ity OF the State Life Insurance Com
pany of Indiana to do business in this
state. For several months now the
Colorado department and the local rep
resentatives of this company have
been at loggerheads. Last year Mr..
Rittenhouse went to Indianapolis and
made an examiration of the company's
affairs. particularly In connection with
its agency plan OF securing insurance
through subsidiary company. His
reports opposed this plan as being con-
trary to the state laws. Since that
time the company has been undergo

REcALClTRANT UTES.
Refuse to Return to Reservation In
Utah.

Fort Meade. S. D.-That 1t will be-
come necessary to use troops to force
the band Of Ute Indians in camp near
here to return TO their reservation IN
Utah became apparent when Captain
Hall, agen: at the Uintah reservation.
arrived with the announced intention
OF taking the Indians back. Chief Red
Cap declared again that under no cir
cumstanccs would he and his band re-
turn to the agency. and much less with
Captain Hall. whom. he says. his tribe
cordially hates.
The news that Hall had arrived
caused much excitement in the Indian
village. and the br.&s were loud in
their declarations .nat they would fight
to the death rather than return.
Threats were made against the life OF
the agent should he visit the village.
and Chief Red Cap hurried to the fort.
where he held a pow-wow with Hall.
and advised him noe to show himself
to the Indians. Captain Hall as re-
suit did not visit the camp.

Hartman. president of the Union Pa
cific railroad. on returning from Wash
ington.
Mr.. Hartman declined to talk about
the report that he had obtained control
of the Reading railroad. Speaking Of
agitation against corporate wealth, he
said:
"They-we-all OF us, should have
considered the possible effects Of this
agitation before it was begun or be-
fore conditions that made its growth
possible were allowed to continue. II
we had all met on common ground and
cooperation for our mutual benefit
nobody would be worrying over
the situation as it is to-day.
We all made a mistake in this. ]
realize the mistake, and | believe the
administration at Washington Is be-
ginning to realize that it has been a lit
tie too radical in its attitude toward
the railroads. Henceforth l look to
see its opposition take on more Of the
spirit of cooperation. l believe the
railways can expect to receive more
even-handed justice.
We men at the head of the great
corporations on our part are coming to
a better understanding of what the
government expects of us. We are be-
ginning to get the point Of "iew Of the

Denver.-A special to the Repub

4 The first authentic statement given
but for publication regarding W: A:

properties thirty miles west of Trim.
dad was made to-day by w. l.. Breth.

4 The property purchased by Senator
lClark is that known as the Adams

tile Company. Mr.. Bartlett Is a Chi.
cago millionaire who purchased 200 900
acres in northern New Mexico. where
he established a big ranch and erected
extensive buildings. Whether Senator
Clark discovered coal on the property
purchased Is not known. and Mr..
Brethertor evaded this question when
asked about 1t. He said:
I'VE aim to make the camp which
we recently purchased equal to any
thing in the entire West. We will pro-
duce both coal and coke. The output
OF the camp will be used exclusively
by the vast industries owned by Sen

the way Of machinery and coke ovens
will be installed. We hope the result
will be up to the expectations from

WEIGHING THE MAILS,
Elementary Principles Of Arithmetic
Will Now Prevail

Washington.-Oneo of the last official
acts of Mr.. Cortelyou as postmaster
general was the issuapce Of the follow
ing order:
THAT whenever the weight OF mail
is taken on railroad routes the whole
number of days the mails are weighed
shall be used as divisor for obtaining
the average weight per day"
For many years 1t has been the prac-
tice Of the Postofice Department Of
fcials, In determining the average
daily weight of mail carried by rail-
roads, to use as a divisor Of the total
weight only the number Of what the
law termed working" days, six days
in each week. Sundays being omitted.
Mail is carried every day, including
Sundays, and in obtaining the total
weight OF the mail carried by q given
railroad, the weight Of the mail car
ried on Sundays was included. 1t Is
the custom to weigh the mails every
foul years for ninety successive"
working days. The weight Of the mails
carried Sundays being included. the
total number OF days the mail weight
actually was taken aggregated los in
the three months weighing.
Instead Of dividing the total for the
1o5 days by 105 to obtain the average
daily weight, it was divided by ninety.
the number OF working days" This
system was OF immense advantage to
the railroads, as by it their average
daily weight, on which they were paid
by the government was increased ma
terially.
Much criticism of the system was
made in aad out of Congress. but the
railway mail officials stood squarely on
their Interpretation Of the law and con.
tinued to use as a divisor ninety in
stead Of los.
Hereafter. under today's order. the
actual number of days for which the
weight Of mail is taken will be used as
the divisor so that If railroad carries
mail seven days each week, its average
daily weight will be determined by the
contrary. a road carries mail only on
the six working days, the divisor will
not include Sundays. This system, 1t
is regarded by Mr.. Cortelyou. will in
sure absolute fairness both TO the rail.
roads and the government.
