Governor Of ColoradoSays Men With out Ambition Are Worthless. Denver, Colo.. May 29. The idle rich were given a scoring by Governor Henry A. Buchtel in his Memorial Day address to veterans of the Civil War last night. The chief executive of the state agreed with President Roosevelt, whom he quoted to the ef fect that the idle rich should be knocked in the head. These strong words caused the veterans to sit up and take notice. Mr. Buchtel's subject was "The Character of Roosevelt." The church was crowded with veterans. The at tack on the rich made by the gov ernor for the moment made the veter ans turn their thoughts from the day to the conditions of the present time. The reference to "death for the idle rich" was ' made in a story of a wealthy student. His professor asked him what he intended to do when he finished college. The young man re plied: "Do you know, professor, there does not appear to be anything in the world quite worth while." "When President Roosevelt was told this," the governor continued, "he arose, pounded his fist on the table and said: " 'Professor, do you know that fel low ought to be knocked in the head.' "And he ought to have knocked him in the head. Such people, without ambition and without purpose, are valueless to the country, and ought to be knocked in the head." Cotton Worke-s Rejoice.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND AROUND WASHINGTON. D. L REPORTS EXAGGERATED. Bonaparte Tells Cabinet About Row In San Francisco. Washington, May 30. At the cabi net meeting yesterday, Attorney-General Bonaparte laid before the Presi dent and Secretary Root the report of District Attorney Devlin, of San Francisco, upon the alleged assault on Japanese residents of that city. The report, Mr. Bonapart says, shows that the first stories ot the alleged assault were exaggerated, and that the difficulty appeared to be a lack of police protection, owing to a strike. Secretary Root took the report with him, and if any further action is taken it will be by the State Department. Mr. Root received the following tel egram from the governor of Cali fornia in answer to a message of in quiry relative to the attack upon Japanese in San Francisco last Tues day: "Your telegram of May 25, con cerning assault made upon Japanese received. Will call attention of Chief of Police of San Francisco at once to your telegram and request him to use every effort to protect these people. Think the assaults were due largely to uncertain conditions existing in San Francisco by reason of the labor troubles." The State Department has taken no further action in the matter as yet, but undoubtedly will communicate Governor Gillett's telegram to the Japanese embassy, and the belief is epressed that it will sufficiently meet the complaint.

Washington, June 1. Concerning sensational reports about expecta tions of war between Mexico and Guatemala, Ambassador Creel, of Mexico, said today to the Associated Press: "Ihere is nothing pending and no reason for any fear of war between the two countries. The assassination of ex-President Barillas by a Guate malan developed in Mexico a feeling of indigation and a strong protest by public opinion against such a crimi nal action, more so when it was known that General Lima, from Guatemala, was supposed to be impli cated. Mexico asked for the extra dition of General Lima, not as com pulsory under the treaty, but offering Guatemala the privilege that might have been accepted. Guatemala de clined, and this was the end of the conflict. "There remains in Mexico a feel ing of grievance and condemnation in public sentiment, but not a spirit of war. The troops that have been located on the frontier of Mexico and Guatemala are there for the purpose of keeping order and to give protec tion to the people of all nationalities."

HAS TITIAN'S "ST JEROME St. Louis Man Got Priceless Old Painting for Mere Pittance. St. Louis, June 4 Edward Sells, of St. Louis, believes he has identified a painting he purchased a year ago for less than $100 as the famous "St. Jerome" painted by Titian about 1531. ,o trace of the painting has been had since about 1620. Sells purchased the picture from Allison K. Stewart, a St. Louis mining engineer, to whom it was given in 1900 by a padre in the moun tains of Honduras after Stewart had given him a liberal offering of silver. lhe painting itself shows it is verv old. The canvas is hand-made and filled with red clay, after the customs of the Kenaissance period. St. Louis artists say the painting bears several defects peeuliar to Titian's work. They esti mate the value of the painting, if it is the Titian "St. Jerome," to be about $100,000. Socialists Backing Haywood.

DROP EMPLOYES BY THOUSANDS Railroads Will Have Discharged 1 00 000 Men Early In June. Blame Adverse Action of Legislature and Courts Extension Work Is Abandoned Expect Light Summer Travel One Read Alone Reduces Force 50,000. Chicago, May 23. Railroad man agers here estimate that by the end of the first week in June the railroads of the country will have discharged between 60.000 and 100,000 men now employed. Some estimates put the number mucn nigner. mis aoes not take into account the large number of laborers and others dis missed because of abandoned exten sions and other improvements. Or ders were recently issued for the strictest economy and the redaction of force6 to the lowest possible point. The New York Central is to reduce many of its pay-rolls fully one-third. If the order is carried out literally in all departments, it would mean the discharge of 50,000 employes on this system alone. Railway managers say they rather welcome the opportunity to weed out hundreds of incompetent, forced upon them during the rush season, and to whom, it is claimed, many wrecks and destruction of life and property can be traced. Aside from this, the roads expect to save a few millions in wages during the summer, when traf fic is light. The heaviest cuts will be in the operating departments, in the shops and among clerks. Many of the employes will be taken back again when business becomes heavy again, but a strong effort will be made to shut out permanently the incompetents and undesirables. The discharged tracklayers and other9 who were working on extensions and like improvements will not be re-employed until the financial market is more promising and until the new legisla tion has been given a thorough trial by the roads. The application of the 2-cent pas senger rate will be especially felt by Western roads, and reductions in freight rates and the demands of labor unions, which amount to millions, will affect all roads and call for rigid econ omy and a general slowing up until the way seems clear. Many states, also, have practically doubled the taxes imposed upon rail roads, and the general result requires retrenchment in every direction pos sible. FAVORS.LIMITED ARMAMENTS. Japan Will Support America and Britain at The Hague. Victoria, B. C; May 28. Japanese newspapers received by the steamship Empress of India from Yokohama contain an interview with Count Okuma. one of Japan s most promi nent statesmen, regarding The Hague peace conference, in which he says: "If Great Britain introduces an arm ament restriction proposal for debate, Japan will support it, and possibly also the United States. It would be difficult to speculate, though, on the probable attitude of European powers as to the proposal. With regard to the regulations of military and naval battles, rights and duties of neutrals, regulation of wireless telegraphy and contrabrand of war, Japan and Russia had a claim to advance their views, in view of their practical experience. As far as Japan is concerned, the coher ence affords the best opportunity of promoting her position in interna tional politics." Advices were received of large ad ditions to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha fleet. Larger and fasters steamers are to replace some vessels in the Ameri can service. The Japanese govern ment just turned over to the company 11 large prize steamers captured dur ing the war, which will be used as freighters. Strange Accident on Ship. Victoria, B. C, May 23.
