ODD FELLOWS
LEADER HERE

Hon. Lyman 1. Henry, of
Pueblo, formerly prosecuting at
torney of this seventh judicial
district, is present in the city
today in his capacity of Grand
Master of the Odd Fellows of tho
state.
Mr.. Henry is well known in
this city to a large number of
old timers and he is being warm
ly greeted today on all sides.
This afternoon Mr.. Henry was call
ed upon by u representative of The
Sentinel and asked regarding the
proposed Odd Fellows home to be
erected at some point in the state.
Mr.. Henry was non-committal about
where 1t would porbably be located,
but he said that the sovereign grand
lodge of the state had fifty thousand
dollars in hand and would build
some place soon.
Mr.. Henry says that he would like
to see the local lodge OF Odd Fellows
entertain the sovereign grand lodge
next year and he believes that there
is large sentiment among the mem
bers of the lodge to come to some
point on the western slope. 1t de-
pends solely of course on the effort
that would be put forth to secure the
lodge session.
There is no fixed program for the
lodge tonight, save that work in the
third degree will be performed and
an address from Mr.. Henry.
Time has dealt lightly with the
grand master and he is as cheerful
and happy as was his wont when
living in this section of Colorado All
his old time friends are glad to see
him

WANTS LONG AND SHORT
HAUL CLAUSE IN BILL
Senator Overman FaVorS ProVlS'
ion in New Railway Regu-
Iation Measures

WASHINGTON, May 9-Taking up
the railroad bill today the senate re
sumed consideration of the long and
short haul amendment. Senator Over
man was the principal speaker.
Declaring the present law contains
a Joker" the North Carolina senator
presented an amendment making 1t
unlawful for any common carrier to
charge more for short haul than Tor
a long haul. except with the approval
of the interstate commerce commls-
sion.
Mr.. Overman also undertook to show
that the New England cotton mills
get their cotton cheaper than do the
southern mills, in the heart of the cot
ton region, while at the same time they
pay less on shipments of the products
to the Pacific coast. He contended the
rates were established without any
regard to their reasonableness ana
were absolutely arbitrary.
Mr.. Piles was opposed to the inser-
ton of a long and short haul amend
ment in the bill and spoke especially
against the Dixon amendment. he
took the position that the practice OF
charging more for short than for long
hauls was due almost entirely to water
competition, and said where there was
such competition the practice was not
unfair.
Proceeding, Mr.. Piles said the system
had originated as the result of cir
cumstances and was not a matter OF
choice. To change it now and fix
rates, as it were, by the yardstlck'
would be unjust

KEEP YOUR HANDS Off
SAYS TAFT TO CONGRESS
President Tells House Executive
Department Is Making a
Thorough Cleaning

WASHINGTON, May 9.-President
Taft sent a special message to the
house of representatives today to tell
why he considers a congressional in
vestigation of the sugar frauds in the
customs service ineXpedient.
1t is, he says, because "a congression-
al investigation at the time would en-
barrass the executive department in
the continuance and completion of the
investigation of the appraisers and oth-
er officers of the customs service"
The presidents reply was to a resolu-
ton passed in the house on April IA
calling on him to state his reason for
not wishing a congressional inVestiga-
tioh, as he had intimated in his mes
sage at the opening of the session.
The president did not lose an oppor-
tunitv to tell the house when a con-
gressional investigation was necessary.
The danger of granting immunity to
any offenders through a congressional
investigation, the president pointed out.
was still grave. He referred to the
case of Heike, secretary of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company, sum-
moned before the grand jury during
the sugar company's alleged connec-
tion with a combination violating the
sherman anti trust act, and pleaded
immunity.
While the supreme court refused to
pass on the question, claiming it did
not properly come before IT. the presl'
dent indicates that the point is left to
be raised in the event of conviction
of Heike,
If congress were to investigate the
veighers and appraisers offices it
would have to go about getting just
such expert evidence as is now being
gathered, the president said, and will
be sent to congress as soon as the pres
ent investigation is at an end.

