DEAR SIR;


We the undersigned business firms of
Idaho Springs desire call your attention the unde
srabe freight service receiving with reference to
incoming freight shipments. Instances Of frequent
occurrence where load lots of merchandise ordered
by have been from days and long
nineteen days reaching after they have been receipt
ed for by your company in Denver. This is source of
much loss and unpleasantness and unable to
receive any satisfactory replies any relative to
where these held when may expect to
receive them
We also wish to express dissatisfaction with ref
to the nconvenen and limited trackage for the
placing Of loaded consigned to principal
trackage being located Immediately next to your
main line with insufficient space between to per-
NIT of teams loading while passenger trains and switch
engines passing thereby causing the loss of much
time well as great danger of accident.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
STUDENTS H0NORED

The athletic council of George WASH
ingtop University held its first meeting
since~the close of the foot ball season
last night at the medical school of the
university. So great was the volume of
business to be transacted that after a
continuous session lasting fro mi 80 until
II pm. the council was unable to dispose
Of all matters before it. and adjourned to
meet again December II.
Although it was confidently expected
that some action would be taken by the
council relative to the attitude of George
town in severing relations with George
Washington, no such action was taken.
Several members of the council when
asked for their views refused to make any
statement whatsoever, and a unanimous
sentiment to ignore the action of the
university across the creek seemed to pre-
vail.
The council was loud in its praises of
the foot ball team. the spirit and willing
ness with which it had responded under
conditions and circumstances most dis
couraging as to it's ultimate success. The
university W. was awarded to the fol-
lowing men who made the varsity: SOM
mers. Cunning, Holmes, Baker, Calf,
Brookes. Aston. Witten. Maxey, White
Whitehead, Harralson. Crafts, Hough
Pierce, Hooten and Manager Ball.

JOE CANS FLASHED
A BIG BANK ROLL

BALTIMORE. Md. December 5.-Joe
Cans, the lightweight champion of the
world, was given a temporary knockout
blow by Justice Grammar, at the central
police station, yesterday afternoon, when
he was fined SO and costs for speeding
his automobile faster than twelve miles
an hour. The blow from the magistrate
was not very effective. for the coored
champion dug down into his jeans and
pulled forth a roll of bills that almost
staggered those in the courtroom. At
first he handed out 800 note, but drew
it back in place of a $50. He was given
the change and departed
Cans was arrested on warrant sworn
out by Patrolman Durfee of the central
district. According to the testimony of
the officers, Cans crossed Mount ROYAL
avenue and Charles street at a rate faster
than twenty-five miles an hour The
champion said he did not think he was
going faster than a ten-mile clip. tie
said he was in a hurry because he had
with him three United States senators
who had been stopping at the Belvedere.
He had taken them down to see his Gold
field Hotel. and was in a hurry to get
them back to their hotel. When closely
questioned by the magistrate it developed
that the senator story was a ruse by
which the champion had hoped to ESCAPE
punishment.

TROTTING BOARD
OF REVIEW CASES

NEW YORK, December 5.-The board
of review of the National Trotting Asso-
citation yesterday considered a number of
applications for removal of penalties WIS.,
tied upon horses, owners and drivers for
offenses of various character upon the
tracks under the associations control.
The board denied the application of
George W. Rice of Springfield, Mass, who
appeared to appeal from the decision of
the judges in the half mile heat pace at
the Imperial Driving Park meeting last
May in Springfield.
The board expelled Gilbert F. Caire for
ringing" the mare Celia as Miss Grey
line on several Long Island tracks last
season. The driver. Nelson Varney, was
not further penalized, and his suspension
stands until the end of the year. The
mare Celia was expelled from all associa-
ton tracks.
A decision which may have wide bear
ing was handed down in reference to the
protest of Fred Isabel a New Bedford
Mass. driver. who had an entry in a
race in Taunton, Mass. last September.
Another horse, Alice Mark. started in. the
pace wearing hopples, but after the first
heat they were removed. Isabel protested
the race, and the board held that 'hav-
ing started in topples horse is ineligible
to finish race without them.
ne DOdTQ suspended tle OCIdHlou bllN

Simrell, it's vice president, and c. p

The Tri-State Fair Association of Pitts
burg, Pa, and its officers. including 8. J
Rochershouser, treasurer, and Lee Neil.
waine. secretary, were all suspended un.
til collections with % per cent penalty
are returned.
So far as the board is concerned fina1
action was taken yesterday in the famous
Memphis gold cup case.
After an investigation the board decided
without further consideration to drop the
case against Millard Sanders, trainer OF
Lou Dillon. which, it was for many
months alleged. was "doped" sufficiently
to cause her to lose the famous race al
Memphis October IS. 1904. The 5000 golc
cup was won by Major Delmar owned
by E. E. Smathers. c. X. G. Billings
owner of Lou Dillon. charged that his
mare had been 'doped."

