THE NEW ERA
WALDEN, - - - - COLORADO.
Baseball is a Business
The development of baseball as a
business has been so complete that it
has attained a prominence second to
no other American industry in exten
siveness and importance. The busi
ness of baseball flourishes wherever
there Is a stretch of level ground and
enough lumber to make a bnt, and as
more people are interested in it
than in any other single industry in
the country, surely it is the most im
portant. In Chicago, where the live
stock trade has acquired somewhat of
a reputation, it is extremely probable
that most ol the inhabitants, if con
fronted with the alternative of giving
up either their mqat or their baseball,
would choose to become vegetarians,
says Charles A. Comiskey in Ameri
can Business Man. The statistical ex
tent of baseball is diflicult to estimate
•and not likely to be overestimated.
Approximately 300 professional teams
are listed under the national agree
ment, and to the players of these clubs
Aver $2,577,000 was paid out last year
in salaries. To maintain the grounds
of these clubs and for incidental sal
aries there was an additional expendi
ture of $2,500,000. For railroad fares
the club owners parted with close on
to $1,000,000, and for hotel bills for
the traveling clubs the amount paid
out approximated $150,000. For spring
training expenses the magnates part
ed with $125,000, part of which they ,
made back, of course, in the ante-sea
son exhibition games. For all addi
tional expenses rolled up by the clubs
playing under the national agreement
there was an outlay of at least sl,-
000,000.
Comets are not now regarded as
signs that “forerun the death or fall of
kings," but this superstition was still
current in the time of Queen Eliza
beth, though, to the amazement of her j
courtiers, the queen calmly scorned it. j
The curious thing was that it was also J
thought that if the sovereign would '
refrain from looking at the malignant |
celestial passer-by no harm would
come to her. On one occasion Eliza
beth’s attendants shut and curtained
her windows, but her majesty, as
might have been expected, with “a j
courage answerable to the greatness :
of her estate,” caused them to be
opened, crying as she looked up, “Jac- j
ta est alea —the die is cast." Then,
like Cnut on the seashore, she read
her people' a homily, asserting that
her “steadfast hope and confidence
was too firmly planted in the provi
dence of God to be blasted or affright
ed with those beams which either had
a ground in nature whereupon to rise,
or at least no warrant in scripture to
portend the mishaps of princes.”
No more green consuls are to be
sent abroad to represent America if
the plans of the state department
which have just been put into practice
realize expectations. Ever since the
establishment of the consular service,
it has been customary to allow a newly
consul 30 days with pay be
fore leaving America for his post. A
room in the department has been
equipped as a complete working Amer
ican consulate, suitable to transact,
the business of an American consul in
any part of the world, civilized or un
civilized. Appointees are no longer
permitted to spend that 30 days’
period in their own way, but are re
quired to report every day at the state
department for duty, and to spend a
certain number of hours in this model
consular office, receiving instructions
and acquainting themselves with
every practical detail of a consul’s
daily work. The best of instruction l»
provided.
Coincident with the centennial anni
versary of tho launching of Fulton’s
steamboat Clermont is revived the
legend that the boiler of the boat was
made from copper cents. The early
copper coins of the country were, as
are the gold coins of the present,
worth their face value as metal. It
frequently happened that tho easiest
way, and not a costly way to get cop
per for use in the arts, was to collect
the coins and melt them. There is no
record, so far as known, of where
Fulton did get the copper for the
boiler, but when a coin collector at
tempted to secure a cent dated 1799
he discovered that cents of that date
were rare, and that it was not much
easier to find a cent of 1804, yet more
than 750,000 cents were coined in 1804
and nearly a million in 1799.
