NOTORIOUS BoOTLEGaER
CONVICTED OF PEJURY

Grand junction, Oct. 1l.-At mid
night the jury in the Abe Ong perjury
case brought in a verdict of guilty as
charged and the venerable and oft
convicted bootlegger and man who de-
fies the law stands open to penitentiary
sentence for his crime of which Re
stands convicted. The evidence was
apparently conclusive.
The testimony showed that Ong
swore to being bankrupt and unable 20
pay the costs of his fourth or fifth
bootlegging conviction. Ong made ths
affidavit on Aug. 2, 1915, and was re-
leased. The evidence proved that he
had property, although he had trans
ferred most of his realty to other par
ties about year prior to the affidavit
in question.
Ong will be sentenced this week,

in the plainest terms they can command
that the conference was convened for
no other purpose than to provide Tor
the withdrawal of American troops
from Mexican territory, and assert tnat
all the talk of the American delegates
about claims against the Carranza gov

etc, is simply ''bunk' put out for its
political effect in this country and
wholly unwarranted by the facts. But
even this bunk must be curtailed Or
Carranza will call off the conference

new HOME OPENS
TO STATE INSANE
BUILDINGS AT PUEBLO ASYLUM,
COSTING $225,oo ARE CON-
PLETED AND DEDICATED
TO HUMANITY.
MOTTO OF "WOMEh FIRST"
Burden Raised from Many Counties
Thru Republican AdmInistra-
TONS Efforts

Pueblo, Colo, Oct. 1.-THE most
humane step which Colorado has ever
taken-one in which every county,
city, town and citizen should be i'll
terested-came today, when the three
new buildings at the State Asylum
for the Insane, in this city. We're de-
clared open for patients, and when one
OF those buildings actually received
patients.
Women First" was the good policy
observed In the three buildings there
is ample room for 800 patients, and
today 100 women were received. I'm
mediately 200 more patients-male
and female-will be enrolled. Thus
all of the states insane Will be cared
for in the asylum and an unjust load
will be taken from various counties
that have been compelled, through the
asylum's former inadequacy, to care
for many of their own insane.
The new buildings are fireproof.
germ proof, epidemic proof. and. what
is quite as much to the public credit,
they are debt proof. They were paid
for before they were opened. In ad-
dition there is lighting plant, heat
ing plant, kitchens, and the finest hos
pital rooms and every latest clinical
equipment and apparatus.
In his inaugural address in January,
1915, Governor George A. Carlson
spoke of the deplorable condition Of
Colorado's insane patients who could
not all be housed in the state asylum
and who were scattered through the
various county hospitals and poor
farms. It was the states duty, as
Governor Carlson saw 1t. to care for
these people in the proper manner.
He announced in favor of m sppropEi.
promise addressed a message to the
Legislature, which Republican bod!
responded with $226. 900 for the build.
ings. In their erection, however,
$4,000 was saved on each structure
over what had previously been paid
by Democratic administrations for
other buildings which were not fire
proof nor highly sanitary. This >l5.
900 was saved to the state despite the
soaring cost of building material.
Further Investigations by Governor
Carlson revealed $50 insane patients in
the different counties. The number
had been increasing during the two
shafroth administrations and the one
Ammons administration, yet nothing
was done by the state to house these
people in humane way until Cover.
nor Carlson took hold.
The Democrats had left 4 deficit in
the treasury, and the $225.00o cost
looked like an appalling, discouraging
proposition. But the buildings are
up: they are ready for patients; anc
all is paid for.
1t is one Of the vast and laudable
accomplishments Of the Republican
administration. And even with thi.
and other things Of like scope, the
Carlson administration, heir to large
deficits from three Democratic admin
istrations, can today point to q treas.
ury surplus Of over 100000.

