Quently the employee has been entirely

lied any obligation for length Of SER

ished and much useless expenditure Is
avoided. About ten per cent. Of the
applicants for employment in one store
were affected by tuberculosis. An
other store revealed twenty.four cases
Of this disease In the first thousand
examinations Of It's employees and in
another instance four cases with posi-.
tive capacity for injecting others were
found among the first two hundred
and fifty examinations. Diseases like
dlphtherla and tonsillitis, which are
likely to become epidemic and are cas-
lily transmitted through contact, were
promptly isolated. At one time the
shoe department Of another store was
almost entirely depleted by spread Of
acute tonsillitls.
During the smallpox epidemic phy.
sicians attached to the department
stores vaccinated the employees, who
became advocates also Of vaccination
against typhoid fever. In one store.
during 1915, 2O3 applicants were es-
pecially examined for skin. throat and
lung diseases. Leaflets dealing with
the eradication Of -vermin. colds" tu-

were distributed among the applicants.
When an employee Is found Ill with
fever, he Is sent home and instructed
to remain in bed. Cultures are made
and treatment Is outlined. until the
family physician is consulted or proper
hospital arrangements can he made.
Cases requiring dispensary care or ex.

We shall not enter into detail but be
content with stating that some serious

the nurses and physicians employed in
these establishments. Both employers

.R. C. DICKENS ASKS BAIL
SAYS NOT GUILTY AND EVIL
DENCE PURELY CIRCUM-
STANTIAL.
on Which He Is Held, But Says
Proof Is Not Clear.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Boulder. Colo.-With an affidavit in
which he admits practically all the
evidence secured by the authorities
10 be Used against him in his trial is
true, Rienzi Dickens, held in the To-
cal Jail for the murder OF his father,
W. H. Dickens, filed an application
for bail. A strenuous effort will be
made by District Attorney R. w.
Fleming to have the application de-
MED.
Four reasons were cited by the
prisoner why he should be given his
freedom on bail. First he asserts
that he is not guilty of the murder
or any connection with it. Secondly
he contends that he is entitled to
bail because he claims the proof
against him is not evident and that
the presumption is great. He cites
Article H., Section 10, of the State
Constitution, in which he claims that
presumption small the defendant may
be released from custody on bail.
He next claims that the evidence
is only circumstantial; and, lastly,
that even if conviction was secured
at the trial the sentence could not
be- capital punishment.
In the affidavit he admits he pur-
chased a high-power rifle. He used
the gun. he asserts. five times,
while target practicing. He also
admits that the shell which was
found in the ash pit in the rear
of his home is identical to those he
had explodide while practicing. That
he took the rifle apart and distrib-
uted the sections throughout his gar
age he admits, as does he the purchas-
ing of silencer for the weapon. The
admission that he was absent from
his home at about the time the shoot
ing occurred also is recorded.
1t is the general opinion in Boul-
der that drastic steps will be taken
to keep the prisoner in jail.

PROHIBITION
PENALTY LAW
CONSIDERED BY DISTRICT AT
ToRNEYs AND sHERIFFs AT
MEETING IN CAPITOL.
Hotel ROOM NOT Home
"DRY LAW ENFORCERS" FIND
MANY TRICKY TERMS TO
LOOK OUT FOR.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

| Western Newspaper Union News Service
Interpretations of many
points of the prohibition penalty law
were generally agreed upon Tuesday
by the district attorneys and sheriffs
of the state in a special meeting held
at the capitol for consideration of en-
forcement of the law when it goes
into effect Jan. l. But upon one point
of wide interest to the public there
was a divergence of opinion. Some
held that under the law person can
not give away to guests in his home
| liquor imported into the state after
Jan. l. Others held that an individ-
ual can give such liquor to friends on
the condition that the liquor is i'm
ported for his own personal use and
the giving of it is merely incidental.
Attorney General Farrar and many
others hold that the imported liquor
can be given away in a private home
within limits determined by its use.
John Rush, district attorney of Den
yer, and others, believe that only
| liquor on hand Jan. can be given
| away in the homes afterward and
that the wording of the law strictly
prohibits the giving away of imported
| liquor, thus coufining it absolutely to
the use of the importer
Under the later Interpretation a
man could give the imported liquor
to his family. that being construed as
personal use, but not to friend who
happened to be in the house.
ici Of ha Ia NJ
doubtedly be surprising to the general
public were brought out in the discus
sions and generally agreed upon.
Among these were:
That, under an Interpretation of the
law by the attorney general. persons
living in hotels will be violating the
law if they keep liquor in their rooms
in the hotels. Attorney General Far
rar holds that the law, by specifically
mentioning hotels and rooming and
boarding houses, puts them outside
the classification of private homes. AL
though man and his wife, or a sin
gle man, make their homes in rooms
in hotels they will be violating the
law if they give away or even keep
liquor in their rooms.
Liquor cannot be kept in clubs al
all. 1t will be violation of the law
for a person to carry liquor for per
sonal use from one county to another
or from another state into Colorado
without registering the fact and the
amount with the county clerk.
Persons importing liquor as freight
will have to go to the freight houses
to get the liquor themselves, unless
the railroads install delivery services;
delivery of liquor by an agent is for
hidden.
Express or other shipments deliv'
cred directly by the carrier can be re
ceived only by the consignee in per
| son. mans wife, son or brother
can not sign the necessary affidavit
of receipt for him.
Whether near beers" soda pop and
other soft" drinks that contain al
cohol are intoxicating beverages and
prohibited from sale will have to be
determined as subjects of fact
There appeared to be preponder'
ance of opinion that persons import
! ing liquor after Jan. 1 can give the
| liquor away in their homes.
