AFTER BETTER RATES

AT the monthly meeting of the Busi-
ness Mems Association Monday even
ing committee of five was appointed
to take up the rate question with the
railroad management. The committee
named was A. II. Davis, A. II. Seely.

The principal sufferers by the pres
ent discrimination are the grocers.
From Pueblo the rate on the four
classes OF freight are: Fourth class.
% cents hundred: third class. %
cents hundred; second class. "a cents
hundred; first class. 40 cents hun
dred.
Last summer the rate on third class
freight was 30 cents. The Continental
Oil company was big shipper of oil.
The rate on oil to Florence was 90
cents. and from Florence to Canon 3
cents. The oil company billed its oil
to Florence and then re-billed to Can
on, saving cent a hundred in freight
and causing the railroad company the
trouble of re-billing and handling in
the Florence yards. The company has
changed the rate on this class to %
cents IOT tiilS Teaisou
A year ago the differential rate be-
tween Florence on the four classes of
freight varied from three to five cents
a hundred pounds. A great deal of
the freight was hauled in wagons from
Pueblo making a very perceptible saw
ing in the charges. The railroad man
agement then made Florence a rate
that destroyed the business of the
freight haulers. The Florence mer-
chants now pay 16 cents a hundred on
fourth class freight, 90 cents on third
class. "a cents on second class and "a
cents on first class freight. The diff
serential is from s to 13 cents.
The distance from Pueblo to Canon
is 40 miles, and to Florence 80 miles.
On the face of It the Florence mer-
chants have a decided advantage over
the Canon merchants. The business
of the committee appointed Monday
evening will be to secure for the Can
on merchants an equitable rate.

CLUB PREST. HORTON
BOARDS WITH CITY

Judge Bailey denied the writ of ha-
beus corpus asked for by David Hor-
ton, the club president. and remanded
him to the custody of City Marshal
Houston. A new application was ask
ed by Horizons attorney Tuesday and
this will be heard on Monday. Mean
while Horton languishes in the city
prison. but the saloon keepers are free
to ply their traffic. Horton is not a
saloon keeper, but lent his name to
the liquor men as president of a club
established TO evade the liquor laws
of the city. He was tried in police
court and convicted along with the
saloon keepers, of selling liquor con-
trary TO the ordinances of the muni-
cipality.
When the cases were appealed to the
county court all of the cases against
the saloon keepers were appealed and
bond given. In Mr.. Horizons case one
case was taken up regularly. and he
being ignorant of such procedures pre-
sumed that his cases were given the
same care that was given to those OF
the principals. After the time had
passed when he could give bond he
found himself deprived Of his liberty.
As the case stands now about the only
way out for Mr.. Horton sens to be
the payment of 5000 in cash or TO
remain the guest OF the city for 450
days.
II Is the expression OF number OF
Mr. Horizons friends that the men who
get the profits from the liquor traffic
should see that he is released at once,
as he was only technically guilty and
really was not interested in the busi-

ESCAPED CONVICT HAS
A SHORT VACATION

Monday evening. after first count,
Edward Bradley. prisoner at the pen
itentiary, sent from Denver July 12.
1903. for burglary and larceny for a
term OF three to Ave years, appeared
at the west gate of the prison and
told the guard on duty that he had
been sent out for coal. The guard
thoughtlessly gave him exit.
Along the west wall he was accost-
ed by another guard to whom he said
that he had been sent out for another
prisoner who had forgotten to come in.
Fifteen minutes later the eccape of
the prisoner was detected and all of
the guards were called for the man
hunt. While he had but few minutes
start in the growing dusk he easily
found concealment.
Police officers in the adjacent towns
and train crews were warned of the
escape and to be on the watch. The
train crew on the freight that leaves
Canon for the East between one and
two o'clock sent word from way sta
ton that 1t was very likely they had
the man wanted somewhere on their
train.
The Pueblo police department was
called and promptly sent squad of
officers to guard all the approaches to
the city and TO watch the crossings
when the train pulled into town. When
the train reached Fourth street man
carrying large bundle was seen to
drop from the train and the officers
ordered him to halt, but he ran in
stead. They shot In the air, fearing
he was some hobo, as he seemed to
have a big bundle of clothing. and
they did not try to hit. They gave
chase and after run Of several blocks
caught the fellow, who proved to be
the man wanted. He fought vicious!y
against capture. and when the peniten-
uary oficials won't after him Tuesday
morning he was still ugly and had
to be put In irons. He was brought
back to the prison Tuesday afternoon.
Bradley, who was convict No. 6771,
had run around the outskirts Of town
during the late evening till he reached
Judge Bailey's premises ON North Fff-
teenth street There he stole the
Judges saddle. but did not get the
horse. which happened to have been
driven up town. The convict took tho
saddle to J. w. Anthony's ranch.