I will no longer offend. I have been
splndidly treated by the New York Amer
leans, and with our new talent think we
will pull down that banner next season
and that world series prize money"
President Ban johnson comes out in
favor of legislation against the tiresome
tricks of delaying games while new balls
are being soiled upon the grass. This
practice nas been harped on for many
years. but there is no abatement in the
evil Per contra, it grew much worse
last season, many pitchers putting in
three or four minutes rubbing every
sphere.
johnson said: THE pitchers claim that
glossy new ball is hard to pitch is a
baId-faced subterfuge. Nothing of the
sort. They rub the ball with two pur-
poses-to blacken it 50 that it will be
handler to hit, and to gain breathing time
While they recruit their energies and re-
gain their nerve.
Batting is light enough already, and
why should there be any objection to a
law which will both speed up the game
and help the hitting?"
Pre- sident johnson also opposes the sale
of Bottled drinks during games to pre-
vent rowdies throwing the empty bottles.

made to the Commissioners yesterday by
Building Inspector Ashford. the cost OF
building operations in the District dur.
ing November for which permits were
issued is estimated at 1896. 7ss. Although
this total is s521s4 more than the total
for October, it is looked upon as excep-
tionally small by the officials of the
building inspectors Office. Mr.. Ashford
said that the recent financial depression
was probably due to this lack of opera
ton.

building inspector for building transac-
tions of all kinds last month. There
were no particularly large individual per
mits. The most prominent permits Is
sued we're: IS for brick repairs and adj

PHILADELPHIA, December 5.-Tommy
Lowe of Washington. D. c.. had slightly
the better of the wind-up with Eddie Car
ter at the Wayne A. c., last night Car
ter was very aggressive in every round
but Lowe brought his cleverness into play
and it was hard for Eddie to get past
Tommy's defense except in the first and
second rounds
In the third and fourth rounds Lowe
outpointed Carter by a considerable mar
gin. In the last two rounds Carter fought
very hard to get in close, which he was
seldom able to do except in the closing
minute Of the bout. At this stage Carter
was wilder than usual and once Lowe
swung his right three times to Eddie's
Jaw without q return.

undefeated Fort Monroe team, and the
game will be pulled OF in this city at the
American League Park Saturday next.
Both teams are confident and as the
Navy team has been practicing ever since
the Thanksgiving day game. fast, hard

appear with almost the same players that
it played the Army with last, and 1t
is believed that one of the finest games
of the year will be pulled off Followers
of the sport will certainly appreciate the
branches Of the military service The
question is. which team will win? The
betting is even, and from class there is
practically no difference in the two teams

BASE BALL NOTES.

There will be a wild scramble for first
basemen at the annual meeting of the
American League in Chicago next week
At least, three clubs are hard UP for a
spod man for the initial sack. This scram-
! bic may prove more interesting than the
pow-wow at the meeting.
There is really no necessity for a good
player to become discouraged because he
has, slumped bit in ability. Something
like twenty players who have seen serv-
ice. in the major leagues and then been
shipped to the minors will be given a
chahce with the majors again next sea-
son.
The Detroit Tigers have decided to stand
pat on their team for next season. This
means that Mcintyre is expected to be in
shape to take his regular position in the
outfield. The Tigers will let the Philade
phia Athletics, do the hustling for new
players
There is report from Boston to the
effect that President Doe of the Provi-
dence Easteri: League Club is trying to
induce Owner John F. Taylor of the Bos-
ton Americans to buy the Providence
franchise. 1t would cost Taylor quite a
head of gold TO secure this minor league
club One Of the owners is not anxious
to sell.
Barney JOY. the Honolulu twirler, has
returned to his home with the Honolulu
Stars. While in California Joy pitched
some good ball. but at other times he was
rotten" to put 1t mildly. Joy is said to
have been drafted by one of the Boston
major teams. bat the general impression
on the coast is that he has gone back to
Honolulu for good.
President Dovey. of the Boston Nationals
has just given has reason for relieving
Fred Tenney of ,the management of his
team. Dewey said that while Tenney was
fine fellow. he was a poor manager.
Dewey declared that sixty-five of the nine
ty games Boston lost last season were
closely fought. and that twenty of these
siXty-five could have been won If the
team had been properly managed.
