Business in the Senate.

With National politics, there is also
national legislation. The latter is TO-
GUESSING largely in the Senate, but the
other end of the Capitol may catch fire
at any moment. Sure, the House did
vote in favor of Impeachment proceed
ings against Circuit Judge Robert w.
Archibald, of the Commerce Court the
other day. 1t was done with only one
Dissenting vote, rather a notable pro-
ceeding. And that puts the question up
to the Senate. "Wnl you try Judge
Archibald right away?" mo- comes
thunderous chorus. 1--WE will get away
from this hot place as soon as we can
and let Judge Archibald have his trial
next winter when it is cooler"
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding, if
Judge Archibald decides that he wants
that trial right away he viii get it. The
Senate will sputter and grumble but it
will sit and hear Judge Archibald. The
accused alone will determine the issue
as to an early or a late trial.
But that is not the end of Senate tur-i
MOL There came groans of despair
Just when the end of the Lorimer case
was approaching. Aged senators, weary
of the oppressive heat, were specializing
how they would rush the appropriation
bills through and speed the adjournment
of Congress probably by August 1. Then
there doomed the specter of protest
from Great Britain about our giving
American coastwse vessels the right to
pass through the Panama Canal with
out paying tolls. They claimed it would
be i'm violation of the ayPauncefote
treaty, guaranteeing equal rights to the
vessels of all nations. Tremendous mat
tiers of advantage in trade were at
stake.
The Department of State sent the com

direct to the senate That rufied the
brows of the old timers, who are stick
lers for the prophecies. The House has
already voted for free tolls for eoastwise
vessels The Senate is apparently ready
to do so. What party can afford now to
offend the anti Britishers in this eoun-
try, including hundreds of irish Societies,
by yielding to Great Britain?
So there will be long debate in the
Senate thereon. The learned men must
prepare speeches. Senators Root. Lodge,
O'Gorman and many others must speak
at length voeng their differing views.
The debate will take up two or three
weeks easily. 1t is a serious matter to
offend Great Britain. Some way must
be found out of the muddie and II must
he a way that is entirely honorable to
this government.
The House is getting along a little
more comfortably. The electric fans are

Washington. Apr. 27-Thomas H.
Moore, the captain of the Canadian
Pacific's steamship Mount Temple,
arrived in Washington today for the
purpose of testifying before the sem
ate committee which is investigating
the late Titanic disaster
The Mount Temple was not far
from the Titanic at the time of the
catastrophe; but her officers contend
that, although aware of her distress.
they could not have reached her in
time to be of any service, on account
of the dangerous icebergs that filled
the sea.
Two steamers and a schooner were
only short distance away from the
Titanic when she sank, according to
the testimony of Captain Moore to-
day. The ice pack was barrier that
held back the vessels that were hur-
rying to the rescue, and the Mount
Temple did not arrive at the spot
where the Titanic sank until two
hours after she had gone down.
Captain Moore said that the wire
less operator on the Mount Temple
intercepted the Titanic's calls for
help, and that, Immediately upon be-
ing notified of the message. he
turned his ship toward the crippled
liner.
On his way he saw the lights of
"a schooner which was within few
miles of the scene of the tragedy and
was coming from that direction; and 4,
when daybreak disclosed the great
field of ice ahead of the Mount Tenn
pie, he discovered a tramp steamer
near by. The identity of neither the
schooner nor tramp steamer was dis
covered.

May 10 Holiday Good
Roads Day Is Observed

Mayor Thomas NJ. Todd today is
sued his official proclamation fixing
May 10 as Good Roads Day, as a
general holiday to be observed in
this city. The day was originally
fixed by Governor Shafroth as a re-
suit of the action of the past legisla-
ture. The idea in the first place
came from Fred c. Shaffer of this
city, who proposed it at a meeting in
Pueblo last winter.
In Grand Junction the day will be
observed by all persons who can
leave their business places and par
ticipate in the good road work. The
work for the day will be systematic
ed and organized efforts will be
made to have certain specific dis
tricts well improved. The Fifth
street hill will be given special at
tention, the road TO Delta will be
cleared of rocks and box culverts in
stalled where small washouts make
fast travel impossible and other
work accomplished on the Mesa
county end to make this a highway
over which many autos can travel
during all seasons of the year. In
Fruita and Palisade rough roads will
be repaired and an effort will be
made all over the county to put the
roads in the best condition possible.
Many business men who cannot
themselves participate in the work
have arranged to close their stores
on Good Roads day and hire sub
stitute to do a full days work un-
der the supervision of the county
commissioners and the committee in
charge of the work,

SUCCUMBS
TODAY
The Venerable tist-Physician of
Fruita, for Many Months Suf-
ferer, Passes to Reward-He
Was Known Nationally
for His Researches.

Dr. James NJ. G.. Beard, for 20
years a resident of Fruita and a sci
enlist of national reputation, died
this afternoon at 1880 at his home
in Fruita.
While the people of that village
were not unprepared for thee end,
the announcement this afternoon
that he had passed away was receiv-
ed as a distinct shock by the entire
community. He was well known to
practically every citizen of the lower
valley and had the love and respect
of all who had come in contact with
him.
DR.. Beard. while a physician of
unusual ability, was particularly no.
ted for his scientific researches in
the field of astronomy and as an au-
thority on the X-ray. He was a mem
ber of score of scientific societies
and often went to lecture before
them on his favorite subject. He
had in his office an X-ray machine
of his own manufacture and his
home was equipped with one of the
most mod ern and complete observa-
tories in the west He had library
filled with the best authorities on
the sciences in which he had delved
and he had made himself one of the
most highly educated scholars in the
entire state.
Although his mental equipment
fitted him for practice in the largest
cities of the Union, DR., Beard pre-
ferred to reside in Fruita, carrying
on an active practive for many years.
DR.. James Madison Gilmore Beard
was born 81 years ago in New Hamp-
shire He was educated at Ann Ar
Dor university. but after leaving his
alma mater he removed to southern
Kansas. where he was married. Lat
er he went to Benton county, Indi-
ana, where he resided for 5 years
in active practice of medicine. He
then removed to Saguache, Colo. and
for a long time resided in that city.
Twenty years ago he came to Frui-
ia, where he maintained his resi-
dence until his death.
For the past six months DR..
Beard had been troubled with a
bladder complaint which attained Sc
rious proportions about seven weeks
ago. He was kept alive only by
his wonderful vitality during the
past two weeks. In fact. his physi-
clans have been hourly expecting his
death during the past fortnight and
have held no hope at all for his re-
coyery for an even longer period.
The funeral arrangements have
not yet been made, but will be an
nounced tomorrow. DR.. Beard left
two sons-Edgar l.. and John Beard
Both were at his bedside when the
end came. Hon. o. c. Skinner, who
had known him for the past 80 years.
