TO confer with President Cit1s-
land upon the subject OF the

ference was held on Monday.
It was learned from Mr.. Wilkin-
son that he had very fully dis
cussed the matter with The pres.
ident, going into all the details
of the case, and that the pres
ident had given him q courte-
Gus and kindly hearing. Upon
the result of the conference,
however, Mr.. Wilkinson was
noncommi;al. except to say
that his mission had proved
satisfactory, and that tie pres
id-nt had expressed himself
as being DESTROYS of seeing the
claims paid, regarding them-as
a binding obligation upon the
government.
it.was inferred by your cor
respondent, from the limited
information impaired by ar:
Wilkinson. that the president
saw no way now Of intervening
in behalf of the sugar pro-
ducsrs, and that it was deemed
essential, in. view OF the adverse
decision of commissioners, 10
submit the matter to the courts
tor judicial determination. To
this end Air. N-ilkinsaa today
called apon Attorney General
Harmon and held q long con
ference with him, presumably
upon the subject of eXpediting
the case Of the bounty olaia:-
ants if it WAS decided TO go into
the courts. 1t Is understood
that Attorney General Harmon
promised to hasten matters if
such Il course were taken and
expressed The belief that Il &c
cision might be reached by tie
beginning Of The next year. Mr.:

I realize, too, how perilous it is in these
days to be guilty of having convictions.
The fact that I have proclaimed mine
on question of supreme Importance
within the scope of my unavoidable Of
fetal cognizance has provoked two
kinds of interesting comment: First,
that am very young in politics and have
not yet learned the impolicy of candor;
and secondly, that I have no business to
have any convictions of my own any,
now, and am to be disciplined if I do
not surrender them. Whereto I wish to
reply only this: I shall never be old
enough to pursue in politics a course of
shifting and diplomatic Discrimination,
and I never was young enough to be
frightened into avowing what I did not

DENVER, Aug. 20.-At 8 a. M. the
fire engines are still pouring water on
the ruins of the Gumry hotel, which
was wrecked by an explosion soon after
midnight. Buried in the ruins are
many guests and employees of the hotel,
whose bodies must have been wholly OF
partly cremated. It is impossible as
vet to give a list of the dead, or even to
approximate the number. Out of 40 or
more people who were certainly in the
building, a score got out safely, three
were rescued with more or less serious
injuries, and the others are unques.

beneath the understandable Mass
of bricks and shattered beams and
twisted iron at the rear of the ruined
building. The iremen are laboring in
the work of excavation, but the prog

the heap of destruction a be fully
told.
The death list will include the owner
of the hotel, Peter Gumry, the man
ager, Robert G. Greiner and his wife.
who acted as day clerk. They are
known to have been in the rear Of the
building and could not possibly have
escaped.

the explosion, the fremen were ap-
