determined just what length OF time
a machine would last at top speed,
and IL the machine lasted longer
than this time, the foreman was
called on the carpet and asked to
explain why the machine had not
broken down, and the men stated
that men were worked the same way.
According to this system, when a
man starts to work on a casting, for
instance, every operation is timed to
the second, the standard being adopt
ed from the fastest workmen on the
job. All the other men, who are not
so good are compelled to come up to
this standard, or submit to a fine as
we'll as a reduced scale OF pay. The
Taylor system demands the cheapest
class of labor obtainable more than
high class mechanics. It seems to
me that the American flag today pro-
tects the rich mans interests rather
than those of the masses. What we
want is to place it in the hands OF
someone who will see to it that il
means equal freedom to all. Let

FALL ON STAIRS

Crash of Falling Body Is Heard by
Son Who Hurries to Her Side
Death Comes Quickly.

In attempting to descend the cellar
steps TO fix the furnace in the base
ment of her home, 945 Twenty-first
street, at Ii so this morning, Mrs. Eliz-
abeth P McQuaid in some way lost
her footing and pitched head foremost
to the bottom of the staircase, alight-
ing on her right temple. She partially
regained consciousness a few moments
later. but died before the physician
who had been summoned arrived. AT
the coroner's inquest held at the home
this morning, the jury brought in a
verdict in accordance with the facts.
Mrs. McQuaid had been i'll for
the past two days, and last night was
unable to rest. walking the floor the
greater part of the night, and from
time to time snatching a little rest
by lying on the couch in the sitting
room. Shortly before o'clock, as the
fire was getting low, she decided to
throw some more coal upon it, and in
trying to descend the steps, lost her
balance and fell a distance of prob
ably 10 feet to the bottom of the stair
case.

Mr.. and Mrs. Clement P. McQuaid,
who were sleeping upstairs, heard the
crash, and Mr. McQuaid rushed to the
spot where his mother was lying. She
had partially regained consciousness,

what were you doing down cellar?'
she replied that she was going to fix
the furnace. The injured woman then
asked for a drink of water, which was
given her, after which Mr.. McQuaid
/ telephoned for the police and a physi
clan. When Officer Fitzgerald arrived
Mrs. McQuaid was breathing but faint
", and all efforts to arouse her vert
in vain, and when the physician arriv
ed life was already extinct An exam
ination disclosed the fact that no bones
were broken. The forehead was no
cut open, and it is thought that the
force of the blow on the temple wa:
the direct cause of death.
NATIVE OF IRELAND.
Mrs. McQuaid was born in IrelanC
about 60 years ago coming to thi

There is now on trial before
Judge Shattuck of the district court
in Denver an important action, in

Hishline canal and brought in be-
half of a dozen or more bitches that
take water from the Platte river,
against a score of the bitches To-

1t seems that after careful in

over a period of two years. positive
evidence was obtained that a large
number of bitches in the South

ing the Highline, were persistently

of such unlawful acts is now sought

directors of the company.
The building, known as the old
Halves property. has been remod-
eled, added to and improved at the
expense of $4,000. An excellent
system of plumbing and steam
heating plant has been installed.
The rooms formerly occupied by
Sanborn & Houston are now given
up to the Seely-Fournier Drug com
pany, new office building has beer
constructed on the east, which If

and prevents shadows in any parts
of the rooms.
The improvements have been
made regardless of the financial de-
preston and the block is an addi-

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEMBERS
HEAR HOW THINGS ARE DONE
IN OTHER PARTS OF STATE

The Commercial club members
who attended last Monday nights
supper at the Camheld got fair
insight into the methods of CONNER
cial clubs of other towns over the
state. The clubs guests were mem
bers of the Association of Colorado
Commercial Club Executives, which
We're in session in Greeley during
the day.
Club secretaries and other offic-
ials from Denver, Pueblo, Colorado
Springs, Boulder, Fort Collins, Erie
and other cities were present and
made brief talks on the work of
their associations. Secretary Jen-
kins of Pueblo told how the entire
Arkansas valley are meshed with
an organization so closely that half
a day suffices to get into touch with
eeyry club in the valley when occa-
sion arises. He strongly advised
Greeley to join with other clubs
of northern Colorado for district
organization.
Secretary Deland Of the Denver
Chamber of Commerce told of the
work of his association in interest
ing the school children of sixty
schools last year in writing letters
to out-of-the-state friends boosting
the state after they had been post
ed by competent instructors as to
Colorado's resources. The work OF
the Chamber of Commerce, he said,
had got past the point when it was
all for Denver. 1t has come to a
broader realization of the scope OF
the work before it, and has learned
that anything and everything that
helps the state at large, is direct
benefit to the capital city, and that
the brotherly spirit that helps the
other towns is better for Denver il
the end.
A. w. Henderson, secretary o
the Colorado Springs Chamber o