Ten cents a word for wireless mes

1 “The management of the Western
Live Stock show has generously given
space in an exhibit hall and set aside
a sufficient fund to cover all premiums
offered,” says an official announce
ment by the Grain Growers’ associa
tion, “and if we make a success of our
part of the show, we may be able to
convince the management of the ad
bisability of making this grain and
forage exhibit a permanent feature of
the show. We trust that all members
of the Colorado Grain and Seed Grow
ers’ association will take an active
part in helping to bring a good repre
sentative showing from their sections
of the state. Speak to your neighbors
about this and let every farmer and
! ranchman who grows feed crops help
show the visitors of this coming win
ter’s live stock show at Denver what
our Rocky Mountain valleys, parks
and plains produce to feed the fine
specimens of live stock we know we
can grow. Other states will compete
for these prizes, so one and all must
get busy and win as many of these
prizes for Colorado as we can. Above
all else, we desire such a showing as
shall make this feature permanent
“Decide what you have on hand
which can be used, put it away and
send to W. H. Olin, president Colo
rado Grain and Seed Growers’ associa
tion, Fort Collins, Colorado, for in
structions as to preparing exhibits.’’
“Dead Wife” Comes Back.
Cheyenne, Wyo.—One of the strang
est divorce cases ever tried here re
sulted in a decree for Bert Halford, a
[Union Pacific employe, who sued for
i separation from his wife Mable, alleg
, ing desertion and infidelity. Halford
I was deserted by + ne woman in Salt
Lake several years ago, and subse
quently received news of her death.
Last spring he married a young
woman of this city. Two months after
the wedding the first Mrs. Halford
turned up alive and well. Through no
fault of his own Halford was in the po
sition of a bigamist, so sought to ex
tricate himself by securing a divorce
from his first wife. The first Mrs.
Halford did not contest the proceed
ing.

1,500 KILLED
IN EARTHOUAKE
RAIN OF FIRE POURED OUT UPON
ANCIENT CITY AND ALL LIFE
IS DESTROYED.
WICKED CITY DOOMED
BUT FEW ESCAPE THE AWFUL
SCOURGE AND LIVE TO TELL
TH C TALE.
Taskend, Russia. —Karatagh, a town
»n the province of Bokhara, the wick
edest section of country in the world,
las been stricken from the face of the
earth. A mountain, riven by an earth
quake, toppled over on the town and
buried its population of 1,500 people in
one vast grave. According to dis
patches received here, the Russian gov
ernor and his mother were among the
few who escaped.
Bokhara is a khanate of Central
Asia and a vassal of Russia. Its peo- |
pie are fanatical Mohammedans, who,
preserving a rigorous observation of
the outward forms of their religion, are
addicted as a whole to horrible vices,
and the utmost moral corruption pre
calls. The few Europeans who have
visited the country other than the Rus
sian rulers, have called it the land of !
Sodom and Gomorrah, and state that
all the vices of the East and West
flourish there. Its women are more de
graded than in any other Mohammedan
country, although the province is dis
tinguished from others in Russian Tur
kestan by its Mohammedan schools.
Follows Earthquake.
The destruction of Karatagh followed
the great earthquake of October 21st.
This temblor was registered in the ob
servatories of the world, but its place
of being has not been known for the
reason that the country is remotely sit
uated, it requiring a full week for news
to get out by courier.
Karatagh is situated In the Hussar
t.istrict, is noted for its manufacture
of sabers, cutlery and fine silks, and is
located at an elevation of 2,500 feet
above the level of tho sea.
Bokhara formerly occupied consider
ably more territory than now, having
been reduced by the conquests and en
croachments of Russia, which have
been only partially compensated by
some additions. Its present area Is
about 92,000 square miles miles. The
country is to a great extent occupied
by deserts and low and naked ranges
of mountains, and the cultivated por
tions of it are confined to the valleys
of the rivers, especially the Oxus or
Amoo Daria, which forms the southern
boundary for a considerable distance.
Mixed Population.
Bokhara is in no part more thm* 1 ,XOO
feet above the level of tho sea, but in
the extreme east is mountainous The
total population amounts to about
2,250,000, and consists of the Uzbbecks,
who are the ruling race, and to whom
the emir belongs: the Tajiks, who form
the majority of the capital; tho Kirg
hizes, less numerous than the Tajiks;
about 00,000 Arabians, descendants of
the soldiers who were brought into the j
country by the third caliph of Bagdad .
on the occasion of the conquest of Tur
kestan; Persians, who have chiefly
been brought, as slaves to Bokhara;
Turcomans, Hindus, and about 10,000
Jews, who live in the towns beyond the ;
protection of the law.
