WILMINGTON FFUD
HAS FATAL ENDING
PETER LAUDE DEAD FROM
BLOW OF ENEMY
Frank Montana a Prisoner at the City
jail with a Charge of Man.
slaughter Against
Him

The feud which has been waged Bit
terly for many years between Peter
Laude and Frank Montana ended late
yesterday afternoon when Laude' died
at his home in Wilmington as a result
of beating inflicted in their last fight
at Wilmington Tuesday.
Montana is a prisoner at police head
quarters and the charge of battery
which was lodged against him at the
time of his arrest was last night
changed on the police blotter to one OF
manslaughter.
For years the two men had been Bit
ter enemies and fought on the slight
est provocation with varying success.
A little over two years ago, after a sa-
loon fight. at San Pedro, Laude shot
and seriously wounded Montana, and
for this crime served two years at San
Quentin.
Upon his release a few weeks ago he
returned to Wilmington and lived with
relatives. Montana also lived in Will
mington, and as soon as he realized
that Laude was in the sams place the
feud was renewed.
The men met Tuesday and 1t is said
that Laude threatened to get even
with Montana for his two years. term
in prison. Words finally led to blows,
and it is alleged that in the fight Mon
tana dealt his adversary terrific blow
on the point of the jaw Laude was
taken to his home in dying condi-
tion and Montana was taken to Los
Angeles and locked up at police head
quarters.
Montana claims that he acted in self
defense and that the fatal quarrel was
brought on by Laude.

GREEK LETTER SOCIETIES
a GET FAVORABLE DECISION
Fraternities Score Victory over Board
of Education at Adrian,
Mich.

ADRIAN, Mich, Sept. 25.-Greek let
let fraternitles gained favorable de-
cision over the board Of education yes
terday, when the Lenawee county cir
cult court decided that high school
pupils could not be expelled from
school for refusing to sign pledge
not to be members of secret societies.
AS this was the first case under the
law forbiddlng fraternities in public
schools, Attorney General John z. Bird
was called into the controversy and he
declared that the board of education
had no power under the statutes to ex-
pei Wallace Hook, who brought suit
after he had been excluded from
school for refusing to sign the pledge.
Following this opinion by Attorney
General Bird, the board of education
did not file an answer to Hooks suit
for reinstatement, and the complain
ants demand was granted.
After the case was lost by the board,
1t passed resolutions depriving fratern-
ity members OF all privileges and hon.
ors in athletics, debates and other
school contests.

HELPED DIG THE
GUNNISON CANAL
ASSISTANT ENGINEER TELLS
OF BIG TUNNEL
DITCH CUT THROUGH SIX MILES
OF HILLS
Project VIII Garry Large Flow of
Water from River to Fertile
Fruit Land of Uncon-
pahgre Valley

Jerome H. Fertig, one of the assist
ant engineers whose work maze pos
sible the successful opening OF the
Gunnison tunnel last week in Colorado
is in Los Angeles on his way back TO
the work after a vacation passed in
Seattle San Francisco and interme-
diate points.
Mr.. Fertig, as government engineer
on the inside of the entire work on the
great project, has an interesting story
Of its prosecution The Gunnison tun-
mel is six miles in length and was punt
to carry the waters of the Gunnison
river at point in the 1000 feet deep
canyon known as the Black canyon of
the Gunnison, through the hills and
flats to the upper end of the Uncom-
pahgre valley. This latter is fruit
full and, part of which has been for
years raising very fine peaches, apples
and potatoes. These products were
such as could be raised with the small
amount of water in the Uncompahgre
river. The Gunnison, with an enormous
flow of fine water, was only a few
thousand feet distant, but the hills be-
tween made it impossible to obtain
these waters without tunnel. After
several years of figuring 1t was at last
decided, in 1905, to construct tunnel
and to connect the water ana the lanu
by that means.
The work has been slow and costly
as there was q variety Of rock en-
countered, but it is at last finished
There are several miles of cementing
still to be done to finish the tunnel en-
tirely, but this task is being hurried.
Builds TweIve=Mile Canal
Connecting the western end Of the
tunnel with the main canal down the
center of the valley is a canal twelve
miles long, thirty feet wide at the
bottom, eighty feet wide at the top and
thirteen feet deep, This canal was
the particular care of Engineer Fertig
In its construction he encountered sew
eral hills, which he was forced to tun-
mel, and also a very material fall
which he overcame by constructing
drops, one seventy feet high and one
eighty feet. These falls will be utilized
later for the generation of power.
The tunnel is 101a by 13 feet in the
clear and will carry 1900 cubic feet per
second of water. This is enough to ir-
rigate the entire Uncompahgre valley
with its 100000 acres of irrigable land
OF these 10000 are on government re-
serves and will be opened for settle
ment on the final completion of the
cement work In the tunnel
The principal towns of the Uncom-
pahgre valley are Montrose, on the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad, and
Delta, several miles below. Mr. Fertig
says the soil Is very rich, the climate
mild and the conditions particularly
favorable for raising fruit, beets
wheat, alfalfa, barley and potatoes. OF
the latter, several exhibited at the
state fair last year won all prizes, de-
feating even the exhibits Of Greeley
the home of famous potatoes.
Mr.. Fertig will be in Los Angeles
only few days, when he will leave
for the work again.

