1.-TWO BIT" BILL
The Coupling Together of the Two

Creates A Big Row


DENVER, April 15.-Governor
Shafroth's "two-bit" campaign bill
was made a special order yesterday
by the Democratic majority in the
senate late in the afternoon, not, how.
ever, until after the Republican mi
nority had made futile filibuster for
al. hour.
Senator Cornforth, one of the floor
leaders of the minority openly charg-
ed that there was deal between the
two Democratic factions and Governor
Shafroth whereby the "two-bit' meas
ure and the tunnel bill had been hook
ed together and advanced to special
orders as comrades.
II serve notice right here" declared
Senator Cornforth, that the minority
in this senate will vote against both
OF these measures. Such deal as /
believe to have been made is prohibit
ed by the constitution and denounce
it as species of bribery offered this

DEATH OF MRS. MINNIE DUF.
FIELD.

The news of the death of Mrs. Min
nie Duffeld, which occurred at her
home at Ignacio this morning, came
as a shock to many of her Durango
friends. Mrs. Duffield had been i'll
for the past two weeks from pneu-
monia, and few days ago took turn
fol the worse, passing away at an
early hour this morning.
Mrs. Duffield was sister Of A.
L. Pierce, formerly resident Of the
Animas valley, above lockwood, for
many years. With her husband, Rob-
ert Duffeld, and two daughters, Mrs.
Duffield came to La Plata county a
few years ago, locating near Ignacio.
She was a woman whose mental
gifts were above the average, well
educated and talented along several
lines. Before her marriage she had
been a teacher, and last year was
principal Of the bayfield, schools,
which during her term reached high
degree Of efficiency.
The people Of this community ex-
tend sympathy to the family left to
mourn the loss Of good wife and
mother.

STILL SAFE
Inspector Taylor Says That
laPlata CountyOrChaids
Are Uninjured

p. S. Taylor, horticultural inspec-
tor of La Plata county, who recently
returned from spending the winter in
Arizona, has put in the time since his
arrival on tour of inspection of the
trees of the county. When interro-
gated today in regard to the prospects
of the fruit crop this year, Mr.. Tay-
lor said he had found conditions un-
usually promising throughout this
county. The cold snaps have done but
trifling damage and that to n few of
the early apricots. There will be an
abundance of apricots left. The pears,
apples and cherries are safe, with ev-
cry indication of a heavy yield.
Today Mr.. Taylor is busy with two
assistants inspecting a big shipment
oe trees. The three have worked all
day and up till the middle of the aft
einoon condemned but three trees.
This is noteworthy compared with con-
ditions Of two years ago. At that
time, soon after he was appointed
horticultural inspector, Mr.. Taylor
had to condemn practically two-thirds
of each shipment of trees sent into the
county-at times finding as many as
three thousand poor trees in one car
load. The inspection has evidently re-
suited in making the nursery men
more careful in their shipments, and
has saved many dollars to the pur-
chaser.

DEATH BY FIRE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April l5.-Fire,

which has not been explained, en-
dangered the lives of 200 persons,
mostly women and girls, at building

Robert Mayer, who was found dead
this morning from burns in an en-

German of the salvage corps, was
knocked from a ladder by falling
brick and his skull fractured. He
will probably die.
That more did not lose their lives

sounded, found the buildings belching
flame and smoke from every window.

TAY[ORAT
HEN PARTY
Colorado Representative
Defends Cause Of
Suffrage

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1s.-
Representative Edward T. Taylor Of
Colorado, on the invitation Of the To-
cal Woman Suffrage association, at
tended meeting of that body last.
night with the expectation of making
the customary address on the beauties
of woman's vote and the collective
grandeur of the same when applied to-
ward ones election, just about that
much and then fitting away to an
other engagement, Jefferson day
celebration held by few hundred
Democrats. However, the jefferson
day doings had to be neglected alto
gether while he remained before the
suffragists and contradicted the state
ments of Mrs. Gilbert F. Jones, \
prominent anti-suffragist Of New
York.
Mrs. Jones told the assembled la
dies that things were in bad way
out in the region where suffrage
thrived. She declared that the four
suffrage states were absolutely domi-
mated by Mormons, that there are 49,
900 Mormons in Colorado, and $4,000
in Wyoming. Half the Colorado d.
vorces, she said, were caused by the
political differences between husband
and wife.
Congressman Taylor arose to de-
fend the fair name Of his state and to
clear equal suffrage of the stigma
cast upon it. Taylor gently let the
assembly of suffragists into the Sc
cret that Mrs. Jones statements were
false and added the word absolutely"
just to show he wasn't scared. He
said that Colorado had only one small
colony of Mormons and that possibly
there were not more than 500 in the
state. As an attorney, Taylor was
willing to assert that the court rec
ords of Colorado would not show a
divorce case which had been instituted
through political differences.
. Just to show that the influence Of
the women was stamped upon legis-
Luton in Colorado, he referred TO .
list of thirty-two measures now on
the statute books of Colorado through
the influence II the women voters Of
that state. Congressman Taylor re-
turned to his hotel late In the even

which gives the raised waist line.
The few separate skirts shown are
quite as wide as we have ever known
them, 2-14 to 2 1-2 yards at least, and
Of walking length.
Peplum jackets are decidedly prev
alent among the spring suit Imports
tions from Paris. The French women
have never taken kindly to our strict
ly tailored SUITS" which they consid-
cred too mannish. All sorts Of clever
little ruses are used to introduce the
individual and feminine note in Pa
risian apparel, the present method
being the peplum or skirted coat,
which may be long, short, plain or
fancy, according to the general style
Of the suit. Many of the demi-tailor-
ed models have the peplum attached
to the jacket from one to four inches
above the waist line. Often it is cut
to fit the figure, following the lines Of
the plain coat. The reason Of its pop
ularity is that the suggested waist
line admits Of many style develop
ments, such as buttons, braiding and
stitching. The peplum viii be popu-
lar because 1t no more belongs to the
slim woman than it does to the wom-
an Of embonpoint, though both may
adopt it with safety and the assurance
that 1t gives touch of individuality
even to plain suit. There is such
an infinite variety of ways to alter
the waist line and introduced odd fas-
Jennings that one is not surprised at
the number Of peplums on the models
Of French modistes, whose entire pur-
pose is to make no two suits alike.
Parasols show a greater variety
than usual this season, but whether
the variety adds to the charm ID .
debatable question, for many Of the
novelties are odd without being beau
tiful and on the whole the more IA
miliar shapes and simpler details seem
more attractive than the radical In

life at the United States naval acad-

a recent victim of snobbery at the
academy. 1t is said that Miss Beers
escort at the hop was given an init
