Depleting conditions In the sugar beet fields of Colorado as approaching peonage , James Bodkin of Mead , Colo. , told the so-called "sugar trust" investigation committee of the house that the em ployes were kept in a state of bond age.

" Democrats , led by Representative Raker of California , sought to show by the witness that the tariff pro tection levied in the name of Amer ican labor did not reach down to the Russians and Hindus who worked in the Colorado beet fields.

President Madero declared the gov ernment had absolute proof that Reyes has planned a revolution. He stated , however , ho believed Reyes would be captured before ho could get it started. That few insurrec tions already in progress are part of the Reyes revolutionary plan was frankly admitted by the president. Notice of Special Election.
