Biz Five Explains

Owing to complications of the litiga-
tion launched by DR.. Suffa, and the
many legal technicalities with which
the Big Five has had to contend it would
be difficult for layman to explain the
present status of the long drawn out
controversy. The following letter of
explanation from President Daniels is
reproduced and will throw official light
on the subject:
Denver, February 10, 1908.
Editor, Siftings-News,
Dear Sir:-The report published
by you of the Supreme Court decision
in Suffa vs.. The Big Five Tunnel Co.,
ct al, is correct but the suit itself was
q gross Misrepresentation Of facts and
l would be very glad if you will kind
ly favor me with correct statement.
The allegation in the petition of DR..
Suffa for q writ of mandamus, that he
had been refused permission to examine
the books of the Big Five companies,
as . gross misstatement; such per-
mission has never been refused but
on the contrary has always
been given to both DR.. SufFa and his
attorneys whenever asked. Permission
to copy the names and addresses of all
the stockholders was refused and his
suit was an effort to get such names
and addresses and not for permis-
sion to examine his books.
Thanking you in advance ! am,
Yours Very Truly,
VIM. P. DANIELS.

Stick-To-ltivenees,

About the most hopeless case l
ever dealt with" said the singing
teacher is a little Jap that's coming
to me to learn to sing. He hasn't any
voice. He can't even produce a single
tone that wouldn't disgrace the cat
on the back fence. l told him he was
wasting his time and his money, but
he still kept on coming. Finally the
other day said to him: My friend,
you are paying me six dollars a week
for those two lessons. I'll pay you
six dollars a week II youll go to some
other teacher Knowing that the
Japs are thrifty race thought that
would fix him. Not at all This
morning. prompt to the hour, In he
walks. They say that Washington
won the War for Independence be-
cause he didn't know when he was
beaten. It's easy to see why the Japs
won that last scrap"

Open Air for Young consumptives

Open All Tor Young Consumpt'vee.
Under the auspices of the Alland
Institution for Consumptives an inter
esting experiment was made at Vienna
during the summer in open-air treat
ment for young children infected with
tuberculosis. Forty-eight little pa
tients whose ages ranged between
four and 13 years were treated for five
months with very gratifying results.
At the end Of this time 40 children
were sent home apparently quite
cured, six showed very slight traces
OF the disease and only two were In
about the same condition a. when
they entered, while their general
health was better.
These last eight cases had already
reached a serious stage when the
treatment began. All the children
had gained In weight from two TO Is
pounds. The experiment will be con.
tinued with more patients next year.

T Petition In Bankruptcy

4IdusSODtiueual IN oAHhTuptNN
Many stockholders of the Transcon-
tinental Transportation and Mining
Mining company (which lsst year was
doing such important work in boring
through the Argentine Pass, Colorado,
tunnel which, as reported officially
from the London Office, had quite
number of rich veins), will be wonder
ing how the present stagnation has
been brought about. Capital is lack
ing to prosecute the work, although we
understand q definite proposition was
made in November to provide the funds
to finish the tunnel; but serious con-
fiicting opinions among the authorities
here and on the other side caused this
positive proposition to be ignored. Un-
fortunately. fundamental differences
have arisen between the English and
American authorities, which have al
ready resulted in litigation and an ap-
plication on the other side for q receiv-
-ership-a strange contrast to the Off
cial account Of this great enterprise,
AHA SuC PLlSS Va SAC Su0A co iAoI
year. Our Colorado advices show that
for long time the important work of
this great tunnel was proceeding so
satisfactorily, and the anticipations of
finishing it within reasonable time
caused great mining activity in that
section of the state, and many claims
were taken up in consequence by min
ing operators. But, as the Guide
showed exclusively. there was an at
tempt at deal last year between the
Transcontnental and Waldorf Mining
and Milling Co. of which Mr.. Henry P.
Lowe, of Denver, was the representa-
tive, and who, it may be added, is also
the managing director of the Anglo
Colorado enterprise, the Frontenac Syn
dicate. On the one hand, whilst we
knew of serious negotiations between
the parties we were informed that the
Transcontnental and Waldorf amalga-
nation was only talk" and on the
other, it was said there was deliber-
attempt to hang the Waldorf round the
neck of the Tnanscontinental company
which was so we'll started little over
a year since. The Waldorf, according
to Colorado dispatches, has since closed
down, instead Of making the great
profits which were predicted by Messrs.
Lowe and Wilcox. There is great re-
luctance on this side to letting in the
light as to the real state Of affairs, but
we believe it is so serious as to have
stopped anyway for the time being the
promotion Of the larger Anglo Colorado
company which was to have returned
enormous profits to the Syndicate, and
for which its directors visited the other
side in the late autumn in order to pre-
pare for forming this company before
the end of 1907. However that may be,
the state, financially and otherwise, of
the Transcontinental just now appears
to be very critical.
We understand that but for this, as
we do not hesitate to say, unnecessary
quarrel, the Transcontinental could have
been easily financed and the work pro-
ceeded with, on the lines of the offer
made to the directors to finance and
finish the tunnel, but which we are in
formed, they ignored. This will, we
are afraid, affect somewhat seriously,
some here who are connected with
other Anglo Colorado mining enterprises

