La Junta tribune., 1912-12-21
Art Wells Speedy Yeuno Man.

II there Is ore thing more eXas-
perating than another /, is for a
hostess to invite guests to her home
at 5 O'Clock for bridge whist and
then have some OF them come a half
or three quarters of an hour later
Such was the case Tuesday night
when a young social bud arrived at
party after much delay. But Ar.
thur had most sxc>ilsnt excuse
one really out OF the ordinary. and
one which created No much inter~st
when told by the hero OF the story
that 1t was perhaps worth delaying
auction bridge for.
Now 1t seems that Art who was
most fortunate last evening in be-
ing the escort of two OF Pueblo's
very popular and attractive South
Side society girls. WAS driving his
car at a high rate OF speed through
Union avenue when he was accost-
cd by an officer who invited him
and his friends To the city hall AZ
ter protests and excuses were found
of no avail. they complied with the
officers request and accompanied
ing. Such an incident was OF so
unique and unusual nature to the
girls. and OF course to Art. too.
that they considered II rather light.
ly and one which would add inter
est TO their diaries But when Art
had to part with perfectly good
SO bill before proceeding to the
bridge affair. he did not think II
so amusing although he had lots Of
fun telling the others Mt the party
what they had missed. The guests
had little sympathy for one OF the
girls as they said II served her
right for being out after dark with.
out the attentive care OF her ply.

 Big Western Influence.

 Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Bor- ah held a long conference on the train and it was said that in a few days the senator would make public state ment of the position he will take in the political lineup of the campaign. Colo nel Roosevelt promised to the north west in his speech here that if he were elected president he would inves- Ngate complaints which he had re ceived that the policy of conserva- ton of the forests was working to the injury of the small settler and playing into the hands of large lumber com panies.
 Colonel Roosevelt was led to speak of the forest conservation policy to- night, he said by the fact that since he had been in the northwest he had talked with q number of men who said small settlers on timber claims in some cases had not been treated fairly.

.ll-YEAR OLD BOY
 SERIOUSLY SHOT
SINGLE SHOT FROM GUN PENE. TRATED HIS LUNG WHILE
 PASSING ON STREET.

One of the most distressing ac. cidents that has been recorded in this city for number of years was that of last night early when shot gun was accidentally discharged in the Williams wagon yard on Hawthorne street, across from the court house and one small bullet from the gun entered the body of Eddie Patetrson 11-year-old son of James Patterson who resides at Vista Heights.
 1t was at first believed the shooting would prove fatal within an hour bu, late last night it was stated the boy had more than a fighting chance for his life. Hemorhages were stop ped and the boy was resting easy and hopes were entertained.
 Father and son were walking along Hawthorne street when a shot rang out. One small bullet from the dis charge entered the boys breast. | penetrated lung and he bled inter nally, until it was believed after a preliminary investigation by physi cians. that he would not survive.
 The shooting was purely accidental A negro farmer had come in from the country and had q shot gun in hii wagon, loaded with small size shot He took the gun from the wagon when he put up a. the yard and stack ed it away in the feed room.
 Later. Ansel Teague. who resides near Cove Creek, came in and was busy about the feed room looking aft CT feeding his team, when he knocked the gun down It was loaded struck just right, and the shell exploded.
 The shot tore through the sheet metal wall of the wagon yard build. ing, and scattered into the street. Al the time it was not known anyone had been injured until the echo of a cry of pain was heard, and it was found that the little boy had been struck by single shot.
 No others of the many shot in the load hit the boy, and no other per sons were struck The boy was hur riedly removed to a place of tempo rary relief Drs. Bush and Connel were summoned. They observed that the bullet had entered the lung. and that the boy was bleeding severely from she wound.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILL PER- soNALLY SUPERVISE TAKING
 OF EVIDENCE HERE.
HOWELL SENDS AfFIDAvITS
whitman Feels Sure That His Cause Will Be Helped by Getting Closer In Touch with circum-
 stances at This End.

