DEATH TO THOSE
WHO HELP REBEL
CAUSE IN MEXICO
Limantour Says Americans Who
Take Part In the Revolution
Must Take Chances of
War.

Washington, March 14.-The
state department today asked the
Mexican government to release
Blatt and Converse, the Americans
held prisoners at Juarez, Mexico.
The government of Mexico was
told that the state department
information showed the men had
been arrested on American soil.
New York, March 14.-What
may be considered in effect the
official Mexican reply to recent
representations said to have been
made by the United States asking
as liberal treatment as possible for
Americans caught bearing arms
on Mexican territory is contained
in a statement made here this aft
ernoon by Jose Yves Limantour,
Mexican minister of finance.
In substance it is indicated that
captured American allies of the
revolutionists will have to take
their chances with their Mexican
companions. The intimation is
strong that no preferential treat
ment can be accorded them. This
is considered to mean that under
martial law they might be sum-
marily tried and executed.
Minister Limantour, after read
ing all dispatches from Ell Paso,
Tex, outlining the alleged activ-
tiles of Americans in Mexico, par
ticularly in the destruction of rail
road property and in the supply
of arms and ammunition, said he
could not help being greatly an
noyed by such reports.
He added that Americans who
allied themselves with the insur-
rectionary movement can scarcely
expect protection longer under
their own flag and it would seem
obvious that they should take
their chances when committing
depredations upon property under
a foreign flag.
MIR. Limantour was firmly con-
WINGED that except for the SYM
pathy, financial support and act
ual participation in conflicts Of
Americans the instruction in
Chihuahua and Sonora could not
long continue.

And though the body molders here
Ihe soul is safe in Heaven.

The Future of Our Boys

Mr.. Franklin, Editor.
Dear Sir: Since the public has in
terested itself in my private affairs
and since the rumors are harmful to
any youth whose life is before him. |
take this opportunity to state facts
which can be investigated if still cur
ious, and which can concern only the
meddlers and evil wishers.
There is a certain period in every
boys life when his education is not
his chief thoughts. In some boys the
tendency to waywardness is stronger
than in others. Everyone knows who
lives here that Denver is full of
places which nourish and stimulate
this restlessness found in the minds
of growing boys.
There are among the whites mill
tary schools which restrain by strict
discipline until this period is passed,
and at the same time continue the
boys education.
After finishing the grades. If col
ored boy should prefer atrade to the
nigh school course, it is well nigh
impossibilty for him to accomplish
the desire, owing chiefly to his color.
l find after investigation that the
State Industrial School is the only
| pioNS PoooioiS WHcTe lne COlOTeQ DOy
is under discipline sufficient TO make
him acquire that which in after years
he will be proud of.
My boy did not commit any offense
against state or society other than
most boys at his age are doing every
DAY, that of wasting precious mo.
ments in having a good time"
We, his parents, had him placed in
the Industrial School at>Golden in or
der that he could learn, trade. con.
tinue his studies and avoid, at least
until he is older, some of the rocks
that wreck the lives of far too many
boys.
We put him there not to punish. but
to be benefited by the opportunities
offered there, which could not be 9TH
erwise obtained. and we can at Will
bring him home If we SO desire at
any time.
Hoping that this explanation will
satisfy the busy bodies. ! am,
Very respectfully,
IDA c. DE PRIEST.

TOO MUCH TALK AND TOO LIT
TILE EFFORT.

In the neighborhood of Five Points
thousands of dollars are spent annu-
ally for groceries. clothing, millinery
and the like. A big percentage of
this is spent by colored people. 1t
seems to us that such conditions are
an opportunity for someone. We are
so used to complaining over lack of
opportunity that we talk rather than
look for a way to better ourselves.
There is no market for linen collars

trade conditions are established we

quartets by the men filed out two
hours of entertainment that kept the
audience in an uproar of applause.
Words cannot reproduce the sweet
harmony they made, nor do justice to
the satisfaction they gave. They re-
ally live up to their title of the great
harmoniZing octette on earth. Special
interest attached to the performance
because of the presence of Virginia
Greene. prima donna. who happens to
have lived in this city formerly Her
clear fute-like notes of tremendous
range stamp her a singer among sing
ers. Mr.. G. l.. Johnson, the tenor,
was no less a favOrite. Mrs. Williams
of contralto voice had stage pres
her an audience -pleaser and having a
good voice was always welcome. How
ever, individual praise ought to in
clude them all, for Mr.. Crabb's bass,
Mrs. Hobbs dramatic singing, Mr. Will
liams' comedy hits, and j. Fl. John
sons taking OFF of the minister were
all good. Rev. Over and the choir of
the church are adding to their already
good reputation for purveying good
entertainment.
While in this city the company was

brother, w. w. Dancy of West Tenth
