarecky, Governor
Sulzer's campaign secretary. The ac

August, 1S12, with a deposit of $425.
Between October and December 1, the
total deposits amounted to $14,0G6.
The balance on December 31, was

Yet Brokaw was arrested here on
the day the Indianapolis murder was
committed, and he is able to account
for his movements satisfactorily for
some time previous to his arrest.
Brokaw denies that he is Ellis, but
the evidence gives him the lie. He

Washington, I). C, Sept. 25. The
nomination of Federico CSamboa, Mex
ican minister of foreign affairs, by
the Catholic party for president, re
awakened interest here in the Mexi
can situation. Secretary Bryan de
clined to comment.
While the United States might ia
mately recognize Gamboa, if choser- at
a legal and fair election, the disposi
tion in official circles was to doubt
whether he could be elected.
Representatives of the constitution
alist party declared the radical party
of Mexico would take no part in the
elections and that the revolutionists
would refuse to recognize Gamboa.
The opinion of American officials was
that the nominee of the Catholic party
could not triumph in a popular elec
tion In Mexico.
The overwhelming opposition re
cently shown in the Mexican chamber
of deputies to the selection of Eduar-
do Tamariz, a leader of the Catholic
party, as minister of public instruc
tion, is regarded by officials here as
indicating how unsatisfactory Gam
boa's candidacy would be to the liber
als. Later today, discussing the situa
tion with callers, President Wilson
took the view that two cardinal con
tentions of the United States were
about to be met. Those were the
holding of an election and the elimi
nation of Huerta. He expressed the
view that the policy of moral suasion
was beginning to show its effect.
Constitutionalist headquarters here
gave out copies of a proclamation, said
to have been issued in Mexico City and
signed hy Fernando Cplderon, as chief
of ;the liberal' pary' and about fifty
leaders, declaring definitely that the
liberal party would take no part in
the elections because Mexico was not
in a state of peace necessary for elec
toral preparations, and bearing an inti
mation that the Mexican congress
might defer the elections from October
28 for those reasons.
The proclamation contends that
without the participation of the liberal
party any election cannot be a fair
and free one.
Officials were very reluctant to ex
press any opinion on the Gamboa can
didacy or its relations to the attitude
of the United States toward Mexico.
It appeared plain, however, that the
administration view was that the
Gamboa candidacy was a practical
elimination of Huerta, the principal
thing for which the United States has
contended in all its negotiations and
in that respect the development had
j brought the situation In accord with
President Wilson's views.
The general opinion was that Gam
boa had been sufficiently dissociated
with the Huerta regime at the
zer a fifty dollar check at the close of
a Tammany Hall rally.
Chas. A. Stadler, president of the
American Malting company, told of
collecting contributions for Governor
I Sulzer from brewing interests in New
jYork and Albany. Sulzer told him
that he preferred cash to checks, he
'said. ' fnm
( Stadler said that he had known
Sulzer for many years. He called on
him at Sulzer's request at the begin
ning of the campaign. "Mr. Sulzer in
formed me that he was a candidate
for governor," he testified, "and asked
