EXPERTS MAY COME
COMMERCIAL CLUB ANXIOUS TO IN-
 sTRUCT FARMERS.
Probable Federal Government VIII Be Called Upon to Aid in Campaign Factory Sites Being
 Sought

In order to induce farmers In this section to devote more of their land, to truck farming. Secretary Hyman ot the Commercial club. will try to se' cure the services of Government ex- perts. If his plans materialize. mass meeting will be called for the presen- tation of the methods most practica- ble.
 Conditions in the middle belt of Ala bama according to MT. Hyman. are excellently adapted to this form of planting, and statistics indicate that Alabama surpasses the States of Vtr- ginia and North Carolina, leading truck farming states of the South. both in condition of soil and weather. The ultimate object of the idea is to establish canning factory in Mont gomery.
 Two gifts were presented to the Commercial Club yesterday. a hand some clock by A. W. LeBron. the jew eler, and a framed portrait of A. C.. Forbes, former President of the club. by MT. Forbes. .p..... -s-

 will you go across the street and call my mother and she will come oyer and stay with me and little Eddie.
 T know that my husband hadn't an enemy in the world, and he was all right when he left me this morning. added the brave little woman without the least sign of break down in her voice. We had been married six years. My husband had worked for the Atlas saloon for two years previous to that time."
 John Harwood. the youth of twenty seven years, who has stained his hands with the blood of a fellow man, Is the son of a fine old Southern family.
 sHfsi father Professor liar wood, was the finest of Southern gentlemen" said a friend of the family who lives in this city For many years he was at the head of a military academy In Rome Ga. It was a school 1f more than 400 pupils and the man at the head of It was beloved throughout the whole state. His little son, John, was at tha, time a baby. That was In the early 'ROs. There were two fine girls. older than this boy. I think that both the father and mother have since died.
 "Harwood came to Denver several days ago, and either yesterday or day before went to the American house. He told nothing of his plans to his friend but said that he had expected to find Colorado colder at this time of year; that he believed he would stay in the state for some time, but further than talking of the old folks around in the sunny South he did not have any con versation with his old-time acquain- tance.
 He did not appear very well dressed think he must hay received a good education. Further than his family connections. I know nothing of him. ] saw him this morning and he certainly was not drunk" said the friend.
 Capt G. W. Ely of Montgomery who was in Denver at the time of the tragedy says he visited young Har- wood in jail after reading the conci- dent in a newspaper.
 The Montgomery man was interested because he knows relatives of Har- wood.
 Captain Ely said yesterday that he found that the chief of Police of Den- yer. Mir. Armstrong, Is a Southern man from Jackson Miss, and that he was given assurance that Harwood would have as good treatment as the circum- stances would permit.
 Harwood is related to some of the most prominent families of Alabama.

at Meier and kill him in cold blood"
 The statements of Robert E. Jack, J. A. Scott and Paul Askrtdse were cor roborated by R. p. McElroy, 11S0, Stout street; Leo Miltenberger, Dewey House. 1921 Larimer street; William Mills. 1928 Eighteenth street, and J. M. Van Camp. 562 South Williams. All of these men were in the bar at the time of the murder.
 Henry c. Meier had been employed as bartender at the Atlas bar for the last eight years and during that time has been a trusted empioye of Henry Bled- soc, the proprietor. He was member of the Red Men. He Is survived by a wife and son Edward, aged five years.
 James L. Harwood came to Denver three days ago from Demopolis, Ala, and has been living at the American house. He is twenty eight years old and up to the time of the killing was not employed In Denver. It Is said he came West to get a position.

 Another New Nuseum
 In the Carnavalet Museum, which is installed in the house in which dweit the famous Madame de Sevigne. and which Is situated in close proximity to the Place des Vosges, originally known as the Place Royale, visitors have lel- sure to examine all sorts of interest ing articles bearing on the history of Paris. But another museum, equally instructive in its way is now in process of formation in no less a locality than the Conciergerie. where so many ill., ustrious prisoners have been confirmed and which even at the present date serves a similar purpose. The ini- tiative is due to its director. M. Pourret. who Is energetically adding to the ex- isting collection of relics of the cele- brated captives during the great Re- volution. and intends to display the re- suit of his efforts in the hall so ap- propriateiy called La. Sale de Giron- dins.
 Among the objects which M. Pourret SO carefully treasures Is low chair of the Louis fashion. covered with velvet, which was once of dark rcd but has faded to a yellowish tint. It was used by Mario Antoinette, and he keeps 1t in his own office, as he says that if he had left 1t in the cell oc- cupied by the ill-fated Queen, nothing of 1t would have remained. as about 500 visitors are admitted on Thurrdays. and many of them carried off scrap of the velvet or of the wood. Three pictures are to enhance the interest of this museum. One represents Marie Antoinette communicating in her cell. another shows her quitting the temple; while the third Is fine portrait of her before her incarceration.
 Articles belonging to Robespierre, Danton. Madame Roland, Madame Re- camier. Madame Elizabeth, and other celebrities. are also to be displayed in the Sale des Girondins, which will likewise contain collection of regis ters and documents relating to the Revolutionary period. So great is the interest exhibited in the task. which M. Pourret has undertaken, that he Is daily receiving offers of articles which have belonged to people who figured in the great upheaval, either as free gifts or at very reasonable prices. So the museum promises to be very com- plete, as we'll as extremely interest ing and to be worthy supplement to the institution on the other side of the Seine already alluded to.

