PosToFFicE FOR DENVER,
Senate Committee Recommends Large
Appropriation.

Washington.-In his report upon the
oil TO appropriate 81 800. 900 for a new
federal building at Denver, Senator
Warren presented the following facts:
The present public building in Den
Yer was authorized under an act OF
May s. 1882. The building was not
completed until 1898. and before it was
occupied it was found that the city
had grown to such an extent that the
building was not nearly large enough
to accommodate the federal business.
The inadeQuacy of the present build
ing at the time it was first occupied
was due TO the rapid growth of the city
and surrounding country after au-
thority for construction of the build
ing was given and before it could be
used
1T is estimated that when the orig
inal bill was passed, in 1882, Denver
had population of less than 10000.
BY 1890 the number had increased to
loo 600 and to over 1873. 900 in 1900, and
there had been corresponding growth
in the population of the state of Colo
RADIO and the entire Rocky mountain
region contiguous to that city. The re-
suit was an expansion of business far
in excess of the calculations of the
designers of the original building and
failure of the structure from the be-
ginning 10 meet the demands upon it.
The growth OF the city and contiguous
country has continued since the occu-
pancy of the present building in 1898
until now it is conservatiVely calcu-
lated that the city has population of
10000.
The consequence is that there is a
crowding together in public Offices of
officials. employees and papers that
should not be permitted. with conse
quent congestion of business that is
appalling.
Outside the federal building. To-
Gated in different portions of the city,
more or less remote, are offices OF the
United States district attorney. sur
veyor generals office, United States
land Offices War Department head
quarters department of Colorado. the
United States geological survey, recla-
nation service, forestry division and
pension Offices
The report quotes the recommended
ton of the secretary of the treasury
for new building, who states:
1T is estimated that four-story
and basement building of $4,000
square feet ground area will be suffi
tho dimensions indicated will cost ST.
800 900. 1t is estimated that suitable
site can be secured for from $500, 900
to SS00.000 additional
Comparison of Denyer's postoffice
facilities with those of other western
cities will be most interesting in this
connection.
Dallas, with a population of AZ SOS.
has postofiice building occupying a
full block front and from twice to
three times as large as the present
postoffice building in Denver.
kansas City has a postofiice build
ing four or five times as large as
Denver's.
The Omaha and Salt Lake post
Office buildings are two or three times
as large as the Denver postotfice
building"

MAIDEN MURDERER.
Girl Tries to Assassinate Governor OF
Moscow.

MOScow-Deterred not by the fate
Uf the girl assassin who was tortured
to death by Cossacks. a beautiful girl
with a mass of hair coiled high on her
head on Monday attempted to assas-
sinate Vice Admiral Doubasof, gov
ernor general of MOSCOW, and mem
Der of the council of the empire.
The girls beSuty. by which she eX
pected to like her |ictim Lnawares,
was so striking that it overreachcd her
object The Cossack on guard imme-
diately engaged her in conversation
When the Cossack remarked in a com
plimentary manner as to her luNur'ant
hair the girl turned pale and then in
continentlv fed.
She was pursued, and from ler
pretty black hair was taken the dead
liest kind of little bomb. The girls
guilty conscience led her to believe
herself discovered when the Cossack
referred to her tresses. The bomb was
cleverly hidden in such a manner that
the girl had only to gain an audience
with Doubasoff, and then putting her
hand in her hair in most natural
manner fling the deadly weapon at tha
governor general.
When she was overiaken she at
tempted to take her own life, but tha
poinard was wrenched from her hands
She was taken before the vice admiral
who asked her kindly why she desired
to kill him, but she looked at him with
the wide open innocent eyes of babe,
ana would make no reply. The vice ed
mifal remanded her to prison, but
gave orders she should be consider
ately treated It is hoped to establish
her identity with certain terrorist
bands.
The girl, like the one who met her
death after trying to kill Vice Admiral
Onoukin February 9Th, is under eiSD
cen, and is gloriously beautiful.

Diaappearance Explained.

Boise, Idaho-It has been learned
that the confession of Steve Adams
clears up the mystery surrounding
the disappearance of two of the men
who dropped out of the world during
the trouble at Telluride in 1902. One
case is that of J. w. Barney, foreman
of the Smuggler-U Union mine, and the
other that of J. Wesley Smith. Both
men disappeared mysteriously, Bar
ney was taken TO a livery stable by
n lot of men and was not seen again.
Smith was preparing to go TO Colo
RADIO Springs to visit his family He
disappeared from the hotel. He
formerly worked on the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine at Wardner. Smith
was a non-union man. What Adams
told about the disappearance of the
men is not known but there seems no
doubt that both cases have been fully
explained.

Shonts on Panama Canal.

Washington. - Chairman Theodore
p. Shonts of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, under examination all day by
the Senate canal committee, answered
questions technical and personal con
cerning the plans for the construction
of the great waterway and his rcla-
tons to the organization. incidentally
he left the inference that he would
gladly sever his connection with the
Clover Leaf Route If this was de-
manded, but that he would not take
his family to the isthmus. He gave
former Chief Engineer Wallace good
record ard said he was entitled to con
sideration in the matter of taking his
family to the isthmus.
Mr.. Shonts closed by urging Con
gress TO take action immedItely on
the type of canal to be constructed. He
said that economical procedure on the
part of the canal commission de.
manded such action.

