PARK EXTENSION BILL
CARRYING ADDITIONAL
$300,000 NOW READY
Senator Beidleman Will Present
Measure in Senate at Monday
Evening's Session
TO COMPLETE PURCHASES
Governor Brumbaugh Will Go
Over District in Company
With Commission
The bill to appropriate s3oo,Out) to
complete the purchase of properties in
lho Capitol Hark extension has been
drafted at the Capitol and will be in
troduced into the Senate on Monday
night hy Senator Kdwurd E. Btldlt
man, of l his city. The amount carried
by the bill has been carefully worked
out arid will lie required to take care
of everything desired. The original
appropriation of $2,000,000 it has been
found will not reach by the time the
end of the appropriation period ar
rives and the additional sum will en
able the commission to acquire the
several churches, industrial plants
and other properties in the district.
The members of the commission dis
cussed the wviV accomplished with
Governor Tener just before he retired
and he approved of what had been
done and of what was deemed neces
sary. The matter has also been taken
tip with Governor Brumbaugh, who is
much interested in the extension as
is every man who lias given attention
to the propostion. The new governor
will take a walk around the district
with the commission in'a short time,
although ho has already noted the
progress made and is familiar with
the details of what has been done.
Thus far the commission has bought
430 of the 537 properties in the dis
trict and some of those not bought are
optioned or in process of negotiation.
Certain of these will be taken over
this year under the original appro
priation as it becomes available.
The fact that the commission has
made such splendid progress without
having a case go to court and in a
manner so open and above board that
everyone knows 'what has been done
hits not been lost on the legislators..
Just how Governor Tenor regarded
the project is illustrated by this ref
erence in his fureweil message: "The
Capitol Park Commission, created by
'he act of Jun« 15. 1911, has conducted
its affairs in a thorough businesslike
way and its members are entitled to
the highest praise. • • • The
transaction of the rapidly increasing
business of the various departments
of the State government makes neces
sary the acquisition of this area."
The commissioners are all men well
known to everyone here and to many
living elsewhere, being Spencer C.
Gilbert Samuel Kunkel and Samuel C.
Todd.

! son. executive board member for Colo
rado of the United Mine Workers of
America, who yesterday denounced
conditions in the Colorado mining
camps in his brief to the Federal In

sharply arraigned John D. Rocke

inform himself as to conditions there,
continued his testimony.
"There is no social life in the
camps." Mr. Lawson said. "The com
panies own all the houses, ground,

plete despotism exists in the mining

Mr. Lawson told of accidents in the

pany coroner conducts the Inquest over
the body. The coroners have a habit
of giving a verdict of suicide or death
due to carelessness. One coroner
wrote, in a certain case, that the vic

IKS GET
WORTH OF DIAMONDS
Three Clerks Held Up With Re
volvers, Bound and Gagged
by Robbers
By Associated Press
■New York. Jan. 30.—Between $40.-
000 and $50,000 worth of diamonds
I were stolen to-day from the pawn
J shqp of Adolph Stern on the upper
I East Side by three men who drove up
|to the store in an automobile, held
■up the three 'clerks with revolvers,
j bound and gagged them, threw the
| jewels into three suit cases and es
icaped in the waiting car.
The tirst of the three men entered
the store ahead of his companions and
engaged one of the clerks in conver
sation. The other two highwaymen
came in together and snapped the
spring lock on the door behing them.
As if by signal, all three highwaymen
drew their revolvers and covered the
clerks with them. The clerks were
marched to the rear of the store,
bound and gagged with cord and
handkerchiefs, then thrown to the
floor and tied together, in addition to
the jewels, the highwaymen took $l7O
in cash but overlooked other cash
in the safe.
I About a quarter of an hour elapsed
before one of the clerks freed him
self and released the others and gave
the alarm.
The proprietor of the place, after
a rough inventory estimated his loss
at $15,000. The estimate made of the
loss covered the amounts for which
the jewels were pawned, the pro
prietor said, and did not cover the
full value of the gems. This, he
thought, was much higher.

Sweeping: claims of military success

the Austrian War Office. It is asserted :
that in Poland, on the Warsaw front,
in Oalicia, ltukowina and Northern
Hungary *he Austro-German allies
are battering down the Russian resist
ance.
The rear guard communications of
the Russians in tritlicia are threatened,
the report says by the Austrians. while
the Russian forces which invaded
liukowina and Northern Hungary have
been unsuccessful, and in Poland the
trenches of the Austro-German armies
are approaching the Warsaw forts. .No
mention is made of East Prussia,
which according to Petrograd reports,
now is menaced *oy a new offensive
movement on the part of the Russian
army of invasion. Reports from the
Russian war offce recently have in
dicated that the Austrians have gain
ed some advantage in the fighting in
the Carpathians but neither the Pet
rograd nor Merlin statements has
shown important changes on the War
saw front.
Turkish Force Defeated
Dispatches from London and Paris
state that the Russians have indict
ed a defeat on the Turkish army which
invaded Persia, and have reoeeupied
Tabriz. An official communication
from the commander of the Russian
army of the Caucasus says that the
Turks were defeated and put to flight
in an engagement near Tabriz, but
makes no mention of the reoccupation
ot that city by the Russians.
Berlin advices tell of a raid on Os
tend and Zeehrugge in Belgium, by
British aeroplanes. It is said that
three of these aeroplanes failed to re
turn, having been surrounded by Ger
man aircraft and driven out to sea.
