CITY CLERK RYAN LIBELLED.
New York Hebrew Paper Roasts Him
 For an Imaginary Wrong.

For the first time in his life City Clerk Ryan was about the city hall to-day looking worried and acting as if some great trouble had suddenly come upon him. A Democrat reporter inquired of the clerk what was the mat ter and was told to call out and see Chief Egan of the police department. This made the reporter feel that some thing serious was on and he hurried off to the police station and requested the chief to throw a light on the mat ter. The chief handed the reporter a clipping from a New York Hebrew paper and after reading it the reporter learned that the genial city clerk was in q bad box. 1t seems that some one mistook the city clerk for the chief of police and gave him frightful roast about something which neither the chief nor the clerk knows anything about. It Is believed that whoever wrote the squib was off his trolley and stopped in the wrong town.
 Referring to Mr Ryan as chief of the Waterbury police force, the writer calls him "a wise guy" and several other things and then accused him Of having said recently that he could se- cure all the Jewish witnesses he want ed to perjure themselves at twenty five cents per head. To top 1t off some one who signed herself Jewish" wrote at the end of the article: Liar! scoun- drel! Prove your wordsv' Nobody in official circles here knows anything about it so that the only explanation that can be given of it is that some chief of police named Ryan dropped some remarks not complimentary to the Jewish people and through some mixup the paper credited 1t to the wrong town. Chief Egan, City Clerk Ryan nor any other good citizen of waterbury would think of using snch all expression with reference to the Hebrews or any other class of people.
 Why. City Clerk Ryan thinks the
 world of the Hebrews. It is not a month ago since he was one of the guests of honor at a fashionable Jewish
 wedding in Concordia hall This New York paper should explain how 1t hap pened to make such a blunder.

MADE EYES AT WOMEN.
Giovanni Peroto Given Heavy
 Sentence By Judge Peasley

Giovanni Peroto Given a Heavy
 j Sentence By Judge Peasley.
 In the city court. to-day Judge Peas ley made an example of the miscreant
 who sees pleasure in annoying women nights by following them. The man
 was Giovanni Peroto. He was
 charged with breach of the peace in following and annoying Mrs John. Cummings of Riverside street last night. Officer NJ. Healey testified that
 he was called upon by Mrs D. J. Raf-
 ferty and he advised her to go with
 Mrs Cummings to her home and he
 would see if Peroto would follow them. The women acted upon his
 suggestion and pretty soon he saw the
 Italian issue from dark place and fol low the women. When he was taken into css1ody he offered tthe officer
 $9.5O to let him go. Mrs Rafferty recognized the man as tine one that followed her and Mrs Cummings. Mrs
 Cummings told practically the same story as Mrs Rafferty, but she added that he made the ''fiercest and most
 terrible eyes" at her. Several times he actually stood in front of them and 1 1t was then he made the fierce and ter
 rible eyes. Mrs Cummings lives at
 557 North Riverside street.
 Attorney Bauby appeared for the
 man. He saf1 he was a stranger in a
 strange land, being in the country
 only forty days, twenty of which he
 has been employed as a section hand
 on the Highland division of the Con-
 solidated railroad. He came to town yesterday from Fishkill and worked until o'clock. Then he took a stroll and drank little. He could
 not understand how he spoke to the officer ill English when it was evident l he did not know D. word of the lan- guages The attorney believed the
 man could not speak or understand q word of the language. He did not
 remember anything about Following the women in question. While the
 women were giving their testimony the prisoner was making the most sim gular faces He acted as if he were crazy. Judge Peasley said that no matter how long or short q time the man may have been in the country he should not annoy women and he might as well be given a lesson to that effect I now as later He accordingly sen tenced him to ninety days in jail
 l Nora Reardon was sentenced to
 thirty days in jail for intoxication. 1 This was all the business of the court.

