Call Has Been Sent Out for Coiora-

in Supporting Uncle
SANS Policy

The Colorado delegation at the
Public lands convention IN Denver
which begins tomorrow, VIII De IL
vided on the question OF federal ao-
minjstration or state handling OF the
public lands. A well defined move
ment to support the government mas
been started at Colorado Springs so
that the delegates from other parts
of the state who will fight for state
rights in the premises will nave OPP
position.
The following call mas been sent
out to all delegates:
A Convention has again been
called to meet in Denver, Tor
the purpose of denouncing the
National Conservation Policy,
with the ultimate design of
having full control of the Ma
tional Resources transferred to
the respective states in which
they lie.
We believe that such poll
cv. so subversive of existing
conditions, is not in accord with
the high ideals of the American
people and that united effort
is necessary to prevent the en-
croachmenl of special privilege.
The dates named for the
Convention are September 2Sth
TO October Cd. inclusive. Under
the call, counties are entitled to
ten delegates; towns and cities,
one delegate for each one
thousand inhabitants; agricul-
tural and horticultural socie-
ties and commercial organiZa-
tions, ten delegates each.
Although the time for select
ing delegates is now limited,
it can be accomplished If you
act without delay.
This organization is prelim-
mary to an organization OF
those Colorado delegates to the
Convention who are in favor of
National Control of the Nation
al Resources and delegates are
urged to be present at the pre-
liminary headquarters, The Me-
tropole Hotel. at eleven A. NJ,
on September 2sth, in order
that united action may result.
Please communicate prompt

tary your intention to be pres

LORIMER MAY R SI5N
Majority In Senate Said TO Be Ready
to Vote Him Out.

Washington, Feb. 6.-1he forceful-
ness of Senator Roots speech in the
senate on Friday az iis, he validity
.of Senator Lorimer's title 70 rep.e eat
Illinois in that body, and the intent
ness with which it was followed not
only by his colleagues. nearly all OF
whom were present. but Dy memters
of the house and others entitled 20
the privilege OF the floor, have tended
not only to confirm the widespread
conviction that nothing but a success
full flibuster can prevent The discred'
tied blond boss" from being either
busted or forced to resign, but that
those who may be in favor OF resort
ing to such desperate measures will
not now dare to do so.
Prior to Mr.. Roots speech It was
still doubtful how the senate would
decide. Enough senators to turn the
scale either way had not yet made
up their minds. Since that speech was
made, little doubt remains that ma
jority of the senate stands ready TO
declaer the seat vacant, and 1t is now
freely predicted that Lorimer himself
does not dare face a vote, but will
evade the issue by resigning.

Camaln That Ride.

The Bedouins decorate their baggage
camels In the most fantastic manner.
A huge pack saddle is surmounted By
a stiI larger pannier. Above this
again Is n sort OF chair in which the

camels when too young to go on long
tricks being carried in these panniers,
and they are always used for the Be

This tribe has many quaint and curl
Gus customs. Perhaps the most curl
Gus OF these Is the manner In which
they show their esteem for certaip
strangers. One evening when young
mel had been killed for the meal
aptlced the women collecting the
blood In a bowl. Then, to my aston
Ishment, they started painting my
camels on the necks and tanks with
the blood. Unknowingly Twas the

can be paid a stranger. The blood
dried on and remained for a long
time, acting as a talIsman among all

Philadelphia Kills Man at Warren,

N. H., In Dispute Over Watch.
Warren. n. H., Feb 6.--Chrstopher
Kenney, of Lancaster. N. H., was shot
and instantly killed in a room in the
Moosllake hotel here by J. Walter
Shields, of philadelphia, who has been
here for more than two years in quest
OF health.
Shields is well known in this vi
cinity, and the impression prevails
that he is man of considerable
means. Both men had been drink
ing before the shooting.
Frank Whitcher, proprietor of the
hotel, heard considerable noise. He
told his wife he intended going to the
room TO ask those inside to keep
quiet
When Whitcher stopped at the door
he heard wrangling within, and with
other remarks heard it mentioned that
Shields had lost his watch. Kenney so
Whitcher says. responded that he did
not take it, and still further empha-
sized his remarks by saying that he
would sOundly thrash him (Shields).
Then. according to Whitcher, Shields
made an oath and declared he would
shoot Kenney. Three shots rang out
almost instantly. and as Whitcher
stepped aside from the door two mere
shots sounded and the bullets crashed
through the panels across the hall
into the room on the other SIDE OF the
corridor. Shields was arrested

