Colorado Central
Shuts Down Temporarily

The Colorado Central mine,
which has been a boon to George
town for several years, has sus-
pended operations, or rather, OPP
erations We're forced to be sus-
pend by the employees quitting.
When the men went to work
Monday morning and found a no.
tice embodying proposition
which they refused to agree to,
and returned to Georgetown and
endeavored to secure the wages
due them. The management, not
having the means to pay in full,
paid out what funds were on hand,
which amounted to 20 per cent of
the payroll. Manager George Col
Inns wired the company in the east
the conditions, but they refused
to honor the call for funds.
So everything is in the air, and
attachment proceedings were in
stituted. Manager Collins blames
himself for not suspending opera
tions several months ago, when he
realized that it was a losing prop
osition to operate the mill and
dumps during the winter months.
Had the men stayed with him, he
says, he would have been able to
pay out in full during the summer
season. But the men wouldn't
take that chance. Mr.. Collins
says he intends doing all he can
to see that the men lose nothing,
but at present he does not know
just what can be done.
The eastern and western hold
ers have been out of joint for a
long time, but now that things
have come they will work in har-
mony to save themselves.
1t has been Mr.. Collins desire.
ever since he took the manage
ment, to work the mine instead of
the dumps. He says he has the
greatest faith in the mine. Had
his desire been complied with, in
all probability the property would
today be in a prosperous condi-
tion.-Georgetown Courier.

Collins is EXOnerated

George E. Collins, an employe of
the Colorado Central Mining COM
pany, who was recently arrested
on the charge of having swindled
sixty miners in his employ out of
approximately $4,000 was COM
pletely exonerated yesterday when
the case was dismissed at the re-
quest of the miners. Collins, it is
said, sold what property he could
and attempted to procure the
money for the miners, who de-
manded pay for their work dur

Henry Mattingly celebrated his
twenty-fourth birthday Sunday
evening at the home of his sister,
Mrs. George Athanasion. Quite a
number of friends were present
and enjoyed an evening of music,
singing, clocution and dancing. A
sumptuous spread was served and
in the center of the table was a
huge birthday cake with twenty
four candles burning brilliantly
and informing the guests that the
host was a few years older than
he would acknowledge.

SCHOOL NOTES
(By D. W. ls2o.)

Denver buying an interest in d.
& F., Lewis & Son, Denver Dry
Goods, ETC., so make allowances
for the column this week, please.
Prof. Slaven "speeched" few
moments to I'VE, us, and Co.."
Tuesday morning, and our delight
was great for number of reas-
ons. First, it shortened Spanish
period fifteen minutes; second, we
had been looking forward to it
ever since his arrival and were
getting rather impatient; third,
we now know that we should be
good children" when visitors
drop in so as to create good i'm
preston and live up to our good
reputation.
We are gradually completing
our work for the year until the
most of us have but one textbook
left to master (D. The next dread
ed thought is examinations, and
many are lamenting over what
might have been," and heartily
agree that those are the very
"saddest words of tongue or pen"
Such line of chatter as this may
meet ones ears ever and anon
"Oh, Miss Nortmann, do you think
l will have to take 'em? Miss
Miller, how many marks have l
lost this week? Do l have to take
more than one exam? Do you
think l can make Algebra if |
work hard? What is my deport-
ment for this month so far? Will
8912 be equal to 80, and if we get
that will it be all right? Oh, I'll
die if l have to take 'em! l won't
take emil" Of course, the Fresh
men won't have to take them-on-
ly about nine of them at the most.
They are certainly workers. Why,
some of them have an average of
69A and surely that's as good as
70. You can pass on 70 anyway
"by the skin of your teeth" Why
on earth don't they come to the
mighty Seniors for a little good
advice? We would be so glad to
give it-and we know all about
such things. We were once Fresh
les, although l admit we don't
look it now, and OF course weren't
ever quite as green as those of
1920.
The Senior Class Play is pro-
crossing "scrumptuously." Even
our patient director, namely Job
ii, allowed his enthusiasm to get
away with him last evening at the
Opera House and congratulated
us warmly on the first act. Pm
afraid if we were to organize as
a company, the Denham would
have to go out of business for
sure. Mr.. Laird is certainly put
ting forth his best efforts and we
shall feel deeply indebted to him
for his labor-for labor it certain
ly is.
Miss Miller: Last years Jun
ior's didn't know how to find the
area of a circle. Now boys, you'd
better get some of these little
things up your sleeve while you're
going to school"
Earl: 81 have some of those
things on my cuff now, Miss Mill
err"
Hesper (absentmindedly scrat-
ching her head): There's some
thing been bothering me for sew
eral days."
Louise: Better get some in
sect powder before they get
worse"
Did you ever see such a school
for wit? The place is absolutely
overflowing with it.

