The monarchical will not be tolerated

government
We have had recent instance in Ala

chance to speak the Car was de-

AS speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives Tom Reed, of Maine, attempted
the Despot act and 1t was when Crisp
of Georgia in his famous speech before
the House appealed from Philip drunk
to Philip sober that the representatives
overruled the speaker.
But the most notable instance In the
modern history of this United States
government was that which eliminated
yesterday in the national House of Rep
resentatives at Washington.
The overthrow of the domination OF
legislative acts by Speaker Cannon was
complete. The power of control was
taken from him. He was deposed as the
Car of legislation, but still retained upon
the pedestal of the presiding office, to act
merely as presiding officer. but no longer
as Dictator.

not prevail and that the man was not

construction work which will mean

Over 200 men with teams were put
to work near Goodnight, where the
Rio Grande is constructing a double
track to Swallows, distance of ten
and half miles. This will give the
Rio Grande, when completed, dou-
BILE track between Pueblo and Canon

Hill Controls Midland
Grand Junction Vitally Interested

The recent announcement that the
Colorado Midland would abolish all
of its agencies outside of the state of
Colorado and that the business would
be handled by the Burlington and
Colorado & Southern agencies has set
afloat lot OF runners concerning the
Mif,snds ownership and Hill-Gould
fiafSc alii4nSes wta,1 the executive
officials are reticent to explain, says
an interesting dispatch from Denver
today.
1t is generally nderstood that the
Denver & Rio Grande, which owns a
half interest in the Midland, will take
no active part in the management of
the Midland in the future and that
the Hill roads will deliver business to
the Rio Grande and Western Pacific
at Grand Junction and Salt Lake City
tnstead of Denver
The Denver 4 Rio Grande loses
certain advantages by this arrange
ment, as 1t will obtain only part of
the benefit of the haul from Denver
to Grand Junction, whereby in the
past ii secured the haul ON the Bur-
lington's business for the entire dis
tance over its own rails, with the
exception of small part of the busi-
ness. The Midland traffic and track
age agreements with the Denver &
Rio Grande which enable it to operate
to Salt Lake City and through these
agreements the Hill lines virtually
The daily sentinel., 1910-05-24

get an outlet for an additional SOC
miles west of Denver.
1t is understood that the Burling-
ton and Colorado 4 Southern were
dissatisfied with the showing made
by the Midland. The officials were
not blamed for this trouble, but in
stead 1t was laid to the policy under
which the road was operated. Tht
Denver & Rio Grande could hardly
be expected to become enthusiastic in
soliciting business for line tina,
competes with its own. even If 1t was
half owner, and for that reason the
traffic business has been turned over
to the Hill roads.
When Darius Miller, president OF
the Burlington, was last in Denver he
stated that traffic agreement be-
tween the Burlington. the Denver &
Rio Grande and Western Pacific had
been effected which would result in
the exchange of a large volume OF
business. The change in the policy
of the Midland following the trip OF
Mr.. Miller to the coast and the an
nouncement he made in Denver upon
his return ten to confirm the report
of the Gould-Hall traffic agreement,
which he afterward denied. q
1t is generally conceded that there
is more behind the Midland deal than
has yet appeared on the surface and
that George Gould's influence in the
company is now secondary to that of
Mr.. Hill.

STOLE GIRL'S S HAIR.
ISpecial to The Sentinel. !

New York, May 24.-The police
here are looking for thief whose
act of petty larceny is without prece-
dent in the records Of the New York
detective bureau.
Under cover of a crowd at an open
air suffragette meeting in Union
square a few days ago. he clipped of
IL inches of hair from the head OF
Jeanette Toplitz. 16-year-old girl
student in Columbia University. Her
hair was worn in a long braid down
her back, fastened with a ribbon at
her neck. The end of the braid hung
below her waist. She did not discov-
er her loss until she was about to re-
tire for the night.
The police believe that the person
who clipped her hair was either a
joker with perverted conception OF
humor, or someone who wished to sell
the hair.

New York.-A voluntary wage in

Standard Oil company. The remark
able increase to workmen, who in the
entire history of the concern, have
never been on strike, ranges from
s to 10 per cent.
The order is retroactive n be-
came effective May 1. 1t Is estimated
that the company will add from So
600 900 to 100000 to it's annual
pay roll expense.
The new scale affects employees en-
gagged in the company's works and fac
tories, but the office men will not be
benefited by this increase. Most of
the employees who will get the in.
crease are laborers, and the advance
applies to all the subsidiary compa-