Bokhara, the capital, which is the \
center of Tartar civilization, is ill built,,
and has a gloomy aspect, and in luxury i
of dress and mode of living is far be- :
hind the times of western Asia.
Naval Battle Between Comrades.
Vladivostok.—An exciting little na
val battle took place in this harbor
today between the mutinous crew of
a Russian torpedo boat destroyer and
their loyal comrades. The mutineers
i finally were subdued, but not before a
I number of men had been killed or
j wounded. The mutinous boat is the
I Skory and she gave fight to the gun
i boat. Mandschur, the destroyers Gar
i sovez, Smley and Zerditz and the gar
[ rison of on of the forts manned
by tho Twelfth regiment of
artillery. The Skory soon was
overwhelmed and had to be beached to
save her from sinking. This was not
accomplished, however, before her
guns had done considerable damage
and several officers and men of other
ships had been killed or wounded.
The crew of the Skory was incited
by agitators, Including some Jews who
had managed to get on board. She
steamed out into the harbor with the
red flag flying, and at once opened fire
on the town and forts. A gunboat and
three destroyers went out to engage
her, and, with the aid of the forts, soon
had the Skory riddled and helpless. She
then turned and ran through the surf
and was beached.
Those members of the crew not
killed or injured were arrested by th°
soldiers as they made their way to
land. Among the men killed are Cap
tain Kurosch, commander of the tor
pedo boat Ravy, and Lieutenant Stoer
commander of the Skory. Lieutenant
Vassilieff, commanding the Serdltz
1 was wounded. Several people in Vlad
ivostok were killed by shells from the
Skory. The town has been declared In
a state of siege.
The Needle Traveled.
Denver. —A needle that Mrs. Ella
Whetmore accidentally jammed into
her left hand yesterday in ley? that
three hours traveled to her oibow
whence Police Surgeon Ackley re
moved It last night.
Mrs. Whetmore lives at 2436 Stou
street. Early In the day she stuck a
needle in a door. She forgot it, and
when a neighbor rapped she tried to
open the door nnd the needle entered
brr hand dose tc the index finger and
disappeared.
, .n nour later Mrs. Whitmore’s wris.
became stiff and attempts to move i.
resulted In extreme pain. Then 6bc
summoned the police surgeon.
Woman Hangs On Lamp Hook.
Denver. —Braiding a rope out ot
strips torn from bed clothing, Miss
Mary Keller, thirty-seven years of age,
used it to hung herself to a hanging
lamp hook in the ceiling of the parlor
of an old fashioned cottage occupied
by herself and her two anmarried
brothers at 2930 Vallejo street.
Although the body was discovered
before life was extinct and a record
run was made by Police Surgeon Pres
ton and Carl Baker in the ambulance,
the woman died while efforts were be
ing made to savo her. She had been
lonely and despondent, it Is said, for
weeks, and as she left no letters ex
plaining her actiou and confided in no
one regarding her troubles, this is ac
cepted by the police as the motive for
the deed.
Miss Keller’s younger brother, Jack,
eighteen years old, works nights, and
Tony, the elder brother was down
town on business when Miss Keller
prepared to kill herself.
Placing a chair, without a back, she
topped it with another smaller one
and, mounting this pedestal tied the
braided noose to the hook and ad
justed the other end about her throat.
Then she jumped from the chairs and
evidently had been hanging for some
time when her brother Jack came
home front work. He found the house
locked and in darkness. Forcing a
back window he entered, and, lighting
a lamp discovered what he believed
to be the dead body of Ills sister. He !
ran screaming and hysterical from the
house.
Ills screams were heard by Antone
Satriano. a musician living at 292 C
Vallejo street, and Satriano went in
and .forcing the boy to hold the body
cut down the rope, removed the noose
and placed Miss Keller on the bed.
Paraffine Wax at Florence.
Florence, Colo. —The United OH
Company has just completed the erec
tion and equipment of a large wax
works and lubricating oil department,
which from now on will he operated
in connection with the refinery. Today
the first cake of pure refined paraffine
was molded. It is the first made in
the state and marks the advent of a
new industry for Florence.
