l. O. O. E. Bars Liquor Dealers.

Philadelphia, Sept. 20.-The real
work of the Sovereign Grand Lodge OF
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
began Monday, when various resolu,
tions for new legislation and amend.
ments to the present laws were intro
duced at the session. Discussion will
take place on the question of affilia.
ton with Manchester Unity. There is
considerable objection to the PROPOSE
ton, since 1t would admit negroes to
membership.
Chief interest In to-day's session
centered about the question of the liq.
uor traffic as being bar to member.
ship in the organization. The report,
which was approved by the body in
session, decides, in brief, that no one
can remain member of a lodge who
is engaged in the liquor business in
any way, unless he were member and
SO engaged and has been continually
since the first ruling was made at the
1895 convention at Atlantic City.
A feature of the conclave was the
parade of Odd Fellows this afternoon.
The line of march covered distance
or more than three miles and 1t is esti
mated that $4,000 men were in line.
Captain Allie Parker and her Califor.
mia drill corps, consisting of seventeen
young women, occupied a position
near the head of the line.
A reunion of past grand representa-.
tives took place tonight. at which ad.
dresses were made by F. C. Goudy OF
Denver and others.

TICKET BROKERS LOSE.
WHO HANDLED G. A. r. TICKETS
Judge Dixon Of Pueblo Imposes Heavy
Fines-RaiIroads Cannot Be Kept
Out Of Court for Failure
to Paw Tax.

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 20.-The three
defendants cited to appear before
Judge Dixon and answer to charge
Of contempt of court in having dis
obeyed the injunction against dealing
In Grand Army tickets, were yesterday
fined in the sum of $3.50 each. Thomas
May of Pueblo and William Schubach
and /. C. We'll of Denver were the men
fined. The case OF A. ]. Parks, also a
Denver broker, was continued until
Monday. The three men signified their
Intention of paying their fines at once. ,
The testimony went to show that
spoilers had been hired by the rail-
way companies to purchase tickets
from these brokers. One of these was
Mrs. T. NJ. Slusser. who, after several
attempts, succeeded in buying a Rock
Island ticket from the Pueblo broker.
The Denver men were caught in the
same manner and in one instance by
the same woman.
]. F. Crawford, Colorado Springs
broker who had been cited, was the
last defendant examined. The testi-
mony in his case revealed the fact that
he had not been named in the restrain
ing order and that he had sold tickets
upon the advice of Judge Orr Of Colo
rado Springs, who told him he was
safe in doing so under the circum-
stances. Crawford was discharged.
In announcing his decision in the
contempt proceedings Judge Dixon
delved deeply into the law and pre-
vious rulings Regarding the charge
, that the railway companies had not
paid their fiat tax, Judge Dixon said
that the state had forfeited it's right
to keep them from coming into court
by not bringing proceedings to compel
them to pay the tax. He said:
| Il concede the Legislature the right
to pass laws governing corporations,
but deny the Legislature the right to
pass judgment on its own laws, so
made. To merely state that these
roads cannot come into court because
they have failed to pay this tax, would
be divesting them of vested property
I rights without any process Of law at
all, and that cannot be done"
Among the railroad representatives
who were present at the contempt pro-
ceedings hearing were S. X. Hooper,
general passenger agent of the Rio
Grande; c. B. Sloat, general agent OF
the Rock Island; T. E. Fisher, general
passenger agent of the Colorado &
Southern; George Ady, general agen,
of the Union Pacific; N. Underhill of
the Colorado Passenger Association
and ]. F. Vallery, general agent of the
Burlington.

Santa Ee's New Line.

