SUIT OF KANSAS
TESTIMONY IN THE WATER CASE
Commission Leaves Pueblo for Denver.
Witnesses Tell Of Changes
Caused by Cutting OF
Timber.

Pueblo. Sept 2.-The commission in
the Kansas-Colorado suit has COM
pleted its labors here with the. exam
nation OF Division Engineer Chew and
has gone to Denver TO take further tes-
timony. Most of the time here was
taken up in examining Mr.. Chew and
the case was gone into thoroughly.
Scores of questions were asked in re-
gard to irrigation in the district and
the history OF this region as water
shed for a period of years.
1t was stated that at one time the
region from Colorado Springs to the
divide and all along the Arkansas river
was covered with fine timber. all OF
this, the heavy rains have cut tremen-
dous guiches in the hills and plains
making floods frequent in this portion
Of Colorado.
Mr.. Chew stated that he could re-
member when there was no gulch
where the Eden disaster happened and
when Fountain creek was crossed by
means of a log at point where 1t is
nearly 1000 feet wide now. Denud-
ing the country of forests has resulted
In the moisture going to waste and the
testimony showed clearly that more
reservoirs are needed to save the sur
plus water.
Counsel for the state of Kansas de-.
sired to introduce as evidence the de-
crees for bitches. showing their re-
spective capacities. the exhibit being a
report made out by the division engi-
ueer. To this the defense objected,
calling for the certified DEGREES OF the
clerk of the District Court. The mat
ter was left in allegiance pending an
Investigation of the matter.
In case the objection is sustained.
the introduction of each water decree

cost the state of Kansas more money
than has been appropriated for the
prosecution OF the case. and for that
reason the Kansas attorneys are anx-
ious to have their documents accepted
as evidence.

ASK FOR AN INJUNCTION.
To Enable Company to Do Business
at Cripple Creek.

Denver, Sept. 2.-Suit in equity for
an injunction restraining members of
the citizens alliance and mine own
ers' association from interfering with
the carrying on of a general mar
chandise business by the Interstate
Mercantile Company has been filed in
the United States Circuit Court by C.
S. Thomas. as attorney for the plain
tiffs. The complaint states that
damage SUIT is also about to be filed.
The complaint alleges that the two
organizations mentioned have assumed
the power of city and county govern
ment in Teller county for the purpose
of determining who shall remain in the
county and who shall be expelled, and
have completely dominated govern
mental affairs without proper regard
for individual rights contrary to the
constitution of the United States and
OF Colorado.
It is averred that the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners is obnoxious to the
two associations named. hence the al
legged warfare against that organiza-
ton.
To maintain this warfare it is al
legged a conspiracy was formed and
county officials were compelled to re-
sign and others appointed in their
stead, deportation cOmmlIte6 ap-
pointed and about 1000 reputable citi-
zens summoned before it for examina-
ton.
The next clause of the complaint
deals with the policy of Governor Pea
body. 1t reads:
THAT the executive of the state of
Colorado is in sympathy with the said
defendants, their purposes and objects,
that he has aided them to the full e1-
tent Of his power and authority and
without process of law. in banishing
and exiling citizens from the said coun-
ty who have fallen under their dis
pleasure, and will not pretends
he cannot, extend to your ora
tor and others similarly situated.
any relief, unless called upon by
the officers of the said county; and
it is alleged upon information and be-
lief that the officials are entirely I'M
der the influence and controlled by the
power Of the said defendants and the
defendant associations"
1t is alleged that the plaintiffs were
not connected with the labor troubles
In Colorado but that the attack upon
them was because they bought the
stocks of goods owned by the union
stores at Victor and Cripple Creek and
continued to carry on the business.

May Bring Indian Witnesses.

Denver, Sept 1T is altogether
probable that a tribe of Indians will
present evidence in the famous case of
the state of Kansas VS.. Colorado. At
torney General Miller states that ne
has been informed by H. F. Hegwer
that the Kaw Indians once frequented
the regions of the Arkansas and are
familiar with early conditions along
the stream. The Kaw tribe is now To-
Gated in Indian Territory and 1t is
more than likely that some one will be
sent to confer with the older chiefs
to see what evidence can be procured
for Colorado. Before it is finished the
water rights suit may dig up wit
nesses that will bring back the old
days Of the Wild West. Many letters
are now being received from pioneers
of this state who are familiar with con-
ditions as they existed along the Ar
kansas. These letters contain much
valuable information and the attorney
generals office desires to receive fur
ther communications of this nature.