This department at present consists
of two buildings, one of which is 240
feet long and 80 feet wide, with a
most commodious storage room in the
basement. In this building the vats j
for boiling the oil are stored. Another
building almost as large contains the
freezers, separators and the hydraulic
presses.
After the crude petroleum is treated
at the refinery and the coal oil and
gasoline removed. It is piped into vats
contained in the first building men
tioned and subjected to a heating and
agitation process which thoroughly
mixes it.
From here it is taken to the freez- j
ers, which solidify it into paraffine. It |
then goes to the separators, which re- j
move the most of the oil from the j
wax. After this occurs it is again sub- !
jectefl to heat and passed through
powerful hydraulic presses, arranged
with numerous compartments contain
ing finely-woven and tough cloth, which
removes every particle or wax trom
the oiL The wax is then passed into
a refining machine and comes from
there perfectly pure and as white as
snow.
Deadly Auto Claims Another.
Denver. —While attempting to dodge
a speeding auto near Fifteenth and Cur
tis streets D. Y. Wheeler, a veteran j
salesman, and known to every druggist '
in the West, was struck by an automo- ;
bile and sustained injuries that proved j
fatal.
Those who occupied the automobile
were Albert Buchholz, 2727 Marion 1
street, Mrs. Martha Jones, 1252 York
street, and her mother, Mrs. D. W.
Jones.
Buchholz became frantic when he!
saw the aged man's injuries. Mrs. 1
Jones and her mother fainted and had
to be given medical assistance.
Wheeler’s skull was fractured. He
was taken to St. Luke’s hospital, where
he died.
For several years Wheeler had an
office at 312 Charles building, repre
senting the Richardson Drug Company.
Buchholz, who was operating the
machine that, killed Wheeler, says he
saw a man dodge a red auto and then
walk in front of his machine. It was j
Impossible for him to slacken speed,
Buchholz said, and claims the accident
was unavoidable.
Wheeler was fifty-eight years of ago.
He had made his home in Denver while
in the West and lived at 347 Ir
vington street. He has two daughters,
Miss Marjorie Wheeler, living at In- j
dianapolis, Indiana, and Mrs. O. F.
Shattuck of Denver. The latter’s hus
band is a brother of Judge Hubert L.
Snattuck.
Missouri Still Hazing.
Rolla, Mo. —As a result of class ri
valry of several weeks’ standing,
twenty sophomores of the State School
of Mines were routed out of bed last
night, and, half-clad, were taken from
their rooms and tied to trees on tho
campus, where they remained until
daylight, shivering in the nipping at
mosphere. After they had been re
leased by other sophomores the entire
sophomore class rallied, captured sev
enty-five freshmen, bound their arms
with ropes and chains, and marched
them around town, accompanied by
the school band. School Director
Young was forced to declare a holiday
today, as the classrooms were vacant
The trouble arose over the refusal
of the freshmen to obey the injunc
tion of the sophomores to wear green
caps with yellow buttons.
Europe Rushes to Buy Wheat.
Chicago.—The break in the price of
wheat brought large European orders
lor immediate shipment. Six hundred
thousand bushels of red winter wheat
was sold here for shipment East.
Chicago bankers regard this move
ment as significant of the powerful aid
which the West Is bringing to the fi
nancial situation. They say that if the
movement of the great staple contin
ues to grow the obligations to this
country created abroad will he so large
that it will be impossible for Euro
pean banks to retain their gold, even
by fixing discount rates at the max
imum.
WILL BE UP
TD CONGRESS
BANK CERTIFICATE SYSTEM MAY
PREVAIL UNTIL THAT AU
GUST BODY ACTS.
BUSINESS MOVES ON
DENVER AND STATE BANKS WILL
PROBABLY HOLD EMBARGO
FOR FEW WEEKS.
