Idaho Springs Is Celebrating the Dis
coycry Of Gold.

Idaho Springs, Col, May THE
semi-centennial of the discovery of
gold in the Rocky Mountains is being
celebrated here today, and old timers
are here from all parts of the state
to take part in the ceremonies.
The feature of the day was the
unwilling of a monument to George A.
Jackson, the first discoverer of gold in
Colorado. One of the most interested
speakers when the monument was
unveiled was B. S. Allen. known to
pioneers as Dick Allen, who prospect
ed with Jackson in the early days.
In 1859 JacksSn started on the
prospecting expedition that resulted in
the discovery of gold in Colorado. He
first struck the precious metal in a
small stream tributary to Clear Creek,
about 35 miles west of Denver.
The legend on the monument I'M
yelled today follows:
ION this spot was made the first
discovery of gold in the Rocky noun
tains by Geo. a. Jackson, January Z,
1859. Placed May Z, 1909"

WANTS TWO FOURTHS.
PENNSYLVANIA Congressman Would
Make October IL Holiday.

Washington. May 7.-Representa-
tive j. Hampton Moore of Pennsyl-
vania, wants the small American boy
to have two Fourths of July, and he
has therefore introduced a bill which
would give the youth of the United
States an excuse to use fireworks and
make noise on each 18th of October
That date is the anniversary of the
discovery of America by Columbus.
Mr.. Moore would have it set aside as
columbus day."
The bin would make the day a legal
public holiday to all intents and pur-
poses, as the Fourth of July now is.
1t is not known whether Representa-
tive Stevenson of Minnesota, will in
troduce a bill to make a holiday of
the anniversary of the day on which
it is claimed Eric the Red dis
covered America. Mr.. STEVENSON is
a Scandinavian.

TO SAVE THE CHILDREN.
Exclude Vehicles From Streets in
COngested Districts.

New York, May I'm an effort to
reduce the mortality among the chill
dren in the congested streets of New
York, Alderman Marx with the en-
dorsement of number of the board,
has submitted plan to Police Com
missioner Bingham which provides for
the exclusion of vehicular traffic on
certain thoroughfares between the hours
of 3 to p. m. The number of chill
dren killed by trucks and automobiles
has increased so rapidly recently that
in several sections of the city parents
have petitioned the board of aldermen
to limit traffic while the children are
at play in the streets.
Several aldermen believe the plan to
De a good one and have asked the po-
lice to test it on East side. streets.
Their idea is to have all vehicles barred
from certain streets during those hours
and have the children play in the streets
thus exempted from vehicles while the
latter use other thoroughfares. This,
the alderman believes, will facilitate
the traffic by teams where they do not
have playing children to contend with
and will reduce the number of children

SPECIAL CAR BURNS.
High Officials of the Pennsylvania
Have "a Narrow Escape.

Chicago. May High officials of the
Pennsylvania lines experienced a thrill
ing escape today from fire which de-
ST royed the special car on which they
were travelling from Pittsburg to Chi
cago. The officials were First Vice
President Joseph Wood. Second Vice
President J. j. Turner and Chief En-
gineer Thomas Rodd. Mr.. Turner es-
capped through a window.
The Pennsylvania special to which
special car No. 1905 was attached, was
bowling along at a merry clip between
Hanna and Davis Station, Ind, when
the fire was discovered by Mr.. Wood at
a. m. He signaled the train to stop,
shouting an alarm to Messrs. Turner
and Rodd. The latter and Mr.. Wood
were near the doors and escaped in ex-
IRENE negligee as the train came to a
stop
Meanwhile Mr.. Turner occupying a
compartment near the center of the
car, aroused by the heat and the shouts
of his companions, opened the corridor
door, only to find his exit blocked by
the flames. He promptly turned to the
window and smashed the glass with his
fist, no other instrument being at hand,
but the sash refused to bulge
The train, obeying Mr.. Woods signal
with prodigious jerks, which alarmed
the entire passenger list, presently
crew from the outside succeeded in
raising the sash and Mr. Turner was
assisted to safety, with no injury more
serious than a slightly cut hand.
The burning car was then shunted
onto a siding and left to it's fate.
The fire is believed to have been due
to crossed electric wires.

A dispatch received at the Rock Is
land depot at noon reported Weston at
Bonner Springs at IL o'clock where he
rested 10 minutes, drinking a glass of
milk for refreshment. Having left Kan
sas City at o'clock this morning the
old walker was making but three miles
an hour instead of his scheduled four
and at that rate would scarcely be able
to pass Lawrence tonight and that is
probably where he will stop.
At his present rate of travel how
ever, he is not expected to be able to
reach this city before o'clock to-
morrow afternoon. The hot sun and a
lack of rest during the past week
seems to have affected the aged walk
er, slowing his pace and diminishing
his endurance. He is walking with even
more staggering and loose stride in an
attempt to prevent exhaustion of strain
of his much eXerted legs. A glass of
milk and raw egg serves to recuper-
ate the veteran when he reaches a lit
tie hamlet tired and worried over his
loss of time. Just how long he will
remain in Topeka is undetermined but
probably only a sufficient time to re-
fresh himself and give his short talk

ed not to call Mrs. Helen Annis to the

STONE WITH BRISTOW.
He Points Out That There Are More
Users Than Makers of Lead.

Washington, May 7.-Declaring that
if congress should fail now to lower the
tariff rates, the Democratic party
would be put in possession to so revise
it two years hence, Mr.. Clapp, address,
ing the senate today, said he did not
wish to use threats but merely to tell
the truth.
THE American people," he added,
"have determined upon this revision
downward and anything else will dis
appoint them. 1t may be in your pow
err he said as he faced the Republican
senators, ito act contrary to the wishes
of the people, but SO sure as you do
that, two years from now this tariff
will be revised not by the friends of
protection but by the enemies of pro-
lection"
When the lead schedule was again
taken up, Senator Stone took issue
with his Republican colleague, Mr..
Warner, on the duties provided in the
bill, declaring that the rates of the
house bill were sufficient to protect the
great lead industry of his state, and
that the increases made by the senate
committee on finance were unnecessary
for that industry.
In my opinion, continued Mr.
Stone, zone and one-half cents a pound
be even from the standpoint of the pro-
tectionist, and I will vote to put it
down to one cent"
Referring to remarks by Mr.. Bristow
yesterday, Mr.. Stone declared there
were more people using white lead than
making it and they were entitled to
equal consideration.
Mr.. Warner heartily agreed with his
colleague that the lowering of duties
on lead would not Increase importa-
lions. He did think, however, that any
one familiar with the conditions in the
lead mining districts of Missouri, in
1856 would attribute the small impor-
tations at that time to a lowering of
the duty.
In the opinion of Mr.. Carter, a de-
cided majority of the senate was in ac-
cord with the lead industry. The rate
of u of cent a pound, he declared
was ruinous. He defended the Aldrich
rate of IL cents pound on the ground
that it would result in keeping all the
activities connected with the mining
operations of the country in a healthy
state. The propositions of Mr.. Stone
he characterized as elementary.