 Allentown Pa, Jan. M.-Mrs. Catherine Bechtel, on trial here as an accessory after the fact to the murder of her daughter Mabel, today went on the wit nes stand in her own defense. Mrs. Bechtel stated that she was in her six tleth year and mother of twelve children.
 In answer to question by Attorney Luke Mrs. Bechtel said she had warned her daughter Mabel against associatinG with Weisenberg, but that the girl only iaugh- ed at her. She declared she had heard Weisenberg say that for s he could have Mabel Bechtel and Alois Eckstein brain ed. She denied that she had ever struck Mazel. The girl worked when she pleas ed, she said, and often stayed away from home over night. despite her 0he moth- er's) pleadings that she not do so. but to come home at a proper hour like other respectable girls. Mabel and Tom never interfered with each other. she said. and "quarrelled. only like brother and sister sometimes do

 Mrs Bechtel then gave a detailed des- cription to the jury how the sleeping rooms were subdivided among her chill dren. She contradicted the statement made by Chief Cohen and two officers who testified for the commonwealth, on the day Mabels body was found that there was an ingrain carpet on the floor of the second story front bedroom and on the following day this carpet had been re- moved and the rag carpet substituted.

STEPHEN BONSAL, FAMOUS CORRESPOND
 IN MONTGOMERY TO WRITE OF THE NEGRO

ton, taking a stand in defense of the South.
 MT. Reese said that according to in- strucfions he had given out no informa- tion except what transpired in the open court, but had talked informally with MT. Bonsal on conditions in the "peonage counties" He had introduced him to the officials of the court and was deeply im- pressed with his personality. As far as he knew the visit here of the New York journalist meant no new developments in the peonage situation.
 District Attorney Reese and Assistant United States District Attorney Julius Sternfeld spent some time yesterday af- ternoon in the room of MT. BonsaI at the New Mabson Hotel.
 The dominant characteristic of Mir. Bon sal seems to be modesty. He converses as brilliantly as he writes. With exquis- ite modesty he discusses his tours of Ja- pan, Cuba and other foreign countries.
 He was for some time attached to the American legation in Tokio and he speaks Japanese fluently.
 He said he was preparing to sail for Japan as war correspondent for The Her aid, when "the little affair apparently blew over" Then 1t was suggested. in view of the recent argument by Carl Schurz, on the negro question in Mo Clure's Magazine. 1t was suggested that he come South and make an investigation of conditions in 1904. MT. Bonsal admitted that Montgomery was his objective point because of re- cent disclosures of conditions in South- east Alabama, and the fact that the Unit | ed States Grand Jury is now in session. He called attention to the attitude of The Herald toward the South and South ern institutions and discussed the negro question as one who had studied it from a liberal viewpoint.
 "Peonage undoubtedly exists in spots in Alabama" said MT. Bonsal, "just like i, exists in other States. It is my observa. ton that peonage Is an industrial condi- tion. and is not to be treated as a race problem"
 To bear out this thought he referred tc the fact that a white man was. said tc

THEY BELIEVE IN MARRYING.
Bachelors Do Not Count for Much
 Among Savages.

Chicago Chronicle.
 Savage man is, almost everywhere, a ried man. He abhors the single state. Old maids and old bachelors are rare in all savage and barbarian communities. The rule Is to marry early and sometimes also marry often. Here Is one point of difference and a notable one between un- civilized and civilized societies. In the second volume of his History of Euro pean Morals Mir. Leeky points out that fin no higher civilized society is marriage general on the first development of the dency of increasing knowledge is to render such marriage more rare. The opposite of this general rule. which is characteristic of most civilized peoples,
 finds expression in cases where children are pledged in marriage even before they are born; and the Talamanca Indians, where "a bride Is generally from 10 to 14 years old;" among certain other Central American tribes, where the parents 'try to get a wife for their son when he Is g or 10 years old;' among the Guanas, where, as Azara says. the girls who mar ry latest marry at the age of g." among most of the Australian tribes, where nearly all the girls are betrothed at an extremely early age: among the Santals, where a lad marries "as rule about the age of Is or F. and girl at that of 15;" and among the Kandhs, where "a boy marries when he reaches his tenth or twelfth year. his wife being usually about four years older.
 So strong is the sentiment In favor of marriage among uncivilized races that a person who does not marry is looked upon almost as an unnatural being. or at any rate is disdained. It is or was a matter of universal belief in Fiji that he who died without having been married was stopped on the road to Paradise by the god Nangganangga and smashed to atoms" The Santals regarded the obsti- nate bachelor as little better than a thief, and not at all better than a witch, and both sexes treat him with supreme con- tempt In Kaffir kraals a bachelor has no voice Tn Tiascala man of full age who refused to marry had his hair cut off for shame" In Korea, on the au- thorlty of Rev John Ross, the male human being who is unmarried Is never called a man. whatever his age. but goes bv the name of 'yatow,' a name given by the Chinese to unmarriageable young girls. and a man of 13 or IA has perfect Tight to strike. abuse and odFer about inc 'yatow' of 30. who dare not so much as open his lips to complain"
