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
$10O 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-
,tnent was waived by Attorney Milton
~sjmith. Tammen and Sadlier came for
ward and stood before the judge. Mr..
Talbot, addressing the defendants,
said: "Mr. Tammen and Mr.. Sadlier.
you are charged with the offense of
embracery. Are you guilty or not
guilty?"
For moment Tammen hesitated.
and then with downcast eyes and a
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 a conviction of the offense. DO

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

STATE LAND BOARD WILL HAVE
TO SETTLE RANGE QUESTION

question. In these counties the cOndi-
tions are the same as in other sections,
and the problem has gradually mar
rowed down to whether the big com
panies shall continue to exist or the
day of the small stock raiser has ar
rived. #
Former land boards did not deal
with the question in satisfactory
disputes have arisen. Therefore the
land Office records show any number
of undecided cases in which there were
two applicants for the same ground.
The stock associations of the state
have taken action in expressing them
selves on the question, and Will have
an active part in making an ADJUST
ment. a'
In making efforts to reach some set
tlement OF the question the land board
will consider the action of Montana un-
der exactly the same conditions. There
the land board declared that no person
could lease more than certain acre
age BY this method the man who could
afford only one section was given an
equal chance with rich companies.
One OF the greatest questions with
stockmer for years in all OF the west
ern states has been that involving the
range. Government ranges are crowd
ed and the activity of state land
boards has forced the payment OF rem
tails. The government has declares
that the public domain cannot be
fenced State land under lease can be
incloscd. however, and 1t is this ques-
tion that has caused the differences.

Still Harp on Race Suicide"

Mayor Robert A. Smith of st. Paul,

termed race suicide" is not one of
the failings of the people of Mime

GUILTY OF TRYING TO FIX JURY

you still insist -,pon entering that
plea of guilty,t 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 1t
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 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 1.2OO to S1,5O0.

tered on the books, but were almost

Denver, April 23.-Disputes over the
use of state lands now included in the
public cattle range will be taken up by
the State Land Board. which will hear
the first case on May 18th. Thirty
thousand acres will be involved in this
case. The land lies in North and Mid
die parks and is equal to any in the
state. 1t was from this range that the
prize steers of the last stock show
were sent to Denver
Big cattle companies are opposed to
the small ranchers and raisers of stock
In this case. Among these are the
North Park Cattle Company. the Jones
Cattle Company, p. L. Sanchez and
Monte Bievins. Scores of small ranch
ers contend that the range shall not
be leased in large sections.
Protests from the small rarchers
have been pouring in to members OF
the State Land Board All of the writ
ers assert that 1t would be an injustice
to them to permit the big companies
to practically control the range, which
they claim would be the case should
the board act favorably on the appli-
cations for leases.
Pending a settlement Of the dispute
the land board has withdrawn leases
from all applicants. the case that Will
be decided next month Will be in the

Secretary Cortelyou is pleased with

Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt he

Mr.. Cortelyou himself in answer to
query as to whether he did not feel
lonesome not be of the party accom-
panying Mr.. Roosevelt. These fifty
eight trips prove in striking manner
that the presidents of the United

great relief to him not to be respon-
sible for any of the details of the

HIS EXPENSES TOO HEAVY.
Why Ohio Man Resigned Good Gov

1t is sixteen years ago since Milton
E. Allies of Ohio secured minor
position in the treasury department at
Washington. He rose steadily and
finally became assistant secretary. dis
charging the duties of that position
with ability and scrupulous care. Now
it is announced that he has resigned
his office to become vice president of
the Riggs National bank of Washing
ton. That bank is the largest institu-
tion of its kind at the national cap
ital. 81 am quitting the government
service because | cannot afford to be
an assistant secretary of the treas
ury," is the way Mr.. Allies states the
case. Il was better off as an 1880
clerk than | am as an assistant sec
retary. where my pay is $4,000. The
demands are such in social way that
a young man without independent
means cannot be entirely comfortable,

he would like"

COMMANDER BOOTH.TUCKER AT
AMITY COLONY ANNIVERSARY

There Is not much government In

no one ever seems to need any govern
ing. There is justice of the peace.
but his Office Is practically JOKE.
There is also a sheriff, but in the 1--WE
years life of the town there has never
been an arrest.
The townspeople are now looking
forward to the building of hotel. the
establishment of n bank, the introduce
ton of an electric light plant and other
good things. Commander Booth
Tucker, in his address Saturday. talked
ancouraEingly to the colonists about
these improvements. Each homesteader
has twenty acres of ground and home
and In time is expected to pay the
cost of these and six per cent. interest
on the loan thus given him.
The value of Fort Amify property
has increased rapidly. The land that
was bought for $40 an acre now sells
to the colonists for $50 and an outsider
could not buy for less than 500.
Already from twenty to thirty per
cent. of the money first invested by the
Salvation Army has been repaid to
1t by its colonists and now plans are
under way to establish others. Com
mander th-Tncker recently received
several offers from large railway com
panies by which he will be given great
inducements for establishing colonies
along the lines of their roads. The
cotton regions of the South seem TO
offer desirable sites. and 1t is probable
that In the near future at least one col
ony will be started somewhere in that
section of the country.

o'clock Wednesday night for the North

meetings in the interest of the Saliva

Fair Play for Small Shippers.

Chicago. April 26.-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 Elkins 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. 1t further de-
clares that while each injured citizen
has right to such relief in its own
behalf, in cases like those under con-
sideration, the injured persons are SO
numerous and the injury to each is SO
infinitessimal that it is the duty of the
government to act for them under the
power specially conferred by the stat
utes.
