DENVER INTERSTATE FAIR.
Colorado Industrial Exposition Asso.
citation Incorporated.

Donver.-With the fling of articles
o. incorporation by the Colorado In
dustrial Exposition Association an an
NAL interstate fair for Denver Is as
sLIed. The question OF permanently
locating an interstate fair and exposi-
ton in Denver has been agitated by
the chamber Of commerce and by a
number of citizens for the past five
years, Dut the proposition has Just
been consummated by the action Of
the stockholders at a meeting held in
Denver last Friday evening.
The officers elected to carry out the
plans are: c. E. Stubbs. president:
John W. Springer. first vice president;
c. MacA. Wilcox. second vice presi
dent; Julius A. Myers. treasurer:
Hiram e. Hits. secretary.
The board Of directors chosen to
manage the affairs Of the association
for the first year is as follows:
Charles Boettcher. Charles MacA.
Wilcox. Thomas Keely. julius A.
Myers. G. Albert Wahlgreen; A. D.
Lewis, Thomas F. DAILY, Henry NJ. Por-
ter, Horace w. Bennett, John W.
Springer, Charles E. Stubbs, w. A
Hover and Samuel N. Dutton.
President c. E. Stubbs was asked to
outline the purpose of the organiza-
tlcn and to state some Of the advan-
tages Of the annual interstate fair and
exposition. which it is proposed to
hold in Denver. Mr.. Stubbs said:
The advantage Of first class in
terstate fair and exposition to Colo
rado are inestimable. 1t will be an
educator and each year OF its exist
ehce will in the future be regarded as
nile stones marking the development
o. agriculture. horticulture. mining
stock raising, manufacturing and, in
tact, the development of every other
Important industry in our state There
Is nothing which can SO clearly por-
tray the resources of Colorado and
the territory tributary to Denver, as
an annual state fair and exposition
It will furnish to the people who are
Interested In the West object lessons
Of our Importance as an agricultural
and mining state and of our unlimited
resources, which are here awaiting the
energy of man to develop them.
"rhe fair and exposition will bring
10 Denver 100000 people every fall and
hl' her splendid hostelries to over
flowing. When the visitors to our
state realize the great inducements
which Colorado offers TO the home
seeker it is reasonable to suppose that
q large per cent Of them will take ad-
vantage Of the situation"

STARVING SCHOOL CHILDREN,
Bitter Want Among Pupils in the City
of Berlin.

Berlin.-The municipality is face 10
face with serious problem in connec-
tion with the supply of food to thou
sands of virtually starving children at.
tending the primary schools in conse-
quence Of industrial inactivity.
Hitherto the Children's Canteen So
ciety has been able to cope with the
task in a fairly satisfactory way by
means of subscriptions from private
sources. but the calls on its funds
are this year so great that 1t will be
unable to supply many of the chill
dren.
In the first week of December, ac-
cording to official statistics from 245
out Of 2S5 primary schools, no fewer
than 11,947 children attended school
in most cases without breakfast and
in all cases without the prospect of
obtaining midday meal at home. OF
these, 2,49S receive simple meal
from the fourteen canteens belonging
to the above mentioned society; the
other 7,ii9 are totally unprovided for
The question of the citys responsi-
bllity for the children has now been
raised by the Socialists in the muni-
cipal council, who propose that the
council should in future undertake the
task. The society will be able this
winter to dispose of the sum of $S,-
42l.50 and this will be all taken up
by the provision of a meal day to the
4,iSS children already on its books
Altogether for the feeding of the
1000 starving little ones during the
winter $3.50 will be necessary, and
the council is to be asked to vote
$4,000 to make up the amount re-
quired and place it at the disposition
of the society for administration.
This course is suggested in order
to obviate the loss of civic rights en-
tailed by the children's parents should
their offsprings be derclict or fed by
the authorities. Parents who do not
send their children to school are fined
unless they can give medical authority
for keeping them home. Therefore
poor parents send children to school
even though foodless and miserably
clad.

Philippine Tariff Bill.

Washington.-The Philippine tariff
bill, on which hearings will be begun
by the house committee on ways and
means during the first week after the
reconvening Of Congress after the holi
days, is similar to the measure intro
duced by Representative Payne and
passed by the House during the last
Congress and which admits to the
United States free Of duty articles
wholly the product of the Philippine
islands except sugar, tobacco and rice
on which duty amounting TO twenty
five per cent Of the present rate is pro
vided for.
AS was the case two years ago it is
expected there will be strong opposi
tion to the bill on the part Of the Amer.
lean sugar, tobacco and rice interests
The bill failed to pass the Senate dur.
ing the last Congress and 1t is known
that 1t will again encounter strong op,
position there.

