Glenwood Springs, Colo. Sept g.
The silver Republicans OF The state of
Colorado, metshert today and nominated
a candidate for supreme Judge Al
though it had been predicted that a
contest would occur. over the nomlna-
'tion-and the question of fusion with
the administration wing of the party
which held its convention in Denver
today. the meeting was very harmoni-
Gus throughout and Justice Charles d
Hayt was renominated without oppo-
,sition- This was largely due, it is be-
lieved, TO the presence of Senator
Henry M. Teller, WhoSeT voice was law
to most of the delegates present. The
Platform adopted was a strong re
elimination of the principles Of the sill
Ter Republican party. Senator Teller
and Congressman Shafroth both ad-
dressed the convention, both taking ene
position that silver could not look for
recognition from the Republican party
as at present constituted.
They declared against any form of
fusion with the administration Repub-
hcans- Judge Hayt acknowledged his
nomination in q carefully prepared
speech in which he declared himself d
follower of Teller and bryan.

When the convention reassembled
this afternoon the temporary organiZa-
ton was made permanent
Senator Henry NJ. Teller took the
platform and made a very vigorous
speech. He reiterated his wen known
position on the silver question and said
the silver Republicans could not con-
slider any proposition for fusion with
the administration wing of the party
which was in session at Denver.
The platform adopted is a strong en-
dorsement of Senator Teller and Con
gresham Shafroth and declares for the
free coinage of silver without regard to
the action Of any other nation.
When the nomination of a candidate
for supreme judge was declared in or
der 'uhe Name Of present Chief Justice
Charles .. Hayt was the only one sub
united TO the convention. lie was
nominated by acclamation. Although
he had a few minutes -yefoue been
named as the choice of the admindstra-
ton Republicans in Denver, Judge
Hayt. when called before the conven-
ton. declared his adherence to the
principles laid down by the Silver Re
publicaug. He referred to the bolt of
Senator Teller and his colleagues at
St. Louis. which he endorsed. He said
ne voted for Bryan at the last election
and would do the same again If called
upon to vote today. He made no ref

silver had been restored to its old place

an party must not be allowed to die.
It is not known whether Judge Aayt
will accept the nomination OF the Dem

belief that he will.

ring with a cameo in ii in Mrs Luet-
gert's hand She was asked if Mrs
Luetgert did not wear a large ring with
a chain and heart attached. but she
said she had never seen 1t.
Mrs. SOPHIE Traby identified the
rings which she said, Mrs. Luetgert
had worn for years From her own
finger she took a small guard ring
somewhat resembling that found in the
vat and said she had bought it of
jewelor on Larabee stUUt near North
avenue on the advice Of Mrs, Luetgert.
Attorney Vincent objected 10 this tes-
fiTnony and it was sustained.
Mrs. Traby said she had a conversa-
ton with Luetgert May g. regarding
the disappearance of his wife. He told
her he had paid $40 TO two private de-
teetiyes and had told them there was
more money for them If they needed
it, Luetgert said his wife did not have
much love for her children He also
said her brother, Bickneee, was angry
because the disappearance was not re
