TAFT DENoUNCES CRITIC
IN STRONGEST OF TERMS

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 30.-For.
mer President William H. Taft, in 9
statement made here tonight, character
ICES Sex iretary Garrison's IS arraignmei
Of him for his attitude on the Philip
pine affair as "unjust and unmeas-
ured.' Mr.. Taft says that there has
not been the slightest tinge of partisan
feeling in his interests in the Philip
pine problem. "It seems to me-" he
says, "that I have not been unmindfrl
of the necessity of standing by this
Democratic administration in national
crisis without regard to party eonsid-
eration.'
The statement in part follows
"In October, 1918, the new policy
was introduced. 1t involved the sepa.
ration of Governor General Forbes and
all the commissioners and the substitu-
tion Of men with ro Philippine expert

zon had secured his appointment. He
gave it out that he cared not for
American advices and only wished to
confer with Filipinos. His partisan
attitude was shown by his declarations
in the press in Honolulu, that he took
pleasure in turning out Republicans.
"The official record shows that be-
tween October, 1913, when Governor

1913 Americans were separated from
office and that by July IA, 1914, the

LIQUID FIRE FOR PRESIDENT

Cleveland, o., Dec. l.-E. w. Ritter
chemist and self-styled Austrian
count, in Jail here on swindling charge
is alleged to have made a sensational
statement to the county prosecutor to
the effect that two men, t'9h in officia
life, proposed to him that he throw
some of his liquid fire on President
Wilson and Secretary of War Garrison
Ritter denies that he ever made such
statement.
A special agent of the department OF
Justice in Washington has investigated
Ritter and he declares that the story is
false.
The prosecutor today made public a
stenographic report Of Ritter's exam.
ination in which the liquid fire story
is given in detail.
The prosecutor asked Ritter why he
did not propose to shoot the president
and the secretary Of war.
"They said that shooting would

OUTBREAK OF HOG CHOLERA

Grand junction, Dec. IAN out
break of cholera in the fine lot Of
hogs at the Redlands company farms
Monday marks the second point of in
fection in this locality; it was hoped
that the cases at the Garmesa orchards
would be the only ones, as they wece
so favorably situated to prevent spread
ing, but Manager Leavitt lost hog
the first of the week and notified DR..
A. P. Drew who performed a post
mortem examination which revealed n
typical case, and visit to the farm
showed twenty-five sick animals with
several already dead and the farm was
at once placed under the closest quar-
antine. The twenty-five hogs that are
sick were ordered killed at once and
their carcasses burned. DR.. Drew sen.
telegram east for serum to the amount
of 5000 and the entire herd will be i'm
muned not later than Saturday.
1t is very difficult to understand just
how these animals contracted the dis.
ease. No one from Garmesa had been
there and the farm and the hog lots
have been kept in the best of sanitary
condition, so that it must have been
from some other source unless birds
have carried it.
This outbreak is much more serious
and will prevent the shipment Of any
more stock hogs, though fat hogs can
be taken to market. It depends upon
the strictest surveillance on the part o.
every person who has hogs whether we
have countrywide disaster or not, aud
1t will be as well to kill all pigeons,
magpies and stray dogs seen about
premises where there are hogs.
DR.. Drew does not wish to create a
scare, but simply to emphasize the i'm
portance Of watchfulness against infec-
tion and as to the sanitary condition
Of all premises.
About 5000 worth Of serum has been
ordered by telegraph and immuniziug