Colorado Congressman.

ngton.-Colorado congressman
have been given remarkably good com
mittee assignments. Speaker Cannon
complied literally with every request
made by members of the delegation
and gave them precisely what they
asked for.
Representative Bonynge was given
place on the ways and means com
mittee, for which he surrendered
places on the immigration, mines and
mining and patents committees. Rep
resentative Cook was given a place on
the agricultural committee. succeeding
his predecessor Mr.. Brooks, and Rep
resentative Haggott was assigned to
the postofflces and post roads and ex-

New York.-Secretary of War Taft
arrived here Friday on the steamer
President Grant, after a journey
around the world. He was accom-.
ranied by Mrs. Taft and his son,
Charles. Secretary Taft said he was
not prepared to talk on any public
questions.

he. Absence from home has prevented

King Oscars Funeral,

Stockholm.-Seldom If ever in its
history has this city witnessed such a
grand and solemn ceremony as that
which on Thursday marked the fu-
neral OF King Oscar, who died Decem-
Der 8th. Although the weather was
bitterly cold, the entire population Of
Stockholm and thousands of visitors
from the country stood bare-headed.
silent and sorrowful along the line of
procession to catch a last glimpse of
the casket containing all that re-
manned Of their beloved King. The
funeral procession included some
1000 persons, among them being Gus
tave, the new King of Sweden, the
King of Denmark, the Swedish Princes
and Princesses and the ambassadors
representing foreign nations.

Denver Live Stock Show.

Denver.-So rapidly have the en-,
tries for the Western Live Stock EX-
position, which is to be held in Den
Yer January Goth to 25th, been com
ing in from all parts of the Rocky
mountain country that the manage
ment of the show has been in guam
Diary where to put all the exhibits. 1t
has been decided to make some addi-
tions to the grounds. Orders for the
erection Of stable $50 by 60 feet have
been given and work on the building
already has been begun. The new
1t will be perfectly enclosed and will
be an ideal place in which to show
much of the fine stock that will be in
Denver for the exposition.
Another thing which the manage
ment Of the show has decided upon
for the comfort of the visitors to the
stockyards during show week is to
cover the big stadium and show ring
with canvas top and provide heat.
There has been some complaint made
in past years over the failure to heat
the big show building, but this year
with the new stadium under cover and
well heated there will be no room for
the kickers. Stalls for the accommo
dation Of the exhibition animals will
be built beneath the stadium and
about 200 head of fine stock will be
housed there. The big brick barns
will hold 200 more and every stall at
the yards will be filled when the doors
are thrown open to the public.
"The greatest stock show ever held
in the Western country, is now assured
for Denver" said Secretary Fred p.
Johnson as he went through bunch
of entries that had come In the last
mail.

FIST FIGHT IN CONGRESS.
Between Williams Of Mississippi and
De Almond Of Missouri,

Washington.-The spirit of rivalry
that for five years has alternately
smoldered and blazed between John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi. leader
of the minority. and David A. De Ar
mond Of Missouri, eliminated in .
fistic fight Thursday on the floor Of
the House Of Representatives.
The blows Of Representative D.
Almond caused blood to flow down the
face Of Representative Williams and
only the forcible Intervention Of
friends cut the combat short.
Mr.. DeArmond bore away a scuhed
nose.
Mr.. Williams struck the first blow
and Mr.. Dc Almond retaliated vigor-
ously with clenched fists. When the
combatants were separated blood was
flowing down Mr.. Williams face from
. small cash In the left cheek and his
forehead was red and abrazed.
The encounter was witnessed by
more than 100 members of the house
and by as many more persons in the
galleries, among them score Of
women.
While the battle lasted the excited
spectators In tho galleries pressed
A6hluSI Iuo rams. wen anu WOuCu
leaned far over, apparently holding
their breath as blow after blow was
struck and returned and the combat
ants lunged forward and swayed back.
When Mr.. Williams was released he
went Immediately into a cloak room
and while removing the stains Of the
combat said:
1.-THE disagreement arose over a COM
mfttee assignment. Mr.. De Almond
called me to task for recommending
his colleague, Mr.. Booher, to no more
prominent committee than that on
coinage. weights and measures. He
charged me with lack of veracity. l
then struck him and we exchanged
blows. 1t is most regrettable that the
floor should be selected for such an
affair"
According to Mr.. De Almond, the
episode arose over the correctness Of
conversation between himself and
Mr.. Williams about ten days ago re-
garding the committee assignments of
some Missouri members, and particu-
larly Of Mr.. Booher. Upon Mr.. De
Almonds insisting that he had not
specified any committee to which he
desired to have his colleagues as
signed, Mr.. Williams, he said brusque-
ly replied that it was simply a mat
ter Of recollection between the two.
He said this" said Mr.. De Almond,
in such way as to leave no other
inference than the one I suggested.
and l told him believed him to be a
liar. He thereupon struck me and
think I gave him as good as he gave.
"The next thing we were sepa.
rated"
