The Rev. John L. Soudder. pastor sf
the First Conversational church, at Boyd

the splendid 100000 Peoples Palace,
was quoted in New York aftepnoon
paper to-day as saying
Il viii back Jack uarney. against any,
wrestler of 125 pounds weight IN tAe
United States"
The report caused somewhat Of assen-.
sation. for while Pastor Scudder has al.
WAYS been a devotee of athletics, evenkto
boxing and wrestling, in both of which
he is an expert, the impression at first
obtained that he had entered the list Of
hackers of professional pugilists and
wrestlers like William Brady, Sam Har-
ris. Joe Consadine and other recognized
money hackers of the sporting frater-
nifty.
THE remark . said the Rev. Scudder
this afternoon, is not TO be taken in that
sense. There will be no boxing or wrest-
ling bouts in the Peoples Palace for
money. If any professional wrestler
wants to come. along and engage in a
friendly contest with Mr.. Harvey. who
has been engaged as our physical in
structor. he will be welcomed by Mr.
Harvey And the more the merrier. but
not for money
At the bottom of the article in ques-
tion Pastor Scudder is quoted as say
ing that there shall be no gantDling at
such events. He is in earnest about his
challenge to all comers to- wrestle EEa9-
yey, who can weigh in at 125 pounds.

Commissioner Potts Outlines
A Scheme Which Chief
Murphy Says Has Been
Already In Force and
Has Proved Unsatisfac-
fnpu.
CHIEF OPPOSES THE CHANGES
WARNINGS OF DANGER PLACED
ON THE OLD HEADQUARTERS
BUILDING WHICH HAS NOT
YET BEEN OFFICIALLY ABAN-
DoNED.


At the meeting of the Police Board
last night Commissioner Potts offered a
resolution prescribing the duties of the
captains. sergeants, roundsmen and pa
trolmen and fixing the tours of duty.
He said he had showed the resolution
to Chief OF Police Murphy, who told
him that the department had been work
ing under the same rules for some time,
but that they had not yet been inserted
in the manual The Chief told him that
he was not satisfed with them.
The Chief opposed the changes at the
time they were made. The object was
TO give the men more time off, and the
Chief did not think the department could
afford it. AT the time the changes We're
made as an experiment. Last night they
were to be adopted permanently. Com
missioner Potts's resolution was as fol
lows
Resolved, That the following be and
the same is hereby adopted as a substi-
tuse for Rule 13. page p of the Man
ual:-
Policemen of every rank are always
on duty and liable to be called upon at
any time when their services are re-
Quired. and must respond unless excusr
ed, absent on leave, or on sick report.
The system of patrol and desk duty for
sersean nts, roundsnen and patrolmen
shall be as follows
There shall be four tours of duty
each twenty-fsur hours to be designated
and known as sFening teur. night tour,
day tour and dog-watch tour. The time
for each tour shall be from 8 A. NJ. to 5
P. NJ, day time; from P. NJ. to ~
midnight, every tour; from 12 midnigAt
to 6 A. NJ, night tour; from 6 A. NJ. to
8 A. NJ, dog watch tour. The duty day
shall commence at 8 A. NJ. and end at 8
A. NJ. next day.
'All captains shall equally divide all
the men under their command into ten
equal sections, bwo sections of which
shall do the day duty and four sections
the night tour. One section will do the
dog watch on their turn. One section
shall do reserve from 1915 a. M to 12
noon, with reasonable time for meals.
One section shall do reserve from LEO
6. m. to II o'clock midnight on their
turn, with reasonable time for meals.
The section doing reserve from 1915 a.
m. to II o'clock noon and the section fol-
lowing in reserve from 1:30 p. m. to IL
o'clock midnight shall relieve the men
on day duty from u O'Clock noon to 1:30
p. m. on their turn"
1t was decided to placard the old po-
lice headquarters building with warnings
Of hanger. This was done merely as a
precaution in case the old building
should collapse, as the department has
not yetoficially abandoned the building.
The CLERK was instructed to ask for
the Room No. 46. recently abandoned as
an office by Garwood Ferris, engineer in
charge of construction of the new water
works.

Z Marvelou. Toy Cannon.

