TAFT PROTECTS WOOL GROW
ERS OF THE COUNTRY BY
VETOING SCHEDULE X

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. o.
For the second time within a year
President Taft today vetoed the bill
to revise the wool tariff, schedule "K"
of the Payne-Aldrich law.
The president returned to congress
the bill evolved by compromise be-
tween the house and senate, holding
it's low rates would bring disaster to
home industry. He appealed to con-
gress, however, not to adjourn until
it had enacted measure to substan-
tally reduce unnecessary existing du-
ties, without destroying protection for
the wool industry in the United States.
The presidents disaproval of the
wool bill is to be followed with simi-
lar vetoes of the steel bill and cot
ton bill. The sugar bill is likely to
be vetoed as is the excise bill, the
latter probably on til. ground that the
president believes it is unconstitu-
tional.

DENVER WAITRESS KILLED.

DENVER, Aug. S.-Walking into
the crowded dining room of Japa-
nese restaurant in Larimer street last
evening, Henry Robitaille drew re-
volver and opened fire upon his wife,
Pearl Caldwell Robitaille, employed as
a waitress in the establishment. A
bullet entered her back and pierced
her heart. She died few minutes
later in the police ambulance on the
way to the county hospital.
Menacing with his revolver several
ress and firing one shot at the wait
ress who went to the aid of his dying
victim, Robitaille fled through the rear
door of the restaurant. Two hours
later he entered saloon at Della
ware street and with his revolver
forced the bartender to hand him a
bottle of whisky, which he drank. He
then fell into stupor, in which con-
dition he was found by the patrol
wagon crew early this morning.

SENATORIAL CONTEST IN
KANSAS.


In Kansas they have law that
the candidates for United States SEN
ator must be voted on at the pri-
maries and the one carrying the ma
jority of legislative districts is to be
considered the nominee of the party.
The latest reports from the recent
primaries held in Kansas indicate that
Governor Stubbs has carried the larg
est number of districts while Sen
ator Curtis has carried the popular
vote of the state by few thousand.
This results from the fact that Curtis
is very popular in some of the east
ern districts where he polled heavy
vote. Stubbs is universally popular
over the state because of his reform
principles which seem to suit large
majority of the Kansas people. Per-
sonally Curtis is the more popular OF
the two men, but Kansas has gone de-
cidedly progressive and perhaps has
carried Stubbs along with the move
ment just as it did carry Senator
Bristow through against the popular
Republican hero, Chester l. Long.
Somehow down in Kansas, no mat
ter how popular a man is personally
if he does not represent public opin-
ion in governmental affairs he is dis
carded for those who are in harmony
with the sentiment of the people at
the time the vote is taken.

CONTRIBUTIONS COME
SLOW FOR FAIR FUND

Business men of the city are not
contributing as literally to the fair
association as heretofore. OF course,
everybody is in favor of the fair and
everybody is anxious for it to be the
greatest success in the history of the
association, but when asked to give
the material assistance necessary a
number of our prosperous men have
failed to respond.
At the meeting of the directors of
the association this morning the diff
ferent committees made satisfactory
reports, the financial side is the only
drawback and surely this will not con-
tinue. All committees are going to
join together in assisting in swelling
the funds.

warden for southwestern Colorado, be-
ing advised that in a deep pool of
water in the Rio Grande near Creede,
a big trout weighing some twelve or
fourteen pounds had been sighted by
several of the champion anglers of
Alamosa, and that they had been un-
able to land him on the banks of the
river. One fisherman stated that this
trout had taken close onto SO worth
of fly hooks and line from him and
seemed to enjoy being hooked. Wal
ter, holding the championship so far
this season in this part of the state,
has determined to capture Mr.. Trout.
He purchased big boxful of hooks
and lines, also clothes line, and
started yesterday morning for that
pool Of water. The Empire hopes to
be able to announce the capture of
that mammoth trout in its next issue.

DELINQUENT GIRL ARRESTED

Bertha Harper, the charge 81 Cap
tain Davidson, is occupying the in
sane ward in the county Jail, The
young lady was assigned the quar-.
tiers without application on her part.
On July 3 she was arrested for
juvenile delinquency. Captain David
son was appointed her guardian ad
litum. She was to appear before the
courts on July s. In due time the
date came but not the girl. She
had disappeared and it was later
learned she was camping under the
protecting wing of our neighboring
state, New Mexico. The officers had
deluge of criticism heaped upon
them for allowing the gay young
girl to elude them. They said moth
ing but evidently have not been doz-
ing over their official duties.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Couch in
company with friend started for n
two days jaunt. Their inclinations
took them New Mexico-ward. AS is
his custom the deputy had warrants
for the arrest of different individuals
in his pocket, among the number be-
ing one for Bertha Harper.
Just before they reached the state
line they met the girl driving with
two women. The deputy served the
warrant. The girl was determined she
would not return. She raised her
voice in protest, tore out her nair
and generally emphasized her dis
pleasure at the officers act. As a
last resort she tried reducing him to
submission by the salt water method.
He proved hard-hearted and as a re-
suit she is installed in the insane ward
at the county jail
Further developments await the re-
turn of the judge and district attor-
ney.

DOUBLE KILLING RESULT
OF UNREOUITED LOVE

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Aug. O.
Mrs. Elma Rolik was shot several
times and killed at Superior, a coal
camp twenty miles north of Rock
Springs, last night by Alec Mason,
who conducts the miners boarding
house at that place. Mason then
turned the gun on himself, blowing
out his brains.
The double tragedy was the result
of Mrs. Rolik's refusal to yield to
Mason's advances. The young woman,
who was quite comely, was deserted
six months ago by her husband and
she had been forced to work to sup
port herself.

intimated that certain interests will
attempt to carry the primary election

however, that sufficient honor will
prevail among members of both par
ties to only vote the primary ticket
of their political faith and let each
party scrap it alone at the primary
election.
The Republican assembly designated
some very strong candidates for q
various places on Thursday. A num-
ber have no opposition at the pri-

is not likely any names will be filed
by petition. The Herald trusts tina,
the situation will be carefully studied
by Republicans and that they will vote
to place the best men on the osficia
ballot. And along the same lines We
make the same suggestions to Demo
