be numerous arrests later
Deputy Attorney General Cunning ham
thus sums up the situation IN Pennsyl-
vania's campaign FOR vengeance on the
State treasury looters, and the warfare
for the recovery Of the stolen money.
Yesterdays arrests were hastened By
the necessity for action before prosccu-
ton was barred by the statute Of umi-
tsuons.
Watching Politicians.
Cunningham refused TO indicate who
will be arrested next. but it is intimatcd
that a number Of persons high in the
political world viii have considersb bic
to explain. At least FIVE Of the num-
ber were not openly connected with
capitol contracts, but are suspected OF
receiving commissions for their Inhu-
ence.
The amounts Of thefts Is approximate
~ S4SS1.000 on a maximum expenditure
OF a trihe less than S13.9000o0. and that
all Of this amount went into the pockets
neither Of the contractors nor their
tools is known absolutely TO Governor
Stuart and his legal advisers.
\ If the charges made secretly against
high politicians are established. mcu
whose escutcheons have hitherto re-
mained unsuliied wsn be smirched.
Todd in Philadelphia.
Attorrey. General Todd is sdn in Phil
sdelphia working on business connected
with the graft prosecutions. nearly AL
OF the Interested individuals have gone
home, and nothing more remains to be
done until the grand jury meets next
week.
In connection with the graft prosecu-
tions. the Pennsy lvania conspiracy law
is to be brought into use. Attorney
General Todd places much reliance on
this weapon. He expects to show col
lusion and conspiracy TO defraud the
State.
The attorney general is quoted here
today as saving that the work OF sew
ing the warrants Is progressing salts
factorily, and that he expects TO have
All the accused under bond by noon

Dealers Discuss Prices.

A dairy to-dairy canvass by Times
representative this morning developed
that the largest milk dealers in the
CITY are unanimous in the opinion that
the retail price Of milk must be in
creased az least cents per quart II
further developed that the dealers 5re
Nv no means IN Gu optimistic frame OF
mind, and the prediction IS made that
the demand for milk VIII be so cur
tailed on account of the increased price
that many dealers viii quit the busl-
ness.
There could be no better Indication
that q decided increase is impending
than the action OF one <of the largest
dealers Of the city in refusing yesCer-
day 10 sign a winter contract with one
OF the hospitals, at the Old price OF 81
cents per gallon. The dealer declined
20 sign under 40 cents.

Mint to Coin Silver,

Denver.-Silver coin will be turned
out from the Denver mint beginning
Immediately at the full capacity of
the plant, provided that enough sill
yer can be secured to keep it at that
capacity. The mint has capacity
of $4,000 day or 100000 pieces at
so cents each. In quarters it has about
the same capacity in pieces, SO that
$4,000 day may be reached
Superintendent Frank NJ. Downer
of the mint said that he did not know
how long the coinage of silver would
last. Tie American Smelling & Re-
fining Company Friday took advan-
tage of the change in the currency by
sending twenty-one carloads of silver
bullion to the Omaha smelters, where
it is to be refined and reshipped to
Denver, as the smelters of this city
and Leadville do not refine to the ex-
tent required by the mint The ship
ment was very large. the usual ship
ments not being more than one-third

THE GLtNWUOD POST
A. J. Dickson, Editor and Prop.
GLENwOoD SPRINGS. COLORADO
COLLEGE Manners,

