THE EXTRA SESSION.

In some respects the situation
which confronts Governor Ormun
is not unlike that which WAS met
by Theodore Roosevelt when gov
ernor of New York. Governor
Roosevelt found It necessary to
call an extra session of the iexis-
lature Of the state to pass the Ford
franchise tax b,ll--a measure bit
terly antaQoniZcd by the corpora
tons and now being attacked by
them in the courts us ,lnconstitu-
tlonal. Mr.. Roosevelt called the
legislature. put the measure
through and earned such praise
for his courage us never before
WAS given toa governor of New
York. The corporations. headed
by Senator Platt, were so angry at
Mr. Roosevelt that they forced
him INTO obscuritv. they hoped, by
nominating him for the vice prcsl.
dcncy. Mr.. Rooscvelt's extra
session and franchise taxing meas
urc thus indirectly made him pres
idcnt Of the United States.
In Colorado at the present time
Nc railroad corporations and their
allies are fighting the new revenue
law and are receiving aud and COM
fort from the newspapers which
they control, Just as similar news
papers IN New York assisted those
who sought to kill the Ford fran.
chkc tax bill. Mr.. Orman may
not become vice president or pres
idcnt of the United States by call
ing an extra session. but such Il
step. # il bccomcs necessary, will
cndcar him to the people of this
state as Governor Roosevelt en-
dcarcd himself to the people of
New York by the dauntlcss front
which he presented to influences
more powerful than those trying
to kill the Colorado revenue law.

BEES CARRIED IN THE MAILS.
Italy Seeks Information Concerning
the American Plan.

Improvements in the mail service of the
United States Postoffice Department ap-
pear to be Of deep interest to foreign Gov
eraments. and a request recently made
by the Minister for Posts Of Italy to the
Postofiice Department for suggestions in
the line of the service is regarded as a
high compliment to the American system
According to the postal regulations, it
is permitted to send live bees through the
international mail 1t has been expert
enced, however, that when bees have to
travel long distances a great many Of
them smother, and thereby entail consid-
cradle loss upon their owners.
The Postoffice Department, upon the
suggestion of Captain Brooks, SUpeTinten-
dent Of the Foreign Mail Service, has de-
signed and constructed a special sack,
made of heavy canvass and perforated
with numbers Of metal lined eyeIets to
allow free circulation Of air, for the trans
pOrtation in the mails of bees
The Minister for Posts Of Italy has been
informed of this improvement and in a
letter received at the Postoffice Depart
ment this morning he requests the Post
office Department to send him q sample
sack. He also asks the opinion of the
Postoffice officials here regarding the eff
cheney of the new device. The requests
have been complied with.

CONSERVING AGAINST POLICE.
An Alleged negro Organization in
Atlanta, Ga.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 22-The murder
Of q patroIman named Debray in the out
skirts of the city Thursday night by three
negro desperadoes, and the arrest of
three suspicious negroes yesterday, cause
the police to fear a conspiracy has been
formed for the assassination of police
men. somewhat similar to the one in Lou
isiana The shooting of Debray had every
appearance of having been premeditated
and arranged through a decoy, and the
fact that the officer had gained the en-
nifty of several bad negroes strengthens
this belief
yesterday morning, on his way to his
courtroom, Recorder BroyIes overheard
three negroes say that HoIlingsworth,
Rowan, and Hollis were the next police
men scheduled to be assassinated, and
that a regular malta existed for the eX-
termination of the bluecoats. The record
er at once reported what he had heard,
and the negroes were placed under arrest
They deny any specific connection with
such an organization as their talk init
mated, but they are being held as suspi-
cious characters, and the authorities
manifest much uneasiness over the incl
dent

the force, and have at different times IN

Berlin. 1t prevents consumption and
cures catarrh in it's worst form (Which
is often the cause of consumptiOn)-
When breathed directly into the lungs
