To Beet
Growers
February 8, 1910.

To limit as far as possible, the
danger of beets being frozen and abb
andoned in the ground. and accepting
to large extent the suggestions and
recommendations presented to us by
the Farmers Committee, we have pre-
pared contract with provisions that
currence of the troubles of the past
season, and prove, in other respects
beneficial to the grower.
The acreage to be sliced has
been reduced from 4O% to 3O%. and
the price of sliced beets has been in
creased from 40 cents to so cents per
After October 10th should the
grower find no cars to deliver his load
into when he arrives at the'Dump and
is thereby put to serious delay he will
be permitted to fork his beets out upon
pile at designated place. in the inn
mediate neighborhood of the loading
station.
The scale houses are also to be
kept open until o'clock p. m. to avoid
any delay to growers.
The Company must make ar
rangements for seed and other sup
plies, depending to great extent upon
the acreage to be planted. and this we
should know within the next few
days. 1t is our intention not to con-
tract for as large an acreage as here
tofore, on account Of the provisions in
the contract which allows the growers
to throw beets in piles at the loading
stations, which will also help in the
direction of an early completion of
beet deliveries.
Our representative, MIR. George
Edwards. will be at Ordway, Colorado.
on Saturday, February 18th and Feb
ruary 18th, and at Olney, Colorado,
on Thursday. February 10th. and
Thursday. February 18th, for the pur-
pose Of making contracts for the sea-
son Of 1910.

Soaked to the skin in searching

there he was unable to locate q

voiced freely his opinion of the
police department. Patrolman An
drew Jensen, who patrols the State
street beat, the mayor especially be-
the enforcement of the traffic ordi-
nance. 1.-TWO robberies In one morn
ing" said the mayor, "and not an
officer around In either case. If our
police department would pay more
attention to criminals or equally as
much as to so-called "speak-easies"
and excise matters, l think 1t would
be more beneficial to the CITY,"
The thief searched for by the
mayor was an unidentified man who
is said to have snatched s8 from the
hand of woman at the public mar
ket, Fayette street and New Bruins
wick avenue, shortly after o'clock
this morning. The mayor arrived a
half-hour after the occurrence and
was informed of the circumstances.
|, Il looked for a police officer"
said the mayor to a NEWS reporter
this morning, but ] couldn't find
one. There were possibly 1000 per
sons there, including merchants and
customers, yet in that large gather
ing it was impossible to find an
officer. For an hour in the rain
searched for one, but was unable to
locate any. / was told that If an
officer had been there at the time of
the robbery the thief would have
been captured"
The mayor switched to the sub
ject of individual policemen. why,
only last Monday" he said, waving
his arm, II saw that model patrol
man, Andy Jensen, himself causing
disturbance at Smith and State
streets. A poor, old Jewish man in
a wagon drove up to the fountain to
water his horse and he didn't comply
with the traffic ordinance. Jensen
went over to him, and shaking his
stick in his face, called him down in
boisterous terms. He made more
commotion and trouble than the
man did. Why, it was something
fierce.
Now, don't misunderstood me
and think that the traffic ordinance
isn't to be enforced. On the con-
trary, drivers must be restricted,
but want the officers to understand
that they are always to be polite to
the people. They are not the ruling
powers, but are only employed to
keep peace and order.
Concerning Jensen" continued
the mayor, II have had former COM
plants. One in particular was from
William Cutter, of Woodbridge,
whose wife Jensenssalled down some
time ago In terms unbecoming a
gentleman, because she failed to
comply with the traffic ordinance.
Further complaints will result in his
being transferred up on the hill.
Law is to be preserved In a gentle
manly, not in a bullheaded and bull

