spent the time in a delightful outing at
the Mesa lakes.
A severe hail and rain storm struck
the point of Grand Mesa slope below
town Tuesday evening and the Roube-
deaux was flooded again, the volume of
water being greater than at the wash
out few weeks ago, and again the
d. & Il. G. passenger train was held
here over night. So heavy was the
fall of hail that the mesa slope re-
sembled huge snow bank for few
hours after the storm had passed. The
road-bed between Delta and Grand
Junction crosses numerous creeks and
deep draws, down which the water
rushes from every hard rain. and the
soil being adobe and easily moved by
water, washouts are pretty sure to fol-
low.

ABUSE PRIVILEGES
COMPLAINT Has Been Made
Against the Local Bill
PaSSerS. -
HOUSEWIVES COMPLAINING

Complaint is made against the
abuse of their privileges by the bill
passers. The city has been flooded
by bills of all kinds within the last
two weeks and it is the custom of
those engaged in passing them to
walk across the lawns. There are but
few intersecting fences in the city
and the bill passers take advantage
OF this opportunity to walk across
lawns from one house to the next, and
never have recourse to the steps.
Some beautiful lawns have been
spoiled by path clear across the
front. The city ordinance in regard
to bill passers is not being enforced.
The housewives are loud in their
complaints. The mail carriers set
the bill passers a good example. The
servants of Uncle Sam are accus-
toned to use the steps leading to each
house and not take advantage of short
cuts.

"Why did you not shoot him, them

not have been for their benefit" re-
piled the Nnglishman. I'VE depended

.SUFFRAGETTE WALTZ
That's the Latest Fad Among
The Young People of
This City.
WOMEN DO THE LEADING

Hard luck to the young fellows who
have been spending all these sheckles
to take their fair friends to dances. No
more are they to lead" and do the
propelling stunt. The new suffragette
waltz puts the youth back number
and henceforth the damsel is to be 1t.
Just as might be expected from the
name, the woman is the real thing.
The woman is given the lead part and
the man glides about the floor In his

Of the ball room and maybe they will
be trying it out at Jackson park this

BROKER NONE IS

Richmond People Who Played
His Game Were Lucky
To Escape.
WILL INVESTIGATE CASE
Is CHARGED THAT THE CHICAGO
RuCkETSHOP MAN PAID Po.
LICE BIG MONEY AS "PROTEC-
TioN" POLICY.

Gus Nohe, the Chicago bucket shop
city was an agent. has been branded
as a CRATER. A prominent broker OF
Chicago alleges that the various Chi
cago bucket shop agencies Of Nohe
paid as high as $500 a week, each, for
protection, and that the police were
associated with Nohe in his dealings.
1t is now probable that a grand jury
investigation will be made of the bust
ness. A Chicago account says in part:
Developments calling either for po-
lice action aainst the bucket-shops OF
Chicago, or grand jury investigation
into the police department itself came
yesterday in the scandal stirred up last
week by the sensational failure" Of
Fire Escape Gus Nohe.
Shippy's Statement.
Chief of Police Shippy, who has thus
far failed to act in the fact Of charg-
es of serious character that have
been made against members of. his
staff, is reported to have said that he
would raid the bucket-shops If it were
shown that there are any Of them in
Chicago. In answer to this statement
officials of the board Of trade yester-
day began the preparation OF list OF
the men known to be out-and-out buck
et-shop workers who are now engaged
in that business in the city.
AS matter of fact, however. it de-
veloped that Chief Shippy would not
have to go outside his own department
to find out whether or not the men
whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the Nohe disclosures
are bucket-shop operators. All Of
them have police records. Several OF
them have been indicted, several have
admitted under oath that they run
bucket-shops, and all of them have al
one time or other been raided by thu
police.
| Inside Story Barred.
More startling than all this, however
is the statement made yesterday by {
broker to reporter in the presence o.
witnesses, disclosing the complete In
side story of Gus Nohe's operation
In Chicago. This statement, taken II
connection with admissions made BY
other brokers, shows that Nohe's col
lections from the Chicago bucket-shol
operators during two years past viii
! mount up to sum much larger thar
any that has yet been mentioned il
connection with the scandal.
/ The bucket-shops were one OF thu
biggest gratis in the city. Even the
smallest of them gave UP from $50 tt
500 week for police protection
Some of them paid much larger sums
Practically all of this graft was paid IN
checks, SO that it is easily susceptible
of proof.

Small Reduction on Rate Pro-

Bill Is Regarded Merely as
a Joke.

And the Giant Corporation
That Controls the Staple
Makes Money So Fast It
Cannot Use Surplus.

Washington, April sugar is the
next household necessity upon which
an onslaught is to be made in con-
gress in connection with the revision
Of the tariff. .e-.-4
The duty of eight cents a pound on
tea, which was written into the Payne
bill by the committee on ways and
means, will be blotted out by the time
the measure passes congress.
The countervailing duty on coffee,
equivalent to any export duty that is
levied by countries from which 1t is
shipped, is also doomed to elimina-
ton.
Plan Big Fight.
Now plans are being made for ter
rifle fight on sugar. which IL the sta
pie article on every breakfast table in
the land. The present impost on sug-
ar is 1876 cents a pound, and the Payne
which has been regarded as joke
from the Deglnnlng.
Between three and half and four
billion pounds of sugar are imported
| into the United States annually, which
indicates that a handsome revenue is
collected upon this article by the fed
eral government.
The standard argument used in be-
half of the duty has been that it at
fords protection for the cane sugar
growers of Louisiana and also the
new beet sugar industry of the West
| ern states.
Makes Consumer Pay Up.
It happens. however. that the prac-
teal effect Of the duty has been to
make the American consumer pay
nearly two cents a pound more for
sugar than is paid in Great Britain
and In countries on the continent Of
Europe.
Another result has been that the
sugar trust, so called, has been max
knows what to do with the surplus
after it's fat dividends are paid
The attack on the sugar schedule
will come from more than one 1irec-
ton. One source of opposition will be
the consumers, who having been stir
red up over the proposed tax on tea
and the countervailing duty on coffee,
| have come to the conclusion that
| sugar also should be made as cheap
as possible. Those senators and rep
resentatives from states which think
their industries have not been prop
erly conserved In the revision bill in
tend to make a raid on sugar, in the
hope IT forcing reduction proportion
ate to that proposed on products in
which their constituents are interest
ed. For instance, the lawmakers from
the coal. lumber. hide and cotton
states are planning to force the sugar
duty down In retaliation for what they
claim has been lack of proper con-
sideration for them.
Cannot Show Kindness.
There is still another ground upon
which the sugar schedule will be as
sailed, and that is that the republican
party cannot afford to show such
kindly consideration for a combina-
ton which practically controls one of
the commonest necessities OF life. In
this connection there is already some
tart criticism of the ways and means
committee and also of the Finance
committee, which evidently proposes
to do nothing more to the sugar
schedule than has already been done
by the house committee.
