Upholds Colorado's Claim.

Denver, July 20.-Attorneys for
Colorado in the litigation over the
waters in the Arkansas river, now in
progress between this state and Kan
sas, claim that the whole question has
been virtually settled by decision
handed down by the United States
Supreme Court.
This is a case carried on appeal from
Utah and involves points similar to
those raised in the Colorado
water suit. The decision was ren.
dcred by Justice Peckham, and that
portion of it which sustains COlorado's
contention reads:
The rights of riparian owner in
and to the use of the water flowing
by his land are not the same in the,
arid and mountainous states of the
West that they are in the states Of
the East These rights have been
altered by many of the western states
by their constitutions and laws, be-
cause OF the totally different circum-
stances in which their inhabitants are
placed from those that exist in the
states of the East, and such altera-
tons have been made for the very
purpose of thereby contributing to the,
growth and prosperity of these states,
arising from mining and the cultiVa-
tiOn of the otherwise valueless soil
by means of irrigation.
This court must recognize the dif-
ference of climate and soil which rem
ders necessary these different laws IN
the states so situated"

left leg.
The jaguar and polar bear occu-

John Blakely, the keeper. threw on
the air brakes, stopping the train.
Then, to keep the taguar and bear from
escaping from the cage, he threw rocks

at the jaguar. AS soon as Blakely
ceased firing the jaguar made jump

STOLEN MILLIONS.
Rich Cripple Creek Mines Robbed by
Ore Thieves.

Denver, July ia Cripple Creek
special to the Denver News says:
Since the raid was made Saturday
night on the assay Offices Of the dis
trict the mine owners have secured,
definite and absolute information that
the "high grading" which has been in
progress several months has been att
the rate of $1O0O,O0O year. 1t is no
guess work when it is said that much
of high grade is being stolen annually
from the mines of the Cripple Creek
district.
One of the Offices that was raided
gave up secrets, for the assayer kept
such a splendid set of books that
everything was easily figured. This
particular mans books showed that in
the last six months he had paid out
the sum of $4,000 to the mine men
that brought him stolen ore.
1t is a well known fact that the high.
grader rarely gives the men who steal.
the ore over half it's value and in a
great many cases less. 1t is safe to
say that this fellows operations netted
him from $4,000 to $4,000 a month.
and as there are from eight to ten.
offices doing very heavy business.
.
estimated that the gang is getting
close to $1,O0O,O0o worth of ore a
year.
So bold was one of the assayers that
he smelted and cyanided the ore and
sold the tailings right in the district.
At the present time one of the sam
piers has big bunch of tailings that
is worth considerable money.
So far only three of the men ar
rested have been released on bonds.
A. E. Boyce, Goldfield saloonkeeper,
accused of keeping a fence" and who
was arrested last night. was released
on $4,000 bond to-day by Justice OF
the Peace Patrick.
C. H. Clark, also of Goldfield. has
been released on bonds of $4,000.
Joseph Grobecker has been released
on bonds of $4,000. All the rest, about
nine or ten in number, are still in the
county Jail.

Colorado Needs Rain.

Denver, July 19.-According to the
weekly crop bulletin of the Climate
and Crop Service Weather Bureau for
the Colorado section, the greater part
of the state is in need of rain at pres
ent. The recent rainfall has been too
local and the precipitation too light to
be of much benefit.
The bulletin says: The mean tenn
perature has been about normal. the
opening days having been rather cool.
and the closing days very warm. The
rainfall has been local, with amounts
too small to be of material benefit;
rain is now needed over the greater
portion of the state, notably in the
southern and western parts. Fall wheat,
rye and barley are being harvested,
with about average yields. Spring
wheat and oats are turning. Corn Is in
good condition. Early potatoes are
being marketed; late paintings are
good, except in. a few localities. The
crop Of alfalfa is generally in stack,
condition and yield being good; the
second crop is making satisfactory
progress. Except in districts af-
fected by drought, pastures are good.
The prospects for fruit continue very
promising; small fruits are plentiful,
and the quality is good. The soil is
being prepared for fall wheat in the
Arkansas valley, and plowing is under
way in San Luis park.

