his coat which hung on a nail in the
room and in the pocket of which the
following note was found: "The cause
of this rash act is ---- of the
Bismarck cafe. He alone is responsi.
BILE for this. Her mother is not to
blame for any Of our trouble. Nv
only regret is for her mother. But i,
must be done. Hoping everybody will

Will Pass the Senate.

Washington.-Sen Carter, head
of the subcommittee of the senate
postoffice committee which is in charge
of the postal savings bank legislation,

tee would report the bill to the main
committee in short time. He ex-
poets that within a week or so a fav-
orable report on the postal savings
bill will be made from the senate post
office committee, and Senator Carter
says he has no doubt the Senate will
pass bill on this subject.
Children are to be encouraged to
save their pennies by a feature of the
postal savings bank bill. The commit
tee has before it the bills introduced
by Senators Carter, Burkett and Knox,
the latter being the measure favored
by Postmaster General Meyer.

features Of all of the bills, and is draft
ing what it believes to be as near per-
feet measure as can be made.

DRUGGIST DIES
OF WOUNDS
OTTO FEHRlNGER OF COLORADO
SPRINGS KILLED BY UN-
KNOWN HOuDUP.
WAS ROBBED and SHOT
HAD FINGERED IN HOSPITAL
SINCE THE NINETEENTH
OF FEBRUARY.

Colorado Springs-As the result OF
being wounded by an unknown holdup,
who robbed him of his diamonds and
money, February 10Th, Otto Fehringer,
a prominent druggist of Colorado
Springs, died Wednesday at the st.
Francis hospital.
While it was known that Mr.. Feb
ringers wound was of a serious ma
ture, it was understood, from the state
ments made by the physicians and hos
pital people, that he was steadily i'm
proving and the announcement of his
death today came as a shock to his
friends.
A postmortem examination, con-
Quoted under orders from Coroner Law
revealed the fact that the bullet fired
by the assailant passed through Mr..
Fehringer's right lung, broke one of
his ribs, and glancing from that passed
almost through his liver, being found
embedded in the lower left side of that
organ.
Although wop4ded in so terrible a
manner, Mr.. Fehringer made desper-
ate fight for his life at the time of the
holdup and after fighting his assailant
for ten minutes, made his way to the
electric light plant half a mile away,
before collapsing.
The shooting occurred on a lonely
road north of this city. while the two
men were driving in a buggy, and dur
ing the fight which ensued Fehringer
was robbed of his watch and chain,
three diamonds, cash and checks to
the total value of 81 500.
The checks were afterward found by
detectives on the road leading back to
the city, where they were thrown by
the robber, who regained his horse
and rig at the ranch of NJ. l.. Teal and
drove back to town.
He left the horse tied and blanketed
near the police station, where it was
found an hour afterward, but no trace
of the murderer was discovered Sew
eral arrests followed, but none of the
suspects was identified by Mr.. Feb
ringer and all were released.
The case is surrounded by mystery,
owing to the fact that Fehringer was
unable to give any clue to his assail-
ant and said he did not know the name
of the man with whom he was riding
his story being that he was going out
TO the Garden ranch to take orders
for liquors from an alleged uncle of
the man who shot him.
That Otto Fehringer came to his
death from gunshot wound inflicted
with felohious intent, February 10th,
by party unknown, was the verdict
of the jury at the inquest held We'd
nesday night. A number of witnesses
were examined, but no new evidence
tending to clear the mystery was cited.

Hotel Convention Rates.

Denver.-A meeting of the Denver
Hotel and Restaurant Keepers Asso-
citation was held at the Adams hotel
Wednesday night. Among the princi-
pal subjects brought up was PROPOSE
ton to fix regular schedule of rates
to prevail in Denver all of the year
1909. where conventions are being en-
tertained in the city. The members of
this association have come to the CON
clusion that one of the chief requisites
for obtaining conventions of all kinds
is spreading abroad an assurance that
Denver is a city where the hotels and
restaurants do not attempt to rob the
public when big meetings select this
az their place OF meeting.

Beet Growers Favor Japanese.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Greeley Bays: Greeley and Eaton
farmers and, in fact, all interested in
the prosperity of this community, are
indignant over the action of certain
labor leaders in Colorado in declaring
against Japanese laborers and in or
ganizing yellow peril exclusion
league. The farmers contend that il
Japanese laborers are driven from the
state, one of the greatest industries of
northern Colorado, the growing of
sugar beets, will receive a serious
blow. They say the Japanese have
proven the most efficient and satisfac-
tory help that can be obtained for
thinning and harvesting the crop.

Important Oil Strikes.

