0ombmaker 10 Lucky.

Denver.-After deliberating three
hours. the jury in the case OF Kemp v.
Biglow. the boy bombmaker, charged
with attempting the life of David II.
Mofat. millionaire banker, returned a
verdict that the lad was guilty of sim
pie assault. which means that II a max
imum sentence be imposed the young
man will have to serve only six months
In the county Jail.
Biglow. according to his own confes.
sion. which is not denied by the de-
Tense. sent bombs to Gov. Henry A.
Buchtel. David H. MofYat, Lawrence G.
Phipps and Charles b. Kountze, the
three latter men OF millions.
1t Is true that Biglow, who is but
twenty-one years old and who looks
only sixteen. can still be prosecuted on
the Buchtel, Phipps and Kountze
charges. but after the outcome OF the
Moffat trial 1t is hardly probable, IT is
said. that the other cases will be
pushed.
After he serves his sentence the fed.
eral authorities will try him on the
charge Of sending a letter to the Ad.
ANS Express Company with the idea of
defrauding that and other concerns.
The maximum penalty for this offense
is eighteen months in the penitentiary
and therefore It is not possible that
Kemp v. Biglow will ever serve more
than two years for his bomb making
and sending threats. the confession of
which startled the world.
II 10 claimed by some that Biglow
had knowledge OF the Colorado and fed.
eral laws when he attempted his extor.
uons. He is the son OF n school super.
intendent and was In school from early

Las Animas county's Growth.

Notwithstanding to an abstract
Of the assessment of Las Animas
county for 1907, just issued by AS.
SCISSOR 8. H. Stevens, the wealth of
the county has increased more than
$1,500,000 during the last year. The
statement shows total net assess.
ment of $13,259.955 as compared with
$12,5S7 1872 of last year. This is taken
on the basis Of fifty per cent valua.
ton, and shows remarkable increase.
The increase is due largely to the in
creased acreage Of coal lands. The
acreage last year was 6S,45S, and this
year is given as 12S,510. The land last
year was valued at $19 per acre. while
this year shows valuation of approx
imately SIS. This is largely due to
the fact that new tracts have been
opened for mining purposes that have
not yet been developed to full ca.
pacity.

The Colorado Museum.

Denver.-An effort is being made by
the management OF the Colorado Mu-
scum of Natural History in this city
to enlist the interest of people through
out the state in adding to its collection
Of wild animals of all varieties, for
mounting and displaying, which ample
provisions exist in the fine museum
building in City Park.
The work shown there this fall con-
vinces every scholar that a new at
tractiveness is in store for the
stuffed" animal. The display of
groups Of animals in various natural
attitudes. in the midst of their native
surroundings Of rock and vegetation,
within air tight cases OF plate glass
and mahogany, opens up new possibili-
ties without end for the modern mus
cum. The specimens will last for ages
to show future generations what man
ner of beasts dwelt in these noun
tains and on our plains.
The museum will be glad to receive
good specimens in the flesh Of all our
animals. which will be well mounted
and the donors names displayed.
Where desired 1t will pay the car
riage charges. 1t prefers them just
as killed. that the taxidermist may
study their bodies and so get the best
results.
The management is engaged this
winter in completing the interior of
the building, and expects to have
ample room for everything in the
spring. The museum is the property
OF the people. and looks to them for
material and support. II there is any
one who would like to help on the work
with funds to pay for the case and
mounting Of any particular group. it
will be glad to be SO informed. Such
case would bear the donors name.

TO FIX PRICE OF FOOD
sTUFFs IN COLORADO.

Denver. 1njunctive proceedings
were begun by the attorney general

tions and companies that are popu.
larly believed to be parties to a COM
bine In foodstuffs throughout the
state, known as the grocery trust, and
a complaint was filed in the District
Court asking for an injunction re-
straining the combine from continu-
ing as such. The complaint is stronger
in its relations than the one filed last
week against the coal trust Of Colo
rado from the same office. The evi-
dence contained in the complaint is
direct. 1t brings to light documentary
evidence that points to secret rela-
tions among grocers and companies
regarding price lists and charges and
blacklists.
The coal combine is going to show
fight in the suit instituted to put it
out OF business as was made evident
Thursday when Secretary Craig OF
the Rocky Mountain Coal Mems Asso-
citation and Secretary Reichard of the
Denver Coal Association, who had
been summoned to appear before a
commissioner and make deposition
regarding the work of their respec-
tive associations, refused to appear.
Their attorneys held that the attorney
general had no authority to require
them to testify. But the attorney gen.
eral will appear in the District Court.
where the original suit was filed, and
ask an order requiring the two Of
ficials to appear and testify before the
commissioner.
The defendants in the injunctive
suit against the grocery pact. are:
The j. s. Brown & Brothers Mer-
camille Company, the Nave-McCord

