VICE ON ISTHMUS
YOUNG AMERICAN GIRLS HELD IN
SLAVERY AND DIsHoNoR.
SALOON TO EVERY MILE POST
Editor Ferguson Returns From Pan.
anna and Tells Some Very Vivid
Stories Of Misdoinss by Govern

| ment Employees.
That young American girls are held
in slavery in disorderly houses in the
Panama canal zone is the charge made
by William P. F. Ferguson. editor OF
the Defender, a New York Prohibition
paper, who addressed the weekly meet
! ing of the Methodist ministers in Den
yer recently.
AS a result of his disclosures, there
| is developing a movement of protest
that will reach Washington in short
time, backed by the churches OF the
| entire country
Ferguson spent a month on the 18TH
| mus looking into conditions of vice,
| and his charges are summed up as fol-
lows:
Land owned by the government is
leased to owners of disorderly houses,
with full knowledge of the purposes
for which the property is used.
Such places are in control of syn
dicate of Americans and Panamians.

young girls from the states.
One of the largest places of this de-
the son-in-law of the Panam!an gov
ernor of Colon.
One of the leading officials of the
panama railroad, which is owned by
the United States, has just completed a
three-story building in Colon, which is
used for immoral purposes.
Conditions on the isthmus are
shocking" said Mr.. Ferguson. Sec
retary Taft, in reply to the arraign.
ment of Poultney Bigelow some time
ago, said there were no immoral
houses in the canal zone. That was
true only rs far as public places are
concerned. / found in my investiga-
tion that there were many such dens
run under cover, but with the knowl-
edge of the authorities. Outside of the

rible picture. Vice runs rampant. |

held in slavery by syndicate, which
is composed of Americans and Pana-
mians. In more than one town l found
such places Immediately adjoining
school houses"
Land owned by the government is
under lease to owners of these dens,
and in some cases officials connected
with the government are interested in
them. For example, an official OF the
Panama railroad has just finished a
three-story house in Colon, Which is
being used as disorderly house.
In the canal zone there is an aver
age of one saloon to every milepost.
the number being fifty. There were 102
saloons, but the number has been cut
/ down arbitrarily one-half, but there are
| still too many.
THE saloons are the only ioafing
place for the Americans employed in
building the canal, the government
clubhouses not yet being completed"

Farmers Object to Tailinss.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-An injunc-
ton suit and actions for damages are
imminent against the various reduction
mills of Colorado City because of the
dumping Of thousands of tons of tall
ings daily in Fountain creek. The farm
ers of Fountain valley between Colo
RADIO Springs and the town of Fountain
have banded themselves together for
protection.
Their contention is that the cyanide
and other chemical solutions are slowly
but surely killing the crops and turn
ing thousands of acres of fertile land
into q desert. They also contend that
the mill tailings, which consist wholly
of pulverized granite, contain no plant
fooo. and Is also running the land.
They claim that the sediment COM
pletely fills their bitches in twenty
four hours, and just now, when water
is badly needed, they cannot get water
on their land. A conference is being
held with the mill managers, and If
this should not prove satisfactory, the
farmers say they will Immediately ap-
peal to the courts.

SEVEN MEN BURIED ALIVE.
Colorado Miners Caught in a Trap and
Are Burned or Suffocated.

Trinidad, COlo.-Seven men, includ-
ing Superintendent Alex Jacobs. were
either burned to death or suffocated in
the Engleville mine at Engleville, a
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company camp
four miles south of Trinidad, some
time on the night of May 10th The
bodies, including that of Superintend-
ent Jacobs, have already been recov-
cred.
The men went to work, and when
they did not come out in the morning
an investigation was started. 1t was
discovered that fire which broke out in
the mine year ago and was still burn
ing in some sections, had suddenly
spread and swept across the incline
tunnel cutting off the men and pre-
venting them from reaching the out
side.
The point where the flames crossed
the tunnel is fully three miles from the
opening and it was necessary to dig a
temporary tunnel around the fire in
order to reach the bodies of the i'll
fated miners.
The names Of the other six dead
cannot be obtained at this time: they
were white miners and had lived at
Engleville for many years.
The Engleville mine is one of the
oldest coal producers in Colorado, hav-
ing been operated fully thirty years.
AS soon as the bodies were recov-
cred, a telephone message was sent TO
Coroner Sipe. who went to the scene
to make an investigation.

SAVAGE LION NEAR GOLDEN.
Denver Sports Have Narrow Escape
t in Fight with Wild Animals.

