the steel bow of the ship.
When the vessel finally began to

across the moving bow. There was an
aroma of White Seal in the air and a
bedlam of footing whistles and screech-
Ing sirens, not ceasing until the ship
went into the water with a mighty
splash and floated out into midstream.
Everybody said it was the most sue

applauding and many congratulations

BUSINESS MEN OF DENVER FORM
IMMENSE PROTECTIVE ALLIANCE

meeting plans will be made for combat
ing what the members may regard as
unreasonable encroachment by labor
unions.
When this big union gets its full
membership parade will be given.
This will be the public demonstration
of strength and determination to pro-
tect themselves, which is the object of
the business men in forming the organ
ization
Like the labor organizations, the Cit
izens' Alliance will have central
council. Employers associations will
have one delegate each in the central
body. The council will have supreme
authority. 1t will work for all and it
will conduct all negotiations that may
be necessary to adjust differences be-
tween employers and employees.
Many representative business men
addressed the meeting last night. They
spoke of conditions they called unreas-
enable. Several declared that with
unions everywhere the business men
should organize as matter of self-pro-
lection. Nearly all of the speakers en-
phasized ther point that it was not wise
to oppose legitimate labor unions work
ing on sensible lines. Each declared
that those in which the dictatory atti-
tude seemed to be the ruling spirit
must be curbed for the good of the
community.

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 contendere 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 reopened 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. He said that the men
had suffered much during the progress
of the trial and that they had already
been punished for whatever offense
they might have committed
In a 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 Sadler 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 $1,000 to s1,500

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
Judge Lindsey of the County Court
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 $780, 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 a 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

eral cases in which the defendants are
charged with selling liquor to boys
This is considered grave offense
Judge Lindsey is determined to stop
both if 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 it is high time
that drastic measures were taken tc
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.
81 do not want it understood that
am vindictive in this matter or that
desire to persecute anyone, but the
law against this traffic is plain ant
should be enforced.

HABEAs CORPUS INVOKED.
Frank b, Poor Resists Rcquisition
From New York.


Seattle, Nov. 2S.-Frank B. Poor,
president of the Citizens Light and
Power Company, of Seattle, who is
wanted on charge of grand larceny in
connection with the failure OF the Mar
quand bank three years ago, will fight
his return there by writ of habeas cor
pus.
Governor Mcbride, at Olympia. yes
terday, decided to honor the requisition
of Governor Odell, and Poor's attorneys
promptly obtained writ of habeas COR
pus from Chief Justice Fullerton, of
the supreme court, which will be heard
by Judge Bell, of the superior court of
King county.
Governor Mcbride hesitated to Issue
the writ of requisition and took the
matter under advisement for short
time after the arguments were heard.
He decided to issue it because it was
regular on it's face and he did not con-
slider that under the circumstances he
had any discretion in the matter.
On the hearing the argument in
Poor's behalf rested upon the fact that
ne T6Indlnou III NOW IOIh IOE tWO
years after the banks failure and no
criminal charges of any kind were pre-
ferred against him This lapse of time,
it was urged, ought to acquit him of
the burden of returning in answer to
accusations now. In support of Mr..
Poor's release now it will be argued
that the circumstances show that the
New York parties are seeking to use
the criminal process to collect civil
debt. 1t is claimed that Mr.. Poor not
only remained in New York for two
years after the bank failure trying to
straighten up his affairs, but that he
announced his purpose of coming West
some time before starting. He will
also seek to show that his presence in
Seattle was well known in New York
months prior to the time when the in
dictment was found against him in
New York. 1t will be argued that the
move to indict him was set on foot
shortly after he became president of
the Citizens Light and Power Com
pany.

NOTED CASE SETTLED.
Alaska Copper Company Awarded
the Bonanza Mine.


Seattle, Nov. 30-Judge Wickersbam
OF the United States court at Valdez.
handed down decision Saturday that
confirmed the title of the Alaska COP.
per Company to the immensely rich
bonanza mine, located 100 miles from
valdez, on the Chittyna river, branch
OF the copper river. While it is posi-
ole the Copper River Mining Company,
winch claimed the property, may ap-
peat the case, the Alaska Copper Com
pany will Immediately begin active de-
velopment work on the mine.
The ruling of Judge Wickersham prac.
tically insures the construction of a
railroad from Valdez into the Copper
river country, for the Havemeyers are
the hackers of the Alaska Copper Com.
pany, and have expressed determine
tlno to construct the road if their title
was shown to be clear. The Alaska
Copper Company has good trail lead
ing to its properties and operates sleds
In winter and pack trains in summer.
Even though the property is believed
to be immensely rich, this primitive
method of transportation will not be
tolerated long.
Though the title to the Bonanza
property has been in controversy for a
year and half, the Alaska Copper
Company, organized by the Mcclellan
crowd" which located the Bonanza
mine, has been operating the mine and
pushing development work. The money
spent, however, has been small, be-
cause the Havemeyers have not cared
to risk heavy investment until the
legal fight has been cleared away.
The fight for the possession of the
BONANZA mine has been the most stub
born legal battle ever fought in the
Alaska courts. Not only has the legal
talent on both sides been noteworthy,
but the strenuous effort made by the
plaintiffs to secure testimony to SUBJ
stantiate their claims make the suit ex-
traordinary for that reason. Testimony
has been taken in Pennsylvania, New
York and different parts of the United
States. and two attorneys were even
dispatched to the Philippines to secure
deposition.
The news of the above decision was
received in here Saturday in dispatches
from Valdez.

Cleveland Explains His Statement
Regarding Nomination.


Princeton, N. j., Nov. 30.-Former
President Cleveland, in a statement
given to the Chicago Chronicle, says
his decision not to accepta fourth NOM
nation for the presidency was announ-
ced in order that those who have COM
mitted themselves to him might be
pledge of support. Mr.. Cleveland die
tated the following statement:
81 don't care just now to 60 into de-
tails of the various reasons which
prompted my letter 10 the Book n
Eagle. All 1 care to say is that | de-
layed voicing what was in my mind
until now, for l thought the Demo-
cratic sentiment on the subject would
assume such a complexion as would
make it unnecessary for me to express
my opinion.
"lt seems to me, however, that so
many friends of mine were committing
themselves on the subject, and the ap-
proaching nomination made it matter
o. such serious consideration that l
could with propriety declare the condi-
ton of my mind on the subject.
81 cannot think it necessary to give
in deetail at this time the reasons
which had brought my mind to the
conclusion that these public statements
should be made. 1t must be that these
reasons will occur to everyone who will
give the matter sober and thoughtful
consideration"
