WAR STILL CONTINUES Southern Colorado Coal Strike Dis trict Awaits Com ins ot Federal Troops Guards and Employes Prepared for Attack. TRINIDAD. Colo.. April 28 Heavy fighting at the Walsen mine was in progress tonigrht. The flringr. which had been desultory during: the after noon, was practically continuous after 6 o'clock. Militiamen and guards on Water Tank ilill battled with a strong force of strikers on the "hogback" west of Walsen Camp. Henry Kloyd, a Walsenburg black smith, was shot and killed early in tha night while riding: a motorcycle on the Pueblo road near the hogback. A yonug woman on the rear seat was injured when the unguided machine plunged to the ground. The fighting at Water Tank Hill, the ptrategic point from which the guards have defended the mine since the first attack last night, was furious. There was a continuous rattle of rifle fire between the guards on the hill and the strikers on the hogback. At brief in tervals the rifle fire was drowned by the roar of heavy cannon which the guards had mounted on the hill. It was reported that several more home-made cannon have been added to the battery of two cannon which was in action earlier in the day. These muzzle-loading field pieces were mounted on Water Tank Hill, from which point of vantage they were fired rapidly at the hogback on which were massed the strikers' riflemen. With the guards on Water Tank Hill was a part of the 100 militiamen sent to Walsenburg from Ludlow at Den ver. The rest of the militiamen were held in reserve in Walsen Camp. Reports to the headquarters of the Victor-American Fuel Company to night said strikers had fired upon a detachment of militiamen stationed at the Chandler mine in Fremont County, which was recaptured from miners when state troops under General Chase were sent from Ludlow. Reinforce ments were sent from Canyon City and the firing ceased. No casualties were reported. With a lessening of tension but-with much uncertainty and anxiety, the Southern Colorado coal strike district tonight awaited the coming of Federal troops At a score of local camps r guards and employes lay on their arms, ready to repel attacks of the army of strikers which was scattered through the hills and canyons of Las Animas and Huerfano counties. Weakened by dispatch of troops to the northern fields the militia guarded- its entrenched camps as it awaited the order of Gov ernor Amnions to yield the field to the regulars. "General'' John Brown, in command of the miners' military camp at San Rafael, in the outskirts of Trinidad, passed a busy day anchoring his wind tossed tents and trying to find men among his army who would nt several cases of shoes purchased by the union. "Of course, many of our men are for- eigners, unused to the customs of the United States, and there may be some- difficulty in inducing all of them to sur render to the regular troops," he said. "However, if an officer of the United States Army asks for the guns he'll get them." POSTAL WINS TOLLS CASE "Western Union Ordered Xot to Add Transmitting Charges. ALBANY N. X.. April 28. (Special.) -The Court of Appeals today affirmed an order of the appellate division, which jn turn affirmed an order of the Public Service Commission at Albany commanding the Western Union Tele graph Company to cease charging the Postal Telegraph Company an extra sum. in addition to the regular tele graph tolls, on telegrams transmitted part way by the Postal and then handed over en route to the Western Union for further transmission and delivery at exclusive Western Union points.

Ramsey writing the opinion, affirmed the decree in favor of Joseph -Reiff et. al, against the City of Portland, re lating to the reassessment of prop erty for the Improvement of Seven teenth street, Irura Vaughn to Marshall streets in that city. The City Council, In October, 1903, adopted a resolution providing for the improvement. The Circuit Court, in July. 1908, held the proposed assess ment invalid and directed a reassess ment. The Council, in March, 1910, passed an ordinance- providing for the reas sessment, and . the city levied on the plaintiffs' property in tne sum of J5.574.79. Justice Ramsey holds that the re assessment was, in a sense, a continua tion of the original assessment, and that the property-owners were not given due notice of the proposed Im provement. .... Regarding the complaint that the city made a large fill without their consent, piling earth on their prop erty, the court holds the city a tres passer.

BOOTH URGES NEED OF FARMERS Speculators Who Put Up Land Prices Are Denounced in Oregon City Speech. ADDRESS DRAWS APPLAUSE SPOTTING CHARGE FIXED FEE FOR SERVICE WORTH MILLION A YEAR TO RAILWAYS. Concerted Action by All of Companies Indicated 1b Tariffs Carrying Out Saggestlon. - WASHINGTON, April 28. Railways operating in Eastern classification ter ritory have adopted the suggestion giv en them by the Interstate Commerce Commission and have begun to file tar iffs providing for a charge for "spot ting" cars. The provisions and charges contained in the tariffs are identical in all instances, indicating concerted ac tion on the part of . the roads. The charges are 5 cents a ton with a min imum charge of S2 a car. In Eastern classification territory, it is estimated that there are nearly 27, 000 spur tracks, or sidings, on which cars now are "spotted" by the railroads without charge. The exaction of 82 a car for the service, it is believed, would Increase the revenue of the roads at least 81.000.000 a year. A charge for car "spotting 'is one of the ways proposed to increase the re turns to the railroads without making a straight advance in rates.

Booth as retarders of the development of the state In a talk before the Live Wires, an adjunct of the Oregon City Com mercial Club, at the regular weekly noon luncheon today. Mr. Booth's speech was non-political. It was de voted largely to urging upon his hear ers the necessity of agricultural devel opment in Oregon. This was Mr. Booth's first visit to Oregon City since he announced him self as a candidate for United States Senator and he took advantage of the opportunity to meet as many voters as possible in the four or five hours he remained lure. His address was well received and generously -applauded. "Farmers Needed First.' "Agricultural development in Oregon Is of primary Importance," he said. "We need first agricultural population. City population and manufacturing will come later as a direct result. "The Panama Canal has turned, all eyes toward the Pacific Coast. 1 be lieve we should use every endeavor to attract as settlers the hardy agricul tural races of Northern Europe, peo ple who will get out and cultivate the soil. "Have we not already, I mean we of the city, exploited the farmer too much? In this connection I might say that establishment of a system of rural credits is of the utmost Importance." Lumber Industry Discussed. Mr. Booth digressed to speak of the importance of the lumber industry to the state, referring to the fact that the forests of the South and Middle West are practically gone, leaving the Pacific Coast states of Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho the last source of supply. He predicted that in 20 years from now the cut would be ten times what it was in 1912, bringing into the stato annually in outside money an amount equal to or greater than the National debt- Mrs. Booth, who accompanied her husband on his Oregon City trip for an outing, was a guest at a dinner given by the Women's Relief Corps.
