MORE SHIPPING NEEDED.
Secretary Shaw Deplores Lack Of Mer-
chant Marine.

Neutrality-suspicious. prevailed in the
important speeches befare the Ameri-
can Bankers Association convention
here to-day the sentiment that imam
cial legislation is necessary. Thirty
three hundred bankers applguded Sec
retary Shaw to the echo when ne con
cluded a lengthy address. the burden
of which was a panorama of the pros
perity of the country, contrasted with
monetary system which is infexible
and liable thereby to bring disaster at
any crucial time.
In his address. the secretary dis
cussed at great length the urgent need
of a great American mercantile ma
rine, enlarging upon the almost utter
lack of direct steamship commuDica-
ton with South America and closed as
follows: -
I'VE occupy the best position on the
map. We have the safest and the most
convenient form of money in the world.
We speak the language of commerce.
Our farms produce more than the
farms of any other country. Our mines
yield gold literally by the carload. sill
yer by the train load, and there is un-
loaded on the shores of single com
monwealth more iron ore than any
Other country produces. Our forests
yield one hundred million feet of lum-
ber for ever day of the calendar year.
Our factories turn out more finished
products than all the factories of Great
Britain and Germany combined by
more than three thousand millions ev-
cry twelve months. We transport this
matchless product of farm and factory.
forest and mine. from the interior to
the sea at one-third what similar ser
vice costs anywhere else beneath the
skies. We carry 1t from point to point
along the coast in better vessels, on
quicker time, and at cheaper rates
than others. But at our coast line we
are brought to an abrupt halt. Here
we are no longer Independent. Our for
eign commerce is four times as large
as forty years ago. but we carry in our
ships only one-third as many gross
tons as forty years ago. We have pro
tected and encouraged every interest
but our merchant marine, and every
protected interest has ilourished. We
have every facility for international
commerce except international me-
chants. international bankers. and an
international merchant marine Shall
we not have these?"

Bad Fire at NederIand.

Denver.-A Republican special says.
The entire town of Nederland. in the
western part of Boulder county, was
practically destroyed by fire Friday
Ten buildings were destroyed. The
fire, when first discovered, about 10
o'clock, was eating its way out of the
roof of the second story of w. j..
Scott's general store. 1t caught in a
room on the upper floor and was be-
yond control when it was discovered.
From Scott's store the fire spread to
E. w. Watts saloon on the east and
then to Reinhardt's restaurant. 1t took
in the pool room of Carroll Bros, the
large new two-story hotel just COM
pleted and occupied for the first time
the day before, and then. burning
northward, destroyed the new home of
II. Wolhke and another saloon. The
residence of II. Wolhke was blown up
by dynamite to prevent the spread of
the fire. In addition to the loss of his
house and furniture, which was total,
he also lost $500 in money, there be-
ing no bank in the town. The total
loss will be about $4,000 The post
office was in Scott's building, but all
the mail was gotten out after hard
fight. One hotel and several cottages
escaped.

LAsoRERs GIVEN PROPER CARE.
Comforts introduced into Railway
Camps or Railroads.

A railway boarding camp for the Ia
borers on railroads is perhaps the lat-
est illustration Of the generally rscog-
nized principle that the better sur
roundings, moral and physical, the. men
have the more and better work they
do. The gangs of railway laborers nsv-
ally work out of reasonable distance of
towns. and are, therefore, practically
homeless. and must depend on the
companies for food. shelter, clothing,
and incidental necessities. The new
plan. as 1t has been carried out, fur
nishes complete boarding camp, in
cluding cold storage system, so that
fresh provisions may be at hand at
any place and time. Sleeping accom-
modations consist of the common box
cars provided by the company. 10
which are added portable iron frame
work. On this framework are installed
wire mattresses with iron frames.
which provide plenty of room. clean
and sanitary surroundings, and abwn.
dant ventilation.

MEETDEATHM MERRILY
CHINESE BANDITS JOKE UP TO
LAST MOMENT.
After Undergoing Tortures Of the Pris-
on the Doomed Men Go Almost
Willingly to Exeeution-calI for a
Song on the Soaffold.

