New York, Feb. 24-The Maiden

other diamond robbery which occurred
some time yesterday in une neart of

ton of the city. Despite the watch
fulness of the police and numerous pri-

trance to the vaults of the building
at 40 Maiden Lane and walked away
with a handful of gems valued at
$4,000 from the safe of Emanuel S.
Rose, wholesale jeweler.
The burglars worked quickly ana
skilfully. They were compelled to
use an explosive in getting to Roses

RESERVATION CLAUSE

COLORADO JUDGE ~JLES UNITED

RIGHTS OF WAY.

Montrose, Colo, Feb. 24.-Judge
Shackleford of the United States dis
trict court in chambers at Delta to-
day mode permanent an injunction
against the United States government
to prevent officers OF the reclamation
service from constructing large ca
nal through quarter section of home-
stead land which had been proved up
by John A. Masters.
Though patents foiHland issued by
the government since 1900 contain a
clause that has bearing upon a reser-
vation by the government to rights of
way, Judge Shackleford held that the
reservation clause is too indefinite to
be of any purpose. and the only way
the government can construct ditch
through the land is ~ due process {
law. The canal is the uncompleted
portion of the Uncompahgre Valley
project. The question affects every
reclamation project In the west.

ANOTHER CRISIS IN
AFFAIRS OF CUBA
VETERANS OBJECT TO COURT
RULING ALLOWING SPANISH
TO HOLD OFFICE.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Another cri-
sis in Cuban affairs apparently is at
hand. Reports from the island indi-
Gated that the unrest temporarily qui-
eted by Secretary Knox's recent note
of warning is about to break out anew
as a result of the Cuban supreme
court decision invalidating the Law
outsting officeholders who were Span.
ish sympathizers during the reyoiu-
tion.
Literal execution of the courts de-
cree would involve the reinstatement
of a large number of displaced ONCE
holders and dismissal Of the so-called
veterans who were put in their places.
With this in prospect, the leaders of
the Veteran association are said to be
in an ugly humor, and if they should
attempt to resist the decree, serious
trouble would ensue.

His last measure of vitality sapped

On him several weeks ago Frederick
Harris Pierce this morning at O'Clock
quietly passed away at the home OF
Mrs. Pierce in Owensboro, KY. While
on a business trip to La Junta, Colo.
early last month Mr.. Pierce was
stricken with an attack of penumonia
His wife and little son were summon
ed to his bedside. His condition i'm
proved somewhat and, upon the ad
vice of physician, it was decided to
remove Mr.. Pierce to lower altitude
where it was hoped he would recover
without danger.
Upon arrival in Kentucky, the state
of his boyhood, Mr.. Pierce did not i'm
prove His heart became affected and
the condition of his lungs grew more
complicated. At times he was un-
conscious. It was seen from the start
that there was little hope for his re
SE--S. but Mr.. Pierve's Wonderful con
stitution withstood the unequal fight
with death for several long weeks. His
relatives and friends both here and
in Kentucky hoped for the best but
they knew their hopes had little foun
dation. During the past ten days the
physicians in attendance were Obliged
to administer oxygen at frequent in
tervals. The failure of the heart was
the final cause of death.
News of Mr.. Pierce's death was re
ceived here with genuine sorrow. He
was one of Las Vegas most public
spirited citizens. He held positions
OF responsibility in business and civil
life and was always capable of dis
charging his duties in a way that re
flected great credit upon himself and
the people whom he represented
Nothing could be suggested for the
betterment of Las Vegas that did not
at once attract the attention and sup
port of Mr.. Pierce. Mr.. Pierce was
an excellent business man He was fal
seeing and often led the way in en-
terprises in which more conservative
men were slow to take an interest

filed suit against Clarence s. Funk
for 100000 in the circuit court. Funk,
who is general manager of the Inter

before the senatorial committee in the

he had put Lorimer over" and had
requested that the Harvester COM
pany contribute $4,000 to the ex-
penses of the election of William Lor-
inner to the senate.
According to attorney G. L. Allen,
who filed the suit, the action is for
slander. Attorney Allen declared it
was probable that no further steps
would be taken in the case until the
completion Of the Lorimer hearing in

the defendant was the cause OF the

jects turned out exceptionally wei;
which demonstrated Mr.. Pierce's Ions
insight and good Judgment.
At the time of his death Mr.. Pierce
was engaged in the completion of the
Camfield irrigation project Nearly
year ago, after many delays had
been encountered and the final com
pletion of the big reservoir and dam
seemed to be growing more remote
the Camfield Development company,
recognizing the ability of Mr.. Pierce,
asked his appointent as trustee and
contractor. Mr.. Pierce accepted the
task and went to work with a viii. He
revolutionized the system in use by
the construction gang, installing en-
tirely new machinery and working
along different lines. It was not long
until it was seen that remarkable
success was being made. Mr.. Pierce
did not close down work on the pro
ject until late in December last. when
the intense cold prevented operations
He had made such advances in the
work that he confidently predicted
that he would bring the big dam 10
completion before the close of this
year. And he undoubtedly would
have done so had he lived.
Mr.. Pierce was connected in many
ways with the business Interests Of
Las Vegas. For several years he had
been secretary and manager Of the
Aqua Pura company. It was Mr.
desire to render the best pos
sible service to the patrons of his COM
