The Gumry Hotel. Denver, Colo,

ture, went down with crash. The
hotel was crowded with guests. and
many of them must have been killed
as well as the entire force of hotel en-
ployes who were sleeping in the por-
ton of the building which fell. The

from debris which had composed the
upper floors. The ruins then began

are known to have been in the build

carried away a large portion of the
rear of the building adjoining the
hotel. One wall crushed stable and
a small frame house, but no one was
injured. A piece of the cornice of the

A Scheme for Hawaii to Join Ia.

Capt. Judson n. Cross, a prominent
attorney of Minneapolis, has written
to President Dole, at Honolulu. a let
ter containing novel suggestion as to
how Hawaii might annex herself to
the United States without presidential
Intervention. His proposition is that
Hawaii elect delegates to the American
congress and demand that they be
seated on the same basis as the terri
torial delegates. Congress, Capt. Cross
says, would seat them and that would
settle the matter. We maintains that
there are historical presidents and
logical reasons for such a course of
procedure.
