in regard to the mater, says:
Many of the retail grocers of this
city, have just learned that they have
been victims Of "a very smooth swim

year.
1t was just about this time that
man appeared at many of tNe outside
groceries, explaining to the grocers
that it was necessary for them to
take an invoice of their stocks just
before the first of the year, when the
pure food law went in effect. and that
it would be necessary for them to tag

The man then produced pad of
stamps, which he explained to the
grocers, were official and it would be
necessary for them to purchase the
pad at the extremely low price of fifty
cents. The grocer almost invariably
purchased the pad, which in reality
was worth about ten cents. and later
discovered that the pad man was not
government official, and that it was
not at all necessary for them to tag
all their canned goods.
Some of the grocers who bought the
pads had gone to the trouble of tag
ging everything in stock before they
learned that il was necessary. and
that the man selling them the tags
was fake. and that he had sold them

President Ralph Clark, of the lndi-
learned that il was not necessary, and
stated last night that this scheme has
been worked all over the outskirts of
the city. Two grocers in West

to hire extra men to stamp all their
canned goods, which were carried ov-
err from last year.

was reported by cable dispatches
from Geneva to have attempted suici-
eide at IMgane, Switzerland, where
several years ago he built the Cha

ing denial from that place: "The re-
ports of my losses and suicide are
monumental lies | never was richer
or livelier than ! am today" The re-
ports concerning his attempt at sui
eide gave as motive extensive
losses suffered by the musician in the
recent financial troubles in this
country. Louis Lombard married the
daughter of Congressman Allen of St
Louis in 1899. Soon afterwards he
founded the Conservatory Of Music
at Utica. In 1893 he was chairman of
the Congress of the National Asso-
citation OF Music Teachers at Chi

resolution was laid on the table by
vote of 81 to IA.
On the first ballot Denver received