two weeks before his death and was

DISTRICT COURT

Business is not very lively in tie
district court this week, few civil
cases only having been heard by Judge
Shumate. The first of the week was
heard the injunction suit of Mrs. Annie
Davis against R. E. Boulton and VIM.
Meese of the Divide creek section, the
petition seeking to enjoin Boulton from
maintaining dam or obstruction in
"Dry Hollow" and also from taking
water through what plaintiff calls a
cutoff. ditch, to the detriment of
Mrs. Davis whose headgate is further
down the draw. The court refused TO
order the dam removed, but sustaine 4
the injunction against the defendants
as to taking water from the draw
through the headgate of the cutoff
ditch to the disadvantage of Mrs. Davis
who must be protected to the full
amount of her decreed right, SO the
court held. The court sustained the de-
PENDANTS in the use of the cutoff ditch
for the purpose of catching waste,
seepage, scapage and spring waters
rising on their own land which has no.
otherwise escaped from their control.
This case was up once before in very
much the same form and temporary
restraining order was issued. c. w.
Darrow represented Mrs. Davis while
Judge Dollison resented the attack for
Boulton.
Wednesday the attachment suit of l..
Franz versus the Home Brewing com.
pany was heard, or rather the claim If
Walter c. Wilhelmy, as interveno..
The intervenor was represented by At
torney Walker of Grand Junction and
Judge Dollison represented Franz. The
case had to do with the Home Brewing
bar at Minturn which was operated in
the name of w. Wilhelmy until that
gentleman, through the financial diff
culties of the Home Brewing company
of this city, transferred the business
to his son, Walter C. When Franz,
through the sheriff of Eagle county,
attached the stock, w. G. Wilhelmy
claimed it by=reason Of bill of sale.
The court looked with considerable
suspicion on the bill of sale and Judge
Dollison did not hesitate to brand t. e
whole transaction as a system of fam
lily jugglery to beat legitimate creditors.
Judge Shumate finally sustained Dolli-
sons motion to dismiss w. c.. Viii
heImy's petition in Intervention, thas
shutting the young man out of court
and allowing Franz's judgment to
stand.
AS the Post goes to press the court
is hearing the case of the Rifle Mer-
camille company against Horace 6.
Brown ct al, this being case where
the plaintiff company furnished goods
to two of Browns tenants on the claim
that Brown guaranteed the bill. Brown
denies this and resists the claim.

U. S. Minister to Nicaragua
Taking Advantage of Our
Baths During Vacation
IS WELL KNOWN HERE

Occupying quarters at the Hotel
ferson, formerly of Steamboat Springs,
but now of Managua, Nicaragua, where
they have been stationed for the past
two and half years, DR.. Jefferson be-
ing United States minister to the Re-
public of Nicaragua and the personal
representative and mouthpiece in that
country of President Wilson through
whose good favor he holds his appoint
ment
The republic of Nicaragua, like the
other five states of Central America,
has been rent asunder and kept in al
most constant turmoil by its numerous
revolutions, extending back almost to
the beginning of time, and yet it is
country, rich in possibilities and potent
in wealth under conditions of thrift
and enterprise for which our own coun-
| try is noted.
The people are restless lot and they
want to be kept busy, but they never
have been directed along the lines of
progress as have the people of the
United States and hence there is much
room for Improvement and advancement
in that country. .. 81 {
However, DR.. Jefferson likes the peO-
Pile very much and he is especially fond
of President Diaz who is young man
of many likable qualities. DR.. Jeffer-
son says as minister to that country
lis relations to the strange epople have
been most pleasant and cordial
Oftentimes the people are led assray
by false notions and they are very
quick to act upon impulse, hut they
are susceptible to reason, and there ls
where the diplomatic ability of one
like Minister jefferson comes in good
play and he has often been able to set
tie difficulties which might otherwise
have assumed serious proportions.
The Jeffersons have just passed
through what is called winter in that
tropical country, although it is only a
rainy season and the temperature IS
almost the same as in summer ,abont
95 Fahrenheit, but it seems cooler be-
cause of the rain and in contrast with
GUNNER when not drop Of moist '.e
falls for about six months.
The chief products of the land are
cotton, coffee, rice sugar cane AMI
tropical fruits. The stock industry Is
also an important asset of that countr.r
and there are numerous mining oppor-
tunties only awaiting the genius OF
enterprise and thrift.
DIR. and Mrs. Jefferson are taking ad-
vantage of their leave of absence to
visit Glenwood and to avail themselves
of her famous baths with which the
doctor was quite familiar while resi-
dent of our neighboring town Of Steam
boat Springs. DR.. jefferson reports
that President Diaz is contemplating a
visit to America and DR.. Crook of the
Glcnwood Hot Springs and Hotel com
pany has sent him cordial invitation
to visit our famous resort and enjoy the
pleasure and benefit OF our wonderful
, taths.
