RIO GRANDE TELEGRAPHERS
ARE DELAYING THE STRIKE

Denver. Oct. 4-H. B. Perham, ma
tional president of the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers. arrived in Denver
at noon yesterday and at once assumed
charge of the trouble on the Denver
& Rio Grande over the discharge of
Wire Chief R. H. Skeggs of Grand
Junction for refusing to test Western
Union wires. He was closeted all af-
ternoon with the committee of the
road at the ST. James hotel and will
remain in Denver until Vice President
Schiacks returns home. when Mr.. Per-
ham will meet him and present the
same request as did the general griev-
ance committee to General Superin-
tendent Welby and Assistant General
Manager ". S. Martin.
II Vice President Schlacks refuses
the request it is more than likely that
President Perham will call out the
men. 400 in number, on the entire
Denver & Rio Grande system. He has
the authority to do this without a
referendum vote of the membership.
I'VE do not like to mention the word
strike in connection with our negotia-
tions." said Mr. Perham. We always
do things as intelligeEly as possible
first OF course, l am not familiar
with the situation in Denver and have
not had time to look into the Skeggs
case. We expect to go over today and
the matter will be probed to the bot
tom l will hear all sides of the case.
Then II We think Skeggs has been un-
justly discharged We will ask for his
reinstatement from the highest oficials
of the road"
Asked a. to the possibility of the
strike spreading to other roads and
possibly involving the entire Gould
system, President Perham said he did
not think there was any immediate
danger OF such a thing happening.

SENATOR BORAH ACQUITTED
OF CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY

tor Borah took the stand as the first
witness in his own behalf.
Senator Borah said he had been a
personal friend of former Governor
Steunenberg for years prior to his
death. but never was employed as his
attorney. He became general counsel
for the Barber Lumber company in
1908. AS such counsel he had several
conversations with timber inspector
Sharp in regard to reports Of frauds
and asked to be informed whenever q
fraudulent claim was unearthed %
his company, which was a heavy pur-
chaser. might be protected.
The visit to former Governor Nor
rison was explained by Senator Borah
with the statement that the Barber
Lumber company had purchased q
quantity of scrip and had prepared to
scrip the section where the state had
finally decided to take up 1000 acres.
The company idea was to scrip the
land ahead o fentrymen. Gov Morrison
did not give him any specific informa-
ton.
AS to deeds going through his
once, Senator Borah said that alto
gether 3s9 deeds had been SO record
ed. He had nothing to do with any
Of the purchases. many OF which were
made long before lie becsm me attorue,
for the company. No controversy a.
rising over the deeds. nothing In re-
gard to them was ever referred to
him His inquiry as to why the lands
had been taken In the names OF Rand.
Long and others brought forward by
the government as dummy" trustees,
Senator Borah said was answered by
the company officers to the effect that
II 1t became known that a corporation
was In the field. the price Of the lands
would have been doubled. For this
same reason the Barber Mill site here
In Boise was also purchased in Rand's
name
Senator Borah called on the prose-
cution to produce these deeds in court
In corroboration of this statement.
Il never prepared deed for any
entryman or trustee, said Senator
Borah Il do not and never did own
a dollar OF stock In the Barber Lum-
Der company. My compensation has
always been a fixed salary and I
never had any contingent fee or in
terest whatsoeve::."

Tough Beefsteak.

