Cañon City record., 1909-11-25

We came from Italy into Switzer-
land. We left Milan on a sweltering
hot day about noon. And by o'clock
we were changing the thin summer
cloths on the children for their win
ter clothes on a train In a binding
snow storm in the mountains
By sundown we were shivering
through Lucerne in a cold drixzle.
In six hours we had climbed the
Alps by way of the st. Goddard pass
and dropped to an elevation lower
than Emporia. 1t takes the transcon-
tinental trains in America twelve
hours to go from Emporia to the
backbone of the range and almost
as long to go down to a thousand
feet above sea level again. If Jim
Hurley had to pull the limited over
the range and down again In seven
hours, he would put the train in an
elevator or balloon.
In Switzerland they use tunnels.
We were thirteen minutes in one tun-
mel and 1t was not the longest tunnel
in the Alps. The st. Goddard pass
route Is a series Of tunnels and the
road does less curving. therefore.
than our American mountain roads.
Powder in the beginning of the roads
history seems cheaper in railroading
than coal in the end.
So while there are no great feats
of engineering in the Alps-except
tunnels-the railroad seems to cover
distance as the crow files, rather
quicker than we do in America But
the impression may be wrong. Per-
haps the beauty of the ride between
Milan and Lucerne made the trip
seem short, for certainly It remains
the most beautiful days journey of
the trip.
The Alps differ from the Rockies In
several ways. Each has a beauty of
its own. Perhaps the surprise We had
in the strange beauty Of the Alps
frightened the effect OF their beauty.
For we were not used to grass Gov
cred mountains.
The Rockies are barren and ragged.
The Alps are everywhere softened
with lush green foliage. Trees and
grass are everywhere on the sides of
the Alps. There are no desert places

COMPULSIVE ACTION :

Washington, Nov. 24.-The delay on
the part of the United States in tax
ing action with respect to the killing
by order of President Zelaya Of Mic
aragua of the two Americans. Grace
and Cannon. it developed today. Is oc-
catsioned by the inability OF the gov
ernment to fix the exact status in
Nicaragua of the slain men.
1t was explained that every effort
in fact these men were members Of
the revolutionary army or whether
they were acting on their own respon-
sibility when captured. II II can be
proven, as seems doubtful. that they
were really responsible for placing of
mines for the purpose OF blowing up
troop ships OF the Nicaragua govern
ment and were acting In this matter
on their own responsibility. their, stat
us would be very different from TSSat
II would be were they acting as ]
par, of the revolutionary forces. II
is this point that the state depart
ment is trying to clear up before
takes any aggressive action agsSi
Zelaya.
The American vice consul at Mana
qua has been instructed to obtain all
possible information on this subject
Until this Information is received II
is doubtful II the United States will
take any steps looking TO the chss|
tisement of Zelaya beyond putting III
self In a position TO act promptly Y
occasion requires.
1t is believed that plans for the con
centration OF warships and marine.
on the Nicaraguan coast will continuj
and possibly this show OF force will
stimulate the energies of the revolu|
tionists and result in large accesI
sions to their army from the disafI
fected portions OF the country now
held by Zelaya.

The thing that impresses one about
Switzerland is its prosperity and
thrift. One sees new houses every
where-new houses of from five to ten
rooims. These are obviously houses
of the middle class-people like us
Emporia people-just like folks.
All over Switzerland the roofs of
the new houses indicate the growth of
the middle classes. They are climb
ing up from below faster than the
houses can be built for them. The poor
who are of course always with us
are not evident in Switzerland.
There are no more peasants.
AS we passed through Switzerland
on the railroad during three differ
ent days In three separate directions,
we saw no peasants. The women In
the fields were always helping their
husbands-not working alone. And
fields were well dressed.
We saw hundreds of Swiss women
pitching hay who wore millinery
wide white straw hats with wells tied
around them; such as European wo-
men wear when they get in the sur
rey and come down TO Commercial
street for their morning marketing.
But what more than anything else
proved the rise of the people was
the fact that upon every clothesline
where a washing waved in the
breezes, was fathers nightie!
No peasant wears nightshirt.
When a man arrives at the political
estate of a nightshirt he has entered
into his full patrimony as "the heir
of all ages" Civilization can do
little more for him. 1t may ameliorate
his lot by casting him into pajamas
But the difference between pajamas
and the nightshirt is not essential.
1t is the assumption of the nightiee
in the first place that marks the man
as having arrived 'in the foremost
files of time" and the canton flannel

