FREE LOVE CLUB WILL MOVE ID
 DENVER
Chicago Colony Finds 1t Hard To Make Expenses and De- CideS to Seek Greener Past ureS In the West.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Parker H. Ser eombe. editor of the magazine "To- morrow" and head of free love" colony at 22SS Calumet avenue, is to leave Chicago forever. He will take with his his disciples who live in his home"
 The announcement that Sercombe is to end his career in Chicago m spectacular manner was made today by an inmate of the colony" Ser combe, with his little family of ad- herents, is going to Denver to seek greener fields for his advanced thoughts.
 Preparations for the departure are now being made, and as preliminary step all of the occupants of the home have taken a VOW to fast for various periods. Sercombe, who frequently goes without food for a long time. will fast for at least two weeks. while his chief lieutenant, Ralph E. Sam mons, will abstain from food for thir- ty days.
 It is declared that the prime reason for the exodus of the free love colony is that the financial secretary of the colony is unable to raise funds for the further continuation of the home.
 Sercombe, ii is said, has completed arrangements with prominent So- cialist and free love advocate of Den yer for financial support, should he be able to take his little band to the Western city.
 According to members of the col ony, Denver is "the most advanced city in the world regarding sex prob lens and advanced thought of all kinds. and after the rebuffs that Ser combe and his ideas have received in Chicago. the colony looks forward to haven of refuge in the hustling Rocky mountain metropolis.
 DENVER June 10.-The colony will get a cold shoulder when 1t ar rives here.
 Hes not Socialist is the dec laration made by the Denver adher- ents of that doctrine, when asked con corning the sort of a welcome that will be extended Sercombe.
 .sae don't belong to us," say the followers of the New Thought.
 Other cults also refuse to be classed with the free lever" Apparently there will be no welcome" for the Chicagoan other than that which is extended to all arrivals by the great steel arch at the union passenger sta ton

BRING IN ANOTHER
 PLATE OF SNAKES

In the meantime the cook had taken a big catfish and cut It into four strips and rolled these strips in bat ter, so that they much resembled the viand ordered: and, after placing them in the frying pan, he stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted to Job:
 You want them rattlers rare or well done?"
 The waiter repeated the interrog- atory in q oyclonic way. and the Ter TOT replied in as violent a tone and manner as he could command: well done. with plenty of gravy and Chili Coloradoi"
 And then Job thundered to the ccok
 Well done. with plenty of Chilli Colorado. hot as hell and moecasin gravy on the side and brochetts of sand-crane livers and Gila monster lights
 There was an instantaneously dead silence in that restaurant, and all eyes were again cast upon the Ter TOT and the waiter. The former turned ashen pale and began to weak on perceptibly, while Job gaZed at AAo afAAAAAh IG Dt6du tO ntdhEns Maybe you don't think We can serve all the market affaords,' nut tered Job; maybe you don't like moceasin gravy or brochettes a la mode--maybe you aint hungry!"

 Away back in 1876 man named Turpin established restaurant in Yuma. and among Turpin's original employees was wafts named Job Straight, who could shoot with great precision. play draw poker with un- varying success and pack eighteen plates of miscellaneous grub upon one bare arm at one time. He could execute all the prevailing melodies either on piano or guitar and he pos sessed the most tremendous baritone voice ever heard in Arizona-why, men sometimes went to Turpin's just to hear Job deliver gastronomic or. ders. No perfect description can be given of that voice. however, except to say that at times it really did make things chatter.
 Once fresh young cowboy from near Gila Bend entered Turpin's for a Christmas dinner. who took a start ling eoncoctiaR as an appetizer and then dropped thud-like at a table and roughly shouted to straight:
 Say. there. Baldy, Bring me some grub"
 Job was at first appalled,, but, re- covering his reserve limit of equaaim- ity. he brushed an imaginary bread crumb from the frescoed tablecloth and whisked a bill of fare from the yariegated castor and placed it be- fore the new young Terror of the Bend.
 Take il awayi'' cried the latter, in tones that could give Straight's ordi- nary everyday baritone a castle and checkmate il in five moves; q don't wan to read your darned old tract I don't care a darn who came into the world to save sinners. Bring me some grub-g-rru-b. Grubi Grub; GRUB!'

 Mathematics on toast!" cried Jol to the cook, in accents that would have paralyzed Carl Formes had that old basso profundo been living and heard them.
 'Rattlesnakes on toast!" was the re yerberatfng response from the COOK upon receiving the order. There were a dozen or more people ! in the restaurant and their eyes were al once turned on the young person from the Bend and the tnfur1atec waiter.

What is regarded as virtually dec

who was more than premier and
whose responsibilities had more than
doubled. adding that Japan's RESPONSE

Touching upon the American Iues-
tion, Viscount IIayashi sai!: 1T Is
fact that the Japanese people have for
gotten the American question in the
Korean crisis. which has shown the lit

TO the former. The leaders in the agi-

astray in their judgment of public

To Break Telegraph Combination

Attorney General Jackson of New
York has appealed to the Supreme Court
of New York county for the appointment
of referee to take testimony on his
allegation that the Postal and Western
Union Telegraph companies have formed
a combination to increase rates of SER
vice in that and other States. This is
preliminary to his action to restrain the
said combination, and requires that
Messrs. Gould, Schiff, Jessup, Hartman,
Mackay, Clowrey and other officials of
the two companies shall testify before
the referee. 1t is charged that this COM
bination was made last January and that
1t has resulted in an increase of ) cents
a message of ten words, and also that
the companies have agreed to establish
at various places common offices, and to
divide the profits and business received.