Because Of some soft sand on
State street, near the plant OF the
American Smelling and Refining
Company, Philip Greene, seven-year-
old son of Samuel N. Greene, a
sporting goods dealer, of S93 State
street, was yesterday afternoon un-
able to turn his bicycle from the
road to the sidewalk in time to avoid
being struck by one of the big buses
of the Suburban Motor Transit Com
pany.
One of the wheels passed over his
right arm, fracturing 1t between the
elbow and wrist, according to the
boys father, who was riding behind
MIN at the time Of the accident.
Young Greene's foot was mangled
and torn, and he sustained a deep
scalp wound. 1t is thought the rear
wheel passed over his left arm as
that member is badly confused and
swollen. DR.. Charles l. Silk, who is
attending him, says he will recover.
Driver Fred Warner, Of Fayette
street, and Conductor Arthur Ernst,
Of the same address, who were In
charge of the car, tell a story of the
accident somewhat different from
the account offered by the lads faith
err. The latter places the blame on
the car crew, who, he says, refused
to give him sufficient room to pass
Warner and Ernst, however, say the
accident was due to the child's ina
bility to manage bicycle. They
claim young Greene lost his balance
In the soft sand when he attempted
to avoid the car, and they disagree
with Greene that the boy was run
over.

was surprised by the enthusiasm and

Mr.. Roosevelt could not resist the
temptation to deliver a back handed
swat at Governor Harmon of Ohio.

the Union station at Cleveland by his
reference to the car strikes at Colum-

dehed the police and cut loose from
the law. He intimated that Governor
Harmon did not do his duty. He de-

Seven men were injured in an ex-

One of the men, laborer, whose

molten metal, SO far as can be
learned, and he also sustained in
juries to the head.
Superintendent George Griswold

was burned about the back, and
Foreman Thomas Miller sustained
burns of the face and hands. The
other men injured were all foreign
ers, known only by number at the
plant.
How the accident happened is a
mystery to officials at the plant. OF
such nature is the metal near which
the men were working that the ap-
plication of water will cause it to
explode. 1t is believed that water
in some manner came In contact
with the metal .-. 1
A roar as from O cannon accom-
panied the explosion. 1t is said the
bystanders were hurled from their
feet as the flying, burning metal de-
scended upon them.
All seven men were picked up and
rendered first aid. DR.. William

attending the injured men sent them
home. officials at the plant say the
explosion was accompanied by no
damage.

the proposed non-partisan school
board at individual meetings last
night. The former, meeting in con-
junction with the Republican City
Committee, decided to endorse the
straight republican candidates to be

night or Monday night to decide up
on the subject.
At the republican club meeting,
John Hanson was present and made
an address, declining the endorse
ment offered for mayor and stepping
out of the running in favor of VIII

In caucus last night the Republi-

composed of five democrats and four
republicans, in accordance with
plans advanced by the democrats to
re-nominate all nine present men,
bers on both tickets. The action of
the Republican City Committee will
not, however, eliminate the possibil-
tiles of the same boards being

1t Is now planned by the democra-
tic party to endorse the entire
board. On the primary ballots will
be placed the names of the demo-
cratic members of the board, and to-
gether with them those of the re-
publicans. Just who will compose
the republican school board slate
was not decided on last night. To-
morrow night another meeting will
be held to select the candidates.
One member of the republican
committee, 1t is understood. held out
for the non-partisan nomination, but
his fellow members would not agree
The minority of republicans in the
board at the present time Is, on the
surface, their principal motive for
taking the stand.
According to what can be learned
about the republican caucus last
night, it is planned to endorse the
four present republican school COM
missioners and name five other re-
publicans. This would bar the five
democrats and make the ticket a
strictly partisan one. AS the four
republican school commissioners
have intimated that they would con-
sent to run again only with the un-
derstanding that the board would be
non-partisan, there is possibility of
them refusing to stand on the ticket
as proposed by the republican city
committee.
In the event of the four republi-
cans refusing to do this it Is highly
probable that another petition will
be circulated for republican sigma
lures and have the nine men who at
present constitute the Board of Edu-
cation, including the five democrats,
placed on the republican primary
ballot along with the nine that may
be selected by the republican organ
anatioh.2- hlo VIII give IuS IcpuUIi-
cans ofAthe city eighteen names from
which to nominate nine men for
school commissioners on the regular
party ticket to be voted In Novem-
Der.
There Is sentiment enough among
the republicans to warrant this ac-
tion and 1t Is believed thai at the
primary the non-partfsan board will
win in both parties. 1t will be for
the republican voters themselves to
say whether Or not their party shall
throw the schools back into politics
as far as their party Is concerned.
