DRY LAW BARS LOCKER SYSTEM
Governor Carlson Puts That construc-

Governor Carlson Puts That Construc-
tion on Prohibition Measure.
Denver Governor Carlson believes
the dry" law prohibits the mainten.
Rnce of the locker system in social
clubs, by means of which each mem
ber could keep liquor. The executive
said clubs cannot be classed as
members homes" "a man cannot
have two homes = his club and the
place where his family lives-any more
than he can have two WIVES" the
governor declared.
Leading clubs of Denver have an.
nounced their intention to dispense en-
tirely with liquor after Jan. I :, if the
Supreme Court upholds contentious of
state officials in two suits pending in
court.
Within the next three weeks meet
ing of the District Attorneys Associa-
ton of the state will be held to dis.
cuss prosecutions of violators of the
prohibition law.
A special call will be issued by Dis
trict Attorney Purcell of Ell Paso
COuuLy, pIeS1u0uIs dCCOAOAA6 " HoNOA-
nor Carlson.
The governor and the attorney gem
eral will meet with the prosecutors.
A special fund OF $4,000 was
granted the governor by the General
Assembly to aid in the enforcement of
the law, and it is probable the COVER
nor will appoint special officer to
aid in gathering evidence. ~
Bargain" sales of liquors in antici-
patton of the enforcement Of the law
have already begun, and many citizens
are beginning to stock their cellars.
According to state officials the only
place an individual can keep liquor for
his own consumption, without liability
of seizure, will be his own home.
Estimates vary as to the amount of
liquor now held by Colorado dealers
which they will have to sell or ship
away. Federal revenue officers think
the total value is at least $3,500,O00.
Adolph Seibold, =. president of the
Liquor Dealers Association, esti-
mates it at between $2.5oo.OOo and
$3,OO0,O00.

result of the United States request
for the removal of Captains Boyd

LOngmOnt, COlO., Dec. 6.-Develop-
ment of a clew unearthed by a police
man eliminated Friday in the arrest
of Renzie G. Dickens, son of William
H. Dickens, the wealthy Longmont
banker and merchant assassinated
last Tuesday night, on a charge of be-
ing his fathers slayer. Dickens was
taken into custody at the close of his
fathers funeral, as a result of evil
dence gathered by the authorities and
which District Attorney Fleming an
nounced would be the basis of formal
charges of murder against Dickens.
Dickens maintains he is innocent
but refuses to discuss the charges
against him. The purchase of a
high-powered gun in Denver by the ac-
collection of evidence against Dickens
which the police characterize as "in-
eliminating" The gun was purchased
a month ago from a Denver hardware
company. Payment was made with
part cash and check on a Longmont
bank. The purchaser later obtained
a "silencer' and this information fol-
lowing the Staying Of the Longmont
banker was given by a clerk of the
store to Patrolman E. L. McKinnon.
McKinnon in turn informed the police
department and search for the gun
and silencer was made about Renzie
Dickens home.
Various parts were located in his
garage, together with box of cart
ridges, five shells Of which were found
missing. When first questioned. the
son Of the murdered man. according
to the police, denied having ever
possessed a high-powered gun. When
confronted with the parts picked up
by the police he admitted he had pur-
chased the gun, the authorities say.
The stock of the gun was found with
the box Of cartridges behind trunk
in the rear of Renzie's home, the
silencer on the top of a rafter in his
garage. The barrel Of the gun was
found in barn a block away.
Asked if he had fired the weapon,
the police say he replied Five times"
Renzie's debts, according to rumors,
range between $35,000 and 100000 and
motive for the shooting of the elder
Dickens is claimed by the police in
the hopes of inheriting his wealth at
an early date.
That it was the intention of the
slayer to kill the elder Dickens and
his wife with one shot, is the belief
of the police.
The bullet was fired, it was found,
from a point where the aged banker
and his wife were in a straight line.
Evidence to support the theory is
further strengthened, say the police
by the fact that Mrs. Dickens, who
was seated across the table at which
her husband was shot through the
back, was grazed by the bullet.

ductable from the total because its re-

ury. That leaves 1869, ,4s2.929 as the
actual total of appropriations Con-
gress is asked to make, or $167 1885,
4O1 more than last year.
Not a single establishment OF the
government asked for less than was
given last year. Many requests were
made for increases because Of devel-
opments of the war in Europe.
The administrators estimate Of
military and naval expenditures, in
cluding the first years cost of the
new national defense program, asks
for $152,354,259 for the army and
$211,518,074 for the navy.
For the two branches the increase
asked over the appropriations last
year is about $124,00O,00O. exclusive Of
the amounts for Notifications and
other items which may he included in
a general scheme Of military defense.

and organized Monday for the session,
which is expected to be the greatest
within the memory of the present gen.
Grafton. Four hours work in the
house saw Speaker Clark returned to

turned to the leadership of the Repub-
lican minority; the introduction OF
1000 bills and resolutions, many OF
them proposing measures of national
defense and many more in opposition;
the temperance of constitutional
amendments to enfranchise women,
and a miniature rules fight that flick
cred out with the adoption of last
years rules with few changes.
In the Senate practically nothing
was done except the election of Sena-
tor Clark of Arkansas as president
pro tempore. Vice President Marshall
was absent because of the illness of
his wife.

peace were submitted to Congress on
opening cay. proposing total outlay
of $1,2S5,S5 S57,s0S, or $170.e53,614 more

BLAKE GANG FAIL IN
MALICIOUS PERSECUTION

He had none. He said it was based
on rumor. Asked to name some per-
son he had heard say that Agent
Krough had done one single wrong act
and this fellow hung his head and
admitted that he could not name one
single person. Yet Jim Blake and
Pat Blake and himself had preferred
charges against Mr.. Krough. At
least the Blakes were backing him in
his miserable meanness. Need more
be said? Fitzdoodle was then COM
pelled to withdraw his charges
against Agent Krough.
The hearing against Mr.. Matlock,
the section foreman, followed. The
same gang was behind the effort to
oust him. The Republican is in
formed that there was some evidence
that Mr.. Matlock had at least been
indiscreet and he was repremanded,
but will hold his position.
There is intense feeling against
those responsible for the outrage, and
all day yesterday there were threats
of mobbing Jim Blake and Fitz-
gerald. Tar and feathers were about
the mildest thing suggested. There
is feeling that Fitzgerald is only
an unprincipled tool doing the dirty
work for Jim Blake, and that Pat
Blake is aiding and abetting.
