PENAL CODE BILL PASSED.
Regulates shipment u Liquor and
Selection of Federal Juries.

selection or FeuSfai JurleS.
Washington, ID. C.-rhe penal cooe
bill passed the senate after the elm
nation of the obnoxious sections
which the democrats opposed as be-
ing remnants Of the reconstruction
era. This bill contains the anti-jug
rider 1t has finally An the gaunl-
let in both houses and will go TO the
president for his signature.
From the section which declares
that troops of the United States shall
not be used in any state except in
case Of war or to keep peace at the
polls, the words ito keep peace at the
polls were stricken. This relic Of
reconstruction horrors will no more
find a place on the statute books.
Another section affecting the right
to serve on juries, which provided
that no citizen of the United States
should be Disseminated against in
the matter of selection for jury duty
because of race, color or previous
condition of servitude, was eliminat-
ed from the bill. The means that
negroes may be kept off the jur1es
Many southern senators were plac-
ed in a most embarrassing position on
account of this measure They were
bitterly opposed to the obnoxious sec
lions above referred to and yet they
were DESTROYS of having enacted into
law the prohibition amendment.
The anti-jug law was put on as an
amendment TO the code bill by the
house. The senate had adopted tie
measure as an Independent bill, which
had been reported by the judiciary
committee by Senator Knox. 1t was
similar to the bill originally introduce
ed in the house by Mr.. Brantley OF
Georgia. The amendment prohibits
any railroad or express company from
acting as the agent of buyer or seller
In consignments of liquor. The car
rier may transport the liquor, but it
must have nothing else TO do with
the transaction. The bill is intended
to prohibit G. 0. ID. shipments OF
liquor to fictitious persons and to
break up can arrangement by which
the express offices have been made
branch othces of the liquor houses.
The bill requires that every package
of liquor shipped in interstate com
merce shall be plainly marked on the
outside cover. Violations are punish
able by fines of not more than $4,000
or Imprisonment for two years, and
there is an alternative to the last
provision that the liquor may be seiz-
ed and destroyed.
The revision defines more clearly
the jurisdiction of the federal court
over cases coming within the admiral
ty and maritime law; it enlarges the
statute so as to reach modern deVel-
opments as to new methods of com
hitting crime, and the extension of
American territory; it prohibits not
only "obscenep literature, but filthy"
literature from the mails; it elimi-
mates some of the so-called "Ku Klux"
laws.
Practically the only new legislation
is that to punish leaks" Of govern
mental statistical information, and the
regulation OF interstate shipments of
intoxicating liquors. In order that
any serious error might be corrected,
the bill does not become effective I'M
til January /, 1910, enabling congress,
when it meets next December, to cor
rect any serious mistake or omission.

SUCCESS OF WELD COZ NTY
ARTIST

More than ordinary success has
attended the efforts of Francis Ha b..
the young artist whose boyhood days
were spent in Weld county and whose
Interpretation of the Greek story o.
Echo and Narcissus is one of the
most famed of all the pictures in
the Partisan salons this year, ac-
cording to the New York Sun.
The young artist is being lionized
in Paris
The subject which he chose is one
OF the most attractive in all Greek
mythology. The beautiful nymph,
Echo, who was loved by the forest
god, Pan, is seen gliding away from
the handsome Narcissus. son of the
river god, Cephisus, for whom she
had conceived a tender passion
which, unfortunately, he did not re.
turn. AS result Echo grieved and
pined away until finally her voice
was all that was left of her and she
took to the woodlands which Par
haunted and mimicked every sound
she heard.

FARMERs UNION SAID no
RE PROTECTING EARupos

To enable the farmers ali ova,
the United States, about 2 00o Ana
In number. to protect their Interest,"
against speculators and those en.as
ed In distributing farm products a,
organization was formed about eieb,
years ago called the Educational ma
Cooperative Union of America
Since the launching of this unio,
the farmer has advanced to n nlnco
of high esteem and no longer do
he have To listen to the dictates NJ
the commission men. who wears 400
told the farmer what he would ph,o
Tor his wares. and the farmer was
forced to accept his figure or have no
market for his crops.
NOW the conditions have chauppd
The farmer does the debating and il
the speculator does not meet his do
mands. the produce is distributea
by the farmers bonded broker. wbo
is the central distributing point for
all the farmers in the state
In Colorado and Texas, this organ
ization Is exceptionally strong. Tho
Colorado union has membership
of 1000 and the beneficial strides
taken by this union since it started
In Denver two years ago menacos
the standing of the other brokers
in the state
The Colorado union owns about
thirteen stores. four or five coal mines
and several different kinds of fac
tories. All of these are directly nm
der the supervision OF the farmers
and they know just exactly what is
being done with their products.
The main objeA of the association
is to bring the prices on all food
stuffs down To what is called fair
figures. Two-thirds OF the price ask
ed for goods is added, so 1t is said
for the handling and shipping of the
goods. The object OF the cooperative
union is to bring the producer and
the consumer in closer touch with
each other
AS yet the union has not regulated
this state of affairs in Colorado. but
II is hoped by the farmers of this
state that such condition will come
to pass within a short time.
Down in Texas some years ago
the cotton growers, before the or
ganization of the cooperative union
got So per cent credit and Ia per
cent cash for the cotton. When the
organization was formed the condi-
tons were reversed and now the
growers are receiving S5 per cent
cash and | 5 per cent credit That
is the point Ior which the Colorado
farmers are striving. and accordins
to the members of the association
they are vel on the road to success

