| Below is given an example of the
manner in, which a local telephone
| company was treated by those who
| howled against the state company.
| The article is taken from the Ber-
| thoud, Colo, Bulletin:
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
To the People of Berthout and vi
cinity:
Three years ago we organized The
Northern Telephone company. We
did ii at your request. We built and
| began the operation of a first class
telephone plant in order to protect
you against the extortions of the Bell
monopoly. We didn't expect to force
the trust entirely out of the field, but
we did expect you to go down the
line for us and give us at least suf-
ficient support to protect our invest
ment. We capitalized public senti-
ment, but we find sentiment to be an
unstable asset.
While it was simply question of
dividends, of which our stockholders
have never received a cent. we made
no complaint. But of late. despite
our best efforts, our revenues have
gradually diminished until they are
now much less than our expenses.
The result is a growing deficit in our
treasury and something must be
done soon, to prevent the threatened
failure of our enterprise.
When we came into TINS commun-
ity you gave us the glad hand. You
were all our friends. You had been
saddled with exorbitant telephone
rates. and those rates were about to
be increased. Our appearance in the
field prevented this additional ex-
tOrtion, and we received the unani-
nous thanks of the community.
But, my friends, we can't run T.
telephone plant on a vote Of thanks
Have you forgotten why we are in
this fight? Has the fire of battle
burned itself out? Are you willing
TO again submit to the arrogancy of
the trusts? Has it injected any oil
into its methods to make them less
calling than they were three years
ago? Are you satisfied to let our
stockholders fight your battle and
dig into their own resources fer the
sinews of war? If the public has
grown lukewarm and Indifferent why
should we keep up the fight?
Here is the situation at present.
Our plant represents an investment
of s30.000.00. We have bonded
Indebtedness of s25, 100000. The i'm
terest on this together with the cost
of maintenance, averages $292.50 per
month. Our monthly operating ex-
pense average 100000. while our av-
s377.50 per month. How long do
you expect us to keep up such an un-
erase revenue is about s115.00 per

CoIorado-Kansas Game OFF.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 17,-The
Kansas-Colorado football game,
scheduled for Oct. 10, has been can
celled. w. S. Lansdon, manager of
athletics at the University of Kansas,
announced yesterday that he had re-
ceived a reply to his telegram to the
Colorado athletic management and
that all chance of the game being
played is lost. The faculty and stu
dent body of the Western school were
eager for the game, but the members
of the team and their coach did not
feel they could afford to sacrifice
three players including their captain
in order to be eligible under the rul-
ings of the Missouri Valley confer
ence.
Subsequent to this announcement
Manager Lansdon stated that the date
left vacant on X. US schedule by
Colorado's withdrawal will be given
to Baker university. The Methodist
school at Baldwin is eager for the
struggle and the Jayhawkers are
more than willing to meet their old
time foes.

MRS. BROKAW GETS
ALIMONY OF $4,000
Court Decides Husband Able
to Pay This Annually.

Mineola, L. l., April 1.-THE decision Of
Supreme Court Justice Putnam in the suit
for alimony and separation brought by
Mary Blair against ". Gould Brokaw.
was recorded to-day in the county clerk S
Office
The court finds that Mrs. Brokaw is en-
titled to S1,250 a month as alimony. maxi
ing $1,000 a year. as previously allowed
He says this sum is amply sufficient for
her maintenance, and is not too much
for the husband to pay.
Some time ago counsel made a motion
before Justice Putnam in Brooklyn TO
have the court make known his findings
in the case. and this was done here to-day.
The court finds that the plaintiff is
entitled to judgment on the ground that
the defendants conduct rendered It un-
safe for her to live with him. The court
contends that the plaintiff was abandoned
by her husband at Great Neck, and had
10 remove to Manhattan.
Counsel for Brokaw had asked the court
to find that the plaintiff permitted an un-
married man TO occupy her husbands bed
chamber, and that access to this room
could have been had by the plaintiff. The
court included this in his findings. It was
not found. however, that the estate was
valued at nearly S2,OO0.O00, and that the
income was more than 100000, as was re-
ported by counsel when the request for
alimony was originally made

DRUGGIST BLUNDERS
ANDSEVEN AREDEAD
Whiskyin Dry" Town Came
i'll Contact with Poison.

