TREASURY CHAMP
IN DEPARTMENTAL
Money Counters Take De-
Gliding Game From
PoStoffCe.

Treasury established a clear title to
c-ampion Of the Departmental League
for the season Of 1907. by defeating Post
office, It's nearest rival for pennant hon
ors, by 4 to p.
Anticipating one Of the best games OF
the season, a large crowd ~journeyed to
National Park to see the leaders hook
UP in battle. and il was not disappoint-
ed The playing was marked by fast,
snappy work. only two errers marring
the work Of the teams. Both OF these
misplays resulted disastrously for the
mai handlers. Kraft's wild throw and
Fenton's failure TO handle a grounder
gave the money counters a pair of runs
Johnny Haring and Donaldson were
sent In TO do the pitching FOR their re
spective teams. They were hit rather
freely. but were effective with men OH
bases. O'Neill was the individual star.
The Treasury backstop whaied out a
triple and single. and cleanly handled
nine chances afeld. His regging TO
bases was so effective that he turned
three Of the opposing players back 70
the bench. Bieiask, Fulcher. and Orri-
son also pulled OF neat plays in the
field.
Postoffice took the lead in the initial
sf0oANus OAIA1Vn leu Oh WIKI a MT over
short and pilfered second. Fenton hit
one through Mccarthy and Orrison
scored. Treasury evened matters in the
succeeding inning. when O'Nell hit one
TO right that landed him on third. and
came home on Bielaski's boost TO the
outfield. In the fourth. both scored.
Fenton's error gave O'NeH a life, and
the catcher went to second on a wild
pitch, completing the circuit on McCar-
thy's singing single. HerrIng's triple
and P~ennington's out gave P~ostofice its
tally.
Treasury forged ahead I'm the fifth.
Hester was hit by a pitched ball, and
went TO third on pOnaldSon's single.
Kraft tried to catch him off third. but
the ball hit him and he came home.
Bielaskis triple and Hester's single pro-
duced the last run OF the game for
Treasury in the seventh

cided that he was or soon would be in
Colorado Springs.
The strangest part of the whole
story is feature which reads like a
fairy tale but which is nevertheless
true to the letter. is this: At a late
house last night Chief McCafferty was
called by toll line. who informed him
that Colorado Springs wanted him.
When the connections were made on
the telephone wires, voice said to
the chief that it was John W. Hartwell
somewhat anxious to know what the
chief wanted of him. The chief. did not
say he wanted him, but asked Hart
we'll what made him think So The re-
ply was that he had just read in a
Colorado Springs evening paper that
the Pueblo police were picking up
strange negroes with the hope of Sc
curing John w. Hartwell. Further in
quiry from the Pueblo officer resulted
in the wife OF the man coming to the
plOne ana TedIl0S the artlCIe 10 tne
chief. Mr.. McCanerty told Hartwell
he would inquire what the article
meant and call him up il he learned
anything new, this morning at 8
O'Clock. Before hanging up he took
Hartwell's address, No. 326 Cone jos
street
Within the next minute the Colorado
Springs police were notified by Chief
McCafferty TO arrest Hartwell as
quickly as possible. Later came the
word from the officers there that they
had been to the house and were told
that Hartwell was there last Friday
but had gone away. Then. the wires
got warm, the Pueblo officer putting
the push on the Little Lunnon' Off
GERS as they experienced before. and
the result was that the word came this
afternoon that the man was at last
behind the bars. He was brought to
Pueblo last evening.

TREASURER BENT HEARS OF

Denver. May 6.-State Treasurer
Bent is becoming more and more in

ment of correct weights and measures
in this state. He has secured great
deal of data throughout the United
States. all of which tends oshow that
the practice of short weights and
short yardsticks is known all over the
country
In a report of an annual conference
of persons interested in weights and
measures which he received and which
was published last year, the following
surprising statement is made:
In number of the east side dis
iricts in New York city clerks in
small grocery stores and also in small
all What they get at the end of the
week is the amount they have cheated
the public out of, In other words. the
stock of meat Is carefully weighed by
the proprietor. then each clerk. as he
makes sale, hands in a slip with the
weight and the price to the cashier. In
the evening the slips for each clerk
are added up. Fro mthe total weight
is deducted the original weight OF the
meat and the excess is the profit of the
clerk. The result is that the clerk al
ways throws his meat on the scales
and reads 1t as it reaches the bottom
