LARGE POLICE DOCKET
DISPOSED OF QUICKLY
Out of 36 cases called in the corpo-
ration court this morning 25 were tried
and the sum of $152 was assessed in
fines. The majority of the offenders
were charged with assault and battery
and in each instance the defendants
drew a $lO package.
It was a large docket that Judge

Bart DeWitt had to contend with but
the able manner in which the latter
handled all witnesses the time was cut
down from an all day session to a few
hours.

pers of Strawn Brown told the Karnes

Officer Guerrera and the arrest of
Brown followed. Brown stated to the
court that he was so drunk at the time
of his arrest that he did not know what
he was doing. Strawn appealed to the >
court to make the fine of the defendant j
as light as possible by saving that -
Brown previous to this had borne a I
good reputation and that this was his
first offense.
Judge Buckley after warning the
prisoner of the seriousness of the of-1
fense and securing a promise from the I
defendant that he would not repeat it
assessed a fine of $lO. ’ |

FIGHT AGAINST BALLINGER CARRIED FROM
SPOKANE 10 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS
Convention at Denver Opened
Today Promises to Furnish
One More Demonstration of
West's Sympathy With
Roosevelt Policies and Dis-
satisfaction With Attitude of
Secretary of Interior To-
ward Water Power Trust.
By S. M. Evans.
Special Dispatch.
Denver Colo. Aug. 16.—With the
memory of the notable arraignment of
Secretary of the Interior Richard A.
Ballinger and the fight against his over-
turning of the Roosevelt policies of con-
servation made at the National Irriga-
tion congress at Spokane last week
fresh in their minds delegates to the
20th annual session of the Trans-Mia-
sissippi congress met here today in a
convention which promises to furnish
another forceful demonstration that the
west is dissatisfied with the way the
new guardian of the public domain ie
handling things. There is every indica-
tion that Ballinger will again be forc-
ed into the limelight.
The fight here will be more unequal
than was the fight at Spakoue. Al-
thwugh attorneys for the Water Power
trust notably Frank H. Short of Fres-
no Cal. were at Spokane they are here

in more abundant numbers. Denver is
the center of the amalgamated inter-
ests of Colorado and as a municipality
has always been trust bound.
The public domain is the subject an-
nounced as the most important one to
eome before the congress. The recent
sensational revelations of the operations
of the water power trust in Montana
and elsewhere are bound to have an
effect on the deliberations of the con-
gress.
When President Thos. F. Walsh called
the congress to order today there was
already discussion as to what turn the
fight against the reversal of the Roose-
velt policies by Ballinger will take.
Although more widely diversified in
its aims than the National Irrigation
congress the Trans-Mississippi congress
PRETTY THINGS FOR BABY
Here are three new things for the
baby’s use. First there’s a pretty lit-
tle round skull-cap-shaped bonnet made
of natural tuscan braid edged with
loops of ribbon ending in fluffy bows
behind the ears.
And there’s a new style sack in while
challis or cashmere bound around all
edges with inch-wide silk ribbon
feather-stitched on. The sack is cut
in two pieces joined in the center of
the back and segmed under the nrm
kimono fashion.
A n d last there’s a new fangled com-
bination of doll baby and rattle which
will please the youngster every time. It
is made by glueing a small unbreakable
doll s head on a round wooden stick
about five inches long. Below the bead
the stick is padded to formulate a body
and a pretty waist is made for it of rib-
bon and lace. The same ribbon is
wound around the stick tight'.y and
ends in a loop large enough to slip over
baby s wrist.
All these things are home-made and
are very easily fashioned by loving
hands. They are very simple as well
M pretty and make dainty gifts

Mississippi Congress.
will this year devote most of its time to
a discussion of the biggest issues before
the American people.
The mining people are here this year
as they were last demanding relief from
the smelter trust. The revelation that
Amalgamated Copper and the Guggen-
heims are in on power trust deals in
Montana has created an apprehension
among the independent miners that
there is scant hope for them if the
government cannot be relied upon to
put its heel upon what appears to be
the most gigantic trust in the world.
An appeal will probably be made to
President Taft to’take cognizance of
what his predecessor recognized and to
adopt tho most strenuous methods of
Roosevelt in dealing with the big com-
binations of capital.
“The safest way will not do. We
have found that out to our sorrow
since the new administration has beeu
in the saddle” said one delegate this
morning.
Chief Forester Pinchot who gave the
Colorado Legislature some interesting
figures on the water power situation
last spring is to be here and is expected
to make a declaration as belligerent
as that flung at Ballinger at Spokane.
Next in importance in the list of sub-
jects to be discussed here are the prob-
lems of national defense the parcel
post and the merchant marine.
The sessions are being held in the
immense Auditorium built for the dem
ocratic convention last year. The New
Orleans delegation is already here with
a well organized campaign for the next
convention.
