PROTEST is ENTERED
Against Any Legislation to Divorce
Railroads from Steamship Lines.

Washington, May 9.-E G. BucSiand
of Hartford Conn, vice president of
the New York. New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad and Joseph Howell of
Philadelphia, representing the Cramp
Shipbnilding Co, protested, today, be-
fore the Senate committee on inter
oceanic canals against any legislation
TO divorce railroads from steamship
lines.
Vice President Buckland contended
that ii was necessary for his railroad
to own steamship lines, even though
they competed. in order to handle the
great bulk of traffic that originated in
the New England mills and destined
fer markets in New YarlS and southern
points He said the steamship lines
enable the railroads to perform a ser
vice they could not perform as quickly
and eheaply If they were forced to di-
voree them.

LEvEE IMPROVEMENT URGED.
Senator Percy Asks for Liberal APP
preparation for Mississippi Work.

Washington. May 9.-In contending,
today. for liberal appropriations for
the Mississippi river. in the river and
harbor appropriations bill, Senator
Percy of Mississippi said that the
money loss caused by the present
floods, was twice as great as the cost
of a complete levee system down from
Cairo. He said the loss on the cotton
crop alone would amount to $4,000
600
Mr.. Percy urged the rapid improve
ment of the Mississippi levees as most
economical. Saying that the mainte-
nance of the levee system vas beyond
the powers of the people of the sec
tion he asserted that If Congress
should announce policy of withdraw
ing aid the region would become
waste.

first submitted to the judgment of the
country.
Premier Asquith wound up the de-
bate for the government in brief
and forceful speech which aroused
great enthusiasm among his support
ers. No serious attempt. he said, had
teen made by the Opposition to meet
the argument with which he opened
the discussior-the character and per-
sistence of the Irish demands. Had the
demand been made under similar con-
ditions by any community of their own
race throughout the Empire. there
was not a man on either side who
would not say that it was entitled TO
consideration.
demand SO persistent, continued
tie prime minister, was one which a
Democratic Parliament in these days
vas bound to assent to. IL the Irish
vote was eliminated in the House of
Commons, there still would be a ma
iority of so or so for home rule.
Referring to the repeats in Ulster, Mr.
Asauth said that he believed the Brit
ish people just and generous. They de-
tested intolerance and persecution in
any form, but they We're not the people
to be frightened out of what they be-
lieved to he just by language of intim-
idation. The government had asked re-
peatedly what further safeguards were
desired. but the only answer of the
Opposition was that they would re-
ceive from Ulster, nothing but un-
compi emising resistance.
Dealing with the safeguards the
premier said that If the Irish Parlia :
ment passed acts transcendng the
bounds the government had set, these.
acts became void. No one was bound
to obey them; no one could be pun
ished cor disobe wing them. The bill was
final in the sense that 1t was the set
Element of a long standing warfare.
bat ne one claimed for it that there
might not be a necessity hereafter to
modify some of its provisions or that
they We're moi going to proceed further
in the path of devotion.
In conclusion Premier Asauith said
that the claim OF ireland was of para
mount urgency. because there was no
part of the United Kingdom to which
the Imperial Parliament owed so long
ana SO deep debt.

A Plea for the Fish

1t is now drawing near the open season
for fishing, when lovers of the sport are
urged to remember the following recon-
mendations issued by G. H. Thompson.
superintendent Of the Estes Park Fish
Hatchery;
when removing an underslze trout
from your hook. always moisten your
hands before Rrasping the fish: other
wise the dry hands will remove the slime
from the back Of the trout. when it is only
a question of time until fungus sets in
and the fish will die.
Always kill your fish that are large
enough to keep. as soon as taken from
the hook. This can be done by giving it a
stroke with stick on the head, back Of
the eyes. 1t will avoid all suffering. and
make your fish far better for table use. :"

"THE CAMPUS"
A Great New Musical Comedy

- oECdt tNCW HAuStSoh SOnuCuy
It would seem that the limit had been
reached in the construction Of new musical
comedies were it not for the fact that
every now and then, there is a new dis
covery made in this profitable field Of
theatrical endeavor. Difficult as the
problem is. however. it has been solved
successfully by Walter DsLeon. the young
California author r-composer-aetor who
has written an entirely new and original
musical comedy entitled "The Campus"
which Ferris Hartman will bring to Rocky
Ford on May 6 at the Grand Theater.
This is the first time in numbers of years
that Ferris Hartman has appeared here
and there is no doubt that the reception
he will be greeted with will induce him
to return again each season with new
piece. Accompanying Mr.. Hartman will
be Walter DeLeon, the author and COM
poser Of the play, and Mics "Mugqins"
Davis, the charming soubrette. Those
two young people have just concluded an
Eastern tour in THE Campus" and bear
the highest testimonials from the press
and public of Denver. Kansas City, St
Louis. and Chicago. Tne company which
has been provided in support Of Mr.. Hart
man is large and capable and contains
nearly all the cast that originally appear
ed in the piece during its long run Of
2l2 performances in Los Angeles.
