TELLURIDE IS
LEADING CAMP

Telluride, May 6:-Telluride Is the
biggest and best mining camp in the
state Of Colorado today and is emu
ploying nearly 1000 men, according to
the statement Of Robert Innes, deputy
state mine inspector for the fourth dir
trict. Mr.. lnnes has just completed
his regular annual inspection work in
the Telluride mines and reports them
to be in the very finest condition.
For the past ii days Mr.. Innes has
been in the Telluride district and dur
ing that time has inspected every
working property in the district. When
asked recently about the mines of
this district, he stated there were a
total of $40 men employed in the vari-
Gus mines Of the Telluride camp, thus
showing it to be the biggest camp in
the state today. This is nearly $50
more men than are employed at the
present time in the famous Cripple
Greek district; about three times as
many as are employed in Leadville,
and nearly four times ~ many as arc
employed in the Silverton section.
Mr.. Innes said that at every proper
ty inspected by him he found matters
in good shape and much work being
done. These $40 men were producing
approximately $4,000 tons Of crude
ore each month. At every one of the
big mines, Mr.. Innes found a vigorous
campaign Of development in progress,
looking toward keeping the mine i'm
splendid condition. Il is his belief
that Telluride will continue TO be the
leader among Colorado mining camps
at least for the remainder of the pres
ent year.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec S.-Jerusa- lem Temple. Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, through it's potentate and other officers today filed in civil district court d petition asking that local organization known as Plata Temple No. 15" be perpetually enjoined and prohibited from using in any manner whatever the name of Mystic Shrine" or any insignia or badge used by Jerusalem Temple.
 "Platta Temple" is an organization of negroes,
 The petition alleges that the head of "Platta Temple" is designated as "potentate;" that the organization has other officers of names and des- ignations similar to those adopted by Jerusalem Temple, and that the membership is held in secret and surreptitiously covered up." It is further alleged that the members of "Platta" call themselves "nobies" and "Shriners" and that in calling their order the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" they have adopted a colorable imitation of that of Jeru- salem Temple, which is the same save for the word "Egyptian."

REICHSTAG ADOPTS
 CHANCELL0R'S LAW
Cabinet Given Plenary Powers To
 Run The Government ,.s

BERLIN, Dec S.-(By Associated Press.)-Chancellor Marks authori- zation law. granting his cabinet plenary powers to run the govern ment's affairs without parliamentary sanction for an indefinite period was adopted by a large majority in the Reichstag today. The vote was SIS to IS.
 The bill had the undivided support of the four midde parties, which con- stitute the present coalition and the whose ballots more than nullified the opposition of the nationaists and communist.
 While the law primarily is intended to enable the government to pro- nounce emergency legislation of an economic and social nature, it is suf- of the conference confronting the government in the Rhineland and Ruhr, while the Reichstag Is enjoy ing a holiday recess which in all probability will extend well into the new year.
 The new governments victory to- day was made possible by the un- divided support accorded it by the socialists.
 It is heralded as presaging an era of parliamentary and political calm which Chancellor Marx and his cabi- net members propose to devote to the job of salvaging Germany's finances and alleviating the social distress with respect to the food situation and