New York. Sept, l2.--District Att torney Whitman, accompanied by As- sistant District Attorney Rubin. will leave here tomorrow for Hot Springs.
 :, to appear befroe the commission appointed to take the testimony Jf persons who talked to sam Schepps, a witness in the Rosenthal murder case. while he was in custody in that city.
 The prosecutor said tonight that the Schepps testimony was so important to his case that he had decided to be on hand personally to cross examine the witnesses who, according to the defense, have stated Schepps told Them that Police Lieutenant Charles Becker had nothing to do with the Rosenthal murder.
 Mir. Whitman sail that the defense had added George w. Howell. captain
 0. p1-see of Hot Springs. to the three witnesses named in the~<motiou for
 the appointment of the commission. but declared his confidence that the
 defense wanld find that Howell's tes- timony would be of little value to beeker's case.
 III view of the fact that Mir. Whit
 man has received from two of the
 witnesses stslegFa1ns sayiag that they had never heard Scnepps say anything in defense of Becker. it was said thaS he district attorney might make sln investigation to determine whether improper methods had been used in apy.3ing for the commission. one et- feet of which was to postpone the trial until october [
 For the purpose of establishing precedent to prevent in the future tho procuring of delays in similar man. Ter, the prosecutor obtained today an order from Justice Bischoff requiring the defense 10 show cause why the appointment of the commission should not be set aside. Argument on the order will be had tomorrow, but no iinmediate decision is expected

COMPLICATIONS Of
 THE PARCELS POST
EXPRESS COMPANIES WILL ASK A DISAPPOINTMENT THAT RATES
 MAY BE ADJUSTED.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The new complications in the adjustment of ex- press rates by the ineterstate com merce commission.
 Last July the commission ordered radically changed the methods of the operation of express companies and suggested a system of rates and rae making to be consedered by the ex- press officials. Tentatively Oct g was fixed as date on which the com mission would hear from the express companies and shippers reasons why the proposed rates should not become effective.
 Into the mass of figures of the tens of thousands of rates suggested in the order, many errors crept, to correct which, the commission announced il would issue a supplementary order It probably will be furnished in a few days, in view of the unavoidable delay in the issuance of the corrected order and iR view of, also, the new parcels post 1stem which affects decidedly the express companies. it is practically assured the express officials will re quest postponement of the october hearing. that they may have opportu- nity to check and compare the par cels post rates anu the commissions rates with their own
 It is probable the commission may regard such a request as entirely req s0nable. 1t is desired to secure an amicable adjustment of the express rate structure, to avoid long period of litigation.

Genuine AffIdavits.

The decision of District Attorney
 whitman to make personal visit to Hot Spnilgs, as announced in the above. no doubt resulted yesterday through the receipt in his office of an affidavit from Captain of Police ueorge w. Howell and 3 supporting affidayit from Douglas Hotehkiss.
 George Howell in his affidavit. which was telegrapned to MT Whit man. after being sworn to, stated how
 immediately on the arrest of Schepps. Eowe.l was made his personal cus- to, and how during all the tiine. until Schepps was delivered safely in- to the custody of District Attorney Wlhitman's men. Howell was always ,resent when Schepps was talking.
 Howell stated positiveiy in his af- fidavit that Schepps had, not made any statement that he had ever heard that might bee construed as exculpat ing Becker from the Rosentnal kili- ing
 Howell also closed his affidavit with the ilfor nation that iiie 'hstd not heara any statements from Schepps that might be of advantage to the defense cf Becker. but that if all the detils of what Schepps had said to him were !, be reviewed. it might proved helpful lo the case of the state.
 x was not long after this affidavit was telegraphed to MT. Whitman that If was apparent Mir Whitman was surprised Whether he had believed that Howell, Hotchkiss. Pettitt, and probably Wadley of the News, or sullivan of the New Era, had furnish cd affidavits along the line it was mis- represented they had. or whether he was surprised to find they had not, Is q matter of conjecture.
 At any rate it is reasonably certain that when Mir. Whitman came into 2 fairly full statement of the situation here, following the departure of c. D..
 ..arns. who had worked on the case here for the Becker side. he decided that he would accompany District A. A. | torney Rubin here and make this irstance of efforts to delay. an ex- ample for futuxe occasions.
