les hung with pendant jewels, glinting
with irridescence from hidden search

ASIATIC EXCLUSION
POLICY is DEFEATED

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. s.
Placing patriotism above partisan
ship the house this afternoon, 2O3 to
ID, refused to make any declaration
on the Asiatic exclusion policy, aimed
principally at Japan.
Party lines were eliminated in the
vote defeating the Hayes and Raker
amendments to the Burnett immigra-
tion bill. The Hayes amendment was
rejected 203 to 54 and the Raker
amendment 1872 to 6. Both provided
for the exclusion of all Asiatic labor.
Democratic and Republican leaders,
including Mann, Republican floor
leader, participated in the debate,
pleading against doing anything to
embarrass the president and Secre-
tary Bryan in the Japanese negotia-
tons. Mann appealed to the men,
bers of the house to observe patrio-
tism, regardless of party, to defeat
the amendments, saying they would
inject further difficulties into the
delicate Jap situation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. q
Chairman Foster of the house mines

The Colorado and Michigan investi-

delay is possible, because Foster is
anxious to pass the radium monopoly
bill first.
The Colorado committee is due in
Denver Saturday morning and ex-
poets to begin work at Trinidad, later
visiting Pueblo and Boulder.
Chairman Taylor of the Michigan
committee is undecided whether the
first stop will be made in Lansing to
hear the testimony of the state Off

RATE CASE AFFIRMED
BY DISTRICT JUDGE

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 2.-District
Judge Perry affirmed the order of
the state railroad commission entered
two years ago requiring the Colorado
Southern, Burlington and the Union
Pacific to reduce their rates on coal
from the northern Colorado coal
fields to Denver, nearly thirty per
cent.
In accordance with the ruling the
railroads must refund approximately
100000 collected in excess charges.
The railroad companies will probably
appeal to the supreme court.
The court ordered the railroads to
pay refunds and penalties from the
date of the railroad commissions
order.

ROTARY ON SOUTHERN
PLUNGES INTO RIVER

Two men niraculously escaped crit
ical injuries, on the Rio Grande
Southern, yesterday when the rotary
crushed through bridge S9-A into the
Dolores river
The rotary, with two engines push
ing behind, was clearing the track
between Stapleton and Raymond,
points between Rico and Dolores. All
went well until the iron monster
reached the bridge, when it went
tearing through the structure carry
ing ties and rails with it and de-
posting them in such a way it SEEM
ed TO have constructed a perfect rail-
road bed for itself in the river bot
tom.
Perle Myers and Albert Miller,
who were on board, sustained injur-
les but apparently not of serious
nature. Mr.. Myers was taken to Rico
for treatment. Mr.. Miller was
brought to- Durango for medical aid
His injury was confined to broken
shoulder.
Superintendent Lee was along with
the crew and he ordered the Durango
train crew from Dolores to the scene
A transfer was made. The Telluride
bound train passenger returned to
Durango and the Durango bound
train returned to Telluride.
The wreck will cripple the railroad
service considerably as it is estimated
week will elapse before the bridge
is repaired.

CITY OFFICIALS WILL MEET IN
BOULDER FOR CONFERENCE

BOULDER, Colo, Feb. 3.-Mayors
and other city officials of Colorado
cities will discuss the problems con-
fronting them at the first annual
Colorado municipal conference to be
held at the University of Colorado
February 16 and II next. Believing
that these officials can be of assis-
tance by considering their troubles
together, Prof. Loran d. Osborn, Phi.
D., director of the university exten-
sion division, issued the conference
call. From thirty to forty munich
pay executives have accepted invita-
tions to attend.
Discussing the work of the confer
ence and its purposes, Dr. Osborn
today gave the United Press the fol-
lowing statement:
During the past 20 years, NUM-
cipal problems have been attracting
increasing attention. The reason for
this is made evident when we realize
how new our cities are in this coun-
try.
"At the beginning of the nineteenth
century, there were only six cities in
the United States having popula-
tion of 5000 or more and combined
population less than that of the city
of Denver today. According to the
census of 1910, only a little more than
century later, there were fifty cit
les in the United States each with a
population of over 100000 and 9S cit
les each with population of 10000.
Our cities have come upon us una
wares and have grown more rapidly
than we have been able to take care
of them.
"Now we are waking up to the sit
uation and everywhere interest is
keen in the problems of city life. In
fact, all of our great social problems
today center in the city-the prob
lens of unemployment, poverty,
crime, adequate housing, intemper-
ance, the social evil, the employment
of leisure-these are all essentially
city problems.
"At the same time, questions have
come to the front with reference to
forms of city government, systems of
municipal accounting, the relation Of
the city and state and kindred matters
of governmental Importance. 1t is
now strange, therefore, that, in vari-
Gus states, people who are interested
in city affairs have been coming to-
gether to discuss these problems.
"The conference here is not intend
ed exclusively for the mayors but for
all engaged in the conduct of city af-
fairs and for those who are especial
ly interested in the solution of the
problems of city life in the form of
government or social welfare point
of view"

TAYLOR EXULAINS
RADIUM SITUATION

The following will be of interest to
Herald readers. The resolutions were
prepared by J. d. Adams, and signed
by the Durango board of trade and
San Juan congress officers:
January 23rd, 1914.
Hon. George NJ. Raymond, Secretary,
San Juan Mining Congress, Du-
range, Colorado.
My Dear Mr.. Raymond:
/ am in receipt of copy of the reso-
lutions of both the San Juan Mining
congress and the Durango board Of
trade, of January 18th, PROTESTING
against the proposed withdrawal from
entry of radium bearing mineral
lands, and l heartily coincide with
the views of southwestern Colorado
on this subject, and shall take pleas
ure in introducing the resolutions
before the committee on mines and
mining of the house, at the hearings
now being held.
I regret to advise you, however,
that the sentiment of the house-es-
pecially just now, in view of this
humane and public clamor for more
radium for the treatment of cancers
has created a very strong determ-
nation to take some drastic action
on this subject 1t has been made to
appear by great many newspapers
throughout the east that radium is a
God-send which will prevent a very
large percent of the $4,000 deaths
that occur each year from cancers,
and they are attempting to put us
in a false light by creating the i'm
preston that we are actuated by sell
fishness in wanting to prevent the
government from withdrawing and
withholding from use this precious
mineral from suffering humanity. In
fact, some of them lily conceal their
suspicious that we are allowing pri-
vate monopolist to gobble up these
lands and that a trust will thereby
be created that can raise the price
to any fabulous sum, and that the
general public will get comparatively
no benefit out of it.
l have been conducting hearings
before the mines and mining COM
mittee of the house for the past four
days and it will last several days
longer. 1t seems almost incompre-
hensible to southern, eastern and
northern members who know nothing
about metalliferous mining, that the
way to secure the radium is to open
it to the widest possible prospecting
and development, and they cannot
F.! hardly believe our statements that
| the withdrawing and locking up of
the mineral lands will enormously
enhance the price of radium and very
largely stop its production and do the
very thing that the government does
not want to have happen.
The committee is very much
against me; in fact, we have compar-
atlVely lew sympathlzers upon III. ii
looks now as though the bill will pass
the house by an overwhelming ma
jority in spite of everything ! can do
But | believe | am going to secure
some very important notifications of
the bill before it goes through, and
may possibly be able to prevent the
general withdrawal authority that the
| bill in its present form gives to the
secretary of the interior. But there
is one thing certain, this congress is
going to do something in the direc-
tion of securing more radium.
With my kindest regards, | re-
main,
Yours very respectfully,
