wantern Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver, April 14.-For the support
of the executive, judicial and other
offices. bureaus and boards OF the
state the long appropriation bill,
which passed second reading in the
house Friday afternoon, appropriates
approximately $1,621,900. Up to date
the appropriations made by the house
aggregate s3.122,O00 for all purposes.
BY amending the bill originally
drawn the sum of $121.9s3 was added,
various departments receiving sub
stantial increases.
The House does not approve the
proposition put up by the Senate to
slash salaries. 1t is admitted by the
appropriations committee of the
House that a number of clerks in
various offices could be dismissed,
but the policy of cutting their salaries
does not appeal to the majority of the
House members, Judging from the
general expression Of opinion.
In the long appropriation bill $780,
900 is appropriated for the expenses
of the Nineteenth General Assemly;
the free employment bureau is given
$500 additional the factory inspec-
ton. $1,000: pure food department.
$500; civil service. $500; wage COM
mission, $1,000; tax commission. 81
600. and public utilities board, $4,000.
For printing for the state for 1914
and 1915, $4,000 is appropriated; for
the House and Senate journals of the
Nineteenth General Assembly. $500;
for the expenses of the commission
named by the Eighteenth General AS
sembly to visit San Francisco and pick
out site for Colorado building for
the 1915 fair. $1,000; for the inciden-
tai fund Of the speaker of the Nine
teenth General Assembly, $500.
Speaker Skinner moved to vote
| down the last named item. 1t has
been customary In the past to allow
| the speaker the sum OF $500 for his
incidental expenses, and by an al
most unanimous vote the money was
appropriated for the use OF Speaker
| Skinner.

UNIQUE WEAPONS OF WAR
Wooden Cannon Have Been Used
With Success In Modern Times by
West Indian Revolutionists.

ANY one familiar with the construc-
ton OF modern weapons of warfare
and the high explosives used in them
would naturally suppose cannon
made of wood would be Of little or no
value as weapon.
Wooden cannons have been used
with considerable success. neverthe-
less, in recent revolutions in Cuba.
Haiti and In the Dominican republic.
The wood used In the construction
of these crude weapons is a very
tough variety, having twisted grain
that curls about the log in such way
that to split the timber with the Or
binary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected. and a
piece OF the log five or six feet In
length and about one foot in diameter
is cut. After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round. 1t Is
swung up on a crude truss and a hole
is burned into 1t from one end. The
log is wound with strips of rawhide
cut from the skin of a steer. When
the cannon Is covered with the strips
of hide, another layer Is wound on,
and this is continued until the weapon
has increased several inches In diam
eter.
After the log Is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon Is treated
to a hot draft, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannons have been
used with success in a number of In
stances, and it is astonishing the num-
ber of times they may be fired before
they burst or become otherwise dis
abled.-Harper's Weekly.

no man is allowed to marry unless
he can show one Of those little heads
as evidence Of his valor."
Another ghastly thing which you
see now and then is a ladle whose
handle is made up of dried human
arm. This does not mean that the
Indians are especially cruel and mur-
derous. The white man has little to
fear from them. provided he finds out
all about a tribes habits and Gus
toms before venturing into an Indian
settlement. II you see three round

