Those who made the acli will not announce the result of their work, but members of the new legislature. especially in the house or representatives. are free to admit that there will b2 something doing along this line. That bill for statewide pro hibition will be introduced in the next general assembly is certain and that it's friends will make an especially hard fight for tho passage of this bill is also true. A good stiff fight is looked for in this matter.
 A bill is also being drawn to re- peal the Amis bill, which put rae ing out of business in Hot Springs Who is drawing this bill is not known. yet it is cer- tain that it is practically ready to be presented to the legislature at this time, should special SOS sion be called.

Hot Springs.

 The robbers after taking the clubs bank roll. locked the in- mates in a small room and fled.
 It is reported that the robbers secured between SS,OO0 and S10.- GOO, but as the proprtctors of the gambling house. who were sup posed not to be operating, rciuS- ed to make a statement. which would incriminate them. the exact amount cannot be learned.
 The game was progressing quietly at an early hour, with a number of guests from the large hotels grouped around the wheels and tables. upon which were stacked large amounts of money.
 Suddenly the rear windows, which opened on the mountain side, were forced open and four masked men dashed in
 They placed the muZzles of their six shooters to the heads Of the attaches of the club and forced all present to line up with their faces to the wall.

REFUSED TO ANSWER.
i, c,.,;vovant Has No Desire to Incrimi- nafe Ballot Box Suffers.

..ao Rock April 23 Henry Worts manager of Miss Ruth rnoy 2, who is at the Capital thee .or ua.' refused to allow Miss Grey .e'' answer question asked by U aamher of the audience Tues aor niqht. upon the ground that @ ho had been threatened at Hot Snrinrs with death, il he allow !, ed Miss Grey to answer the ques- tion. .
 The representative of the naily Bulletin, the reform pa nor M at Hot Springs. asked the question: .. .Who is responsible for the 4rrfino of the ballot boxes m tbe recent race for sherlit Tn Gar.hnd county u.
 Miss Grey had declhred the question and was proceeding to answer it when Manager Marks, who had by that time Sreaciled tbe side of the qucstioner,calied out
 aNliss Grey do not answer that question!
 ue then turned to the gentl' man and said
 q think. sir, that you are en- titlrd to an explanation. WhilH in Hot Springs last week, Mr. P a Schaeffer. editor of the naily Bulletin. asked that Nis~ Grey answer that same question I said she could answer 1t In some manner. by the time a;'- rived at my hotel it had become known and was handed a let ter within n few minutes adNlS- inr me not to let Miss Grey an swer the question, unless de sired to leave Hot Springs m a box. Not desiring to investigat t' the mysteries of the unknoWn n world at that time | refused to let Miss Grey answer the qucs- ton. and for the same reason l must now refuse to allow her to answer it
 The incident occasioned great excitement fn the theater. and attracted more attention than had Miss Grey been allowed to continue her answer of the Qucs- tion It appears that Mir. Marks had agreed to allow Miss Grey to answer the question in Hot Springs not thinking that any one could or would object to It. But for some reason there was opposition, and l decided to refuse to allow it answered The light in Hot Springs has been bltter,an l did not care to add further fuel to the flame" said Nr. Marks.

tics are Of June 80, 1904. when the
total population Of the country was
estimated to be 81,301,S48. At that
time the country had 1887 penal In
civic prisons. 81 state prisons and
state and county penitentiaries, IA
reformatories for adults, II municipal
prisons and warehouses;. and 1,1S1
county jails. At the date named these
various prisons contained s1,772 in
mates. an average of 1905 per 100,-
900 Of population. The average seems
appallingly large, but it shows an
improvement over 1890, when 1t was
1915 per 100000 of population.
There is some consolation in the
fact that appalling as the aggregate OF
crime appears, the percentage OF GRIM
inals to population is not increasing.
This might be due to remfssness in
the enforcement of law, but we are at
least permitted to hope that Is not the
case, the moral trend of the times be-
ing toward stricter instead of laxer
enforcement of law.
1t appears that the total number Of
prison inmates on June 30, 1904, IT,
269, or 94h per cent, were males. and
4,5O3, or 5 n per cent. were females
AS there Is no great difference in the
number of males and females in the
country, the figures indicate clearly
that crime Is much more prevalent
among men than among women.
On June 80. 1904, there were, in
the United States, ninety-three insti-
tutions for Juvenile delinquents be-
tween the ages of seven and twenty
one years. These Institutions includ-
ed reformatories. reform schools,
truant schools. in fact, all kinds of
prisons, places OF detention, and re-
ligious agencies for juvenile delin-
quents. At the date named they con-
tanned 23,034 inmates, of whom 2,566
were in the Catholic protectory at
Westchester, n. Y.
The number of inmates In all kinds
of institutions for juvenile delinQuents
increased from 14.S46. on June 1.
1890. to 25.034, on June 80. 1904. This
was q gain of s,1ss, or $50 per cent.
On its face, this is not ENCOURAGING,
though 1t may be due to the fact that
there were more institutions for
Juvenile delinquents In 1904 than
there were in 1900, and more activity
in arresting and confining them.-In-

