JAMES LEE BROUGHT BACK
FOR KIDNAPPING OWN CHILD
(From Fridays Daily

James Lee, wanted for the past
Ave weeks on q charge OF kidnap-
ping his three years old daughter
from the home OF its mother in the
eastern part OF the county. was
brought to the Weld county Jail last
night by Sheriff F1orance. who has
been gone for more than a week, en-
gagged In the task OF having honored
requisition from Governor Shat
roth. Lee was brought back from
Wharton. Tex, where he was ar
rested about ten days ago and held
for the officers Of Weld county.
When Sheriff Florance was COM
PEELED to wait for several days to get
a hearing It was feared here that he
would not return with Lee. The
prisoner fought his case stubbornly,
refusing to return here without a
reQuisition. 1t was also intfmated
by friends of the family that the case
would not be prosecuted II the
mother was allowed to have her
daughter back. The mother was
given the child last Monday at Whar-
ton, where she went Immediately af-
ter hearing of the arrest of Lee.
The case is one OF the most spec
tacular OF the kind In the history OF
Weld county. The Lees were d.
vorced last summer, the mother be-
ing awarded the custody Of the
child. The father was allowed to
take the little girl buggy riding for
several hours on Sundays designated
by the court. 1t was on one of these
rides that he failed to return with
the child. and a search was begun
that extended from Canada to the
Gulf OF Mexico. 1t is probable that
Lee never would have been caught
II 1t had not been for the affection
the little girl formed for gray cat
that she admired. Pussy was taken
along on the wild trip that extended
from Colorado into Nebraska. thence
to the far northwest and back again
through the United States to Texas,
where Lee was caught. The cat
enabled the officers to keep on the
trail.
Under the Colorado statutes the
fact that Lee is the father OF the
child makes no difference in the
punishment for kidnapping. The
fact that the wife had been awarded
the child by the court places the
father in the same class In the eyes
OF the law as any other person who
might steal 1t. The penalty for kid
mapping Is from one to ten years in
the penitentiary.

and sled. No one wanted to make
the trip which was considered i'm
possible But Bill hired mule from
one man, a horse from another, the
sled and harness from a third, and
persuaded man number four to drive
him through the drifts, a plunGing
twelve miles on his way. With a "a
pound coil of wire, two skis, test
set and his climbing irons on his
back, Bill pushed ahead on snow
shoes to Whideley's Peak, where he
spent the night, and got guide and
| trapper to accompany him. That
next days trip was made on skis
! eighteen miles over the Rabbit Ears
range to the trouble-testing back
to Denver whenever the line showed
J above the snow: and for half mile
at a time, 21 foot poles would be
entirely covered. When he had
gotten it" and found the wire clear
both ways, Bill and his guide, Char
ley, started back.-From THE Trou-

DUST CAUSES SCHOOL
CHILDREN TO SUFFER
WITH RAD EYE SIGHT

An unusually large percentage
school children in Colorado hav,
poor eye sight, according to the bi-
ennial report OF Mrs. Katherine M
Cook. state superintendent OF public
instruction, and Mrs. Cook believes
that this Is due to the bright sun
light and dust storms of this region.
The report shows that 29.1 per
cent OF school children here have
trouble with their eyes. In Chicago
the percentage OF those whose sight
is impaired is only 15.1 per cent.
Mrs. Cook recommends radical
changes In the school system. These
include q legislative act making the
state superintendent an appointive
office. either by the governor or a
board OF education; the abolish
ment OF Independent school districts,
and the uniting OF school districts
under one county board OF education
in each county, SO that taxes may be
equally divided and the payment OF
rural school teachers on the same
scale as city teachers. The state
superintendent should have had at
least five years practical experience
in educational work. and no teacher
should be allowed to go into the
schools unless she has had a high
school education and at least six
weeks in summer institutes.
A large percentage of children at
tend school I'm badly equipped and
unsanitary buildings. in charge of
poorly paid. unframed and incom-
petent Teachers" said Mrs. Cook.
No teacher should be allowed to ac-
quire her professional training at
public school room. Is another OF her
remarks.
She recommends q law by which
the governor may appoint a state
school building commission OF three.
one OF whom shall be an architect
and shall receive 81 day for all
the time he spends in the service OF
the state. She recommends the es-
tablishment of a minimum salary for
teachers by statute and courses in
agriculture and farm economics for
rural teachers as Normal training
schools.