Denver.-"Never in my life did
have such a thrilling adventure with
a bear as had last Friday about thirty
miles northwest of CebalIa, in Gun
nison county-whew! 1t was a hot
fight"
This was the way G.. Gordon Pickett
OF the Tritch Hardware Company
started his story OF the biggest bear
fight OF the season. He and Harry
Carpenter, with J. ]. Carpenters fine
started out from Cebella.
But to continue with Mr. Pickett's
tale: "The dogs jumped a good sized
black bear along about o'clock. We
followed him something like three
miles and took long shot a. him,
wounding him in the right foreleg.
We lost sight of him for awhile and
then the dogs got next to him again.
This time they had him cornered on
the edge of a big bluff, at least 100
feet high.
1T seems that the wound I had
given him made the bear crazy mad.
He nailed two of the dogs. one after
the other and crunched their necks
like SO many soda crackers. He
jumped down into a cleft of rock,
where there was little platform about
twelve feet square, and beyond that
the precipice.
THE dogs went after him and he
went after them good and proper. He
had already killed Two and it looked
as If he was going to finish the entire
10 n dogs
| jumped down onto the little bench,
but not until he had lunged at one of
the best dogs and cuffed him clear
over the cliff.
"Of course, that finished that dog,
and the bear turned. He wasn't five
feet from me when / tore the top of
his head off with a quick shot from
my rifle. He didn't exactly have me
Fbuffaloed,' but 1 think l never in all
my twenty-five years hunting expert
erce came SO near being seriously rat
tied. The dogs killed were among the
best fighters in the pack"
Another big fight with wild game is
promised as soon as Charles F..
Hoeckel of Denver returns from trip
to the northern part of the state and
gets his fine pack of Russian wolf
hounds on the trail of an immense
mountain lion which is destroying
sheep and even young calves on the
ranches on the Denver side of the
great plateau near Golden, where the
lion has his lair.
The beast is said to have held a
number of farmers ut bay on two or
three occasions and has invariably
made his escape. A big lion hunt will
be organized. The animal has COM
mitted his worst depredations at points
scarcely more than nine miles distant
from Denver

Here Is Home Rule!

Mellette, S. D.-The husbands and
fathers of Mellette have arisen in re-
volt against the game of bridge whist
and have passed an ordinance making
1t a misdemeanor for any woman to
play the game, imposing punishment
of from $50 to 500 fine and several
days in jail.
The men declare their women folk
are so infatuated with bridge that they
are neglecting their house hold duties.
Mothers have even sighted their ba-
bies to play bridge, and their husbands
receive no attention at all. The women
are angry over the passage of the Or
dinance. They say they have as much
right to pass the time playing bridge
whist as the men have to play poker.
The town marshal so feared the wrath
of the women that he resigned.

Are They Jobblns Ben e.r

Denver.-Willam c. Blair, chief
clerk of the House of Representatives.
is standing pat on his record of the
passage of the Juvenile Court bill.
which record does not agree with that
of the Senate with respect to two Sen
ate amendments. His journal shows
that the amendments in question were
not adopted by the House.
In the Sunday Post, over the sigma
ture of b. B. Lindsey, notice the fol
lowing statement concerning House
Bill No. 1872, considered and passed by
both houses of the Sixteenth Assembly
with particular reference to the amend.
ment which is part Of the enrolled
bill. but which does not appear in the
House journal" said Mr.. Blair to-day.
"Some of the Senate officials have
informed me that as matter of fact
the amendment was transmitted to the
House. but If 1t was the chief clerk of
the House neglected to publish it in
the journal of the House.
1T Is n fact, as appears from the
records. that the amendment was sent
to the House by the Senate and en-.
rolled in the House bill by the House
enrolment committee, but why the
clerk did not report 1t in the journal is
difficult to understand"
There can be and there is only one
reason for the amendment not appear.
ing in the House journal: The message
from the Senate notifying the House
that the bill had passed the Senate
with certain amendments did not, does
not-and from the nature OF the con
struction Of the communication. never
did and could not-contain the amend
ment referred to and which Is claimed
by some to nave passed the Senate.
The records Of the House of Repre-.
sentatives of the Sixteenth Assembly
concerning House Bill No. 1872 are alb.
solutely correct, and they are correct
| on every other bill. matter and thing
considered and acted upon by It."

Life imprisonment for Maynard.

Alliance, Neb.-The jury in the case
of Roy Maynard, a Denver boy who
shot and killed Roy b. Barnes, proprie-
tor OF the Burlington eating house,
here last winter, returned a verdict OF
life Imprisonment.
The trial began Friday afternoon
and the case was given to the jury Sat
urday night.
1t was alleged by Barnes that May
nard, who had been working for him,
tapped the till and he refused to pay
Maynard nine days wages which was
due him. After dlscharging Maynard,
Barnes attempted to eject him from the
place, whereupon Maynard opened tho
door and shot Barnes three times, Ia.
stantly killing him.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary. with the result Of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.
