ARGUMENTS IN
GORE CANON CASE

Washington, Dec. "A hearing was
given yesterday to attorneys before
Assistant Attorney General Campbell,
at the Interior Department, in the case
of the Denver, Northwestern & Pa
cific railroad versus the New Century
Light and Power Company. The rail
road company was represented by c. j.
Hughes of Denver, and the power com
pany by Mr. Park. also of Denver.
The controversy involves the right
of way through Gore canon. Grand
county, Colorado. The railroad com.
pany claims the right of way through
the canon under an act of Congress
approved March 8. 1875, and the power
company insists that it has superior
right under the irrigation act, which
provides for reservoirs. If the claim
of the power company is recognized
and the canon should be converted
into a reservoir site, the canon would
be flooded and thus made useless for
the railroad company's right Of way.
The distance through the canon is
about six miles.
The case is highly important one,
as recognition of either claim means
much in dollars.
The assistant attorney general.
after hearing the arguments, stated
that he would take the case under i'm
mediate advisement and report as soon
as possible his opinion in the matter
to the secretary of the interior.

an expenditure of 500 1000, 900.

The receivers left for Zion City last
night to take possession of the prop

Denver Dec. "A News special
from Trinidad last night says: To-day
the United Mine Workers officials in
Trinidad have been preparing ciIcu-
lar letter to the coal operators, asking
them to meet the miners who were in
their employ, in conference. without
reference to the officials or organizers
OF the unions.
This letter, a copy of which will be
sent to each one of the operators, is
believed by the officials of the United
Mine Workers to be move in the di-
rection of ending the strike.
There is a growing sentiment on the
part of the miners themselves that the
strike has miscarried in it's purpose,
Ind that the sooner they can get back
- work the better it will be for all
concerned.
A prominent operator stated tonight
that the strike was practically over,
and that the opening Of he mines Is
now only matter of days.

Cotton Mills Cut Wages.

Boston, Dec. 2.-The wages of about
go, 900 cotton textile operatives were
reduced yesterday This addition
brings the total number in New Eng
land whose pay has been cut this
fall to about $4,000. and the cut that
takes effect in New Bedford next Mon
day will swell the total to about 10000
and complete a general reduction in
southern New England cotton mills.
The cut averages ten per cent.
Yesterday practically every cotton
mill in Rhode Island, where there are
about 100000 looms and 100000
spindles, adopted the schedule. In
that state nearly 10000 operatives are
affected and the new order of things
will mean loss of fully 100000 weekly
in wages. The cut also became operative
in mills in Massachusetts and Con-
pecticut controlled by Rhode Island
capitalists and employed about 1000
additional hands.
The reports received to-day indicate
that the new schedules were received
without any serious protest.

was announced that his recent missio,
to New York had proved unsuccessful
financially.
Dowie is known to have accumulated
a large sum as the head OF the Chris
tian Catholic Church the assets being
estimated at between $50 200. 900 and
$50 900 900. There was a large outlay OF
money, however, when Zion City was
started. The lace and candy industries
were started and as both of these ven
lures have not been paying invest
ments, 4 great deal more money was
tied up. Dowies differences with his
brother-in-law. Stevenson, over the
management of the lace factory cost
more than 100000. and other suits re
Gently begun in Lake county by cred
itors are said to aggregate large sum.
Judge Kohlsaat at first refused to
appoint receiver for the property on
the ground that Dowie should have no
tice of so important a proceeding. AZ
ter listening to further account OF
Dowie's affairs from Mr.. Ettelson,
Judge Kohlsaat decided it would be
well to have the receivers appointed
before the property at Zion City should
be dissipated.
The receivers, with their attorneys
and Custodian Relieske, with six depu-
ty marshals, went out to Zion City to-
night to serve upon Dowie the notice
of the receivership. Redieske and his
deputies went to the bank. while the
others called upon Dowie at his resi-

AKRON MURDER
CASE SENSATION

Denver Dec "A Republican spe-
rial from Akron, Colorado, last night,
saws: D. w. Irwin. father OF the
rain-belt region of Colorado was to-
day arrested on a charge of completely
in the murder of Joe Meenan early IN
the present year. Irwin was one OF the
founders of the town of Akron, and
perhaps has a wider acquaintance thah
any other man in eastern Colorado.
Irwins arrest created a sensation
but it was only one OF the stlrring
events of the day here. Court con-
vened this morning, with Judge Arm.
our on the bench. to hear the lrlai Oh
the six defendants charged with the
Meenan murder. This case PROMISES
to be the most sensational trlal ever
held in Washington county, as IL was
expected that the true story Oh the
Meenan-Tuttle-Irwin feud would De oe-
veloped by the evidence.
Last Christmas John Irwin. son OF
D. w, Irwin, was shot and killed ny
Joseph Meenan. The two men were ad-
joining farmers and quarreled over the
Sn.turing of stock. Meenan was also
BIT by Irwin at the same time, put re-
covered in a Denver hospital, anu IVY
months later Meehan was assassiiia!eu
on the prairie near his home. "A le"
DAYS later George |. Tutte weaiths
stock raiser of eastern Colorado, ms
eldest son and four others were arrest

