WORLD MAY COMPETE.
Canal Commission Will Buy Ships in
Open Market.

Washington, May 1.-THE executive
committee of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission has decided to purchase in
the markets of the world the material
and ships necessary for the building
of the Panama canal.
This important decision was reached
with some reluctance, because 1t was
appreciated by Secretary Taft and the
executive committee that there would
surely be a great Outcry from two
great interests in this country, the
producers of material and the ship
owners, il the purchases were not linn
tied to the American products. But it
was decided that the money cOnsd-
GRAFTON was SO great that 1t could not
be ignored for it was held that in
some cases fully fifty per cent more
would be charged for material needed
in canal construction than the same
goods could be produced for in Europe.
Chief Engineer Wallace. for in
stance, showed that two ships in addi-
tion to the ones running between New
York and Colon and owned by the
Panama railroad, were absolutely nee
essary to carry the food supply and
material needed for the work. No
American ship could be bought at any
reasonable price, and when it came to
building such ships it was found, ac-'
cording to Secretary Tafts statement,
that while he can buy two 2,600-ton
ships in Europe for s75O,0O0, it would
cost $1,4OO,OOO to build such ships
here. And, in addition, while the Eu-
ropean ship could be had at once, it
would take at least eighteen months
to secure American boats.
AS to material needed for canal con-
struction, the committee decided that
by reserving to itself the right to pur-
chase in the worlds markets. it would
at least oblige American manufactur-
ers to give them the benefit of their
foreign prices if they wish to sell
goods to the committee.
Secretary Taft explained that he
felt obliged to endorse this decision
because, having given Congress every
opportunity to give contrary decision.
he felt that the very terms of the ca
nal act provided that it should be con-
structed at the lowest possible cost.

Building Gift Increased.

Denver. Colo, May 16.-Simon Gug,
genheim has doubled his recent gift TO
the State School of Mines by approx
ing plans for building which will
cost approximately 100000. A tele
gram to this effect was received by
President Victor Anderson yesterday
and read in the class rooms amid wild
cheers of delight from the students.
A short time ago Mr.. Guggenheim
out of gratitude for the birth of son
and heir, made a gift to the school of
$4,000. This money. it was stipu.
lated. was to be used in the erection of
a building in honor of his baby. The
design and plans for a building were
left entirely to the board of trustees
The board has had a plan drawn. but
it was found that according to this
plan the building would cost nearly
100000.
The plan was forwarded to Mr. Gug.
genheim in New York City. The tele.
gram yesterday stated that it was per
'fectly satisfactory, and that the donor
would stand good for the increase in
cost.
The new building will be known as
Guggenheim hall. 1t will be two
stories and basement, with tile man,
sard roof. In a tower on the center
will be placed a large clock that can
be seen all over the grounds.

Sonal command of Maj. Gen. Leonard

New Haven, Conn, May lin a
letter acknowledging the receipt from
the committee of protesting ministers
OF documents bearing on the recent ac-
ceptance Of the Rockefeller donation
to the American Board of Commission
ers of Foreign Missions, the pastors of
Congregational churches in New Ha-
Ven, with the exception of Rev. A. J.
Haynes of the United Church, have
jointly given expression to their views
in the matter.
The pastors in their letter say that
while reluctant to express their views,
some extraordinary statements of the
protestants call for an aswer They
deplore any unnecessary and harsh
criticisms of missionary societies.
The letter says: We notice with
regret the following words: The
courts can be bought the legislatures
can be bought. the churches can be
bought, but the American people
cannot be bought. Such unqualified
words under other circumstances
might be passed by without serious no.
tice but when addressed by a num-
Der of Congregational ministers to
their brethren. they cannot be left un-
challenged. This statement, so sweep
ing in its condemnation of legislatures.
SO calumnious of the judiciary, so un-
just to our churches, we would repu-
diate as untrue in fact and socially de-
structive in its effect.
I'VE desire also expressly to dis
avow the assumption that by the ac-
ceptance of such donations, or by the
use of any mans gift of that which is
lawfully his own the trustees of a
charity enter into an alliance with
him in lis business, become 'yoke-fel
lows with him in wrong practices, or
in any way compromise themselves
with questionable methods of corpora

actions of the American board. we are
not free as We have always been in
our pulpits to rebuke any wrongs that
may be exposed in our economic sys-
TEN.
I'VE in turn must protest when you
insist that because of our customs or
principles concerning charitable con-
tributions. we are not in sympathy

HELD UP THE SHERIFF
BOLD CRIPPLE CREEK OUTLAWS
Sheriff Bell and Deputy Held at Point
of Revolvers Until Aid Comes.

