Sinking Of Monroe.
Associated Pre8s.

Norfolk, Jan. 31.-With the final
tragic summary written, showing Al
lives lost and 80 saved, the result of
yesterdays collision of the steamers
Nantucket and Monroe, interest to-
day centered on ascertaining the
cause. Steps for investigation by the
department of commerce were taken
upon orders from Washington. The
inquiry seeks to determine whether
the masters of both vessels used ev-
cry possible precaution to prevent
the tragedy. including low speed and
the use of fog horns. and whether the
passenger death rate was due in
any way to lack of discipline of the
crew of the Monroe.
United States steamboat inspectors
today completed investigation of the
sinking Monroe, but did not make
their findings public.
Although no official statement can
be obtained. 1t was said the witnesses
testified that Captain Johnson had
stopped the Monroe's engines when
he heard the Nantucket's answering
siren signal and lost the ship prac-
tically standing still. when 1t was
rammed amidships 1t was broken

is said, that the Nantucket continu-
ed to steam toward the Monroe after
the latter had blown two whistles

Chamber Will
Try to Locate
Refinery Here

The chamber of commerce cam
paign to secure federal refining
plant for the extraction of radium in
Grand Junction has taken renewed
vigor with the news of the introduce
tiCn OF Rep. Fosters bill.
Secretary Antics wired Mr.. Foster
for copies of the bill as soon as print
ed when he was informed by The
Sentinel of the house action.
The fact that the bill will be an
administration measure practically
insures its early passage and in or
der to expedite the movement the
executive committee of the chamber
will at once begin the preparation OF
arguments in favor of the location
of the refinery here. These argu-
ments will be made into the form of
a brief and submitted to Secretary
Lane or the proper official as soon as
the president signs the bill.
Local people are confident that the
refinery will eventually be located
in Grand Junction as the logical
point for the refraction of the carno-
tite ores.

Trains be Abandoned in
Favor Of Children.

Resolutions were adopted by two
scores of prominent citizens of Frui-

interurban company to abandon its
night train and instead run the two
cars in the morning and the after
noon, which will accommodate the
school children.
F. E. Merritt presided at the meet
ing, which was good-natured one,
and in which the pleasantest of rela-
tionswere exhibited toward the COM
pany. Supt. S. NJ. l.. McSpadden was
present and assured the meeting that
his company was anxious to do every
thing possible to accommodate its
patrons. He said, however. that the
falling off in passenger receipts had
been so great that it would be impos-
sible to maintain the old schedule, ex-
cept at a heavy loss. las soon as
conditions warrant it, he said, I'VE
will put on additional cars, and We
hope 1t will not be many months be-
fore the old schedule may be re-
sumed.''
All of the speakers united in
declaration that they wanted the
school children cared for before any
thing else, and that they could forego
their visits to town in the evening.
Fred Mantey finally moved that the
meeting resolve in favor of two trains
in the morning and the 4 o'clock and

SHERIFF SEARCHES
HILLS FOR LAPHAM
Ira Mock, Victim Of Local Mans
Bullet, Recovering in 81.
Mdry'S Hospital.

Undersheriff Jeff Watson is scour-
ing the hills south of the city for
Peter Lapham, who left the city last
night following his murderous at
tack on Ira Mock in the Pastime
cafe. At late hour this afternoon
the man who shot the cowboy down
had not been apprehcnded but tele-
phone and telegraph messages have
been sent in every direction and it
Will be difficult for him to escape de-
lection.
In st. Mary's hospital this after
noon Mock was reported to be recov-
ering and resting as easily as could
be expected. The wound is in the
lower part of the left side of his
face, the bullet entering on the left
side OF his chin and ploughing
flesh wound to the back OF his neck.
His escape from instant death was
miraculous.
The shooting was apparently cold
blooded and deliberate, according to
eye witnesses. Robert Mock, the
younger brother of the victim, be-
came involved in a dispute with Lap
ham who was quarrelsome and par
tally intoxicated. Lapham swore at
the boy, who retaliated by striking
Lapham in the face. Ira Mock came
in. demanded that Lapham stop
swearing at him and his brother and
urged him to quiet down. Lapham
arose, turned to Mock and said:
"fll go get gun and kill of you,"
ending with a prcfane expletive.
1t was several minutes before he
returned from the Lumley corral
where he had saddled his horse, load
ed his revolver and rode back to the
Pastime. Without a word he walk
ed into the door, levelled the gun at
Mock and fired. Mock dropped to the
floor on his Jaw and neck. Lap
ham stood over him for a moment
and seemed about to shoot again.
Friends of both interferred. however.
and Pete went to the door, mounted
his horse and rode leisurely away. He
seemed in no hurry. but went to his
house on Kimball avenue. told his
wife he was leaving and despite her
rode away.
Mock was Immediately taken to
ST. Mary's hospital where medical.
treatment was given him.

lines. including the abolition of the
two holding companies. known as the

weak on the exchange today.
When this plan is carried out it
will leave only one company, where
three now exist. Management of the
operation will be under control of

OFFER Will
LIKELY BE
REFUSED
Government and Ditch Districts
Will Hardly Agree on Pre-
sent Contract Offered
TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT

The terms of the agreement which
the Mesa county or Stub" and the
Palisade irrigation districts will put
up to the government. will in the
opinion of local men who have been
taking part in negotiations. not be
accepted by the secretary of the in
terior.
The chief point of dispute be-
tween the government and the dis
tricts is as to the water right, and al
so over the charge to be made for the
service, while 1t is also claimed that
the reclamation service will insist on
having complete jurisdiction over the
High Line. without interference from
a state officer.
There is a serious difference of
opinion over the value of this serv-
ice, the districts claiming that it now
costs them less to pump water, than
the IS cents an acre on the Palisade
and $l25 on the stub, while the gov
ernment disputes the claim, and will
probably ask for figures to substan-
tiate the districts claim.
The proposed contract, which was
drawn by Attorney S. M. Logan for
the districts, and approved by them.
is lengthy document. 1t sets out
that the districts desire to secure wa
ter for the land in the district; that
the claims to irrigation and power
water is recognized, and that II is
desired that the power water be made
available for use by the reclamation
service.
The agreement then sets out:
l.. The United States agrees to
carry in it's canal the water claimed
by the district.
IN n
the water shall be delivered and
where. the government TO construct
and operate the headgates and later
ais, additional headgates to be paid
for by the district.
8. The water is to be delivered in
bulk, and not to be distributed from
the main canal, the amount not to ex-
ceed forty feet for the stub and
eighty feet for the Palisade.
4. The district agrees to care for
all water after its delivery to the
headgates.
The proposed contract then goes
on to state:
s. 1t is expressly understood and
agreed that the United States shall
not be liable for failure to supply
water under this contract caused by
insufficient supply in the river, hos
tile diversion or drought, and the
United States shall not be liable for
damages caused by floods, acts OF
hostility. unavoidable accidents or
causes beyond the control of the
United States.
6. The district agrees that it VIII
not deliver any water to lands other
than those embraced in the district,
as established and existing on jan
LISP, and now entitled as by right
conferred by law to receive the same.