Chicago, Sept. 20-Western floods
caused the Santa Fe railroad loss of
more than $2,000.000 in the fiscal year
just closed. This is stated in the an
nual report, made public yesterday,
showing gross earnings amounting to
more than $68,000,000.
With regard to the Santa Fe's new
trans-continental line, it is said that
work is progressing at three points,
and 1t is expected that the entire line
will be completed this year. This line
will be somewhat shorter than the
route by way Of Trinidad, will avoid
two mountain ranges between Trinidad
and Albuquerque. and will be less ex-
posed to interruption by freshets. The
company is projecting a road from
WickeAburg. Arizona, across the Colo.
RADIO river to Bengal, on the main line
to California.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. Sept. Is.
Another week of heavy receipts at
the river markets sent prices down
again about Is to 25 cents, and the
trading has been more or less dull all
week. The market here was active
owing to a good local demand and did
not decline 80 much, some grades
even showing an advance for the week.
Good beef sold fully steady during the
first four days but on Friday offerings
were rather common in quality, which
gave buyers chance to hammer
prices somewhat Values, however.
closed very nearly steady on the good
kinds, although others note a decline
of about dime Some fancy North
Park steers sold up to $4.75 and quite
a number of the choice steers offered
sold at s4096460. Fair to good
grades sold at $3.OO@3.90. There was
q good active demand all week for
good beef steers. Cows also sold
readily and well Some choice ones
sold at $3.50, which is the best price
paid here this season, and a number
of sales were made at $3.00@3.10.
Bulk of the fair to good cows sold,
however at $2.35@2.90, with common
grades from that down. Good COWS
are duouL STEADY WIN q week ago, DuC
common stuff a little lower. Bulls
sold steady and veais were higher as
the demand is excellent and supply
light. Feeders and stockers We're act
i've to the extent of the supply. De-
mand was good and most of the offer
ings sold to go to the Nebraska and
Kansas feed lots, with few to Colo
RADIO points. Prices held up very well
considering the big declines reported
at eastern markets, but quotations are
shade lower than week ago. Most
of the business was done around $500
93.70 with the light and common stuff
at $2.5OQ3.OO.
Hogs We're plentiful, about twice as
many coming as the preceding week.
Demand was good, however, and they
all sold readily. Prices closed about a
dime lower than week ago with $5.35
representing the top.
Receipts of sheep have been liberal
at all points last week. Prices are
generally lower, the decline amounting
to 15@25c. Demand here very good
and all offerings sold at good prices.
Demand for feeders excellent but few
coming except those already con,
tracted.

MONUMENT UNVEILED
CITE OF sEEcHER ISLAND FIGHT.
Ceremonies Under Charge Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic
Address by General
Forsyth.

Denver, Sept. ia News special
from Wray. Colorado. last night says:
The Beecher island reunion closed to-
day with the unveiling of the monu-
ment this afternoon A heavy rain
last night greatly marred the ardor OF
the crowd, and the rain continuing all
the forenoon, many OF the people had
started for home. However, there were
several hundred present, and the beau
tiful ceremony was carried out in its
entirety.
The unveiling was in charge of the
department of Colorado and Wyoming,
G. A. r., and was to have been directly
in charge of DR.. Curfman, the depart
ment commander, but owing to sick
ness in the family he was unable to
be present, but Adjutant General Dan
iels was present and represented him
in the work, assisted by the depart
ment chaplain, DR.. Brooks of Fort
Morgan. The night Colonel Carpenter
arrived on the island with the relief
for the scouts they all joined in singing
"Tentins Tonight" and the ceremony
of unveiling the monument opened by
singing this song.
AS the words fell from the lips of
the singers tears fell from the eyes of
the survivors standing within the rail
ing about the monument. At the con-
clusion of the song General Forsyth
stepped forward and with short, but
appropriate address, dedicated the
statue to the heroes dead, to the heroes
living and to the heroes of posterty.
After his address Adjutant General
Daniels proceeded with the regular
ceremonial service of the G. A. r., and
just at the close Miss Alice Donovan
pulled the string that held the yelling
and the beautiful statue stood forth
free to view, a notable memory to the
purpose for which it was erected.
AS the veil fell to the base cheer
after cheer rent the air. This closed
the best reunion ever yet held at the
island, but now that it is assuming per-
manency through the efforts of the as
sociation, and mostly through the eff
| forts of the associations untiring presi-
dent, Robert Lyman, the people of this
vicinity are looking forward to many
more happy gatherings when they and
the scouts will gather in common re
union to live over again and again the
scenes that have made this spot IA
nous.
In addition to the monument, there
is now n beautiful headstone at the
grave of each scout buried there.
The battle of Beecher island began
September IL. 1868, and continued for
nine days, during which the Amer-
cans withstood the assaults of 1000
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, under
the personal command of that fearless,
sagacious and extremely cruel chief,
Roman Nose. Among those who gave
up their lives in this memorable strug-
gle on the then barren plains of
eastern Colorado was young Fred
Beecher, nephew of the late Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher

