SECRETARY LANE IS FRIEND
.cf the West, Says Clyde
Dawson.
Clyde C. Dawson has just re
turned from a month’s visit to
Washington, where he went to
look after some coal land cases
in which he is attorney.
“I believe the new secretary
of the interior, who is the chief
pabinet member so far as the
West is concerned, will be more
favorably disposed toward the
ir. e ests of the West than was
Secretary Fisher,” he said last
night.
“Mr. Lane, has a better con
ception of what the West wants
than had his predecessor, and, I
am inclined to believe, will try
to soften some of the rulings of
the department as to the man
agement of the lands in this part
of the country.
“Fisher went to far in_ many
of his Jrulings and policies and
while I do not anticipate any
great change in the conservation
policies of the department, I do
expect a modification of much'of
the harshness of the administra
tion of the last secretary.”—

STORM TO CONTINUE
DURING THE WEEK
| WASHINGTON, Mar. 24:-
Abnormal storm activity and
moderate fluctuations in temper
ature will prevail the country
over during the coming week,

experts.
‘‘A storm central Sunday over
the Rocky Mountain region,” the

"will move rapidly northeast,
accompanied by shifting gales.
It will be preceded by rains and
much warmer weather at the be

ern ancl southern states and be
attended by snows in the north
western states and along the
nw;thern border. It will be de
cidedly colder Monday and Tues

Wednesday generally east of the
Mississippi river.
Another disturbance of wide
spread influence will develop in
the far west about Wednesday
or Thursday, move eastward, at

