JUDGE GARY MAINTAINS
 FIRM POSITION ON STRIk D

Washington. October 5.-(Spec.al)
 Judge F. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, might have sur prised certain members of the Senate committee on labor and education as a result of his unbending attitude re- specting their request that he arbi- trate differences with striking labor, but he surprised no one else.
 Judge Gary expressed regret that he could not do what individual mem bers of the committee. notably Chair
 man Kenyon and Senator Walsh Of Massachusetts suggested-tha he arbi-
 trate At the same time he was deter mined in his opposition. He could not
 be moved by any subtleties of arsu- ment He was as firm In his position as the labor leaders. Fitzpatrick and Foster. were firm in their own.
 The chairman of the directors of the corporation talked very freely to tie members. He reiterated the we'll known principles of the corpora tfor,, those under which they will permit any man. unionist or non-unionist, to work under the ''open shop" basis under which they wifi talk with their | men but not with union leaders rep resenting their men.

Managing Editor of Age Herald, Imbued With Ideas of Birmingham's Great ness, Finds People From Everywhere Boosting
 Their Homes
By c. M. STANLEY

Ordway, Colo, October 5.-( (SpeciaL)-A loyal Birmingham man leaves his city with the idea that it is the greatest city in the world; that it is the most pros porous and that if those of other sec tions of the country only knew of the many wonderful things that are happen ing and being done in Birmingham there would be such a rush of new residents that the city would be unable to take care of them
 On the train this Birmingham man will meet, for instance, some of the prosper ous farmers of northern Mississippi, and the stories they tell of what has hap pened in that section during the past two or three years surprise him,
 Passing through Arkansas & pros- porous looking fellow passenger tells him that his state is doing more in the way of building highways just now than any other state in the union, and that Arkansas is just beginning to show what is really in her.
 A young sailor discharged from the navy will chime in with the statement that he is on his way to the old home farm in northeastern Kansas, which is undoubtedly the greatest farming com mGnity in the world Tt has just one objection" he said, 'and that is that 1t is so prosperous the land has become so high the present generation hasn't a fair chance in getting started on any kind of scale; I have worked on farms in the south, in Utah and various parts of the central west and to my mind the most ideal place for man to begin farm ing is South Dakota. That is the country for me if my folks will just consent to my breaking away from the old home"
 PROSPERITY IN SOUTHWEST
 In Kansas City are found preparations for a great land show and carnival, where exhibitions are to be made of the things being done in the entire south west, and this city's prosperity reflects the good times over a wide section of great agricultural country.
 Coming further west & geologist on the train will tell you of his recent oil work in Kansas, Texas, Wyoming and Colo rado; of the fortunes he sees made in this industry every day of the untouched minerals in the various states of the Rockies which alone would make the United States the wealthiest nation on the globe.

ITALIAN STEAMER WAS FIRED ON BY
 JUGO-SLAV TROOPS
By Associated Press

Bari, Italy, Saturday, october 4.--The report that the Italian steamer Epirio. with 20o Italian troops and other passen- gers aboard was fired on by Jugo-Slavs from Rondoni island, near Cattaro, Sep tember 90, is confirmed. Only a few shots were fired against the steamer then only about 100 yards from the shore. But a cavalry soldier. Eugenio Balliani, is in the hospital here with bullet wounds.
 The Epiro, which was on it's way to Cattaro when fired on, re-passed the scene of the shooting upon leaving that port, escorted by a French torpedo boat, but there was no further shooting. Ac- cording to reports circulating here, the Jugo-Slavs attacked the steamer in re- venge because during the war a squadron of airships commanded by D'Annunzio dropped Sombs on Fort Mamula on Ron doni island.

report of a rumor At the same time, it is regarded as logical that the President. in the psychological moment should make some advances to the end that tae
 inharmonious situation might be com posed. Should the President act Tn this
 respect it is judged that he would aoan-
 don his position that the reservations must be devoid of vital substance. He
 would very probably make all the conces-
 sions that he could without jeopardning
 the treaty or making it accessory that the treaty be returned to Europe. In that event the republicans wouid meet the President half way. But should
 the. President continue to insist on rati- fication without reservations there is lts-
 tie question but that 3S republicans would
 be so bold as to stand out against the
 executive decrees and continue their op' position even to the point of rejection.
 The idea obtains in Washington that
 the treaty or making it necessary that preserved But it is generally conceded to be true that some act tantamount to a compromise must be undertaken by the administration before that end can De achieved.

