CALLAHAN INDICTMENT

The indictment brought at the insli-
CATION of James Sheridan of this city
against 7. F.. Callahan of Grand juno
tion, charging the latter with issuing
check in favor of Sheridan when Cal
lahan had no money in the bank TO
meet the check, was argued before
Judge Black last Saturday and the in
dictment was quashed.
The check which Callahan gave Sher-
idan in partial settlement of booze
account was dated ahead and the ruling
of the court was based on the PROPOSE
tion that when q. man gives post
dated check for past consideration,
no crime is committed, even though he
has no money in the bank to meet the
check, because in the opinion of the
court, no rights are lost.
In other words Judge Black holds
that no property passed at the time
Callahan made and delivered the check,
and that Mr.. Sheridan lost no rights,
but still has his civil remedy in court.
This action against Callahan was
brought under the 1915 statute making
it q criminal ofsense to pass check
without having money in the bank to
meet it, and this is the first decision
the Post has seen which bears ON the
subject.

MESSAGES GO FAR
Range of Wireless Aerial Mate
rally Increased.
Successful Experiments Have Shown
Possibilities That Have Given
Great Encouragement to Those
Undertaking Them.

A series Of remarkably successful
and interesting experiments were con-
Quoted by the United States Signal
corps at the recent maneuvers I'm
Massachusetts in maintaining a wire
less aerial by means of box kites and
thereby increasing the efficiency of an
ordinary field wireless outfit from s
to 16 times. The tests were conducted
by Samuel F. Perkins, maker and
flyer Of man-lifting kites.
Favorable strong and steady winds,
says the Scientific American, in re-
porting the experiment, enabled Mr..
Perkins to send up string of kites to
an altitude of 1000 feet Messages

LOCAL TEAM LOSES
TO LEADvHLE

In what was perhaps the fastest
game played this year by the local
high school basketball team our boys
last Saturday evening lost the game
played in the Cloud City, the score
being 81 to 20 in Leadvilfe s favor.
In view of the fact that the referee
called IL fouls on the Glenwood team
and only one on Leadville, and the
further fact that, especially in the
second half, the locals were somewhat
affected by the high altitude, the re-
suit is very satisfactory to the home
team, this being the first game they
have lost this season, and this score is
so close as to make the defeat almost
victory when all the facts are con-
sidered.
The Glenwood boys kere in ex-
cellent trim and the fact that
they walloped the Leadvilles on
our own floor some time ago
mollifies to a great extent the unde-
cisive victory of their hosts last Sat
urday.
The girls game was very tame af-
fair Us compared to the lively skir-
mish of the boys, and was won by the
Glenwood lassies. While this game was
lacking in "pep" as compared to tho
boys contest it was plain to be seen
that our girls were superior players to
their Leadville sisters and they easily
won the game by score of IL to q,
thus offsetting the slight defeat the
boys suffered.

WHAT ALCOHOL DOES
By Robert Ingersoll

l am aware that there is prejudice
against any man who manufactures alco-
hol. 1 believe that from the time it
issues from the coiled and poisonous
worms in the distillery until it empties
into the jaws of death, dishonor and
crime. it demoralizes everybody that
touches it.
All we have to do, gentlemen, is to
think of the wrecks on either bank Of
the stream-of deaths, Of the suicides,
of the insanity, of the ignorance, of
the destitution, of the little children
tugging at the faded and withered
breasts of weeping and despairing moth
ers, of wives asking for bread, Of men
of genius it has wrecked, the men
struggling with imaginary serpents-
produced by this devilish thing; and
when you think of the jails, of the
almshouses, of the asylums, of the
prisons, of the scaffolds upon either
bank, 1 do not wonder that every
thoughtful man is prejudiced against
alcohol.
Intemperance cuts down youth in its
vigor, manhood in its strength, old
age in its weakness. 1t breaks the
father's heart, bereaves the doting
mother, extinguishes natural affection,
grasses conjugal love, blots out filial at
tachment, blights parental hopes, brings
down mourning age in sorrow to the
grave. 1t produces weakness, not life.
1T makes wives widows; children or
phans, fathers fiends, and all Of them
paupers and beggars. 1t feeds rheu-
matism, invites cholera, imports pes
thence and embraces consumption. 1t
covers the land with idleness, misery,
crime. 1t fills your jails, supplies your
almshouses and demands your asylums.
1t engenders controversies, fosters quar-
rels and cherishes riots. 1t crowds
your penitentiaries and furnishes VIC
tins for your scaffolds.
1t violates obligation, reverences
fraud and honors infamy. 1t defames
benevolence, hates love, scorns virtue
and ISLANDERS innocence. 1t incites the
father to butcher his helpless offspring,
helps the husband massacre his wife,
and the child to grind the parricidal
axe. 1t burns up men, consumes wo-
men, detests life, curses God, despises
Heaven. 1t suborns witnesses, nurses
perjury, defiles the jury box and staias
judicial ermine. 1t degrades the citi-
zen, debases the legislator, dishonors
the statesman and disarms the patriot.
1t brings shame, not honor; misery, not
safety, despair, not hope; misery, not
happiness, and with the malevolence
of fiend it calmly surveys its fright
full desolation and unsatiated havoc.
1t poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins
morals, blights confidence, Stays repu-
tations and wipes out national honor,
then curses the world and laughs at
its ruin. 1t does all that and more.
1t murders the soul. 1t is the sum
of all villainies, the father of all crime
the mother of all denominations, the
devils own best friend and Gods worst
enemy.

Poisoning by AeropIane varnlsh.


The enormously increased produc
tion of aeroplanes during the war
lends point to warning. regarding the
varnish employed. At the aeroplane
works in Johannisthal a number of
workmen employed in the vanishing
department were taken seriously i'll,
and two deaths resulted. The most
important symptom was jaundice due
to decomposition Of the blood. On
Investigation the cause was found to
be poisoning by tetrachlorethane, the
only solvent known for the highly
combustible acetylcellulose. These &C
cidents led to an order forbidding the
use Of solvents containing high per.
centage of Observation-Disclosures.

Attitudes With Kites.
transmitted from the set of field wire
less attached to this kite-supported
aerial were received $50 miles away
with distinctness, although the ordi-
nary range of the set was only rs
miles. One thing that aided materially
in obtaining this result was the fact
that the kites flew SO steadily that the
aerial was always maintained at q
constant altitude.
Quite as remarkable as the sending
power of the wireless was its receiy-
ing quality. Messages were received
with distinctness from the battleship
Georgia while of Newport and from
the government station at Arlington.
Va, and Bermuda.
These experiments were but the
first of long series that will be con-
Quoted, and 1t is the belief of those
who are interested in the matter thAt
they will lead to system by which
the range of the ordinary field wire

Oldest Weather Reports.

The oldest weather diary known to
he in existence was kept by Lincoln
shire (Eng.) parson, William Merle,
close on 600 years ago. From 1887 to
1874 he wrote it up, often day by day,
in Latin, and his manuscript, being on
vellum, was somehow preserved and is
now III the Bodleian. Merle did not
trouble himself with the popular lore
about "skyey influences" but stuck to
an accurate record of fact, in the spirit
at least of the modern meteorologists.
And from his jottings it seems that he
had pretty much the same kind OF
weather to deal with as folks iL ais
parish of Frilby experience now. Con
trary to theory, the changes of six cen.
turies have not reduced the number OF
wet days In the year.
