IN TROUBLE
Messenger Service Manager Turns
Detective and the Denver Police
Board Orders His Arrest
Lett Boys Unpaid Here.

Ben +. Streifling, who had a some
what meteoric career here as mana
ger and founder of the Red Line mes
senger service and who left the city
owing several hundreds, including
among his creditors the young mes
sengers whom he had employed, is
in trouble in Denver. The following
from a Denver daily tells the story:
Benjamin F. Streifing, 1868 Will
liams street, has been arrested on a
warrant from Justice of the Peace
E. r. Morris's court, charged with
conducting a detective agency with
out a license. The arrest was at the
instigation of the fire and police
board.
"Streifling says he formerly was
in the detective business, but that he
is doing nothing in that direction
now, and therefore does not have to
obtain any license. The fire and po-
lice board says he is continuing de-
tective work, and in order to do so
must have license. The case was
continued until March s. Streifing
formerly was manager of the Red
Star messenger line"

Mr.. NC MULL|N
INTERVIEWED

81 am satisfied with Taft" de-
clared Samuel G. McMullin, the well
known Grand junction attorney, in
an interview In the Pueblo Chieftain
yesterday. He continues:
There is no real difference be-
tween the progressives and the Taft
people except on the question of the
recall of the judiciary. / am not
prepared to accept Roosevelt's propo-
stion of the recall OF judicial decis-
ions, because in all business affairs
and in life experience teaches us that
we must delegate responsibility to
someone in authority, and the great
problem that will confront the peo-
pie of this state and nation is how
to avoid making government too bur-
densome.
81 think the agitation over the So
called progressive measures is of less
Importance than the prosperity of the
country. | take off my hat to the
work first initiated by Senator Bev-
eridge and taken up by President
Taft to take the tariff out of politics
and treat it as an economic problem
to be solved by the tariff commission.
President Tafts corporation tax
is an important first step toward fed
eral Incorporation and supervision of
corporations engaged in interstate
trade. | believe 1t will become APP
parent that the so-called trusts are
as much of business necessity to
the commercial supremacy of the
United States as the building of bat
tleships, and I've believed for years
that the Objectionable features which
have grown up in their development
can only be eliminated by federal in
corporation and supervision.
'In expressing preference for
Taft | do so realizing that he has
made mistakes, in my estimation, and
with full appreciation of the ser
vices rendered by Roosevelt; but Taft
is in the midst of program which.
II carried out, will be of great per-
manent benefit to the country, and
he should be allowed a chance to do
1t.
I'VE are in the midst of a great
economic revolution, and it is bold
man who can foresee the future.
believe that the progressive doctrines
II carried to a proper point on which
men can meet in common, will do
the country some good and will make
things lastingly better; but | am con-
WINGED that, after all, good govern
ment is brought about by arousing
patriotic. unselfish motives in the
minds of the masses, and that it must
be representative, not direct"

Thompson, Feb. 26.-Just what pro-
ceedines will now be taken with refer
ence to the death Of Conductor Jack"
Riley is not known. The theory of the
physicians that death was caused by
poisoning has been fully corroborated
by the report received from the Drake
University. where part Of the stom-
ach was sent. Strychnine was found in
the stomach. according to this report.
Just in what quantity is not known,
nor is it Of material difference. 1t was
sufficient to cause death. The question
most interesting to his friends is how
1t there? There seems to be no one
who knew Jack who believes that he
committed suicide. No one seems to
know Of mis- getting hold Of this poison,
so this leaves the question about as
mysterious as it was before the chemi-
cal examination Of his stomach. When
Riley went out on his run he was in
usual good spirits. 1t appears when
he was taken sick he did 20 to a drug
store and got some medicine and went
back on the train. but he kept getting
weaker and weaker and before his
train pulled into Thompson he was a
dead man. A good many Of his friends
would like to see a thorough examina-
ton made.
