COMMERCE CHAMBER WILL ASSIST:
so WILL The TRADES ASSEMBLY
Denver Will Have A W00Ien Mill Bankers and Bust
ness Men Take Matter Up. Committee
Favorable.

j. II. Bearrup, by months of unceas-
ing work, has succeeded in interesting
Lenver business men as well as the
leaders in organized labor in the estab-
ishing in Denver of a wooden mill. He
is assured of the cooperation of the
Chamber of Commerce and his plans
nave been favorably received by the
pubic institutions committee of the
trades Assembly, and is now completing
plans for the contamination of the prop
osition.
1t is believed, following the commit
tees communication to the chamber in
which cooperation is expressed the
matter Will receive the unanimous en-
dorsement of the assembly Sunday.
The patron earning plan, as fostered
and exploited by Bearrup, who is wool
expert and has received recognition from
authorities on the wool question, has the
endorsement of 100000 people and
their promise to patronize his output
They are:
Farmers Educational and Cooperative
union, Society of Equity, the Grange,

management, and will include the fol-
lowing:
Wool commission and warehousing;

featuring; garment manufacturing; knit
goods; glove manufacturing; purchasing
and sales department with publicity ia
cilities
At the outset 1000 union men and
women will be employed. This number,
as the industry develops, win be in
creased to a possible 10000.
The successful manufacture of wool
in Denver and the merchandising of the
finished product will increase the sheep
industry of Colorado three-fold. which
Will mean a revenue of S25, ,000, 900 in
place of the $l,250.0O0. the present an
nual income. according to literature sent
out by the chamber, endorsing Bearrup't
plan.
There will be 100000 in stock issued
at $40 per share, par value. 1t is first
planned to sell $4,000 shares to create
fund of s15OOO0 to launch the industry.
The stock shall have an earning not
per annum. All other earnings shall go
TO the credit of patrons, subject to the
stock issued to them.
There are 10000, 600 pounds of wool
directly tributary to Denver. The presi-
dent Of the Clearing House association
of Denver says there is easily available
S4,O00,000 TO loan upon this wool to the
grower upon warehouse receipts at COM
raratively low rates of interest.

eovernmen. Affected BY Strike.

washington-The result of the textile
workers strike in Lawrence. Mass. de-
moralized conditions to such an extent
in that industry that the government
was compelled TO withdraw its issue of
olive drab cotton fabrics used in manu-
featuring service clothing. Not until
the present week were conditions suffi-
ciently improved to again honor requisi-
tions for clothing to the organized
militia. Information coming from the
Bureau of Labor is to the effect that the
widespread labor difficulties of New
England during the past few months has
caused the cancellation of scores Of pri-
vate contracts. and that undoubtedly
many government contracts have been
held up for the same reason.

the Forefront OF the Progressive Movement

Judge Ben. B. Lindsey of the
juvenile court, Denver, has been
selected by Col. Theodore Roosevelt
to head the National Progressive
party in Colorado. A better selec-
ton could not be made Judge Lind
sey has been in the forefront of the
progressive movement in this state
for years, and he has the respect and
confidence of the people of the state
as was evidenced by the large vote
east for him at the recent municipal
election. The National Progressive
party has been launched by that
element in the Republican party that
has broken away from corporation
control of the great Civil war party.
Although the nomination of Gov.
Woodrow Wilson by the Democratic
convention will have tendency to
weaken the third party movement,
vet the issue remains clear-cut in the
ranks of the party: The political
parties must be in the hands of the
people and not in the hands of the
special privileged class of the ma
ton. Judge Lindsey can be de-
pended upon to carry out the prin-
ciples outlined for the new party, as
he has ever fought for those very
principles in the past

MISUNDERSTANDING and complications
The Columbia League is much more
concerned in the preservation Of the

Commission and the strict regard for
the constitution and rules Of organized
amateur baseball than in any selfish
Id T1Hg h1~ fr--#
aftiliatton OF any club, no matter how
attractive. with the Columbia League.
In the controversy with the Capitol
City League regarding the Sewage Pump
ing Station Club, the Columbia League
had reason to believe from the repre-
sensations that were made to it that tht
Capitol City League was disrupted and
dismembered. In fact some Of the mem
bers Of that league so regarded it and
so informed US. Acting on this inforrna-
THO, We accepted the application Of the
Sewage Pumping Station Club for mem
bershIp.
Upon the showing made before the
amateur commission, ii developed that a
league can not be regarded as auto
matiCauy disbande. and for the purpose
Of releasing its clubs and players an af-
1rmative declaration OF that fact must
b. made by the commission,
After a most complete discussion. in
which both sides fully presented their
conflicting contentious, the amateur COM
mission decided that the Capitol City
League was entitled to all its rights in
membership and to the membership Of
the Pumping Station Club.
The Columbia League accepts that de-
cfsiOn and Will abide by il with hearty
loyalty. and if the Pumping Station Club
ever becomes a member of the Columbia
League, it will have to be done in full
accordance with the rules of organized
amateur baseball, and, furthermore, the
Pumping Station Club will not hereafter
in the light Of present facts play any
more exhibition games with clubs Of the
Columbia League on the Columbia
League grounds"

as Sweeper II, an American horse. which
had showed up in the betting as a strong
favorite. was unplaced. Jaeger was Sec
ond and Tracey third. Twenty horses
ran. Tracey is owned by August Bel
mont, the American banker and turf
man.
Though the Americans lost 800, 900.
with which they had backed Sweeper II.
owned by r. II. Duryea and rode by
Danny Maher, an American jockey, they
gained some consolation from the fact
that II was another American jockey
that piloted Tagalie TO victory. This was
Johnny Rein. who in 1857 rode Richard
Croker's Orby when that speedy horse
captured the great turf classic.
The morning betting on Tagalie was 100
to ?. 1t is estimated that more than 500
600 persons saw the race.
BOOkTakers made the biggest cleanup
they have ever made on the Derby. every
one of the favorites falling by the way
side The distance of the race was one
mile. four furlongs. and twenty-nine
yards.
The defeat OF Sweeper II, which had
won the 1000 guinea stake. was attributed
to the extra half mile which he had to
travel in the Derby to-day.
The Englishmeu were jubilant over the
victory OF a British entry, although this
rejoicing was tempered by the fact that

get in the money The King took his loss