FOWLER BANK ROBBED.
Two Men Arrested, One Of Whom Con-
fesses. f

Denver, April S.-A Republican spe
cial from Fowler, Otero county, dated
yesterday, says:
By the use of dynamite and nitro
glycerine, Il quartette aof burglars
cracked the safe and strong box in the
Bank of Fowler at 40 this morning
and secured $1,193. The noise of the
explosions aroused the residents In the
vicinity Of the bank, and within few
minutes several men were on the street,
They saw the robbers run away from
the bank and head toward the west.
A. H. McMasters, merchant, fired
three shots at the retreating figures,
but missed them.
j. b. Scanlan and J. B. Hannahn,
two of the burglars, were later arrest
ed on Santa Fe train and taken to
giving a description OF their accOm-
plices. BlOodhounds have arrived here
from Canon City and will be used In an
EFFORT to apprehend the two fugitives
A. N. Lipsey, owner Of the bank. Of
fers $500 for the capture of the other
two robbers dead or alive.
The burglars entered the bank
through side window and began oper-
atoms on the time lock on the big
vault. They bored three holes in the
door and put in three charges of dyna-
mite. The door was blown from the
hinges, and desks and counters knock
ed down and the front door and win
dOws were shattered. 1t Is mystery
how the men escaped without personal
injury, as the explosions were all very
heavy. After getting through the out,
er door. the burglars began work on
the strong box, In which the currency
was kept. This was opened by nitro
glycerine and all the money taken.
Three silver dollars were dropped by
the men when they were making their
escape.
Several citizens attempted to follow
the burglars, but the men were soon
lost In darkness. Marshal w. H. Sig
afoos Of Fowler notified all surround
ing stations Of the robbery and asked
the officers to watch for the fugitives.
Then he organized posse and started
out to search for the men.
Among the officers notified was Dep.
uty Sheriff Thomas of Nepesta. He
Immediately armed himself with rife
and met the Santa Fe train.

COLORADO SOLDIERS HOME.
Finances In Good shape and New
euildings Planned.

Denver, April IA Monte Vista
special to the Denver News says the
Soldiers Home Commission has closed
a two days session, at which much
important business was transacted.
The entire list of officials was re-elect-
ed for another year. The financial re-
port shows all indebtedness paid of,
and the commission finds 1t has about
$4,000 In the treasury to spend for
Improvements.
They propose with this to add a
wing to the hospital building, increas-
ing Its capacity about fifty per cent.
They will also erect IA two-story build
ing, the first story of which will be
used for officers, and the second floor
for an assembly room. They will also
Install an electric light plant, abolish.
ing the present coal oil nuisance. II
the funds permit, cottage for the ad-
jutant will be erected. All these
buildings are to be Of stone, uniform
with the buildings Already erected.
These improvements have been sorely
needed for several years, and the
Grand Army posts and auxiliary or
ganizatIons throughout the state will
rejoice to know that these additional
facilities for the old soldiers are now
assured. AS soon as some OF the minor
details can be attended to, bids will be
called for, and the work pushed to
speedy completion.

HOUSE PASSED THE CHINESE
Amendments Increase Drastic charae-
ter Of the Measure.

A0T VI uG MCdbotGs
Washington, April S.-The House
yesterday passed the Chinese exclusion
bill, after Incorporating In 1t several
amendments which increased the dras-
tic character of the measure. The
principal one not only excludes Chi
nese by birth and descent, but all Chi
nese of mixed blood. The chief str,ig-
gle was over an amendment to pre-
hibit the employment OF Chinese sail
ors on American ships. An amendment
covering this proposition WAS ruled out
on a point Of order, but subsequently
was modified to evndc the ruling and
was adopted, 100 to IA.
AS passed the bill practically re-
enacts all the existing exclusion laws
and Incorporates with them the exist
ing treaty regulations. 1t extends
these exclusion laws to the Philippines
and other possessions Of the United
States, and forbids Chinese labor in
our colonial possessions coming into
this country. The Philippine commits
sion, by the terms of the bill. is d.
rected to adopt proper measures for
the enforcement of the provisions OF,
the bill In the Philippines.
Two amendments were adopted
without division, one by MIR. Clark of
Missouri to amend the definition of
teacher" under the privileged classes
SO as to require that for two years
before admission the teacher should
have been engaged In teaching the
higher branches, and another by Mr..
C0ombs Of California to provide that
Chinese students shall have the coun-
try Immediately upon the completion.
nf their course OF study.

WANT THE FAIR POSTPONED.
st. Louis Exposition May Not Be Held
Till 1904.

Chicago, April 7.-John Barrett, COM
missioner general to Asia for the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition, left Chi
cago last night for San Francisco, en-
route to the Orient. AS Mr.. Barrett
has Just returned from Washington,
where he had access to the diplomatic
correspondence with foreign govern
ments on worlds fair matters, and as
he has also been in recent conference
with the fair officials at st. Louis, the
following statements made by him to-
night in reference to a possible post
ponement of the st. Louis exposition
has special Significance:
"The worlds fair infringement in st.
Louis has been bending every energy
to have the exposition open promptly
In 1903, but grave condition has
arisen which 1t cannot control and for
which 1t is not responsible. Nearly all
of the foreign governments have un-
officially notified the United States
government or the worlds .sair man
agemept that 1t is physical impossi-
bility for them to be creditably repre-
sented in St. Louis in 1908. On the
other hand, while the majority of them
have accepted for 1903 and will do the
best they can, they have informally
lnttmated that II the exposition Is post
p0ned they will endeayor to surpass
even what they did at Chicago and
Paris. AS the success Of the worlds
fair as great international exposi-
ton must depend largely on foreign
participation, it can be seen that this
is most serious consideration which
neither Congress nor the exposition
officials can overlook.
I'm short, II the worlds fair at ST.
Louis is postponed 1t will be done
largely In Difference to the wishes of
foreign nations. For instance, the Jap
anese government has informally no.
tilted me that Japan will welcome
pOstpOnements, and will participate ac-
cordingly, because in 1908 the great
exposition is to be held at Osaka,
which will interfere with the worthy
representation at st. Louis, but in 1904
the best Of the Osaka exhibits could
be brought to st. Louis" sIa

