Another Oil Well Spouter.

The Bradford we'll spouted for
ten minutes "Wednesday evening,
the oil rising in huge column the
!ull distance of the height OF the
derrick, says the Denver News.
This was consequent upon shot
put in az six o'clock. The well
had shown a considerable volume
Of accumulated oil when work
stopped there several months ago.
In the meantime its owners have
been developing rhe Otero well,
one quarter of mile south of the
Bradford. The latter has been
developed into a finely profitable
well of more than 100 barrels a
day capacity and the action of the
Bradford tonight indicates that it
IS to beat that record. The go

and failed to set off the charge OF
100 quarts OF ro-glycerine. 1t
took another hour to get ready for
the explosion by squib. 1t was
80 minutes after the explosion
when the we'll began to spout.
After ten minutes it subsidized and
oil ran over the floor OF the der
rick for long time. Then the
fluid settled to within 400 feet of
the surface. Secretary Gretchen
said this evening that by four
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon he ex-
pected to have pumping going on
at the Bradford. Both the Brad
ford and Otero are owned in La
Junta and Rocky Ford, and are
known as the Watermelon. oil
wells of this belt. Work was re-
sumed on the Citizens we'll today
after an idleness of two months.
1t will now be drilled to a depth
OF $500 or 4, 900 feet, if necessary.
The Wisconsin people are pre-
pairing to build another we'll and
ten wells are now being drilled in
this field.

RECEIPTS ABOUT EVEN.
Rocky Ford csnts Rolling Same Ratio
a. last Year.

II. Woods, OF Chicago, the well
known distributor of high grade
Rocky Ford cantaloupes, received
this year up to September Sth, II9
cars. Last year at that same date
he had received II6 cars. This
shows that Mr.. Woods services
are appreciated by the growers, for
although there is more competi-
ton in the field this year, he has
increased on his last years output
to date and expects to keep up the
pace to the end.
Mr.. Woods believes the amount
that will be handled this season by
the parties now in the field will
vary little from the estimate below.
Lyons & Coggins, OF New York,
$50 cars; II. Woods, of Chicago,
200; +. r. Nichols & Co., Chica-
go, 40; Travis & Young, who are
working on Joint account at Pitts
burg and New York, 90; total $50.
This amount Mr. Woods thinks is
ali that will go out Of the valley to
come east. Last season Mr.. Woods
handled 2oI cars, Lyons & Cog
gins, of New York, as6.
ID. b. Carles who was here re-
Gently in the interest Of growers,
to watch shipments in transit and
ascertain their condition on arriv-
al, made the statement that ship
ments from the valley to Lyons &
Coggins and II. Woods were run
ming just about even. Some days
Lyons & Coggins lad one car
more than Woods, but day by day
the number coming to each was
about even.
II. Woods has attained an un-
rivaled reputation as distributor
of superior grade OF Rocky Ford
cantaloupes. His success lies in
his unexcelled facilities for dis
tributing and his honest methods
in dealing with both growers and
receivers. He has reached posi-
| ton now where he can pick his
associations. He is not compell-
ed to take what any association
chooses to give him in order TO
keep up business. He makes his
selections and takes the pick and
cream OF the associations loading
melons at Rocky Ford.
The Kouhns- Party has been a
standby for Woods from the first
year, when his work was SO salts
factory. 1t is well known that this
combination consists of associa-
tions that take the utmost pains
in growing melons and putting
them up with care for the market.
Woods customers are thus assured
OF always obtaining the genuine
Rocky Ford melons OF the best
quality the season affords. All
these conditions have contributed
to his phenomenal success and
popularity as a distributor with
both the producer and consumer.

Retirement.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 15.-Na-
val Constructor Richmond Pearson
Hobson, who appeared before retir-
ing board a few months ago and failed
to qualify for retirement, will be as
signed to duty shortly by the navy de-
partment. He has been on sick leave
since June last After being rejected
by the retiring beard, Mr.. Hobson ap-
piled for three months sick leave, to
allow his eyes, which had been much
overtaxed and impaired by the sun
glare which attended his work of rails
ing the sunken Spanish vessels, to re-
cuperate.
At the end of that period it was un-
derstood that if the constructors eyes
failed to grow stronger or had become
more impaired. he should be ordered
before another retiring board. Now
that his leave was about expiring, the
navy department. has referred his case