RECIPROCITY OR RUIN
FACES PAPER MAKERS
Congressman Mann Says One OF
Three Policies Must Be
Used Toward Canada

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Apropos Of
the announcement by Canada Of the
increased duties on wood pulp and
print paper, and the prohibition of eX-
portation of pulp wood from crown
lands, Representative Mann of Illinois
who led the fight in congress during
the tariff discussion for lower duties
in the United States on those articles,
said today: ..,--
I'm view of the Canadian situation,
we can adopt one Of three policies:
First. pass an act of congress taking
off the duty on paper coming from any
province which permits the free eX-
portation of pulp wood, wood pulp and
paper: second, negotiate a reciprocity
treaty with Canada to the same END,
and third, continue the present status
and ruin one-half of our paper manu-
facturers and greatly increase the price
of print paper-how much, no one can
tell" III
Congressional action this year on this
feature of the tariff or any other tea-
ture. however, is unlikely. The Re
nublican leaders would resist any ef-
fort to open up the tariff question and
already have done so once or twice IN
the present session.

ROOSEVELT GIVES
FORMER PREMIER
OF NORWAY ROAST
Gunnar KnudSen Uses COlonePs
Conservation Boost to Aid
Own Campaign
COMPELLED TO MAKE DENIAL
Teddy Also Emphasizes Fact He
Is Not MeddIing in Nor
Wegian Politics
Associated Pressl

NHRISTIANIA, May 9,-Mr. Roose-
velt's visit here has been followed
~ by an incident which is making
sensation in Norway.
Mr.. Roosevelt has severely censured
former Premier Gunnar Knudsen, who
is now vice president of the parliament,
for using his name and quoting him as
a partisan in Norwegian politics.
The former premier has been making
a cannaign and introduced a bill in
parliament for the conservation of nat
ural resources, chiefly the water power,
and the opposition party has been fight
ing this scheme as an infringement ON
personal rights.
At the recent gala dinner at the
castle Mr.. Knudsen had d conversation
with Mr.. Roosevelt on this subject.
The latter, in the belief that he was
speaking of general principles, eX-
pressed warm sympathy in the work.
Mr.. Kundsen asked permission to make
the former presidents remarks pubic.
Tell it to anyone you IKE, MI
Roosevelt replied, enthusiastically.
There was a considerable stir when
the newspapers appeared quoting Mr..
Roosevelt as a warm supporter OF Mr.
Knudsens policy.
Mr.. Roosevelt summoned Knudsen
and insisted emphatically that he issue
a denial, and he himself issued letter
to the same effect. The opposition pa
pers are now attacking the former pre-
mier.
The Aftenposten says:
From the denial which Mr.. Gunnar
Knudsen was compelled by Mr.. Roose"
velt to make it appears that at the
conversation in question Mr.. Roosevelt
was thinking of his own American poll
icy, while Mr.. Knudsen was speaking
of his Norwegian policy. We Will not
dwell upon the want of discretion
shown by Mr. Knudsen in trying to
involve a guest of the nation in our
own internal political disputes and try
ing to turn him to political account;
"This want of discretion rightly
aroused a great deal of indignation 1t
is an absolutely unprecedented pneh0,iIih- ON
Theodore Roosevelt does should, during
the visit he pays US, be compelled to
issue a denial of what the late premier
stated regarding his conversation with
him.

TAFT ASKS AID FOR THE
SUFFERERS AT CARTAGO
House Authorizes War Secretary
to Loan Canal Supplies

WASHINGTON, May 9-President
Taft, as president of the American Ma
tional Red Cross society, made a strong
appeal today for contributions to re-
lieve the distress of the earthquake suf-
ferers in Costa Rica. Contributions,
the appeal states, may be sent TO the
National Red Cross, washington, or to
the local Red Cross treasurer.
The American Red Cross has re-
ceived from the city of New Orleans
$1OO5 as its contribution to the Cartago
relief fund. The United Fruit compa-
ny at Boston has contributed S25,000,
which probably will be distributed
through the company's agent at San
Jose.
United States Charge d'Affaires Mon
roe at San Jose cabled that the people
are in great distress. but the govern
ment feels some hesitation in asking
aid from other nations, which is as
sumed to mean that the government
will accept contributions gladly.
The house today authorized the sec
retary of war to loan blankts, tents
and other stores in possession of the
isthmian canal commission to the suf-
ferers.

