Another Sensation Is Sprung in
RoSenthal Murder Case.
GUN MEMS DOOM RAUATS HIM
Rose Wanted Men Only to Scare
Rosenthai and There Was No
Conspiracy to "Croak"
the Gambler.

New York, Dec. "Bridgie' Web
Der, one of the four informers whose
testimony convicted Charles A. Beck
er and the four gun men of the muir
der of Herman Rosenthal, returned
from Havana and issued statement
repudlating in many respects the
story he told on the witness stand
lie says there was no plot to muir
der Rosenthal. On the contrary, he
says, the gunmen Wen to the Hotel
Metropole to frighten the gambler,
but two of them got drunk and the ia
tai shooting resulted.
Prosecution Amazed at Story.
Frank Moss, assistant district at
torney, who conducted Webbers ex-
animation on the stand, said he was
amazed at Webber's statement,
This is the first time ! have ever
heard of such a story" said Mr.. Moss
IF he had said before the trial that
he did not know of any plot, of course
we would not have called him as a
witness"
Weber appeared nervous, but said
that he had no fear for his life. He
said that he never would have con
fessed if Jack Rose had not "squeal
ed" He added that he was haunted
with the thought of the four gun men
being in the death house and was not
able to sleep nights.
Says There Was No Conspiracy.
Rose" he said, kept telling the
gun men how strong Becker was, with
the idea Of getting them keyed up to
throw a scare into Herman The
plan was TO frighten Rosenthal so he
would not go to the district attorney.
Rose did say to the gun men: Why
you could croak Rosenthal anywhere
and Becker could fix it, but that did
not mean that they should croak him
1t simply was meant to impress on
them that Becker was so strong In the
police department he could square
even murder"

Clifford Pinchot is out with let
ter in which he deserts Senator La
Toilette and goes over into the
Roosevelt camp.
Pinchot says he is now convinced
that the Wisconsin statesman has
not those qualities of leadership
which the Progressives demand.
This desertion Is characteristic of
the Insurgent movement. Only a
few short weeks ago they met in
Chicago and with their hands upon
their hearts they swore allegiance
to La Toilette, as the one peerless
statesman who could Lead the Pro-
gfessisr cause. -.
But now when a series OF Incl
dents have weakened La Toilette
before the country. but in no wise
have changed his Progressive atti-
tude or his principles which were
lauded to the skies few weeks
ago. these Insurgents quit him and
go to Roosevelt. because they
think Roosevelt will get more
votes. not because he is n real
Progressive.
All OF which goes to prove what
we have always contended-the In
surgents are not dependable in
any way. shape or manner. An
agreement made by them today Will
be violated tomorrow. They will
deal with the Republican or the
Democratic party on offices and
platforms and then exercise their
privilege of voting for their own
people and against the others on
the tickets. They are independ-
ents, and not party men. and no
good can come to any party by
entering into an alliance or an
agreement with them. They will
deliver just as many votes If
they are ignored as when they
are ooddled.
And they will always exercise
the right to do Just as Pinchot has
done. of boiling their ticket and de-
sorting their leader whenever they
take the notion. Meanwhile, Sen
ator La Toilette. who started with
such high hopes and with such en-
thusiastic backing of the Pinchots
and Garfields. may well know:

fact that is proven from the man
ner that the work has been car
ried on during the weather of the
past few months, when ice formed

An inspection of the house boats
which are towed on behind the
dredge and in which the men eat
and sleep tells half the story of
the good feeling that exists among
the crew for they have as many
nome comforts as the average work
ing man and the table is much bet
ter than is to be found in most
hotels. The kitchen is model of
neatness and the sleeping quarters
are superior to the average board

Oh the civil war
The senator quotes official figures
when he says that during the iirst
year of tariff reform in Pennsyl-
vania alone there was a decrease in
the number OF persons employed OF
over ten and one7haf per cent; OF
nearly fifteen and one-half per cent
in the total wages paid, and OF
nearly a similar percentage In the
average wage. In the second year
of this democratic tariff measure
another eleven per cent was cut
from the average wage paid. with a
reduction of over sixteen per cent
in the value of products. This de-
cline continued Throughout Cleye-
lands term.
There came revulsion of senti-
ment. President Mckinley was
elected in 1896, and In the course
of time the Dingley bill was en-
acted. There followed revival of
business. Here are some of Pen
roses official figures:
In 1899 a marked increase is
shown in all lines in Pennsylvania.
In the rolled iron and steel indus
try there is an increase of 80 per
cent in the number of men employ
ed compared with 1896. and 81 PEE
cent in the wages paid. In pig iron
81 per cent Increase in men am-
ployed and 60 per cent in wages
paid. In tin plate work, an in
crease of 40 per cent in men en-
ployed and $50 in wages.

FORT LYON CANAL
Big Drelge Working Twenty-four
Hours Day Enlarging Sup
ply Ditch

Lyon Canal company, Just north OF
Rocky Ford. and see the most per-
fectly equipped dredge that has
ever worked upon any irrigation
project in this country. You will
find a very interesting sight. and
one that will well repay you for
the journey. On Monday of this
week the dredge was in operation
about quarter of a miles west of
Dyes lake. and is making progress
at the rate of 100 feet per day.
The work was started last August
from the headgate on the river
near Manzanola. and the ditch
has been doubled in size. up to the
present time. for 2 distanceof about
seven miles. For the first two
miles from the headgate the supply
ditch is 100 feet wide and nine feet
deep. and the directors of the Fort
Lyon have just recently decided to
install new headgate on the river
bank one hundred feet wide. After
the first two miles the ditch will be
doubled in capacity-from forty
feet wide and seven feet deep to
eighty feet wide and nine feet deep.
and about forty-five miles of the
ditch is yet to be enlarged to the
storage reservoirs on Horse creek
and Adobe creek.
During the month of January the
big dredge completed the work of
enlarging one mile of the ditch. but
IT is-expccted that progress will be
made at the rate of about two miles
per month with more favorable
weather conditions. Two and one
half cubic yrads of earth are exca-
waited by the big dredge every forty
five seconds-night and day.
The work is under the supervision
of b. F. Powell. engineer of the
Fort Lyon Canal company. Mr.. Pow
ers is an engineer who believes In
doing things and when he learned,
that the company thought favorably
of doing the work he got busy.
When he looked about for esti-
mates for dredging the ditch he
found that the very best he could
do was eight and three-fourths
cents per cubic yard and he at once
advised the company to buy n
dredge and do their own work. He
convinced the directors of the