 The resignation, state department of- ficials explained today, was based upon MT. Garrett's desire to return home, aft CT being out of the country on diplo- matic missions. for nearly 20 years. Previous to the war, he was minister to Argentina, and after the outbreak of hostilities was sent to Paris as special agent of the government to as- sist the American ambassador.

Figure Out Mine Taxes

Fred w. Bradley, president of
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany, has been appointed one of
three mining engineers in the Un-
tied States representing the sill
yer and gold industry, to help the
government unravel the apparent
ly hopeless tangle in which the
mining industry is involved over
the war tax and excess profits tax
on mining properties. Few if any.
of the producing companies have
paid taxes since 1917, but are
holding vast sums in reserve
pending the governments con-
clusions as to what amounts are
due. The uncertainty of the
amount to be paid, resulting from
no clear Interpretation of the law
to guide the taxpayers, has caused
millions of dollars to be held in
reserve, much of which will go to
the stockholders after the law is
adjusted and the tax basis estab-
lished. Thruout the nation from
this source the government will
probably receive between $780,
100000 and 5000, 100000. During
1917 the combined taxes of min
ing, mineral and metal industries
paid over $766, 100000, or 35.1 per
cent of the total corporation taxes
of the nation. The committee of
Fl leading mining engineers and
mining lawyers, which was named
to straighten out the tangle and
work out an equitable basis of
federal taxation of mines, has
representatives from each of the
leading metal industries.
Some idea of the magnitude of
the mining industry can be gain
ed from the amount of taxes it
pays. From the standpoint of
general prosperity in the west,
the Importance of establishing
equitable taxation rulings for this
industry cannot be overestimated.

Revenue Officers Raid
Still at Baltimore

Revenue officers from Denver
picked up moonshine still at
Baltimore in the northern end of
the county, Tuesday afternoon. In
the raid they found a big 10O-gal-
lon copper still, an open air con-
denser and worm. Philip Shantz-
man and Harry Lapidus, who
were at the still at the time were
placed under arrest. The men
have been placed in the Boulder
county Jail and the distilling ap-
paratus, consisting of a truck
load, taken to Denver.
According to federal officers
who made the raid, the still was
in operation at the time of their
entrance. The two men were said
to be making liquor from a sugar
and yeast combination. Twelve
gallons of the liquor were seized,
together with 300 gallons of sy-
rup mash, 700 pounds of sugar
and twenty pounds of yeast. The
plant is capable of manufactur-
ing thirty-five gallons of liquor
every twenty-four hours.

Rollinsville.
The car in which the men were
riding was seen to pass thru Cen

iff Bass passed it at Cold Spring
as he was coming into town. The
car would attract attention as it
had only one light burning. While
at Rollinsville the car was run up
and down the road in front of
Station Agent Randell's house
and was noticed by Mrs. Randell.
The occupants of the car evidently
were keeping a lookout for the
station agent while their accom-
plices burglarized the depot.
After pulling the trick at Roll
insville the car was run to Boul-
der, where the gang broke into a
commission house and took a
quantity of flour and provisions.
The members of the gang were
familiar with the country. They
drove up from Denver via Idaho
Springs, and at Rollinsvilla
seemed to know just where the
station agent lived and the aban-
doned road they took to break in
to the strong box.
The sheriffs of Gilpin and
Boulder counties are on the look
out for the men, but have been un-
able to get the slightest clew as
to the guilty parties.

Radium minerals generally found in connec-

granite forms at least part of the rock of the coun

Carnotite and tyuyamunite are the most abund-
ant of these minerals and now furnish the bulk of
the worlds radium. They not be told apart by
the eye, for both of bright canary-yellow color
and are powdery, finely crystalline, rarely clay
like in texture. Carnotite is hydrous potassium
uranium vandate. Tyuyamunite is similar in COM
position but contains lime instead of potash. The
greatest known deposits of these two minerals are
in southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah,
where both are associated with fossil wood and other
vegetation in friable porous, finegraned sandstone.
Small quantities of carnotte have been produced
