BISON KILLING CASE
AT LEADVILLE FAILS

Denver, Oct. 2O.-A Republicn spe-
cial from Leadville yesterday says:
State Game Warden Harris of Den
yer, who has been working 80 faithful
ly on the case against the Bartlett
brothers and others, for slaughtering
bison, received an unexpected shock
which resulted in the dismissal of the
case In the District Court to-day.
Frank A. Bartlett, @. A. Bartlett, ].
y. Webb and w. Il. Mcclure were the
defendants In the case. The latter was
not supposed to have had anything to
do with the killing Of the buffalo, but
1t was through him that the sale was
to be made, and he was putting
through the sale when the arrests were
made by Harris.
The case was called In the District
Court this morning, and after securing
a Jury, evidence was at once given by
the prosecution. This was to the eff
feet that the defendants had unlaw-
fully killed four bison and had confis.
Gated the hides.
Much to the surprise Of the prosecu.
tion, and also to Judge Overs of the
District Court. the defendants after
hearing all the evidence Of the state,
asked that the case be dismissed and
that they be discharged, on the
ground that the case was brought un-
der the act of 1897, which made such

Denver, Oct. 21.-Among the pro
posed constitutional amendments that
will come before the people Of Colorado
for ratification or rejection In Novem-
Der, 1902, and which should neither be
adopted nor voted down without intel
ligent consideration, ID the Australia
sian land tax amendment.
The Twelfth General Assembly an,
pointed revenue commission to inves-
tgate the revenue laws Of Australia
Sia; the chairman Of that commission
was Senator James W. Bucklin of
Grand Junction; he paid his own ex-
penses and spent three months on his
tour and gathered all the data and Of
ficial information obtainable and then
gave a report of what he found; that
report may be had by addressing the
Australasian Tax League, p. 0. Box
1O17, Denver, Colorado.
As result of this report and at the
suggestion OF the commission a con-
stitutonal amendment was passed by
the Thirteenth General Assembly and
is now before the people for considera-
tion. The proposed amendment reads
as follows:
'Sec. 9.-Once In four years, but not
oftenef, the voters of any county in the
state may, by a vote at any general
election, exempt or refuse to exempt
from all taxation for county, city, town
school, road and other local purposes,
any or all personal property and i'm
provements on land; but neither the
whole nor any part Of the full cash
value Of any rights Of way, franchises
in public ways, or land, exclusive of
the improvements thereon, shall be SO
exempted; Provided, however, that
such question be submitted to the vot-
ers by virtue of petition therefor,
signed and sworn to by not less than
one hundred resident taxpayers of such
county, and filed with the county clerk
and recorder, not less than thirty nor
more than ninety days before the day
of election"
"sec. II. The rate of taxation on
property for state purposes shall never
exceed four mills on each dollar of
valuation; but the provisions of this
section shall not apply to rights of way,
franchises in public ways, or land, the
full cash value Of which may he taxed
at such additional rate, not exceeding
two mills on each dollar of assessed
valuation, as shall be provided by law,
after exempting all personal property
and improvements thereon from such
additional rate of taxation"
The idea underlying this system of
taxation, according to its advocates,
may be Illustrated by the following ex-
ample, given by ]. Il. Herman in
Georges Weekly. In the southwest
part Of the state the government is sur
yeying for proposed tunnel that will
tap the Gunnison river and water a
large trace of the old Ute reservation

London. Oct. 22.-Brigadier General
A. W. Greedy, chief Of the United
States signal Office, is here after FIVE
months spent in Japan and the Philip
pines, inspecting the army and navy
telegraphs and cables. After making
some official Investigations in London
In connection with the cable service,
he will return to Washington.
The general Is greatly pleased with
the efficiency of the 8,OOO miles of cable
and telegraph lines now working in
the Philippines. He considers that the
country and people both offer great
possibilities, and he Is enthusiasts
over the japanese telegraphic systems.