the fact that the oleomargarine busi-
ness is not working under such a
burden as many people think. Peo-
pie have heard SO much about the
ten cent tax on artitically colored
oleomargarine that they have nat
urally associated this tax with all

AS a matter of fact less than
three per cent OF the total product
is taxed at ten cents per pound, the
remainder being taxed only quar-
ter of a cent per pound.
An effort will probably be made
by the oleomargarine manufacturer

FACTS GAINED FROM FED
ERAL MEAT INSPECTION

Thor has been suspicion for
severe financial loss from tubercu
losis in our farm animals. Now, We
are In possession Of facts gathered
by the bureau of animal industry,
and given to us in report by Chief
A. D. Melvin, which are startling in
the extreme.
OF course, the saving of human
life affords the chief motive for COM
battng this disease, but taken purely
. from an economic standpoint, we are
suffering a financial loss, which in
the aggregate. amounts to millions
of dollars annually.
The facts given us by Doctor Mel
win are cleaned from statistics of the
federal meat inspection service, and
are certainly interesting. More than
one-half OF all the animals slaush-
tered for meat during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1908, were inspect
ed There were in round numbers
nearly fifty-four million animals In
spected and of these the following
were found diseased with tubercu-
losis: Adult cattle. nearly one per
cent; hogs, over two per cent:
calves, very few. and sheep ana
goats. none.
The claim can no longer be justly
made that the tuberculin test for tu-
herculosis is not reliable. record
of tests made with the government
tuberculin, for fifteen years, reveals
the fact that out of 100000 cattle
tested (mostly dairy cows) there
were over nine per cent of reactors'
and OF $4,000 reactors that were
slaughtered, about 80 per cent were
found tuberculous.
From all the statistics we learn
that about 10 per cent of dairy cows
in this country. one per cent OF other
cows, and two per cent OF hogs are
tuberculous.
OF the economic loss from the dis
ease We gain some idea, by noting
that there is about two and one-hait
million OF dollars annually lost on
animals that are inspected at the
abattoirs. and OF course the health
lest animals are sold to slaughter
so that the loss from tuberculosis
in all animals slaughtered for food
is much more than five million dol
lars annually.
In addition to this Is the economic
loss. in depreciation of value, loss in
milk supply, loss in failure to breed
and In feed for unproductive anf-
mails. which amounts in the agsre-
gate to fully fourteen million dol
lars annually.
Many of the states are co-operat-
ing with the federal government in
an effort to eradicate this disease; II
IS hoped that Colorado will do like
wise. GEO. II. GLOVER,

northern Colorado towns with the
Greeley-POudre mower

northern Colorado towns with the
Greeley-Poudre power.
Only about 100000 in addition
to the 100000 originally planned
to spend on the system will be re-
quired to equip the company for
furnishing power. 1t is expected
that Is months will be required to
build the reservoirs. pipe lines and
power plants. The water carried
through the Laramie-Poudre tunnel
from the Laramie river will be used
to generate the power. which can be
had without impairing the flow for
irrigation purposes.
The first of the reservoirs will be
somewhere In the Poudre canon be-
low Zimmerman's home. 1t will have
depth of $50 feet. From this
water will be drawn to supply the
other reservoirs. which will be To-
Gated further down the canon. From
the first reservoir the water will be
pumped up the mountain side to an
elevation OF 300 feet from which
point 1t will develop high pressure
on reaching the second reservoir
The same system will be applied to
the third reservoir. 1t is planned to
develop approximately $4,000 horse
power with the three plants.
With the power at its command
1t is estimated that the value of the
irrigating project will be more than
doubled.
The Denver Tramway company Is
mentioned as being interested in the
completion of the project. Rumors
In financial circles are. in effect, that
the Greeley-Poudre bonds will be
taken over by a holding syndicate
comprising the Tramway company.
Union Pacific railroad and several
Denver banks. The bonds will not
be placed on the market, but held
as collateral until the water has been
placed within reach OF all the lands
of the company. after which the
bonds will be marketed.
This situation relieves not only
the embarrassment OF the company
in disposing OF Its large bond issue
through the brokers contracted with.
but who failed to make sales at the
rate apreed upon, but will enable
the company to proceed with all dill
gence in completing the irrigation
system and starting at once on the
power plants that are expected to
provide power for the contiguous
territory.

