Rocky Ford Melon Growers Robbed.

As to the melon question. whilst
few OF our farmers have made some
money by growing melons for seed,
those growing them for the market
have received treatment at the
hands OF the commission men that is
nothing short OF daylight robbery.
The last nine,y-six cars OF melons
shipped to Crutchfield 4 Voolfolk Of
Pittsburg, Pa, the members OF this
association received 3126.17 for the
entire ninety-six cars, or trifle over
SI.3l car. The railroad received
their full amount Of freight rs well
a charges for refrigeration; the COM
mission men received another lions
share and the men who pay the taxes,
own the land and produces the mel
ons, crates and hauls them receive
what was left.
A car shipped to Arnett 4 Cooley.
Of Denver, contained 2l.375 pounds
aud the commission men sold BY re-
port 1900 pounds. Out Of $3.50
pounds OF melons shipped 1850

ARGUES THAT He
IS LEGALLY DEAD
Albert 7. Patrick Again Makes
Effort for Free1Onl

New York, Nov. 30.-Albert T. Pat
rick, whose sentence for the murder
of William Marsh Rice was commuted
to life Imprisonment at Sing Sing, ap
peared before the appellate division
of the supreme court in Brooklyn tC
argue that within the law he has al
ready suffered death and thus has paid
his debt to the state in full and should
be set free.
Patrick contends that the solitary
confinement preceding electrocution
has been held by the United States
supreme court to be part of the pen.
atty decreed in death sentence He
served that time in full and now
makes the point that, when the court
of appeals reaffirmed the decision of
the court of conviction and set a new
date for execution it transgressed his
constitutional right in ordering him to
serve another period of solitary con-
fnement, thereby duplicating punish
ment he had already suffered.
The failure of the warden to electro
cute, in compliance with the first order
of the court, Patrick argues, was
clearly an act of nonfeasance

LABOR LEADERS

Ask Certain Recommends

INJUNCTION IS FOREMOST

oompers, Mitchell, Morrison and
O'conneII, Comprising the DeIega.
tion, Request Mr.. Taft to Urge
Changes in the Law Regulating the
Issue of Court Edicts, Particularly
Where They Apply to Industrial
Disputes.
Washington, Nov. 30.-Recommen-
dations. looking toward the improve
ment of the condition of the laboring
man we're urged upon President Taft
by delegation of labor leaders head
ed by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor.
John Mitchell, second vice president;
James O'Connell, third vice president,
and Frank Morrison, secretary of the
federation, accompanied Mr.. Gompers
to the White House. The delegation
desires that the recommendations be
incorporated in the presidents annual
message to congress.
Foremost among the recommends
tfons was one concerning the issu-
ance of injunctions by federal judges,
particularly as such injunctions apply
to personal liberty and are used in
the settlement of disputes between
employers and employees.
The exempting of labor organiza-
tions from certain provisions of the
Sherman antitrust act was discussed.
The president has practically decid-
ed that his message to congress will
make no detailed recommendation re-
garding the Sherman act. This de-
cision, which is a decided change
from his intention few weeks ago,
is based largely on the fact that there
are pending in the supreme court and
on their way to the highest tribunal
number of important cases involving
the Interpretation of that act.
He feels, it is said, that specific rec
concentrations from him at this time
might be construed as an attempt to
influence the court.

Gibraltar, Nov. 30.-Semi-of Off cial
messages from Melilla indicate that
the present advance" of the Spanish
forces is nothing but a bluff prelim-
mary to the early abandonment of the
entire Moroccan campaign. The move
ment, it is declared, is engineered for
no other purpose than to deceive the
Spanish public.
The advance is accomplishing no
material gain. Only worthless posi-
tions have been captured, several of
them without shot being fired. The
disputed mines, however, remain in
the Riffs possession and it is doubt
full whether the Spanish will ever be
able to retake them.
