WOULDN'T FEED ANIMALS.
Valet to Princess Parlaghy Goes on
q Strike

NEW YORK. August 2l.-The story OF
Il man in waiting TO a princess, who
struck at the beginning of an ocean voy
age on the ground that he was a valet
and not an. animal trainer was told by
the officers of the Hamburg-Amer
line steamer Deutschland. in yesterday.
On the eastern voyage the artist princess
Lwoff Parlaghy sailed with her menage
tribulation The first man in waiting was
a Greek, who entered the princess en-
ploy just before the voyage began. He
appeared the first day at meals i'm a coat
of scarlet and stood behind his mistress
chair and directed the serving of the
food. The next day he was not there and
il was noised around that he was on
strike because he had been made to feed
the pelican the alligator. the monkey.
the snakes and the other pets of the prin-
cess.
This disregard of her commands so dis
pleased the princess that she issued an
edict banishing the striker from the cabin
to the stee-ayc He refused To go. Capt.
kempf was appealed to. bu: lie laughed
and said that as the mans fare had been
paid first class he had no authority to
shift HIM to another class.
In great wrath the princess command
ed her suite TO bring down her pets and
house them i'm the room of the unwilling
man in waiting. This would all have been
very good. as the Greek was quite willing
to give his room up to the snakes, but
unfortunately fer the success of the prin
cess plan the captain heard of the trans
fer OF the menagerie. lie declared the
company did not contract TO carry a zoo
logical collection as first class. so they
were carried back to the cage provided
for them. The Greek occupied his cabin
the remainder of the journey and the
passengers took up a collection to assist
him when once on land.

PRISONERS SET FREE
ILLEGALITY OF CoURTS-MAR-
TIAL BASIS FOR RELEASE.

An order was issued today by the War
Department releasing from confinement
twenty-one enlisted men of the Cuban
Army of Pacifcation. convicted by courts
martial for various attractions of the
army regulations in Cuba. They are now
I'm confinement at Fort Jay. New York.
The order states that they were tried by
courts-martal Illegally constituted" and
their sentences therefore are declared void
and imperative; hence, their release from
imprisonment.
The proceeding is SO unusual that it
aroused comment in army circles. The
order was only one of several of a SINH
lar kind recently ISSUED by the depart
ment and it was marveled that many
illegally constituted courts-martial should
have been held.
Basis Of Illegality.
1t appears that the men whose release
has been ordered were convicted by COURTS
martial ordered by the temporary COM
mander of the Cuban Army of Pacifica-
| ton. The temporary commander was Col.
owen j. Sweet Of the 18th Infantry. who
was acting in the absence OF Gen. Barry.
In ordering the courts-martial Col. Sweet
inadvertently overlooked the distinct pro-
vision OF the law and army regulations
that courts-martiaf may be constituted
only by department comma nders or By
full commanders of an army. When the
cases We're called to the attention OF the
judge advocate general, it was recognized
that the courts-martial which had con-
victed the men in question had been illeg-
ally constituted. In the opinion of the
judge advocate general, therefore. there
was nothing to do but to direct the re-
lease of the prisoners

COVERS STOCK SELECTION, FEED
ING, SEED SELECTION AND
FARM MACHINERY.

Owing to the urgent demand On the
part OF a great many farmers and
stockmen of Colorado for more detailed
information concerning the agricul-
tural problems in this state than could
be obtained at the farmers institutes
or through the college and experiment
station publications, a short course OF
two weeks in agriculture and live stock
practice was offered at the college
three years ago. This course Of prac-
tical lectures and demonstrations was
well attended and so popular that they
have been continued each winter since.
The course this winter will be for one
week, beginning Monday morning, jan
uary 18th, and continuing until Satur-
day, January 18th.
AS heretofore, the course will in
clude lectures and demonstrations In