A correspondent of the Shanghai
Times thus describes the execution of
three Chinese bandits July 81 last at
Dahoshun, midway between Kao-
pangtze and Sinmintun. native soldiers
being in charge: Going up the hill
TO the execution ground one of the
men was so heavily shackled with a
great beam of wood round his ankles
that he was unable to walk and the
soldiers were forced to carry him up.
This he treated as a great joke and
chaffed the soldiers for not carrying
him more gently. Arrived at the top.
two of the condemned men started "a
heated discussion az to which one
should be beheaded last. These two
men, Wong, the second chief of the
band, and man named Liu, were the
disputants and each claimed the right
to see the other ones head taken on
Liu claimed that Wong, being the
chief. ought to be executed first, but
Wong claimed that it was his right
as superior officer to see the fun at his
subordinates' expense. Finally it was
arranged with the assistance of the
Chinese officers that the third man
should be executed first, Wong second
and Lin third.
This being satisfactorily arranged.
Wong asked to be allowed to have n
last look around the country and made
a few facetious remarks and then
started to sing Chinese song. See
ing some foreigners present he then
turned round and remarked to one OF
them, Hi, you foreign man. give us
a foreign song The foreigner ex-
pressed his inability, so I-iu struck up
a native dtty and the trio prepared
for execution. On stripping off their
garments the means by which the con
fessions, on the strength of which the
men were to die. had been obtained
were evident. as their backs we're hor-
far preferable to the tortures which
they had undergone.
"The leader, Wong. in his confession
stated that he had acted as a scout for
the Japanese but as they had not paid
him for his work he had taken up the
bandit business of his own account.
There was much more describing the
raiding of villages. the holding up Of
merchants and the driving off of cattle
and horses. That he had been In the
employ of the Japanese is quite GER
tain, for the writer has seen him in
Sinmintun with a band of his fellows
accompanied by Japanese officers and
carry ing a Japanese banner. He was
then wearing a green badge on his
arm with white centerpiece with a
red dot on It and some Japanese char
acters, the badge of a scout in the
service"

Big Money for 6eets.

Denver.-A Greeley special to the
Republican says: One hundred and
thirty-five thousand dollars was paid
Saturday by the Greeley. Eaton and
Windsor factories for $1,000 tons of
beets at the three factories since Sep
tenber Goth. This is the first time
that payment has been made TO the
growers in October. for in previous
years beets were not delivered to the
factories earlier than October 10th.
If enough cars cannot be secured to
carry the beets TO the factory. the crop
viii be piled on the ground along the
railroad tracks. as freezing does not
injure the beets for sugar making pro
vided they are ground before they
thaw.
Seven hundred and fifty men are en-
ployed at the three factories, and $751;
200 month, in two payments, is paid
out at each factory. or $4,000 for the
three factories.

AuNeER's CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Unpleasant Sensation as Described by
Medical Authority.

Hunger is the sensation felt because
OF the contraction of the muscularis
either of the pylorus or possibly alsCt
mum. or of the contraction of theI
muscularis OF all these structures. "
the contraction Is more intense II is
felt as a painful hunger. If the con
traction is slight. then the sensation
of the hunger is also of Il slight de-
gree: 1t is evanescent.
Hunger is lesser degree OF paiu
and is produced by the contraction of
the muscularis. This is the rcason
why hunger passes away after Ger
tain lapse OF time. even If no food has
been taken. 1t means simply That

BANKER IN PRISON

BEHIND CANON CITY WALLS
Writ of supersedeas Denied by su-

Trial-sentenced for From Two to
Four Years.

Trial-Sentenced for From Two to
Four Years.
Denver.-Edwin NJ. johnson, former
president and manager of the defunct
Fidelity Savings Association, is now
in the state penitentiary. The Fidelity
company failed in July. 1924, and when
IL was found how complete the wreck
was the officers were indicted on vari-
GUS counts. Among the things charged
TO johnson was falsifyinga report in the
previous six months. Under the vari-
Gus counts he was arraigned for trial
at three different times in the last
year, but conviction was not secured.
Twice the jury failed TO agree. In the
latter part of August. he was tried in
the West Side court before Judge Gar
rigues of the Greeley district on the
above charge.
Johnson was defended by Ralph Tai
bot and Thomas Ward. and Greeley
Whitford and Harry Silverton of the
districts attorneys office conducted
the case for the people. The pros
ecution claimed that in falsifying
his report Johnson had estimated
that the company had securities
worth s1,307 ,330.24. when as a fact
t1ch securities were approximately
SI69,2S1.S6; that the institution was
in fact more than a half million
dollars below its reported standing.
The jury was out less than an hour
and within two hours after rendering a
verdict of guilty, the court had denied
a motion for new trial and sentenced
the prisoner to term of from two to
fon years in the penitentiary.
A stay of execution was granted by
the trial judge pending an application
before the Supreme Court for a super
sedeas. The motion for writ of super
sedeas was argued two weeks ago and
taken under advisement. The chief ar
gument of the attorneys in seeking the
writ was that the trial court erred in
instructing the judge regarding the
question of the truth or falsity of the
report.
Chief Justice Gabbert Monday morn
ing announced to the clerk of the court
that the justices had denied the appli-
cation, and that the attorneys we're no.
titled A written opinion was not
handed down, but will be later. Imme-
diately upon hearing the verdict. Sher-
iff Nesbit began preparations to have
Johnson taken TO Canon City, and at
lis he started in charge of Deputy
Sheriff Ronaldson.