DRY FARMING HAS PAID
Back 80 per Cent
Of Big Loans
The annual meeting bf the
Commercial Investment company
organized last year for thfe pur
pose of loaning money to the
farmers in the eartern part of
| the state to tide them over a bad
season, will be held at the Cham
ber of Commerce building. This
was a stock company and many
of the members who subscribed
did so with the belief that it
would prove to be charity work.
Much to the surprise of the offi
cers, the plan proved to have
been one of’unusual merit and of
the SIO,OOO loaned out, 90 per
cent has been repaid and'it is
believed a greater part of the
other 10 per cent will be paid in
time.
After paying all the expenses
of the there will be
80 per cent to return to the
stockholders and they anticipate
a fair amount of the balance.
The financial assistance ren
dered was of great value to the
dry farming sections and the
fact that so large"a per centage
has been repaid shows that the
farmers were successful with
their year’s work. While the ex
periment was for but one year,
it js understood a movement will
be put on foot to make the plan
a permanent thing and that this
or a new company will engage
in the business of loaning money
to farmers in sections where
they are most in need of finan
cial assistance.—Denver Times.
Political Pull Cuts No Figure
With President
WASHINGTON, March 21—Disap
pointment is the daily guest of the dem
ocratic senators and represenatives
who are working to secure appointments
for party workers witiiout due regards
to their litness for the employment
sought. Woodrow Wilson apparently
is outdoing Grover Cleveland in his
attempts to keep the oiiices away from
the spoilsmen,
Tlie president forced tho lighting
against reduction in the senate, but he
has not been compelled to force the
lighting in the office seeking matter,
simply because thus far the men who
want offices for others have refused to
light, holding harmony and the party
future to l>e tilings superior to present
promises of goverment jobs.
Outside of the appointments to cabi
net positions President Wilson thus
far lias named only a baker’s dozen
of men to office. Only two of these
appointees were backed by strong po
iticul pull and congressional influence
Senators Stone and lieed of Mis- ■
sourl asked that Alexander M. Dock
ery be given the place of third assis
tant postmaster general, and Mr.
Dockery was appointed. Tills seem
ingly was almost wholly a political
appointment, and tne naming of John
I Blakesly us fourth assistant post
master general through the intluence
of A Litcholl Palmer, of Pennsylvania
was an appointment of like nature.
The post office department ordinari
ly is tlie one which suffers from poli
tics. Tile postmaster general nearly
always is a man who has done valued
service in tho preceding campaign.
Mr. Burleson.was a Wilson man
from the start, and his start kept him
going not only through the conven- I
tion preliminaries but through the !
convention itself and tho campaign ■
which followed.
The postmaster general, however |
has suid that his office is to stand as
firmly upon a civil service basis as it 1
can be made to stand
The appointment of fonnsr Gover- |
nor John Burke of North Dakota as ;
treasurer of the United States has been
held by some as a purely political ap
pointment.
It may bo of interest to those who
so hold to know that tlie president !
does not regard it in that light. He j
hud been asked to appoint the Dako- j
tan to this place, but it can be said on 1
seemingly proper authority that he
had made up his mind that tho former j
governor was the man for the place
before any one liud made application
in his behalf.
In the matter of ambassadorships
the president has refrained from con
sulting the politicians as to their likes
and dislikes. He wants to satisfy Mr. ;
Bryan, of course, because Mr. Bryan !
will have to do with the ambassadors 1
and it can be taken for grunted that
no one will be appointed uguinst J
whom the secretary of state enters ob
jection.
It is said that the president will en
deavor to make sure, of course, that
any man wiiom he names for a foreign j
mission will be certain of conlirma- i
tion by the Senate.
John Skelton Williams, of Rich
mond, Vs., was made assistant secre
tary of the treasury without any con
sultation whatever with the politicians
Even the senators from Mr. Williams
home state did not know his name
was under consideration.
B. T. Galloway was appointed as
sistant secretary of agriculture on the
recommendation i / Secretary Houston
There were live other candidates for
the place besides Mr. Galloway, who,
however, could hardly be called a can
didate, because he did not make his
desire for the job known in any way,
except by mere statement that he
would like the place. Most of the ap
plicants had political influence buck
of them.
Franklin K. Lane was taken from
the commission to be made a member
of the cabinet. Mr. Wilson nominated
James Marble, the commissioners sec
retary, to fill the vacant pi ace made by
Mr. Lanes promotion. There was no
politics nor' political inlluence in the
Marble appointment.
“HIS FEAR, NOT KISS,
MADE ME KILL MAN IN
MY WIFE’S ROOM”
Burlington, Colo., March 22 “My
wife put on her nightgown, 1(9 scratch
ed on the door, entered, took uiy wife
In his antis and fondled- and hugged
her. They kissed. Then I shot be
cause he ran when I stepjied out. He
was a coward.”
Tliis story of Frank Schlyer, who
crazed by gossip that N. 3. Allen,
proprietor of the hotel at Flagler,”
Colorado was employing Mrs. Schlyer
as a cook in order to visit her unham
pered in his hotel, killed Allen last
night, lias aroused a wave of sympa
thy for tiie slayer throughout Kit Car
son County. •
Schlyer hid in liis wife's room dt
tiie Flugler hotel, watched the love
making for an instant, stepped out
from behind tiie dresser, drawing ills
revolver.
“He started to run and I called
Halt!” Schlyer says. “He kept on
running and I said as Hired: If you
are going to act like a dog I’ll shoot
you like I would a dog.” ,
“When I entered tiie room I natu
rally expected to kill somebody or
get killed if I found conditions as
they were rumored.”
Following is tiie statement made by
Schlyer in jail, where he fuces a mur
der cimrge:
“I proved up on my quarter section
of land, which is about ten miles sou
th of Vona, last Monday. While we
.endured many hardships, my wife and
I have lived there happily together
for three years or more jintil Novem
ber 28. On account of needing clothes
and money, my wife went to Flagler
to cook for Allen, who runs a hotel '
at that place.
“I began to get rumors -about six'
weeks ago that all was not right, a't
this hotel, and was told "that if I re
spected my wife I had better take her
away from there. Last Sunday I vis
ited my wife and tried to persuade
her to come home, telling her that our
children, two boys, 10 and 12 years
old, needed her at home, that I had
my spring work to do and that stie
was needed more at home than she
was at Flagler.
“She ridiculed me and laughed at
ine und asked what I would do if she
should refuse to tome home. I told
her there was no law to force her to,
come, that I knew of, but that it was
her duty. While in Flagler I heard
through friends that lie was not treat
ing her as lie should a cook.
“it worried me so I could not work
or sleep at home. Friday l made up
my mind to find out liow true these ru
mors were. I went to Flagler hid my
self behind my wife’s dressing case in
her room.
“About 8:30 my wife entered the
room, undressed and put on a night
gown. In a few minutes some one
scratched on the door and she opened
it. Allen entered the room. He took
my wife in his arms and began loving
and kissing her. When it had gor.e
this far 1 could stand it no longer. I
stepped out from behind the dressing
case. Allen staitsd to run and Ii al d
him to halt, he paid no attention but
kept on running. I said if you are
going to act like a dog I will shoot
you like a dog, or words to that ef
fect, pulled my revolver and shot him,
“I have always been good to my
wife, have done my best to provide
for her. I neither drink nor use to
bacco in any form, have always help
ed her with the housework or had the
boys belli her. In fact, I think the
trouble is that I have been to good to
her in humoring her in all whims and .
requests.
“When I entered that room I. natu
rally expected to get killed or to kill
somebody if I found conditions as
they were rumored.”
Allen did not bear a good reputa
tion and _ was arrested a short time
ago for selling whiskey in his hotel
Allen’s wife left him some time ago.
Schlyer is the first man to have en
tered the Kit Carson county jail on a
murder charge.
Schlyer walked into tiie hotel office
immediately after the shooting and
gave himself up to the sheriff, who
was summoned.
The scene of the killing is 110 miles
east of Colorado Springs in a dry
farming settlement. Schlyer is 32
years of age. His.wife is a few years
younger. A direct information will
be filed against Schlyer ' charging
murder ,by district attorney, M. W.
Purcell.—Rocky Mountain News.
Mrs.Keither and mother, of
Pittsburg, Pa., arrived in Chey
