diers, who dragged him to prison as if
ne were an escaped murderer. He was
not attempting to escape and neither
did he attempt to resist the authori-
ties. And as if that were not enough
of an outrage on American citizenship,
the printers who operated the linotype
machines in the Office were also placed
under arrest and cast into prison.
The duties of the printers on the
Record were purely perfunctory in
their nature. If there were Hbelous or
seditious articles printed it is within
the range of possibility that the ma
chine operators did not know of the
fact until the paper was printed. They
performed their duties, which were
mechanical, and they certainly had
nothing to do with the selection of the
matter to be printed. 1t may be that
they were not even in harmony with
the @olicy of the paper. Still a pig

them in his order of arrest and puts
them in Jail.

PUT NEW BOYS TO WORK.
Western Union Is Still Delivering
Messages

Z The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has come out victorious in the
messenger strike and has replaced the
former force with entirely new boys.
Only one member of the messenger
force which was on duty yesterday is
at work today.
That one is VIM. Anderson. Seven
new messengers have been secured. The
boys first announced their intention of
walking out unless their pay was adj
vanced from SIS to SIS per month. last
Monday evening. The date of the walk
out was set for October !.
Wednesday evening Manager u. G.
Carswell called in the messengers and
gave them their wages for September
He asked how many were willing to
continue working at their previous pay.
Several refused and were summarily
discharged.
Two or three boys were willing to re-
main but were induced by the insur-
rectionists to leave their work. The dis
charged messengers say they will annoy
the "scab" messengers until they quit
their jobs.
The discharged messengers have made
a banner bearing the words, Messenger
Boys Strike" which was today dis
played on the state house steps. 1t is
anticipated that the strikers will at
tempt to interfere with the boys who
have been employed in their places but
SO far no serious trouble has occurred

SITUATION AT VICTOR.

The action of the military authori-
ties of Colorado in raiding the office of
the Daily Record and arresting the en-
tire editorial and mechanical force has
no precedent in American history
There have been occasions in time of
war when newspaper offices have been
closed and editors have been arrested,
but this is the first time that the mill
tary authorities have included the
mechanical force in their seizure
The adjutant general of Colorado has
certainly overstepped his authority.
Even in critical times such as exist in
Victor, it is possible for officials to be-
come so arbitrary and tyrannicaI that
they fan into a flame the smouldering
FIRE they are supposed to quench.
If Editor Kyner violated the law,
there are ample provisions in the stat
utes of Colorado for his punishment
by the civil authorities. There was
certainly no reason why his office

1T WORKS ALL RIGHT.
BARRIERS Pleased With Is Cent
Shave Rule.

It's 10 cents today for shave, and
you can take it with or without the
neck trimmings.
OF the extra five cents charge, three
cents goes to the journeyman barber
who does the work. and two cents to
the boss barber in charge of the shop.
The BARRIERS of the city. both union
and nonunion, have entered into this
combine, and they say that when people
get used to it it will be all right. The
movement was started by the union bar
bers but it has proved contagious, and
now the unsuspecting traveller is obHg
ed to pu4 up the extra nickel to have
his countenance scraped.
J. L. Callahan of the firm of Callahan
& Brown says: 1--WE won't have good
chance to know whether people kick
much until Saturday. So far only one
man has made any protest and I think
he was joking. 1t is a fair proposition
that we should get fifteen cents for the
shave. 1t has been customary to pay
10 cents for shine and 10 cents for d
shave, While as a matter of fact, the
shoes while one customer is being
shaved, to say nothing of the special
skill required to shave a man."
w. E. Hutchins says: There is real
ly not much difference in the price of
shave now and previously. If a man
gets shaved twice a week, he usually
has his neck shaved once a week I'M
der the new rule. it will be only 5 cents
d week extra IOT DlI1. ana ne can nave
his neck shaved twice week. All
wages have gone up. and why not the
BARRIERS? We have heard no kicking OH
the new rule"
Z H. P. Miller. formerly president of
the BARRIERS union, says: Every thing
is more expensive now, and it is right
that the BARRIERS should be getting an
increase in their income, too. We don't
hear much kicking on the new charge
Conrad Mayer, one of the oldest bar
bers in town. ana non-union man.
says: "Of course am not a union
man, but as all the other ba-'bers in
town are going to put up the price, I
expect to- do the same. But I will give
you little extra perfumery, and all
that"
W. R. Walker, of the Aseptic barber
shop, says: I'VE have heard no kick
ing on the new charge. It really
amounts 20 very little for each Gus
toner in the course of a year. Even
a regular patron of the barber shops
only has to pay about $3.50 extra a
year. We are at large extra expense
under the rev barber law. Sterilizers
cost from $3.50 to SIS apiece for each
shop

THE COTTON CORNER.
Price Drops 275 Points in the
Market Today.

New York, Oct. 1.-SpeculatiVe cotton
dropped 275 points today over yester-
de<.
Cotton King Brown in talking to a
reporter about his corner. said:
The estimate that I have settled
with shorts to the amount of $4,000
bales is incorrect" said the cotton man;
lit is nearer 100000 bales"
1t was estimated that Mr.. Brown had
made S450,000 profits on the basis of the
$4,000 bale settlement. His profits there
fore are about So 600. 600.
II am glad to discuss the situation, "
continued Mr. Brown. Il want to set
myself clear on matters of interest to
the cotton world. I have been accused
of squeezing the spinners. This is false;
I have only been taking cotton from
SPECTATORS and have been selling it to
SpinneTS. have never unlOaded on the
public and 1 never shall. If the spin
ners and exporters had taken my adj
vice they would be better off today"
What caused the bear element in the
market?" was asked.
There were two causes. The crop
was greatly. overestimated and the con-
SUMPTION. Yves underestimate. IS fsss
my syndicate's corner of cotton diff
fered from any other corner ever car
ried out in the cotton world. In the
first place we own the cotton crop and
when placing it upon the market re-
quired contract from every party to
whom we sold that this particular cot
on the exchanges of this country or
Europe. This in itslef exonerates me
and my syndicate from the charge that
we have squeezed the spinner"
1T, is understood that George H. Nc
Fadden and the spinners were shown
the most courtesy said the reporter.
That is true replied Mr.. Brown
I'VE have done this as far as possible.
We have only asked the market price for
cotton of the spinners.
What are the marginal prOhts?'
Mr. Brown at first refused to answer
this question, but later said
II can not answer that fully or in detail.
/ will say, however, that we bought more
cotton at eight and sold it at fourteen
than we have been credited with
what effect Will this corner have?'
was asked.
at will have very excellent effect in
my opinion. 1t will clear the market and
eliminate this unwise speculation which
has always been a disturbing element.
1T will put the market on a business
basis and run spectators out of business.
1t means the end of cotton speculation"
Mr. Brown was asked who the men
were who are interested in the cotton syn
dictate.
Il can not tell you their Names" he re-
piled. *'but I will say that they are a
party of gentlemen who live in New Or
