trict Court yesterday decided to call a
special grand jury for the April term

various abuses alleged to exist with.
in this jurisdiction" The public of
fenses" alleged to have been commit
ted refer to the charges recently made
of the practice of polygamy in this city
and county.
Recent statements in the press to

SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS
MAY BE CALLED BY PRESIDENT

said that so strong is this desire. he
even has considered the advisability Of
calling the Congress into extraordinary
session this spring. II the Senate
should permit the Cuban treaty to fail
through lack of quorum. That. how
ever is a contingency which he consid-
erS improbable.
The belief of the President and Of his
advisers is that the Senate will take
definite action on both the Panama ca
nal and Cuban reciprocity treaties at
the present extraordinary session. As
surances to that effect have been re-
ceived from the leaders of the Senate.
The President believes, also, it can be
said. that the work of the Senate will
have been accomplished by the last of
next week. Further than that the
President holds himself free" to call
an extraordinary session of the Fifty
eighth Congress, nothing has been de-
termined.

ria, Prince and Princess Charles of

in the regular royal box.
A tea room. hung with old gold vel
vet and decorated with flowers, was at
the back Of the special royal box, and
there the king and queen and their
party had tea at the close of the per-
formance. Their majesties afterward
visited the Indian camp, where Col
Cody was presented to them. Col.
Cody and Maj. Burke then escorted
the royal party through the settle
ment, where the rough riders were
drawn up in a double line. The king
conversed intimately with Col. Cody,
commenting on the various styles of
horsemenship. AT the center of the
camp two tiny Indians presented to
the queen bouquets. She took these
flowers and, kneeling down, shook the
little brown hands and patted the
children's cheeks. The Indian chill
dren afterward presented to the young
princess clay pigeons.
King Edward asked for Baker,
whom he knew when Prince of Wales
and Johnny" Baker was presented

Denver March 14.-The News pub
fishes the following:
Harry Hokasono is under contract to
furnish the sugar beet growers of
Greeley 200 Japanese laborers by April
Goth He is introducing his people TO
Ihe Colorado beet fields in order that
they may become future renters. Their
ability was demonstrated last year at
Rocky Ford. No labor will he i'm
ported.
MIR. Hokasono is anxious to have 1t
understood that his plan in no wise
interferes with American labor and
that 1t does not contemplate importing
contract labor from Japan.
'Our government is very particular
mot to permit its people to invoke
American displeasure In the matter of
labor" Mr.. Hokasono said. land we do
not want to do anything to excite
American labor. Our government is
anxious to preserve the good under
can government and we will never
knowingly do anything that would
cause us to lose the good favor which
We now enjoy"
Last year Mr.. Hokasono had twenty
Japanese laborers brought to Rocky
Ford to show the sugar beet companies
what his people could do. His friend.
Nishimura, worked with them as their
foreman. The japanese did not make
much money, but they impressed the
manufacturers SO much that they axe
now willing to rent as much land to the
japanese as the clever little people de-
sire, and they readily admit that as
laporers they are far superior to Mex
leans or Indians. This year Mr. Nishi-
'mura has rented thirty acres of land.

HAS DECIDED ON
GUNNlSON TUNNEL

Washington, March 14.-Secretary
Hitchcock of the Interior Department
has granted authority for the acquisi-
ton Of necessary property, rights OF
way, etc, prior to the construction Of
irrigation works in five localities.
These projects are:
Colorado, Gunnison tunnel.
Wyoming, Sweetwater dam.
Montana, Milk river.
Nevada, Truckee.
Arizona, Salt river reservoir
These projects are. estimated to cost
$7.OOO,OO and will provide for the ir-
rigation of about 100000 acres of arid
land.
In addition thereto, the Gray Bull
reservoir project is to be taken up i'm
mediately. This is in Big Horn coun-
ty. Wyoming, where at low cost irriga-
ton works can be constructed to irri-
gate large area of valuable govern
ment land. This project was selected
by President Roosevelt, who was con-
WINGED of its feasibility and OF the ad-
vantages it offers of low cost and early
construction.
The construction of all remains sub
ject to the feasibility of obtaining the
necessary rights and the adjustment OF
private claims in such manner as to
comply with the act approved June H.,
1902.
The authority granted relates to the
projects upon which the examinations
have been made in sufficient detail to
justify estimates of cost and results.
Several others, in other states, are we'll
advanced as regards investigation, and
it is expected that further recommend
ations can be made after the close Of
the called session.
The secretary has also authorized
the expenditure. during the present
calendar year, of s450,000 on surveys,
borings for foundations and other eX-
aminations. which will be carried on
in all of the states and territories in
,cluded within the provisions Of the
law.

Washington. March 14.-It can be
stated by authority that President Roose-
welt has not definitely made up his
mind to call an extraordinary session
of the Fifty-eighth Congress. He, how
ever. is considering the practicability
of doing so.
When he was informed that it was
the intention of the Senate to so amend
the Cuban reciprocity treaty as to rem
der action upon it by the House of Rep
resentatives necessary to make it eff
fective, he informed some members Of
the Senate that he would hold himself
free to call an extraordinary session Of
the Congress in order to secure action
on it. No definite time was mentioned
by the President for the melting OF the
extraordinary session.
The President is much in earnest in
his desire to have the Cuban treaty rat
ified and make it effective. 1t can be

them To this end he has just closed
an agreement with the manufacturers

much labor and study he finished pre-
paratory course and obtained two years

capital. He has since devoted his enef-

Piccyune: l have taken the
liberty tc request You to publish the
unbiased opinion of one who has very
nearly travelled over the whole State
within the past two months. am a
drummer and not politician and
from close observation and converse
tion with all classes of people, can
safely say that the people of Louisi-
ana, by large majority, favor the
1Yo[nination of Gen. Leon Jastremski
Das Governor Of the State. Whole
communities, whole wards, in mary
places, are solid for him. To an in
telligent person, all indications point
to a tremendous Jastremski landslide.
If the Blanchard people do not know
this, they have lost their reason, or
are only pretending to be ignorant of
self-ev ident facts. How Judge Blanch-
ard can secure the gubernatorial nom-
inatiOn in the face of such tremendous
and unwavering opposition is more
than any one can say. The people
are for JastremSki, and the politician,
usually a mere handful of them in the
parish seats. favor Blanchard. This
is the situation in Louisiana to day.
