roo LIGHT SENTENCE.
Fare. Made Of Land Laws In Wy
ominQ.

Washingtcn.-The following state
ment was issued Tuesday by the In
terror Department:
"A good deal of Indignation is ex-
pressed at the Interior Department in
consequence of the receipt of informa-
tion from Wyoming that Henry G..
Ware. who was in November. 1905.
indicted for illegal fencing Of 100000
acres of government land worth at cur
rent lease prices at least $500 year.
and who was arraisned for trial be-
fore the Wyoming United States Dis
trict Court during the May term and
pleaded guilty, was sentenced by the
judge to one day in jail and fine Of
$500
The light sentence was said to be
due to the recommendations of United
States Attorney Burke. indignation
over this travesty on justice is fully
shared by Secretary Hitchcock, who
brought the case to the attention Of
the attorney general. and the district
attorney has been called upon to eX-
plain his action in this matter, and in
others. where parties were let off
with purely nominal fines and costs,
which amounted to less than one
fourth of what it cost to take one of
the witnesses to Cheyenne. All this
Is having very discouraging effect
upon the officers Of the Interior De-
uartment. who have worked SO zeal
ously to convict those who are engaged
in perpetrating frauds upon the gov

NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Wyoming Inventor Is Sure 1t Will Sue
cced

Lander. Wyo.-H. A. Heath of this
place has invented flying machine
which flies, and with which he expects
TO revolutionize transportation meth
DDS. Heath has been experimenting
in aerial navigation for twenty
years, and gradually working up to the
successful machine which he has now
evolved.
Heath's model machine, which de-
riVes its motive power from the spring
of a music box has flown more than a
mile, carrying a seven-pound fiat-iron,
which weighs more than the entire
machine. From tests made with this
model Heath estimates that sixteen
foot machine equipped with a four
horsepower gasoline motor, will carry
two men of $50 pounds weight each.
Heath's machine is a combination of
aluminium wings, or fans, attached to
a body shaped like that of a bird.
There is no gas bag, the lifting power
being supplied entirely by the motor.
The model machine travels against
The strongest wind.
Not only has Heath evolved a flying
machine that flies, but he has worked
out the details of safety appliances,
and his first practical machine he ex.
poets will be under perfect control of
the operator at all times.
Heath does not desire to place his
invention on the market until it is per-
feet in every detail, and the first prac-
teal machine probably will not be eN-
hibited for several years.

had devoured four 1ounces and as
many ruf1es and had two of each

idea of freedom was dashed to the
earth.
His return was ignominious. He was

JEWISH HOSPITAL.
Colorado Inctitution for Cure OF Con.
sumptives.

Denver-Denver's delegates to the
annual meeting of the trustees for the
National Jewish Hospital for Consump.
tives returned from Chicago bringing
assurances of the support Of the trus-
tees of the construction of a new $40.
900 wOman's pavilion and a $4,000
chapel at the hospital on East ColfaX
avenue. Ground has been broken for
the new buildings and they will be
completed by fall.
Secretary Alfred Muller of the hos
pital association said that ii was prob
able a portion of the enormous Baron
de Hirsch fund would be used toward
establishing a trades school in cOnnec
ton with the hospital. In the course
of his recommendations President
Samuel Grabfelder of Philadelphia sail
that he considered the trades SchOO;
one of the greatest necessities of the
institution. Many patients who are
sent to Colorado from the East are
forced to spend the rest of their lives
in Colorado. Many have no trade with
which they can earn their own way,
and it is almost impossible to dis
charge them to shift for themselves
without first teaching them some
trade.
1t was also recommended that Eng
lish be taught the patients in the IL
s;itution. Many of these are Russians
who have lived in America compara-
lively brief time and who cannot speak
English. When discharged from the
hospital, if they be unable to speak
English, their difficulty in finding EN-
ployment to support themselves and
their families is greatly increased.
President Grabfclder also suggested
that loan fund to care for cured pa
tisnts the first few months after their
discharge from the hospital be estab-
lished. This suggestion met with i'm
mediate favor. Philadelphia pledged
$1,5GO toward establishing the fund.
Chicago and St. Louis each pledged
$1,000, and before the meeting was
over nearly 100000, as a nest egg
for the fund, was in sight.
