TRACK MEN
GROW ANGRY.
ORDER STOPPING POOL SELLING
WILL HAVE FAR-REActiINo
EFFECT, THEY SAY.

CHENILLE RACE TRACK,
CLEVELAND, o.. July sf-when the
order to stop pool selling az the Glen.
Vile Track was communicated to the
officers OF the Cleveland Driving Park
Company there were first expressions
of anger. then OF regret. There was
talk Of calling a meeting of the
stockholders at once but 1t was final.
ly decided to take no action until the
next regular meeting OF the associa-
tion. The officers OF the company
seem unanimous that Cleveland will
lose its driving park after this season.
THE blow given to the sport here
today will, without doubt, kill 1t in
Cleveland forever" said President H.
NJ. Hanna, of the Cleveland Driving
Park Company. at is also practically
certain that Cleveland will lose its
famous driving park. The Cleveland
Driving Park Company is being made
the scape goat for all Of the trotting
tracks in the country.
II would not be surprised II after
the next meeting of the stockholders
the track would be disposed to the
highest bidder. Nothing will re
main then but to cut it up into
building lots.
THE blow will be greater than Is
thought. The movement must spread
throughout the State. In order to BIZ
consistent, the governor must stor
pool selling at every track in the
State. 1t will throw thousands of mer
out of work. There are seven hundred
working at the Glenville track this
very minute. Thousands of horse
breeders will suffer in consequence
of such action and the farmers will
probably suffer more than the rest
There will be no more racing al
Chenille after this season unless az
unexpected change takes place."

A large audience listened with
eager attention to the address of Lo
Foo Che. the Chinaman, at the First

was a real treat and the people man.
Tested great interest in the young

was practical example of the result
of missionary work in China and
showed what good can be accom-
plished by the spread Of the gospel.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE
Free Employment Agency.

One bill presented to the Legisla-
ture is Of considerable interest to peo-
pie who have devoted their time and
energies to obtain employment for
worthy men and women. In the Den
yer City Hall, there is free employ
ment bureau, which, during the last
year, has been a haven of refuge for
many worthy but penniless persons.
The bill in question provides Tor the
establishment of a number of public
employment Offices to be under the
management Of the state labor COM
missioner.
The bill was prepared by j. F. Call
breath, Jr., former president of the
Denver Chamber of Commerce. Police
Matron Imogene Clark and Mrs. Call
breath are working hard for the pas
sage Of the bill which has the indorse-
ment of the Denver Woman's Club.
The bill was presented by Senator AL
exander.
Just a year ago the Office in the
City Hall at Denver was opened by the
WOman's Club and since then employ
ment has been obtained for 3, l5 men,
women, boys and girls.
Such Offices" states the bill, shall
be placed in charge Of suitable persons
whose duty it shall be to make every
possible effort to provide employment
for all applicants therefor, and to make
record of all applications for employ
ment and help, together with such in
formation about the applicant as will
show, so far as may be, his capabilities
of service. No fee or compensation
shall be charged or received, directly
or indirectly, from any person or per-
sons applying
1t is provided further that any per-
son in charge of one OF these Offices
who shall receive a fee shall be fined
or imprisoned. An appropriation Of
$1,000 is asked for the maintenance
Of the Offices for the first two years.

appointed secretary OF the State Board

OF Auditors at a recent meeting of the

section referring to a state board Of
instruction for BARRIERS, that section
was stricken out.
Auditor Bent has issued an order
that hereafter printing for his office
shall go through the hands of the state

Denver, Feb. 5.-A Republican spe-
cial from Silverton last night says:
Denver daily papers of last Wednesday
contain the latest gol sfal news OF the
outside world that S-iv, rton has. The
town has been isolated by snow and
the siege this time promises to be one
of several days duration. Last even
ing's Denver train reached Durango at
9 o'clock last night and. because of the
danger in attempting TO get through to
this point in the night, remained there
until this morning. when it proceeded
as far as Elk park, few miles south
Of Silverton, where a gigantic snow
slide was encountered and the train
returned to Durango.
The slide is over a mile long and i'll
places covers the track twenty feet
deep. Two hundred Greek laborers
who had just arrived in Durango to
work on the Pennington railroad. were
pressed into service by the Rio Grande
management and brought to Elk park
to clear away the slide. A camp has
been established there and relays of
men will work day and night to clear
the track of snow and rocks and tim
ber which came down with the slide.
With the best possible management
1t is believed it will take until next
Tuesday to raise the blockade and get
trains through to this point. Should
other slides came down on the track.
II is uncertain when regular traffic can
be resumed.

Points Of the Decision.

Denver. Feb. Following are the
main points passed upon by the SUI
preme Court in maintaining the valid.
lty OF the law restoring capital pun
ishment in Colorado:
II Legislative journals show afiirms-
lively, either by implication or other.
wise. that the provisions of the consti-
tuition with regard to the passage OF
bills have not been observed bill is
invalidated. Es On
II legislative journals are merely, ST.
len. on the question 1t. must be pre-
sumed that the fundamental law on
the passage OF bills has been COM
piled with.
The objections urged against the
validity OF the bill are not supported
by the legislative journals of either
branch OF the General Assembly.
While the speaker of the House tes-
tilted that the amendments OF the bill
were not printed for the use OF the
house. this testimony Ia not to be con-
sidered.