Denver. —Just as soon as Congress
convenes steps will be taken to put.
the national banks of the nation in le
gal shape to meet any emergency that
may arise by reason of the shortage of
currency and the great demand for the
same caused by the upheaval in Wall
street. Some such legislation Is asked
by the big houses in New York. Until
Congress has moved in this matter it
is not likely that the New York em
bargo on cash and paper money held
by the national banks will be removed,
and that the temporary plan of pay
ment by certificate of deposit issued
by a clearing house, or, as in Denver,
by clearing house guaranteed cheeks,
will be continued. New York, which
led the way, expected to be able to
resume normal conditions next week,
but this Is not likely now. The strain
was too severe. It will take time to
heal it.
As a precautionary matter the Den
ver banks and state banks will very
likely follow New York, and continue
the present manner of doing business.
It is not at all irksome. Money is al
most as general as it was a week or
two ago. Merchants arc not complain
ing. What little hardship may have to
he borne they are accepting for the
good of tho whole. Workmen who
need cash receive cash. In other cases
the certified checks are passing every
where. There is a minority, very small
in every community, that can see noth
ing but harm in every wind that blows.
This minority would have done, as a
small percentage in New York and
Brooklyn and other cities did, that is to
say, they would .have rushed to the
banks and gotten their money, had not
a temporary check been put upon this
class of depositors. But danger from
this insignificant class Is passed. The
atmosphere is normal.
The united action of the big mining
men and the smelters in Colorado to
keep all the gold possible going to the
mint for coinage and the action of the
local mint in paying out gold coin for
bullion received have had a good ef
fect not only in that state, but all over.
But Congress is expected to go to the
aid of the New York banks and enable
them to resume and when they permit
.the use of the money held by them for
‘the banks throughout the country, then
the country will return to the regular
routine.
As showing the conservatism now
prevalent in New York, it may be well
to point out what was done in the case
of the Denver & Northwestern Railway
Company bonds. This company has an
electric line from Denver to Leyden
and Golden and is the holding company
! for the tramway company. The com
! pany has been for more than a year
j gathering in its bond issues and mort
-1 gages with a view to making one com
! plete new issu% instead of having them
scattered over different periods. Today
$6,000,000 of these were to be refund °d
or exchanged, but although the holders
! of the old bonds had agreed as far as
J could be ascertained beforehand to ac
| cept the new issue in return for a can
! collation of the old ones, still the
houses that were to make the transfer
decided not to do so, just as a
precaution, for fear of causing
the slightest ripple on Wall street,
! and so yesterday an advertisement ap
peared in the Republican containing
notice that the exchange would not he
made at present. The bonds that were
to be taken up have fifteen years to
run. In so far as Denver or the com
pany itself is concerned there Is no
interest attached to tills decision to
wait to make the exchange, it simply
shows that New York is extremely cau
tious about monetary matters. All the
companies connected with the Denver
& Northwestern Company sire in splen
did shape and the bonds are looked
upon as among the best in the country.
Fierce Gale in Galveston.
Galveston, Tex. —A northwest storm
of short duration with heavy rain
passed over this city October 30th.
The wind attained a velocity of sev
enty-two miles an hour. One woman
was killed by being crushed by a fall
ing house. Twenty frame houses were
blown down. It Is estimated that
twenty persons were injured in the
western part of the city, where the
wind was the most severe. Several
business houses were unroofed and the
stocks of goods were slightly damaged
by water. The Mallory line wharf shed
was damaged to the extent of several
thousand dollars. A few cars were
blown from the tracks. The gulf re
mained normal. There was no inter
ruption of traffic.
Change of Hands.
Sioux City, lowa. —Stockholders of
tile Sioux City & Western railroad
elected a board of directors composed
of Burlington officials to succeed the
present board, which is composed of
Great Northern officials. The old Pa
cific Short Line, from Sioux City to
O’Neil, Nebraska, will he under the
control of the Burlington instead of
the Great Northern. By this transfer
the Great Northern surrenders all Its
mileage in Nebraska.
Miners In Butte Accept Reduction.
Butte, Mont. —By an overwhelming
vote Butte Miners’ union accepted tho
reduction of wages from $4 to $3.50
announced by the Amalgamated Cop
per Company last night. The contract
entered into between the company and
the union provided that the scale
should be $3.50 when copper Is below
18 cents and $4 when It is above.