The dean of the women's depart
told her undergraduates that they are
habitually guilty of various offenses
against the laws which govern the
well-bred. 1t is wholesome that this
criticism should come from within q
college, for that brings hope of ra
tional Improvement. 1t has always
been true that a community composed
chiefly of persons of one sex has a
tendency to drop into carelessness Of
behavior Colleges have been no ex-
ception to the rule. A certain mother
had entered her daughter at a we'll
known college, and went to the town
to make the last arrangements for her
room and studies. She CHANGED to
arrive on the campus ct the time of
the hourly change of classes. She
stood on the green, watching the hun
dreds of young women as they trooped
out of recitation rooms and dormitor
les. What she saw in five minutes
caused her to determine to send her
daughter to Europe with a tutor
rather than to college. What was
wrong with the girls?" asked friend
who could not understand what
seemed to her a capricious change of
plan. Nothing was wrong" replied
the mother IF there had been any
question of morals in the case,
should not have hesitated to trust
Mary to stand her ground. But bad
manners are more subtly contagious
than bad morals. l could not bear to
think of my daughter among the
screaming, 'stramming, slouching
girls, careless of dress and hair and
voice, who swarmed over that campus.
Doubtless there were well-bred girls
there, but they were lost in the
crowd. Education of the mind is good,
but unless it goes hand in hand with
breeding in gentle manners, it makes
scholars who are neither good citizens
nor sweet women-and l want none of
such in my family" So, remarks the
Youths Companion, deans and presi-
dents and professors of women's col
leges may well take to heart the fact
that the world now, as in the past, is
more exacting as to a girls manners
than as to her requirements. Nothing
v.uld prove a greater obstacle to the
future spread of the higher education
of women than evidence that it is in
fullest sense of that noble word, gen

The Glenwood post., 1907-11-30

A German Psychologist has ad-
vanced the proposition that the Phar-
aoh who would not let Israel go had
seven bad teeth, and that it was their
combined influence that gave him so
bad disposition. This might be
plausible, but it hardly accords with
the theory of the divine mission of
Moses If it had been merely a case
of toothache it would have been much
simpler to have had Moses cure it and
gain the unlimited favor of Pharaoh
than to go through with that long list
of plaques and worry a lot of innocent
Egyptians who did not have the
toothache. 1t looks like another of
those insidous attacks on the inspira-
tion of the Bible.

GOES TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Earthquake City Get Next Transmits
sissippi Congress.

Muskogee, Okla.-San Francisco
Thursday afternoon was selected as
the city in which the TransMississippi
Congress should meet next year.
When the cities were fighting for
the honor of the next annual meeting
of the Congress, President Loveland,
in voice choked with sobs, told OF
his sitting with the committee OF fifty
appointed to receive the messages of
sympathy which flashed from the cor
ners of the earth to the stricken city
of San Francisco on the days that fol-
lowed the great horror and with tears
in his eyes he asked that the honor be
given to the metropolis Of the West.
San Francisco had won before the
cheers that answered President Love
lands speech had died from the hall.
The congress elected the following
officers for the ensuing year year:
President, ]. B. Case, Abilene, Kan
sas; vice president, Col. Ike T. Prior,
San Antonio, Texas; second vice presi-
dent, N. c. Larrimore, North Dakota;
third vice president, w. F. Baker,
Council Bluffs; fourth vice president,
J. F. Callbreath, Denver; secretary, Ar
thur E. Francis, Cripple Creek.
Robert Owen and Thomas T. Gore,
United States senators elect, met i'll n
debate during the session and the pow
ers of both were put to the test. The
committee on resolutions had rejected
the resolution commencing the action
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Cortelyou in issuing government GER
tificates, offered Wednesday by David
R. Frances. ex-governor of Missouri,
by vote of IL to II, the chairman
Al,
committee was so evenly divided the
resolution was referred back to the
house. The sentiment seemed to favor
the action of the committee.
Senator Gore urged that the house
vote the resolution down. Senator
Owen followed his colleague, declaring
that the resolution should be carried
The house went to the side OF the In
diana senator and when the vote was
called the resolution was adopted by
a vote of 1876 to 43.
A resolution was presented by mer-
chants of the Trans Mississippi coun-
try asking that the congress declare
against the parcels post.
The Commercial Club of Council
Bluffs presented a resolution asking
for the Endorsement of the congress for
the improvement of the Iiissouri river,
the waterway from the lakes to the
gulf and for other rivers in the South
west.
Henry T Clark of Omaha made an
address which was plea for extension
of navigation to Omaha. He recalled
the great navigation of fifty years ago
and said:
1T is the rebate and the pass that
have driven these boats from the NV
ers."