FISHING CECiStON.
Anglers May Not Trespass Upon Pri.
vate Land.

Denver.-The State Supreme Court
declines to reverse itself in the famous
fish case, decided last July. There
fore, the law is that a person in the
pursuit of fish may not trespass upon
the land of anyone who objects, no mat
ter if the fish in the stream coursing
thrc>gh the land have been supplied
by the state.
the case came mp from Gunnison
county and is entitled A. Hartman, ap-
pellant VS.. George Tresise, appellee
The defendant went upon the land of
plaintif in error and broke down
fence while fishing. A suit for tres
pass was brought in the Gunnison Dis
trict Court and the judge dismissed it
on the grounds that citizen has the
right to fish on private land where
the streams are stocked at public eX
pense.
An appeal was taken to the Su
preme Court and Justice Campbell
wrote an opinion reversing the trial
court. He held that the Legislature
cannot make lawful trespass by any
sort of enactment. He was sustained
in this opinion by the entire court eX-
cepting Justice Steele.
The decision caused considerable stir
among the fishermen because property
holders along streams began TO nut up
signs and take toll Tor fishing, and
strong effort was brought TO have the
court review the case again. II was
finally reopened. Justice Gunter wrote
the opinion Monday, very briefly. how
ever, and attached Justice Campbell's
opinion to it. Justice Bailey dissented
and Justice Steele cOncurred with him.
Justice Gunter says that the case
really involves the question of riparian
rights and other matters that are now
before the United States Supreme
Court in the Kansas-Colorado water
suit, and therefore the State Supreme
Court would not discuss them. The
question involved that he dtH talk of
he said. WAS whether "a fisherman has
right TO fish where the game laws
say he shall not"
Justice Bailey wrote a lengthy
opinion for yesterdays decision and
concludes il with this statement: MY
excuse for filing dissenting opinion
is because of grave danger to the aSri-
cultural interests of the state by an
nouncement of the doctrine that the
state has not full and absolute control
oi the unappropriated waters of the
state. and the fear have that such
ruling will plunge the people into in
terminable litigation"

Commissioner leupp of the Indian of

erence 10 opening the Shoshone; In
dian reese rvation, Wyoming. and de
cided that it would be advisable to
have the opening, which is set for
June 18th, postponed for sixty days.
Commissioner Richards has submit
ted to the secretary of the Interior the
form of a resolution for presentation
to Congress proposing to make the
date for opening the reservation Aug
ust 18th, unless the President shall de
eide that IT should be opened earlier
The reasons for delaying the opening
are thai it is feared weather condi-
tions. high water in streams and lack
of railroad facilities at the time re-
quired for registration, which would be
Nav 1st, would retard the opening and
would make the reservation PRACTICAL"
inaccessible to any considerable num-
Der of prospective settlers.
Sixty DAYS later railroad building
toward the reservation from the north
and east will have reached their desti
nation, streams will have subsidized and
there will be ample facilities for set
tiers to go on the lands for examlna-
ton ana settlement. The state of wy
oming is making surveys of irriSable
lands On the part of the reservation to
be opened and these will be completed
in time for utilization by settlers il
the date of opening should be post

that the tools who committed these

the tools marked for destruction. and
the confession Of Steve Adams is said
to show that Orchard had been shad-
owed for a long time 1t is not believed
that Orchard knew that he was under

to believe that he stood in fea- Of

IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES.
How They May Be Organized in
Every Town.

The organization OF society is sim
pie. A president, secretary and treas
urer are the necessary officers, and
the committees which are appointed
may be as many or as few as are re-
quired, says Harper's Bazaar. Ii is very
desirable to interest the town officials
and the prominent citizens of the place
and secure their cooperation. The
school teachers should be enlisted and
through them the children may be
reached The young people also
should have share in making plans
for the town. The dues should be
small, possibly 81 a year paid in quar-
terry sums, and in some places q
promise of two days work a year Is
also added, one day being given to
home Improvements, and the other TO
those of a public character
The most important committee. be-
cause the one whose work is funda-
mental is that on sanitation. The
members are to investigate the towns
water supply, the public sewers and
drains, and the back promises of
houses. The refuse too often thrown
in rubbish heaps is to be carted away
and destroyed; a place is to be pro-
vided for ash piles, and one where gar

NEW EDUCATION BOARD


The personnel Of the new board of edu-
cation. it Is understood. will probably be
announced next Monday or Tuesday. Only
two of the justices Of the Supreme Court
Of the District Of Columbia are in the
city. but three Of the others are expected
to return here the latter part Of this week
The members Of the court are being del
uged with letters recommending persons
for appointment to the board.
As most of the justices are DESTROYS Of
departing for their vacations, it Is said to
be likely that Monday next will witness
the final conference as to the makeup Of
the new board.
Some fear was expressed that a delay
in the appointment might bring about an
interregnum, but should the board be ap-
pointed early next week little harm would
probably be done during the few days
which may elapse before the board can
meet and organize.
According to persons acquainted with
the work Of the school board July is a
very busy month, at least for the presi-
dent of the board. All acquisitions for
supplies for the ensuing year must be
signed by him in order to give the con-
tractors time to fill the orders. In many
instances it is said, ninety days notice
is demanded by contractors