ber of the senate In fact. his excel
lent service during one term of this
august body was the principal reason
for his election to the second highest
place in all the land. On the other
hand. Senator Hemenway is valued
member of the senate and has been a
consistent and enthusiastic supporter
of the vice president in his presidential
ambitions. 1t might .,e construed as
base ingratitude were Mr.. Fairbanks to
be considered a candidate for Senator
Hemenway's seat. To date he has given
no intimation Of any such desire, and
it is entirely possible that he harbors
no. such purpose, but it would not be
the farthest from political possibilities
to see the result of the Chicago con-
vention apparent in a mighty interest
ing situation involving the Indiana SEN
atorship. which is to become vacant at
the same tine that Indiana's vice presl-
dent steps down and out.
It has been frequently suggested that
Mr.. Fairbanks will be asked to occupy
a prominent position In the next Re
publican cabinet should the Republi-
can presidential ticket succeed. The
place which most harmoniZes with his
demonstrated ability and dignity as a
statesman and diplomat would be the
portfolio of state. And 1t would not
be the greatest of political surprises
to see the eminent gentleman from In

ton.

appeal to the Well Informed in every

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why It is the best of personal and family
laxatives Is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
uarts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection

Hemenway succeeded Vice President
Fairbanks in the upper house OF con-

expires March 3, 1909. The term of
Vice President Fairbanks, whose re-

mark.
Despite a we'll advertised reserve. 1t
must be admitted that Mr.. Fairbanks
likes public life. His elimination from
the presidency and his voluntary re-

leaves him at present without a politi-
cal status. In view Of the fact that he

SHORT MORNING SESSION.
Special to The Sentinel.)

tSpeclal 10 me oeiiliuei-J
Pueblo, Sept. 1O.-This morning
at ten O'Clock there were not many
delegates in the convention hall as 1t
was known that the convention
would get a late start owing to the
long and tiresome night session and
owing to the fact that the committees
appointed by the Patterson and
Speer managers TO confer as to
state ticket had not been able to
reach an agreement on a ticket TO be
submitted to the convention.
1T was eleven o'clock the conven-
ton was called to order by Chair
man Adams and then an adjournment
was taken until two O'Clock as the
conference committee was not ready
to report.
All morning there have been all
kinds of reports in circulation as to
who would be Tie nominees on the
state tickets. One moment one man s
chances would be up and the next
moment that mans chances would
appear to be down and gone.
The long drawn out convention has
tired out many of the delegates and
today quite few left for their ZONES
without waiting for the nominations
to be made.

HOW MESA COUNTY VOTED.
Especial to The sentinel.l

Pueblo, Sept. 10.-The first test
last night as to the relative strength
of the Speer and Patterson factions
came when the vote on the accept
ance or rejection of the minority re-
port of the committee on credentials
was taken, this report being favor
able to Patterson. .
The vote stood 3S5 for the report
and asa against accepting the min
ority report, thus it was beaten by
majority of 80.
Mesa county's delegation cast II
votes for the minority or patterson
report and o votes against il. And in
the same manner the Mesa county
delegation divided its vote on the
acceptance of the majority vote
w..ich was adopted and which was
favorable to Speer.
The fourteen Patterson men on
the Mesa county delegation, headed
by .ames w. BuclSlin. were among
the bitterest adhcrents of Patterson
and their action in many matters
wen, long way toward hurting the
candidacy of Samuel n. Wheeler, of
Grand junction for supreme court
justice.
Ii is known that at least majority
of the Patterson men on the Mesa
county delegation did nothing what
ever to further Mr. Wheeler's candi-
dacy and it is also known that not a
few Of them quietly and in an under
handed manner did what they could
against the candidacy of the Mesa
county man.