Grange Resolutions.

Hartford, Conn.-The Nationai
Grange ended its forty-first annual
session Friday. Resolutions were
adopted in favor of the bill before
Congress approprating ten cents per
capita to cities for mechanical art
high schools, and ten cents per capita
in rural districts for agricultural
schools.
The report on railroads demanded
of the government some sort of over
sight powerful enough to compel obe-
dience and broad enough to avoid in
justice.
Resolutions were adopted advocat-
ing the reservation of forests for all
time.
Another resolution declares:
Whereas, The National Grange
stands for the equality of men and
women in the home and grange and
Whereas. The National Grange has
declared from time to time in favor of
the equality of citizens; therefore
Resolved, That the political rights
Of women be discussed in meetings

Loving Cup For Helen Gould.

New York.-First because she is
a friend of the sailor, but also because
she gave nearly half a million dollars
toward the Y. NJ. C. A. home in Brook
lyn. 5000 enlisted men of the navy
presented to Miss Helen Gould a sill
yer loving cup Tuesday. The new Y.
NJ. C. A. building and furnishings cost
100000 and the funds were furnished
equally by Miss Gould and Mrs. Rus
sell Sage.
Those present included representa-
tives of all the war vessels in the har-
Dor. The bluejackets cheered Miss
Gould with a roar that could be heard
blocks away when two apprentice sea
men pulled aside the flags and re,
vealed on a base of beauty roses the
cup which James Mcneil, third class
yeoman afterward rendered to the
woman philanthropist.
Miss Gould gave expression of her
approval in characteristic little
speech.

Adams Damaging Letters.

Rathdrum, Idaho.-The most dra-
matte incident connected with the
trial of Steve Adams, on trial here
for the murder of Fred Tyler, was the
introduction of two letters by James
H. Hawley, counsel for the state,
Thursday afternoon. The defense OBJ
jected to their being read to the jury,
but Judge Wood declared them prop
erly identified. They were written be-
tween the time Adams confessed and
signed his confessions.
The letters were written by Adams
while in the Idaho penitentiary to
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, an aunt and
uncle, and to his brother. w. t.
Adams. Their general tenor is dis
closed in the following extract:
81 am glad to hear of your belief in
my innocence. i wish to God that l
was, but | fell in with bad company
and was led to commit number of
most vile sins, breaking the law of
both man and God Had l stayed with
my church and with the raising of my
poor parents, who are, | believe, in
heaven, ! would be a free man today.
But l allowed myself to be led into
sin most damnable. l am going to try
to undo what l have done, and sin no
more"
Each side has introduced its in
structions, the state asking. as before,
for murder in either the first or sec
ond degrees or manslaughter. The
defense has changed few of its sug-
gestions.

WRIGHT BROTHERS. AIRsAIP.
Report That It Has Been Purchased
by the Government.