JOHN w. GATES
MEETS WITH DEFEAT
Judge Thayer Orders Discharge of the
Receivers of the Guardian
Trust Company.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 15.-Judge
Amos M. Thayer of the circuit court
today granted the petition of the stock
holders representing Arthur E. Still
well to discharge the receivers of the
Guardian Trust company, appointed
over a year ago at the instigation of
John w. Gates and his following. The
supporters of Mr.. Stillwell, who at the
time the company was thrown into re-
ceivers hands was president of the
company, asserted in their petition to
have the receivers discharged that the
business could be conducted more eco
nomically without them. The Gates
contingent opposed the move on the
theory that Stfllwell desired to merge
the Guardian Trust company into the
Mexican Trust company. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Stillwell will be reinstated as
president.
Judge. Thayer's order authorizes the
receiver to pay immediate direct liabili-
ties to the amount of $199,433, and
make payments of contingent liabilities
to the amount of S31SS0, taking from
the persons holding the contingent
claims agreements extending the time
for theepayment Of the residue.

LIEUT.. PEARY is SAFE;
NOW IN LABRADOR
Sends Dispatches to His Wife and tc
Herbert l.. Bridgman from
Chateau Bay.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Herbert L..
Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arc
tic club, received a dispatch today
from Lieut. r. e. Peary, the Arctic ex-
plorer, dated Chateau Bay, Labrador.
Lieut. Peary says in the dispatch that
he is on his way home on the reliet
ship Windward, and that all on board
are well.
Beyond what is contained in the dis
patch received today Mr.. Bridgman
has no information as to the move
ments of the explorer, who sailed with
his expedition to the north pole July
4, 1898. Mr.. Bridgman left Lieut..
Peary at Cape Sabine on the 29th Of
August, 1901.
The relief ship Windward left New
York in July last to find the Peary ex-
pedition, and has evidently been sue
cessful.
Capt Dedrich was in command of
the Windward. His wife, who lives
at Washington, N. j., today received a
dispatch from her husband giving the
same information as that contained in
the important message sent by Peary
himself to Mr.. Bridgman.

REFUSES A CHARTER
TO SCIENTIST CHURCH
Philadelphia Judge Says He Has No
Power Because 1t Is Corpora
tion for Profit.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. Is
The application for a charter made by
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
was refused today by Judge Arnold in
the common pleas court. In his opin-
ion Judge Arnold says.
1.-THE charter applied for in this case
covers double purpose-a church and
a business. We have power to grant
a charter for church, but we have
no authority to grant charter for a
corporation for profit, that is, busi-
ness corporation"
Continuing the court quotes from the
text book of Mary Baker G. Eddy, in
structions to Christian Scientists to
sell and circulate the publications of
Mrs. Eddy, failure to do the same be-
ing sufficient cause for expulsion from
membership in the church.
'"This shows" says the court. that
the so-called church is a corporation
for profit. organized to enforce the
sale of Mrs. Eddy's books by it's mem-
bers, which is a matter Of business and
not of religion, AS the courts have no
power to charter such a corporation,

the point where the explosion occurred.
The gas and smoke are SO thick that
all rescuing parties have been driven
back. H. Frankenfield, q miner, sue
ceeded in crawling over the fallen coal
and slate after the explosion to the
lights ofethe rescue party, and was TAX
en- out alive, although badly bruised
and nearly suffocated by the gas and
smoke. The explosion is said to have
been caused by an accumulation of gas
catching on fire from the lamp of
miner who was going to work, and this
in turn fired six kegs of blasting pow
der that had been stored back in the
mines
Air Is All Cut Off.
The explosion knocked down all of
the brattices for a quarter Of mile
back towards the main entrance, thus
cutting out all of the air from the men
imprisoned behind the debris.
There was a small gas explosion in
this mine on Saturday last, and Mine
Superintendent A. J. Stuart had per-
sonally cautioned the men who worked
in the mine not to attempt to work
again until the air had been tested
headed by Mine Inspector Cooper, at
tempted a rescue, but were driven back
by the want of air. 1t is now learned
that the coal is burning, and there is
no hope of extinguishing the flames
until a new air passage can be built
to the point of the explosion. Supt.
Stuart has large force of men at
work now, and will make second at
tempt to reach the imprisoned men.
Bodies of Mules Found.
At s o'clock tonight the rescuing par
ty returned from the Algoma mine and
reported that they were unable to
reach the men imprisoned there on
account of the deadly black damp. The
men have succeeded in building air
brattices within fifty yards of the place
where the explosion occurred. The
bodies of the two mules that were
used by the miners when they went
to work today have been found.