DEATH BY AEROPLANE
FELL THREE THOUSAND FEET
4: nia-DanieI Maloney Killed by
Collapse Of Airship.

San Jose, CAL, July 19.-With women
loney, who has made numerous public
ascensions with Professor Montgom-
ery's aeroplane. fell 1000 feet to his
depth at Santa Clara yesterday morn
ing.
Professor Montgomery had an
nounced an ascension from the grounds
of SaI6a Clara College in honor of the
League of the Cross Cadets, who are
holding their annual encampment in
that town. The announcement at.
tracted probably 1000 people, who
watched with interest the hugh ma
chine as it shot up from the college
garden attached to a huge balloon.
At height of 1000 feet Maloney
cut loose and began maneuvering the
aeroplane. He circled gracefully about
for some minutes, having the machine
apparently under perfect control. Then
he essayed deep dip.
Suddenly the machine swerved, hes
titated and turned completely over. 1t
righted itself, sank down a consider
able distance and turned over again.
iMaloney was clinging desperately to
his seat and evidently endeavoring to-,
regain his control, but all his efforts
were in vain.
Again the aeroplane turned in the
air and this time the wings came to-,
,gether and the man and machine
plunged straight downward, while the
mortified spectators gazed helplessly
upward. Amid Shrieks and groans,
many people rushed to the scene, while
others turned aWay weeping
A number of cadets first reached the
unconscious man and. picking him up,
they conveyed him to the college hos
pital. his head was fractured and
blood was flowing from his ears and,
mouth. He expired within short time.
The aeroplane, which was constructed
of the toughest oak procurable, was
ground into small fragments.

LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION.
Planned by Colorado Cattle and Horse
Growers Association.

Denver, July 16.-A movement was
set on foot yesterday which is ex-
pected to result in an annual gather
ing of stockmen in Denver from all
parts of the West, for the purpose of
holding a live stock exposition in
which will be shown in competition
fat cattle, hogs and sheep and feeder
cattle and breeding stock of all kinds.
"A meeting of prominent and repre-
sentative stockmen was held at the
stock yards yesterday morning in re-
sponse to a call issued by the Colo
RADIO Cattle and Horse Growers Asso-
citation. 1t was unanimously decided
to hold a big stock show here next
winter, probably in January at the
time of the national and state con-
yentions of stockmen meet.
Senator E. NJ. Ammons, president OF
the Colorado Cattle and Horse Grow
ers' Association, was made chairman
of the meeting and Fred P. johnson
secretary. Senator Ammons eX-
plained the object OF the meeting.
He pointed out the fact that Colorado
and the West could make the best
meats the world knows, but that only
recently have the stockmen attempted
to finish their own stock. For years
It has been the idea that corn was
necessary requirement for fattening
cattle. In late years few pro-
gressive stockmen have been expert
menting in feeding roots and other
grains and with wonderful results.
" There are enough engaged In feed
Ing now to make a most interesting
exhibit. But both the stockmen and
the public need educating. The stock
men want an opportunity to compare
notes and results in feeding and the
public wants to know what constitutes
The best meats. A live stock exposi-
ton would interest everyone and all
would learn something.
President Aylesworth of the Agri-
cultural College expressed approval OF
the project and promised that the
college force would assist in every
!, way possible.
Professor Carlyle, dean of agricul-
n ture at the college. also expressed ap-
q proval and suggested that in addition
to fat stock and feeders, there should
\ be arrangements made to exhibit
Il breeding stock.

