UNKNOWN MAN HURT
IN RAILROAD YARDS
THIS AFTERNOON

An unknown man considerably past
middle age was seriously, perhaps,
fatally, hurt in the Denver and Rio
Grande yards near the coal chute
about 1870 O'Clock this afternoon and
was taken to the county hospital for
treatment. He was walking along the
railroad tracks in the direction Of the
station when freight train came up
behind him and struck him in such
a way as to inflict injuries from
which it is doubtful that he will re-
cover. The engineer saw him and
whistled for him to get off the track,
a signal which he obeyed, but he did
not get far enough away to avoid be-
ing hit by the pilot of the locomotive,
which struck him at the base OF the
brain, fracturing the skull. He was
rendered unconscious by the blow
and the ambulance was summoned
and the unfortunate man conveyed
to the county hospital where DR.. Hart
Goodloe, the county physician and DR..
W. T. Little made an examination of
his injuries an dpronounced them to
be of a critical character
Nothing is known of the wound;d
man, except that he was for number
of years a miner and prospector n
the Leadville district, where he is un-
derstood to nave acquaintances and
friends. He had been to Pueblo and
Portland in search of employment.
but not being able to find any was OF
his way back to Leadville.

STATES INHERITANCE
TAX PROSPECTS GET
ANOTHER HARD JOLT

Denver. April 4.--The financial con-
dition OF the state treasury received
another decided setback n day or two
ago when 1t became known that the
Kountz estate which had been count
ed upon for 100000 in inheritance
taxes will be lucky II It pays $4,000.
In the estimate made by Treasurer
Kenehan as to the receipts of the
treasurer's Office the returns from the
Kountz estate was placed at 100000.
Imagine the surprise of the state Of
ficials when II is known that the stare
will barely receive one-third that
amount. And this amount is only So
cured through the fact that the reia-
tives of the deceased have not insisted
on filing all of the claims against the
estate. Personal pride is causing them
to fail to file several large claims.

LIKE TO HAVE
MADDOX MADE lmMIGRA-
TI0n COMMISSIONER

The friends of Secretary Maddox OF
the Canon City Business Mems Asso-
citation, both here and elsewhere,
would like 10 have Governor Shafroth
appoint him to the place on the state
board of immigration commissioners
made vacant by the resignation and
removal from Colorado of T. F. Ma
honey of Grand Junction. There is no
salary connected with the position.
but the appointment of Mr.. Maddox
would enable him to do more effective
boosting for Canon City and the Ar
kansas valley than is possible under
existing conditions as It would put
him in touch with nearly every family
coming to Colorado to make its home.
Mr.. Maddox, like Barcus, "is willin'. :"
but recognizes that for political rea-
sons hasn't got "a look in" for the
Job, although the commercial organ
izations from Salida down the valley
to the Kansas line have offered to
support him for the place. Mr.. Mad
dox is an ideal man for the job and
the only mistake that Governor Shat
roth could possibly make in his selec-
tion would be OF a political character.
Comprehending the difficulties in the
way of his appointment Mr.. Maddox
is making no effort to procure it.

1t is also said in Denver that the
report of a check made at Canon
City has been sent to Washington FOR
the perusal OF the postmaster general.
and that that official has exonerated
lewis Of any attempt TO violate regu-
lations OF the department
"The charges are the outgrowth OF
an attempt to make trouble for Lewis
by discharged employe, who was
tried and convicted OF using Cancelled
stamps at the last term OF the federal
court In Denver. Lewis came to this
city and helped the man out of bis
trouble as best he could and the EN-
ploye turned on him with the false
stories published" says a federal T.

The Denver official said that the
fact that the government had no;

way.

ANOTHER
MESSAGE ON
ECONOMY
President Taft Favors Adolf
tion of the Patronage
System.
(By United Press)

kby Oulttu ITeSSJ
Washington, April Abolition o.
the patronage system of appointses
as first and second class postmasters,
in the pension agencies, land offices,
internal revenue and customs SER
vices, and transfer of such political
jobs to the classified civil service list
of the government, was the sweeping
recommendation urged congress to-
day by President Taft in second
chapter" message on economy and
efficiency.
Select Officers ON Merit Basis.
"In the interest of an efficient and
economical administration of the vast
business of the government" the
president summed up, Il urge the
necessity for the Inauguration of this
important reform, and recommend
that the necessary amendments be
made to the laws governing appoint
ments, such amendments to take ef-
feet not later than July j. 1913, SO
that there may be secured to the peo-
pie the benefits to be derived from 9
conduct OF their affairs by officers
selected on a merit basis, and devot-
ing their time and talents solely to
the duties of their offices.
Would Save Millions.
I'm my opinion each of the fore
going recommendations If acted OH.
will largely increase efficiency. Di-
rectly and indirectly the change pro-
posed will result in the saving of
many millions of dollars.
This will leave congress free to de-
termine whether the amount thus
saved shall be utilized to reduce tax
alton or to provide funds with which
to extend activities already carried
on and to enter on beneficial projects
which otherwise could not be under
taken for lack of funds"
In the postoffice department the
president declared that Investigations
Of the economy commission indicated
that in many cases two persons were
paid for doing the work of one.
"As the annual operating expenses
of the first and second class offic IS
aggregate the enormous sum of more
than $4,000. .Oo0." the message SAID,
undoubtedly II the postmasters of
these offices were embraced in che
classified service and required to de-
vote all their time to the public SER
vice, the annual saving would amount
! about s4,5OO,OGo."
A further similar saving. the me3s-
age declared, would be effected by
abolition of assistant postmasters.
Pension Agents, Too.
An annudl saving OF nearly $bZ,-
100000 would be made. Taft asserted.
If pension agents were put in the
civil service list
More efficient work would be coup
led with economical administration,
he said, If the post of receiver at land
offices be abolished and the register,
given those duties in addition to mis-
own. and put on the classified list
Cut Out PolitieaIs AppoIntees.
Large expenditures are made for
salaries of political appointees. in the
internal revenue and customs SER
vice." the message continued. '.In
both direct saving in salaries and
an indirect economy through increas-
ed efficiency, would follow a transfer
of such offices to the classified ser
vice. wT
In the other field services, the
saving which would result from the
classification OF the local officers
under the departments is not as mar

Work of the Saloons

William Quigley stabbed Jack Barry
as the result of quarrel in a Pingree
Square saloon in Detroit one night last
week, and Quigley is now in Jail while
Barry is suffering from the result of
seven knife wounds in his back And
this was but one of almost a score of
crimes committed in Detroit saloons in
one week while council committee was
discussing the question as to whether
the list of saloons in that city should be
increased beyond the present total of
1852. Of the more than two score of
saloon murders committed in Michigan
during the very recent past nine of them
occurred in Detroit and we're the result
of just such saloon incidents as that
through which Jack Barry barely escap-
ed with his life last week. And yet with
1852 such places now in operation the
Detroit city council is giving further
precious time as to the question how
many more shall be added to that list.