THE COLORADO ARCHAE-

The proposition of the foundation
Of Colorado Archaeological instI-

reference to investigation of certain
southern lands. seems to have met
with greater favor abroad than at
nome.
1t was the idea of certain estimable
men and women of Denver to ret
together and organize for two pur-
poses. to take steps to perpetuate
certain works of prehistoric men in
the southwest part of the state, and
to make provision for state museum
for the housing of the rare speci-
mems which are unearthed from time
to time in Colorado.
The submission Of the proposition
was made year ago and since that
time nothing has been done. Now
several scientific magazines have TAX,
en- up the subject and are pushing
1t, urging that the project be OF
broader scope and that it include

THE OLD CROOK OF THE WEST

The day of the old crook in west
ern criminal history is past Glance
over the police dockets of any west
ern city and two facts will impress
themselves most strongly upon you.
The first is that all the best" Grim
inals, such as second-story men, first
class pickpockets, safe crackers and
holdups. are men under IS wears OF
agedn the second is the fact that a,
least 80 per cent OF the men arrested
are unmarried
feggmen of the real genuine var
iety. following the uncertain calling
OF safe cracking after the manner OF
John fegge. a notorious tramp GRIM
NAL of Chicago. are growing fewer
every year in the west and their op-
erations are confined almost entirely
to the larger cities. These men are
the oldest. usually, of any OF the
crooks. And they are usually dope
fiends.
The thief in his prime, who is
making big hauls in jewel and metal
robberies. has no more respect for
the dope fiend thief than the ordi-
nary decent citizen has for either
OF them. 1t lowers the standard of
the calling 1t is not because us
ing dope is bad. that word has no
meaning in their vocabulary, but it
takes away from them their efficiency
and as soon as a crook begins to use
opium. cocaine or morphine. just
as soon do his fellows put him down
as one who is lowering the standards
in the gentle arts of blowing safes
and opening second-story windows.
There are probably few more IA
nous criminals in the west today
than one Tommy Lee, who was in
Jail in Denver six months ago. In ap-
pearance Lee might be mistaken for
poet with his long haid his senti-
mental face and fine cut features
but he is a safe cracker of inter
national fame and his Bertillon

who has been farming on the Dorsey
place east OF Severance, boarded the
SEQ train at Eaton Sunday alter
noon on his way to his old hone in
Ohio. A couple of strangers gave
him a drink that contained large
quantity OF some drug. believed by
the attendant physician to have been
choral
Lane at once became senseless and
was removed from the train here
and taken to the Cottage hotel, where
doctors worked over him unu 10
o'clock last night. He was an odd
Fellow, and members of the local
lodge looked after his we,fn~e and
saw that everything possible was
done for him.
The sheriff was notified. but as
Lane could not give salts actory
description of his assailants there
is no likelihood OF their being ap-
pretended.
Lanes condition was much i'm
proved this morning and he insisted
that he would resume his Journey
sometime today. He is still weak
from the effect OF the drug and It
is not believed he will be able to
travel.
Although he was carrying watch
and quite a sum of money. the hold
ND men helped themselves to only
$50.
The Greeley police and the sher-
itf's office are both on the Lookout
for the men who doped the Eaton
man. Greeley has been filtered for
them but thus far no trace o. hem
has been discovered.
1t is believed that they went on to
Denver
The ruse of the two men was one
of the cleverest which has been ner-
petrated for many years aboard a
! U. p. train. All three men we're
surrounded by other passengers in
the car and when the Eaton man was
stricken it was believed that he had
simply become violently i'll.
His two companions dropped out
of sight about that time in anotber
portion of the car and 1t was thought
that the sick man had probably had
an attack of heart trouble and mere
was no suspicion of crime nrtil
