TAMMEN AND SCHRADER PLEAD
GUILTY OF TRYING TO FIX JURY

you still insist upon entering that
plea of guilty" asked the judge. They
answered In the affirmative. Schra-
der was then called and he, too. en-
tered the plea OF guilty.
When Police Magistrate Thomas
was called Attorney Smith entered the
plea OF nolo contendore for him. This
was accepted by Judge De France
The acceptance of this plea has the
effect OF dismissing the case. but It
may be reopcned at any time by the
prosecuting attorney.
No time was lost by Attorney Tai
bot, who at once asked the court to
pass sentence upon the defendants
who had pleaded guilty Judge De
France had ordered Tammen and Sad
lier to stand before his desk when At
torney Smith interposed with plea
for clemency. lie said that the men
had suffered much during tho progress
OF the trial and that they had already
been punished for whatever offense
they might have committed.
In n few words Judge De France
stated that he had no personal feeling
whatever In the matter and that he
knew but one OF the defendants before
the case had been brought TO him. He
sentenced Tammen and SadlIer to
serve one day in the county jail and
to pay fine OF 500 each. with the
costs OF the suit. a similar sentence
was imposed upon Schrader.
The costs OF the case, exclusive Of
the fees OF the special prosecutors.
will amount to from 81 200 to 1900.

county Jail at Denver and duly en-
tered on the books, but were almost

MUST NOT SELL
TOBACCO TO BOYS

Denver, April 2S.-The action Of
in sentencing two merchants to the
county jail last Saturday, who were
convicted of selling tobacco to boys,
has occasioned considerable comment
throughout the city. The action of
the court is applauded in most quar-
ters, as the use of tobacco among
school boys has become SO general
that it is alarming.
Six cases against merchants.
charged with selling tobacco to boys,
were tried in the County Court last
week. There were three convictions,
the third man being fined 800. In all
of these cases the merchants were ar
rested on information of boys who are
on the probation list of the Juvenile
Court, presided over by Judge Lind
sey. Judge Lindsey has announced
from the bench that he will have but
little mercy for merchants convicted
of this unlawful traffic. The law pro-
vides maximum sentence OF three
months in the county jail or fine not
exceeding 800 in case of conviction.
Under the law both the fine and i'm
prisonment can not be imposed. A
number of complaints are being filed
in the County Court this week. To-
morrow Judge Lindsey will hear sew
eral cases in which the defendants are
charged with selling liquor to boys.
This is considered a grave offense.
Judge Lindsey is determined to stop
both II possible. He yesterday said;
"If one-half of the complaints that
have been made to me of the illegal
selling of tobacco and liquor to boys
are based on fact, then 1t is high time
that drastic measures were taken to
stop the traffic. The selling of liquor
to boys is not so prevalent as the sell
ing of tobacco, but the traffic is going
on and the guilty persons should be
made to feel the hand of the law.
"I do not want 1t understood that
am vindictive in this matter or that
l desire to persecute anyone, but the
law against this traffic is plain and
should be enforced.

Denver. April ga Republican
special from Golden last night says:
In the District Court here to-day be-
fore Judge De France. II. II. Tammcn.
Robert Schrader and Daniel j. Sad
lier pleaded guilty to the chnrge OF
embracery. A plea Of nolo contendere
was entered by Police Magistrate w.
], Thomas, who was charged with n
similar offense. The pleas OF the de-
PENDANTS are practical admissions OF
attempting to bribe the jury In the An
derson case in the West Side criminal
court nearly two years ago.
The three defendants who pleaded
guilty were sentenced TO pay fine OF
800 each and to serve twenty-four
hours in the county Jail Of the city and
county OF Denver. They Will also pay
the costs of the suit. The pleas of the
defendants were entirely unexpected.
and there were but few people in the
court room at the time.
The formality OF reading the indict-
ment was waived by Attorney Milton
Smith. Tammen and Sadlier came for
ward and stood before the Judge. Mr..
Talbot, addressing the defendants,
said: Mr.. Tammen aud MIR. Sadlier.
you are charged with the offense OF
embracery. Are you guilty or not
guilty?"
For a moment Tammen hesitated
and then with downcast eyes and
flushed face he answered slowly but
distinctly. Guilty" Sadlier made a
similar answer. The two men were
about to walk to their seats when they
were recalled by Judge De France,
who informed them that the plea Of
guilty had practically the same effect
as conviction of the offense. do