plosion have been received, and It's
cause Is unknown.

A later dispatch concerning the
explosion, received here, says that
nearly 200 miners are entombed in
the mine. and that probably all Of
them are burned to death as a re-
suit of the explosion. A large num-
Der Of men ever since the explosion
occurred have been working hard
with view OF rescurIng the men,
but all rescue work had to be
abandoned this forenoon because of
the fire In the mine. Six bodies have
been recovered. The exact cause OF

but II is presumed that II was caused
By coal dust.

CHICAGO WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP
Score in Today's Game, Chicago 2;
Detroit 0

DETROIT. Mich. Oct. 1.-THE
Cubs won the worlds championship
today when they defeated the Tigers
this afternoon In the fourth game of
the series. the score standing 2 to O..
The Tigers ever since the loss OF
yesterdays game have been in a
gloomy state. and were not In high
spirits today when they entered the
field to play their fourth game. Cap
tain Jennings realized that the loss
OF yesterdays game and those pre-
ceding could be attributed to no other
cause than the superior playing Of
the Cubs, and he decided to rely ON
Donovan the crack pitcher OF the AM
erican legue TO save the Tigers from
defeat, but the game as played by
the Cubs was too hard and fast, and
when It was concluded all they had to
their credit was large cipher. Over
alls twirled the ball for the Cubs. and
did admirable work from the begin
ming to the end OF the game.
The game was a close and hard
fought battle and at the end OF the
first inning neither team had scored.
A repetition of the first was given in
the second, third and fourth. and then
Chicago scored in the flfth. Tinker
sent high one which fell into the
arms Of o'Leary. Killing went to Sec
ond on a sacrifice on the part OF
overalls Speckard walked, and
Killing scored on Evers' single, and
then speckard went to third and
Evers to second. o'Leary threw out
Schultz, and the inning closed with
one run for Chicago.
The sixth inning closed without
either team making score. but be-
fore the end OF the ninth had been
reached the Cubs had succeeded in
placing another score to their credit.
but the Tigers had failed to make
a run, and the championship game
closed with score Ct to 0.

sentiment was overwhelming. He
was informed that in the city Of spo-
kane $4,000 of republican money
at to / on Taft has gone begging
for several weeks.
why, any man Is q fool to bet
on Taft at to ] IL there Is any
such man. said Mr.. Williams rather
emphatically.
What effect do you thing the re-
cent Hearst disclosures have had on
the campaign?" he was asked. "They
have done no harm to the democratic
cause, but they have lost Taft
tens OF thousands OF voters, because
they have been the cause OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt butting into the cam
paign. Even republicans have re-
sented the action Of the president. /
have met thousands of them who do.
Hearst did no harm to Haskell. But
Roosevelt did incalculable harm to
Taft by using his high ONCE to at
tack a man reputation when there
was no proof to show that the charg-
es were well founded. There was
no proof against Haskell, but Roose-
yelt jumped into the arena. took it
for granted the charges were true
and iiayed Haskell.
Says Hearst Cuts No Figure.
ut was a nasty thing to do. 1t
is a grave violation OF the proprieties
for the president OF the United States
to get down into the gutter. As for
Hearst and his party, they will cut
no figure in this campaign. Many
are turning ont to her Hearst speak,
but It is only to find out what scan
dial he is going to air next.
"Only this morning was informed
of conditions existing In a certain
precinct in this state where there are
about 21a voters. Four years ago
Parker got 10 votes in this precinct
and eight years ago Bryan received
20 votes. A poll Of this precinct was
recently taken and 81 announced
their intention of supporting Bryan
this year. This will give you an
idea of the conditions existing in
Washington and of the tremendous
reversal of sentiment in favor of
Bryan.
There is no question but New
York will go democratic. Ohio will
also go democratic. and now every
body is conceding Indiana will give
Bryan big majority.
my 25 years of political expert
ence will all go for naught If Taft
is not swept down to defeat this year
as badly as Parker was four years
ago."
