A Safe Place,

1t was at dinner party. The bright
young man sat next to the young
woman with beautiful arms and neck.
The fair companion suddenly exhibited
signs of nervousness. Two Of his best
jokes passed unnoticed. Her face wore
a look Of alarm. 81 am in misery" she
said "In misery?" echoed the man.

man looked at the beautiful arms. No
sign there. "Why, where were you
vaccinated?" he asked surprisedly. "In
Boston," she said, the smile chasing
away the look Of pain.

|. {. BROWN DIES
FROM FALL
Wealthy Telluride Banker Mine
Owner, Known Here, Crushed
by Fall in Mine.-Death Is
Shock to Whole Region.

Ira r. Brown, until a few weeks
ago cashier of the First National
Bank of Telluride, and a wealthy
mining operator of that city, was
instantly killed this morning by
a fall down an upraise in the Nell
lie mine, miles from Telluride
on Bear creek
Mr.. Brown, who was well known
to scores of Grand Junction peo-
pie, had been devoting his time to
his lease on the Nellie mine since
his retirement from active work
in the bank the first of the year.
A few days ago he went to the
mine, and had been looking il
over carefully, preparatory to Or
dering work done during the
spring. He went up the upraise
and was looking at the vein when
the miners near by heard terri
BILE cry as his footing was lost and
he plunged downward to the main
drift, distance of more than so
feet.
The alarm was Immediately
sounded, and his wife, DR.. Anna
+. S. Brown, and his partner,
George Hall, were sent for. With
the workmen, they entered the
mine, and, after a long and diff
cult entry, were able to find his
crushed and bleeding remains.
The slopes are so narrow that
the party could only travel single
file, and the progress with the re-
mains was necessarily slow. When
brought to the light, it was found
that the body had been crushed
into an almost unrecognizable
mass.
Mr.. Brown was a heavy stock
holder in the First National Bank,
had large mining properties in
the Telluride district, and was as
ISOLATED with the Telluride Power
Company in several of their sub
sidiary concerns. He has a fine
orchard near Delta.
Mr.. Brown passed through this
city on his way to and from Salt
Lake City few weeks ago, and
while here met several former Tel
luride people who now reside in
this city.
The funeral arrangements have
not been made.

From the dawn of American his
tory the press has been one of the
mightiest factors in our progress
civilization. The press moulded pub
lie opinion in the Revolutionary and
Civil wars.
Mr.. Walker cited several instances
in which the press, with sincere and
noble purpose, has righted wrongs;
and other instances in which the
press, insincere and mental, has been
ingloriously defeated. The press is
the most potent factor in influencing
modern thought. The newspaper is
teacher as well as a historian. 1t
helps to regulate the morals OF. a
community 1t is the duty of the
newspaper to believe everyone inno-
cent until he is proved guilty.
The speaker gave many interest
ing facts concerning the large cir
culation of newspapers and maya
zines and the immense amount of
money which is paid by the public
for standing advertisements in pa
pers of wide circulation. He said
that the people in New York alone
read five million newspapers daily.
There are over one hundred daily
papers in the United States having
an average circulation of over one
hundred thousand each.
In speaking OF the yellow newspa-
pers, MI. Walker stated a sad truth
when he said The yellow paper
exists because public taste de-
mands it. Why is it that people pre-
fer to read a lie rather than the
truth ?"

