AIR SHIP RACES AT ST. LOUIS.

Executive Committee Meeting Of the

Denver, April 1S.-The quarterly
meeting of the executive council of the
American Federation Of Labor was
opened in this city today. The eight
hour and anti-injunction measures
pending before congress will be per-
haps the most important business Of
general interest that will come before
the session. The Colorado labor trou-
bles will also be thoroughly discussed.
Referring to Governor Peapody's at
titude toward the miners of this state,
President Gompers said his violation
of the fundamental principles of our
country has made Colorado the laugh
ing stock of the country, as well as
the rest of the world. Besides it robs
men of the actual rights and the pro
lection guaranteed them by the con-
stitution."
Questions involving the jurisdiction
of the association whose membership
is largely in the east were disposed of
and the financial report was submit

LATEST OIL BULLETIN
Harry Bennett Has Resumed
Sinking in His Well.

The Republican having announced
the latest thing in oil, hereabout, it is
time to issue a bulletin on the progress
of events. There was nothing stated
except the facts that anyone may veri-
fy for himself. The reader, however,
should not hold The Republican re-
sponsible for any imagining of his own
that might be founded on hope rather
than fact for the hope that oil may be
developed here in commercial quaint
ties is universal.
In the matter of the assay by ]. @. A.
King, however, and which was referred
to only as a report, Mr.. King was seen
yesterday and said he had made no
chemical analysis but,he had tested the
rocks and sand brought to his office by
the simple method of boiling it in wa
ter as anyone might do ana had secur-
ed a greasy sort of a substance on the
top of the basin. Whether it was pc
troleum or not he would not render Il
decision without an analysis. Neither
he nor anyone else, however, doubts
that Mr.. Bennett found in his well,
just what he says he did. and as The
Republican stated it's proving to be a
commercial oil will depend entirely on
future development and on the guam
tity secured.
The rocks have been seen by many
since Sunday morning and many who
are supposed to know whereof they
speak pronounce the substance to be
unquestionably oil blossom. Whether
it comes from lower strata under Mr..
Benefits place or drifted into his we'll
along the sand stratum that lies all
over the valley from some point posi-
bly, miles away. is entirely matter of
conjecture. Mr.. Bennett said yester-
day that he resumed his digging in the
well and that the Mexicans employed
say the smell of oil is so noticeable
as to be almost nauseating. He also
said that he had started another well
on the premises intending to sink il
only to the water level to furnish i
water supply for the family for whe-
Their it is in an oil formation or no.
there is not enough oil in the water
vein to destroy IT'S use for domestic
purposes.
Bearing out to some extent. the
theory that there may be oil there
abouts, w. D. Fulwiler, who lives on
the other side of Grand avenue and be-
yond Mr.. Bennett, said yesterday that
he had often noted the peacock colored
scum on water from his we'll when it
had been allowed to stand for some
time. and the same thing has been seen
by other neighbors in that part of
town.
That there is oil some place in this
valley is the honest belief of many

An Action to Recover a Part OF 1t for

Most Rev. Patrick W. Riordan, and

The complainants seek to have the

known as the Plus fund for legal
services.

lege that the claimants never perform

the recovery of the principal or corpus

Women Should Reform New York and
Let Congress Look Out for Smoot.

New York, April 1S.-With one dis
senting voice the New York City
Mothers club today indorsed
resolution favoring the unseating of
Reed Smoot and the amending of the
constitution to prohibit polygamy, and
the corresponding secretary was in
structed to write to Senators Plat and
Depew urging them to use their votes
and influence to this end
The dissenting voice was that of Mrs.
Harry Hastings, the recently retired

with considerable emphasis and decf-
sion.

favoring polygamy," she explained af-
terward to a newspaper reporter, but
I don't see that it is our province to
instruct congress in this matter. If
Smoot is proved to be polygamist he
will be unseated ipescfacto, without our
interference, but all the efforts of the
secret service have not yet sufficed to
prove it. Mrs. Martins resolution

PAVILION OF DRIED FRUIT.
Santa Clara County, CAL, Makes Uni
que Display at Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, April 18.-With dried fruits
there has been performed at the
worlds fair feat of architecture that
vies in beauty of design with the most
pretentious creations Of staff. In the
great palace Of agriculture is a most
unique pavilion erected by Santa Clara
county, Cal, for the display of its vast
fruit products.
Choosing for a model the old San
Louis Rey Mission near San Diego, the
builders with dried prunes, apricots,
figs and peaches have fashioned the
walls and towers in all of their old
Spanish picturesqueness, and with
more of the edibles a miniature repro
duction of the Lick observatory has
been designed as a crowning ornament
for the unique structure.
Twenty thousand dollars were ap-
propriated for Santa Clara's partIcipa-
ton in the worlds fair and the space
covered by the county's exhibit is
larger than that allotted to the island
of Cuba, which adjoins it. The pavil-
ion covers thirty-three by twenty-one
feet of room and altogether 1910 square
feet Of space is taken up by the ex-
hibits.
Not alone do the luscious exterior
walls faithfully portray the outlines of
the old mission, but inside the products
CT the orchard have been displayed in
such an array of splendor that a myth
illogical palace is at once brought to
mind. Jars of preserved fruit are en-
bedded in the structure of ballustrades
and archways, giving the appearance
of sections of stone inserted by the
skill of masonry.

Phoenicians who are the most COM
petent to judge having given the mat
ter considerable study. Indications
similar to those in Mr.. Benefits well
have been seen in at least two wells
west of Phoenix.
There are some who still believe that
if there is oil hereabout it is in the
vicinity of Comeback or just west OF
there and that these indications come
from a subterranean flow from there,
while others think the supposed oil
belt comes into the valley at a point
northwest of Phoenix and that the de-
post is more apt to be west of the city
Anent the oil subject Assayer Por-
terie yesterday exhibited a piece of
rock he has had in his laboratory that
was given him for testing for gold a
long time ago, by a man who did not
leave the price and hence no test was
made. He don't know where it came
from further than that it was soma
where in this valley, but it is unques-
tionably oil shale rather than gold ore.
Mr.. Porterie yesterday put a piece of it
under a blow pipe and found that it
burned readily and gave a very decid-
ed petroleum odor. That of course is
only proof that there is real oil Shale
somewhere in these parts.
There is of course no necessity for
anybody to get excited over the oil
question at this time but it is we'll
worthy of serious consideration and
there is no one who can blame Mr.
Bennett for further pursuing his ex-
ploration. Should he dig his hole
clear through the oil smelling stratum
and find nothing beyond, il presum-
ably will occasion no great expense
and he will have the satisfaction of
knowing a little more about it than he
does now. And when that is done
the drifting theory will be better
demonstrated. In the meantime there
is NOR satisfaction in following a tam
gible clue than in going somewhere
else to bore holes on a mere theory
and at a great cost.
