Dawson, ". M, Oct. 25.-Over 10
bodies have been recovered from the
Stag Canon No. mine while res
cuers report many other bodies scat
tered along the tunnel. Officials claim
to be hopeful that men are still alive
in the western workings, but they
give no definite basis for their hope.
All the bodies taken out thus far
have been those of foreigners and
most of them were identified by bits
of clothing, Only nineteen rigs were
available for. the funerals, SO two
trips were made to the cemetery.
No one has been down the air
shaft where yesterdays reports said
men were alive. The shaft is 205 feet

A LIVING WAGE NEEDED.

The daily testimony before the

tigating the relations of low wages

to Chicago, says Josephine Roche,

our girl wage earners which have
weighed them down ever since they
were first forced Into the factory and
shops. 1t bares conditions typical to
those in nearly every large city. In
1911. the United States government
published n report on women and
girl wage earners. What do these
government experts tell us of their
investigation of seven great cities
typical conditions all over the Unit
ed States? They tell us that 7G.l
per cent of the girls and women in
department stores are paid under $40
per week. There must be eight
years experience before before an

over so per cent of the women and
girls are paid under $40 a week
And from 10 to 20 years experience
is necessary before $3.50 a week can

PLANS FOR BIG MAY FESTIVAL
of MUSIC MATURING RAPIDLY

Plans, announced in the outline
several days ago in this paper, are
now approaching maturity for the
May flower and music festival to be
held In this city early in May. Prof.
Carl e. Kiefer. who suggested the
plan. has had considerable expert
ence in affairs of the sort, and is
enthusiastic over the possibilities of
the event.
If present plans do not go awry
the event will be of as large conse-
quence during the spring as the fair
is in the fall. 1t is to be so handled
as to attract people from all over
this and neighboring counties. A
parade of blossom-decorated automo-
biles will be one of the day fea-
lures while the festival in the eve
ming held probably in the Auditori-
um will eclipse anything of the sort
ever attempted before in this vicin-
ity.
Every musician whose services can
be secured will be asked to cooper
ate in the affair. and all available
talent can be used to good advant-
age. The stage production Will take
on somewhat the nature of a play
with various musical offerings as in
cidents to the presentation.

SENATE WANTS TO
ADJOURN MARCH 81
May Be Excused One by One Till
Quorum Is Lacking; Bur-
Tis Favors Quitting.
Sentinel srecial Service.

Sentlnel Special Service.
Denver, March 1.-THE matter of
final adjournment of the legislature
is causing much comment among
members. Senator Burris is going to
insist on adjournment March 81, and
declares he Will quit on that date
whether or no. The house is not so
anxious for adjournment as is the
senate, and will oppose any attempts
in this direction. for the present at
least plan is suggested by one
senator: 1t is that senators, one by
one, get excused until there is no
quorum present, which would mean
that no business could be done and
that adjournment in fact would then
exist.
This action was taken by the Ten
nessee legislature two years ago and
prevailed. Colorado senator's say
the same tactics could be resorted to
here. The Tennessee general assem-
bly, got into 'wrangle" which
precipitated the action.
Senators declare that If they re-
mained in session two more months
they would be unable to act on the
several hundred bills now pending.
Many of the members favor passing
the platform pledges and let the
itSt VI lHe DillS ule WIFI dQJOurn-
ment of the legislature.
The senate today considered res
oiution by Joyce providing for a bond
issue of S4.000,00O for the proper
equipment of state institutions. The
bonds are to draw 4 % interest and
run 40 years. The resolution was
referred to the finance committee.
The house refused to concur i'm the
game bill passed by the senate. The
senate named Senators German and
Stephan as conferees to thresh the
matter out with a similar house com
mittee. The clause providing that
women be permitted to fish without
paying license was the cause OF re-
fusal of the house to concur.
Senator Bellesfield today told the
senate that Pueblo was the most
prosperous city in Colorado, a direct
result of her citizens who do not
knock" The incident came up af-
ter Senators Hecker and Terney dis
cussed the single tax proposition.
Hecker declared that Denver was
bad off" as a result of tax agita-
ton and was opposed to the Henry
George theory of taxation.
The house Saturday killed the bills
to create the new counties of Divide
and Sunshine, but passed the Skin
ner bill to prevent anonymous publi-
cations about candidates and refer
red measures.

AND THEY OBJECT

Denver department store mana
gers are voicing protest against
some of the provisions. of Senator
Helen r. Robinson's minimum wage
bill. which also creates commission
to fix scale of wages. Wages for
store employees in Denver range from
SO week to S12. Asked if a mini
mum of 50 was too high the mana
gers stated that SS was about all
they could afford to pay. They also
made the statement that if such a
scale was put into effect it would
mean the burdening of some clerks
and employes with more work and
the firing of many others, and also
that it would do away with all ap-