ton. The Tuttles and lrwins are re-
lated by marriage, and Meehaii a

SOUTHERN MINERS TAKE ACTION
TOWARD ENDING COAL STRIKE

men and the strikers is evident, the
former believing that the men will re-
turn to work at the earliest moment,
and many of the miners expressing a
willingness to go to work as soon as
they can.
The holiday feature of. the strike has
worn off the men, who see their earn
ings being eaten up by daily expenses
that they do not have in the camps,
are desirous of making money before
they go broke.
The largest consumers of coal in
Trinidad are having no difficulty in Sc
curing all the fuel they need as fast
as they can use it.
There have been a great many appli-
cations to-day by miners for work in
the mines. In one instance eight ap-
piled to one operator for work.
There were 110 coal diggers working
in the Broadhead mine at Agnilar to-
day The miners out on strike in Ag-
uflar are becoming restless and want
to go back to work at once.

Respecting the statements attributed
! to General Reyes in New Orleans in
terview, that Colombia would send
100 900 men into Panama overland. the
fact is recalled that the instructions
to the United States navy officers on
the isthmus were such that they would
not admit to the neighbOrhood OF the
| isthmus any hostile forces. This was
understood by the officers to mean
that hostile Colombian troops would
not be allowed to enter Panama at any
point, either by water or by land, and
so far there has been no change in the
instructions given to the naval officers
on this point.

Rumors have reached the STATE De-

to Washington is primarily to try to
array opposition senators against the
ratification of the BunauN arllla- Hay
canal treaty. There is also talk of the
formation OF combination Of South
American countries, directed against
the United States. Respecting the
coming of General Reyes to Washing
ton, it is said at the State Depart
ment that much depends upon the ma
ture of his credentials as to the re-
ception he is given. If he is brought
to the department by the Colombian
charge, DR.. Hcrran, he will be accord
ed respectful hearing. But his ac-
tiyities must be confined to lawful
channels as an alien. and any attempt
on his part to influence by direct rep
reservations any other than the execu-
tive branch of the government would
scarcely be viewed with eGuanlmity.

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS-
Three Chief Offenders.

In his memorandum on the postoftice
frauds, President Roosevelt says that
the three chief offenders in the govern
ment service were James NJ. Tyner, as
sistant attorney general for the Post
Office Department; A. w Machen. gen
eral superintendent of the free delivery
system, and George w. Beavers, gen
eral superintendent of salaries and al
lowances. He goes on to say:
The friends of Tyner have ad-
yanced the theory that in his case the
chief offender was really his nephew by
marriage, Barrett, who was his assist
ant in the Office for part of the time,
and that Tyner's offenses are due to his
falling bodily and mental powers. The
facts set forth in Mr.. Bristow's report
do not tend to substantiate the validity
OF these excuses for Tyner, while they
show literally astounding misconduct
in Barrett. For Machen and beavers
no excuse of any kind has been alleged.
In the case of Metcalf, the superinten-
dent of the money-order system, the
most vigorous protests were at first
made on his behalf by a large num-
Der of reputable citizens, and also by
others who were at the time deemed
reputable. but who it has since been
discovered We're protting by Metcalf S
misconduct. One of them has been in
dicted in connection with him. When
these Investigations We're begun, some
nine months ago, many of the chief
offenders who have been indicted or
dismissed, or both, as above enumer-
ated, were considered to have excel
lent regulations. A number of the
most respectable people in the land Of
fered voluntary testimony on behalf OF
Mr.. Tyner. So highly were Messrs.
Beavers and Machen thought of by
these who had been brought into close
connection with them that the Con
eress actually provided at its last ses-
sion for raising the salaries of both.
the salary in each case being increased
$500, to take effect at the beginning OF
the fiscal year on July lst last.
But that date they were both out of
Office, and the department of justice
was taking steps to have them indict-
ed. During Machen's term of service
he was twice Investigated by the Con-
gress, once by a committee OF the Sen
ate and once by Il committee Of the
House, but cleared on each occasion.
| Yet at that very period, as has been
| shown in the present investigation. he
/ was engaged in the corrupt business
| for which he has now been removed
and indicted. This Is no reflection upon
the committees who conducted the in
vestigation; for so skillfully had Mach
en- concealed his wrongdoing that it
/ was only revealed after months OF Ia
rolious and exhaustive work BY
( trained inspectors"