Florence, Colo. - Two new strikes
have been made by the United Oil Com
pany which have much bearing on the
life of the oil district here, assuring
that it is good for twenty to twenty
five years, at least. The biggest
strike is in well No. $50,
which has been sunk to a depth of
$500 feet and the oil is standing at the
1,000-foot level. Field Supt. Johnston
says the well will prove to be 100 bar
rels daily capacity at the lowest esti-
mate The strike is in the Williams
burg district, and it is believed that a
lake of oil has been tapped. This dis
trict has been worked to the 1,7O0-foot
level, but at this level only streaks of
oil were found. Machinery is soon to
be installed and the well will be
thoroughly tested. Many oil men be-
lieve the well will pump 200 barrels
daily.
The other strike was made in well
No. 37S, near the old Rocky Mountain
smelter plan. This well is not so deep,
but it is believed it will yield 100 bar
rels a day.

PRESIDENTS ACT APPROVED.
Committee Finds That Discharge of
Negro Troops Was Justified.

Washington. = Reports from the
committee on military affairs were pre-
sented to the Senate Wednesday in re-
gard to the investigation of the affray
at Brownsville, Texas, which resulted
in the discharge without honor of three
companies of negro soldiers Of the
Twenty-fifth infantry.
At the same time a message was re-
ceived from the President calling at
tention to the fact that the testimony
taken by the committee sustains his
position in discharging the negro SOL
diers. He recommends extension of
the time for re-enlistment of the dis
charged men who might be found not
to fall within the terms of the order
There were four reports from the
committee. the majority being signed
by Senators Warren, Lodge, Warner,
Dupont, Taliaferro, Foster Overman,
Frazier and McCreary A minority re-
port was signed by Senators Foraker,
Scott, Bulkeley and Hemenway. The
majority report found as follows:
THAT in the opinion of the commit
tee the shooting was done by soldiers
belonging to the Twenty-fifth infantry;
that the testimony fails to identify the
particular soldier or soldiers who par
ticipated."
1t is stated that there is considera-
BILE contradiction in the testimony, but
that, taken as a whole and reconciling
it wherever possible, it proves the case
outlined in the majority's decision.
The principal minority report was
presented by Senator Scott and takes
the position that it has been impossi-
BILE to ascertain who did the shooting
and makes the recommendation that
the negro soldiers be restored.
In addition to this minority report,
Senators Foraker and Bulkeley turned
in supplemental report, which was
represented by Senator Foraker Sena-
tor Foraker's report declares that the
testimony of the witnesses against the
soldiers is not reliable and that no mo-
tive for their alleged connection with
the affray had been shown.
A supplemental report signed by Sen
ators Warren, Lodge, Warner and Du-
pont declares that the evidence shows
that the assault was perpetrated by
members OF the battalion, but that it is
reasonable to believe that all of the sol
diers were not concerned.
They recommend that it would be
justice to restore to all of the inno-
cent men the rights and privileges
which had accrued to them by reason
of their previous service in the army
A bill is presented authorizing the Pres
ident within one year after the pas
sage of the act. to authorize the enlist
ment of any of the men whom he may
be satisfied had no connection with
the shooting.

Bankers Appeal for Pardon.

Denver-The hearing before the
State Board of Pardons Tuesday after
noon upon the application for pardon
on behalf Of Leonard B. Imboden and
James A. Hill, convicted in connection
with the failure of the Denver Saw
ings bank and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary some two years ago, was held
Tuesday.
The case on behalf of Messrs limbo
den and Hill was opened by Attorney
Hersey, who presented a lengthy brief
and large bundle of documents on be-
half of his clients. Among the latter
was letter under date of Nov last
from Judge Peter l.. Palmer, who pre-
sided at the trial of Messrs. Imboden
and Hill, in which he stated that, in
view of subsequent developments
which appeared to show that the bank
was solvent at the time it was placed
in the hands of receiver, he was of
the opinion that the ends of justice had
been served by the two years impris-
onment which the petitioners had en-
dured, and that they had been ade-
quately punished for any crime which
they may have committed.
Four members of the jury that con-
victed the bankers joined in recon-
mendatiol for clemency. Three hun
dred of the depositors in the defunct
bank have signed petition asking for
mercy for the two bankers. These
were supplemented by a Joint letter
from Sheriff ]. b. Farr of Huerfano
county, Charles Hayden, deputy dis
trict attorney for the Twelfth Judicial
district; Henry Blicthalcn county
Judge; w. II. Freeland, deputy clerk
of the District Court, and several ola,
ers connected with the courts at Wal
senburg.
In opposition to these Attorney Karl
C. Schuyler, who represented Receiver
Guy lie Roy Stevick before the legisla-
tive committee, wanted to know what
had become of the money Imboden and
Hill secured from the bank
And where is the money!" asked
Schuyler Have they given the slight
est explanation what became of the
money? II Imboden and Hill will ex-
plain the whereabouts of $455, 900 and
produce the cash, the corporation
which has bought the assets-and
speak with authority-will step aside
and the money can be used to rem-
burse depositors Eight thousand men,
women and children are interested in
this matter, and know that the board
will give 1t a fair and impartial consid-
Grafton"
Attorney Hersey closed the arglI-
ment for the petitioners and the board
went into private session, it being an
nounced that decision would not be
reached for some time-probably sew
eral days.
