VICTIM ACTS AS DETECTIVE.

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. Mot con-
tent with the progress made by the
police to locate the man who robbed
him of $29 in the st. Louis bar Sat
urday evening, John Austin went out
sleuthing yesterday himself and after
searching around an hour or more
ran across the very man he suspect
ed with touching him, while he snoozed
in liquor dispensary.
With P. J. White in town Austin
met Officer Day and turned over the
alleged suspect and asked that he be
locked up. Austin and White are said
to have spent the evening together,
having taken several drinks, and feel
ing rather put out from the over-in-
diligence, Austin sat down in the sa-
loon to recuperate his mental facul-
ties.
He thought he had his roll placed
where he would be safe from robbers,
but White is said to have pulled off
one of Austin's shoes and there dis
covered the money, which he is charg-
ed with pocketing and abandoning his
chum of few hours.
When Austin awoke he was aston
ished to find his money missing. He
reported the matter to the police at
once and was given the assurance that
the robber would be arrested. Report
ing at the station yesterday morning
to know If the man who touched him
had been arrested Austin started out
man-hunting himself. He says he will
enter complaint against White and
will prosecute the case.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. q
Pixies Peak, the famous sentinel of
the Rockies, has issued challenge to
the world of aviators and it has been

Turpin, the two daredevil Wright bird

this grand old mountain. Will they
be able to do it? No one knows and
everybody is waiting to see. A few
hours will tell the story.
Parmalee and Turpin yesterday
stood upon the summit of the peak
and looked in speechless wonder upon
the almost endless vista of mountains
that stood below them on three sides
peak upon peak as far as the eye could
reach.
This afternoon these two young men
will attempt to break all previous avi-
alton records by sailing around the
mountain at an altitude Of more than
II 900 feet, thus not only eclipsing the
feat of sailing over the Alps but

Mayor Hood presided and all menu
bers of the council were present at
the regular meeting of the city coun-
Gil Tuesday evening. The minutes of
the regular session of July IS were

The reports, for the month of July,

In addition to the fixed expenses
the sanitary sewers will have to be
cleaned, $500 bill for the library
will have to be met, hose for the fire
department is to be paid for, and a
certain sum must be set aside for the
pipe line emergency purposes. The
aldermen urged that the different
committees keep the financial condi-
tion of their department constantly in
mind and govern expenditures accord
ingly.
Alderman Logan of the street de-
partment explained that the expenses
for the street work had been heavy
because the committee desired to do
the major portion Of the work now
while it is much more effective than
later.
Water Superintendent Redman pro-
posed having portion Of the spiral
pipe recently purchased hauled To the
Florida where a slide in the pipe line
is liable to occur. The hauling is to
be done by contract. The proposition
was sanctioned by the board.
The matter of reconstructing the
pipe line and placing it along a route
where the danger from slides would
be removed was considered. The pre-
liminary report on the proposed
change has not been filed. The re-
ports of former City Engineer Wig
ellsworth estimate the cost from
$4,000 to $4,000. Alderman Win
gate suggested that instead of hurry
ing the work a sinking fund for the
work be provided in the appropria.

thereby saving the city the interest
on bonds for fifteen or twenty years
Superintendent Redman stated that
the conditions were such that the mat.

BILE attention. At any time a slide
might occur and the water system bt
put entirely out of commission.
AS a result of the inspection oi
all sidewalks in the city, the street

pany did not think bridge built ac-
cording to Engineer Burdick's speci-
fications would stand the traffic. How

The woman who has been acting as
janitor of the city hall refused to con-
tinue in that capacity unless her sal
ary was raised from $5 to So per