ONLY TWO NIGHTS OUT
NEW YORK TO DENVER

Chicago, Oct. 22.-The New York
Central and Lake Shore railroads are
preparing to take advantage of the
vast improvements which have been
made in the physical condition of the
Chicago & Northwestern and the
Union Pacific. November 3rd these two
roads will place in service new ocean
to ocean flyer, giving an additional lIm-
tied train clear across the continent.
1t k stated that the new flyer will
leave New York at 8:45 a. m. and will
arrive at Chicago at 7:5O o'clock the
following morning, making the dis
tance practically in twenty-four hours.
The time given Is that of the present
fast mail and the train will run on the
fast nails present schedule. When the
change is effected the fast mail will
probably be run as the second section
Of the flyer.
The new train will be vestibuled,
with dining car and buffet and IL
brary cars, new equipment. and be a
strictly limited train. The new train
will be run to connect with train No.
B Of the Northwestern, which, leaves
Chicago at 10 O'clock every morning
and which will be through San Fran
cisco train on and after November Bird.
The New York Central trains have
connections from Boston, so that the
new service will be two nights out
from New York or Boston to Denver,
three nights out to Salt Lake and four
nights to San Francisco and Portland

Lowell, Mass, Oct. 22.-The financial
troubles which have caused great sus.
pense to the officers of the Merchants
National Bank for three days, in con,
sequence of the disappearance Of its
teller, Albert G.. Smith, and its book
keeper, Lewis H. Swift, practically
were smoothed out yesterday. The
bank has lost about $115,OOO The d.
rectors officially state this and at the
same time say they have had returned
securities valued at 100000.
The banks loss, 1t Ia understood, is
made up Of two items: First, the steal
ings Of the two men during the past
two years, as shown now by the books,
and secondly, that part Of the cash in
cluded In the loot retained by Smith
and Swift as the price Of their bargain
to return the securities.

Smoking In Cuba,

Cuba produces no tobacco for chew
ing or for pipe smoking. The Cubans
who smoke pipes might be counted on
ones fingers without making second
round on the fingers. The cigar and.
the cigarette prevail. To what extent
the Cuban Cigarette might ever. become
popular with American smokers is
matter beyond determination. 1t is GER
tain that most Americans of prolonged
residence become, If they be smokers,
addicted to the Cuban brands and find
difficulty in weaving themselves back
to American brands on their return.

NEW WIRELESS UNDERGROUND
TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE

London, Oct. N.-A formidable rival
Of the London Aarconi system prom
ises to invade the neId Of wireless tel
egraphy. This IL the Armoral system
for electrical transmission Of energy,
BY which effects similar to MarconTs
system. with several additions, can be
transmitted without the aid Of wires.
Ariel Orling, a young Swede, ID the dis
coverer OF this novel development OF
electrical science, and associated with
him is J. T. Armstrong, an English
electrician, at whose country residence
in Buckinghamshire experiments have
been in progress for the past year.. the
result Of which is that they submitted
to demonstration yesterday.
Briefly, the new system, besides
transmitting ordinary. dot and dash
messages, will carry sound like the
telephone and win carry energy suffi-
Client to steer a torpedo, all the time
under control Of the operator, besides
doing away with the necessity for the
tall poles used In the Marconi system.
The whole mechanism at each end is
not more bulky than 4he ordinary tele-
graph instrument, while the only in
stallation required consists of sticking
two ends of ground wires into the
earth, whereon the apparatus is ready
to receive or to transmit messages.
Perhaps the most unearthly expert
ment was telephoning to distant tent

for the reason that the Legislature In

that the said bison were captured pre-
vious to 1897 by the parties from

The request came like bomb In the

believed from the evidence introduced
that the state had very strong case,
and he wanted the defendants to con-
tinue with the trial. but they pressed

ney and the judge finally admitted

charge the defendants.

middle Of the tent was an ordinary
telephone receiver, connected with
small boxed-up apparatus in shed be-
low the railway signal box. The tele-

This circumstance added perhaps to
the mysterious character Of the expert

To listen in the telephone receiver