GOVERNOR FAVORS TAX ON

Governor Shafroth favors tax on
coal companies of ! cent per ton OF
output, the money so collected to be
used for the maintenance OF an en-
larged bureau of coal mine inspec-
ton and OF three rescue crews to oe
stationed in different parts OF the
state.
We ought to have at least sl1
deputy coal mine instectors, salo
the governor, land the work OF IN
spevtion ought TO be thoroughly
done. so that enforcement of the Law
should be compelled in every mine.
| do not think it right that the large
EXPENSE attending these unfortunate
calamities should be borne py Tue
public.
"The rescue crews ought to be sta
toned. one in the southern field, one
in the northern and one on the west

ton thoroughly equipped it might
be that the loss of life even In the
more serious disasters would be ma
terially reduced"

pointed, makes its report. Governor

New Alf.lf. for Farmers

Five hundred pounds of Grimm al
falfa seed will soon be distributed
to the farmers of the state by the
Agricultural college. Professor C..
l.. Fitch. potato expert for the col
lege, was In Greeley Saturday and
made the announcement that the
distribution would begin soon.
This is one OF the hardest and
finest varieties OF alfalfa known. 1t
thrfves in Minnesota and has the
valuable property of keeping healthy
while in the ground during the cold
winters. Only small quantities will
be given out to the farmers. They
are expected to plant 1t for seed
purposes. The Grimm produces bet

"BIIL" PROCTOR. TROUBLE
HUNTER, MAN OF RESOURCE

bill" Proctor, the emergency
man of the Colorado Telephone com
pany, is a good example OF the trou-
ble-hunter. He bears the reputation
of having always gotten what he
started after; and not only does ne
take the message to Garcia, but he
hurries back for another-the thing
Is a habit with him. Like most
thoroughbred trouble-hunters, Bill
is a great walker. On the last OF a
three day trip he once made through
the mountains to Denver, in an et-
fort to protect his homestead from
contest, he covered sixty-siN miles
over the continental divide in twen-
ty-two hours, and then went to a
dance in the evening. He is a little
man. but he has one Of those jaws
that Is the feature OF face. The
fact that he would take the stages
out through the SHOWS after other
men had abandoned them was what
brought him to the attention OF the
telephone company.
Last winter the Denver wire chief
told him that two men who had
tried to shoot some trouble from
the farther end of the Steamboat
toll line had given it up, and had
beeu found snow bound and snow
blind in cabin. burning old bed

THE SIMS RETURNS,

The Evening Sun again last night
demonstrated the fact that it has
the best news gathering organiza-
ton in the city. II had the earliest,
most complete and most reliable re-
turns to be had all during the even
ing, sometimes a half hour earlier
than any others. To show the char
acter of the morning papers report,
this morning it was yet claiming all
the Democratic school ticket had
been elected when The Evening Sun
announced at o'clock the definite
information that Wanner had beaten
Stewart and that Hubbard and Kolb
were also elected. A correct addi-
tion of its own figures would have
given the true facts to the morning
paper.
The United Press, the Western
Union, and our own special CORE
spondents in the state gave The
Evening Sun the news from the
country and state at large, and II
was displayed as rapidly as it came
in.
The Sun had a new feature in
displaying its bulletins last night, a
process whereby the returns are
written on the slides by a typewriter
and this made them more easily
read.