Mrs. Ida H. Howell was appointed to
fill the vacancy.
Chairman Wingate Of the electric
light committee reported he had had
more interviews with Mr.. Clay Of the
Durango Gas and Electric Light COM
pany regarding proposed contracts,
the contract said to exist and the
Lotus franchise. The chairman read
the various proposed rates. At pres
ent the city is paying So per month
for fifty-two arc lights, but the light
appropriation for the year is not suf-
ficient to continue this expenditure for
the next eight months. Following a
suggestion of Alderman Jarvis, Mr..
Clay offered to increase the number
of lights to fifty-six and fix the rate
from Aug. l to April l to fit the ap-
preparation providing the council will
sign a ten-year contract dating from
April l, 1912. The one proposed that
seemed to meet the approval Of the
majority of the board being fer ninetv
arc lights at So per month. However
this contract must be entered into this
month. Alderman Logan held that the
contract should carry a reduction in
rate for private individuals. Mama
ger Clay declares the Durango rates
are the average rates of representa-
tive towns in the state. The matter
of the proposed contract vas refer
red to the electric light committee
with instructions to report to the couD-
Gil at the next regular meeting.
Bills for the month Of July, amount
ing to $4,861.68 were allowed.
Upon resolution the following sums

" II Is to Secure Justice From Organ
lied Capital. Says Woodrow Wilson.
Few public men have taken such
definite ground on the question OF the
rights and duties OF organized labor
as has Governor Woodrow Wilson or
New Jersey. In Il letter written to
one OF the labor leaders OF his home
state recently the governor said:
IL have always been the warm friend
Of organized labor. 1t is. in my opin-
ion. not only perfectly legitimate. but
absolutely necessary. that labor should
organize II 1t is to secure justice from
organized capital. aud everything that
1t does to improve the condition OF
wOrkngmen. to obtain legislation that
will impose full legal responsibility
upon the employer for his treatment
Of his employees and for their protec-
ton against accident. to secure just
and adequate wages and to put
reasonable limits upon the working
day and upon all the exactions OF
those who employ labor ought to have
the hearty support OF all fair minded
and public spirited men. for there Is
sense In which the condition OF labor
Is the condition Of the nation itself
The laboring man cannot benefit him
self by injuring the industries Of the
country. am much more afraid tina,

and trusts will do the country deer

TRIBUTE TO THE T0ILERS.
Humble Men Who Labor Are Americas
Might, Says Wilson.


In one of his recent addresses Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
paid an eloquent tribute to the toiling
millions whose labor has given Amer
lea its place among the nations. He
said:
You know how 1t thrills our blood
sometimes to see how all the nations
Of the earth wait to see what America
is going TO do with her power-her
physical power-her enormous re-
er to levy innumerable armies and
build up armaments which might CON
Quer the world.
But what has made us strong? The
toll Of millions of men. the toll OF men
who do not boast. who are incOnspic-
uous. but who live their lives humbly
from day TO day. and this great body
OF workers. this great body OF toilers.
constitutes the might OF America.
What is the manifest duty Of all
craftsmanship. therefore? 1t Is to see
that this great body of men who con
stitute the strength of America are
properly dealt with by the laws and
properly nurtured and taken care of
by the policy Of the country.

DISCARDING THE LABELS.
Woodrow Wilson Comments on tn.
Breaking Down of Party Lines.

1.-The country is awakening to n de
gree Of civic consciousness known be-
fore only in the period when the coun-
try was born" said Governor Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey In n recent
address. I'VE are scrutiniZing the men
who are conducting the government
We know we are living in an age of
complicated conditions. From all our
cities man after man tells me that new
er before have the citizens been SO
awakened TO public Questions-to the
Question OF public degeneration.
THE interesting thing Of our politics
now IS that men are not labeled. You
cannot tell from the Way II man voted
last time how he VIII vote Ili.' next
time. Men are beginning to fad out
that the safe line is the right line
The mere moral Impulse In me is
Of no force unless II can be translated
into action. 1t is immoral to propose
for the United States something that Is
not Of benefit to the whole United
States. II Is immoral to promote legis-
latiOn for your business unless il Is
also for the interest of the rest Of thp
country. Our government is not a p..-
