number of smaller independent concerns
than by their consolidation into large
interests. The American idea of indi-
vidual independence is in some quarters
regarded as superior to large monopolies
in which individuality is lost sight of.
1t is held that a nation Of proprietors is
necessarily better qualified for self-gov-
ernment than a nation Of clerks. In
agriculture it is conceded that the high
est degree of development consists in the
distribution Of the land among large
number of small farmers, each working
his own property, rather than the hold
ing of large tracts of land worked either
on the tenant principle or by hired labor.
In the mercantile world, this same prob
lem is being worked out, while in the
railway world it is only just beginning
to be studied. If in connection with
the present movement toward consolida-
tion, pooling, through the wisdom of
congress, shall become permissible, op-
portunity will be given to ascertain

1t is just such expressions of railroad
policy from men with authority to
speak upon the subject that will best
promote the growth of harmony be-
tween the people and the railroad. Mr..
Morton is to be congratulated upon the
opportunity afforded him by the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce to express
his views, and that body was fortunate
in securing the presence Of one so well
qualified to present the subject There
has been hitherto altogether too much
antagonism engendc. ed between the
railroads and those whom they serve,
and it is in such conferences that the
promise of better things can be seen.
Mr.. Morton's address deserves wide
reading, having, as it does, direct ap-
plication to the entire railroad situation.

MIR, WALSH DENIES
REPORTED INTERVIEW

Denver, June 9.-"The report that
has gone abroad relative to the posi-
bility that President Mckinley and
Mrs. Mckinley might come to Colo
RADIO and be my guests during the
summer, Is entirely erroneous" said
Thomas Il. Walsh to Denver re-
porter.
II did say to newspaper man that
l was sure Mr.. Mckinley greatly re-
gretted his inability to visit Colorado
according to the original plan of the
itinerary, and that 1 had no doubt
that some time before the close of his
administration the President would
make an effort to pay to Colorado the
visit now abandoned, and that, in such
an event, l would be delighted to ell
tertain the President
II did not say, either, that Mrs. Nc
Kin1ey, as soon as she had sufficiently
recovered here strength, would come
to Colorado for the summer for the re-
cuperation of her health. My remark
on that subject was to the effect that
while Mrs. Mckinley was ill in San
Francisco 1t was suggested that she
spend the summer in our state. it be-
ing considered Mt that time the locality
most favorable to her recovery. Had
she come, we would, of course, have
done all in our power to render her
stay comfortable and pleasant, 1t was
later decided, however, that 1t would
be best for her to return ut once to
Washington, and have heard nothing
of 1t, If she has any present intention
of coming to Colorado"

ONE NEGRO SAVED FROM A MOB

refused. With the refusal they began
their advance upon the sheriff and the
few deputies he had been able to sum-
mon to his aid. They were told to stop
or they would be fired on, but the Or
der was not obeyed.
AS they advanced down the corridor
toward the sheriff the order was given
to fire. Bennett fell, dying almost In
stantly. Thomas Word, the father Of
Williams victim, was In the front
ranks of the mob. The uncNpect-
ed fight of the sheriff and his little
posse frightened the mob, and they re
treated outside the Jail. Here they
broke and ran and were soon divided
into little groups, discussing the event.
Sheriff Morrill, at once consulted
Judge Harris. of the County Court, and
it was decided to call upon Governor
Gambler for aid. The governor was
communicated with by telephone, and
said he would send two companies
from Atlanta as soon as they could be
assembled.
During the afternoon the mob tele-
phoned the situation to friends in the
adjoining towns of Villa Rica and
Temple, and made an appeal for more
men to get possession OF the negro.
In1S was communicated also 10 HOVer-
nor Gambler, and the governor soon
wired n proclamation to the people OF
the county. 1t was read from the steps
of the court house at 1 o'clock by the
mayor.
The governor commanded the people
to disperse. and said the entire military
and civil forces of the state would be
used to enforce the order, IL necessary.
The reading of the proclamation appar-
emily had good effect. as many people

out of the county for safe keeping.

o'clock and one hour later escorted the
negro and Sheriff Morrill, to the train
for Atlanta.

OuaiIn for Sweden.

Lively interest has been awakened
in Sweden by the importation of
American quails. Count Claes Lcwen-
haupt of Fosstorjo has ordered this
spring more than 5000 quails, costing
$500. and still more orders are eN-
pccted. The birds are sent In cages--
fifty in each cage-constructed espe-
cinlly for the purpose. The small LOT
of American quails which were set
free in Count l.cwcnhaupts estate at
Chnestorp last spring endured the win
ter well. and it appears that Sweden
has good prospects of an increase in
its game birds.

Carrolton, Ga, June S.-The nerve OF
a Georgia sheriff, Joseph Morrill,, to-
day upheld the law of the state and
saved the life of n negro from mob.
In protecting the negro, who was saved
from the gallows only few hours be-
fore through the eff orts of his lawyers,
one life was lost and two men were
wounded. The arrival of the state mi
litia averted threatened trouble last
night and at 0 o'clock special train
bearing the negro, whose crime was the
murder of little white boy whom he
found fishing alone, was speeding to-
ward Atlanta under guard.
The man killed in attacking the Jail
was George Bennett OF Carrolton, and
the wounded men are Thomas Smith,
n citizen of Carrolton, and an unknown
man, presumably farmer.
Thomas s. Word, father OF the mur-
dered boy, who was in the front rank
of the would-be lynchcrs. was not hit.
After Bennett fell Mr.. Word jumped
upon a window sill and exclaimed dra-
matically:
"Shoot me, Mr.. Sheriff: would as
soon die now as any time"
Only nine shots were fired and the
walls of the Jail show the marks of the
bullets. None of the sheriff's posse
was hit.
Williams, the negro who caused the
trouble, was tried and found guilty Of
numbering Otis Word January 1. 1901,
and sentenced to be hanged yesterday
He was only yesterday refused IL new
trial, but his attorneys filed n bill of
exceptions and carried the case to the
Supreme Court.
A large crowd of people had come to
town to witness the hanging, and when
1t was learned that an appeal had been
taken to the Supreme Court, delaying
the execution, there was much excited
talk, which crystallized soon after in
the formation of a mob. At noon the
mob made an assault on the jail. They
battered down the outside door, despite
the warning Of the sheriff, and entered
the building.
They made a demand on the sheriff

MATCHLESS MINE SAVED TO
MRS. TABOR BY A KIND FRIEND

Denver, June S.-The heroic struggle
of Mrs ii. A. w. Tabor to save some
thing for herself and children from the
wreck OF her husbands fortune has at
Inst been crowned with success. The
Matchless mine, the famous Leadville
property, from which Senator Tabor

which he constructed the Tabor opera
house and Tabor block, has been taken
out of the hands of the mortgagers
and will be operated under the man
agement of Samuel Belford as trustee
An unknown friend Of the dead SEN

and while Mr.. Belford will hold title
to the property MS trustee, n very hand
some share Of the proceeds will be
credited to the bank account Of Mrs
Tabor.
In 1904 the senator mortgnged the
property to William II. Everett and ex-
ecuted lease to the Ransom Leasing
company. Before the mortgage be-
came due In 1896 Everett sold his in

operated the property, and consented
to extend the mortgage three years
