HE SEES TROUBLE
Does Commissioner Newland at
the O'Neil Rehearing.
Looking Into Future He Does
Seem to See Little Cloud.

Commissioner Frank NJ. Newland is
expecting trouble-trouble in punches
at the civil service hearing of Geo.
O'Nell, discharged superintendent at
the electric light plant, tomorrow
night.
Fur will fly" prophesied Mr.. New
land. 1.-The board is expecting to re-
were thinking of discharging me. I'm
going to fight
Several weeks ago O'Neil discharged
an employee at the plant for insubor-
dination. Commissioner Newland did
not sustain the discharge; in fact, he
discharged O'Neil and his subordinate
for fighting. Mr.. Newland appointed
Elmer E. Stahl as O'NeiIs successor.
The appointment was approved by the
city commissioners. O'Neil appealed
his case to the civil service board. DR..
Charles NJ. Sheldon, C. H Kutz and
H. c. Lindsay heard the pros and cons
of the case; by vote of two to one
Mr.. Newland's action was sustained.
DR.. Sheldon and Mr.. Kutz voted to-
gether. After the resignation of DR..
Sheldon, B. G. Beard was installed on
the board. He is known to agree with
H. c. Lindsay on behalf of O'Neil.
The discharged superintendent de-
manded a second hearing which will
take place in the council chamber
Wednesday night.
Mr.. Newland; ''O'Neil is going to be
reinstated. What will become of
Stahl? He's been appointed and ap-
proved. I'm going to fight
The hearing begins at Z o'clock
Robert Stone is representing O'Neil.

TO TELL

Also Actual Circulation, Ac-
cOrding to Court Decision.

Washington, June 1O-The United
States supreme court today upheld the
conStitutiOnality of the newspaper
publicity law enacted as a part of
the postal appropriation act of 1912.
The particular section attacked was
to bar every newspaper and periodical
from the mails unless the editors or
owners filed with the postal authori-
ties semi-annual sworn statements
giving the names of the editors, own
erS, stockholders and bond holders
and the average daily circulation 1t
also forbade further under penalty Of
a fine the publication of paid for arti-
cles without marking them advertise

bitter fight was made against the
law. The Journal of Commerce I'm
ion and Commercial Bulletin, of New
York led. 1t sought to have the Unit
ed States district court for Southern
New York enjoin the postmaster gen
eral from enforcing the act on the
ground that it was unconstitutional
The objection then raised was that
the law abridged the freedom of the
press by seeking to regulate the news
Tended the law as a regulation of the
second class mail privileges.
The New York court sustained the
validity of the law in this case as it
did in that brought by the Lewis Pub
fishing company of New York. 1t is
said the law affects more than $4,000
publications in the United States.
Chief Justice White interpreted the
objectiona BILE regulation as being not
a restriction of the freedom of the
press. but merely as affixing addition
al conditions for admission of news
papers to the special privilege of the
second class mails.

Kansas state officials drew a deep

are sure that the decision means a

the courts have Travelled a long dis

that the Kansas two cent rate agree

AXE MAN" AGAIN
Sleeping Family Attacked at
HarrisOnvilIe, Mo.
Husband Murdered-BlOw at
Wife Missed Mark.

Harrisonvil1e, Mo-, June TO-
Arthur Keller, a railway employee 1iv-
ing here, was murdered with an axe
in his home here last night and his
seven-year-old daughter was seriously
wounded. A blow aimed at Mrs. Kel-
Ter struck the side of the bed and
awakened her.
Mrs. Keller Ieaped from the bed,
and struggling with the murderer,
drove him from the house. She then
gave the alarm to her neighbors and
soon a posse was searching for the
slayer.
Two children were sleeping beside
Mrs. Keller, who was in a room ad-
joining that in which her husband and
the seven-year-old girl slept. 1t is
believed the murderer intended to kill
the two small children also, but that
their lives were saved by the awaken
ing of their mother.
An inquest was held today but moth
ing was dveloped that might give a
clue to the murderer.
Nathan Kellar, brother of the mur-
dered man. testified at the inquest that
Arthur carried life insurance policy
in a fraternal order for 81 900 and that
his wife was the beneficiary. There

