idly in Colorado during the past
three or four years, and especially
dufing the past year. The pr0duc-
ton OF honey for 1917 was so cars
for the state; it is estimated this
year that $50 cars have been pro

this industry for this year up to
$750,000. With such growth in the

His first great feat was the production
Of a "gridiron pendulum clock" the
first chr0nometer, which In 1785 he
took 20 the royal commission. II was
tested by the commission by being
sent on n voyage 10 Lisbon.
The test was not decisive, and Har-
rison continued 70 work on bis chro-

period Of 20 years. In 1871. when SIX

DEATH OF B0L0
PASHA WILL BE
ASKED As K|!'..|: TODAY !
All Evidence in Trial of Alleged
French Traitor Completed
Tuesday
U. s. DATA IS QUESTIONED

Paris, Feb. 13.-All the evidence,
testimony and speeches by witnesses
in the case Of Bolo Pasha, who is on
trial for treason and apparently all
the other "affaires' now under inves-
tigation before the French court, had
been concluded yesterday afternoon,
and tomorroW's sitting will open with
the arguments of the prosecutor. He
will ask that the sentence of death be
imposed upon Bolo.
The trial was resumed today with
NJ. Doyen, an expert accountant, again
on the stand to refute charges made
by Monsignor Bolo, brother of the de-
PENDANT, that Doyen had dishonored
himself by classifying portion of his
original report on Bolos activities.
The witness spoke with great reserve
and moderation, declaring merely that
he took exception to the form in
which these criticisms were present
ed by a man who strangely abuses
the moral authority conferred on him
by the cloth he wears" M. Doyen,
then reiterated and explained in de-
tail the portions of his report which
the prisoners brother had challenged.
Reiterates His Attack
After NJ. Doyen had testified, Mon
signor Bolo again took the stand and
reiterated his attack Of yesterday, es-
pecially on the authenticity of the
kilograms of Count Won Bernstorff,
former German ambassador to the
United States, duplicates Of which, he
insisted, should be produced rather
than to rely on American state de-.
partment documents.
When the prosecutor, repeated as
on Monday that the American gov
eminent could not be questioned, the
priest created a scene by asserting
passionately: n
No Right to Shoot innocent
''The American government has not
the right to shoot my innocent broth
err" rEs 3.&. .s y ..s.,i ~ ,.,. 81
Maurice Viollette, former minister
of subsistence, testified that the cur
rent opinion among parliamentary
and ministerial circles in August, 1917,
was that no case would be found
against Bolo Pasha, and that M. Pain
leye. then minister of war, had assert
ed that the case did not warrant an
arrest. @ 'gtFi 3 ~
