COLORADO CITIES WANT
BETTER FREIGHT RATES
BY Associa ted Press.

WASHINGTON, Oct. pa COM
plant in which the long and short haul
question and incidentally the Standard
Oil company figure was filed today with
the Interstate commerce commission.
The complaint is the Merchants Traf-
fic association of Denver, an organiza-
tion formed to promote the welfare of
Denver and Colorado state points, and
the defendants are the Denver & Rio
Grande, Colorado Midland Atchison,
Topeka &, Santa Fe, Chicago, Burling-
ton G. Quincy, Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, Chicago G. Northwestern, Col
orado & Southern, Missouri Pacific and
Union Pacific railroads.
The complaint charges that the de-
fendant lines charge a greater freight
rate to Leadville, Glenwood Springs
and Grand Junction on and to interme-
diate Colorado points than to Salt Lake
and Ogden, and other points in Utah
three hundred miles further from Chi
cago than the Colorado points.
1t Is pointed out in the petition that
no such discrimination is practiced in
the trans sportation of oil, the rates to
Colorado and Utah points from Chicago
being identical because, the petition al
leges the Standard Oil company ,"by
reason of its great power and influ-
ence, has been able to exact from the
said defendant railroads a due obServ-
ance of the said act of congress for the
regulation of Interstate commerce"

cepted $500 for services rendered the
Rialto Grain and Securities company of
ST. Louis before the postoffice Depart
ment at Washington on a fraud order
proceeding.
AS he stepped from the train this
morning he said:
"I am sfeeling very we'll, under the
circumstances. l had a good night S
sleep and am greatly refreshed this
morning. Perhaps the trees and bluffs
naturally look better to me this morn

don't allow myself to think about that. I"
Mrs Burton maintained her COM
posure rema rkably well.

hand than at this moment. when he is
on his way to JAIL" she declared at the
Union station. II know who our friends
are, and 1 intend to be friendly with
them, but I shall reserve the right to
say who shall be my friends"
Mr. Burton dined with his wife and
niece at the Southern hotel and in ac-
cordance with arrangements made
during the forenoon surrendered to
United States Marshal Morsey at the
union station at 2 o'clock.
They shook hands and talked to-
gether few minutes Then, accom-
panied by Mrs. Burton and niece, Mar

WANT GOLD KEPT AT HOME
Leading French Financiers Watch the
Monetary Situation Closely
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
PARIS, Oct. 22.-The leading French
financiers are keenly watching the mon =
etary situation abroad The money sit
uation in France is fairly good, and the
French bank will not hurt French in
terests by raising its discount rate.
At the same time 1t is considered tina t
the Bank of France might make loan
of gold to the Bank of England, to re-
lieve the conditions there. 1t would, it
is asserted, resist Withdrawals of gold
for America.
A prominent International banker ex-
pressed the opinion to the Associated
Press that the United States would not
get much more gold here, as the bank
would block any attempt in that direc-
ton, not by raising the discount date,
but by exercising its option to pay in
silver. The banker said he expressed
the view of French bankers in saying e
the United States had sufficient funds
for the legitimate requirements of trade
and that there was no reason why you
should help to finance the speculative
movement in New York.
Exchange today was considerably
below the export point.
At the Bank of France reticence was
manifested in regard to the extent
ing to help out the Bank of England,
but it is considered unlikely that the
assistance, if accorded, will reach $780,
c0O,0O0 to $40,0O0,0OO, the amounts re-
ferred to in current reports.

At the station Carpenter appeared
dazen and the desk sergeant said
drugs or liquor might have caused his
condition. He died a few hours later.
Carpenter came to the notice Of the
police about two years ago when
complaints against him began to come
in. These were multiplied rapidly and
he was arrested on December 2, 1905,
but the case against him was dis
missed. On August he was arrested
again on complaint of Frank McCuddy
and together with E. G. Talmadge,
Martin Rohan and Fred Todd was
held to the grand jury.

rested soon afterwards and together
with Carpenter were indicated by the
July grand jury on a charge of swind-
ling.
Carpenter was arrested early il.

afterWard it was said he began to
drink. He pawned his overcoat,. his
watch and his cuff buttons and nearly
everything else he had for $50, the po-

Cortelyou to be secretary of the treas
ury. George Won L. Meyer to be post
master general. Victor Howard Met
calf to be secretary Of the navy.
Charles Joseph Bonaparte to be attor-
ney general, the place of secretary of

remaining to be filled by the selection
OF a man who has not been considered

These are the cabinet changes which

when Leslie NJ. Shaw VIII retire as
secretary of the treasury and William
II. Moody will give up his cabinet
place to enter upon the practice Of law
with a Boston firm.
Since the return to Washington Of
President Roosevelt there has been a
renewal Of the gossip of cabina
changes, but until now it can be said
that the president has made no an
nouucement other than that Mr. Meyer
now ambassador to st. Petersburg, is
to return to this country and enter the
ca abinet. The changes set forth can
not be given s final and authoritative,
but they can be taken as the conclusion
OF the president thus far in advance
OF the time Wnen ne Will nave u dCl
informally and fully,
The president long ago decided to
put Mr.. Cortelyou at the head of the
treasury department and it is known
that when Mr.. Bonaparte went into
the office of the secretary of the navy
it was with the understanding that he
would be transferred to the depart
ment of justice. where the work would
De much more congenial
The president, in his readjustment of
his official family, does not intend to
make announcement Of his conclusions
until about the first of the year, as he
reserves for himself the privilege and
opportunity of making changes in his
present plans, if conditions prompt
him to do SO. II can be taken as as
sired, however, that this correctly rep
resents his present determination in
the matter.
There is perhaps little foundation
for the reports that James Garfield,
now head of the bureau of corpora
tionS, is to head the department of
commerce and labor. 1t seems much
more probable that If any one is Sc
lected within the present personnel of
the department., Lawrence o. Murray
Will be the man.
Secretary Taft when asked recently
the direct question if he would be the
next president of the United States,
or If President Roosevelt would agree
to serve a third term said:
iI'll answer the first part of that
question, but 1 can not speak for any
one but myself. l am not going to be
the next president. You can feel very
sure Of that What Mr.. Roosevelt will
do, | can not say. | am not authorized
to speak for him.p

formation of the great suffering en-
tailed by the cyclone which swept over
the western part of Cuba, including
Havana and Pinar del Rio, where the
society has large school similar to
the one on Point Iona.
Those affected most seriously by the
disaster are Cuban families of the
poorer classes, who have had their
homes completely destroyed. The suf-
fering cannot be estimated in America,
and today there are many old women
and helpless mothers and children ex-
posed to the lack of shelter due to the
almost daily rain storms.
Mrs. Tingley has made an appeal for
aid and this evening will address a
