FROM DISTRICT JUDGE
TO PRISONERS DOCK.

From a judge on the bench to the
prisoners dock, and from mansion
on Capitol hill to a Larimer street
rooming house and finally from a
highly respected gentleman TO va
grant
These are the rounds in the ladder
of life ascended and descended by
Curtis H. Fields, an ex-judge of the
district court, and one time million
aire.
Fields was arrested yesterday at
the corner of Fifteenth and Market
streets. and after spending the night
in the bulpen with all classes OF
prisoners, was this morning called
before Justice OF the Peace Lindsey
to answer to the charges of vagrancy.
When his identity was known 10 the
court he was released.
Old-timers in this city can look
back and remember Mr.. Fileds as one
of the most prominent men in Den
yer. For forty-five years he has made
this city his home. Coming here in
the early sos, just out of a law
school, ne rapidly gained . splendid
reputation as a criminal lawyer. He
was later elected to the district bench
and served a number of years. He
owned considerable mining property
which brought him great wealth.
He was member of Denver's eXclus-
i've set. lived in a mansion and was
a leader in everything.
Then he developed an appetite for
liquor and became an habitual drunk
ard His wife. a lovely woman and
the mother of three bright boys, left
him and is now somewhere in the
city.
Gambling drinking and carousing
dwindled away his riches. His fine
house was sold and he moved. first
TO a first-class hotel. then to one of
lesser fashion. and finally TO cheap
lodgings on Larimer street.

the old man to the court this morn

He would not consent to being

WILL ABOLISH ORCHESTRA.

Orchestras are to be abolished

New York and other cities viii
doubtless follow suit. \ dispatch
from New York reads as follows;
At a meeting of the association oi
Theatre Managers of this city, held
Monday, the subject of abolishing
orchestras in the large playhouses
where straight dramatic perform
ances are given, was discussed at
length. Definite action was defer
red until the next meeting. Many
of the managers of Broadway theatres
where only dramatic entertainments
are given expressed the opinion that
the music between acts is unneces-
sary. They assert great number of
the patrons of the theatres always
leave their seats between the cur
tains. the music is practically lost
and therefore an unnecessary ex-
pense.

ALL FEAR CHINA'S NEW WEAPON
Other Nations Alarmed Lest Boycott Be
come General.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lO.-The State De-
partment to-day received a despatch from
Consul-G eneral Rogers at Shanghai say
ing that the students are In control OF the
boycott situation. that the Chamber Of Com
merce Is powerless, the Government In
active and representatives Of other nations
in China apprehensive over the present
situation and what 1t may lead to.
Government ofdce infer that he means
that the diplomats OF other countries in
China fear that the Chinese may adopt
the BOYCOTT against them The Chinese
have found the boycott apparently power.
full weapon. and the possibility Of Its spread
The inactivity Of the Government officers
as reported by Mr., Rogers is thought to
be due more to helplessness than to sym
PATTY with the boycott;
The definite establishment OF the fact
that these students are behind the boycott
raises the point as to who are behind the
students. Men In Washington who are IA
miliar with Oriental methods are certain
that the boycott Is backed by motives
which have not appeared on the surface.
BY some the movement is attributed to
merchants and commercial organizations
OF other countries, notably those OF England
and Germany, who are foremost with the
United States the fight for the Chinese
trade.
The Government gets from the present
situation the grain OF comfort that there are
nese must buy. II they refuse to buy d.
reotly from America, they will be compelled
to take American products from elsewhere
and pay more for them. Especially is this
true Of -four.
The anti-American movement has now
spread to Siam, according to advices re-
oeived at the State Department to-day
from Montgomery Schuyler, Jr, Charge
d'Afaires at Bangkok. Three thousand
Chinese there have instructed dealers
orders for American products.
Only few protests have been fled with
the State Department by American pro-
ducers, principally because no one has been
directly affected. It's not clear In the minds
Administration can do to Offset the move
ment. It has been shown that an appeal to
the Chinese Government can avail nothing.