Prisoners Should Work.

In the biennial report OF the State
Board of Pardons Secretary Hagar rec
ommends that prisoners, as far as pos
sible, shall be set at work to reim-
burse the state for the expense of their
maintenance.
There is no reason why prisoners
should not be supplied with material
and allowed to cut and make clothing
tor themselves and for other penal and
charitable institutions. The same IL
true of shoes and other articles Of ap.
parel. This state spends thousands Of
dollars IN supplies for the four penal
and four charitable institutions which
might be saved. Mr.. Hagar would
like to see broom and brush factory
started at which supplies for the state
institutions could be manufactured.
The bill for supplies OF this kind at the
state house amounts to great many
dollars each year. and it runs DIP in the
thousands when all the institutions are
considered.
Another big item of expense to the
taxpayers is in school supplies. such
as desks. tables. rulers, blackboards.
erasers. etc. A great many of these
things can be manufactured at the
prisons. Not far from Canon City the
state owns a fine piece of coal land
and Mr.. Hagar wants the Legislature
to let that be opened up by the pris-
oners. They can mine enough coal
there for every state institution. and
thus save many thousands of dollars
to the tax payers. At the same time
nobody is going to be hurt because
these things are in lines where they do
not interfere.

SUSTAIN ROOSEVELT
GOVERNORS FAVOR HIS POLICY
lndorse His Recommen for En-
Iarged Government Control Of
Railroad Rates.

New York, Feb. 6.-Interviews Sc
cured by the New York Herald from
many of the governors of the states in
the Union show a remarkable unan-
unity of sentiments regarding his ef.
forts to secure enlarged governmental
control of railroad rates. Almost all
support him in the stand he has taken
and wish him success in the fight.
Among these interviews are the follow
ing:
Gov. F. NJ. Warner, Michigan:
Il believe the President is on the
right track and that the country gen.
orally approves his course. Several i'm
portant interests in Michigan have suf-
fered by reason of determinations
which he is seeking to prevent. 1t GER
tainly does not seem that any one
should question the wisdom or the JUS
tice of such governmental regulation"
Governor, Adams, Colorado:
III President Roosevelt continues as
he has begun, and actually brings the
big corporations to a knowledge OF
truth that the law is for them as we'll
as for poor people, he will be one OF
the greatest Presidents this country
ever has had. President Roosevelt
knows what to do and how to do it.
the threats, cajolery and intimidation
of the giant combinations of capital.
This is not partisan measure, and l
believe the Democrats will be the first
to acclaim the greatness of the Presi-
dent If he finishes the good work"
Gov. John II. Mickey, Nebraska:
1.-The President has taken bold and
courageous stand, and | believe he will
succeed, as he deserves to. The rail-
road question is complicated at best,
but the President is on the right track
and the country at large knows it. Let
the prophets of evil rest easy. There
will be no crusades against wealth or
overturning of settled conditions. The
President is safe and sound and for
the square DEAL"
Gov. J. A. Johnson, Minnesota
II am strongly in favor of govern
mental control of railway freight
rates. l believe this question is Of VI
tai Importance to the public and in my
message to the Legislature l urged the
necessity of some Legislation on the
subject. When the Interstate Com
merce Commission decides on rate it
should be put in force Immediately,
and remain in force until, or unless.
changed by the courts
GOv. Joseph NJ lerreIl, GeOrSld.
president Roosevelt's policy on
governmental control of railroad rates
meets with my full approval and is
fully in line with the policy ofthe Geor-
gia Democracy, as expressed in its plat
form on this subject"
Lieutenant Governor Miller, Indiana:
Il indorse the Presidents policy fully
and unequivocally. l think the time
has come for a broadening Of the pow
ers of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission"
Among other governors speaking in
the same strain are the following:
Meade, Washington; Toole. Montana; /;
Elrod, South Dakota: Blanchard, Louis
lana; Gooding, Idaho; Brooks, Wyom-
ing; Utter, Rhode Island, and Davis of
Arkansas. A dozen or more governors
declined to be interviewed.

LIST ON
BENNINGTO ON
S|XTY-TWO
Pay Clerk Who Was Practically
Well Died Suddenly from
Effects Of Shock.
BY Associated Press.

San Diego, Cal, July 27.-The list
OF the Bennington dead now numbers
thirty-two, there having been two more
deaths, s. Tacate, a Japanese mess at
tendant, and H. A. Metius, pay clerk.
The case of Metius is peculiar. He
was able to walk up town after the
accident and was thought not to have
been badly injured. After his wounds
had been dressed he was out on the
streets. Suddenly he collapsed and
had to be taken to the hospital on a
stretcher 1t is supposed that the
shock and g weak heart were the
causes of his death.
The Bennington is now ready to go
north. But should Admiral Goodrich,
who is due here. decide to hold an In
quiTy here, the presumption is that the
Bennington will not be taken north
until the investigation is completed.
