SENATOR PATTERSON MUST PAY
Supreme Court Refuses to Interfere
With Famous Contempt Case.

Washington.-The Supreme Court of
| the United States dismissed the writ
of error in the case of former United
States Senator Thomas NJ. Patterson
of Colorado, in which the senator was
| fined 81 900 by the Colorado Supreme
Court on the charge of contempt. The
action has the practical effect of af-
firming the decision of the Colorado
courts.
The opinion of the case was deliv.
| cred by Justice Holmes, who said in CT
feet that the court was without juris-
diction. Justice Harlan delivered a dis
senting opinion. Justice Brewer also
dissented from the decision. holding
that the court was not without juris-
| diction.
The proceeding against Patterson
grew out of the Colorado Supreme
Courts decisions in election cases fol-
! lowing the acrimonious state cam
paign of 1904.
The senator is the principal owner
| of the Denver Times and the Rocky
| Mountain News, both Denver daily pa
pers, and the contempt proceedings
| was owing to structures on these decis-
ions published in the two papers, in
which the charge was inferred to have
been made that the court was subser-
| Went to the corporation interests of
the state. When called upon to answer
Mr.. Patterson pleaded the truth of the
allegations made by the papers. The
| court thereupon promptly imposed a
fine of 81 900 upon the charge of con-
| tempt with the alternative of paying
or being imprisoned.
Instead of doing either the senator
prevailed upon Justice Brewer to issue
| a writ of error, bringing the case to the
federal Supreme Court with the result
as announced, that he failed to secure
| release from the sentence.

May lnjure Colorado.

VIII Colorado be obliged to suffer
by reason Of the 2-cent fare legisla-
tion adopted in Nebraska, Iowa and H.
linois? asks the Rocky Mountain News.
Denver railroad men are expressing
some fear as to the decision of the
Western Passenger Association on
summer tourist rates. The time is
near for the annual announcement, and
from Chicago comes an inkling that
rates will be higher than last year, be-
cause the trunk lines expect to get out
Of the tourist what they will lose by
reason of 2-cent fares in the three
states named.
While no direct information has
been received on the subject, there is
considerable nervousness among local
passenger men, who are eager that last
seasons basis of rates be maintained.
There was rate from Missouri river
points and from Chicago of one fare
plus 81. At intervals through the sum-
mer there were occasions when the
tourist from the Missouri river could
buy round trip ticket for SIS. Dur
ing last summer the regular one-way
fare to the Missouri river was reduced
from $3.50 to $16.15, so that, if the
same basis is adopted during the COM
ing summer-one fare plus $2-the
general round trip rate, effective from
about January LIST, and good to return
until October S1st, will be $1S.15, in.
stead OF $3.50, as heretofore.

Excessive Neatne,s.

It IL not the woman who is forever
chasing everyone in the house with a
broom or duster who makes the most
impression as to the desirableness of
neatness and order. While she is
making martyr of herself in her
frantic attempts to always keep the
hearth tidy, and the woodwork pol
ished. and the carpets free from spot
or speck, she is often driving away
the better elements of the home
peace and love and harmony. A child
cannot enjoy his playthings without a
place In which to play, nor man feel
free in his own house If he must be
always remembering that not SO much
as magazine or book shall be left one
moment out of place when not being
read. Yet, observes New York Week
ly, these overneat women find happi-
ness in their struggle for excessive
neatness. and the thought that they
often do actual wrong in the carrying
out Of their extreme ideas never en-
ters their minds.

Japanese Laborers Denied Entrance.

San Francisco.-Two hundred and
ninety-five Japanese laborers, who
came in on the Pacific Mail steamship
Korea, are detained on the steamer
pending advices from the Department
of Immigration at Washington as to
whether the local immigration authori-
ties shall let them proceed by steamer
to British Columbia. Their passports
are for Honolulu, and Commissioner
North is doubtful as to passing them
on to their port of destination.
The Korea is the first steamer to
land japanese since the new law was
passed, and Commissioner North and
Commissioner ]. s. Rodgers Of Phila-
delphia, and Harrison Nesbit, assistant
solicitor of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, who are in this city
ON mission of inquiry, the nature of
which they refuse to divulge, went

Besides the Japanese they found in
the steamers list ia Chinese, ninety
of whom were admitted to this port.
The others were bound for British

Denver.-At present Colorado is get

section of the country. The advance

which became effective in the eastern
arket few days ago. mas not
reached Colorado, but the market here
Is strong, with Indications for an ad-
vance of like character. Missouri river
points are already paying the in
creased price. Granulated sugar was
quoted here yesterday at S5.10 to the
jobber and $500 to the retailer. On
the basis of present prices at Missouri
river points, freight added, the price
here would be $5.37 instead of $50.
SO that Colorado consumers are, at
least for time, getting the oenefit Of
lower prices than points more favored
by freight rates.
Denver brokers state that the east
ern advance is due to the fact that the
Cuban crop has been disposed of. An
advance usually comes about the 1st

Brokers maintain that the law of

fluctuations of the market, that the

course, and that nature is ALWAYS very
accommodating-tot the trust.

II n amusing to read of the expedi-
ents suggested to prevent the pro-
posed tunnel under the English chan
mel from becoming . menace to Brit
tah safety. One Of the latest things
solemnly put forth, says Troy Times.
Is to bring the tunnel out at point
where trains passing through 1t will
have to go over a trestle or causeway
before plunging into the actual midst
OF the tight little island. The idea is
to have British warships so stationed
as to command this stretch Of road.
and Of course any train coming
through the tunnel with hostile in
tent could be blown to smithereens be-
fore getting a chance to do the least
damage. That an enemy meditating
such an invasion would deliberately
run into trap of this sort seems to
be the innocent belief Of the project
ors of this mighty idea. A tunnel of
the kind in question could no more
threaten peril to England than would
a proposition to go around the other
side and come down by way OF the
North Pole. The talk Of invasion by
that route Is farcical. A stick of dy-
Mantle would put the tunnel out OF
business in considerably less than
