firing energy, his self-sacrifice, his pa
tient research: to his intense interest

and the position which he so ably
filed: and to the valuable results of his
labors and services in the profession SO
congenial to his nature.

Denver. March GA Republican
special from Telluride last night says
Courty Judge Wardlaw tonight or.
dered the sheriff to release the fifteen
men who we're found guilty OF
vagrancy early in the week and who
were being required to work out the
fines imposed, at the rate of 80 day
on the streets OF Telluride and the
roads near the city. Judge Wardlaw
held that there was not sufficient evi-
dence to convict the men.
Within a few minutes after court
adjourned, Deputy Sheriff Henley, who
had been made the target for much
abuse by Attorney Richardson, who
was representing the men who had ap-
pealed to the County Court when found
guilty OF vagrancy. assaulted Mr.. Rich
ardson. Before the latter escaped he
had received black eye and four of
his teeth had been knocked loose.
No case tried in Telluride in months
aroused the people to such an extent
as the one tried today. During the
entire trial the utmost interest was
manifested. After the evidence was
all in, and while Attorney Richardson,
for the defense. was making his clos
ing argument at the evening session,
he applied abusive epithets to Deputy
Sheriff Henley.
Probably he did SO because ever
since the troops were ordered to Tel
luride last November, Mr.. Henley has
made daily trips from Placerville to
Montrose and return.
1t has been his duty to see that min
ers coming to the district to obtain
work were not molested, and also to
prevent men deported from returning.
After warning men who tried to return
as they boarded the train he reported
them to the military detail at Placer
vile if they were persistent, and they

Marines Not sent 10 Mlnes.

Washington. March 6.-To be out of
danger all American women and chill
dren at the gold mines near I'm San,
Korea. which are operated by j. Sloat
Fasset and other Americans. have
been sent to Ping Yang. Henry c.
Perkins of this city yesterday received
n cablcgram from Anju stating that
the mines were still held by the
American operatives. They have not
yet been molested and are hopeful
they will not be. The men left at the
mines number about 100. Mr.. Perkins
does not think the American minister
has sent marines from Seoul to guard
the mines against possible interfer-
ence by the Russians or Japanese. The
State Department has had nothing
from Seoul to-day, nor has the Navy
Department.
No secret is made that this govern
ment will strongly condemn any or
ders for the marines to go to Anju,
which is in the center OF the theater
OF war. The possibility OF friction
with one or the other of the belliger-
ents would thereby be greatly in.
creased.

Attitude Of China.

Paris, March THE official view
here does not share that which is
said to prevail at Washington and in
Berlin that the threatening anti-Rus-
sian attitude of the Chinese Generals
Ma and Yuan Shi Kai. the command
er-in-chief. may lead to breach of
China's neutrality and compel France
to take action in behalf of Russia.
Reports received here confirm those
which have reached Washington and
other capitals. that the Chinese troops
are showing much activity in northern
China and along the Manchurlan bor-
der. They also indicate that bands of
Chinese brigands are taking advan-
tagc of the opportunity to resume their
depredations and raids through Man
churia, but the officials here say 1t is
mistake to connect such action of
irregular Chinese forces with the ac-
tiona of the Chinese government

President Roosevelt has had several
conferences with senators and repre-
sentatives in the Congress who are in
terested in the proposition to create
new states. 1t is understood to be the
Presidents solution of the problem
that two new states be created, one
from Oklahoma and the Indian Terri,
tory and one from the territories Of
New Mexico and Arizona.
Senator Gallinger has introduced a
bill increasing the salaries of the exc
cutive officers of the government. and
also Of senators and members of the

fixes the following scale: President,

an order has been issued for the rel
lease of John Turner on bail, and set4
ting the hearing of his case by tho
court for April 4, next. Turner is a
British subject. who was taken into
custody upon arrival In New York lase
October on the charge Of being an an!
archist and his deportation ordered.
Ho was detained at Ellis island and in
stituted habeas corpus proceedings in
the circuit court. His petition for a
writ Of habeas corpus was denied and
he brought the case to the Supreme
Court 1t is claimed in behalf of Tur.
ner that he is only theoretical an
archist. He came to the United States
to engage in lecturing and writing. The
application for release on bail was
partly for the purpose Of permitting
Turner to I'LL lecture engagements in
other countries.
The architectural change made in
the White House was the subject OF
discussion in the Senate and was gen.
orally criticised as falling far short
Of the improvements which should
have been secured with the $4,000
appropriation for the purpose. Mr.
Gallinger referred to the White House
changes, saying that that work had
been in the hands Of IN architect Of
great reputation. He said that as q
result Of his efforts, part Of the ex-
ecutive mansion had been spoiled. and
that the office OF the President was an
eye.sore and not At to accommodate q
second-class lawyer or doctor. Mr. Dry
den, who contended for liberal allow
ance to architects. said he agreed that
the White House additions are not OF
seemly appearance. But" he added.

tects are often placed at disadvant-

Bills Worthless for Years.

The bills of the State Bank of New
Brunswick have been worthless ever
since the national banking law went
into effect. almost forty years ago At
that time the officials of the bank sold
a large quantity of the bills to a junk
dealer in Newark for old paper. This
individual, instead of consigning his
purchase to the factory. saw chance
to make some money. and he promptly
disposed of it in small quantities to
counterfeiters and swindlers through
out the country.
The notes have been in circulation
ever since. and the west is becoming a
favOrite field for their exchange. owing
to the limited knowledge which resi-
deI:ts of this section have of paper
money. Comparatively little currency
circulates west of the Rocky noun
tains and Capt. Bell states that it is
an easy matter to palm off any bill
which bears the slightest resemblance
to the genuine treasury notes on the
average tradesman.