~ thG SoNS'
New York.-Striving to construct an
aerial warship, the United States gov
ernment, it has been ascertained on
good authority. has obtained control of
the aeroplane invented by Wilbur and
Orville c. Wright brothers, of Dayton,
Ohio. who it is admitted by all aero
nautic experts, have solved the secret
of aerial navigation with heavier
than air" flying machine.
Both the War Department and the
brothers have guarded the secret con-
tract with great care, and denials were
made by government officials today
that the United States had made any
deal with the Wrights.
After having made the contract with
the government, the brothers, who
had been watched by secret agents
from at least six countries of Europe
and the Far East, took their machine
to pieces and went to Europe. 1t was
said they had gone abroad to negoti-
ate with foreign countries for the sale
fact they are in the employ of this
country and are under instructions to
get all information possible of the pro-
gress made by other countries in the
art of flying.
They are expected back next month
Then part of the fruits of their for
eign mission will be evident.
The government for many years has
spent money secretly in trying to solve
the problems of aerial navigation, and
in the first of the year. it will begin
to work in the open. While it is not
likely that all the work which the
Wright brothers have accomplished
will be made public, arrangements are
under way for experiments in Fort
Wadsworth, in Washington and in var
ious forts throughout the country.
Secretary Taft will ask congress at
the next session to appropriate at least
100000 for the building of an airship
fleet. The contract with the Wright
brothers, however, is reported to have
been made with money that came from
a secret government fund. 1t is from
that same fund that the government
has been spending money for many
years investigating the problem of air
navigation. Though the United States
had generally thought to be far behind
other countries in this work, the fact
Is, in the opinion of one high authority,
that the United States leads the world.
Air warships are no longer dream,
this man asserts. The Wright broth
ers claim to have demonstrated the
Eracticability of aerial flight.

Value of Manufactures,

Shington.-Fifteen billions of dol
lars represents the value of the annual
production of manufacturers in the
United States. After careful estimates
were made by experts, John NJ Car.
son, chief of the bureau of manufac-
lures, was able to make this state
ment in the annual report of the op-
erations of his bureau, just made pub
lie. The figures do not represent fn-
ished products entirely, but include
products in various stages of progress.
List year the aggregate value of do
nestle merchandise exported was ST..
$4,000 ,0O0 an increase of nearly $136,
100000 over the preceding year In
this classification manufactures ready
for consumption" are credited with
$3.50, 100000 and the figures are gen
orally accepted as the extent OF the
exports of manufactures.
The report of the bureau, however,
groups this classification with those of
food stuffs partly or wholly manufac
tured' and manufactures for further
use in manufacturing" the aggregate
exports of which last year were $500,
100000, and this amount, added TO
manufactures ready for consumption, -
makes the aggregate value of manu-.
factures exported in the year ending
June 80, $1,OS6OOO,O0O, or more than
fifty-eight per cent. of the entire ex.
ports of the year. Special significance
is attached to the increase of nearly
$2O,000,000 in the exports of completed
manufactures, in view of the fact that
the exports of cotton clothes declined
more than 1921, 100000, this loss beng
entirely in the cotton trade with China
The popular feeling aroused in that
country, growing out of alleged out.
RACES against Chinese residents in the
United States, is assigned as a contrib.
utory cause for this decline.
The cotton seed products exports for
the year were more than $4,000, 900
an increase of $9,500,OO0 over 1906
In commenting on these figures, the
report says;
aside from its intrinsic value, this
relatively new industry has an econom.
ic value and Importance to the country
the beneficial results of which are es.
pecially felt in the southern states, in
which the cotton seed industry is nat
usually located"

German Navy Estimate,

Berlin.-The ministry Of marine has
prepared estimates OF the probable
cost Of the navy for the 10 years 1908
II for submission to the reichstag. The
total Is 1,049.O0O,OOO or an average of
$104 100000 yearly. The expenditures
include $250,OOO in 1909; $4,000, 900
in 1910. and $115,25O,OOO in 1911,
thence declining to $104 4,250,OOO in 1917.
The ministry's estimate officially sub
mitted to the reichstag in 1906 for
the same period totals SPAS, 100000 less,
30 that the modified program brought
in by the government for the approval
of parliament costs on an average of
24.5OO,OO0 more yearly than hitherto.

Two Drowned at Denver.

Denver.-In an heroic attempt to
save the life of thirteen-year-old
George Bugh. who had broken through
the ice at the east end of Cooper lake
Saturday afternoon and lost his life,
Joseph A. Gibson, twenty-one years
years old, was also drowned. Charles
Warren, twenty years old, who went
to the rescue with Gibson. was
plunged into the lake. but was
pulled out by William F. Alv-
ers, who in turn fell through the
ice, and was on the point OF
drowning, when his thirteen-year-old
son Edward proved himself hero, in
the presence of hundred stupefied
spectators. by dragging his father to
safety. The bodies of the two who
were drowned were recovered two
hours after the accident and removed
to the morgue.