of San Franciscos desire to hold the

"What are you going to do about the

was asked.
ut isn't up to me to do anything"
he answered. "There is a law in Cali
fornia prohibiting prizefighting, but it
contains a clause permitting athletic
clubs to hold boxing matches, with the
consent of the proper authorities, pro-
viding that the number of rounds is
limited and that the contestants are
examined by a physician beforehand.
This is what they say they are go
ing to have and no one knows anything

INQUIRY INTO BRIBERY
STARTS AT SPRINGFIELD

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, May 9-Sanga-
mon county's inquiry into the alleged
legislative bribery began today when
the grand jury heard testimony of
Representative George w. English of
Vienna, the first of the witnesses sum
moned by States Attorney Burke.
English did not vote for Lorimer,
but it was he who made the sensa-
tional address during the vote on
United States senator, which minority
leader Browne resented, as English's
words were interpreted by Browne to
mean that money had been used.
English testified he had no definite
knowledge of an alleged Jackpot" He
said Representative Beckemeyer told
him on the morning of Lorimer's cleo
ton he would vote for Stringer, the
Democratic candidate, but that during
roll call Browne had a conversation
with Beckemeyer and the latter voted
for LOrimer.

large steamers and hundreds of small
craft are tied up at the wharves,
ready to sail. 1t is expected that
few of the boats win leave this week,
but most of them will start down
stream next week.

COMMISSION CUTS RATE
ON LUMBER TO COAST

WASHINGTON, May 9.--In an opin-

commerce commission today in a series
of cases, it is held that a rate of 70
cents per 100 pounds on a hardwood

west of the Mississippi river to the
Pacific terminals, is reasonable, and
that the rate Of 50 cents per 100 pounds
previously exacted by the railroads
was unreasonable.
orders are made in all cases grant
in preparation for the charges eXacted
in excess of 70 cents per 100 pounds
on such shipments.

HEPBURN TELLS WHAT He
LEARNED OF SUGAR TRUST

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Former
Representative Hepburn of Iowa ap-
reared before the house committee on
expenditures in the trasury depart
ment today and related details of an
investigation which, as solicitor of the
treasury department, he conducted in
to affairs in the New York customs
office in 1891, in which he discovered
conditions similar to those recently
unearthed regarding the weighing of
sugar.
Mr. Hepburn's investigations were
made during President Harrison's ad-
ministration and there have been
charges that his reports were held up.
Mr. Hepburn found that sugar re-
finers were willing to pay their I'm
port duties from weights Of the gov
ernment scales, but refused to sell
sugar on the same scales.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, May g.
More than 1000 dead have been taken
from the ruins of Cartago. No one is
allowed within the precints of the
devastated city except the Red Cross
workers and gangs of soldiers and
volunteers employed in clearing away
the debris, removing the bodies and
dynamiting the dangerous buildings.
Most of the survivors of the earth
quake are now at San Jose.
Medicine and food from the Amer
lean warships are being rushed from
Port Limon. but the condition of those
who still remain around the city is
such that extraordinary measures
must be taken to provide assistance
and shelter for them.
Even in San Jose the residents for
the most part are living in tents and
wooden structures, fearing to occupy
their homes, as the earth tremors con-
tinue.
No living person has been taken
from the ruins in the last two days.
and although a thousand dead have
been removed it is known that there
are many still beneath the broken
walls and timbers. Because of gem
eral panic the various organizations
engaged in the work of relief find it
difficult to reach all.
Many survivors are still hungry and
helpless.
The village of Cat is reported totally
destroyed and the village of Entro
Rios partially destroyed.
Mexico has contributed large sum
of money to aid the victims and con-
tributions are coming in from other
sources.
The nature of the earthquake that
destroyed Cartago is now being dis
cussed and the general testimony of
those who suffered from it goes to
show that it resembled an explosion
more than the ordinary seismic move
ment which has been felt throughout
the republic during the past two or
three weeks.