Three sticks laid on one another
at certain angle in front of the hut

would be the penalty for trespassing.
Shoot some of the Indians domestic
animals and q little poisoned arrow
will soon dispatch you into eternity
II is the lay Of the forest. and much
as we may object to such q code Of
laws, 1t must be confessed that the
Indians are very law-abiding people.
"A rubber tree bearing the brand
OF one Taper is never tampered with
by another Taper. Masses of coagu-
lated rubber may be left in the forest
unprotected. The owners mark
stamped upon each piece is enough
to keep thieves away.
while forest Indians are not like
ly to molest white man who OBJ
serves all the rules of the Jungle
code, they seem to abhor the sight
Of black man. Many of the difficul-
ties which arose in the Putumayo be-
tween Indians and rubber traders and
led to acts of brutality on the part
Of the latter were due to the fact
that the English-Amazon company
employed Barbados negroes as fore
men. The Indians called them
'Taife' or devils. and only worked
under them when compelled by sheer
violence.
"The Huitoto tribe. from which
most OF the rubber tappers are re-
cruited, presents curious characters
tics. As many as a hundred families
live in common under a strange-look-
ing edifice called tombo. or tolpa. It
is a sort Of a cross between a hut
and a tent. rising to height of 40
or so feet. Jungle creepers are
stretched upon a light conical timber
frame. and then the whole thing is
covered up with bamboo. From dis
lance 1t gives the impression OF a
travelling circus tent. 1t has no win
dows, and the doors are 30 low that
one has to stoop considerable to pene-
trate into the tolpa. Around the cir
cular space covered by the tolpa are
separate groups of hammocks for the
various families. Every family has
its fire. on which large kettle is
kept simmering continuously. 1t con-
tains a sort OF meat stew which
never seems to become exhausted. for.
after every meal the women refill the
kettle with fresh meat and season
ing, without ever emptying It. Over
the fire hang pieces of fish or venison
which are being cured by smoke.

form of worship. They believe in
the existence OF superior being call

There is no doubt" Herr Won Has

have been handled very brutally on
several occasions. Many have been
killed. although the figures mentioned
by muckrakers are ridiculously exag-
gerated. It has been stated tina.
some $4,000 Putumayo Indians have
been murdered in the course OF the
last ten years. The truth is that
there are not 100000 wild Indians in
the whole republic Of Peru. In the
Putumayo proper. which is the most
fnhabitabIe part Of the country, be-
ing right under the equator. I don't
think there arc more than 5000 abor-
igines.
"On the other hand. you must not
believe that the Putumayo Indian is
the meek, bleating lamb described in
certain reports unfavorable to both
the Peruvian government and the
English traders. The 107 Indian
tribes inhabiting the Peruvian forests
are divided up Into two main races,
distinguishable by their weapons and
their habits. Those living on the
right bank Of the Amazon are rather
peaceful using only one weapon, the
bow, and they never poison their ar
rows. The tribes living on the left

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Feb. M.-The action of the
stock market. today, could be explained
as the result of alteration in conditions,

These conditions We're little changed in

dlscerned, had Wall Street been IN d
more cheerful frame of mind But stocks
again broke sharply, many important is
sues dropping TO new low points. For a
tlme during the morning quotations fell
pack at such rapid rate that the market
was badly upset. In the last half or the
day, trading was quieter and some recov-
cry was made, but fluctuations continued
III nervous, erratic manner.
The break began in Can, which gave
way under rapid fire from bear traders
Both the common and the preferred drop

losing 81 1t Is necessary to go back sew
eral years to duplicate low prices made
by some stocks in the general decline,
which followed the slump in Can. North
western sold at 100. the lowest since 1907:
Southern Pacific at 9Ss, the lowest point
at Az and Louisville at 1909 touched the
bottom figures since 1910. The weakness
among specialties, which has been al re-
cent feature of the market, was again
apparent, such stocks as Rumely Wood
worth, Goodrich and Mexican Petroleum
showing substantial losses. American To-
bacco dropped II points.
The weakness of the market gave rise
to various rumors, mainly concerning
government preparations against corpora
tons. but none of them was substantial
ed. The decline served merely to Illus
trate the excess of beariShness in specu-
lative opinion at present, for today's sell
ing appeared to be little more than a bear
raid. which was augmented by the UNI
covering of stocp loss orders. In another
need the street might have derived some
comfort from the more cheerful sentiment
abroad on expectations of peace in the
Balkans. London bought 1900 shares of
stock. Lehigh Valleys report of a $156,
900 gain in net. last month, decrease in
the number of idle freight cars, cheerful
reports from Western traffic managers
and the gain in surplus by the banks,
were developments which at other times
might have been construed favorably.
The bond market continued to be heavy.