men he paid glowing tribute to
Colonel Henry Watterson, calling

STARTLING IS
COMMITTEE
REPORT
]. P. Morgan Was Paid $4,000, 900
for Organizing Steel Com5ine.-
In Nine Years That Combine
Cleared Over a Billion
Competition Crushed.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 29.-The
house steel trust investigating com
mittee has made public the result of
the inquiry into the books and min
utes of the United States Steel cor
poration conducted by Farquhar j.
McRae. an expert accountant.
The McRae report reaches conclu-
sion that the steel corporation oper-
ates in restraint of trade and prevents
competitor through manipulation of
prices, through the influence of the
so-called Gary dinners" by control
of raw materials and through a sys-
TEN OF interlocking directors in va
rious companies. 1t also intends to
contradict some of the testimony Civ
en- by steel trrst officials.
Some of the figures dealt with in
the report are startling. 1t is shown
that j. p. Morgan & Co. received ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 in cash prof
its for organizing the big steel COM
bine, and that the net profits of the
concern for the first nine years of
its existence were more than billion
dollars.
Steel corporation officials objected
to producing their books before the
committee in this city, but consented
to place them freely at the disposal
of an expert to be named by the
committee. Mr.. McRae made a
thorough study of the books and
minutes. and in his report to the
committee he pointed out these sail
ent features.
That ]. p. Morgan & Co., heading
the syndicate which organized the
steel corporation, received a cash
-
5000 was for promotion. with an
additional commission of s6,SOO,OOO
for a bond conversion scheme.
That the net earnings of the cor
poration for period of nine years
were s1,029, 6S5, 3Sg, or an equiva-
lent of approximately $13 ton on
finished product, instead of $780,
000,311, as claimed by the corpora
tion in it's report.
That the steel corporation, con-
trary to the statement made by Judge
Gary and H. C. Prick to President
Roosevelt in 1907 that it did not
control more than 60 per cent of
steel properties in the country, con-
trolls about so per cent of the steel
holdings

with the Gary dinners" where in

conditions in the trade. contains an
analysis of the legal effect of the
golden rule" policy prepared by
Anthony j. Ernest, New York law
yer, in which it is declared that the
conventions agreed to and enforced
would be Objectionable as regards
their effect upon competition"
Stress is laid in the financial sec
ton of the report upon the demon
stration by figures that the steel
corporation restraints competition by
making the greater portion of its
profits in raw materials. while the
finished product plants make very
low profits. This operates. it is de-
clared, to keep the price of raw
materials, ore, coke, and pig iron on

SENSATION IS
CAUSED BY
SPEECH !!
Today Senator Lodge Charg, . at
Foreign Powers Are Attempting
to Secure Coaling Stations
and Harbors Near the
Panama Canal.
Associated Press.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 29-The
perils of submitting to arbitration
! questions which affect the vital poll
cies and problems of the nation, were
outlined in the senate today by Sem
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, a Repub-
! lican leader, and IA years a member
of the foreign relations committee.
Some of the senator's references to
,, the Monroe Doctrines relation to the
| arbitration proposed in the pending
/ treaties with England and France
caused a stir. He pointed to the re-
ported efforts of foreign powers to
obtain coaling stations and harbors
near the Panama canal, and declared
there was now afoot an effort by
foreign power to gain possession of
Magdalena Bay on the Pacific side of
Mexico. Efforts had been made. he
said, to buy the Galapagos islands of
Ecuador, near the western end of the
canal.
One statement. and one which held
the close attention of the senate.
was that those who had hoped to
profit more than 100000 by the
Hay-Herran treaty of 1903, were
even now struggling through as
sistants in this country who mean
to share the spoil, to secure by ar
bitration what they failed to obtain
by blackmail and could not seize by
violence
The Hay-Herran treaty was a con-
vention between the United States
and Columbia by which the United
States was to pay 100000 for
the Panama canal route and a rent
of $3.50, 600 year. 1t was rejected
by Colombia. The Panama revolu-
ton followed. Colombia is now
pressing for an arbitration of her
claims. The strained situation of
eight years climaXed a few days ago
when Senior Capina, the Colombian
minister, published a letter suggest
ing that Secretary Knox might find
it ''inopportune" to visit Colombia
on his coming tour of Central Amer
lea. Minister Ospina was promptly
recalled by his government.
The tolls to be charged by us in
the Panama canal which we have
built at our own expense, might be
brought before a tribunal, wholly or
partly composed of foreigners, to be
fixed and determined by them" de-
clared Senator Lodge. Worse than
this, our title to our own canal might
be called in question. Three sue
cessive secretaries of state have re-
FUSED, and properly refused, to sub
nit our title to the canal to arbitra-
ton and now under clause three of
article three, as | interpret it, we
might be forced to submit that title
to the Hague court or some outside
tribunal.
The men who rejected the Hay
Herran treaty because they hoped
to eXtort more than SlO,0O0,000
from us for their own use are even
now struggling, through assistants
in this country who mean to share
the spoil, to secure by arbitration
what they failed to obtain by black
mail and could not seize by violence.
Our title to the canal, or to our ter
ritory anywhere is not to be dragged
before any arbitral tribunal for eX-
animation and determination and
nothing should be subscribed to by