TWO CANAL PLANS
Presented to Board of Panama Canal
Engineers.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The board
of consulting engineers of the 18th
mian Canal Commission on Tuesday
devoted its time to hearing an explana-
ZION of the plans for canal which Mr.
Bunau-Varilla and Lindon w. Bates,
respectively, have formulated.
Mr.. Bunau-Varilla was engaged 'on
the canal work as an engineer under
the French regime and has given much
time to the study of the problem. Mr..
Bates is a civil engineer Of New York
MIR. BunauVarilla told the board
that under his proposed method ca
pal could be built and put into opera
tion within five years. 1t could be
deepened to sea level canal within
five years more.
The novel feature OF this plan is to
construct the locks from a foundation
below sea level. The highest lock
|on the canal as finished first would
be $50 feet above sea level. With the
locks built down to the sea level depth,
THE work of dredging the canal could
'be continued without interrupting Its
Operation for commerce. The same
locks could be utilized at every depth
until sea level was reached, when
the locks could be taken out
, This is regarded rather az n method
of treatment than a canal plan, as Mr.
Bunau- Varilla submitted no PROPOSE
ton as to the location of dams or other
suggestion regarding the engineering
features of the canal.
, The plan of Mr.. Bates combines
many suggestions which have been
made from the inception of the idea of
"a canal across the isthmus. 1t is es-
sentially different from that being
studied by the board in the location
and arrangement of the dams.
4 Mr.. Bates proposes to locate the prin-
tcipal dams on either side of the 18TH
mus close to the sea. thus conserving
the waters from the streams into two
mammoth lakes. He pointed cat that
this would eradicate the swamps and
tend to revolutionize the health and
sanitary conditions on the isthmus. His
plan does not obviate the digging of
Culebra cut.
The board was presented with the in
formation as to. every detail of Mr..
Bates plan in a pamphlet of nearly 200
pages Of closely printed matter. ac-
companied with maps and diagrams.

dition satisfactory In every respect
and they expect an uninterrupted con-
valescence. The diagnosis of mild. ir-
regular typhoid fever was agreed
upon"

BIG COLORADO LOANS
MADE BY THE EQUITABLE LIFE.
Amity Land and irrigation Company
Got Nearly Three Million
Dollars.

New York, Sept. 20.-That the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society paid out
s2lS,264 to the Mercantile Trust Com
pany in connection with certain loans
known as the Turner loans," and that
these payments were without authority
so far as the records of the society dis
close, became known to-day when Paul
Morton, president of the society, made
public a report on the subject submit
ted by him to the societys directors.
One of the loans was on the prop
erty of the Amity Land and Irrigation
Company in Colorado, which has alb
sorbed nearly s3,OOO.O0O of the Equita-
BILE society's cash, the exact amount up
TO July 1st of this year being $2,S09,-
633.
John W. Young of Salt Lake is
shown to have secured large loans on
collateral which proved worthless.
These transactions occurred in what
IMr. Morton refers to as the Turner
> loan" This loan, Mr.. Morton's report
sets forth. was carried in 1894 by the
Western National Bank, which was
controlled by the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society.
The collateral for the loans was OBJ
jected to by bank examiner and
t1euIS d. I1Su ue lHeH dSIeeA " lTdUSleT
the loan and collateral to the Mercan-
tile Trust Company. At that time ap-
varently the loans amounted to $661,-
a91.
George W. Turner, in whose name
the loan stood, was secretary to Louis
Fitzgerald, then president of the Mer-
camille Trust Company and close
business associate of Henry B. Hyde.
bn pta Inv NIor In
Hartley, John N. Searles, Louis Fitz-
gerald, w. N. Coler, Jr., and II. B.
Hyde.
March 81, 1895, the same guarantors
renewed their guaranty, the loan hav-
ing grown to $1,276,47S, the increase
being due to attempts to develop the
property on which the collateral for
the loan was made Part of this col
lateral was given by John w. Young
and consisted of Salt Lake & Eastern
railroad stock and other Salt Lake
stocks. This collateral proved to be
of little value.
Other collateral consisted Of con-
tracts of the Kentucky Mineral and
Timber Company and the Amity Land
and Irrigation Company of Colorado.
Attempts were made to develop the
Kentucky property and the Colorado
property and large sums were ex-
pended for that purpose, and by July
l, 1905, the cost of the Kentucky prop
erty stood at $6Is,OG7 and the Colorado
property at $2,SO9,63S. The Equitable
Wife Assurance Society paid the Mer-
camille Trust Company $218,264 on
these loans January %, 1900, and $780,
900 February 4, 1904.
1.-THE records of the society,"" said
Mr.. Morton, disclose no authority
whatever for these payments and the
cash entries in respect to them were
very obscure"