csserade Flsid.
! Denver. April ga News special
from Fort Collins says:
There Is NO longer any doubt that
the sugar trust has entered the beet
sugar industry. II now controls the
Penoyer interests and In fact all the
Michigan beet sugar factories that are
paying properties. The factory at Lehi,
Utah, has also passed Into Its hands.
For some months past. experts In the
employ Of the Havemeyers have been
quietly making thorough and sys-
teniatic investigation Of the Colorado
fields. They reported that the Colo
radO soil and climate was the best in
the world for sugar beets and that In
dependent companies were starting
factories all over the state. The Have
meyers were afraid that a few years
might develop very dangerous compe-
titiOn, and decided that in order to
protect themselves they must own the
Colorado factories.
They have already completed ar
rangements for a controlling interest in
the Eaton beet sugar factory, and an
offer has been made by them for the
factory which is now being built at
Greeley.
The Greeley company at first refused
to sell. The Havemeyerx said that IL
the Greeley people absolutely refused
to sell. then Greeley would have two
factories, as they would build another
one there.
Negotiations are now in progress for
the factory at Loveland. The owners
of the Loveland factory want to sell
for 81, 100000 cash. The Havemeyers
have submitted the proposition to put
in 81 100000 more, or double the eapa-
city of the plant. This offer Is now
being considered.
At the meeting Of the stockholders of
the proposed Fort Collins sugar fac
tory this afternoon Mr.. Penoyer stated
that 1t was case of sell or fight. that
the sugar trust had thoroughly invest
igated the beet sugar business and had
decided TO engage in the industry. He
stated that It would build by the side
of every independent sugar factory n
duplicate factory, and would crush all
competition.
Mr.. Penoyer said further that all the
Hayemeyers asked was that 5000
acres of beets be guaranteed them and
to allow them one director; that the
people here could invest in the sugar
factory trust as already arranged for
by the company. Those interested in
the factory considered the matter fully
and voted unanimously to accept the
proposition.
The Havemeyers will commence the
erection of the factory just as soon as
the site Is selected. The Baker place
east of town and the Berry place north
of town are the only places under con-
sidefatlon. Unless conclusion Is
reached very soon. the factory will be
built on the Barry place, rs the option
on the Baker farm expires in short
time. The business men and local cap.
italists who were Interested in the fac
tory are jubilant over the new deal.

RIO eaAnoE EXTENSION.
viii sulld From psita to Psonis BY
October fst.


Denver, April 1.-THE Republican
this morning says:
The contract for the North Fork
branch of the Denver & Rio Grande
has been let by Manager Herbert to
Deal Bros. 4 Mendenhall Of Spring
Vile, Utah. CONSTRUCTION work win
begin at once ON q line reaching the
fruit belt Of western Colorado and
some coal lands.
There has been much speculation
over which company would first pene-
rate the rich territory along the north
fork Of the Gunnison, the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, or the Den
yer & Rio Grande. The Fuel compa-
ny own the Crystal River railroad rum
ing from CarbOndale south along the
Crystal river and into the rich mineral
territory which the river divides. Both
companies have had surveyors in the
field, and the Rio Grande has been do
ing some grading near the mouth of
the canon between Delta and Hotch-
kiss.
The first authoritative announcement
of the Bio Grande's plans was made
yesterday by Manager Herbert upon
his return from the trip Of inspection
over the road taken with General Su-
perintendent Egan.
'1rhe North Fork branch, for which
the contract was let" said Mr.. Her
bert, Twill extend from Delta to Pao-
MIA and points north to reach the coal
fields north of Paonia. 1t will go
through Hotchkiss, the greatest fruit
section of the western slope. We ex-
pect to have the road built as far as
Paonia, forty-five miles, by October
1st. The line will follow the north
fork of the. Gunnison river and work
will begin Immediately from Delta.
The total length, including the line
north of Paonia, will be fifty-five
miles. 1t will eventually be broad
gauge road. There has been talk
whether the Crystal River road or the
Rio Grande would get into the country
there, but conjectures are now at rest,
as we will push the road through with
all speed" tlN
