DENVER, Colo.. Aug. IT. Coupled with
the possibility of renewed hostilities be

the Transmississippi Commercial congress
in session here, promises to become tha
battlefield of a fight for batter rats regu.
lattons for tha west;,'.
Assertion that the fight on railroad rates
may break at any time and become the
predominant factor In the deliberations of
the congress, was made today by Colonel
Ike Pryor of San Antonio, Tex., chairman
of the executive committee. He declared
Oalveston and Denver business men would
bring on a resolution demanding an equita
ble revision of tall and ocean rates be
tween New lork and Denver.
According to Colonel Pr.vor's statement,
the ocean rate between New Tork and
Galveston has been low enough to provide
Denver shippers an Incentive to bring their
goods to the Texas port for shipment over
local lines to Denver, triun chtaining a re
duced rate. It is now charged that the
railways have increased the local rail rate
between Galveston and Denver to a point
where It ta a matter of cholae whether
goods are brought via ocean or entirely
by rail.
Thomas F. Walsh and John Barrett, di
rector of the Bureau of American Re

believed that the answer to crowded tene

Mr. Barrett spoke of improvements In

countries. Hs said:

Hal In Iatln-America give significant em

; closer trade relations and of Improving the
j facilities for the exchange of commerce be
' tween the United States and her sister

'The legitimate and successful exploita-

'First, tariff regulations which permit of

Life Convicts
Better Out Than
In, Says Expert
Prison Reform Committee Says Few
Lifers Ever Engage in Crime
After Pardon.
SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 17.-'If a life
prisoner has worn tha badge of bondage
long enough to satisfy the reasonable de
mands of Justice and to exhaust the deter
rent effects of punishment, and If he la
safe to be at large, he can be put to bet
ter usa In the world than to be kept within
grim walls until the undertaker Is called
to rattle his bonea over the stones," said
Thomas Dudley Wells of Hartford, Conn..
chairman of the committee on parole of
life prisoners, th a report to the conven
tion of the American Prison association
today.
'The wisdom of extending the parole
system to life twnTlcta who have beer
convicted of no pnvlous crime Involving
moral turpitude and whose record behind
locks and bars has been clean and njt
tainted Is predicated on the fact that a
man who is responsive to decent Impulses
Is worth more to the state and to hlmitelf
out of prison than tn prison," continued
Mr. Welis' report.
Mr. Wells declared that of the life pris
oners who are released by pardon or pa
role few re-engage in crime. "Criminal

than by design, they are a smaller sou'ul
menace than the professional offenders
who regard the world as a pocket to he

Deaf Mutes to Run

They Will Be Employed to Operate!
Puncturing and Tabulating
Dericei.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. Secretary Ke
gel, wbo haa returned to Washington, baa
resumed work In connection with the prep
arations for the next cenens, with a view
of getting it tn auch shape that he can re
turn to his summer home In Massachusetts
next week. A considerable saving will be
made, he haa found, In the cost of the
next census as compared with the original
estimates.
Believing that deaf mutes would make
good operators for the puncturing and tab
ulating machines to be used in making up
the returna of the next census, Secretary
Nagel of the Deaprtment of Commerce and
Labor Is Inclined to appoint them to such
positions if capable ones apply for the
placea. This work requires great care In
Its performance, for the reason that there
Is no way to obtain a check on the result,
and the secretary can aee no reason why
the deaf and dumb should not be especially
efficient.
A large number of punoturjng and tabu
lating machines will be used when the
census statistics come In.

Started Like Ringworm on Hand--Hand
Swelled and Then Humor
Spread to Arms, Legs and Face
- It was Something Terrible.
PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED:
CUTICURA CURED HIM
"I have used tha Cutiourg Remadiea
for a vary bad case of stctn with com
plete auocaaa. About fifteen or eighteen
yeara ago the disease developed in tha
shape of a largo plnhead on top of rnr
band. IS bantoa and itched so much
thai I was compelled to show it to a doc
tor. Ha pmnoitnoaa It ringworm, and
made very right of it. He gave ma a
wash and told ma to apply it before go
ing to bed and all woold be over in the
morning. But the next morning m
hand was all swollen up and I pouIMoed
It. When the doctor came to hi office 1
showed him the hand and to my sur
prise he told ma that be had never ex
perienced such a case in his practice and
aid it was well 1 poulticed it. After
trying his different remedies the disease
increased and went up my arms and
finally to ray thighs and legs generally
and finally on my face. The burning
was something terrible. After I had
tried this doctor, as I thought, long
enough, I went to another doctor who
had tha reputation of being tha best in
town. He told me it was a bad case of
cseraa and that tt would take quite a
while to cure it. His medicine checked
tha advanoa of the disease but no fur
ther. ' I Anally concluded to try the Cuti
cura Remedies. I bought a cake of
Cutieura Seep, a bog of Cuticura Oint
oaent and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
gnd found relief in tha first trial. I con
tinued until I was completely free from
the disease and I have not been troubled
with another attack a'noe. I still use
the Cuticura Ointment in my family as
it is one of the best remedies to heal a
ore or other injury rapidly. I can
freely and truthfully say that the Cuti
cura Remedies are the beet so far aa my
experience went with them and I am
till recommending them, feeling sure I
am not making a mistake. C. Purk