(Signed) CLIFFORD PINCHOT."
It was thought yesterday that the
meeting here Of the president, Secre-
tary Ballinger and Mr.. Pinchot might
call out some further statement from
Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Pinchot came from California es-
pecially to seek an interview with the
president.
With the exception of the meeting at
the statibn yesterday, neither attempt
ed to speak to the other, Secretary
Ballinger and Mr.. Pinchot were not
thrown in contact during their stay
in Salt Lake.
Balllnger Ill
Mr.. Pinchot attended several func-
tions along with the party escorting
the president today, but Mr.. Ballinger,
pleading a sore throat, remained In
doors most of the time.
His private secretary met him here
and he devoted much of his time to
disposing of business matters.
Mr.. Ballinger had no comment to
make tonight on the latest phase of
the discussion. Friends of both Bal
linger and Pinchot declare the presi,,
dents statement is such that both of
them can consistently remain in the
government service and work toward
the same ends.
Mr.. Pinchot has declared himself in
favor of a strong conservation policy.
Mr.. Ballinger has declared himself in
favor of keeping within the law.
President Taft finally declared him
self as being in favor Of strongly
progressive policy, kept within the
law, with such amendment to the law
as may be necessary to carry out Mr..
Roosevelt's ideas.
In an address here this afternoon,
Mr.. Taft had this further to say re-
gardlng conservation:
To Appeal to Congress
1--WE are going to move on congress
and ask congress to help us out. OF
course congress may have different
view and perhaps those of us that are
most enthusiastic. those of us that
have a clear idea of what will have to
be done, will have to modify our views
in some way and arrange compro-
mise.
But life is a compromise; progress
is a compromise; popular government
is a compromise between ninety mill
lions of people"

SHOWS FUTILlTY OF
WORRY AND ANXIETY
GIVES RELIEF FROM TORMENT
OF APPREHENSION
Mrs. Eddy Teaches SaVior's Methods
of Healing by Mental sugges-
tlon-Great- Secret Given
to World

A young girl was once journeying
with a party of friends through the
White mountains on a six-in-hand
coach. The high seat beside the driver
seemed very attractive to her, SO with
the help of friends she climbed to the
coveted place, where she felt entirely
secure. At first, while they climbed
the mountain side, all went we'll; but
when the road led down the opposite
steep incline and the driver skillfully
guided his horses around the sharp
curves, the coach swayed from side to
side, in manner which was very
alarming to the inexperienced traveller,
who clung more and more tenaciouSly
to the coach rail; every muscle rigid
and every nerve tense with apprehen-
sion. The driver turned to her and,
with a smile, said, You'd better sit
loose, Miss" This incident illustrates,
in homely way, the groundlessness Of
much human fear, as we'll as the un-
happy effect on the body of anxious
foreboding. Many persons literally go
through life with tense nerves and
muscles with no more reason than that
cited above-but it is by no means al
ways so simple a matter to remove
fear and its mental and physical ef-
fects.
Anxiety Unnecessary
Mankind always has sought and is
still seeking for a way of escape from
the torment of apprehension. The
great majority have not yet found the
way. Every one knows that anxiety Is
not good no one likes it; It has never
made any one either happy or good or
healthy; 1t has never accomplished any
good thing; and what will be more re-
luctantly conceded although it is pa
thetically true, there is never, at any
time or under any circumstances, any
real necessity for anxiety The truth
of this last statement, however, is
something which many people are hap
PLY learning, through the loving min
istration Of Christian Science.
Anxiety is always the anticipation of
future i'll; it is continuous uneasiness,
painful foreboding. Sometimes mortals
suffer in the anticipation more than in
the actual experience OF some i'll for
tune; more frequently people suffer in
the expectation Of dread of that which
never happens. Others are made
miserable by anxious fear without any
cause or object apparent even to them
selves. David's cry, "Why art thou
cast down, o my soul? and why art
thou disputed within me?" is reiterated
by many burdened heart How much
happier this world would seem If anx-
iety could be eliminated from every
ones experience. NeVerthelesS, Try as
they may, with all the moral courage
at their command, many find it inn
possible to rise above the habit of an
ticipating evil.
Advice Easier Than Precept
1t is alays easy to advise others that
they should not be anxious; much
easier than to overcome the tempta-
tion to be SO ones self. It is often
especially difficult to show to others
reasons why there Is no cause for
anxiety. Even David's Hope thou in
God who Is the health of my coun-
tenance and my God" has not al
ways brought comfort or courage, be-
cause faith in God is, to many people.