catch the horse which was in the cor-
raj. but the horrs SO not xant to be

JAPANESE ARE GROWING TALLER
Statures Diminished Because They
Sat Too Much

The proofs that the Japanese are
growing taller are ample, as shown
by the reports of the army surgeons,
who in 1892 examined 34S,337 men ap-
plying for enlistment, and in 1902
All ,093 men. At the former date, the
number of statures below five feet
was 20.17 per cent; in 1892 the per-
centage had fallen to 1920; and that
of men below five feet two inches,
from 1898 to 3607. Between the
same dates the percentages were, of
men five feet four inches and over,
1906 and 1857; and of men between
five feet two inches and five feet
four inches, respectively, 31.84 and
1906. The change of the national
fashion from sitting, often for many
hours, on hams and heels to chairs,
and the Introduction Of habits of ply
steal exercise for all classes during

Cost of Machines Less

The use of coal cutting machines
had been received far more favorably
nj America than it had been here, and
while in England only about per
cent of the output was got by the
use of machinery, in America no less
than 26 per cent of the output was
machine mined.
1871 the record tonnage on coal got
in the states was 220 tons; in 1903
the output had risen to 316,0O0,000
tons. The output of the United King

AMERICA LEADS in Coal
IMPORTANT FIGURES FURNISHED

In United States Much Fuel Is Mined

London, Feb. 3.-Some startling
facts regarding American competition
in the coal trade were brought out
prominently by Walter Rowley, a min
ing engineer of Leeds, who visited
America in 1904 with the British In
stitution of Civil Engineers.
In paper read the other day be-
fore the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Rowley, whose paper was entitled

gineer in America remarked that
citizens of America may thank the
geological features of the great coal
field of the Appalachian chain for their
comparative freedom from smoke.

world.

Of the changes being made in the di-
rection of liberalization.
BertiIion System Dropped
Besides certain alterations that
promise to avoid delay in landing
Chinese who apply for admission,
other alterations have been made
where possible with view to avoid
ing any action that would seem often
sive, provided that the object intended
by such regulations could be accom-
plished otherwise. AS an illustra-
ton of this the committee recon-
mended the discontinuance Of the
Bertillion system of Identification.
Another amendment of the regula-
tons recommended by the commits
sion is a requirement that the admin
ishative officers should advise Chi
nese persons, either laborers or Of
the exempted class, before their de-
parture from the United States Of
the conditions under which they would
be admitted upon their return. Upon
this point the officers are directed to
use special care, so that no Chinese
person who has a right to reside in
this country shall be allowed to de-
part therefrom under a mistaken inn
preston that he will certainly be re-
admitted.
Right of Appeal Granted
@- Provisions are also made for the
notification of Chinese persons who
have been denied admission at the
ports of entry of their right to appeal
from such denial to the secretary,
such notice being required under the
new regulations to be in the Chinese
tongue and the further precaution be-
ing taken to notify the Chinese con-
sui, if there be such an officer at
the pot of entry, of the adverse ac-
tion Of the officers at such port in
the case of any Chinese person, so
that said consular officer may have the
opportunity, should he deem such
course necessary, to employ counsel
or otherwise interest himself in be-
half of his countrymen.
