TeII-TaIe Grip

The most damaging evidence found
against the man, that would connect
him with the Las Vegas crimes, was
in grip, which he left at a saloon in
Pueblo. While Collins now says this
grip. in which the plumber of his hold
up in Pueblo was found, was stolen
by him from another saloon in that
city, it is thought this statement was
made by him in fear that something
would be found in the grip, pointing
to his guilt of the hold-ups in other
cities, including Trinidad, Colo. Las
Vegas and Phoenix. Arizona
Collins admits that he was in Phoe-
nix, Las Vegas and Trinidad but
swears that he is innocent Of the hold
ups perpetrated in these places.
In the grip was a receipt for an ex-
press package, marked on the receipt
as "Bdle" the abbreviation used to in
dicate bundle This was sent by C. C.
Perkins at Albuquerque to the same
man at Las Vegas. A post card sent
out by the Las Vegas office of the ex-
press, company notifying Perkins of

Position Taken BY The International

Paris Especially The second In
ternational Pure Food Congress en-
tertained petitions from the Natural
Ice Association of Massachusetts,
and other similar organizations in
the United States, sharply protest
ing against the condemnation of nat
ural ice at the Geneva Congress last
year. The petitions were consider
ed by a subcommittee, which sub
sequently reported a resolution
modifying the attitude of the con-
gress and setting forth that natural
ice should be made only from water,
the purity of which was guaranteed
by the sanitary authorities and that
the ice should be gathered, stored
and shipped under conditions that
would make contamination impossi-
BILE.
A subcommittee reported in favor
of permitting the use of small guam
titles of boracic acid as a preserva-
tive without indicating the presence
of the same. Another subcommittee
reported in favor of requiring cof-
fee with which chicory has been mix
ed to be labeled as adulterated.
Other committees in their reports
recommended that the coloring of
butter and the use of cochineal col
oring in jams be approved.

Messages Over A Distance OF 5000

The Navy is soon to conduct expert

graphy. Impressed with the import
ance of a system which will in cases
IF necessity transmit messages from
some place on the Atlantic seaboard
for distance of 5000 miles, the
matter was taken up in earnest al
most year ago. The desirability
Of such long-distance communication
the officials say is obvious, for in
times of war it would prove invalua-
BILE to the government. By its
means the Navy Department will be
able to control and direct readily
from shore the movements of the
fleet. This, together with the propo-
sition to install wireless apparatus
on ships SO that they may be able
to communicate with each other at
a distance of 1000 miles, will put
the government in the position where
directions given to one vessel quickly
may be transmitted to another.
The experiments in communica-
ting 5000 miles are to take place
at Brant Rock. Mass, beginning
probably late in December. Instru-
ments constructed for this purpose
have been installed III tower over

miles from Brant Rock. the present
