rough draft of the report made by the
commission appointed by the President
to investigate the Denver mint. a con-
dition has been found which may re-
suit in the removal OF one or more
prominent heads from the Colorado in.
stitution. The coinage department
which is under the direction of Harry
Tarbell is said to have shown lack
of thoroughness. and several times
coins have been found to be much
heavier or lighter than the law pre-
scribes.
On whose shoulders the blame will
finally rest remains to be seen but II

ment is responsible for these dlscrep-
ancies and that removals will be made
soon.
Director of the Mint Roberts refuses
TO discuss the report until after the
secretary of the treasury has been seen
and is ready to make his recommends
tions.
The Denver mint has been investi-
gated thoroughly in all its branches.
While, technically, only one issue OF
coins was found to be OF In weight, the

No Haywood Jury Vet.

Boise, Idaho.-As expected, the sec.
ond special venire has been exhausted
and no jury has been secured to try
Haywood. The court has adjourned
and Sheriff Shad Hodgin has three
days to summon sixty-one more tales
men. One Of the twelve examined
was qualified, against protest by
Clarence Darrow, and he will probably
be excused by peremptory challenge
when the jury box is full again. This
juror is Harmon Cox, a retired farmer
and former carpenter, who is also G.
A. r. veteran.
Darrow tried for more than an hour
to disqualify him, and during the cross
examination lawyers, judges and spec
tators all lost their patience and Dar-
row actually got angry under the prod
dings and tantalizing objections and
comments made by Borah and Hawley
After the eleven men in the box were
excused from court counsel for the de-
fense protested against the manner in
which the two venires had been drawn
and pointed out that farmers, mer
chants and bankers were summoned
and that working men, either union or
non-union, were not included in the
panels.

Unknown Man Killed.

Denver.-In a fight that seemingly
started over some trivial matter, but
in which, in all proba ability, woman is
involved, Fremont Driemus, Mexi
can. aged twenty-one, shot and killed
an unknown man Of the same national
ity.
The shooting occurred in the alley
between Twenty-frst and Twenty sec
ond, Blake and Wazee streets.
A few minutes before it happened,
the two men were seen walking up the
street together. They turned into the
alley, and a few minutes later atten-
ton was called to them by their loud
talking.
From the statement Of witnesses. it
is learned that the unknown man
threw Driemus to the ground, and,
while he had him in PROSTATE posi-
ton, drew his revolver and attempted
to shoot him. Driemus, however,
wrested the weapon from him and,
using it In his own defense, shot his
assailant through the heart.

TO RING UP NEW YORK.
In re" Weeks Denver May Talk to
New York Over Phone.

Within few weeks by the complet-
ing OF tie long distance telephone

a con- fersJIiou with them over tele-
phone circuit more than 5000 miles
In lensth rs easily as they can now
talk with people in Colorado Springs
only elEhN miles away.
The completion of this new line
marks an epoch in telephone construc-
ton. slICv il supplies the last remain
ing linz III the chain of telephone con
nectlons between the West and the eX-
treme East
The eastern lines have pushed as
far west as Emporia. Kansas, and
when The Colorado Telephone Com
pany extended its lines to Pueblo,
ColoraGo il left only a gap of 500
miles to he filled out in order to
reach Denver and to complete the
longest telephone circuit in the world,
Now two gangs of men. working al
both ends. the first building at the
Tdle tl luIte miles q day. lilt SecoHq
at rate of two miles a day. have
reached positions just north of Lakin,
Kansas. and a few miles east of La
Junta, Colorado, with little more
than loo miles between them. Most
of the serious obstacles have been
passed. So tat from now on progress S
will be rapu and before July lst the
two gangs will meet near the state
line.
A part of the pole line-about $50
miles of he portion Immediately west
Of Emporia has already been strung
with pair of bright copper wires.
and after the last pole has been set
only a few weeks will be required in
which to cover the remaining portion
of the line with wires, so that by Aug
ust 1st AT the latest. through tele-
phonic connection will be provided by
means Of a pair of copper wires be
tween Denver and any of the Eastern
cities
The poles are all of the best north
ern cedar sound and straight, with a
minimum height of twenty five feet
and carry creosoted crossarms having
an ultimate capacity of ten wires,
When the poles are placed, space is
provided for an additional. crossarm
so that the capacity of the line may be
doubled at any time in the future with
the least possible expense and trouble.

Rawlins, Wyo-The old adage that
the average woman can neither shoot

onstrated this morning when Mrs. j.
NJ. Ringwood shot two innocent by
ISLANDERS in trying to save her husband
from a beating.
One of the bystanders. Webb Stone
received bullet in the left breast and
died within an hour. while the other
was shot in the thigh and seriously
wounded. Mrs. Ringwood. her husband
and the latter's partner, Harkins, with
whom he was fighting, are in jail.
Ringwood and Harkins, who own
and operate the Bank Exchange restau
rant and saloon. became involved in a
quarrel over charges of cheating made
by Ringwood. Daniel Harkins re-
sented the accusation and the two
agreed to fight it out
The men We're fighting when Mrs.
Ringwood appeared. Believing her
husband was getting the worst of 1t
and thinking he was about to be killed
by Harkins, she seized a .3S-caliber re-
volver from a shelf and began firing
at Harkins.
All OF the bullets went wild, one en-
tering the left lung of Webb Stone near
the heart, and another lodging in the
thigh OF James Davis, waiter in the
restaurant. Stone was seated at Ia

he was shot He and Davis were