Westerly, r. /. April u.-Seven dead
and possibly eleven. is the toll paid by
the no license town OF Westerly r. /, be-
cause some one in one Of the many
drug stores Of that town erred in mixing
the ingredients Of poor whisky.
It is known to a certainty that seven
of the deaths were directly caused by
drinking whisky which, in some way, had
come in contact with a poison, probably
wood alcohol. There are four other
deaths that the medical forces of the
town cannot explain.
The town is a no license town and keeps
a fairly tight lid on the drug stores
and kitchen barTooms But there was a
leak somewhere last week and most of
the leaks were at the same store. for II
is known that three Of the persons
dead bought the whisky of the same
firm for the purpose of drinking for
medicinal purposes.
1t is supposed that the whisky is either
of a poor grade, being made on the
premises, as only druggists know how %
manufacture it, or that in some way
the good whisky has become contami-
mated by a small amount Of poison in q
jug or keg of some sort.
The theory that the police are working
upon is that the deaths were caused BY
manufactured whisky in which wood al
cohoi was used by mistake. others are
sick about the town and it is feared that
more deaths will follow before the day
ends.
All the patients were taken with pains
in the stomach. followed by nausea and
vomiting of green fluid. Death came
after several hours.
The people Of Westerly have demanded
that some reason be given for the deaths
and It is expected that Tuesday morn
ing Attorney General Greenough viii de-
mand a thorough investigation, overstep-
pins the authority of the local examiner,
who persistently refuses to act

FIST FIGHT IN SENATE.
Rough and Tumble Affair in Mis-
sissippi Bribery Case.

Memphis, April 11.-That the investiga-
ton of the bribery charges in the Missis-
sippi senate with reference to the cleo
tion of United States Senator Percy has
caused great bitterness was proven to-
day. when Representative Frank Burkett
and Director of Archives and History
Dunbar Rowland INDUCED IN a rough and
tumble fist fight on the floor Of the senate
and for time threatened to break up
the days proceedings
This difficulty arose from partisanship
on the two sides of the question as 10
whether State Senator Dulaney offered
State Senator BilbO $1,000 to cast his vote
for Percy and then only paid $500 and
went back on the balance, or whether
any bribe whatever was rendered. Burk-
EFT and Dunbar began an argument that
finally led to the rough-house mix on
the floor.
8urkett, who is a larger man than his
antagonist, was underneath and getting
the worst Of the encounter when lie man
aged to gain the upper side and struck
the smaller man a blow with a cane
that rendered Rowland unconscious.

CHARGES ROBBERY
or REALTY OWNERS
Washingtonian Says Agents
Are VultuPeS.
HAUNT ASSESSORS OFFICE
Citizens Association, After Address
of W. s. HANSON, Adopts ResoIu-
tiOn Asking District Commission
ers TO Investigate and Urging a
Change of Old Methods.

". s. Ramson sprung a sensation at a
meeting Of the Northeast Washington
Citizens Association last night when he
declared human vultures' are entered in
a conspiracy with the assessors office TO
defraud property owners.
He declared real estate agents "roost"
at the assessors office and get inside
tips" about auction sales and limited
broadly that the spoils are divided when
choice piece of property is knocked
down to them
'VThe suspicion seems TO be little short
Of a certainty" he asserted, that there
is a conspiracy between these carrion and
the assessors Office whereby property
owners are skinned
Investigation Is Asked.
Hardly had Mr.. Ransom taken his seat
when resolution was offered condemn
| ing the methods Of the assessors s Office
and asking the Commissioners for an in
vestigauon. The resolution asserted the
assessor should notify ali delinquent tax
payers OF their arrears before the prop
eriy is pat up at auction TO be bought in
at ridiculously low prices by real estate
agents.
'The custom used to be that when taxes
were in arrears the owner would be nOti-
fed" said Mr. RamsOH. but OF late this
has been changed, and all that IS done Is
to advertise the property and put it up
at auction promptly
These vuItures who hang around the
Office know the status Of every piece of
property. and when II Il put up az auc-
tion they are somehow right on the spot
to bid 1t in at a small sum. so by the
time the owner realizes his property has
been auctioned off it costs him good
money TO get it back again. and his title
is always clOuded afterward.
1T is easy for property TO slip out or
ones hands through lack Of information
that should be forthcoming"
Methods Old, He Says.
He sharply criticised other methods at
the Office of the assessor. declaring the
Districts way OF handling property as
sessments is far behind the times.
Dr. d. S. Walter came to the front in
defense Of the school board. declaring
the Commissioners are trying to folst a
is not welcome to citizens.
The board has done excellent work, ,"
he asserted, and TO abolish it for a
single head would be a crime. The only
place a single head is needed is in the
Commissioners office. They don't seem
10 have any head there at all"
William J. Frizzen seconded DR.. Wal
ter's remarks, praising the board of ed
ucation and rapping the Commissioners
for meddling
The only reason the Commissioners
seem to have for abolishing the board, >"
he said, ''is that they have been especial
ly energetic in trying to get appropria-
tions to house school children properly"
A resolution was passed condemning the
attempt to abolish the board.

Indianapolis. Ind, April 11.-After con-

Indiana, Gov. Marshall has decided to
lead the fight FOR the naming Of Sena-

In his talks with party leaders he said
that he was not himself candidate;
that he would not accept the nomination
If 1t were offered him. but it was folly
to enter the campaign without some one

and the candidate must be a man Of
character and attainments.