CHARITY CONFERENCE
WORK OF PORTLAND MEETING
Care Of Children an1 Detectives Dis
cussed-Care Of the Conva-
lescent Insane,

Portland. Ore, July 19.-At the gen
eral session yesterday of the Confer
ence on Charities and Corrections.
detectives" and children" were the
principal topics discussed. AS on
yesterday. each paper or report was.
discussed from every standpoint, the
delegates taking SO active an interest
as to make the discussions general in
character, rather than confined to the
few set speeches OF the day.
The topic detectives" was intro
duced by DR.. H. A. Tomlinson of ST.
Peter, Minnesota, chairman OF the
committee on detectives He discussed
at length the Importance of investigat-
ing the physical condition of defec.
tives as basis for their rational care
and treatment. DR.. Tomlinson. said, in
part;
Provision should be made for the
Thorough investigation of physical con-
dttions associated with mental defects
and the pedagogic aspect of the work
should be supplementary rather than
dominant, as it Is now
That these same methods should
tapply to the work in our hospitals for
the insane ought to be obvious.
Much has been said in the direction
'of providing room and agreeable sur
roundings for the chronic, quiet and
well behaved patient; but practically
nothing is said about, or thought of the
proper provision for the disturbed pa
'tient, either acute or chronic. The diff
.culties that have arisen and still per-
,sist, are due to the retention Of the
asylum regime and the effort to make
1t applicable to the performance Of
hospital work"
DR.. Dewey spoke on the assistance
of destitute, convalescent and recov-
cred patients discharged from hospitals
for insane, saying, in part:
"The objects which suitable assist
ance and after care would secure
would be first the permanent restora-
tion Of many cases that relapse, and
self-support instead of public support
for years or lifetime.
"Second-The return to useful ac-
tivity of many who remain perma-
nently in the asylum who could care
for themselves II they could get a
start"
DR.. Walter Lindley, of Los Angeles
California. president of the Whittier
| State School of California, followed
with a paper on THE Evils of lnsti-
| twicnal Childhood" He said:
The best the state can do to help
the children is to foster the home and
the home spirit. There should be Or
ganized assistance provided for indi-
gent widows left with children by cash
| allowance, if necessary, so that they
could keep their children at home
while small and helpless"
DR.. Lindley showed how California
and New York were far behind many
other states in their effort to place
children in homes.

WORK OF GEN. eLAckMAR ENDED
suecumbs to Fatal Disease at Boise,
Idaho, While Engaged in Visit
ing G. A. r. Departments.

Boise, Idaho, July 17.-Gen. W. W.
Blackmar, commander -in-chief of the
G. A. R., died at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon .. interstitial nephritis. His
wife was with HIN during his illness.
The body will be embaimed and taken
to the home of the family i'll Boston.
The general arrived here on the 10th
on tour, during which he intended to
visit Grand Army posts throughout the
Northwest. He was Ill when he ar
rived and gradually failed. The SER
iousness Of his condition was kept
from the public at the request of his
wife.
General Blackmar was born July rs,
1S41, at Bristol. Pennsylvania. He en-
listed In the Fifteenth Pennsylvania
cavalry and subsequently Joined the
First West Virginia. He served with
distinction throughout the war and at
Five Forks was promoted on the field
by General Custer to the rank Of cap

tions, those Of Governors Long, Talbot!
and Rice, he was Judge advocate gen.
eral of Massachusetts. At the last ma
tional encampment Of the G. A. r. he
was elected commander-in-chief.
Boston, July 17.-Except to two or
three officials of the Grand Army the
news of the death Of Chief Blackmar
was received with great surprise in this
city. The home Of General Blackmar
was in this city and since his elevation
to the position of chief commander the
headquarters of the organization have
been here.
General Blackmar is succeeded by
John R. King of Washington, senior
vice commander.
Two weeks ago the commander-in-
chief broke down and was ordered to
his bed in his summer home at Hing
ham by his physicians. AT the time his
indisposition, however, was regarded
as slight.
On July 9th General Blackmar's con-
dition apparently improved and it was
decided to permit him to continue his
visits to western departments, which
had begun early in the year.
Assistant Adjt. Gen. E. B. Stillings,
commander of Kinsley Post No. 113, of
this city, Of which General Blackmar
was a member, will leave Boston to-
day for the West. He will assist Mrs.
Blackma- in arranging for the funeral.