GREAT "FIxER," is LARDNER
According to chauncey Depew, Humor-
ist Is "AIl to the Good" as
Diplomat.

Chauncey NJ. Depew is a great ad-
mirer of Ring Lardner and delights to
relate an anecdote concerning the WELL
known sport writer and hun,orist. 1t
was at club in Philadelphia and n
certain gentleman whom the crowd
was trying to entice into spending the
evening there declared he could not
remain because he had promised his
wife he would come home.
"I'll fix 1t for you," said Lardner, and
darted into the phone booth. Present
ly he emerged, shouting:
"It's all right. old chap, your wife
says you can stay"
"HOw in the world did you manage
to bring her round?" asked the amazed
man.
Easy" replied Lardner. II told
her you were roaring drunk and should
l bring you home or keep you here,
and she said:
"You can have him. Mr.. Lardner.' "

ate by vote of > to l. Thirteen Dem
Ocrats cast their votes with the united
Republican membership on the final
roll call and the resolution respect
fully declining" to grant congressional
authority for the mandate was adopted,
81 to 23, in the form drafted by the
Republican leaders.
In the debate the Democratic lead
ers cOunseled delay and tried in vain
to put the decision over until the next
session of Congress. Scarcely u voice
was raised in out-and-Out advocacy of
accepting the mandate and on motion
to amend the resolution so that the re-
quested authority be given, only thir-
teen senator's, all Democrats, voted in
the affirmative. Recorded against the
motion We're twenty-three Democrats
and thirty-nine Republicans.
In their effort to ward off action,
which they argued was advisable be-
cause of the peace treaty deadlock, the
minority leaders had better results.
The resolution to send the resolution
back to committee with instructions
that 1t be reported after the ratifica-
tion of peace treaty with the central
powers" mustered almost solid Demo-
cratic support but was lost 43 to a.

ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who led
the administration fight for the ratifi-
cation of the treaty of Versailles, an
nOunced they did so only because they
felt the direct language of the measure
would discourage the efforts of the
Armenian people
Senator Hitchcock presented an
amendment, which he said would make
the resolution acceptable to him, pro-
viding for joint commission of Amer
leans and Armenians to rehabilitats
the new republic economically. 1t was
rejected, 43 to "a, with only two Repub-
licans, Senator Kenyon of Iowa and
Townsend of Michigan, supporting 1t.
Senator Walsh of Montana, and sew
eral other Democrats declared the for
eign relations committee had drafted
the resolution hastily. In reply, Sena-
tor Lodge, Massachusetts, the Repub-
lican leader, pointed out that Il SUBJ
committee had made an exhaustive
investigation of the Armenian situation
before the Presidents request was re-
ceived.

Lodge, ito have this country give to

GREAT LITTLE BALL PLAYER
Only One Thing Wrong With Mary
Ellen Was That, as Pitcher,
She Lacked Control.

Four-year-old Mary Ellen dearly
loves to play with her seven-year-old
brother and his little friends. To
make herself what he labels good
fellow" she initiates all their traits
Now she is permitted to go with them
outside and play outside games.
And recently they have begun to
play ball. Mary Ellen's part in this
has been for the most part chasing
stray balls. But In her heart she
aspires to be pitcher. And the 9th.
er day when her mother was out in
the yard she exhibited her ability in
that line. Don't you think pitch
good, mother?" she asked. "Why, 1
throw out my leg every time throw
the ball-just like the man did out
at the ball park"
And she did. too, every time.
