cial from Golden last night says: Be-
cause he loved in vain, Roy Arnold
ranch hand who for several months
had been employed in the Ralston

him he left the house in Respondent
frame of mind. This morning he pro-
cured bottle of carbolic acid and pro-

more than 1000 union men followed
the remains of strike victim George S.
Pierce from his late home TO the un-
ion station here yesterday.
No funeral services were held here,
but the escorting of the body to the
station was made the occasion of Ia
bor demonstration in which not only
the teamsters' union, but organized la
Dor generally, participated. The prog
ress of the cortege was without Incl
dent. The men marched solemnly four
abreast. Each wore upon his coat
lapel white button with the inscrip-
ton in black:
I'VE mourn the loss of a murdered
brother"

President Reaches Home.

Washington, May 13.-President
Roosevelt reached home at midnight
Thursday night from his Western trip,
which he regards as one of the most
enjoyable journeys he has taken since
he has been President. He travelled
6OO6 miles and passed through twelve
states and three territories-Maryland
pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana.
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Indian Ter
ritory, Texas, Oklahoma. New Mexico,
Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa.
Every state and territory in the
United States except Florida and Ar
kansas have been visited by Mr.. Roose-
welt since he became President, and it
is his intention to accept the hospital
ity of these states before his term Is
finished. 1t is probable that he will
make a tour of the South some time
before the convening of Congress in
the fall.
The demonstrations at every point
where the President spoke are said by
the official members of the party to
have been the heartiest that have been
accorded him on any trip.

LAKE GEORGE CUTOFF
DENVER & CRIPPLE CREEK LINE
New Route Planned by Colorado &
Southern-From Platte Canon to
Great Gold Camp.

Denver, May 15.-The News this
morning says: Cripple Creek is to be
within two hours of Denver, instead
of five, as at present, the distance to
be reduced from 13l miles to less than
ninety. This Is what the Lake George
cutoff of the Colorado & Southern will
do toward bringing the principal
points of Colorado closer together.
Four years ago the proposed cutoff
was surveyed. and it was the intention
to build it then. The change in the
ownership of a number of the Colo
rado railroads changed this. however,
and the plan was practically given
up, although 1t was realized that 1t
would be of untold benefit not only to
the great gold camp, but to Denver as
well.
Now that the Colorado & Southern
has perfected all of Its plans for be-
coming great continental system.
this cut in both the running distance
and the time will be put into effect as
soon as the new road can be built.
The cutoff will probably begin at
Dome Rock, on the Leadville branch
of the Colorado & Southern. Dome
Rock is thirty-two miles from Denver,
and from there cutoff of forty-two
miles will be run straight across the
country. meeting the Colorado Midland
road at Lake George. From there 1t
is about ten miles into Cripple Creek.
This is not the only extension
planned by the Colorado Southern.
AS foretold In the News. the intention
Is to make it q transcontinental line,
reaching from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. 1t Is to carry out these plans
and to look the ground over that Presi-
dent B. L. Winchell Of the Rock
Island who is also interested in the
Colorado & Southern. will arrive in
Denver to-day or tomorrow with
party of railroad men. In the party
is w. II. Moore of Moore Bros, who
control the Rock Island; d. G. Reid,
chairman OF the executive board; Sec
ond Vice President Nudge and Third
Vice President Biddle.

AN IMMENSE WINDMILL.
Largest Windmill in the World Near
San Francisco.

The largest windmill in the United
States, II, indeed. not the largest in the
whole world, has recently been con
structed near San Francisco. This gi-
gantic mill Is located directly on the
ocean beach, near the famous Seal
rocks. 1t is used for pumping water
up into Golden Gate park.
The huge, strong wooden tower sup
porting the wind arms rises $50 feet.
1t is forty feet square at the base. very
securely anchored and gradually ta-
pers upward, assuming a round shape.
There are four immense wooden arms,
or vanes. Each arm measures eighty
feet from the center or hlb-thus maxi
ing diameter of 100 feet in describing
the circle. The wind vanes are six
feet wide and extend nearly the en-
tire length of the huge arm. thus af-
fording the greatest possible amount
of wing space for catching the air.
This windmill is located upon a
prominent elevation, so that it may
catch every available wind arising in
that section.

When the code words standing for
the names of the Interstate Commerce
commissioners were read, laughter and
handclapping among the shippers
caused chairman to rap for order.
To questions regarding prices had
by various railroads for icing cars, Mr.
Streyckmans replied:
1.-The Northwestern billed ice at 81
ton. That furnished by the Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul was billed at
$3.50. with n rebate Of 81 being
granted on counter claim. In the
case of the Erie it was SIPS. This
gave large profits to the Armour
lines"
Showing what he claimed to be dis
elimination among shippers, Streyck-
mans declared that former Lieut.. Gov.
Aldon Anderson of California paid
fifty-five per cent. of the tariff rate on
his shipments.
among those who received more
than at fifty per cent. rebate" said the
witness, were Frank II. Buck of San
Francisco, the Earl Fruit Company.
the Porter Bros. Company, the Pro-
ducers' Fruit Company and others.
Those who paid and received less than
fifty per cent. rebate were Stephens
& Humphreys, s. r. Roper, Schnadel
Bros. George d. Kellogg and others -
He said the net cost of ice to the
Armour car line on the New York Cen
trail was 81 ton, on the West Shore
road $3.50 ton. on the Baltimore &
Ohio $3.50 ton. on the Pennsylvania
lines 50 and $3.50 ton. Streyckmans
declared that the profits to the Ar
mour lines on the icings ran as high as
500 to 600 per cent.
1.-The profits per car on shipments
from California to New York said the
witness. were on an average OF
$S6.50."

Nan Patterson Liberated.

New York, May 13.-Nan Patterson,
the one time Florodora show girl, was
released from the Tombs prison yes
terday after almost year within its
walls awaiting determination OF the
charge that she had murdered her pro-
tector, Caesar Young, race track
bookmaker. She will leave for Wash
ington at once. She was loudly cheered
by a crowd of 1000 persons as she left
the prison. Her release was made at
the instance of District Attorney Jer-
ONE, who said he did not believe an
other trial would result other than in
a disagreement.
At the same time he declared that
there had been a serious miscarriage
of justice. He said many of the news
papers had labored to create sympathy
for the girl, and that this case had
caused one more step toward trial by
newspapers rather than trial by jury"

English Motor Vehicles.

Motor vehicles for carrying or haul
ing heavy loads are now SO much used
in England that their operation is
closely guarded by government super
vision. United States Consul Mahin
at Nottingham has made "A repor- on
the subject. Hitherto" says he, the
legal weight limit of an empty motor
car has been three tons. Now ii is
raised to five, with an increase in the
legal joint weight (unladen) of mo
tor car and trailer from four to six
tons. Heretofore there has heen no
legal weight limit to the Dad on
motor car. but the new regulations aim
to prevent excessive loading. The to-
tai weight of car and load is limited
to twelve tons. The weight borne on
any axle shall not exceed eight tons"