PUTS TO ROOSEVELT
A POINTED QUESTION
Wisconsin Methodist Conference Asks
the President if He Recommended
Ireland for Cardinal.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 15.-Pres-
fdent Roosevelt was called upon by the
Wisconsin Methodist conference today
to refute the report that he has asked
the Vatican at Rome to create Arch
bishop Ireland cardinal. By unani-
NOUS vote the conference decided to
send the following letter on the sub
ject to the president:
ellis Excellency, President Roosevelt,
Oyster Bay, l.. I.-Honored Sir-We see
with pain published dispatch contain
ing rumor that the Vatican has re-
ceived from President Roosevelt an In
timation that he would be personally
pleased to see that Archbishop Ireland Is
created a cardinal as a reward for the
services he has rendered the church and
the state. We strongly doubt the cor
rectneSS Of this rumor, for 1T does not
seem possible that the president of the
United States could thus violate the spirit
of the constitution of he United States,
which requires the complete separation
of the church and state, and we hope to
see it authoritatively denied.
Signed by request of the Wisconsin
annual conference Of the Meth Methodist
church. ID. "A. GoodSell,
Bishop and President"
In addition to this resolution, the
conference formally took cognizance of
the coal strike, calling upon congress
to enact such laws as will authorize
the seiZing of coal mines and railroads
in order to prevent such strikes in
the future.

SENATORS GOING
TO OYSTER BAY
Have Been Invited There by the Pres.
ident, but They Don't Know
for What.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Much spec
ulation was caused tonight by the
presence in the city of five of the most
influential members of the United
States senate, all here on their way to
meet President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay tomorrow. The five are Senator
Hanna, of Ohio; Senator Allison. of
Iowa; Senator Aldrich, of Rhode ISL
and; Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin,
and Senator Platt, of Connecticut. The
senators declined to discuss the prob
ability of any particular question COM
dent tomorrow. In fact they said they
knew of no specific reason for the
sending of the invitation to meet the
chief executive at this time.
Senator Allison said: 81 am going
to see the president at his invitation,
but he did not mention that others were
to be there.
Senator Hanna diSclaimed all knowl-
edge of the presidents purpose in call
ing the senators together. II do not
know what subjects will be discussed
at tomorrow's conference" he said.
Asked whether he thought the question
of the coal strike would be one of the
subjects taken up, he said that he could
see no reason why 1t should.
do you think there Is any likeli-
hood that the contentious of the strik-
ing coal miners and the operators will
be submitted to arbitration?p he was
asked.
II see no chance of It," he answered.
II am out of touch with the strike sit
uation, and have been for some time.
At the present time I see no indication
that the National Civic Federation
may be called upon to arbitrate."

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-A movement
Tor enlisting the hosts of workingmen
throughout the United States into
semi political organization has been
launched in this city, says the Post.
A form said to embrace the economical
covering the whole labor situation has
been prepared and will be presented
first for approval next week before the
Chicago Federation of Labor.
The platform demands the abolition
Of the So called political machine, the
establishment of government prima-
ries where votes may be cast flor
nominees as citizens and not as men,
bers of the machine" and the initiative
and referendum. 1t favors the right Of
recalling representatives who are out
Of touch with voters. Relief from
the trusts is suggested in the plan for
''the passage of an amendment to the
practice laws of every state and the
federal government where the litigants
may bring up, in any suit in which
corporation is the plaintiff or defend
ant, the question of it's right to it's
franchise whether it has uSurped pow
er not given it under statute and
whether it has forfeited it's powers"
For Vigilance Committees.
This method, it is urged, would be
productive of more good than the in
stitution of suits by federal district
attorney. Vigilance committees in ev-
cry state and large city are favored to
see that the laws are impartially ad-
ministered. The eight-hour day, SAN
ltary conditions, living wages, the re-
peal of the laws limiting liabilities in
personal injury suits, the supplying OF
free text books to all children in the
lower grades of public schools and the
abolition of convict labor in eompeti-
ton with free men are demanded.
Limitationeon the injunction powers of
Judges is asked and the popular cleo
ton of federal judges and senators is
suggested. In all civil trials majority
verdicts are desired The plan favors
the government instead of banks issu-
Ing all kinds of money, and 1T is sug-
gested that private individuals be driv-
en- from banking business.
In Favor of Public Ownership.
Laws are demanded restricting the
issue of capital stock bonds and Sc
curities to any greater extent than the
actual property owned by corporations
Public ownership of public utilities is
desired and state insurance and pro-
visions for old age are approved Child
labor is decried and educational aids
and trade unionism to keep UP wages
are approved. In closing, the platform
reads:
I'm order to bring about a state OF
harmony instead of constant discord
the workingman must look for reliei
at the ballot box Here, where the
will of the people is supreme, the rem
edy lies at hand and must be taken ad-
vantage of. Workingmen must under
take to govern, as we'll as toll, and in
that way they will get justice"
