American ethnology of the Smithsonian institution who is now gathering data tftnong the Indians in New Mexico has made a report In which It Is shown that the Tewa Indians of the Southwest still offer human sacrifices as a part of their religious rites One of the roost shocking ceremonies according to the report is that by which the rattlesnake is propitiated as a means of Inducing the venemous reptiles to refrain from biting the Inhabitants of the village in whfch the sacrificed are offered The ceremony is performed wlthl greatest secrecy states the report and although many legends of the various Pueblos have pointed indirectly to human sacrifice in the past it was a revelation to Mrs Stevenson whenshe was informed that thisVlte was observed by theTewa atthe present time While it I is said to exist in only two of the vil lages she says she has reason to believe that they are not exceptions In one village the subject is said to be the youngest female infant in the other village an adult woman Is reported to be sacrificed one without husband or children being selected whenevr possible The sacrificial ceremonies takV place Jnthe klva which is the house of worship that the Tewa build in each of their vlllages The subjects are drugged and placed upon a sand painting before the altar and the ceremonies proceed amid Incantations and strange performances After the flesh has

proudest types of manhood rm tw PiiW 1 through the crowd to the platform nanus wB These are the views of Inez Haynes GiUmore Startllngly radical statements are they not to come from this clever woman writer But Mrs GiUmore has turned labor sympathizer She Is even more than that she Is a labor enthusiast No onlyrhas sheenllsted her able pen In the cause of labor but she has gone about among the labor unions and the Industrial Workers of the World making speeches It was just a year ago ma Mrs GiUmore laid aside her half finished novel undertake this big fight for labor and now on Tuesday January 19 at the Lenox casino she is to tell New York just what it was that caused her ardent espousal of their cause She will tell then of the Marysvllle strike which occurred on August 3 1913 on the Durst top ranch In Wheatland Calr a strike which culminated in the death of four men two officers of the law and two unknown hop pickers Concern for Innocent Prisoners She has told ot it many times In the last year because she believes the results of it are of Incalculable importance to the millions of migratory workers In America and to the labor movement at large But her greatest concern Is the two innocent young men sentenced to life imprisonment for their hare in the Marysvllle strike And because she was a spectator at their trial and witnessed the many injusticesinjustices Imposed on these men who were chosen by the law as the objects of Its vengeance Mrs Inez Haynes Glllmorehas come baclr from the West more than a labor sympathizer I want you to understand it fully she said She was sitting back among the ptllows on the big divan In her room at the Madison Arms With a great effort to restrain heremotlon and to couch herstory In temperate terms she told of this conflict between labor and capital this great human drama You must know something about the conditions on the Durst ranch which precipitated the affair There were gathered there 2300 hop plckers men women and children speaking 27 languages Says Filth Developed Typhoid forking conditions on the rangh were difficult living conditions abom inable There were no high polemen to assist the women In pulling down the high vines The women were expected tn load the heavy bundles The tem perature of the hop fields rose as high as122 degrees and yet drinking water was Inaccessible The sanitary conditions were unspeakable Partially filled irrigation ditches developed Into dumping grounds with the result that the stench of decaying food became unbearable and pestilential flies filled the air Dysen tery appeared Typhoid developed later These 2300 hop plckers started to work on Thursday The riot occurred the following Sunday Richard Ford nicknamed Blackle a former member of the organized the strike But there Is no better testimony to the horrors of the conditions of the Durst ranch than the fact thawlthln three days he had produced among2300 people and 27 languages a condition of perfect solidarity xn mis no ws as sisted by Herman ounr Record of the Fatal Sunday TtiA following is a record ot the events of that fatal Sunday In the morning a committee Of hop pickers headed by Ford presented Durst at the latters request a list of demands At the close Durst Immediately sent for a sheriff as was hil custom id case of trouble That afternoon the hop pickerspickers gathered about the dance platform the men wfemen and children Everything was quiet Suddenly two auto mobiles appeared on the road From them alighted eight men District Attorney Manwell and a company of sheriffs and deputies Sheriff Vpss ordered the meeting to disperse and with Deputy Sheriff Reardon pushed his way vml Theres your man said Reardon to Voss polntlnghis gun at Ford Immediately a Swedish girl in the crowd leaped atReardona throatRear don turned his gun on her The Hero of the Hop Pickers Then occurred the splendid episode of the Porto Rlcan This nameless hero ot the hop pickers was a gigantic brown negro Nobody knows anything about him All that we shall ever know Js the magnificent revolt of the last fifteen seconds of his life In that brief moment he flared to blood red prominence When Reardon pointed his gun at the Swedish girls breast the Porto Rlcan became a5whlrl wind He grappled with Reardon tore the club from his hand cracked hlnj over thehead seized Reardbns gun shot him dead swung about shot District Attorney Manwell dead and the next instant himself dropped dead from a charge of buckshot from a deputy sheriffs gun Four Dead on the Ground When the smoke cleared away thers were four dead on the ground And this is the story of the Marysvllle strike told In Mrs Gillmores own terse manner There followed of course the complications usual tdf such a situation the flight in all directions of the terrified hop pickers the slow sittings evidence She went on The end of the story is found in the records of the trial that followed the trial at which a blow was aimed at the I and at organized labor Four men were trfed for the murder of Man well and Reardon Two Were acquitted and two were sentenced io prison for life At this point in her story Mrs Gill more burled her head in the big pillow to conceal the tears that Just would come to her eyes in spite ofall her Imposed control And so Richard Ford who tried to mend matters for the 2300 hop pickers goes to San Quentln for life she said when she had regained her composure And Herman Suhr quiet hard-working sober Suhr Who was not even seen at the meeting goes to Folsom prison also for life For llfe Think of It For life This decision establishes a dangerous precedent Now any man who organizes strike from which killings accidentally result may expect to face a charge of murder The Marysvllle strike for all the
