Kindel Says We
Are Ungrateful
Low Freight Rate Champion Replies
Tersely to Letter Of Protest From
Secretary Aupperle of Local
Chamber of Commerce

1.-THE general conditions here are such
that our people can stand excessive
rates il they must and still do better
financially than can be done in some
of the sections with the lower rates
We do not advance this as an argu-
ment in favor of our present rates.
but to show how this section and
people looking for locations for hom-
es. may be made to suffer because of
the Impressions your work in this
matter create
That now explains why the rail-
roads love you so. Allow me to tell
you that your freight and express rat
es will be reduced by the Inter-
state Commerce commission, a re-
suit of my present effort and in spite
of your Ito say the leasD surprising
protest.
'In conclusion 1 am happy to say
that the expression of faith and en-
couragement l receive from many
western slope Coloradoans, who well
come relief from railroad oppression
do not reflect the deplorable attitude
of your chamber of commerce.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE J. KINDEL.

BOTH CASES DISMISSED
State Supreme Court Knocks out Two
Cases Appealed From
Mesa County.

Among the numerous decisions
handed down yesterday by the state
supreme court were two of local in
terest, cases appealed from Mesa
county courts.
The case in which w. II. Bannister
was the appellant. versus Mrs. Hat
HE Pierson, Aapplee. appealed from
the county court the case was dis
missed by the higher court owing to
the fact that the transcript was not
full and complete, the legal reading
of the dismissal being: dismissed on
short transcript for failure to prose
cute" This case had been hard
fought in justice and county courts oi
Mesa county, Mrs. Pierson suing Mr.
Bannister for certain fees for seryic-
es as embalmer's assistant and Mr.
Bannister refusing to pay on the
ground that the fees we're highly ex-
orbitant. Mrs. Pierson got a small
Judgment in the county court but Mr..
Bannister took an appeal to the su-
preme court.
The second case was that in which
Catherine W. Beach was appellant. VS..
f. w. Barber, appellee, appealed from
the Mesa county district court; dis
missed by the supreme court without
on short transcript. for fail
ure to prosecute. Consequently as in
first named case the transcript of
evidence submitted to the higher
court was incomplete.
This will probably finally end both
cases.

BELIEVES 1T UNJUST
Fire Chief Rogers, Fined in Police
Court, Takes Exceptions
to Action.

Fire Chief G. Perry Rogers is in
clined to think that his conviction
in police court on the charge of as
sault preferred by Everett Faulkner,
former assistant chief, was unjust
and that the remitting of the fine
pending good behavior hangs a sword
over his head, owing to an interpre-
tation of the expression good behav-
ior,' that may greatly hamper him
In the performance of his duties as
fire chief.
Judge Hill assessed a fine of $500
and costs against Mr.. Rogers late
yesterday afternoon and then re-
mitted the fine pending good behav-
ior. Mr.. Rogers freely expressed his
opinion in court what he thought
of the affair and he and many of his
friends are indignant over the mat
ter.
Mr.. Rogers declares that in the
future If anyone enters the fire de-
'partment. as Faulkner did, and de-
mands property therein whether 1t
belongs to him or to the city as Mr..
Rogers charges that part of the prop
erty Faulkner claims belongs to the
city, that he, Rogers, is powerless
to prevent the man from helping him
self believing that If he protests and
prevents the man from so doing that
he viii lay himself liable to rear
rest and conviction II the man af-
ter the property should desire to
swear out n warrant against him.
Chief Rogers declares that he was
acting fully within his rights when
dealing with Faulkner and that he
only attacked him after a continual
and vile stream of abuse had been
poured upon him by Faulkner. He
believed that he was doing his duty
as custodian of the city fire house
and property therein. that he allowed
Faulkner to take the goods that was
known to be his but refused to al
low him to remove property that had
not been fully proven to be Faulk-
ner's.
Z Some of the witnesses to the diff
Guilty and others familiar with the
case believe that Rogers would have
been fully justified in swearing out
warrant against Faulkner for as
| sault and using abusive language
and having him arraigned in court.
However, Mr.. Rogers states that he
did not do so out of respect for the
young mans parents who have had
much sorrow and trouble of late.

