MILITIA WOULD HAVE j
TO FAC i 50,000 M N
Chicago, May 20.-Judge Lindsay
and a committee of five women are
k enroute to Washington today to pre-'
• sent a protest to President Wilson
against the withdrawal of federal
troops from Colorado.
Lindsey predicts that civil war
will be the result.
He says that the details of the
Ludlow massacre are too horrible to
* print and that a written statement of
testimony by eyewitnesses would not
be admissible to mails.
The miners are wild for revenge,
according to Lindsey, and the only
thing that holds them now is their faith
in the regular army officers, whom
they believe will punish the guilty
, militiamen.
He says that many people not di
rectly interested in the strike have
been aroused by the massacre and
that should another clash occur the
state troops would find themselves op
, posed by from 50,000 to 75,000 men. i

CONCENTRATOR
FOR LATOUCHE
Latouche, May 1*0.—Construction of
a $250,000 concentrating plant, with a
daily capacity of 500 ton"-, is now under
way at the mine of the Bea'son Copper
company on Latouche island. J wenty
tive carpenters, who will help build
the plant, recently arrived on the
steamship Northwestern. < )ne hun
dred and fifty thousand feet of lumber
already has been carried to the mine
for the new plant by the freighters of
the Alaska Steamship company and
another 150,000 feet is on the way from
Seattle. The mine has been shipping
ore south for more than ten years, but
with the completion of the new plant
will ship only concentrates. Some dif
ficulty was found in keeping the ore
up to a grade high enough to justify
its shipment south.
