TO ESTABLISH pos
tai SAVINGS BANKS

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Knox today introduced a bill to es
tablish postal savings banks. The
bill embraces the plan outlined by
Postmaster General Meyer in his an
nual report, and which he advocated
in a public address as being calculat-
ed to encourage economy and thrift
and to afford place of deposit free
from any possibility OF doubt for q
vast sum of money which otherwise
would be boarded and kept out of cir
culation through ignorance of lack
of confidence

the Republican voters of Kansas are
expressing their sovereign will. This

days primary, and all parties will
nominate, in addition to senatorial
candidates, a full state ticket, in
cluding governor, justice of the su-
preme court, lieutenant governor,

Hugh p. Farrelly, of Chanute, will
be given the Democratic nomination

between Long and Bristow, the Re

ABOUT GREEN FRUIT.

us fellows who do not own or

chance of getting any decent fruit to
eat" said the man with a crouch as
he stepped out of grocery store and
accosted a Montrose Press man.
Look at this" he continued, and
he held out a peach that was beau
tifully colored, and seemed to be
ready to burst with its fullness of
condensed Colorado sunshine and
pure air. Feel of that peach" and
our friend handed it over. The Press
man took hold gingerly, expecting
the fruit burst with the handling, but
was surprised to find the beautiful
fruit hard enough to make an ex-
celient shot for two-pound gun.
That's the way it is with all of
the fruit we get here. 1t Is picked
too green. Necessarily fruit for ship
ment must be picked green, but it
makes it deucedly hard on lis local

ACCIDENTS IN COAL MINES.

Last year 5000 men lost their
lives in coal mines in the United
States, a startling record of disaster
which makes urgent the inquiry into
the cause of accidents so destructive
of human life.
In European mines the number of
fatal accidents is small compared to
those occurring in this country, and
since European mine engineers and
managers seem to have studied the
problem with good effect, three ex-
Germany and Belgium, will soon visit
this country upon invitation of our
government for the purpose of in
quiring into American methods of
mine management.
While here these experts will in
spect coal mines in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, West Virginia, Colorado, Ok
lahoma, Alabama and wherever else
there may seem to be special need of
investigation. Plants for the study
of mine accidents which have been
established at different points will
be examined and suggestions made
concerning the most promising meth
DDS of conducting investigations of
that kind. Subsequently, reports will
| be made, which may form the basis
for needful legislation by either the
federal or the state governments for
the purpose of giving more security
of miners.
A short time ago the problem of
mine accidents was discussed in con-
gress with view to providing for an
investigation of coal mines through
cut the country; and the invitation
to the three foreign experts is along
the same line.
| 1t is primarily for the state gov
ernments to enact whatever laws may
be needed to prevent mine accidents
and to provide for the inspection
requisite to the proper enforcement
of such laws. But congress can pro-
vide for an investigation of the kind
contemplated and lay before the pub
lie whatever information may thus
be obtained. Investigations of this
kind will doubtless lead to numer-
Gus reforms now greatly needed

CAUSES A
SENSATION

A sensation was created in
the federal court i'm Denver yes
terday afternoon when Judge
Lewis passed n new ruling in
throwing out dozen naturaIi-
zation cases in which he held
that n foreign born person
must speak the English lang
uage before he can hold a title
clear to IA homestead.
"I cannot allow final papers to be
given said the court, where the
party seeking same is unable to
speak the English language. He can
not understand the laws of the
country, its constitution or any of
the acts that go to prove his citizen
ship. He may have homesteaded
upon land, but he must read and
write English before he can secure
his final papers, and come before
this court with a native born citizen
who can swear he has known the
for period of five years"
The decision will result in invali-
dating hundreds of claims in this
state, and it is said was made in ac-
cordance with rulings and protests
from the naturalization office, that
too many persons were being admit
ted as citizens who were sadly de-
ficient.

DIVORCE

To say that Ella Workman,
| the wife of Ira Workman, was
bitterly disappointed yesterday
afternoon when Judge Sullivan
of the county court declined to
grant her a divorce from her
husband, is making a very con-
servative statement, judging by
the actions and statements of
the handsome young wife.
The case was called up for hearing
yesterday afternoon, and Judge Sui
livan caused CONSERVATION to take
possession of the young woman and
her father by declaring that he could
not legally grant the girl a divorce
owing to the fact that she had not
resided in Mesa county a period of
IL months prior to the time of the
filing of the suit for divorce. Mrs.
Workman had resided in the county
only months.
This ruling naturally ended the
hearing, and Mrs. Workman must
content herself with being the wife
of Ira Workman at least for four
months longer, and then, when she
will be able to establish a residence
of IL months duration in Mesa coun-
ty, she may again ask the court for
a divorce.
Mrs. Workman asked for o divorce
on the grounds that her husband had
failed to provide for her support. She
is the daughter of a well known citi-
zen of DeBeque, and she is at pres
ent making her home at DeBeque
From all appearances it is to be
judged that the young wife bitterly
detests her husband and is very anX-
ious to have the bonds of matrimony
severed.
There comes a report to The SEN
tinel that, had the divorce been
granted, another marriage in which
one of the principals in the divorce
case was to play a star part, was to
have taken place at very early date;
but necessarily would have occurred
in another state.
1t is said that the abrupt ending
of the divorce hearing yesterday COM
pletely upset the plans for the nup-
tial celebration.
