STORM

Denver, Oct. 24.-The snow storm
which began last Friday night still
continues throughout Eastern Colo

New Mexico, Western Texas and
Western Kansas and Nebraska tits
said to be the heaviest October Snow
storm here which there Is any record
of. The total snowfall in Denver was
tWenty-three inches.
The temperature continues to hover
around the freezing mark and thus
far but comparatively little damage
has been done. :.
According to stockmen who are In
Denver the cattle on the ranges win
not suffer greatly as a result of the
storm. They are said to be in excel
lent condition and well able to with
stand a hard storm. Fruit on the
Western slope will probably suffer
considerably, as not more than half
the apple crop has been picked owing
to lack of help.
Trains on both the mountain and
prairie roads have been greatly de-
layed and some city streets have been
rendered almost impossible. Other
wise no serious consequences have yet
resulted from the storm in this yicin-

Shaw's plan to increase available cir

: An officer of one of the leading ma

said he thought the plan would bring
good results as an object lesson in.
elastic currency. He thought that the
working out of the plan would serve
to demonstrate to congress the adj
vantages that would follow the adop-
ton of scheme of elastic currency.
Congress may also be
Influenced by This Experiment
to repeal the law which now limits
the requirement of national bank cir
culation to $3,0o0,000. This official
said that his own bank would certainly
take out all the circulation to which it
may be entitled under this plan and
he thought that most other banks

take their share of the new circula.

Secretary Shaw's plan for an in

substitution to the extent of $4,000,

bonds so released shall Immediately
be used to take out additional national

ONLY ONE /
Lone Survivor Of Grew oil
Thirty three Rescued
by Steamer

s4 New York, Oct. The solitary
survivor Of thirty three men who went
adrIft on the barge Or louseboat
Halfy from Lower Matacombi Key, on
the coast Of Florida, during the ter
rifle gale Of Oct. Is, was brought into
this port during the day by the steam
ser 81 Paso. He is John Russell Of
Salem Taylor county, Fla, and he
declared that he saw eight Of the
thirty-tWo others drowned and believes
that all of them went down when the
barge foundered. : ss,.#5
Russell was &drift In a stormy sea
for nearly two days and one night,
sclinging to bits Of the barge which he
gathered together to form q raft.
When the 81 Paso, bound from Gal
weston to this city, was off Alligator
lighthouse on the Florida coast last
Friday afternoon the lookout sighted
Russell still hanging to the raft, al
most TOO exhausted to call for help.
He was quickly taken on board and
received the best OF care.
Russell said that he was engaged
In railroad building at Lower Mata-
combi Key and was attached to the
sdredge Oyama when the gale swept
down upon them. Thirty-three OF the
men who we're employed with him
took refuge on board the Halfy, but
the frail craft quickly broke away
from her noorings and IN the height
OF the gale was smashed to pieces.
Eight Of the men were rendered un-
conscious from injuries suffered In the
smashing Of the barge or were beaten
insensible BY the driftWood among
which they were thrown after the
barge went down. He saw other
members of the party who had sur
vtved the sinking Of the barge cling
ing to small skiff. He believes that
they were lost.

LAW HELD TO BE ILLEGAL.
Railroads May Forbid Employees to
Join Labor Unions.

- Join Labor Unions.
Louisville, Oct. 24.---ln the United
States district court Judge Walter
Evans, in the case of the United
States VS.. j. NJ. Scott, a train dis
patcher for the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, on trial for alleged vio-
lation of the Erdman act, which seeks
to. prevent interstate carriers from
keeping their employees out of labor
unions, held that section 10 of the act
is void because it is not a regulation
Of commerce within the meaning of
the commerce clause of the Constftu-
ton and therefore beyond the power
Of congress to enact. The court sus-
tanned the demurrer to the Indictment
against Scott and discharged him from
custody. Scott discharged an oper-
ator in the employ of the Louisville
and Nashville and the Railroad Teleg-
raphers' union took the matter to the
courts.