CRIME IN DENVER DECREASES
UNDER THE DRY LAW

Crime in Denver is on the decrease,
though Eastern criminologists have
stated and have offered statistics in
proof of their statements that there is
an alarming increase in crime in the
United States.
Chief of Police Armstrong and Dis.
trict Attorney Rush are authorities foI
Denver s claim of crime decrease. Tne
former estimates this falling Off at At
per cent and the latter, speaking OF
crimes of violence, at 80 per cent. Both
attribute the cause mainly to the dry
laws in the state.
Denver also can offer statistics in
proof. For example, the number OF
prisoners day in the county Jail aver
aged during September, 1916, eighty
two and one-half, and in September
1915, l55; August, 1916, eighty, and
August, 1915, l57Hs; July, 1916, IS and
July, 1915, 145.
This decrease has become SO marked
That Mr.. Rush has employed only nine
deputies this year, while last year he
employed ten deputies.
Chief Armstrong estimates the big
glaries and holdups and the least de
crease in the number of murders.
Suicides, he said, practically are moi
governed in this decrease.
"Since Colorado and Denver became
dry" said the chief, "crim,s have con
sistently decreased. In the past great
number of the crimes here in Denver
were committed when men were undel
the influence of liquor. Since the sa
loon has been run out, fewer men have
| taken the trail that ends in the peni
tentiary.
"Burglaries and holdups, many Of
which were committed when men hac
few drinks under their belt, show tn,
greatest decrease; forged and worth
less checks are fewer, the latter in par
ticular, because most men only wrot,
these worthless checks while under tn,
influence of liquor. Murders show {
| much less decrease, as man who com
mits murder doesn It necessarily hav,
to be intoxicated to do it.
"1n the decrease of crime and Grim
inals, prohibition has been an excellen
thing for Denver.'
The eastern criminologists pointed
out the alarming increase in the mum
Der of young criminals. AS a matter
of fact, the young thieves have prac
tically wiped the old thieves off the
map.
Chief Armstrong attributed the sa
loon in the days when Denver was wei
as one of the great preparatory schools
of crime. In Denver the number Of
youths who became criminals is de
creasing steadily each month.
In former days II or 1S-year-old
youth, in order to be smart, would form
the habit of frequenting saloons and
acquire the taste for strong drink Tt
be the sport he wanted to be he had
to have money. Hangers-on about the
low dives formed acquaintanceship with
many of these youths, filled them full
of drink and started them on the down
ward path that brings up abruptly al
the gate of the reformatory or the peni
tiary, with the youth on the wrong
side of the gate.

In the fourteen months extending
from December 9Th. 1914. to February
10th, 1916, there were fifteen mes
sages, letters and speeches Of Presi-
dent Wilson which I have read. In
these fifteen messages, letters and
speeches, during those fourteen
months, President Wilson took forty
one different positions about prepared
ness s1ind the measures necessary to
secure it; and each of these forty-one
positions contradicted from one to six
of the others. In many of his speeches
the wensel words of one portion of
the speech took all the meaning out
Of the words used in another portion
themselves had u weasel Significance
as regards yet other words. He ar
gued for, preparedness, and against
preparedness. He stated that our
army was ample; and that we did
not have enough troops to patrol the
Mexican border In time of peace. He
! said the world was on fire, and that
sparks were liable to drop anywhere
and cause MS to burst into fame; and
he also sid that there was no imme-
diate daner. He said that there was
no suddeit Srisis; and then again that
he did ndAnow what a single day
would blf forth. He said that we
were oH II verge. QS.a maelstrom;
and then that there saas- Ne special

ger was constant and immediate; and
also that we were not threatened from
any quarter. He said that there was
no fear among us; and also that we
were in daily danger Of seeing the
vital interest and honor of the country
menaced and the flag Of the United
States stained with impunity. He
said that we were in very critical
danger Of being involved In the great
European struggle; and also that
there was no need to dicuss the
question Of defense, or to get nervous
or excited about 1t. In one and the
same speech. he said that sufficient
number Of men would volunteer, and
that II they did not he would be
ashamed of America: and he also said
that he did not know of any law
which laid upon them the duty of CON-
ing into the army, II it should be
necessary to call for volunteers. He
said that we needed 100000 volunteers.
and that II there was any legitimate
criticism Of this demand it was be-
cause it was too small; and as soon
as Congressman Hay objected to the
plan, he promptly abandoned 1t. He
said that the National Guard was not
the proper body upon which to rely:
and then not only changed his own
mind but forced his own Secretary of
War out Of his cabinet, because this
Secretary possessed less flexible con-
victions and was unable instantly to
reverse himself when going Mt full

v idespread and considerable has been
the rise in the prices OF Dutch stocks
on the Amsterdam bourse since its
reopening after six months idleness in
February. 1915, that a list OF a hun
dred OF the principal banks, industrial
concerns, Oil, development, rubber,

a total gain in value of over $112,-

the basis of the difference in quota

been a considerable decline in the
case of certain other stocks. but the
present position is on the whole a
striking one in view of the fear and
anxiety with which the reopening of

UNIVERSITY
Illinois TAKES
UP AERONAUTICS

URBANA, H., Aug. Is. - Aero.
nautics is to become a regular fea-
ture of the curriculum at the Univef.
sity OF Illinois, and a professor has
been provided for the course, which
is to be taught for the first time with
the beginning of the present college
year II is a part OF the mechanical
engineering division.
The faculty has been convinced
that with the close of the European
war aeronautics win play an import
ant part in the development of me-
chanical engineering and that ii is
not altogether improbable that de-
velopment somewhat similar, even
though not so important as that of
the automobile, will take place
The new course is to be in charge
of Elisha n. Fales of Buffalo, n. Y,
with the title of assistant professor
Of aeronautics. He is said to be IA
miliar with the latest practises in
aerorlane design and construction.
having devoted the last several years
to their study and construction. He
has done a great deal of wind-tunnel
work and devoted special attention to
the technical side of aeronautics.
This is the first time that aero
nautics will be taught at any college
as a regular course of study. 1t is
probable that in the near future &C
tual flying will be taught and that
several aeroplanes will be purchased
or constructed for the purpose.
