Tame Beaver in Canada.

In Manitoba the beaver is prot ected
by law from either being shot or
trapped, and the protection results in
increase. Colonies of the animals can
now be found both on the Ochre and
Turtle rivers, to the east of Dauphin.
One colony has started building q
dam on the Ochre river at the railway
bridge near the village. So tame have
the animals become that it is a COM
mon thing for the residents to visit
the locality in the evening and watch
the industrious animals ct work. In
one or two cases the work OF the
beaver in dafnming the Turtle river
has proved loss to farmers in the
vicinity by their land being flooded
and the water overnowing It. The
matter was laid before the govern
ment in Winnipeg by parties interest
ed, and permission obtained to open
the dams. but not to molest the ami
malR As the beaver increases rapid
]y, the government Is likely to have
another problem on its hands to
solve before a great while.

sENk-c7 HAD DATES MIXED.
Why t'.s.ari Statesman Was Late
{, Cabinet Dinner.


Ex-senator Cockrell probably is the
only man in Washington who ever
kept President Roosevelt waiting at a
dinner. 1t was one of the cabinet
dinners that were given by the sec
retary Of the interior and Mrs Hitch
cock three years ago. The president
and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due
time, as dil all the other guests ex-
cept Senator CockreIl.
After q delay Of almost an hour
Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests 10
the dining.loom and dispatched a
messenger TO the residence OF Sena-
tor Cockrcll to make inquiries. Great
fear was felt that the Missourian had
started ana had fallen by the way, as
the day wassa cold and wintry one.
The fact was, however, that the SEN
ntor was sitting quietly at home when
the messenger got there, clad in his
dressing gown and slippers and con-
graduating himself that he could be
indoors. He had put the date of the
dinner in his calendar in large and
attractive handwriting, but had for
gotten 10 turn leaf and was, ac-
cordingly. day behind time No one
appreciated the joke more than did
the president, and the dinner that be-
gan in s1x-ety and apprehension end
ed in a big laugh at theNdear old SEN
ntor.-Denvtg Times.

LABOR ARBITRATION

The greatest need of the laboring man in
this country at this time is arbitration.
for this would enable him to secure the
shorter hours for which he contends and
would prevent the strikes which have
brought the writ of Injunction into usee
There is no more reason why the laboring
man should be left to enforce his con-
tentions by an idleness that throws the
burden upon himself and his family than
there would be for return to the wager
of battle as a means of settling lawsuits.
While improved machinery has increased
the number of workers ands raised the
grade of their employment. 1t has also
brought about conditions under which the
superintendent is so far removed from
the individual worker that the personal
relationship is greatly weakened Justice
must, therefore, be secured by resort to
some impartial court. 1t is not necessary
that the finding of the board shall be
binding upon the parties to the dispute.
If there is compulsory investigation at
the request of either party public opinion
may be relied upon to enforce the con-
clusion reached by the arbitrators.-W'l-
liam Jennings Bryan. In the Reader.

ICE TRUST CASE
READY FOR TRIAL
COMPANIES HAVE FIVE DAYS TO
FILE BRIEF
Prosecuting Attorney Blair Is of the
Opinion That Cartwright Anti
Trust Law vii Prove
Constitutional

Briefs for the prosecution<in the case
of the alleged ice trust now pending in
Judge Roses police court were handed in
yesterday by Deputy District Attorney
Frank Blair, who has charge of the pros
ecution. The ice companies, charged with
forming combination to raise the price
of ice in violation of the Cartwright anti
trust law, filed their briefs in the case
some time ago. Five days are now
allowed for the filing OF a counter brief,
and then the case will come up for trial,
if Judge Rose has returned from his va
cation trip by that time.
The Cartwright antitrust law is copied
verbatim from the Iowa trust law,
which, in turn, was copied from the
Texas trust law. The constitutionality
of the law, which is attacked by the at
torneys for the ice companies. has never
been tested in this state up to the pres
ent time. 1t has been tested in both
Iowa and Texas, however, and according
to Attorney Blair was found to be con-
stitutional in both states.
The cases bearing upon this point were
mentioned by Attorney Blair in his brief.
He is of the opinion the constitutionality
will stand in California as it has In Iowa
and rexas. The case will probably come
up some time next week.

MoToRMAN is ExoNERATED OF
BLAME FOR KILLING
NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
woMANs DEATH
Harris Turns White When Announce
ment Is Made of Finding of Jury.
Court Room Crowded with
Spectators

Not guilty was the verdict rendered by
the jury in the trial of Motorman John
Harris, charged with the killing of Miss
Gwendolyn Burrows, a passenger on the
Inflated car that leaped' the track at
Colorado street and Center avenue June
9, on the Eagle Rock line. The verdict
came in late yesterday afternoon after
the jury had been out only short time.
The courtroom was packed with people
interested in the trial, many of whom
were street car men and friends of the
defendant The accused man turned
white when it was announced that the
jury was ready with verdict and was
still pale as his friends crowded around
him with congratulations.
Harris maintained the accident was
due to his lack of familiarity with the
road while Superintendent Aiken said
he had violated a strict rule of the COM
pany by not slowing down for the curve.
The coroners jury held Harris and the
case was placed under Deputy District
Attorney Frank Blair for prosecution
Great difficulty was found in securing a
jury, many talesmen being dismissed af-
ter examination by the attorneys. Ad-
mittedly there was no malice in the
charge against the motorman.
Harris numerous acquaintances testify
that he is a good motorman. The friends
of Harris claim the accident was not due
to carelessness, but was the result of
inferior equipment and flooding the track
with OIL

READY TO TREAT
WITH FEDERATION
MAYOR SUGGESTS CONFERENCE
ON LIVE QUESTIONS
Liquor Licenses and Social Evil VIII
Be Discussed by Representa-
tive Men If Date Is
Agreed On

Mayor Harper announced last night
that he would be glad to meet a commit
tee of the Church federation, the minis
ters and others interested to discuss the
resolutions recently passed by the feder-
alton in regard to the social evil and the
liquor question.
These urge more drastic legislation by
the city authorities.
Some days ago set of resolutions from
the federation were laid on the mayor S
desk, mixed up with other accumulated
business, and in the absence of the
mayors secretary no official attention
was paid to them. No committee left
these resolutions and 1t was not apparent
whether any further advices would be
sent to the city's executive or not
The mayor waited, expecting to get
some formal notice, but instead publica-
tions were made which Mayor Harper
says were unfair.
The statement was printed that COM
mittees and delegations had called at
the city hall to take up the questions in
the resolutions, but no one has called.
The mayor says he is anxious to set
tie the social evil and the liquor question
to the best interests of the majority, but
so far has been unable to find any con-
siderable element agreeing on any one
remedy.
He has invited the council, the city at
torney's office and others to meet with
the federation or any other interested
body any time the date can be agreed on.