Grand Junction. Colo. April 80.
"Mr. George ]. Kindel, Denver. Colo.
Dear Sir:-Your several commun-
lcations of recent dates have been re-
ceived and have had consideration.
1--WE wish to say to you again that
when your bill came before this pres
ent board of directors there was no
evidence to show that the chamber
of commerce was in any way respon-
sible for your appearance here. in
fact, there was fiat denial of any
arrangements having been made with
You. Under these conditions and the
fact as stated before that our funds
were at that time at low ebb, the
board thought they were doing the
fair thing in meeting you half way.
We wish to assure you that there was
no disposition to get away from any
Just responsibility. Now you place
the matter on n broader plane and
bring up some matter in which the
board had no part and about which
they knew nothing. They were not
aware that former boards had receiv-
ed services for which compensation
had not been fairly rendered. Under
these circumstances the board voted
to allow you your claim in full and
you will find enclosed under voucher
No. 1,492 for $50 to pay the same.
There is one matter which our
people desire to take up with you at
this time. There is n very general
feeling here that your continued dis
playal of your chart in all sections
and under all circumstances is adver-
tising Grand Junction as the place
from which homeseekers should steer
clear, because you place her at the
very ton of the LIST of hIph frafght
rates.
Now. while he have Just cause for
complaint along this line, we prefer
to make this complaint to the rail-
roads and then to the Interstate Com
merce commission, rather than to ad-
vertise the matter in all sections from
which we draw our immigrants.
we feel that we are Justified in
this matter, because the general con-
ditions here are such that our peo-
pie can stand excessive rates II they
must, and still do better financially
than can be done in some of the east
ern sections with lower rates. We do
not advance this as an argument in
favor of our present rates, but to
show how this section and people
looking for locations for homes may
be made to suffer because of the i'm
pressions your work in this matter
creates.
I'VE would respectfully request
that you give some consideration to
this feature of your work in the flu
ture give us little less of this un-
desirable advertising.
Sincerely yours.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..

Some interesting correspond
ence between ID. w. Aupperle,
secretary of the local chamber
of Commerce, and George j.
Kindel, of Denver, the man who
is everlastingIy fighting for lower
freight and express rates, has
been brought to the public eye
by the Denver Republican, and
these letters will be of acute To-
cal interest.
The Republican states that
Kindel, who has stood in front
of the guns so long in the fight
against extortionate railroad rat
es, believes that he Is beginning
10 experience some of the coin
in which Republicans are said to
pay their faithful servitors-in-
gratitude.
A few days ago Secretary Aup-
perle wrote to Kindel and de-
clared that the people here were
not pleased with the fact that
Grand Junction was pointed out
as the greatest sufferer from
high rates in Kindels' talks and
ON his charts as this kind of adj
vertisement might affect the
coming of desirable homeseek-
ers to this city. Kindel replies
pretty sharply.
In connection with this matter
Secretary Aupperle and President
Lyons of the Chamber of Commerce,
state that Kindel is exceedingly sore
over the fact that there was hesi-
fancy on the part of the Chamber of
Commerce in paying him the $50 he
asks for for coming over here last
winter. AS he had not been official
y requested to come over by the
Chamber of Commerce or any official
hereof and as he had been given no
to come, the board of
directors did not feel that he was
iue the $50 but decided to treat Kin
lei fairly by paying him S25. or meet
ng him half way. He Indignantly
returned the check and wrote Secre-
AIRY Aupperle. rather insulting let
.er. 1t was then decided to pay him
he $50 and drop the matter. Kin
iel's assertion that he was employed
)r requested to come over hera by
he Chamber of Commerce to deliv-
ar an address on freight rates is
branded as false. In fact as far as
IS known no one asked him to come
over on that occasion.

Union of Pre sbyterians

The converting today of the general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church will cause to gather here the leaders of one of the strong church organizations of the south. At the same time the general assembly of the Northern Presbyterian church will be convened at Columbus, o. Each body will proceed to elect a moderator and stated clerk, and each will be kept busy for perhaps ten days with the affairs of an energetic and aggressive denomination.
 But before both assemblies will come the subject of closer co-operation-of federation, in shorthand this concerns the entire country. It concerns all be- cause 1t is an additional step towards that complete union of the American people, which is ever coming, but which has thus far failed to arrive. It is, however, a plant of slow growth, and we must be content to secure it step by step.
 Federation in the Presbyterlal bodies may point in the course of time to or ganic union, but it does not mean that in the immediatae future. It is not easy to say with definiteness what it does mean. It is plain, however, that il means drawing together of those of common faith, rather than a draw ing apart.
 AS the delegates or commissioners arrive the sentiment in favor of federa- tion seems to increase, and no doubt the present general assembly will rem der itself memorable and even historic by approving movement that has been mooted for some time.