Denver, May 16.-A Republican spe-
cial from Cripple Creek last night
says:
James Warford, Walter Henley and
John Chapman, three men recently dis
charged from the county Jail, held up
the sheriff and his deputy. Thomas I'm
derwood. about midway between the
county Jail and the sheriff's Office at
u:3O o'clock this morning.
Sheriff Bell had ordered the arrest of
Chapman for carrying concealed weap-
ons. The sheriff took revolver from
him and ordered Deputy Underwood to
take him to jail. On the way the man
drew another weapon, turned on the
deputy, and told him to throw up his
hands. Sheriff Bell went to see what
was the trouble, when he was held up
by James Warford. Warford is the
man who shot and instantly killed
Chris Miller and Ike Liebo two West
ern Federation leaders, at the polling
place in Goldteld November Sth. Ken
ley is said to have been former part
ner OF Tom Horn.
With the officers covered. the three
men marched them toward the county
Jail, telling them they wanted the guns
that were taken from them. They
changed their minds, however, and
backed away, keeping the officers COW
cred. They passed up Bennett avenue
and started toward Anaconda.
Within a few minutes a posse had
been formed and went in search of
them. They were located near the Gold
Bond property, and after a shot or two
had been fired in the air. they We're or
dered to throw up their hands. Henley
returned the fire, standing in the open,
but Warford stumbled and fell down a
steep hill, nearly cracking his skull.
Seeing that they were surrounded,
they threw up their hands and sur
rendered. but not until Underwood,
who arrested Henley, had hit the latter
over the head with a gun. When told
that he ought to be killed. he remarked
to the sheriff:
Its up to you"
Three revolvers were taken from
Warford and two each from the other
two men. They were brought back to
the city and taken to the county Jail,
surrounded by a strong force of depu-
ties. Had any of the posse been in
jured, this trio of desperadoes undoubt-
edly would have met summary ven
geance.
Warford and Henley were released
recently from the county jail Warford
was tried on a charge of murder, but
the jury disagreed and the case was
dismissed. Chapman and Henley were
charged with robbng an assay office.
but it was believed impossible to con-
vict them, also.
Thomas Scanlan, a partner of Chap
man and Henley, was sentenced by
Judge Seeds to-day to ten months in
the county Jail, to pay a fine of $3.50
and to stand committed until the fine
is paid. Scanlan was convicted of a
brutal assault upon c. f. Perkins in
Victor last October
charge of resisting an officer and
assault with intent to kill will be
placed against the trio and there will
be no delay in bringing them to trial.

GIRLS CAUSE TROUBLE
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD RESIGN
Disagreement in Regard to Colorado

Denver, May 16.-Following is tbs
Republican's version of the Industrial
School difficulties:
All Of the five members of the board
OF control of the State Industrial
School for Girls have resigned, not
JUS three of them as stated yesterday.
Inc designations have been in the
haNlS OF the governor for the last
week and he will appoint a new board

The members of the present board

err NJ. Colder. all of this city, and Dr.
Josephine Peavy of Colorado Springs
The dissolution of the board is the re-
sur Of abolishing corporal punishment.
as stated yesterday, and the trouble

majority of the board and they are
opposed to infiicting corporal punish
mcnr Miss Emma Page is the super

! mon whose wisdom was interpreted
by The Indiana pedagogue when he
said mo lickin', no learnin'." The
minority of the board, composed of
Ms. Hunter and Mrs. Wright, sides
| Will the matron.
Starting with this disagreement the
trouble grew until. it is said. one mem
ber at least went around peddlng
scandalous tales about other members.
The majority have been ready to re-
sign for some time, and have an en-
tireIy new head, but it has been i'm
possible to bulge the minority. Gov
| ernor Mcdonald was able to use some
sort Of hypnotic influence and finally
secured the designations.
Since corporal punishment has been
abolished, 1t is alleged, there has been
lax discipline at the institution. as well
by The majority that the matrOn takes
thaJ way of demonstrating that the
place cannot be properly conducted
without plenty of whipping.
The law requires that there be three
women on the board, and how Gov
ernor Mcdonald will make it up is a
problem. 1t has been suggested that
he name a board which will agree to
put the management of the school
practically under the direction Of DR.,
Patdleford. the superintendent of the
lI4ts' school at Golden. DR.. Paddle
ford has made such a fine record in
the work that a competent matron
working under his supervision would,
it is argued, make d success OF the
girls institution.