Prof. William Suddards Franklin,
head of the department of physics at
Lehigh University, is said to have in.
vented harmless toy cannon designed
to take the place Of the deadly cast
iron affair filled with gunpowder and
which reaps a rich harvest of victims
every Fourth of July. BY applying a
well-known principle of chemistry he
has produced cannon which makes
report. but cannot explode; hurls
missiles which can do no harm, and is
flash of fire which does not scorch
tissue paper.
The explosion is caused by an elec-
trio spark igniting combination of
air and gas, somewhat on the principle
of gas engine. This discharges
cork, no other missile will do. and pro-
duces flame of SO low temperature
that 1t does not burn. Furthermore,
1t is said, 5000 shots can be fired for
a nickel.

SURE WATER SUPPLY
DENVER WILL NEVER GO DRY
Big croton Reservoir-Highest
Masonry Dam in the World.

Tie water in Cheesman lake. the
reservoir recently completed by the
Denver Union Water company, has
reached the highest point since the
construction Of the monster dam,
which is the highest masonry dam in
the world.
The water in the lake is over 100
rect deep to-day" said Walter S. Chees-
man OF the water company yesterday
Ihe reservoir now contains about 20.-
oVo,ooo,OOO gallons of water, its great
est capacity being 10000, 900. 900 gal
ions. This is the highest point yet
reached. If the water reached twenty
two ieet higher. it would flow over the
spiliway. Six months ago the lake con-
tained less than 160. 100000 gallons.
The total depth Of the reservoir is 212
feet
The capacity of Cheesman lake is
ABOUT the same as the big Croton res.
ervoir in New York. which is supposed
to contain about $4,000. .OOO. 900 gallons
OF water. However the Croton reser-
voir is not so deep and covers SO much
larger area that the danger of loss by
seepage and evaporation is increased
to such an extent that it really will
save no more water than Cheesman
lake
'Denvers water supply is now fully
assured. Besides this big storage at
Cheesman lake. we have also about
six or eight billion gallons OF water in
Marston lake, which is more than half
full. Exclusive Of these reservoirs, our
water rights would more than supply
the city OF Denver. We have esti-
mated that the people OF Denver will
consume about 1000. 900 900 gallons of
water the coming year. SO 1t can read
lily be seen that we are on the safe
side.
However, We do not count all the
waste OF water because several spells
OF drought might seriously draw upon
the reserve supply. In building Chees-
man dam. however. we have looked far
into the future and endeavored to in
sure an amply supply of water for the
city OF Denver for all time. Our loca-
tfon is magnificent, there being a wa
ter-shed of 1876 square miles of tim
ber contributory to Cheesman lake.
Denver is much better OFF than
either Chicago and New York, which
always have been handicapped by a
lack OF water. | believe that the big
Croton project in New York will, in
twenty years, cost fully one hundred
or even two hundred million dollars to
insure an adequate water supply for
New York. The expense will be al
most continuous one for that length
of time. for in spite of all the work
done. they will have to tap the Hud-
son river and filter its water to in
crease the supply.
Our supply has been assured at
much less expense and we feel that
with what has been accomplished.
Denver is safe as regards its water
supply for all time. Denver Republi-
can.

Small Estates In EnoIand.

It is considered strange that in Eng
land only one will disposing of as
much as $5.O0O,O00 had been filed dur
ing the financial year ending March
81. The average number of such wills
has been between five and six. Thus,
in 1900 there were nine estates with a
total of nearly $100.000.0O0; in 1901.
eight estates, total value more than
$4,000, 900; in 1902, five estates, with
the same total; in 1908, five estates
valued at $40 100000. and in 1904,
three estates valued at $25 100000. OF
twenty-four of the richest testators
only one was under 60 years of age
when he died; fourteen were over 20
years old and six more than 80 years.
The average age was 74k years. John
Dawson, who left $3,500,0O0, was SO
years old. The earl of Strathmore,
aged 70 years, left $4'751.000.

why young Men Exhibit No Fond
ness for Horseshoe Trade.
Master horseshoers throughout the
country complain that they are having
difhculty in securing a sufficient num-
ber of young men to learn that trade
1t takes man of judgment to properly
shoe horse and to comply with all
the regulations governing that calling.
Humane methods of horseshoeing have
made necessary an amount of study
and experience that most young men
will not undertake and acquire unless
1t promises a better position in life
than that of a master horseshoer. The
trouble is that when boys acquire the
education and knowledge called for by
the state regulations they feel that
they are entitled to "a better position"
than that of blacksmith False pride
is at the bottom of most of this feeling
of distaste for the ancient and honor
able trade Of the blacksmith. Skilled
horseshoers earn wages far exceeding
those at the command of workers in
many trades and so-called professions
that are not so dirty" 1t is the CRIME
and sweat that the blacksmith must
dabble in and exude that stand out in
