HR. BARR DECLINES TO
WITHDRAW RESIGNATION
Sends Final Reply to Board of Directors of
Exposition Asking to be Relieved at Once.
WILLING To RENDER AID
IN UNOFFICIAL CAPACITN

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 3O.-James M.
Barr, director general of the James
town Exposition, who, following his
recent resignation, was requested bv
the board of directors to continue &c
the executive head of the ter-centen-
NAL, sent his final reply to the directors.
declining to withdraw his resignation
and asking to be relieved at once. In
his letter Mr.. Barr said:
Accepting the directorate and di-
rector generalship of the exposition at
a time when the resources of vour
company were exhausted, and when
the exposition, in consequence. faced
disaster, was morally bound to serve
IN this capacity until it had been con-
Quoted TO a conclusion, if the conditions
imposed by me and accepted by you
and Incorporated in your bylaws were
recognized and enforced.
This, for reasons satisfactory to
you, has not been done, and being in
consequence powerless to do things for,
the exposition, which its reputation and
success, IN my opinion, demanded. I
requested to be released from the
duties of director general as soon as
the exposition was completed in a
thorough manner creditable to the ex-
position, believing my full obligation
thereto had been performed under the
circumstances existing.
As the exposition has been completed.
1t can now be easily conducted to its
conclusion, if discord be eliminated
from Its management; and if can be
OF any further service in an unofficial
capacity l would be glad to have YOU
call upon me"

Sea Gets Thugs Weapons.

New York, September 29.-Five
thousand revolvers, the weapons of
murderers, hold-up men and burglars,
and more than 800 dirks, ,daggers, knives,
poniards and other samples of stilettoes
of American and European make, today
made up the strange cargo of the police
boat patrol.
With Commissioner Bingham in com
mand this consignment from the prop
erty clerks department was taken far
down New York Bay. When below
Fort Hamilton, and where it would be
impossible for the arms to ever again
be brought to light, the Commissioner
gave the order to consign them to the
deep.
The patrol boats cargo was valued
at approximately $40, 900, and it was
nGeneral Bingham's purpose in attend
ing to the ceremonies, to see that the
bands of election guerillas, who for
merly were the most prominent pur-
chasers of weapons at police auctions,
would have no chance to get few
cheap guns.

Taft, Dove Of Peace

Toxic, September, 8O.-Preliminarv
to three days of social and diplomatic
activities, Secretary of War Taft spent
a quiet Sunday resting in the Palace of
Shiba, an ancient and picturesque resi-
dence belonging to the imperial family.
During the day numerous Japanese
dlgnitaries and officials called upon the
Secretary, many of them accompanied
by their wives.
Charlie Taft organized a baseball
game on the famous lawn of the castle
with number of Japanese youths. 1t
was intended to play the game yester-
day, but his father objected and caused
a postponement until today.
Among the most important of the
callers on the Secretary today was
Northumberland Terauchi. the I'm
perial Minister of War, who had a
lengthy conference with Mr.. Taft. 1t
Is believed in certain quarters tha. u e
ground work is being laid for an ente, ,te
concerning immigration, which is tNe
only point on which there is difference
OF opinion between the two countries.

Quits Comm, Isrrolzlna Mourners.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 3O-Rela-
tives of Mrs. Fred Hartsell, wife of a
farmer living near Huntington, were
bemoaning her death over her coffin
a few minutes before the minister ar
rived to conduct the last rites, when
she suddenly sat up, and with a dazed
look, climbed out.
There was a rush of mourners for
the open air. windows being used as
exits. The mourners were terror
stricken and the minister swooned
when a pale-faced woman, over whose
remains he had been called to conduct
srrvices, met him at the door.
The family were too poor to have a
physician, and the woman fell into a
swoon, in which she remained three or
four days. Her husband thought her
dead and sent for the undertaken. He
prepared the supposed corpse for inter
ment without discovering that life still
fingered.

temporary triumph by violation or
evasion of the law; and we are the best
friends of the man of property. We

set our faces like flint against those
offenders who do wrong in order to ac-

wealth as a help to wrongdoing.
"Wrongdoing is confined to no class.
Good and evil are to be found among
both rich and poor, and in draw
ing the line among our fellows we
must draw it on conduct and not on
worldly possessions. In the abstract
most of us will admit this. In the con-

only if we really have knowledge of
any sympathy with one another. If
both the wage-worker and the the capi-
talist are able to enter each into the
others life, to meet him so as to get
INTO genuine sympathy with him, most
OF the misunderstanding between them
will disappear and its place will be
taken by judgment broader, juster.

each will find in the other the same es-
sential human attributes that exist in
himself. 1t was President McKinley's
peculiar glory that in actual practice he
realized this as it is given to but few
men to realize it; that his broad and
deep sympathies made him feel a gen
ulne sense of oneness with all his fell
low-Americans, whatever their station
or work IN life, so that to his soul they
were all joined with him in a great
brotherly democracy of the spirit. 1t
Is not given to many of us in our lives
actually to realize this attitude to the
extent that he did; but we can at least
nave 1t before us as the goal of our en-
deavor, and by so doing we shall paw
honor better than in any other way to
the memory of the dead President
whose services in life we this day com
memorate."

ENORM NOUS SCHEME
o. to Bring Water From Lara
mfe s&iil Alive

There is deal on at present with
good promise OF success between the
Poudre Valley Reservoir company
and the Laramie and Poudre River
Irriagtion company, a new corpora
tioon, that WIFI eventually result in
the reclaiming of an additional 100, :
GOO acres of land in the northern part
of Weld county. with a part of this
in Larimer county.
The deal has been pending for
some time and good part OF the
money for carrying it through is in
sight, but the amount that will be
involved will be so great that every
step taken is gone over carefully be-
fore move is made.
The plan includes the completion
of the Poudre Valley ditch to Cobb
lake, the original destination of the
ditch. This piece of ditch, about
sixteen miles In length, will be con-
structed jointly by the two COM
panies. This ditch will be used to
carry flood water from the Poudre to
the reservoir.
From Cobb lake, or the Poudre
valley reservoi, as it is known here,
the Laramie and Poudre company
will construct ditch east as far as
the Union Pacific railroad tracks, or
prabaoly much farther.
The plan includes the tunneling OF
the mountains to bring water from
the Laramie river into the Poudre
valley. The company that will DO
this has already secured 200 feet OF
water of old appropriations in the
Iaramie river. The company also
owns a chain of reservoirs on this
side of the ranges, including Link
lake, the Poor reservoirs and several
others.
The whole scheme is stupendous
one. and has been figured on by vari-
Gus concerns during the last three or
four years, but it has never been
taken up in just the way it Is by the
present company. Practically al
the people interested are Weld ana
Larimer county men. They already
have funds available to the amount
Of about $500, 900, and can raise about
: $1,000 more on. an irriagtion dis
trit' plan.
ne surveys for the bitches have
ali been made.