RIO aRANoE IMPROVEMENTS,
New Double Track Laid Through
Eagle River canon.

Denver.-The work of double-track.
ing the Eagle River Canon on the
main trans-continental line of the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad just west
of Leadville, is now completed. The
contractors, the Phillips Construction
Company & O'Gara, who commenced
work a little over year ago, have
finished their contract, and one of the
greatest engineering feats Of the year
has been successfully accomplished.
The new second track built through
the narrow Eagle River Canon has
cost more than 100000 per mile to
construct, but the relief afforded by
this great Improvement, by which
trains can be more easily operated
over the steep grade on the west side
of Tennessee Pass, will be worth many
times the cost of construction.
In the five miles of canon work
there are three tunnels with total
length of 500 feet, being 100, 800 and
400 feet respectively. There are five
steel bridges, with reinforced con-
crete floor slab, with ballast under the
track of a fine quality of crushed
rock. The steel girders are probably
lHe heaviest ever uSeu III DTluSe con-
struction. The track is laid with new
eighty-fve pound to the yard steel
rolled by the Colorado Fuel G. Iron
Company at their Pueblo plant, with
tie plates and entirely new track ma
terial throughout. The new line, which
is used for the eastbound, or uphill
haul, reduces the grade from 33 per
cent. to 2.3 per cent, and the curva'
ture is also greatly lessened.
The enormous outlay considering
the length of new track) was necessi-
tated by the constantly increasing bus
mess, both freight and passenger, of
the Rio Grande road, and the tremen-
dous increase in volume anticipated
with the completion of the Western
Pacific year hence.
A popularity of location, and one
not met with elsewhere, is the build
ing Of the tracks on each side of the
Eagle river. Between the high walls
of the narrow canon there is just room
enough for the two tracks and the
rushing river.
From one end of the canon to the
other and on both sides, mining for
gold, silver and lead is being carried
on extensively. Shaft houses and ore
bins are perched high up on narrow
lodges, and the wonder is they do not
slide into the river far below. There
is not another canon in the Rocky
mountains traversed by railroad
where mining operations can be seen
as in this, the Eagle River Canon.

To Disband Commission.

Chicago.-Executive officials OF
Western railroads have decided to dis
solve the Western Passenger Associa-
tion after January and to disband the
Western Passenger commission. This
decision was reached after several con
ferences at which it was ascertained
that the general opinion favored dis
solution of the agreement. The com
mission is one of the most famous or
ganizations in the railroad world and
has governed the issuance of free
transportation in the West for many
years, but the Hepburn law has made
1t no longer necessary.

Proposed Pixies Peak Park,

Colorado Springs.-Mayor Heller is
working on a plan to have Congress
create national park out OF the
Pixies Peak forest reserve, covering
about $4,000 acres of forest land and
including some of the best known
scenic attractions of the Rocky noun
tains. To this end he will enlist the
support of some of the most infiuen-
tial men of the West. Should the gov
ernment create the park, troops would
probably be established at some point
near Colorado Springs and all natural
attractions would be preserved intact.
The government would supervise the
construction Of all roads within the
preserve.

Irish Nationalist Unity,

London. - Nationalist unity, fore
shadowed by John e. Redmond, the
nationalist leader, appears to be on
the eve of accomplishment. Communi.
cations have been passing between
the leaders Of the party, and William
O'Brien, member of Parliament for
Cork, speaking at Ballycullian, Wex-
ford, expressed the belief that all ma
tionalist representatives would be put
under the same flag. Timothy Healy.
nationalist member of Parliament for
the north division OF Louth, wrote also
expressing his approval of the sug-
gested terms of the agreement, but re-
questing that the question of his read
mission into the party should be de.
ferred.
