Sentinel Special Service.
Washington, Jan. 23.-It was
learned today that conference
would be called in few days of all
the Western senators and congress-
men to consider amendments to the
homestead laws which will. if possi-
BILE, prevent the constant movement
Of American farmers to Canada.
Congressman Taylor of Colorado,
an authority on land laws. is leading
the movement for a general confer
ence among the representatives OF
states vitality interested in the modi-
fication Of these laws. He will him
self introduce a bill today or tomur-
row practically substituting the Can
adian homestead law for the benefit
Of the United States.
Mr.. Taylor said today: 81 am con-
ferring with congressman and sena-
tors from the West with the view OF
a general conference of all interests
affected by the outra geous laws as
they stand at present.
Il am told that practically every
( man in congress whose state is affec-
ted by the law will cooperate in a
general plan for amendments The
lued Is lllbl lNFSt ltSiSldluGtS agree
upon a program and then go before
congress and demand what they want.
'1t is a matter of fact that we are
losing about 125. 900 farmers to Cam
ada every year, a class of people that
we can least afford to lose. They are
attarcted purely by the advantageous
| land laws of the dominion
"We should do something to pre-
vent the emigration For instance,
we should offer other encouragements
years to three for homesteaders and
ives hould offer other encouragements
to the people who take up these

final fall. This period lasted slight
ly over three minutes.
Du Cray showed himself to be in
fine trim. He had his speed, his
cleverness and his strength and he
displayed rare ring generalship in
keeping clear of his man until he
had a real opening.
IL is not too much to say that both
men underestimate their opponents.
Olson had no idea that Du Cray was
made of championship timber and be
had been successful in deceiving Du
Cray as to his real identity.
Olson has now challenged Bull
Olsen the giant Nebraskan, who has
given Du Cray two tough tussels in
this city. The latter has made some
talk about accepting Du Cray's Of
fer to meet the local man in a pri-
vate match and If he will accept
Olson's offer and come to Grand
Junction another go may be arrang-
ed between them.
In the meantime Olson proposes
to take to ranch some where near
this city. rusticate for at least
two weeks and carefully prepare him
self for any future bouts. Mountain
climbing, dieting and eXercisings will
be a part of his daily routine and
when he returns he will be as near
as possible to the former champion
of the world.

MY PRAYER.

Let me be true enough to meet each
honest eye,
Yet if a friend whose sorrowed
heart has been undone
Asks me for comfort where in truth
there can be none.
Then let me grasp his cropping
hand-and kindly lie.
And if my neighbor does those
things | think are ill,
Let me not judge! Who knows
what tangled, taunting skein
Fate may have woven TO have mesh
ed his heart in pain
Would / have soothed the evil
knot with half his skill?
Since | must play the game of life,
this is my prayer,
Though | may lose, let me pre-
serve a smiling face,
Let me not scorn the weak who falter
in the race;
Let me be merciful, let me play

HEAVY CHARGE
AGAINST HARTMAN

The alleged connection between the
men who blew up the Times building
in Los Angeles and Job Hartman, So
cialist leader and labor attorney of
that city Overshadows for a while the
main issue involved in the bribery
trial Of Clarence s Darrow.
Edward Adams Cantrell, another So
cialist leader, says that Hartman had
said to him on the morning of OctO-
Der 1st at San Luis ObispO, Cal:
by God, Cantrell. the Times build
ing has been dynamited and something
like twenty people killed"
That Hartman had taken Cantrell
to his room in a hotel, locked the
door, and then burst into a fit of laugh
ter, after which Cantrell said: What
does it mean" Hartman replied: at
means the boys are on the job"
That a few minutes later Hartman
said: 81 have known for some time
that preparations were being made TO
pull off the job" and that. in the re-
sulting conversation, Hartman told
Cantrell he had been in consultation
with the plOtters and had begged them
to postpone the matter until after the
state socialist convention.
