Bernard X. Green, the we'll known
consulting engineer of Washington,
said the other day. in discussion of the
new Pennsylvania capitol, which he
helped to build:
"The trouble with every question is
that self-seeking enters into it. Were
there no self-seekers, the world would
be a very Utopia. But as it is--''

WHICH WAS HIT


That's What the Client Wanted to
Know Of His Lawyer.
Patrick Murphy, while passing down
fremont street, was hit on th<head by
a brick which fell from a building in
process of construction.
One of the first things he did after
being taken home and put to bed was
to send for a lawyer.
a few days later he received word to
call, as his lawyer had settled the
case.
He called and received five crisp
new 500 bills.
How much did you get?" he asked.
Two thousand dollars" answered
the lawyer.
1.-TWO thousand, and you give me
$500! Say, who got hit by that brick,
you or me?"

~ Resume of the Week,
Proceeding.

Washington, Jan. IA. - Allconten-
tions that the rae problem and poll
tics are not involved in the Browns
vile affair we're upset Saturday when
Senator Tillman uncorked the pitfalls
of his vituperation in an assault upon
President Roosevelt and a dissertat-
ton on the negro that was SO intern
perate hat 1t called forth a singing
rebuke from one of his Democratic
colleagues, Senator Patterson of Colo
RADIO.
In summary it may be said that Sen
ator Tillman charged the president
with exceeding his constitutional and
legal rights. with violating the funda-
mental principle of Jurisprudence that
innocent men should not be made to
suffer for the guilty, with being him
self primarily responsible for the
Brownsville riot because he sent the
negro troops there. and because he
had taught the negro to believe he is
the equal of the white, and finally with
having virtually been guilty of lynch
ing in the manner in which he had
dealt with the colored troopers.

BARN BURNED
LOSS A THOUSAND

The big ranch barn of w. /. Ham
mond. the well known rancher resid-
ing east of the city, was destroyed
by fire Sunday morning about one o.
clock.
All the contents of the barn went
up in smoke and the loss will aggre-
gate about 1000 dollars. Mr.. Ham
mond nor any member of his family
We're In the least aware that n fire
was raging In the barn, until arous-
ed by parties passing the place who
saw the flames within the barn and
went to the house to awaken Mr..
Hammond.
He did everything possible to save
the barn, but having no water sup
ply he could do little or nothing
There was not less than fifteen tons
of hay in the barn at the time of the
fire. two large tool chests contain
ing tools, an almost new moving ma
chine. five sets of harness and many
other things of considerable value in
the economy of farm life.
Mr.. Hammond had been In the
barn about nine O'Clock in the even
ing the barn caught fire. but he has
no recollection of lighting a match
or smelling smoke or anything that
would indicate fire. The contents of
the barn carried no Insurance. The
house had small amount of insur-
ance upon 1t, this being slightly
damaged.

JOHN ROACH sKIDoos


John Roach, who, until few days
ago was an honorable member OF
the chain gang made his escape this
morning about IL o'clock. John was
serving out ten days assignment on
the chain gang and was this morning
placed near the corner of Ute avenue
and South 9th street where he was
engaged in the work of cleaning the
cutters. He frequently went into
Williams blacksmith shop for water
to quench his thirst and 1t was while
In the shop that he espied n pair of
snips in easy reach on one of the
benches. He grabbed them and cut
the chain on the end of which was
a heavy iron ball that prevented
John from making his getaway while
the other end of the chain was attach
ed TO his right leg AS soon as he
was free of the ball and chain John
made remarkably fast run down
the alley in the rear of the shop and
at the rate he was going he will ar
rive in Denver at about 10:45 tonight
This was the second attempt that
John had made to escape from work
but the first time he was caubht and
brought back and the bail and chain
attached to him to prevent what he
finally accomplished.
No reward Is offered.

