SHOULD De BETTER SYSTEM
OF APPREHENDINC CRIMINAL

w. ]. Wertman, who lost his barn
few weeks ago, has been unable so
far to apprehend the miscreant who
set the blaze, Notwithstanding it is a
settled tact that this was the way the
barn was destroyed-by iRcendiary
origin, a. = man was seen leave the
premises just as the fire got started,
snd the most convincing thing Of all
was that the horses were taken out
Of the barn and taken to place OF
safety and tied. being found the next
morning.
This much of the chain Of evidence
is as clear as crystal, but the puz-
zling thing is who did the job? Mr..
wertman did not know, nor does he
believe, that the deed was committed
by an enemy Of his, and this makes
matters worse for the general public,
to know that there are characters at
large WHO will do such awful deeds,
for they never know who will be the
next victim.
OF course it is a very difficult un-
dertaking to apprehend q CRIMINAL of
this character, and 1t is matter not
20 much for the sheriff ~ IT is for
skilled detective. We understand
that Sheriff Jones has devoted con-
siderable of his own time to this case
and . good deal Of this time was on
his own initiative, as there il no fund
which the county commissioners can
draw from to pay him for detective
work. And this is the point we are
about to make-why haye We no
such fund? At first thought we are
apt to blame the county commission
ers and say that I'VE pay taxes and
feel that that fact should entitls "
to such protection However, there
seems to be no fund for this purpose
because there is no law on the statute
books Of Colorado for the spprehen-
sion Of criminals, further than that
the sheriff is allowed mileage fees
for answering cali in case OF, IN
mergency like the above, but there
is no fund upon which the county can
draw to justify the sheriff putting .
great deal Of time on the case.
Right here there seems to be some
thing radically wrong with our sys-

FIRST COMMUNITY STORE
IN D. c. GIVEN TRIAL
Prices Lowered by Experiment
Tried at Park View School,
on Newton Street.

The first community buying mar
ket ever conducted in this city was
put into operation today by the citi-
zens' food council at Park View
School, Newton street northwest. and
it was a success, according to ]. @.
McGrath, president Of the council and
general manager Of the store.
Householders of that section bought
vegetables, butter. eggs. groceries,
canned goods and several other COM
modities at prices which benefted
their pocketbooks by margin which
made an appreciable difference which
penses for week end meals.
District Commissioner Gardiner was
one Of the statesmen this morning. He
killed a pig at his farm last night and
this morning, before a number Of
householders Of the Park View sec
ton, who called to do their marketing,
he cut up the animal. He remained
or the job, and before IL o'clock had
sold the pig. Postmaster Chance, for
a short time. acted as salesman.
Word reached Mr.. McGrath after the
store had been in operation a couple
of hours that stores in the vicinity
had reduced their prices on several
commodities to meet the low figures
of the community store. Mr.. McGrath
stated that was the object of COM
munity buying-to force retailers to
lower prices.

CONFEREES REACH
|MPASSE ON TAX BILL
War Excess, Estate Inheritance
and Second-Class Postage
Rates in Dispute.

Conferees on the war revenue bill
made no progress today toward ad-
justment of the few but vital dis
putes remaining. Although final and
probable complete agreement on the
bill was predicted by both Senate
and House managers, it was stated
that they have reached an impasse.
temporarily at least. on the war ex-
cess profits, estate inheritance. oil
and second class postage rates. be-
sides a few other minor differences.
After a brief meeting today the
conferees' adjourned until Monday,
with the Senate managers holding a
separate conference later to, discuss
the situation.
The conferees, it was learned, have
loced horns, particularly on the war
excess and estate Inheritance tax pro-
visions. House managers are demand
ing an increase in the Senate schedule
for 1919 war excess profits. while the
Senate managers are equally insistent
upon the Senate amendment substitut-
ing inheritance for the House estate
taxes
On the oil schedule the House man
ayers are holding out strongly against
the Senate relief" provisions allow
ing 20 per cent tax exemptions In sale
of oil and gas properties.
Another dispute is over the amend
ment of Senator Thomas of Colorado.
adopted by the Senate. levying 100 per
cent taxes on campaign contribution
over $500.
Regarding the dispute over second
class postage rates, it was predicted
today that ultimately the Senate pro-
vision repeating existing rates would
be eliminated from the bill.

Forever end the maze of doubt, sus-
picion and intrigue which exists today
In Paris councils, and get on with the
business of reconstruction, which is
absolutely essential if the world is to
be saved from an orgy of social up

These are the demands that pour
upon statesmen Of allied powers and
the United States as results of the

But little has been done of the big
business of the conference in the es-
tablishment of definite machinery for

toward the future relations of nations.

friendly alliance in getting the ball

England and Italy have been patient
with excuses given for lack of a
greater progress. But as the days