Washington.-Governor Curry and
Major Llewellyn Of New Mexico, were
at the White House Saturday. 1t is
known that Major Llewellyn is MAX
ing the fight of his life to hold his
position as United States district at
torney Of New Mexico. having had
clash with the special agents of the
departments of justice and the interior

Mexico's alleged land frauds.
In an interview Saturday Governor
Curry said that in addition to looking
after the matters OF especial interest
Of federal officials In New Mexico, he
was here to do what he could for
statehood for New Mexico.
New Mexico, he said, would well
come a census to determine its fitness
tor admission. and II Congress thinks
census should be held before the
territory is admitted to statehood,
there will be no opposition to such
Legislation from New Mexico.
AS to presidential politics, Governor
Curry said:

DENVER TO BE A SEAPORT.
Prediction Of Director Of Bureau Of
American Republics.

Denver.-Saventy members OF the
chamber Of commerce and their guests
enjoyed luncheon at the Brown
Palace hotel Saturday noon as well as
an excellent address by Hon. John
Barrett, director of the International
Bureau of American Republics. Mr.
Barrett is one of the highest officials
in the diplomatic field and his recep-
ton at the Brown was no less en-
thusiastic than that accorded him Fri
day night when he lectured at the
First Baptist church. His subject Sat
urday was "Colorados Interest in For
eign Trade" He said:
"Colorado's full material develop
ment can only come by her taking a
direct interest in everything that per-
tains to the advancement of the for
eign commerce of the United States.
The more the markets which buy Of
Colorado can sell to foreign parts, the
more they will purchase of Colorado.
The Panama canal will fall in its use

gins at once to improve its interior
waterways SO that every part of the
country can get it's share of the ad

new trade Of the Pacific that will be
opened up by its completion. The time
is coming in the material development
Of the United States when it will be
possible to load barges of light draft
at wharves in Denver and carry un-
broken cargoes to New Orleans or
some other seaport, or take the pro-
ducts of your state for the home con-
sumption Of the United States to the
great markets of st. Louis and Chi
cago.
II mean that the day is coming
when great inland canal or chain of
canals will connect Denver with the
Mississippi river and it is my sincere
prediction that Denver will yet be a
seaport of the Gulf Of Mexico. Colo
RADIO should lead in a movement of
the Western states for united action
at Washington in securing such legis-
lation as the s-Mississippi section
requires. The only way for the West
to Offset the special advantage the
East possesses from more states,
greater population and hence more
representatives, is for the West to
present united front in its de-
mandS"

PRESIDENT CONGRATULATED
On the Success of the Governments
Financial Measures

Financial Measures.
Washington-President Roosevelt
has been commended and congratu.
lated throughout the day on the wis
dom and success of the financial re-
lief measures launched Sunday by the
administration. Many kilograms from
all parts of the country, including New
York, Chicago and other large cities,
have been arriving all day at the
White House, and after being read by
the President have been referred to
Secretary Cortelyou at the treasury
department. The callers at the White
House, who have been numerous, have
each added an opinion on the optimis-
tic side Of the situation.
The President was informed from
Buffalo that his letter expressing con-
fidence in the fiscal soundness of the
country had been printed in several
languages in Buffalo, and distributed
among depositors who were making a
run on bank there, with the effect
of checking the run.
Before the business day of the
treasury had ended many applications
arrived for the new certificates of in
debtedness. The fiscal uses to which
these certificates may be put will make
the demand for them very general, ac-
cordtng to the opinion of experts in
the department. They may be regis
tered in the treasury and partake of
the nature of government bond, and
as such be deposited as security for
national bank circulation or deposits.
When not registered it is predicted
they will circulate freely as currency
The interest on a $50 certificate will
amount to 1914 cents a month, and a
holder may easily obtain credit for the
amount of interest he is entitled to
at his bank. Assurance was given
that the gold reserve of the govern
ment was behind these certificates
and this fact, add to their interest
bearing feature, will make them eag-
erly sought.
The hint contained in the Presi-
dents letter that financial relief leg
islation was assured, resulted in many
inquiries during the day to develop
the exact situation. 1t is admitted the
President has consulted freely with
the leaders of both houses of Con-
gress, by mail and in person, but Just
what is the present status of the leg
islative plans is withheld. One point
of unanimity is certain. Every sena-
tor and member of the House of Rep
resentatives who has called at the
White House during the financial dis
tress has been free to say that finan-
cial legislation would be the first busi-
ness of the next session of Congress.
Beyond this point the unanimity has
ceased, and many men have proposed
plans.
The President has been heartily
seconded by every comment in his
statement of the soundness of the
country's finances, and that the van.
ishing point Of the financial furry has
arrived.

