here from Galveston without a dol

These cases would doubtless be re-
peated if Grand Junction induced
many of the southern people who
lost all they had in the Mississippi
valley floods to come to Grand val
ley.
1t is a practical plan. One of the
most energetic citizens and boosters
of the city this afternoon declared
that it is a splendid chance for Grand
Junction to give aid to scores of
needy and Industrious families, made
needy by no fault of their own, and
at the same time bring to us many
new permanent citizens of most
desirable type.
Let the city. through its mayor,
extend an invitation to the southern
people made destitute by the floods
to come to the Grand valley.

cially during the harvesting Of the
Elberta peaches.
Tens of thousands of worthy and
industrious people are homeless and
practically destitute in the south as
the result of the appalling floods
along the Mississippi and other riy-
ers.
Appeals are being made for aid
for these people. 1t is said that
hundreds of families need only an
opportunity to get settled in new
home. no matter how humble that
home may be, in order to prove that
they can take care of themselves and
that they are citizens of most de-
sirable type
Grand Junction and the Grand
valley are wanting new settlers
There are many acres here to be
cultivated.
Grand valley will need an army
of harvest hands from the outside
this summer.
Then with these two facts appar-
ent, why not make inducements tc
get scores of these worthy families,
homeless as a result of the floods. to
come to the valley and settle here.

New York, May with a clear,
bright day, all is in readiness for the
biggest women's suffrage demonstra-
tion in the history of New York city.
Preparations for the great parade
have been going on for nearly year,
and 5000 women and men have
asked for places in the line.
The parade is scheduled to start at
5 o'clock and will end at the Carneg-
lie hall for a mass meeting at 6
o'clock.
The men marchers, who are ex-
pected to number fully 5000, are dis
appointed to learn that Colonel The
odore Roosevelt has declined to lead
their division.
The program provides for IL divis-
ions, led by an equestrienne squad Of
a hundred riders, with band and a
company of outdoor suffragette ora
tors, each carrying her little green
platform swung like knapsack
across her shoulders.
The IL tn division, bringing up the
rear of the parade, has been assigned
to Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont's organiza-
tion of department-store clerks, pre-
ceded by the newly organized baby
carriage brigade.
The 10th division, which will COM
prise the regular members OF the
women's suffrage party, has hired a
dozen bands for their section, and has
provided each member with yellow
pennant and tiny yellow electric
torch.

Chicago, May 4.-The strike of the
pressmen on the principal Chicago
daily papers took on more serious
aspect today when the stereotypers in
all the offices affected left their work
in sympathy with the pressmen.
The walkout of the stereotypers

condense this mornings papers. Only
one edition was issued and this was
without advertisements. 1t is ex-
pected that the afternoon papers to-
day will act similarly and issue only
one edition in a condensed form.
Some shooting was done in front
of one of the newspaper buildings
this morning as the newspaper wag-
ons, under a guard of policemen. was
being loaded. No one was injured,

WICKERSHAM MAKES A REPORT
CONCERNING ACTIONS OF
JUDGE ARCHIBALD.
HOLD FURTHER INVESTIGATION
Associated Press.

Associated IIeSS.
Washington, May 4.-Attorney
General Wickersham sent to the ju-
dietary committee of the house today
the results of his investigation of the
charges that Judge Robert w. Arch
bald of the commerce court had used
his office to secure favors from rail-
roads.
II is Understood that the attorney
general recommends a further inves-
tigation at the hands of the commit
tee to determine whether or not i'm
parchment proceedings shall be
brought.
One specific allegation against
Archibald is that he is interested in
the proposed purchase of the culm
banks owned by a coal company that
is controlled by the Erie railroad. 1t
is asserted that these piles of refuse
coal were to be bought for compar-
atively small sum and sold for
profit of from s25. to $4,000, of
which Judge Archibald was to receive
one-third.
The charges, it is said. were pre-
ferred in connection with an inter
state commerce case by William Bo-
land of Scranton. Pa. Because of
their seriousness, President Taft in
structed the attorney general to in
vestigate the matter and report to
the house committee.
