cLEHENCY OF
PARDONS BOARD

Denver. Dec. 17.-Iibrado Mora, who
has been more or less before the public
since 1891, when he was condemned to
death for murder, last night had his
sentence committed to twenty-five
years. which with good behavior Will
let him out of the penitentiary in 1904.
The Mexican was sentenced from Park
county for the supposed murder OF a
man whose body was found under some
bushes in the sheep country. he was
seventeen years old then, and had Deen
up among the sheepmen shearing wool
with an older and very wicked looking
fellow countryman. When the latter
body was found Mora was suspected,
as he was wearing pair of overalls too
large for HIM Carededo, the other
Mexican. was shot while resisting ar
rest, but before he died exonerated the
boy from all connection with the crime.
He was convicted, nevertheless, and in
1894 his sentence was cOmmuted to life
imprisonment.
Since then six attempts have been
made to obtain pardon for him, the
grounds being his good behavior. eX-
treme youth. previous good character,
and the strong recommendation of Fred
Walsen and other influential men. His
mother, whose only child he is, goes to
the prison every day and sits under an
old tree, gazing all day long at the
prison walls. On visiting days she al
ways goes to him.

GOMPERS BEFORE
THE COMMISSION

Scranton, Pa. Dec 17.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the mine work
ers announced Monday that they had
closed with the exception of calling
one more witness. the entire two ses-
sions of the strike commission yester-
day were consumed in hearing three
witnesses for the men. They we're John
c. Haddock, an individual operator;
Rev. Dr. Peter Roberts, who is assist
ing the miners. and President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor.
The principal point in Mr.. Haddock's
testimony was that he favored giving
the mine workers concessions under
certain conditions. Mr.. Haddock ex-
planned that the miners ton, which
runs from 200 to 3,200 pounds, was
fixed years ago so that the employer
could get out of the ton 2,240 pounds
of pure coal above the size of pea. Pea
coal and all sizes below that was waste
This waste is now being utilized.
Mr.. Gompers testified as an expert
on the trade union movement. He Gre
ated a stir when he strongly implied
during his examination that the coal
companies are responsible for bringing
immigrants to the coal regions. When
one of the lawyers for the coal compa-
MES asked him if he knew it from per-
sonal knowledge, he said he could
prove it if necessary.

BOYCOTT HELD
TO BE ILLEGAL

Denver, Dec. ia News special
from Telluride yesterday says:
Judge Theron Stevens this morning
decided against the Miners Union in
the Glazier boycott case, argued before
him a few months ago. The union had
boycotted the restaurant conducted by
James Glazier because he was patron
iZing the Telluride Journal. upon which
a boycott had previously been placed.
The union placed pickets at the res
taurant. whose duty it was to inform
patrons of the place that it had been
,boycOtted.
Glazier applied to County Judge
Wardlaw for an injunction restraining
the union from having pickets at the
restaurant, claiming that they greatly
interfered with his business The in
junction was granted and the union did
not send representatives to make any
defense. Nearly three months ago John
Murphy. attorney for the union, argued
before Judge Stevens for a dissolution
of the injunction. E. c. Howe and H.
M. Hogg argued for Glazier and the
matter was taken under advisement.
The substance of the decision of the
court is contained in the following par
agraphs:

features of the Indiana and the Illinois
statutes. 1t proposes that the aggrieved
party to the agreement may compel the
other party. through the Circuit or the
County Court, to show cause why he
has failed to keep the agreement and i'll
order to compel compliance with the
agreement the court may punish the
faith-breaker for contempt by fine or
lin cases of Willful and contumaciOus
disobediencc" by imprisonment.
No direct suggestion Of compulsory
arbitration is made. but the amend
ments, if adopted, would leave un-
changed the provisions of the present
law that wherever a strike or lockout
is threatened anywhere in Colorado it
shall be the duty of the board to in
quire into the causes of the contro-
versy" subpoena witnesses and so
forth. This section the attorney gen
eral accounted nullified by conflicting
provisions. which are amended.
The value of compelling testimony,
the report sets forth, is that it will aid
in clearing away MISUNDERSTANDING,
in making, for instance, an employe
see by indisputable proof that his en-
ployer cannot grant an advance,
whereas he might not take his en-
ployer's unsupported word It's value
in creating public opinion. which is
recognized as an influential factor in
bringing about the settlement of diff
culties, is mentioned also. 1t tends al
SO toward compulsory arbitration in
making effective. inquiries begun at
the request of only one party to a dis
pute.
The boards final recommendation is
that the salaries OF the three members
of the board. which now total $1,000
year be increased, if it's powers are
increased, so as to make it possible for
competent persons to devote their
whole time to the work.
The report gives detailed accounts
of disputes which it has been called
upon to settle. including much of the
correspondence connected with them,

tion law. 1t is succinct and direct. COW

THE SALVATION ARMY COLONY
in SOUTHEASTERN COL LORADO

Denver. Dec lin an interview at
the, Albany hotel in this city Col. Ed
ward Higgins, an officer of the Saliva
tion Army. with headquarters in New
York, said:
"Amity colony. in Prowers county,
now boasts Of fifty or sixty families,
all of whom are self-supporting and
happy, living in happiness and amity
The colony was started four years
ago. We bought 5000 acres of well
irrigated land in Prowers county, stu
ated on the Arkansas river. and divid-
ed the same into ten and twenty-acre
plots. On these we erected some
cheap yet habitable cabins. Then we
looked for men with families who
were anxious to give up the unhealth-
ful existence Of city life for life in the
country. We wanted men who knew
little about farming and were willing
to learn more. 1t was an effort to help
the married men with an incubus We
advertised for men of this class and
had little trouble in finding as many as
we could help. 1t was an expensive
project and we were only able TO help
a dozen families the first year. To
these we gave such aid as was neces-

only four years have elapsed some OF
these very poor men have paid on
their entire Indebtedness, built hand

The money and interest We have
received from these first cOmers has
not been allowed to remain idle. 1t
was put to use at once with the result
that we have upwards of fifty happy
and contented families at Amity. We
have provisions already for 800 fami-
lies, and when these are exhausted
we will be in financial condition to
procure more land and continue the
extension of the scheme.
We have established fine schools.

Denver, Dec E5.-Amendments to
the present law, 10 give the STATE board
of arbitrator power to enforce obedi
.ence to its subpcenas. to cause the pun
dshment fer contempt of witnesses who
ref,lse to testify, to enforce itsdecisions
'and to keep them in force for a definite
time. are ths principal recnmmenda
tions made in the biennial report sub
mitted TO the governor by John F. Har-'
ley, secretary of the board. The report
details the methods used by other
states TO make arbitration laws effect
i've, urging the need of action by the
next Legislature in view of the coming
enormous industrial growth of the
state
The present law the attorney gen
eral thinks unconstitutional in one pro-
vlsion-that comforting the power of a
court upon it. since the constitution
provides that the judicial power of the
state is vested solely in the courts, and
y decision in an Indiana case, quoted
declares that board cannot be a court
The amendment to remedy this de-
feet and to get around the obstacle pre-
sented by the constitution is combi-
nation of the statutes adopted in In
diana and Illinois to cover similar
cases. Instead of giving the board the
powers of court as does the present
act, the amendment proposes that in
case witness should refuse to aban-
don summons or to testify, the board
may call on the County or the Circuit
Court to issue an order requiring the
recalcitrant to appear and testify and
OF course. should he fail to obey. the
court, he would be liable to punishment
for contempt.
The second amendment proposes that
the agreement entered into between
contending parties through the media
tion of the arbitration board shall be
binding for year. or until either party
shall give ninety days notice of inten-
tion to terminate it.
The third change suggested proposes
the punishment Of either party to an
arbitration agreement who may break
faith within the time specified by the
second amendment. Like the first
amendment this is combination of