Immanual Friedlaender, formerly of
Berlin but more recently of Naples, was

weeks and will 60 to Hawaii.
Mr.. Friedlaender is traveller of note
and has visited many parts of the world
since his last call at Hawaii in 1898
while the country was in state of
revolution. There were several others
with him at that time and together they
visited the volcano and made the as

the visitor of today made the ascent
of Mauna Kea accompanied only by
a guide whom he left at Humuula

MAINE FOR THE
HONOLULU TRADE

For some time It has been reported
that the American-Hawaiian Steam
ship Company intended to embark In
the passenger business between san
Francisco and Honolulu. Recently en-
BILE advices were received to the effect
that the company had purchased tho
steamers Maine and Missouri, but until
yesterday. nothing swas definitely
known here concerning the use Ia
which the newly acquired vessels would
be put.
Freight Agent c. p. Morse OF the
American Hawaiian company received
advices from New York yesterday that
the Maine would be employed as u
passenger boat between San Francisco
and Honolulu.
She will have accommodations for 100
first-class passengers and VIII operate
between the ports mentioned on u
three-weeks schedule.
That the Maine is a fast boat is evil
denced by the fact that she developed
n speed OF 15h knots on her trial trip.
1T Is the idea of the company" said
Agent Morse yesterday. ito make the
Names passenger accommodations as
attractive as possible and from the
plans as outlined she will be superior
from passenger standpoint to any
steamship now engaged in the service
on the Pacific Ocean.
Our company feels that at this time
and under existing circumstances, a
passenger boat is especially needed in
the company's service. In other words
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS company Is
meeting the situation from promo
ton standpoint"
1t Is expected that the Maine will
be ready to inaugurate the new service
by the end of the year.
q. The Maine Is a twin-screw steamer
with total displacement OF about
1900 tons. She Is over 500 feet over
all and has 5S feet beam. She Is about
sixty feet longer than the S. S. China
and has about ten feet more beam.
She was built by the Maryland Steel
Co. at Sparrow's Point, Maryland, in
1908 and is practically a new boat, en-.
joying the very highest rating at
Lloyd's.

.LUTTED'S PLAN FOR
Los ANGELES LINE

Editor Advertiser: note in your
columns the cable announcement to Sec
rotary Wood of the safe arrival of the
steamer Ohio at San Pedro with the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce ex.
cursion on board, who were the in.
vited guests of this city, and trust
their visit was pleasant one. They pa
tronized our hotels and boarding houses,
spent their money freely in the stores
and made friends everywhere. Their
visit was brief but they kept their
eyes open to the advantages to be gain
/ ed by havinga direct steamer connection
with their city and expressed them
selves in strong terms regarding the
great benefits to both cities by having
good steamer for that purpose. This
| project is an old one and seems as
near contamination as when first start.
ed several year ago.
1t appears to me this can be ar
ranged by meeting our Los Angeles
friends halfway if our Legislature will
subsidize steamer, say $4,000 per
year, to carry passengers and freight
first-class passage not to exceed
800 round trip with stopovers for six
months or longer; freight $3.50 or $500
per ton; to make trips at stated inter
walls, etc, provided Los Angeles will
also put up $4,000 per year. This
amount $4,000 would secure us first
class passenger steamer with best hotel
accommodations. Tourists in Los An
geles would extend trip on the Pacific
ocean to Honolulu. Our merchants from
the benefits of increased trade and the
difference in freight and passenger
charges, would willingly pay an in
crease in taxes. We have the
scenery and climate. They cost us
nothing and Honolulu can afford to sell
them at Wholesale to the tourists.
Twelve thousand dollars does not
seem very large amount to pay for
the many benefits we would receive in
return.
Any of our merchants or others who
take an interest in the welfare and
prosperity Of Honolulu will kindly adj
wise me of their support to meet to-
gether for discussion as to the best
means to adopt for the betterment Of
prevailing here at present.