also, the brother said, but he was not
sure who was the beneficiary of the
latter policy.
According OF other testimony the
family life of the Kellars had not been
happy. 1t was testified that husband
and wife had quarreled frequently.
Mrs. Kellar was on the stand for an
hour. Her description of the murderer
ha In nd
kerchief over his face. Whether he was
white or black she was not sure. He
wore brown socks. She said he came
into the house through the front door
and went away through the kitchen
door. From statements by the authori-
ties who went to the Kellar home after
the murders it was brought out that
Mrs. Kellar, when she appeared at
neighbor's house and told of the trag-
edy, wore only her night clothing and
carried the bloody axe in her hand. She
said the axe was theirs and had been
picked up in the back yard by the
murderer.
The family lived in small dilap-
idated cottage on the north edge of
town. Kellar was born in this county
and his family was pretty we'll known
here. Mrs. Kellar came from East
Lynne, Mo. She owns property in Ear-
risonville.
The two surviving children are two
ana HVe years ola respectively.
Mrs. Kellar, on the stand said the
first she knew of the tragedy was when
she awoke to find a man standing over
her. She lay in a folding bed, she said,
and the canopy of the bed probably
saved her life when it splintered under
the axe blow aimed at her head by
the murderer
There was no light in the room, Mrs.
Keller said but she could tell that the
slayer's socks were brown and the hand
kerchief he wore over his face was red.
After he struck at her she said she
jumped up and grappled with him, but
be broke loose and ran out the kitchen
door.

home and vicinity said they found no

THE AUTO MUST BE TAKEN Sc

eve are fundamentally to blame
for the great number of automobile
fatalities says William Allen John
ston in the current issue of Golfers,
for the reasons that we do not take
the automobile seriously enough. With
a million cars in the country-one to
every hundred of population-this
new but tremendous factor in traf-
fic must have at once the attention il
deserves.
Reforms are demanded along the
main line of uniform state legisla-
tion. city traffic regulations, licenses
for drivers and sane signal laws.
The signal situation" he says, has
been complicated and its development
exceedingly interesting"
The public has shown some antag-
onism toward the evolution of the
"sqawker' or bulb horn into the mod
ern efficient signal because the latter
seemed at first to voice the arrogance
of the automobile instead of perform
ing as it does. most important func-

But that spirit has passed. State

Not only was Governor Wilson's
personal victory overwhelming,
but an even greater triumph was
recorded for progressivism. Yet,
in the face of this practically
unanimous expression of popular
will, we are confronted with the
possibility that hostile senate
may nullify every effort of the
administration.
The above is a sample of rot ap-
pearing in the Denver News and other
ultra Democratic sheets. Now, The
Herald has no fault to find with Presi-
to come out editorially and say that
Wilson's election. was an overwhelit-
mig personal victory and an ev4n
greater triumph for progressivism in
the face of the fact that Wilson is
a minority president by approximately
three million votes. Wilson did not
achieve a personal victory. His cleo
ton was due to divided ranks of the
opposition. This claiming that he was
elected by such an overwhelming ma
jority and thus an endorsement of the
Democratic platform is all rot. Will
son and his party, Notwithstanding
the solid south, represent less than
two-fifths of the voters of the United
States, showing beyond doubt that
three-fifths of the voters are opposed
to Wilson and his Democratic ma
jority in the house and senate. For
instance, had the protection vote in
Colorado been united not Democrat
would go from this state to Washing
ton. But it is anything to fool the
voters. We give President-elect Will
son credit for being honest. but that
he should go to extremes because he
received a ebig electoral majority,
when receiving only two-ffths of the
general vote, is the kind of logic ad-
vanced by the News and other sheets
that favor free trade.

No wonder the rivers adjacent to
Denver are well stocked, the Colo
RADIO G. Southern railroad alone dis
tributing over four million trout in
streams along its road last year, the
trout coming from state and national
hatcheries. Most of the trout are
kept in retaining ponds and fed until
three inches or more long which
means that undoubtedly 95 per cent
survive when placed in streams. On
the other hand it is estimated that
not over one-fourth or one-third live
when placed in streams direct from
the hatcheries. Retaining ponds
should be established all over Colo
RADIO where fishing streams prevail.
