CHINESE PREPARING FOR WAR

st. Petersburg, Dec. 29-The Russian

This has grown SO serious as to come

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH
OF TIMBER STOLEN in COLORADO

Denver. Dec. 25.-The News this
morning says: Startling revelations
concerning wholesale theft Of timber on
public domain extending through long
term of years in Summit county of this
state have been made known through
the efforts of special government in
spector who has discovered the bare
faced theft of million dollars. worth
Of timber and has confiscated property
estimated at 100000 from the posses
sion of one of the many perpetrators of
similar denudation of the public for
ests in the vicinity of Dillon.
The inspectors own story Of the
hardships he was forced to undergo
while unearthing the gigantic depreda-
tions in the heart Of the state as re-
lated at the federal building yesterday,
are most interesting:
Not many weeks SINCE" said he,
information was received concerning
operations in the Summit county for
ests which would warrant a thorough
investigation. Expecting an ordinary
case of forest destruction, set out inn
mediately. After reaching the end of
the railroad line at Dillon I tramped
around in the knee deep snow in the
heavy forest with the mercury at twen-
ty below zero. Instead of finding mere
ly the one case I expected, there was
evidence at hand to warrant $50 invest
tgations.
For years denudation has been al
lowed to go on with more or less reg
ularity and without molestation. In
the immediate region probably $2,000,-
900 or 100000 worth of timber has
been cut and shipped within a COM
paratively short period. II the parties
responsible were saving people they
should have amassed $1,000 900 at Dill
lon alone. AS far as the eye can see
from the car windows nothing but the
stumps OF felled trees were visible.

Gilpin observer., 1903-12-31

"The felled timber, including that
loaded on cars for shipment, sawmill
>and appurtenances. I seized. and made
a claim for money due to the trespass-
ers. The property confiscated at this
one plant at Dillon, where twelve men
were working, will probably foot up
100000 when the estimate Is COM
pleted,
THAT the depredations were extern
sive and extended over long period,
Is evinced by the fact that examina-
ton Of the available books showed that
for ten months. during the past year.
one firm alone had shipped by rail for
ty carloads of timber, which probably
was not one-tenth Of the entire amount
felled. No later than last winter, l am
told, whole acre Of ground was COW
cred with timber which is believed to
have been felled on public domain and
shipped to paper mills.
1.-THE peculiar fact Is that the parties
accused Of denuding public forests and
appropriating the proceeds to their pri-
vate profit have been so accustomed to
freedom from molestation that they re-
gard the appearance Of dealers on a
small scale as an intrusion on their pre-
serves, and the poor man with fam
lily to support who, mayhap, is con-
strained to cut an insignificant amount
OF timber to save his flesh and blood
from freezing, Is likely to be discoun-
tenanced and oppressed.
"Now that the result Of the investi-
cations are made public. increased in
terest in the preservation Of the public
forests throughout the state is antici-
pated, especially on the part OF
those public spirited individuals who
have previously shown interest in this
important matter which SO vitality af-
fects irrigation problems and the agri-
cultural interests OF the state"

ange Free State in espousing the Trans
vaal cause with the result of losing it's
freedom and making the campaign
doubly easy for the English.
In diplomatic circles China's attitude
is also topic of constant interest, the
view taken being that if Russia is at
tackled by two powers. according to the
terms of the Franco-Russian alliance,
France must come to the aid of her
ally, following upon which nothing
could stop England from coming in, as
she is bound to do by the recent treaty,
should Japan be attacked by more than
one power.
After that the possibilities of fur
ther international complications are
unlimited. Such is the talk of to-day.

MERRY CHRISTrlAS
IN A COURT ROOM

Denver. Dec. 26-One Of the most
unique celebrations in this city. or in
the world. yesterday. was that OF
Judge Ben B. Lindsey and his boys"
The Judge had fully 200 little chaps.
members of the Juvenile family. in the
County Court room. which was profuse-
ly decorated. and>~in which q hugo
Christmas tree. teeming with presents.
took the place Of tho attorneys table
directly in front Of the judges bench.
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning the
scene in the room was the most re-
markable in the history Of Yuletide
festivities.
Instead of the judicial dignity which
usually pervades the court room. there
was the delightful abandonment Of all
conventi0nalities. and the place rang
with the laughter and whistling Of the
200 healthy youngsters. of whom the
Judge has charged himself to make
creditable men. The boys were treat
ed to q little vaudeville entertainment
and then were given all kinds Of toys
and goodies. also clothing. and . bright
new half dollar. And Judge Lindsey
was Just as much Of = boy ~ any OF
them.
George Billings sang several solos
which seemed to appeal to the boys
decidedly, as he was applauded very
enthusiastically by them and encored
several times.
Judge Lindsey extends his thanks to
all the newspapers and tho merchants
that helped make possible the celebra-
tion In his court yesterday.
The carrying out of that celebration
yesterday was only characteristic Of
Judge Lindsey. In his work of boy re-
demption he has originated many ways
of appealing to the little chaps. and
when he hit upon the idea that .
Christmas tree In the court room Of .
great community would be q novelty.
he at once began to work the idea out.
And he succeeded admirably. He HIM
self said that he had never heard Of .
similar celebration.

JUDGE HALLETT

Denver, Dec. 25.-Serious charges

United States Discount Court, and ex-
ecutor of the last will and testament
of George w. Clayton. deceased. are
contained in brief filed in the Court
Of Appeals yesterday by Miss Mary F..
Lathrop, attorney, who is opposing
Judge Hallett's effort to be discharged
as executor of the estate until she can
secure q settlement OF a claim of $780,
900 against Judge Hallett and the es-
tate for legal services alleged to have
been performed.
Miss Lathrop AYERS that Judge Hal.

he has violated the law In several in
stances. and that he has dissipated
some Of the funds left by the deceased
for the express purpose of founding .
home for orphans and poor children
in Denver. She charges. further.
that he has paid himself sums Of
money to which he was not entitled un-
der the law.
Miss Lathrop wants the Court Of
Appeals to take original Jurisdiction.
as its perogatives permit, and to call
in the attorney general of the state
in behalf Of the people in considering
the Clayton will. She says that Judge
Hallett was negligent In failing to call
Attorney General Miller into the case.
The court Is also asked to remove
Judge Hallett as executor, instead OF
discharging him, as ne petitions. be-
cause Of his alleged failure to admin
lister the estate according to law. and
TO compel him to repay to the estate
all sums of money which he may have
appropriated to his own use.

fort to be discharged In the court be-
