Now that the Alpine tunnel
branch of the Colorado Southern
railroad is to be abandoned there
should be no time lost in advocat-
ing the construction OF the Taylor
Park ShortJLine which is a much
more feasible route than the old
Alpine rorute which was closed
during the winter months when
II Was the most greatly needed
for transportation of coal. 1t is
thought that there would be no
difficulty whatever in bringing a
standard Ruage road up the Cot
sasssood pass to within . half mile
Of the summit or narrow DIVIDE
through which a short tunnel
could be easily projected and thus
hand the trains into Taylor Park
and very near the headwaters OF
the Cunnison river from which a
down grade could be had by fol
lowing the water courses unu'
their confluence with the Ko
Crande river is reached in Utah.
The constantly increasing a.
mount of traffic of this Western
Slope country necessitates more
than one railway line over the con-
tin. n divide and there isalread
y enough transporting business
done to pay the operating expens-
es and reasonable profit besides
for the money Invested. Tne
building of a broad gauge sher'
line railroad into Taylor park and
down the Gunnison river would
do moro for the western Slope
country than anything else, as it
would double the tonnage shipped

GIRL HURT IN
CAR COLLISION
PANIC STRICKEN
WHEN CRASH OCCURS
Crown Hill and Washington Street
TroIIeys Collide at Corner
of Sixth and Flower
Streets

One girl was injured and score of
passengers thrown into a state of
panic last night when a Crown Hill
car of the Los Angeles Interurban rail-
way crashed into a Washington street
car of the Los Angeles railway at the
corner of Sixth and Flower streets.
Laura Miller, years old, living at
1861 West Twentieth street, was riding
in the rear of the Washington street
car and the force of the collision threw
her against a seat. She was bruised
about the body and became hysterical
from shock. She was taken to her
home by her father, who was with her
on the car.
The Crown Hill car was in charge of
Motorman 7. Staley and Conductor j.
Ernest. Motorman Staley stated the
collision was caused by the failure Of
the magnetic brakes to work. His car
was going north on Flower street and
the Washington street car west on
Sixth street.
When he saw the Washington street
car he applied the brakes, which did
not work, and his car crashed into the
Washington street car. The rear steps
of the latter car were demolished and
the rear trucks thrown off the iron.
The impact broke several panes of
glass in each car.
Traffic on the line was delayed for
nearly an hour, until the wrecking
crew placed the Washington street car
on the rails.

TYPHUS EPIDEMIC IN
AWFUL BELEM PRISON
More Than 1000 Men, Women and
Children Confined in Deadly
Jail in Mexico
City
Especial to The Herald.1

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 14.-Typhus
fever in a deadly form is epidemic
among the miserable prisoners herded
in Belem prison, known as one of the
most horrible penal institutions in the
world.
There are between 1000 men, women
and children, many of them guilty of
so-called political offenses, now in
Belem. The prison is a comparatively
small building, practically without san
itary devices and is said to be fatal
to an American if he is confined there
more than two days at one time.
Governor Landa y Escandon, head
of the federal district, admits that con-
ditions in the prison are bad. He says:
with over 1000 prisoners there,
Belem is now too crowded, and it is
extremely difficult to keep the jail free
from epidemic The plans are now
being drawn up for the new Jail, but
the corner stone will not be laid until
September. and it will require at least
three wears to build the institution.
Disinfection is carried on, but the gal
leries are so crowded where the prls-
oners have to sleep at night that it is
impossible to clean them properly.
1--WE are extremely fortunate in that
the epidemic was delayed so late TINS
wear. and for that reason it may be
nossibIe to fight the disease away be-
fore it gets full sweep"

PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN
WAGED IN HONOLULU
Chamber of Commerce Is Opposed to
House Measure, While Other Or
ganizations Support It

HONOLULU, Feb. 14.-The house
measure providing for prohibition in
the Hawaiian islands is opposed by the
Honolulu chamber of commerce, The
Merchants association and the Ban
association on the ground that it Is
unwarranted federal interference with
a local matter. The bill is supported
however, by the Civic federation and
the Ministerial union.
Twenty-four feminine organizations
have petitioned congress to extend
them the privilege of voting at tbs
iplebiscite on the prohibition question,
proposed by the senate committee or
Pacific islands. The wives of Governor
Frear, Chief Justice Dole and othel
prominent women of the islands are
taking part in the movement.

GOVERNORS OWN
COUNSEL IN GRIP
OF WATER-SNAKE
Continued from First pase.>~

-
the water steal and famed for his abil-
ity.
To that list must be added the name
of the master hand, turner A.. Beall-
He is president Of the Hudson County
Water Company, that mysterious cor
poration. tied up hand and foot with
the East Jersey and its interests, a
company with New York offices in the
same building with the East Jersey, a
company which protests too-much, an
independence that does not exist. East
Jersey is little more than a name to
the uninitiated. It stands for one of
the most powerful financial combina-
tions in the world, 1t stands for I'M
scrupulous business methods, for water
steals, for ruthless smashing OF oppo-
sition, for the most underhand work
known in legislative halls, for Baker
and his First National Bank crowd" of
New York.
When the present session opened the
whole State of New Jersey waited for
the passage of a l~ong-expected bill
to prohibit diversion Of the well and
other ~sub-surface waters of this State.
Last year the gentlemen III have
| employed Mr.. Colby and the others
to plead their cause tried to steal New
Jersey water. Working by night, pre-
tending to lay oil pipes, using every
subterfuge conceivable, they planned
to rob the people of this State.
Steal Blocked Once.
The steal was blocked.
Armed force was necessary to guard
| the Kill Won Kull to prevent a soulless
| corporation from running its mains to
the Borough of Richmond, Greater
New York city. Those who do not
understand the seriousness of this
| thing must consider for a moment that
the day is not far distant when North
Jersey will tax every watershed it, a
to the limit for it's own needs. What
then, 1t is asked. would be the situa-
ton IL his State now established h
precedent of permitting its drinking
water to be sold for private gain to
the people of another State? Not a
citizen of Staten Island asks for the
water, while hundreds of bankers, law
yers and other responsible men have
testified to the fallacy Of the state
ments of the water company's adv@-
Gates in picturing a population crying,
for water.
All the facts were before the Legis-/
lature. Nine of the Republican SEM
ators last fall promised Governor Fort
that If he would not call a special ses-l
sion at that time they would be re-
sponsible for legislation to punish those
who tried to steal water when his
session convened.
In the last campaign candidates for
the Legislature had to declare them
selves for conservation.
Governor Forts annual message,
January IL, the opening day of the ses-
sion, rang with an appeal for a aw TO
prevent diversion of subsurface waters.
The members of the House Wed with
each other in getting proper bills ready.
On January II. the first day of the
session, bills were introduced. Assem-
| blyman Thomas r. McCran, of Pas
| sale County, a graduate Of William b.
Gourley's famous law Office, looked
| upon as the strongest fighter in the
| Republican House majority, introduced
