Bank Wreekers.

Denver. Leonard Imboden and
James \. Hill. found guilty by jury
of conspiracy to loot the Denver Sav-
ings Bank, were on Saturday sentenced
to a term in the penitentiary of not
less than nine nor more than ten years
4 STAY of execution of sentence for
thirty days was granted to allow an
appeal-that is, the prisoners will re
main in the county Jail for that period,
or until higher court has intervened.
As soon as the record man be COM
pleted. and it is nearly ready, although
one of the longest to be presented TO
the Supreme Court since the Graves
murder trial, an application will be
made to the State Supreme Court for
a writ of supersedeas-a process in law
tl.at ~uulu mean bail for the two de-
fendants until such time as the higher
court had time TO examine the records
and decide whether error or errors mad
prevailed in the trial court sufficient TO
order a new trial there.
II the Supreme Court should refuse
to intercede and permit the appeal
from the lower court to take the usual
course. hearing in year or two
years. a further step will be taken
there on an application for writ OF
habeas corpus, on the plea that the de-
PENDANTS are being unlawfully de-
tanned. If this should be refused, then
the federal courts will be appealed to
for re lief. 1t will be contended that the
defendants were Illegally convicted, In
that the state, contrary 10 the constitn'
tion. seized evidence and used the
same against the owners thereof. To-
wit: the famous Imboden-Hill CORE,
spondence. The other points raised
during the trial will also be urged be
for the appellate courts.

INSANE ASYLUM
REPORT OF coLoRADo'S GREAT.
EST CHARITABLE INSTITUTION.
NEW BUILDINGS ARE NEEDED
Financial Condition Good - Number
of Insane Rapidly lncreasins-Sixty
Patients in Denver County Hos.
IitaI-SmaII Per Capita Expense.

Denver-With insanity on the in
crease in Colorado, the State Insane
Asylum crowded to its utmost capac-
ity, sixty insane women waiting in the
Denver County Hospital for accommo-
dations at Pueblo, and every county in
the state puzZling over the problem of
the care of its own citizens who are
mentally unbalanced DIR. A. p. Busey.
superintendent of the Colorado asylum.
in his annual report strongly urges a
definite consideration of the situation.
Some person has said Colorado
coulu not take steps at this time to
make further provision for the insane"
says DIR. Busey. 81 would like to know
what more worthy cause or what
greater charity Colorado has than the
insane upon which to bestow care and
protection.
Many of these people have been
good citizens and taxpayers, and now
that they are helpless and defenseless
they are entitled to asylum and protec-
tion, and should not longer be kept
in almshouses, jails and other unfit
places of abode.
IAN friends of the insane should
urge upon the next Legislature the inn
portance of making some provision for 4
these unfortunate people, as othel(
treat the insane is Immediately after
the attack begins. and this cannot be
done if some place is not provided
where they can be taken. One reason
to-day why Colorado has so many
hopeless, incurable insane is because
they have been confined in jails and
poorhouses awaiting admission to the
overcrowded insane asylum, until
their cases have become chronic and
incurable before they could obtain
treatment. This is an injustice to the
insane, and inasmuch as the state has
these wards. 1t should have institutions
in which to treat them"
There are at present in the institu-
ton at Pueblo 759 patients, of whom
277 are women and 4S2 men. During
the year the total number treated was
9Ol. New accommodations were made
last year for 800 additional patients,
and these are almost all filled.
THE number of insane persons is
rapidly increasing throughout the
state" the superintendent declares,
''and more additions will have to be
provided or a new asylum built. There
are sixty women now in the Denver
County Hospital awaiting admission"
The financial condition of the insti-
tuition, DIR. Busey says, is excellent.
With the legislative appropriation of
$4,000 and the 18th mill from the
tax levy. he believes the bien-
nial period will be ended without debt.
Some interesting figures are given
regarding the cost of caring for the in
sane of Colorado. The monthly aver
age OF expenditures for wages, main
tenance, etc, for the year just closed
was $G,1i4.5G, or daily per capita ex-
pense of less than SO cents. Even with
the improvements that We're made last
year the per capita expense is esti-v
mated At but Al cents. This is consid-
cred a remarkable showing. which DIR.
Busey says cannot be improved upon
by any insane asylum in the country.

The Mineral Jade.

Most people have probably seen Jade
ornaments without havingsa very clear
idea of the material of which such
things are composed. Jade Is an ex-
ceedingly tough but beautiful mineral,
much of which is found in China. 1t is
of five colors, the most highly priced
jade being the white, yellow and green
varieties The rarest OF all is red jade,
but this is SO scarce that it has no place
in market valuations. The mineral is
frequently found in the beds of streams,
and in searching for it Mohammedans
are generally employed, as it IS be-
lieved that people of this faith are SEN
sitive to it's presence, and, like the
dowsers or water finders are affected
with shuddering fits when passing over
place where jade is to be found.
