.arbleites for County
Fish Hatchery

- -
Commenting on the plan for a
county fish hatchery, TIE Marble
Booster, in part, this week says:
A petition was circulated here
this week and muny signatures OBJ
tanned, asking the county commis-
Asioners to build a fish hatchery to
be owned and operated by the
county for the propagation of trout
to restock our Gunnison streams.
In the circulation OF the petition
no opposition to the plan developed
in Marble, though more than one
business man made the assertion
that no doubt the other side OF the
range would hog all of the output
of the hatchery. Such feeling us
this is bound to exist when our treat
ment received in the past from Gun
uison is taken into consideration.
In this particular instance, how
ever The Booster is constrained to
believe that Marble would get n fair
deal, for the reason that our very
good friend, Crested Butte, is lined
up in favor of the plan, and, un-
doubtedly would aid us in getting
fair treatment. 1t is the under
standing of this paper that Crested
Butte has at one time and another
suffered somewhat from the hoggish
Gunnison ring, also, and, as con-
sequence, holds resentment the same
as Marble.
BE that as it may, the fact re-
mains that the establishment of
county hatchery would be good
thing-a mighty good thing. Trout
streams are bound to be fishcd out
in time if they are not restocked. 1t
may not be generally known, but
trout is cannibal fish. A female
trout, in spawning time, will nose
up little mound OF pebbles and
sand in which she will deposit her
eggs, and then, she will turn right
around and eat the eggs. That is
one of the principal reasons why
trout hatcheries are necessary to
prolong the species.
1T has been an exceedingly hard
matter to get any trout fry from the
state hatcheries, as Henry Mertens
will testify, and this county hatch
cry would fill real want"
We are sorry, brother Booster,
that Marble people have ever bad
any OCCASION to hold resentment
against our county-seat town and
to be justsfied in so feeling. But
haven't you poticed of late that the
complexion of the Gunnison ring"
is changing somewhat and may
widen out to encircle the whole
county yet2
We believe the greater majority
of Gunnisonites are fair-mined peo-
pie and hold a just regard for the
rights of Marble as well as Crested
Butte and other county towns, and
/ in our opinion, should the ring
still insist on dominating and re-
tarding the progress of the whole
county and confining its wide in
I terests within the measly small
circle of SO few, the people are going
to take the circle, wind it up in a
ball and toss it to the outer
field. However, regarding n fair
distribution Of trout fry from a
county hatchery, we are convinced
Marble people have nothing to fear.
The plan will place the management
Of same in the hands of good repre-
sentative citizens OF the county and
each commissioner would be allotted
a due proportion for his district and
each would see to it that 4 Just dis
tribution was made. We, over here,
are in favor of no other plan, than
n fair one.

HAWTHORNE FREE TO-DAY
He and DR.. Morton Coming
Direct to New York.
fBy Telegraph to 'fhe Tribune.

Atlanta, Oct. 14.-Julian Hawthorne
is spending his last night as a convict
in the United States penitentiary. To-
morrow he Will be released, having
served his sentence for fraudulent use
of the mails. DR.. w. F. Morton, who
was convicted and sentenced with
Hawthorne. will also be released to-
morrow. The two intend to take the
first train they can get for New York.
This afternoon Hawthorne discarded
the rather shabby gray suit he wore
when he entered prison and decided to
re-enter the world in a prison made
suit. When measured for his suit 1t
was found that Hawthorne is more
stalwart than when he entered prison.
The daily exercise required by prison
rules has put him in fine physical
shape.

night SAID Hawthorne. The thought
Of freedom tomorrow will keep me

GREEN RUG FOR WILSON
Red One Saddens Tumulty, but
He Acquiesces.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Oct. 14.-When a bright
green rug was put down in the Presi-
dents private office to-day and lurid
red creation was laid In the sanctum OF
his secretary. Joseph Patrick Tumulty.
several Of those present could not re-
frain from commenting about the lack
of fitness of the color scheme.
Secretary Tumulty is a downright,
loyal Irishman, however, and great
admirer Of the Chief Executive. so he
responded to the jests by saying that
nothing was too good for the President
of the United States, even though he
had to make sacrifices himself. He will
content himself by putting few
pressed shamrocks over the mantel.

Albany, oct. 14.-After spending to-

Of the afternoon, Stanchfeld contend

which charges that Sulzer used threats
TO keep witnesses from testifying be-
fore the Frawley committee, and Her
rick and Marshall responding that to
accept the view of the managers would
be, in effect, for the court to add new
article of impeachment.
Stanchfleld closed his argument with
the suggestion that If the court held
the Peck evidence TO be inadmlssible
under Article the managers would re-
quest permission to go back to the As
sembly to have an article added which
would embody the Peck testimony that
Sulzer told him TO deny his 5000 con-

Causes Of tho Fire.

From Friedrich Badtke. an intelli-
gent young German who had just fin
ished his military service in a regiment
at Dantzig. The Tribune correspondent
was able TO learn the causes of the fire.
In fact. Badtke was the man who gave
the first alarm.
I'VE had just got up" he said, and
were waiting for coffee. A number Of
Russians, in .pite Of the strict orders
which haC been issued and threatened
fine of 81. were smoking cigarettes. We
Germans had repeatedly warned them
against the danger Of this practice.
Suddenly they saw the steward coming
down the passage and hastily threw the
burning cigarettes through some holes
in the floor
"The space beneath was filled with
emigrants' baggage. mostly In canvas
sacks few minutes later | saw
smoke pouring out of the holes in the
door lifted a trap and found every
thing in a blaze.

II has been considered probable that

arrived. The captains report, how

Though nothing had been heard OF the

for them. Moreover, Captain Inch re-

It is possible that this mysterious
vessel may have picked up the TWO
boats. and may even have taken ABOARD
some of those who jumped into the sea
from the burning hulk. A clew to her
identity Is given in a wireless dlspatcn