classes of live stock. Particular atten-
ton will be given this year to the vari-
Gus types and breeds Of hogs and
horses, though cattle and sheep Will
not be omitted. Discussions and lee
lures will be had upon feeding, breed
ing. care and management OF all
classes of live stock under Colorado
conditions. The college is better
equipped than ever before with the
best representatives of the different
breeds, and will be prepared to I'LL ev-
cry minute of the time spent with In
teIesting and instructive subject mat
ter for the progressive stOckman.
In agronomy subject the course VIII
he devoted to a discussion of seed Sc
lection. grain improvement, and the
best methods of growing grain, forage
and root crops under the widely vary
ing conditions in this state, giving par
ticuar attention to the problems Of the
so-called dry farming districts. The
many hundreds of eastern farmers who
hav7 recently come to the eastern por-
tioL of our state should by all means
avail themselves of this opportunity or
getting all the information possible OH
this phase of their business, from the
college men, and from the experts from
the United States Department OF hgri-
culture that are expected to be present.
| In the farm mechanics division. the
study of farm motors, such as Saso-
/ line and steam engines and windmilis,
will be discussed, as well as all the lat
est improvements in the various
kinds of farm implements, includ-
| ing plows, drills, mowers. binders.
manure spreaders, etc, a wide assert
nent of which has been secured for the
purposes of demonstration.
| The veterinary and horseshoeing di-
vision will also be deservedly popular
this year.
Every farmer and stockman and his
/ wife in the state can afford to spend
this one week at their college gather
| ing information and stimulus for the
coming year.

ROOSEVELT NOT
A CANDIDATE
POSITIVELY DECLARES THAT HE
WILL NOT ACCEPT ANOTHER
NOMINATION..
ISSUES A Statement
WILL NOT CHANGE DECISION AN
NOUNCED THE NIGHT AFTER
HIS ELECTION.

Standardization Roosevelt
will not be a candidate for third
term.
| All doubt on this point was Wednes-
day night dispelled by the authorita-
tive statement from the White House
that Mr.. Roosevelt still adheres to the
declaration of remuneration made on
the night of the election, three years
ago.
In the statement issued tonight.
President Roosevelt says he has not
changed and shall not change the de-
cision delivered to the American peo-
pie in 1904.
1t appears that President Roosevelt
had been awaiting the call for the Re-
publication national convention to af-
ford the proper opportunity for max
ing his po.ition clear and unmistak-
able, thus leaving the field clear for
Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon. Knox, For
aker and other declared or receptive
candidates for the Republican nomina-
ton. The Presidents statement fol
lows:
in view of the issuance of the call
of the Republican national committee
for the convention, the President
makes the following statement:
"On the night after election | made
the following announcements: am
deeply sensible of the honor done me
by the American people in thus eX-
pressing their confidence in what |
have done and have tried to do. l APP
preciate TO the full the solemn respon-
sibility this confidence imposes upon
me, and ] shall do all that in my power
lies not to forfeit it. On the fourth
of March next | shall have served
three and half years, and this three
and a half years constitute my first
term. The wise custom which limits
the President to two terms regards the
substance and not the form, and under
no circumstances will be a candidate
for or accept another nomination.
81 have not changed and shall not
change the decision thus announced"
The announcement that the Presi-
dent would not accept the Republican
nomination if rendered. came at too
late an hour 10 become generally
known in political circles. but among
these who learned of ii. Democrats and
Republicans alike. the feeling was gen
eral that ii left no element of doubt
in the presidential situation so far az
relates to the third-term talk and that
it definitely eliminates Mr.. Roosevelt
from the contest now being waged.
Some Democrats, however. express a
belief that Il Roosevelt stampede in
The convention would shake his reso-
luton and that he would prove no en-
cepton to the historic precedent that
no American citizen ever refused a
presidential nomination.
Administration Republicans declare
that the announcement gives a great
impetus to the Taft boom, while the
Democrats are shouting that it means
Bryan in walk"
