But their anger was not their worst

When you meet a stranger you re-
veal your own character in what you
ask about his. With some, the first
question is, who are his people?"
With others, What has he achieved?"
With others, How much is he WORTH"
Each gauges his cordially according
to his estimate.
The porter was not curious on any
of these points. He showed a demo-
cratic Indifference to them. His one
vital inquiry was:
How much will he tip?"
His inspection of his first two
charges promised small returns. He

Chicago.-Dashing through a heavy
fog at the rate of sixty miles an hour
rushing past all signals and even ig
noring the cracking torpedoes placed
on the track as last desperate effort
to avoid a wreck, the great stecl-jack
eted Omaha mail train on the Burling

Springs. Fourteen persons met in-
slant death, two died while being
rushed to the hospital. and forty were
injured. at least four of whom are

evening.

eighteen miles west of Chicago. The
mail train, running nine minutes be
hind, was wrapped in fog which hung
like a death pail over the scene of the
tragedy of a few minutes later. The
engineer failed TO gee the signals
against him, and when he heard the
popping of the giant torpedoes hun
dred yards behind the stalled passen-
ger trail 1t was too late.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington.-By a vote of SO to 2s.
the United States Senate took away
from William Lorimer his seat as jun
ior senator from Illinois. His elec-
ton was held to have been invalid
and he was declared to have been
the recipient of votes obtained by "cor-
rupt methods and practices"
Lorimer has been n member of the
Senate since June IS. 1909. The first
suggestion of fraud in connection with
his election became public in April
1910. when Charles A. White, n men,
ber of the Illinois Legislature, swore
that he had received 81 900 as bribe
for voting for Lorimer.
The Senate by its action reversed
the majority of its own investigating
committee and changed its vote of
March l, 1911, when Lorimer retained
his seat, 46 to 40.
Technically, Mr.. Lorimer will pass
out of the records of the Senate as a
member of that body, Notwithstanding
his more than three years occupancy
or his seat.
Facing his associates with the dec.
laration: Il am ready" Mr.. Lorimer
sat in the chamber and heard his fate
decreed as the roll call showed the
adoption of the resolution of Senator
Luke Lea of Tennessee, the Senate's
youngest member. The men who for
three days had held the Senate to
close attention with his remarkable
speech OF defense and attack upon his
enemies, rose wearily from his seat
and passed back to a cloak room
door.
Senators and members of the House
gathered about him, grasping his
hand and patting him on the back.
Outside the Senate door as Mr.. Lori
mer stepped into the corridor, friends
greeted him again, and party of Sis
ters of charity pushed forward to ex-
press regret at his expulsion.

U. S. Grabs colorado Water.

Denver-The Interior Department
at Washington made it known Tor the
first time recently that the United
States government filed on 100000
acre feet of the waters of the Rio
Graude river in 1906 and that in 1908
it filed on all the unappropriated wa
ters of that stream and its tributaries.
The information became public in Il
letter from Samuel Adams, first assist
ant secretary of the Interior Depart
ment, to the Denver Chamber of Com
merce. 1t was in response to the reso-
lutions recently adopted by the cham
ber in regard to the water rights in
the San Luis valley in connection
with the refusal of the department to
grant rights of way for reservoirs and
canals upon the Rio Grande and its
tributaries.
The correspondence between the
chamber and the Interior Department
easily opens to the people of Colorado
the biggest issue which is before it
today, and which threatens to become
national in its character.
The federal government in this com
munication admits that it has appro-
priated for its own use the waters of
one of Colorado's greatest watersheds
and that it intends to use this water
for the benefit of New Mexico. Mex.
leo and Texas under the big Elephant
Butte reservoir.
The government by this action de-
prives the people of the San Luis val
ley of the right to reclaim their own
lands with the waters of Colorado in
order that the people of two other
states and of foreign nation may ben
eft thereby.
The state of Colorado owns 250.000
acres of land in that section from
which the right to file has been with
drawn, and 1t is estimated that this
land would be worth at least $4,000,
900 with water upon it.
Resolutions were adopted calling
upon Governor Shafroth to protest to
President Taft against the Illegal &C.
tion of the Interior Department IL,
withholding the right to file on the wa
ters of the Rio Grande.
The resolutions provided that II nee
essary the governor should bring suit
in the federal courts to protect the
rights of the state. Copies were sent
to the secretary of the interior. Pres.
ident Taft and to Senator Simon Gug-
genheim. All three of them reached
the interior Department.

WASHINGTON.

In a speech in the Senate. Lorimer
agrees to resign if proven guilty OF
wrong doing.
The July crop report given out by
the government gives these condi-
tons: Winter wheat, 1913 of normal;
spring wheat. 1913 and corn SIS.
The lines have been drawn for a
great diplomatic struggle between the
United States and Great Britain over
the question whether this country mac
discriminate in favor of American
vessels in the administration of the
Panama canal. The question may go
to The Hague tribunal. A series of
diplomatic and legislative conferences
developed that the forces in the Amer
lean government which favor allowing
American ships free passage through
the canal are in control. These forces
take the position that there is moth
ing in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty to
prevent this concession.
The Senate will oppose the House
in its determination to abolish the po-
sition of receiver of public moneys
in Colorado land offices and else
where throughout the country. The
sundry civil bill. as reported to the
Senate. contains an appropriation OF
S2s0,000 for the salaries of receivers
for the present fiscal year. The
house refused to include this item. The
Senate Increased the appropriation for
public land surveys from S45O,O00 to
100000. The bill provides $4,000 fo-
the Irrigation Congress to be held this
year in Salt Lake City and increases
the appropriation of the bureau of
mines 100000 for the investigation of
metalliferous mining The Yellow
stone park appropriation is increased
from $4,000 to s227.OOO which in
cludes $4,000 for widening the roads
in the park.

Express Rates Are Cut.

Washington.-Sweep reductions
in express rates, averaging, in general
approximately 10 per cent: drastic re-
forms in regulations and practices,
and comprehensive changes in the
methods of operation are prescribed
in report made public by the Inter
state Commerce Commission of its
investigation into the business of the
thirteen great express companies of
the United States. Dealing with the
identity of interest between the vari-
Gus companies. the report finds that
by stock ownership and otherwise the
express companies are so interlaced,
intertwined md interlocked that
while these companies operate sepa-
rately and compete with each other
for traffic, the express business may
be said to be almost a family affair"
