Charges of "Peonage" In Colorado
Coal Mine Region Under Inquiry
When Strange Mixnp Is
Disclosed to Probers.
TKINIDAD, Colo., Feb. 21. Three
from four leaves two. This was the
mathematical proposition that threw
the Congressional Investigation of the
Colorado coal strike into confusion late
today, for the Hduse eub-committee
Instructed Serfreant-at-Arms Martin
Jakle to intern four witnesses and hold
them Incommunicado under penalties
therefor provided, and after seeing the
bulky form of Mr. Jankle securely
planted before the door of the witness
room for several hours suddenly dis
covered that it had locked up and fed
an extra man. ,
It was Representative Kvans, of Mon
tana, who first made the discovery. He
thought himself of interviewing Jakle,
captain of the guard.
"How are the prisoners, Jakle?" he
Insisted.
"All right," replied the upholder of
the dignity of the Congresa of the
United States In the coal fields of Colo
rado. "The two who have already tes
tified are locked in another room one
on the witness stand now and the other
two are here."
Extra Man A cronntrd For.
"The other what?" almost shouted
the Congressman.
"The other two, of course," calmly
replied Jakle.
Mr. Evans descended upon the hear
ing like the coyote upon the goat
ranch.
"I want the eergeant-at-arms to ex
plain how many witnesses were given
Into his custody," he announced, inter
rupting the peaceful session.
The sergeant was produced. He ex
plained that there were five men when
he got them and that none of 'em had
got away not on the honor of an ex
Illinols Sheriff.
"But there were only four when we
ordered them into custody," said
Evans. "They were the four Italians
from Delagua, whom we had sent for
to testify on charges .of peonage.
Who's this other fellow and where did
he come from?"
The five witnesses were then lined
up for the inspection of Giovanni
Minetti, whose story on the stand yes
terday caused the order for the four
men's summons. He pointed out the
four whom he had told the commission
were held in the Delagua mine against
their wishes. "I don't know dat feller."
he added, pointing to the fifth.
Operators' "Witness Being Held.
Frank E. Gove, attorney for the Vic
tor American Fuel Company, then
stepped into the breach. "I assume the
responsibility for the presence of this
man," he declared. "He Is the one who
signed contracts for the Italian work
men who could not write. We thought
he would be a valuable witness."
"I have the fullest confidence in the
integrity of Mr. Gove," Interposed E.
P. Costlgan. of counsel for the miners,
"but I submit that it is an astounding
situation when the committee's own
witnesses ordered held incommunicado
are locked up In the same room with
a. witness for the operators."
The committee was puzzled. Finally
Chairman Foster ordered Anof Yaml
colll, the mysterious fifth man. placed
on the stand for immediate Interrogation.
DENMARK TO PAY TRIBUTE

Honor of Dr. Jacobsen.
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 21 (Special.)
Dr. Carl Jacobsen, Denmark's great art
patron, just before his death confided
to a friend that he Intended to create
a Danish Versailles, and the publica
tion of the plan has led to the determ
ination to carry out his Ideas as a me
morial of his services to the nation.
The large sum to make the plan a. suc
cess will be available from the Carls
berg fund, which was instituted by
Jacobsen and to which he donated

Jacobsen. will be erected in Frederlks
borg, where the beautiful castle of
that name with its extensive gallery
of art and national historical treas
ures is already located. In connection

landscape artist and sculptor will be
called upon to create a Versailles Park.
HATCHERY MONEY ASKED
Representative Haw ley Seeks to Pro
tect Salmon In Columbia.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 21. Representative Haw
ley Is preparing a bill aproprlating
?50.000 for the establishment of a num
ber of small fish culture stations along
the Columbia River, believed neces
sary by the. fish commission for the
preservation of the salmon Industry.
The supply of salmon is decreasing and
it Is believed this is due to the destruc
tion of the salmon fry by the larger
fish and the commission believes this
could be remedied by the establish
ment of a number of stations where
the fry could be protected until they
reach the length of a finger when the
dancer from destruction is not so
great.
Mr. Hawley will have the support
of the fish commission for the bill.

CALIFORNIA COUNTY OPPOSES
COST OF SECOND TRIAL,.
Hleh Court Holds Evidence Insuffi
cient to Convict of Killing Youth
on Top of Train.
REDDING. Cal.. Feb. 21. On mntinn
of District Attorney Chenoweth, of
Shasta County, Judge Barber of the
Superior Court dismissed all chut-ire
against Daniel Fleming, of Oakland,
convicted more than two years ago of
the murder of George Valller, of Ta
coma, on the roof of a Pullman car in
or near Redding August 25, 1910. He
was a railroad detective. The mother
of the dead, youth was active in the
prosecution.
Fleming was to have gone to trial
again on March 2 by order of the Su
preme Court which, in reversing the
lower court, held that the evidence
was insufficient to convict.
In view of this ruline- and the fur
ther fact that the people of the county
were opposed to spending $50,000 on a
second trial and that many of the wit
nesses at the first trial had scattered
in the Interval of two years, the Dis
trict Attorney said he felt it would be
a waste oT time to press the case fur
ther.
This Is the first time In the history
of this county that a man granted a
second trial by the Supreme Court of
the state has found It unnecessary to
avail himself of the privilege.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Prosperity
and depression were pictured again In
the House today by Democrats and Re
publicans.
Representative Humphrey. Repub

fects of the new tariff law.
"Since the present Democratic tariff
law took effect." he added, "the for
eigners have captured our markets, and
me Balance of trade has been against
us for the first time In the history of
the Nation, since the-old Wilson law
went into effect."
Representative Fitzgerald. Democrat.
of New York, replied that under the
Republican tariff law there was a
deficit regularly at one time of the
year because of Inadequate customs re
ceipts, and added that by June 1 pay
ments aggregating 780,000,000 or 90,
000,000 for the ten months of the last
calendar year would begin to be paid
under the Democratic income tax laws.
