HIGHWAY BILL FOR STATE
ROADS HAS BEEN SIGNED

Governor Ammons has signed the
tuberculosis, banking code and high
way commission bills. Regarding the
tubercusolis bill he issued a lengthy
statement. He believes the bill will
be benefit. not only to people com
ing here in search of health. but to
residents of the state. 1T is not
registration law" he said. 1t is a law
for sanitation. II gives people coming
TO this state the benefit of the years
experience and skill of men in the
medical profession in Colorado. 1t
will not act as a detriment to the state
in any way"
The highway commission bill pro
vides for one highway commissioner
at a salary of $4,000 year and a
board of five directors. The state Is
to be divided into five road districts
with a director from each one. The
commissioners and directors will be ap-
pointed by the governor. They will
divide up the road fund and apportion
it TO the various county commissioners.
Governor Ammons must approve their
division. The directors receive no
pay except their expenses.
The house, after eliminating rail
roads from section 81 of the public
utility bill Saturday has refused 70

with a good per cent of uranium con
tent. The ore, which is claimed to be
a new discovery. has, we believe. been
named Mediate of Silver 1t prom
ises to develop as many startling
phases of volatility in silver content
as did the gold tellurides at Cripple
Creek
But little development work has
been accomplished on the Lady Bell.
At the top of draw or ravine. well
up toward the summit of Horse noun
tain-an insignificant elevation when
compared to some of the higher noun
tain peaks-a tunnel has been driven
in some twelve or fifteen feet In
this the ore is exposed between and
among pitching stratas of what ap-
pears to have been lime and sand
rock. With lime in the interstices. 1t
resembles. when looked at from
short distance, big bed of lime rock
that was shot up by some convulsion
of nature from interminable depths
The process of distributing the
mineral values would perhaps puzzle
geological experts. Some might say
from erosion while others would give
credit to thermal action and say
the hot waters during eruption per
iods had deposited the ore in solu-
ton This latter would gain credence
by the values being evenly distribut-
ed through the rock and not confined
to crevices.
Below the first tunnel opening hole
has been gophered in for about fif-
teen feet and the same character of
ore encountered
1t may be safely repeated that the
Lady Bell is a great prospect. Upon
the event of like character of ore be-
ing opened up in other claims. will
depend the fate of what may prove

NO OLIVE OIL SENT HERE
Italy Finds None Genuine Is
Exported to America.

Rome, May 31.-The Chamber OF
Deputies held a special sitting this
week to discuss the recent alarming
frauds in wines and olive oils In Italy
and adopt means for stopping adulter-
atoms. Several titled persons have been
brought 10 trial recently in connection
with wine authorizations. as viticulture
is one Of the favorite means or sup
port Of the Italian nobility.
The olive oil investigation has proved
that practically no genuine oil Is ex-
ported to America. but, with few ex-
ceptions, cottonseed oil imported from
America Is refined. bottled and re-
turned.
At the last meeting Of the chamber
II was proposed TO form Department
of Agriculture, TO be organized ana con-
quoted precisely as that of the United

department full jurisdiction over agri-
cultural interests. IT was also pro-

WOMAN PLAY IN PARIS
Martha and Mary as Prototypes
Audience in Two Camps.

Paris. Lay 31.-"Marthe et Marie"
a dramatic legend by Edouard Dujar-
din. produced tonight at the Theatre
Antoine, is based upon the story IN the
Gospel Of ST. Luke regarding the atti-
tude o" the two sisters. Martha and
Mary toward Christ and is pow
erful yet subtle presentation Of the
contemporary woman question. al
though its action is laid during the
Italian Renaissance.
Martha personifes the practical, SEN
sible young woman who is a good
housewife. while Mary is the ideal type
Of the modern suffragette. The hero Is
a sort of Medicis. who at first IS en-
thralled by the graces and accomplish
ments of Mary. but who finally aban-
dons her TO live with the more woman
Is but less brilliant Martha
The audience to-day. 10 per cent of
which was composed Of women and
girls. was divided into two hostile
camps. One-half Of the public ap-
plauded enthusiastically the simplicity
of Martha, while the younger and more
emancipated portion Of the audience
sided passionately with the idealism OF
Mary. This exceedingly novel drama
made a popular hit. and promises to
cause some lively discussions.

the United States government with
draws from the Underwood tariff bill
the paragraph authorizing Treasury

doing business with United States ports

protect products registered under trade
marks in Germany and England.
This suggestion is ridiculed In CIR
Giles favorable 10 participation. II is
stated on their part that the proposed
Anglo German boycott would very
probably end in another Anglo-Ger-
man rupture. The English" they
say, NE not celebrated for their relia-

would very probably violate such a

ton that their action is merely political.