PosToFFlcE CUTS PAY.
Government Orders Reduction ll
Charge for Hauling Mails

A general order has been issued by tht
Postoffice Department which will result
in reducing the compensation enjoyed
by the railroads for carrying the mails
by at least $l000,o00 annually. In con-
nectiOn with the order it is limited that
there may be scandal if all the facts
which made the issuance of the order a
necessity become known.
The order in question affects several
hundred mail routes in the country and
is to the effect that on these routes the
mail can b" carried in smaller cars than
the railroads are using. 1t is therefore
ordered that a reduction either be made
in the size of the cars or il The railroads
choose to continue their use they will get
paid for the SIZE of cars actually needed.
On the other hand, the railroads insis:
that it is the province of the Postoffice
Department to designate the cars which
shall be used on the mail routes and that
the roads are now using such cars us
were actually ordered by the department.
Departmvrf officials admit that this is
true, but insist that more space is being
paid for by the department than is actu-
ally needed in the transportation of the
mails, but it is not stated whether this
condition is the result of poor judgment
or otherwise. The new order is the re-
suit Of the work of 120 private detectives
which the PostOfice Department placed
on the work about six months ago. Theis
reports show that in hundreds of cases
the government was paying for more
space than is necessary and the postmas
ter General therefore ordered a reduction
Besides the regular compensation basel
upon tonnage which the railroads receive
for transporting the mails they also re-
ccive car mileage for cars over thirty
feet in length.
The PoStofce Department has decided
to begja weighing the mail on all routes
in the country early in October with a
view of furnishing Congress with data
asked for. In order to DO so the govern.
ment will have to provide thousands OF
additional scales.

LIVES LOST As BOAT BURNS,
Women nnd Children Jump Into Wa.
ter in New York State in Panic


Notable examples of heroism, as web
as a few examples of cowardice, attended
the burning and sinking of the steamer
Frontcnac on Cayuga lake, New York,
Saturday. The death list is believed to
be limited to eight. the number first re-
ported. A search along Cayuga lake
and in and underneath the charred hulk
OF the steamer failed to reveal any more
bodies, and the officials think that NO
more lives We're lost. No inquiries have
come in to Ithaca or Union Springs for
persons not accounted FOR.
The accident happened about two miles
south of Union Springs. Just before the
boat reached Aurora about fifty persons
were ready to go aboard, but the higS
wind prevented the boat from landing
This undoubtedly saved many from death.
The fire was started by throwing a
cigarette or match into the companion
way.
One of the most pathetic incidents was
the death of little Grace Abel. Her
grandmother jumped with the child held
close in her arms. She was rescued
while at the point of death and her first
exclamation was, II am % glad the baby
has been saved" Yet the child had been
dead for some time.
Notable examples of heroism were
prevalent on all sides. Little Frank Al
colt, II years old, towed his grandmother
ashore on life raft with the single
remark, II padded my hardest to save
my grandmother, because she was alone
and could not SWIM" Roland Genung,
son of Sheriff Genung. absolutely refused
to leave the boat without his mother.
Both were saved. Mrs. Tuthill, woman
of 20, jumped overheard with her daugh-
ter and both reached the shore in safety.
Although there were many stirring
deeds of heroism, it must be recorded
that here and there in the gathering there
was cowardly heart. For there were
men on the steamer who thought only of
their own safety, and not only refused to
assist the helpless women and children,
but actually thrust them ruthlessly aside
in mad endeavor to reach the side OF
the steamer.

Medical Colleges Condemned.

A special committee of the American
Medical Association, which was appointed
three years ago to investigate the instruc-
ton and standards of the various medi-
cal colleges in the United States, has
now submitted its report which condemns
about one-half of all the so-called med
ical colleges. Among the members of the
committee are Doctors Bcvan of Chi
cago. Frazier of Pennsylvania university,
Witherspoon of Nashville, Councilman
of Boston, Vaughn of Ann Arbor and
Colwell of Chicago. The committee finds
that there are too many of these schools
in which preliminary education is INSULT
cienr, and in which the course of instruc-
ton is inadequate and the lack of train
ed teachers evident. 1t appears that
there are now in this country 100 mcdi-
cal schools. or as macy as in all Europe.
The report holds that the great advance
in the sciences in recent years has made
necessary a much broader and more thor
ough course of medical education than
formerly prevailed. 1t insists that
four-year high school course is required;
a year of physics, chemistry and biology;
two years of practical laboratory work;
two years of clinical work in hospitals,
and a year as inferno in hospital. To
proyise adequate equipment, medical
schools must be endowed. 1t is found
that many of our medical schools are still
conducted solely for profit, which is con-
trary to the spirit of true attainment.
