AN ABYSMAL CAVE.
Wonderful Cavern in Cow Mountain
Discovered by Miners.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, July 13.-Pho-
tographer Yelton to-day returned from a
trip to Cow mountain, about six miles east
of this city, where he had been to obtain
views of a most remarkable cavern dis
covered by sinking prospect shaft The
cave was discovered by parties who We're
doing their assessment work on a group
of claims on Cow mountain. man was
picking in the bottom of a tenfoOt hole
when he suddenly struck the point of his
pick through the rock into apparently I'M
limited space He cautiously investigated
and gradually opened up a pit that led to
the other world to all appearances Rocks
dropped into the hole, however, struck bot
tom in about two seconds or less, showing
that the cave was less than fifty feet deep
at that point. The man got rope and
fastening it securely above, descended TO
explore the immense cavern which proved
to be a Veritable storehouSe of ice. Stalag-
mites and stalaCtiteS OF pure ice stood like
cypress trees from the floor and hung like
a ghostly fringe from the ceiling. EX
ploration was not carried very far, as a
lance Of about fifty feet from the entrance.
Chunks of ice thrown down this abyss could
be heard rafting and clanking on the sides
but never sound OF the bottom being
touched. Photographs We're taken by flash
light and the pictures reveal the ice in
crystal condition forming most fanciful
figures. An effort will be made to open the
chamber where these pictures were taken

five feet wide. Beyond this the cave widens

LIAR, COWARD AND THIEF
HOW CONSUL GENERAL LEE IS ES-
TEEMED BY HAVANA EDITOR.
His Report to Washington Denounced,
and He Would BE Lynched if Span
iards Were BIOOdthirsty.

HAVANA, July 13.-The Avisador Com
mercial political and commercial daily,
in a leading editorial article makes a bitter
attack upon United States Consul General
Lee on account of his report to the govern
ment at Washington on the Ruiz case. The
paper says:
''Crediting Consul General Lee with some
good judgment we cannot but have com
passion for him, believing him to be
ashamed of his report. The text Of the re-
port has been published In Havana, and the
Spanish residents show their chivalry by
not even displaying their scorn for one who
has included so many falsehoods in his re-
port. Can there be a more ridiculous stand
than that taken by General Lee? His tale
of horrors, based on a prisoner being alone
in his cell, wifeless and childless, has gone
to the wall. The Spaniards of Havana
have read it with Indignation or of hilarity
and have shown General Lee that certain
of the monstrous acts related are only
capable of execution by those who conceive
them.
Probably General Lee has conceived be-
cause he witnessed them in his country
and among his people, where the lynching
of prisoners is esteemed by the authorities
as legal. The Spanish people are too noble,
generous and too chivalrous to descend so
low. They treat with respect even those
whom they despise and this is proved by
the manner in which General Lee has been
treated in spite of the foolishness contained
in his report
I'VE will not even insinuate that in the
$4,000 indemnity he asks for the widow of
DR.. Ruiz his commission was his principal
object, but this the least malicious persons
might infer after Lees request for $4,000
with which to relieve suffering Americans
who do not exist here. The Spanish people
are brave, not savage, and do not torment
defenseless prisoners They do not lynch
their prisoners nor are they guilty with
the rebels here of the cruel and terrible
carnage INDUCED in by Lees fellow citizens
during the war of the rebellion.
Were we reVengeful instead of noble,
Lee would not be in the position he is now
in after his insults. He knows that the
Spaniards do not regard him as a brave,
important enemy in Cuba.
ANY other government than that at
Washington would find cause in the Ruiz
report to pgeonhole it for fear of ridicule.
If such are the diplomats and generals of
the United States, what kind of folks must
the rest of the people be?''

B. & 0. CHICAGO LINE
COWEN AND MURRAY TO OPPOSE A
SEPARATE RECEIVERsHIP.
The New Mileage Books VIII BE Good
on Thirty-TwO Roads-A Big Day at
the indianapolis stock Yards.

