NORTH SEA DECISION VETO BY GOVERNOR
FORECASTED ACTION OF ExECU.
TIVE IS TAKEN.
SAYS He Is Not Convinced That the
Bill Was the Result of Calm
neditati0n or DeliberatiOn OF
the Members Who Voted for u.
Too Much Pressure.

Olympia, Feb. 27.-GovernOr Mead
today vetoed the capital removal bill
and at once transmitted his message to
the senate where it was read and by
q vote Of 10 to 10 sustained, two
thirds vote being necessary to pass the
measure over the veto.
In his message Governor Mead &C.
cus6s the advocates of removal of fore
ing the bill through by intimidation.
He asserts that Tacoma gives only a
promise. There is no written agree
ment or deed. The message concludes
with the following statement:
81 am not convinced that the pass
age of the bill was the result of calm
meditation or deliberation Of each and
all the members who voted for it.
From an inception of the consideration
of the measure, evidence has been con-
stan+ly accommodating that the bill was
forced through the legislature by a
process bordering close to the line Of
intimidation and coercion.
"Some of the members freely stated
that they dared not oppose the measure
and expect to receive favorable consid-
GRAFTON of certain meritorious bills in
which their constituents were vitality
interested.
"The highest and best interests of
the government can be best subserved
by interpreting an executive veto to the
measure where there exists in the mind
of the executive a doubt as to whether
or not the bill, receiving an affirmative
vote. was the result of voluntary DELHI
GRAFTON on the part of the lawmakers,
although it is question to be referred
to the electors for decision.
''The people at all times are entitled
to express candid, voluntary and hon.
est Judgment upon all public questions
and the selection Of public servants.
1 ask that the legislature be accorded
at all times the same privilege and pre-
rogative."
As soon as the message was read
Senator Baker submitted concurrent
resolution to put the capital removal
bill to the people to vote on. The mo
ton was carried. The resolution is
now on the calednar. 1t will be voted
on next Wednesday. It does not re-
quire two thirds vote and the govern
or has not the right of veto. If the
senate and house pass the resolution
the question will 60 to the people.

VERDICT FAVORS The BRITISH
CONTENTION.
commission Finds That There We're
No Torpedo Boats in the viCin.
Try, But That the Admiral Had
Reason to Believe He was About
to Be Attacked.

Paris, Feb. 27.-The decision of the
international commission of INQUIRY
into the North sea incident was pub
holy announced at the closing session
OF the commission. The decision
iengthily sets forth the circumstances
and incidents and gives the opinions
OF the admirals on the various impor-
tant points involved.
The decision says that delay of the
Russian transport Kamtchatka, fol.
lowing the breaking down of her ma
chlnery, was perhaps the cause Of the
incident. The commander of the
kamtchatka signaled to Admiral Ro-
Jestvensky during the evening that he
bad been attacked by torpedo boats.
The admiral therefore had reason to
believe he was attacked and gave or
ders for strict vigilance against the
possible approach of torpedo boats. i.
The majority of the commission con-
siders that Admiral Rojestvesky's or
ders were not excessive in time of war,
particularly under the circumstances,
and that he had every reason to consid-
or the situation very alarming.
1.-The commission, the decision
says, recognizes unanimously that
the fishing fleet committed no hostile
act and the majority of the commits
sioners being of the opinion that there
were not, neither among the fishing
boats or in their vicinity, any torpedo
boats, the opening of fire by Amdiral
Rojestvensky was not justified
The decision Gays further the Rus
sian commissioner did not share in the
latter opinion.
"In any event." the decision con-
tinues, "the commissioners are glad to
recognize unanimously that Admiral
Rojestvensky personally did all he
could from the commencement to the
end, to prevent the trawlers from be-
ing the object of fire by the Russian
squadron"
No Blame for Proceeding.
Concerning the squadron's proceed
ing without assisting the damaged
trawlers, the decision says:
"The commissioners are unanimous,
under the circum stances, preceding
and following the incident. that there
was such uncertainty concerning the
danger to the squadron to warrant Ad-
miral Rojestvensky in continuing his
route. However, the majority regrets
that the admiral did not inform the
neighboring maritime powers of what
had occurred.
The decision concludes as follows:
"The commissioners declare that
their views, as formulated, are not of
a nature to cast any disrespect upon
the military valor nor upon the senti-
ments of humanity of Admiral Rojest-
vensky and the personnel of his squad
rOn.''

The Truth Is Here.

There is really good deal of
truth IN the following from the
Pueblo Chieftain. 1t is too often
the fact. The merchant that does
not advertise is not as open and
above board with his prices as he
should be.
10 the Working People of
Pueblo. Saving money. in what
you are compelled to purchase
to feed and clothe yourself and
families, must of necessity be
one OF your aims in the manage
ment OF your affairs so as to make
your earnings cover your expen-
ses.
Very much depends upon where
you buy your goods as to whether
or not you are being gouged or
as 10 whether or not you are get
ing real bargains.
Aren't You always suspicious of
merchants that try to do business
without publicity, telling the peo-
pie what they have to sell and the
prices placed upon their goods.
Experience shows that these mer-
chants are not to be trusted in
their dealings with the public
The merchant who does not ad-
vertise his wares is always on the
lookout for suckers that he can
rob out Of two or three prices and
such a merchant never has the
SAM price TO any two customers.
This is the reason he does not adj
vertisc. He does not want to be
bound to any fixed price in selling
his goods. Avoid the stores of
such merchants as you would IA
pest house. Look over the adver-
tisers in the Chieftain to find out
what you want and then go to the
advertising merchant and the
Chieftain will guarantee the re-
liability and the square dealing of
such merchants.
Don't let amy person work YOU
for a sucker. Make your pur.
chasrs of reliable merchants.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Denver Union Stock Yards.
August - The receipts here
this morning were light Quality
was very good and the demand was
fair but unfavorable advices from
the eastern markets made trading
slow and prices are lower than
last weeks close. The trade last
week were rather uneven and hard
to get line on. Early in the
week the market was active and
steady and prices paid here were
higher than those at the river.
Later the heavy run, together with
unfavorable reports from the east.
had demoralizing effect on the
situation here and prices took IA
drop. Best fat steers were very
nearly steady at the close but com
mon stuff and COWS were right
around II quarter lower. Bulls
sold about steady throughout the
week, and veals were strong to "A
dime higher than the preceding
week. Feeders and stockers were
about quarter lower in sympathy
with lower markets east. The de-
mand all week was good for good
cattle. There was too many of the
common and inferior kinds on the
market. however. which was the
direct cause for decline. Choice
grass steers sold at $3.75 to S4OO
with the bulk of the business at
$3.2 to $3.S5. Best cows sold up
to $500 with most of the sales
around S5.25 to $3.50 and common
stuff from 1925 down. Bulls sold
at SLIGO to $500 and veal calves
around $3.75 to Si25. Feeders
sold up to $3.50 but it took good
ones to reach this price. Fair to
good grades sold at S2.I5 to 1925
with common steers down to $500.
The feeder market was some
what of disappointment. There
was fair demand but buyers were
not as numerous as expected, and
many cattle that should have gone
to the feed lots were forced onto
the killers. 1t is still very hot in
the east. Cattle do not do well
and feeder buyers are not ready to
stock up yet.
Our market here is in as good
shape as any of them and prices
last week We're relatively higher
than at the Missouri river markets.
Cows bought here at $3.50 sold
after being shipped east at 1920.
while several lunches of young
steers on which the owner refused
fair bid here sold for the same
money after being forwarded.
