The following report Of the
III etiug of Empire Tunnel Com
p my that was held on Tuesday
will give the readers a concise
history thereof. Mr.. O. n. Mari
hugh has been for a long time one
the officers of the company and as
such he has exert,d himself in
every possible manner to bring
order out of the chaotic condi-
ton and has done this duty with
out fear or favor. His position as
Postmaster of this city has caused
him to give up his position as di-
rector of the company and much
to the regret of the large MAORI
ty of the stockholders. The re-
port herewith is furnished and
we take pleasure in publishing it
Pursuant to cali of the Stockholders
Of the Empire Tunnel Co., meeting was
held on Tuesday at Empire. At this
meeting the President of the Board of
Trustees clai med the right to the chair,
but the stockholders elected Mr.. Chas,
T.. Hyman of Chicago, temporary chair
man and w. l.. Shaffer of this city as
/ temporary secretary The directors of
the company had met in Denver on
! Monday but adjourned in time to take
the train for Georgetown, after a
long session. On arriving there they
held en evening session at the Paris
Hotel and at late hour adjourned un-
til the following morning when they

votes for the following members of the
board, namely, Frank A. Maxwell Of
Georgetown; Frederick T. Henry and
NJ, J. Spaldng of Denver; Henry Appel

| reelection. The other faction of the
/ stockholders held meeting at which it
was reported there were only three
persons present and representation of
1922, 900 votes were claimed /, but
which va considerable in excess of the
actual representation, 200 600 shares
that were issued to Mr.. >kahen in cor .
tempt of the Court injunction were
voted that were not legitimate. The
contention within the company was a
settlement and the cancellation of a
long lease that WAS gwen to Mr.

fected by calling everything square and
nothing due either party, which was
passed by majority of the Board,
Mr.. Marlhugh alone objecting to this
arrangement. Bills were then allowed
including attorneys fees, except bill
of 81, $50 for Vance r. Skahen for at
torney fees.

RUSSIA.

The announcement hat the Russian
troops are in force on the German
frontier near Koenigsberg zones nine
teen days after the invasion of Lux
emburg and Belgium by the kaiser's
army. says the New York Times. This
violation of neutral territories, the
German chancellor explained. was a
move Of national self-preservation to
give Germany easier access into
France. 1t was to dispose of France
finally" as General Won Bernhard put
1t, before Russia should have time to
maxi her slow and difficult mobiliza-
ton effective. But Russian mobiliza-
tion is complete, the blow at the heart
of France is not yet struck. The en-
peror did not u on the stubborn
resistance of Belgium. He a v he
did not count on a war with England.
He certainly expected to deal with
France before her allies could make
head against him. Now he has them

had been reasonably happy until the
temperance of Syndestia's half sis
ter, Loretta Michin', after an absence
of twenty years in a state across the
Ohio river.
What you mean, Desty?" she ask
ed her relative, ~"a-continuin' on libin'
wild dat nan all dis time and him
hain't got no noah money dan he
had when you started out wild him ?
You Jest send Time about his bust
ness and go long back to Indianapo-
lis wild me and I'll show a good look
in colored woman like o is what
Twin is! I runs a roomin' house and
I make things hum and don't hab to
work hard, neither!"
Her remarks had been accompan-
led with sundry winks and mods that
conveyed to Syndestia's mind a sus-
picion that Loretta's ''roomin' house
was not of a character immaculate as
the driven snow, and. to Lory's dis
gust. she refused to go.
But a big weed of discomfort with
her lot had sprung from the seed
sown in Syndestta's heart. Then
Professor Hafbefts- Irving came,
holding sessions each evening in the
negro dance hall in Freetown.
Heads We're examined free. Timon
did not have his examined, but Syn
destia had concluded from what she
learned at the sessions that Timon's
was not the right shape.
By the time Timon had buckled his
shoes his hitherto peaceful heart had
become the abiding place of a plotting
Othello. Some weeks before the
sleeping revelations of Syndestia's
feelings the white people of the town
had given a masked balp' and the
Six Hundred Bright Light" negro
society had determined to have a sim
liar entertainment.
Syndestia was a bright light. Pro-
fessor Halbert Irwin, chosen to lead
the first dance, having secretly re.
quested her to lead it with him, Syn
destia resolved that Timon would be
better off at home on the festive &C.
casion.
But Sing Marley, Timon's sister, had
overheard Professor" Irving asking
syndestia to lead off the ball with
him, and had impaired the informa-
ton to Timon. That evening when
S~yndestia asked him with an assumed
air of indifference if he cared to go tc
the ball-now two weeks off-and
limited that a "costoom" would be "a
heap O. trebble,' for the first time in
his life Timon prevaricated.
"Lawd no, I don't want to go. My
feet hain't dance hungry. What you

PROMOTERS OF PEACE.

The cardinals In Rome may not pre-
vail upon the warning nations to pro-
claim a truce until a pope can be
elected, the various peace societies
may not gain the ear Of the rulers of
belligerent powers until the wal has
spent its fury, but there is no doubt
that the efforts of the advocates of
peace will strike a responsive chord
throughout the world now which was
never struck while conditions of peace
generally prevailed. Nor will those
efforts be wasted, though the war may
las more months than the least opti-
mistic Judge now believes 1t can.
Hereafter the peace movement will
have genuine force and a new dignity.
1t will enlist the support of men and
women in many countries who have
hitherto regarded it as academic and
inspired by emotion rather than rea-
son. The most terrible war mankind
has ever known has broken out with
startling ~suddenness, and the world
outside of the countries involved is
agreed that it is without justification
and can work only evil for humanity.
That the efforts Of the enlightened
and humane will henceforth be con-
centrated on the promotion of peace
is inevitable, that this will be the last
great var Is not unlikely, for If it
proves nothing else 1t will prove the
utter futility of slaughter as an in
strument for the advancement Of civil
lization,

WOMEN USE A VETO.

Canada's official class, regardless
Of party lines and affiliations, are all
enthusiastic-and no doubt sincere
in supporting England's determination
to take effective part in the continent
al wal. They offer the Dominion's
aid in men as we'll as money, and ap-
peal effectively for the raising Of re-
cruits to brave the risk of battle.
1t would be unfair to ascribe any Of
their patriotic eloquence to the fact
that few IL any of them will them
selves take part In the hardships and
dangers OF active service. That Is q
cheap accusation. and one made too
often against politicians and states
men everywhere, but Of course 1t is
true that they are sending others

less good, thew will not have TO 90