More than ordinary interest has been
aroused in the movement of the Union
Trust Company, of New York, to bring
about the appointment of aseparate receiver
for the western division Of the Baltimore
e. Ohio, and it is understood that should
the Union Trust Company carry it's point
Samuel FELTON, will be appointed receiver.
The Baltimore Sun devotes nearly column
to discussing this movement in its differ
ent phases, and among other things says:
THE move for the receivership is attrib-
uted by some financiers to j. p. Morgan
& Co. They look upon it as the initial
move in contest for the control of the
reorganization of the system, which will
be bitterly fought by leading financial
houses Of the world who are interested in
b. & o. securities. Recognizing big rail-
roads is a very lucrative business, in addi-
ton to the advantage it gives the dom
mating power for the investors which the
power represents. The houses conspicuous
in the financial affairs of the Baltimore &
Ohio are Speyer & CO. and ]. p. Morgan 6,
Co, both of New York If they join in
terests it is believed that they would be
stronger than all other interests outside
such a combination. Speyer g. Co. placed
the bonds issued under the $40 900, 900 sec
ond consolidated Pittsburg & Connellsville
mortgage, for which the Union Trust Com
pany, of New York is trustee The Union
Trust Companys application to be made a
party TO the suit creating receivers for the
B. G. o. was granted last Friday. This puts
the Pittsburg & Connellsville second con-
solidated mortgage on an equal basis be-
fore the court with the main line CONSOLE
dated mortgage of 1929, 500 900, for which the
Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company, of
Baltimore, is trustee. The bonds marketed
under this mortgage were placed by j. p.
Morgan 81 Co. The action of the court, it
is argued, should bring Morgan & Co. and
Speyer & Co. closely together in the reor-
ganization of the property. The Baltimore
& Ohio operates, in connection with the
Cincinnati, Hamilton 81 Dayton and the
Monon route, a passenger and freight line
to Chicago via Cincinnati and indianapolis.
Some through business Is carried over this
route, so that in the event of a separation
between the b. q o. and c. and the
B. &, O., the B. & 0. would not be shut
out Of Chicago. Advantageous traffic ar
rangements. it is said, could also be made
with one of the several lines running into
Chicago. This, is is claimed, could be done
at less than the present arrangement
costs -

SUES FOR HIS LICENSE
DIR. STREET, OF LAKE, SEEKS TO
MANDATE STATE MEDICAL BOARD.
Board Had Informed Him His App1ica-
tiOn Was IncOmplete-Increas i'm
Fee with Expiration of Ninety Days.

A. w. Street, a practicing physician of
Whiting, Lake county. yesterday brought
a suit in the Marion Superior Court asking
that a writ Of mandate be issued to compel
the State Board of Medical Registration
and Examination to issue a license under
the new law enacted by the last Legisla-
ture
DIR. Street brings the action through a
firm of Chicago lawyers. He AYERS that in
accordance with the regulations as pub
lished by the Board of Registration he for
warded his license and affidavit with fee
of 81 during the month of April last Within
q few days he received letter from the
secretary of the board stating that his ap-
plication had not been filed in the proper
way and instructing him to procure blank
of the clerk of his county He did so, he
AYERS, and heard no more of the matter
for several days. Then he received an
other letter from the board, informing him
that his application was yet incomplete and.
that he must procure another blank from
the clerk of his county and fill that out,
showing that he of good moral char
acter. The plaintiff then AYERS that he
grew weary of all this "red-tape business
and consulted his attorneys in Chicago.
They advised him to bring suit to compel
the board to act The plaintiff says the
secretary of the Board of Registration, in
one of his letters, informed him that for
the sum of 81 a handsomely engraved IL
cense would be sent to him. This he has
not received. He shows the court that he
enjoys a good practice in his county and
that it is necessary to have the regular
license issued by the board in order to re-
tain his practice.
The new medical law gave all practcing
physicians in the State ninety days from
haf
applications with the board and receive a
license at the expense of 81. This time limit
expired yesterday and it is estimated that
fully one thousand, or over 20 per cent of
the physicians of the State, neglected to put
in their applications. Under the law they
will now have to take an examination and
nav fee of s.
