DENVER BUSINESS MEN ARE
TRYING FOR ARBITRATION

Denver, May 19.-The Republican
this morning sums up the strike situa-
ton as follows;
This morning committees from the
printing trades and business interests
will endeavor to secure a settlement of
the labor strike through arbitration.
AT meeting yesterday afternoon,
attended by fifty people it was decided
to use every effort to get the labor lead
ers and the leaders ON the employers
side to accept arbitration. and COM
mittee was named to wait on these.
This committee did not succeed in get
ting the two elements together. but the
preliminaries We're gone about and
there is hope. What is desired is to
have the executive committee of the
labor unions agree to arbitration with
board chosen from that committee
or the unions 1t represents and from
the Citizens Alliance or whoever that
body may designate. All other efforts
at arbitration have failed. The State
Board of Arbitration can do nothing
unless the two sides agree and an
agreement for It to serve is believed to
be out of the question.
"A large amount of business was
transacted in the city yesterday with
out the semblance of trouble. Ordinary
affairs were being conducted as If no
strike were in force, and although the
labor leaders claimed that 1000 persons
were ordered on strike, the indications

There is in Russia. as In Germany

that the Jews will not work in the field
or engage In agriculture. They prefer
to be money lenders. Give n jew Il

when the patience Of the peasant Is ex-

ants and Jews occurs. Ordinarily the
Russian Is a very patient person, but
II is only natural that he should en-
tertain such feeling of resentment

Emperor Nicholas l. sought TO help
the Jew by ordering the establishment
Of agricultural colonies In southern
Russia, hoping to induce the Jews TO

OF money lending. but The effort was
unsuccessful; nor have other projects

The situation In Russia. so far as
the Jews are concerned. is this: II is

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Land Office Collections.

Bondsmen who are sureties for per-
sons who have bought or leased state
lands and are delinquent, may find
themselves defendants in suits brought
by the state for collection of long over
due sums. If principals or bondsmen
are not good the land board will re-
claim thousands of acres.
A compilation of the delinquent list
has not yet been completed in the state
land office. Those who have worked
on the books have found, however, that
the total due the state on account of
bad bookkeeping and carelessness in
enforcing collections during the last
ten years amounts to more than $780,
600. Some of this has been collected.
Some peculiar conditions have been
uncovered in examining the inadequate
records. These show that in n large
number of cases leases or sales were
made, but only one installment was
paid All of this time the land had
remained idle because it appeared as
occupied and the state has lost thou
sands of dollars that can never be re-
covered.
In some of these cases the land
board will be able to recover. Bonds
men who have not left the state and
are property holders can be sued If the
principals are not able to make good
the delinquencies. When the big task
of making list of the delinquents is
completed the board will probably be-
gin suits In oil cases In which there is
chance to recdSer'
For many of the delinquents bare
notice to come in and settle has been
sufficient Register Woodruff expresses
himself as very well satisfied with the
progress so far He believes that near
ly the entire amount of the delinquen-
cies will be collected, excepting. of
course, such claims as are held against
spectators and their bondsmen who
cannot be found
The register says that the collections
from delinquents show a gratifying in
crease. He has heard from many who
have announced themselves ready to
make an arrangement for final settle
ment.
In collecting the accounts long over
due the board is trying to avoid work
ing hardship on any who are inclined
to be fair. Some of those owning large
sums say that they have not paid up
because the crops were poor for several
years. These are given a further
chance if they evince desire to settle,
Holders of state lands who do not re-
spond to the request of the board will
find themselves deprived of the prop
erty they have bought on installments
or leased The board Is determined to
clear the records and to obtain DOsses-
sion of every foot of land to which it
is entitled. This will bring into the
possession of the state many sections
that have been practically abandoned
for long time and 1t will also have
the effect Of ousting tenants who do
not pay their rent.

AT meeting of the Citizens AL
lance last night 1t was stated by the
officials that the backbone of the strike
had been broken, thus early, deducted
from the number of businesses that
had resumed with large staffs, which
were idle or all but idle week ago.
THE building trades are slack on
account of lack of full forces in all de-
partments, but the contract between
the Master Builders Association and

Military Poll Tax.

Steps to enforce the collection of the
military poll tax will be taken immedi
ately by Adjt. Gen. Sherman Bell, who
says that the military fund should re-
ceive $4,000, instead of the paltry sum
that is regularly turned over to the
state treasurer. If necessary the adju-
tant general will invoke the law
against county treasurers who fail to
collect the tax.
Within few days every county
treasurer will be notified by the adju
tant general that he is expected to col
ect 81 for the military fund from ev-
cry able-bodied mar in the state of
military age and not exempt. The law
bearing on the question will be quoted
and the treasurers Informed that they
must do their duty or suffer the CON
sequences.
Under the law governing the poll tax
all Of the money should be paid by
March list. County treasurers are
charged with the duty of collecting the
tax If they find it impossiblee it is
their duty to certify lists of delin-
quents to the county attorney, who
must sue for n fine and the tax.
Politics have been allowed to inter
fere in the collection of the tax" said
the adjutant general yesterday. That
is not right, for it has left the military
department of the state without sutii-
cient money. am determined that the
tax shall be collected from every man
who is liable. and will see that it is
paid, This is the duty imposed upon
me by the law" .
The law provides that the adjutant
general may proceed to attend to the
collection himself, if he finds that the
county treasurers are not doing their
duty. General Bell says he will cers
talnly take this step if there is no other
way in which the state is given proper
treatment by the county officials.
A number of exemptions are made by
the law. Judges and clerks of court
are exempt, as are members of fire and
police departments. Persons OF re-
ligious belief that prohibits military
service are exempt. Physical disability
exempts, as does five years of service
in the national guard. Hospital at
aches and physicians and railroad con-
ductors and engineers are not required
to pay.