Fair Play for Small Shippers.
Chicago. April 2s.-Judge Grosscup
has entered an order In the United
States Court OF Appeals enjoining six
railroad companies from discriminat-
ing against small shippers in the west
ern territory, The decision Is espec-
tally important as being the first under
the new Eiklns law.
The decision holds that the govern.
ment has the right to bring an action
In equity to restrain railroad compan-
les from discriminating either by fur
nishing lower rates or giving rebates
TO favored shippers. II further de-
clnres that while each injured citizen
has a right TO such relief In It's own
behalf. in cases like those under con-
sideration. the injured persons are SO
numerous and the injury to each is so
infnitessimal that It is the duty Of the
government to act for them under the

JAPANESE TO TEACH CHINESE.
IL Adopted By Imperial Uni
versity at P0gxlng.

Owing to the hostility Of the govern
ment to the employment of qualified
native reformers or western foreign
ers, it has been decided to adopt the
japanese language at the Imperial uni
versity at Picking, Only japanese will
be employed as instructors. This fact
and the policy of economy in connec-
tion with the university have excited
bitter criticism from the party favor
ing native tra~nslations of works on
western sciences. The teachers are
opposing the rude japanese transla-
lions of these works which are flooding
China.

with the difficulties arising from the

KILLING OFF GAME BIRDS.
Cold storage system Assists In \
determination of the wild
Fowls OF the Country.

The Audubon society of Missouri
calls attention anew to the fact that
cold storage is fastening the extermi-
nation of wild animals. Congress has
passed a law regulating the traffic and
shipment of birds and game, but inn
mense seizures by government officers
show that the statute is extensively
violated.
It is now held by persons who have
given special attention to the subject
that the only sufficient remedy is to
prohibit the sale Of all game. 1t has
been ascertained by the Audubon so
ciety of Missouri that within the past
IS years song and insectivorous birds
in Missouri have decreased 62 per cent.
and game birds over so per cent. Last
year one seizure in New York included
$4,000 game birds and $4,000 song birds.
In Chicago $4,000 game birds were
seized and a whole car load of quail
was captured in Indian territory.
Game and song birds are going fast and
the proposition to stop their sale en-
tirely gains supporters fast.

CROWNS AMERICAN GIRL.
Mr.. Caroline p. wallace, After Cir
cling the Globe, Declares Our
Women Excel All Others.


"The American girl is the mostbeau-
tiful on earth. Her fullness Of health
and vigor and spirit command the adj
miration Of both sexes all owe the
world, while Indian girls are shriveled,
wrinkled and ready to die at 49,"
In these words Mrs. Caroline p. Wal
lace, who has made a study Of the
women Of every quarter Of the globe,
crowned the American girl asqueen Of
her kind, and pleaded for help in the
effort being made TO restore childhood
to the Indian children who are forced
into wifehood at ages at which the
American child is playing with her
china doll.
Mrs. Wallace was speaking at a meet
ing Of the Chicago section Of the Indo-
American Woman's Restoration league,
held at the Palmer house.
These splendid girls are the mothers
of the nation, and their influence on
affairs is immeasurable continued the
speaker.
Now think of this beautiful Ameri-
can girl having been a wife for ten
years at n, just as she is on the TIRES
hold Of young womanhood. Think Of
this and you will have a picture of the
Indian woman at is. But many of the
Indian child wives do not live to be
even is. Many more are wrinkled old
grandmothers at 20. At 25 those who
have survived their long years Of
agonized wifehood have not even a
remnant of beauty or symmetry of
figure left.
"The Indian widow is q social out
cast. She is blamed for the death of
her husband. She is everybody's slave.
To marry her would be to lose your
caste. They think mothers-in-law are
bad enough over here, but in India the
child wife is the servant, the slave of
the mother-in-law. The Indian wife
is her husbands slave; the American
wife is her husbands peer in most
things. The Indian husband is wor.
SHIPPED by his wife as her god; the
American wife is often called divine
by the devoted husband"

SOFTCORE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invaIids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to dc