A remark was inadvertently over
heard the other day in one of Fort
Collins prominent hotels, which was
in substance that, while this meat in
spection might be all right, the beef
steak was as tough as ever. Meat in
sspection guarantees that every animal
shall be healthy, and the meat fit for
food; 1t does not guarantee that all
animals killed shall furnish juicy
meat @
The question is often asked: why
do we have so much better meat in
the East than we do in the West?"
The difference is easily explained: In
the East the range conditions do not
exist; the animals are fed and kept
growing every day from their birth
In Colorado. range conditions largely
prevail. 1t is either feast or 4 fam
inc: animals thrive on the rich, nu-
tritious grasses of the western ranges
during the summer, and in the winter,
in most cases, are allowed to shrink.
An animal that has once become poor
will never make good, juicy beefsteak
afterwards. no matter how fat he may
be at the time of killing. This is the
secret of tender beef and the reason
why We do not get good meat in this
western country, where the live stock
business Is one Of the cardinal in
dus; rieS.
This complaint about tough beef
steak is as old as civilization in tho
West 1t Is bound to continue more
or less until farmers learn that there
is more money in baby beef. and in
keeping the calves growing every day
from the time they are born until
they are a year and half old, and
then selling them for the market. In
this way. the producer profits by the
growth of the early life Of the animal.
The profit in feeding an animal grad
ually increases until the steer IL .
year and a half old. In fact. there n
very little II any money in the small
additional growth OF the animal after
this age. The matter of tough beef
is up to the producer. and not to the
food inspector.

FILE CASE TO TEST THE
RAILROAD TAX LAW

Denver, Oct. Am important test
case. involving the financial relations
OF practically every railroad in Colo
RADIO with the counties through which
they pass, has been filed in the United
States court The suit is brought by
e. B. Simmons, county treasurer of Ell
Paso county, against the Santa Fe
railroad, and in deciding the case
Judge Lewis will be asked to interpret
the railroad tax law. The controversy
between the county officers of Ell Paso
county and the railroad company rose
over the 1906 tax assessment. The
Santa Fe has approximately forty
eight miles of track in Ell Paso
county.
According to the system of valuation
and apportionment adopted by the tax
board this road was taxed at the rate
of $4,000 mile and the total valua-
ton amounted to $776,s7O. The tax
claimed by the county for the year
was over $15.200. The railroad COM
pany contended that all the county
was entitled to was $13.1S3. 1t held
that the system of apportionment in
use by the state board was all wrong,
that it was contrary to the statutes.
1t held that the total valuation should
be divided in each county according
to the mileage in that county and not
according to the local valuation. The
road, therefore, refused to pay the
taxes assessed in El Paso and the suit
was brought.

REBUKES WIFE OF NAN WHO
CALLS HER DAUGHTER AFFINITY

Chicago, Oct. 4.-The most sensa-
tional case Of afhnity of recent years,
that Of Patrick Henry Hirsch. the
wealthy New York railroad builder.
and Miss Ruby Yeargain, now inter-
esting New York. was found to have
had its origin In Chicago.
The startling story, as developed in
detail. runs through love chapters con-
tanning the breaking up of the Hirsch
home through the meeting of these
new love by the mother of Miss Year
gain. r-
They love each other dearly and 1t
is not right that they should meet
with interference" is the remarkable
point of view given by the mother of

are one. 20 let others keep their hands

The rich Mr.. Hirsch. who 10 the
leading spirit In the Interurban rail-
way, has q wife and son. and 1t ls
through his wife that the afinity case
has been revealed to the public. She
gathered the facts through detectives.
The mother of Miss Yeargain knew
udu "ll0
knew that he had not married her
daughter and yet she insistently ap-
proves OF the "afiinity alliance" and

and everlasting and let others hold
their peace"
Hirsch and his affinity took up their
abode in fashionable quarters in New
York. They were undisturbed until
they were found by detectives sent by
Mrs. Hirsch- Their arrest and subse-
quent publicity followed.
1t is because o fthe remarkable at
titude of Miss Yeargain's mother after
Mrs. Hirsch had caused the arrest of
the pair and had told how they had
kept her little boy from her, taught
him to call Miss Yeargain mother"
that the case is one o fthe strangest
ever brought into a police court 1t
.s even more astonishing in this res
pect than the Earle case.
1t is a crime to arrest my daughter
and Mr.. Hirsch." said the mother of
the girl. l have consented to live here
with them because l know they love
one another deeply. Mr.. Hirsch loves
my daughter. and he does not love
his wife. I have understood all along
that my daughter was not married to
Mr.. Hirsch, but I could pardon the
conditions because their two souls
were one. They, love each other dear
ly, and it is not right to interfere with
such love"
