WATSON MADE FESTIVE
BY JAIL DISCIPLINE
Complains of Food and Opening of
His Letters.

James NJ. Armstrong Watson. jr., has
broken forth again. Now it is about the
food served him and the impolite meth
cd of the jail officials who open his
mail that he complains. DR.. Shute, the
regular gail physician, is out of the city,
and Watson demanded that DR.. d. Percy
Hickling be called in 10 pass upon his
physical condition. The latter found
him well, with the exception of a tobac-
co heart.
In the matter Of his mail a test case
was made. by the advice of his attorney,
Stuart Mcnamara. day before yesterday
Two letters were sealed, addressed and
stamped, and were delivered to Warden
Harris while Mr.. Mcnamara was pres
ent. 1t was agreed that the matter OF
opening these letters should be referred
to Assistant Attorney General Robb.
The warden and the attorney, therefore,
came TO the city and laid the matter be-
fore Mr.. Robb. The latter announced
that until the letters were actually de-
livered into the hands OF the postal au-
thorities the prison warden could make
such regulations as he desired.
II is understood that as soon as Judge
Gould returns Watson's friends will at
tempt 10 obtain orders governing the
attitude OF Warden Harris to the pris-
oner, with a view TO certain special con-
cessions.

WHITE AND SEGER QUIET
AS TO MONEYS DENIAL
May Be Reminded That It Is Their
Turn to Talk

4. Clark Tonner. Assistant Indian
Commissioner. said this morning that
nothing has yet been heard from Indian
Superintendents White and Seger, who
charged that James Mooney, of the Bu-
reau of Ethnology. and Prof. Dorsey per-
suaded two Cheyenne Indians to torture
themselves at the sun dance.
SIR. Mooney has already filed denial
of the charges. and says that he had
nothing TO do with the torture except
TO witness it after IL was started. The
Indian Office officials are somewhat sur
prised at the delay OF Seger and White
in presenting their proof of the charge
that the scientists paid the Indians to
maltreat themselves, and If they do not
answer in day or two they will proba-
bly, get sharp reminder OF the necessity
for making good their first statements.

TURBINE ENGINES FOR
NEW NAVY SCOUT SHIP
Naval Board Approves Rear Ad-
miral Melville'S Suggestion.

Rear Admiral Melville's suggestion
that one of the new scout ships be
equipped with turbine engines has been
approved by the Naval Board on Con-
struction. This suggestion was made
by Admiral Melville just before his
recent retirement.
On the boards recommendation Sec
retary Moody will probably ask for an
appropriation of $200.O0O for the con-
struction Of a scout ship on the lines in
dieated by Admiral Melville.
Rear Admiral Charles w. Rae the
new engineer-in-chief has evinced the
keenest interest in the development of
the turbine idea as applied to the navy.
He said yesterday that he would do all
in his power to push the work of expert
ment. He has asked Commander John r.
Edwards. who, under Rear Admiral Mel
Vile, did such valuable work along this
line. to remain in charge of the new
experiment. and ia case Congress makes
an appropriation other officers from the
Bureau CT Steam Engineering will be
detailed on the same work.
In his recommendation to the Board
on Construction Rear Admiral Melville
says:
Il respectfully recommend that one of
the new vessels of the navy of not more
than 5000 tons displacement. and prefer
ably of the scout or very fast cruiser
class. be fitted with steam turbines in
stead OF reciprocating engines. My rea-
sons Tor this recommendation are that
the steam turbine has now passed be-
yond the experimental stage, and vari-
Gus vessels in which II has been fitted.

interested. OF course the election
in Prowers county was fair, 80 also
was that in Bacs county, and Mr..
Hillyer had majority in each. There
is little room TO doubt that he also
fairly carried Las Animas county,
but it is against the peculiar and
wonderful canvsssing methods Of
that county that he and his friends
enter emphatic protest. We have
never had such q situation before
because We were only annexed to
that corrupt county by the last fu-
sion assembly. The clerk there can
delay count as long as he pleases,
lose ballot boxes and not find them
again until there has been plenty Of
time to fx them as he wishes, open
them whom the result is unsatisfact
ory and conduct more satisfactory
count, and in various other myster
ious ways do just as he plesses with
the peoples votes. Against having
our elections controlled by such
methods We all protest and the
practically unanimous support of
the party is back Of Mr.. Hillyer.

that the voice Of the committee will
be needed and order brought out Of
the present chaos.
After eight years Of defeat the re.
publican party last fall won an
overwhelming victory and was in 4
position to hold Colorado in line for
years to come, but . few selfish and
designing politicians, who hsye be-
trsyed the party in the past, have SC
manipulated the membership Of the

lican majority and one faction base
ly entered an agreement with the
democratic minority whereby they
have gained few petty clsrkships,
but the democrats have gained q po,
litical advantage Of overshsdowing
Importance.
The senatorship may have been
the original cause Of the trouble, but
the matter has gone far beyond that
now and the main issue at stake now
is the great question Of our constr
tutional form Of government, the
right Of the majority to rule. When
this right is destroyed all party or
ganization is destroyed with it, and
the only true republicans in the leg
islsture today are those who are will