REFORM IN RUSSIA.
To Abandon Policy of Repression. anA
 Go For Reform.


 St Petersburg, Oct. 2-During ths recess, the St. Petersburg ChanceIieries have been drafting for revising a var iety of projects of reform in important departments of administration. It ia to be presumed that many of the pro- jects will have more definite and con crete significance than the majority Of such schemes have had during the last few years. The Government appears to be slowly abandoning its attitude of qinmodified repression and seriouslN facing the necessity fer the enactment of a large number of far-reaching re- forms
 ready been introduced into the Duma and will be discussed during the early stages of the coming session. Others are still In process of revisionfin Gov ernment Commissions and sub commia- sions. and will probably be brought in- to the Duma during the winter. As to Parliamentary institutions they appear to be fairly secure for the present Tho extreme Reactionaries. as far as the are represented In the Union of the Russian people. have lost in prestige during the summer, chiefly owing to tn the revelations made at the Her. zenstein trial in regard to the compli- city of the leaders of the Union in poll. tical assassination.
 The Emperor's visits abroad have done something indirectly to strength en NJ. Stoplypln's position. and to en- sure a certain amount of stability in the external and internal policy of the Empire. It may be presumed there- fore, that Mir. Stolypin and the Duma will be able to act for some time in concret, and that a considerable nun- ber of bills which have been drafted during the year by the Government Chancelleries will escape the usual fate of such productions. and will actually become, in a more or less modified form, the law of the land.

German Jewel Thieves.

Berlin, Oct 2.-The German police have arrested at Mulhouse. in Alsace. certain persons charged with being the remaining members of an international gang of thirty jewel thieves, first batch of whom were arrested at Paris. The thefts they are alleged to have committed in the chief European cities during the past eight months amount to over S750.000.
 Various members have confessed to some sixty robberies fin England, Ger many, France Italy, and Switzerland. Their method was to enter bedrooms at fashionable hotels by means of the chimneys. The booty was then hidden in forests. and ultimately disposed of by sales agents' at Cairo.
 The chief of the band went by the name of Aha" and he was recently ar rested in Paris. He had places ot abode at Geneva and Genoa.

the opinion that the Lords would throw out the budget If they reject ed this budget they would be creating 2 a precedent so novel that none of the greatest sfnancial authorities or the most experienced officials had any Idea what would happen. If the Lords disorganized the finances. left England shores defenseless. disorgan- ized trade and withdrew old age pen sions,, there would be a revolution of a kind they had never witnessed in this country.
 The outcry of the dukes against the budget, proposals has led to the un- earthing of some instructive informa- ton as to the way In which some of the weaithiest members of the peerage escape payment of a fair share of taxation. The young Marquis of Anglesey. who has done nothing to create his vast riches. and had no reasonable ground to suppose that they would ever come into his possess sion, since he succeeded as cousin of the late marquis. receives $4oo.00o an- nue1ly from Burton. and contributes in rates to the town no more than $390. This fact was elicited at a meeting of the Burton Town Council. It also transpired that S65,000 was paid to the marquis for ferry rights and ap- breaches before the council could build bridge over the Trent. A member of the council asked what the marquis paid for his shootings and his ground rents in the district, but no information was forthcoming on this point.
 Trade Unionists consider that their Congress at Ipswich. just concluded. marked a great advance in the move ment. The last meeting of the Trades Union Congress. held in the Eastern countries. was at Norwich, in 1894 At that Congress there were 3?2 dele gates, representing Trade Unions with a membership of 1,0s5,0oo. At this Congress they had 495 delegates. representing Trade Unions with a membership of 1,701 ,o00. They had at this congress thirty-three members of Parliament, twenty-six justices of the peace, one mayor, and eighteen coun- cillors.
 Many recommendations to ensure the safety of mines are made by the Royal Commission under Lord Monks well, which, appointed in 1906. has just issued its second report Every mine, 1t is said. should have a proper ly trained brigade of it's own or have the right to call on men from a rescue station. Officials of a mine ought to have ambulance certificates. It is suggested to appoint committees of owners to provide rescue stations and train the men. especially in the use of breathing appliances. As the safety of the men depends greatly on the firemen or deputies. it is proposed that they should be certificated and pass a periodical examination. while engine winders should also be medical ly examined. Where the law is broken the Commission prefers prosecutions to fines, but the latter should tn-all cases 20 to charity.