BOOSTER FOR
THE STATE FAIR
HERE YESTERDAY


Paul Wilson. of Pueblo. the presi.
ident of the State Fair association
was an arrival in the city on Sat
urday night from up the narrow
guage points. Mr.. Wilson came to
boost the state fair and he succeeded
admirably before the evening and
the Sabbath were over. Mr.. Wilson
states that when the premium list
was being made up for this year, II
was the judgment of the board OF di-
rectors the report being that there
was no fruit OF any consequence
either on the eastern or western slope
that the premium for counties be
eliminated for this year. So soon as
he found out that there was consider
able fruit Mr.. Wilson called the board
or directors together and added the
county premium again. He stated
yesterday to Sentinel reporter that
there was no intention of trying to
save money at the expense of this
premium, but If there were to be no
exhibits of fruits by counties. he
thought 1t would be simply extrava-
giant to add that much money to the
premium list
Yesterday Mr. Wilson was driven
about the country contiguous to this
city by A. c. Newton and he could
hardly believe that there was the
abundance of fruit that there is on
the trees.

AWAY FROM HOME.
BASE BALL BOYS
HAVE FINE TIME

The Grand Junction ball team met
defeat twice on Its trip to the Nor
mon capital. The Mormons defeat
ed the home team by a score of to l
and the boys were again defeated at
Ogden by score of 8 to 0.
1t is said that the home team was
very badly scared when confronting
the teams of the Mormon cities and
did not give Sandusky the support
he was entitled to have from the
rest OF the field. The weather was
also very disagreeable at both gam
es. making errors frequent on both
sides. Sandusky pitched a very ex-
cellent game of ball in both games,
striking out ten men in all.
The Salt Lakers had a one armed
pitcher by the name of Stevens. whose
curves the home team could not find
for any effective hits.
Hoodenpyle made the only run for
the home team in the fifth inning
against the Salt Lakers.
The boys had a most-deldghtful
time however. and are not at all
sorry they made the trip The scores
considering that the Salt Lake team
is sort of semi-professlonal team,
were relatively not bad.
In the Ogden game of ball. friends
of the club from this city who wit
messed the game, say that the um-
pire was distinctly unfair in the man
ner in which he called strikes and
balls. This they said was so appar-
ent that disheartened our boys.
Wilson started to pitch this game
and pitched the first five innings.
He struck out one or two in that time
and few hits were made from him.
He was little wild and seven men
were sent to bases on halls or the
seven men sent to the bases on balls
alone. five of them scored.
Sandusky pitched the last four In
nings.
Manager Chandler states that the
managements of the two teams at
Salt Lake and Ogden treated them
royalty. At Salt Lake there was a
small crowd. but at Ogden there was
a large crowd.

100000 FIRE
SATURDAY NIGHT

Fire caused loss of $4,000 in the
building at 314-31S Main street Sat
urday night about O'Clock occupied
by j. Berger and the Star Bakery
Mr.. Berger had finished cleaning a
pair of trousers with gasoline and
had hung them up to become thor
oughly dry. They had been there for
about a minute when suddenly they
sprang into flames. 1t took but a
short time for the fire to spread to
other clothing that was hanging up
on the walls and on the counters. Mr.
Berger made an effort to extinguish
the flames and in doing so was bad
ly burned about the head and should
ers, IL was reported today that while
his injuries are painful they will have
no serious results.
The Star bakery was also gut
ted by the flames and the total loss
on the two buildings is estimated
at about $4,000 with no insurance.
Mr.. Berger had been in his new
place OF business but a short time
and the loss is keenly felt by him as
he suffered greatly as the result OF
a fire which destroyed his stock of
goods short time ago. The Star
bakery is doing business as IL no
thing had happened and will have
the interior of their store looking as
1t did before the fire in very short
time. The firemen did excellent work
in extingulshing the flames which had
gained great headway when they ar

NEW DESIGNS

ment that new designs for United

tions will be affected, the Eagle the
double Eagle and the bronze cent
A radical change is made in the de-
Sign of the cent, and though the Ind
ian head will be retained II Will bear
little resemblance to the old one, and
Is expected to be more characteris-
tic of the head of the American Ind
ian, with real head dress instead of
the present design. The present Ind
ian head Is really a Caucasian type,
the face having been posed for by
the little daughter of James NJ Long
acre, the engraver of the PhIladel-
pria mint, who designed the present
penny in 1858.
On the diverse of the eagle, and
double eagle the head OF Liberty is
retained In idealized form. On the
reverse of the twenty dollar gold
piece which was also designed by
Mr.. Longacre in 1919, is an erect
eagle, but of new design.
More radical changes are noted in
the design for the ten-dollar coin.
While the diverse still shows the
idealistlc head of Liberty. on the
reverse is the flying eagle closely
nodded after the dollars and half
dollars of 1896 and 1888. Christian
