CHIEF MATTHEWS
FOR COMMISSION |?
Republican Machine Said to Have Slated A. Herbert Arnold
Succeed COL Cross Thereby Forcing Out Chairman Luther
and Making Room for the Present Chief Who, With the
Vote of the "Man Who Sat the 1earing Would Become
Chairman of the Board.

{ That Chief OF Police Frank A. Matthews
was sometime slated as the Republican
machine choice for police commissioner
to succeed Harold ]. Gross at the expir-
alton OF MIR. Gross term next January,
that this would force Commissioner Will
liam II. Luther into retirement. and that
the vacancy thus created would be filed
by the appointment OF A. Herbert Arnold,
an aspirant last year for Mr.. Luther's
seat. 10 the statement made In certain re-
sponsibie quarters today.
Whether there has been n change IN
the program. or merely halt pending
developments I'm the Cristy Matthews
case now on trial. and In the result Of the
fall campaign. remains TO be seen
The story goes-and IL has earnarks OF
truth-that It was planned before the
campaign Of last year to retire Commis-
sioner Luther and appoint Mr.. Arnold.
On this understanding. the support OF
the submerged tenth was given To the
Republican candidates from school COM
mittes up to governor.
No greater blow to those who engineer
Cd the deal and made false promises In
the name OF Gov. George III. Utter could
have been imagined than his downright
refusal to appoint Mr. Arnold and his in
dorsemsnt OF Mr.. Luther for reappont-
ment.
The result Is that the governor may be
marked for retirement at the end OF his
present term, and some other more COM
plaisant and coiorless Republican be
nominated a. the standard bearer.

getting out of the penitentia-y. He
had looked carefully into their numer-
Gus allegations and felt assured that
| up 10 date they had no case worthy OF
0e consideration of the Board OF Par
dams. The emphatic attitude Of the goy-
| er0or indicated there was no necessity
for the filing OF the petition OF the
grand jury. though Willis F. Wolff, q
member OF that body. seemed TO be
| under impression that there was. He
| circulated the petition.
Governor Mcdonald frequently has

should serve their full time. He would
| not issue a pardon for them, even with
| the recommendation of the pardons
| board, as the latter body merely acts in

| Imboden in their petition for pardon.
On file in the Office OF the secretary OF
| the Board Of Pardons are numerous
sensational charges against men who
have been connected with the case.
Governor Mcdonald says that the
| board instructed Attorney Debolt to

Iiaer. Tap Rubber Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
is a prosperous rubber factory run by
q long headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made 1t is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district, but there are
an abundance of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap" the trees, but
the Scotch proprietor hit on bril-
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond Of valerian SO be gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stun. The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark in
the most approved herringbone fash
ion, after which all that the coolies
had to do was to walk around once a
day and collect the rubber.

ROCKY FORD MELONS.
Great Preparations Making for Water
melon Day.

Denvcr.-Senator George w. Swink.
the Nestor of Arkansas valley agri-
culture, and Mr. George Hail, secretary
of the board OF trade of Rocky Ford.
were in the city yesterday in consulta-
ton with Col. J. p. Hall of the santa
Fe regarding arrangements for Water
melon Day celebration.
The famous feast occurs september
9th this year, and it is believed the
arrangements agree il to be the biggest
of all tire events. Special trains VIII
be run from Denver, Trinidad and
eastern Kansas. The visitors report
the melon crops finer this year than
ever Canteloupes have been shipped
out by express fer some days, but the
first Rocky Ford shipments went out
Yesterday. The melon crop is ten days
late this year owing to the wet, cold
spring.
The hot weather of late mas ripened
them fast and the shipments will con-
tinuc from now on until the frosts cut
the vines off. The quality of melons
this year is unusually fine and there Is
a large crop, although the acreage
planted now is not as large as for
merly, many ranchmen preferring to
turn their land into sugar beet cultiva-
ton. There will be an abundance OF
both watermelons and cantaloupe for
the feast day.

more serious results to the inmates.
Mr. Fennessey was being shown about
the home by the matron. Mrs. Charles
Deacon. When they came to the laun-
dry building il was discovered to be in
flames. Mrs. Deacon ran into the main
building and blew the whistle, which

Mr.. Fennessey had succeeded in eX-
tinguishing the flames with several

Everything has not been smooth sail

OBJECT TO JAPANESE.
Oriental Fruit Pickers Not We,somed
at Paonia.

Denver-A dispatch of the 18th inst.
from Paonia, Delta county, says. En-
couraged by fruit growers who feared
they would not have help TO save peach
crops, thirty-fiye japanese arrived at
Paonia yesterday from Utah. There
were immediate objections from pack
ing plants and. backed up by some of
the prominent merchants of the town,
these people decided 10 force the Tor
oisners to leave.
Those responsible for the coming of
the japanese claim that not enough
white labor can be obtained and that
thousands of dollars worth of fruit will
90 to waste for want of help to handle
it. The anti-Japanese element insist
that efforts should first be made to OBJ
lain American-born help and claim
that the japanese take everything
from the couLery and give nothing in
return. and make cheap-living and un-
desirable citizens.
Twenty of the Japanese left his
morning and the rest remained under
threats of bodily harm.
During past seasons The wives OF
merchants and business men have vol
unteered to help save the fruit crop
, and the high school has been suspend
ed from four to six weeks during the
packing season and the students
pressed into this work. This year the
crop will be the largest in the history
of the section, and the labor scarcity
will be more marked than ever.

New Crimes by Bank Looter.

Chicaeo-The belief that large
amounts of collateral given as security
for notes in the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank. have been stolen. practi-
cally became certainty last right,
when note for $4,000. known TO be
genuine, was found in President stems
lands house at Byron street and Lawn
dale avenue Search was made for the
collateral security, but it could not be
found.
The discovery opened up a field for
almost unlimited speculation as TO how
far the looting proceeded before Stems
land disappeared. If the real estate
and other securities in the bank have
been stolen or are found to be worth
less, the amount of money left 10 pay
the depositors probably will be reduced
to as low as twenty-five per cent.