father. In Switzerland, waving 90
proudly beside the simple muslin
gown of mother and the low-necked,
lace trimmed nightie of the girls,
marks the rise OF the Great Plain

than do constitutions and laws and
political privileges. The nightie and
the initiative and referendum go arm
in arm up Freedoms Lofty Heightsl

ber of saved out of the $40 lost in the
disaster to nineteen. Almost all the
forty-two bodies taken out Monday

In the mine rescuers met with
great obstacles. In one instance fire
broke out in the tunnel. temporarily

men who had yentured 400 feet from

no bald spots covered only with
sage brush and shrub pine. Indeed.
the Alpine trees are as variant as the
plains trees. One finds hardwood trees
instead of " the pine and the hem
lock" of our high mountains. And
grass and the thick verdure of the
trees, are literally hundreds of crys-
tai waterfalls. These may be only
spring freshets. Perhaps the sum-
mer dries them up. But we came
through the Alps late in May, and II
the season was at its ripeet and full
est then-we are glad OF 1t.
For always we shall remember the
Alps as vividly green. with the "gush-
ing rill" upon every hill. In a score Of
little valleys small towns nestled and
between the towns were hundreds
of farm houses. The farm house
Is unusual In Europe. The farmer
seems to live in the village In Eu-
rope.
The country does not seem to have
gotten away from the old terror that
lurked in feudal civilization when II
was necessary for the poor to band to-
gether to live in villages: when safe
ty against the marauding barons and
organized robbers lay only In num-
bers, 80 all over Continental Europe.
even where modern civilization has
brought the city up to date up to
the last tick of the watch-the farm
ers live in villages and go out from
the villages to till the fields as their
fathers went in Caesars day.
The only exception to this rule is
the Swiss. They live as we live. They
exist as individual families. they live
not in villages but on farms. So as
we skidded down again We passed
many villages in Switzerland. but we
passed also hundreds OF little cuckoo
clocks OF farm houses isolated on the
hfllsides. and we saw farms tucked
away in the rocks even where a Penn
syivanian farmer would hardly dare
to go.
Every inch of the soil Is titled. and
where there Is q barren rock that
will hold dirt in a rain, It is covered
with earth from the valley and cul-
tivated with the greatest care. 1t

At first the meeting between the
couple was pathetic to degree. They
exchanged a kiss and shed n few
tears. But, according 10 Jailer Mes

wore of as the interview progressed
and they were quarreling before the
meeting ended

following the shooting, someone broke
into the house and carried off the
money. Mrs. Eversich claims that
$500 had been stolen, but Eversich
told Detective Sergeant Henry Brid-
gers that not more than s32 was In
the house.
Jailer Messick says Mrs. Eversich
bore the slight upbraiding with pa
thence and fortitude and that she
seemed TO be filed with remorse and
sorrow for the entire affair.
The woman is In jail pending pre-
liminary hearing before Justice Brown

felcnious shooting. The trial has been
postponed because Eversich was un-
able to appear at the hearing, but now
that he can get about. the hearing
probably will be held within the next
few days.
Eversich is still far from well and
u may ba several weeks and possibly
months before he can discard his
crutches. The second bullet fired by
the wife struck him in the leg between
the knee and ankle and shattered the
larger bone In the leg. The other
ball. 22-calibre shell, struck him in
the arm, intiicting slight flesh