NO PRECEDENT

1t has not been the practice for many
years for men holding public Office to
resign from one Office in order to make
a campaign for another one. Governor
O'Ferrell retained his seat in congress
until elected to the governorship, If we
are not mistaken; Mr. Montague did not
resign the, attorney generalship in order
TO make his race for the gubernatorial
nomination, nor did Mr.. Swanson in his
unsuccessful contest Of that year resign
mis- seat in order to conduct his cam
oaign, and four years later, when he
was nominated and elected he continual
to serve in the house of representatives
Until within few days of the date of
his inauguration as governor Of Vir-

Jrecedents which can be cited in urging
q contrary course upon Mr.. Jones and

Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee;
We miss thee everywhere.
Rest, dear grandfather. thy work

Thy willing hands shall toll nc

A better friend we could not find
Sleep on, dear loved one, sweetly
rest;
We needed you. but God knew
best;
Gods. will be done, He doeth well,
But how we miss you no tongue
can tell.
Our grandfather is sleeping so free
from all pain;
He slumbers so fondly. OH let

OH God, we will try to live each
day
That we might join in that Heav-

BODY
Find No Trace of Body of
Richard AShhurSt.
WILL PATROL ENTIRE BEACH
Discovery of Cane on Pier at Allan
tic City COnvinces Police Off,
Gals Philadelphia Post
master is Dead.

Atlantic City, Feb. 6.-Watohmen
dragged the bed of the ocean under
Young's million dollar pier in vain
for a trace of the body of Richard l..
Ashhurst, the Philadelphia postmaS
ter, who disappeared a week ago.
Starting close to the spot where
the missing mans cane was found
the searchers worked around both
sides and OF the end Of the pier with
grapples and long poles, and the
searchers believe they have reached
every Granny in the substruc,ure OF
the pier where the body might nave
been carried and lodged by the tide.
Fear that the corpse might have
been drawn into the big revolving
wheels OF one OF the experimental
wave motors close to the spot where
the cane was found. caused Chiei
Woodruff to order a search Of every
point OF the ponderous machinery that
could be reached Working from
temporary staging hung from the pier,
a detective examined the ten-ton wave
motor wheels, but could find no sign
Of the body, which would probably
have been crushed had It caught in
the big revolving cylinder.
The men engaged in the work OF
dragging are expert watermen and
will continue to drag and search the
currents which might have carried the
body away from the pier.
The police have gone back to their
original theory that the missing man
either fell or jumped from the pie
They explain the failure Of the body
to come ashore on the theory that II
may have either been carried down
the beach by the current or caught
under pier fishing nets or in the nall
studded piling
Interest in the disappearance of the
Philadelphia federal official is intense
and hundreds Of people crowded ;he
pier and boardwalk to watch the work
of the policemen and their helpers.
Up until the discovery Of the cane
resting against the railing Of the pier
the police had begun to wayer In { cir
first belief that the missing postmas
ter was dead.
Work attempting to trace him away
from the pier had failed Of all definite
results, however, and not one OF the
several witnesses who say they saw
the old man the night he disappeared
could give any definite Information.
Local police officials declare that
they have no autho'ity to offer a re.
ward which would stimulate the hunt
for the missing man by the addition
OF watchers who would cover tae
beach and surf for miles. Government
detectives were given definite instruc
lions to make close patrol Of the
beach and to watch the SURF for the
body.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY

President Tsft's determination to
secure the adoption Of the Canadian
reciprocity agreement, which has
long been the dream of many people
in this country, is predestined to
meet a stormy course in both
branches of the Congress and is sure
to cause a most peculiar alignment
of forces, in which Democrats and
Republicans, progressiyes and stand
patters, will be Unfortunately mix
ed together. The South viii in all
probability be found almost united
for the trade agreement on the
theory that it is a long step in the
nature of tariff reform, and New
England for obvious reasons will
align herself on the same side. From
the West and North. however. WHO'RE
the farmers. whether right or wrong,
believe their interests will be jeop-
ardized by the treaty. will come the
most strenuous opposition, and when
the final lineup comes it is possible,
and not only possible but entirely
probable, that majority of those
supporting the measure of Repub-
lican President will be members OF
the opposition party. We believe
that the Virginia congressmen orc
senator's should uphold President
Taft in this matter because we be-
lieve he is right and because in a
measure this reciprocity with Canada
will tear down part of the high tariff
wall which the Republican party has
erected around the country and lead
to its eventual lowering at all points
Mr.. Taft in urging the measure Is
no doubt actnated only by his con-
victions, since from a Republican
party standpoint it is one of doubt
ful expediency.
