GOOD ROADERS MEET.
Delegates From Thirty States
Convene in Chicago.

Chicago. Nov. 1s.-The convention of
the Interstate Good Roads association
opened today in Central Music hall, with
delegates from over 30 states present
The purpose of the meeting is to effect
a national organization and to bring
influence to bear upon congress to Sc
cure an appropriation for the improve
ment of highways commensurate with
the needs of the country. Committees
will be appointed to work with the SO
state legislatures, and also to carry the
matter direct to congress.
The convention was opened by a short
speech by W. H. Moore. president of the
association, introducing the temporary
chairman. After addresses of welcome
and the responses, Martin Dodge, d.
rector of the office Of road inquiry, de-
partment Of agriculture, delivered a

FOOTBALL AT DENVER.
D. A. C. and D. W. C. Play Tie Game
Then Mob the Referee.

Denver, Nov. 19.-There was more in
terest manifested and a larger crowd at
the football game played here Saturday
afternoon between the D. A G. and the
D. w. G. than at any game of the sea-
son. There has long been a bitter RI
valry between the two teams Neither
money nor time has been spared in any
athletic contest between them. The
great interest has always centered in
the football games. Last year the Wheel
club spent considerable money on their
team, bringing a coach from Washburn
college, but they failed. The score last
year was 80 to in favor of the D. A.
S. Saturday, after two 35-minute halves
had been played the score stood: D. A.
c. u. and D. w. Q. II.
Both teams played their best and both
teams proved to be in good condition.
The D. A. C..'s unquestionably outplay-
ed the D. w. C.'s in the first half and
the D. W. C.'s outplayed the D. A. c.
in the second half W. c. Sterne was
very fair in his decisions as umpire The
referee was DR.. F. P. Tuxburv. He
made anything but a good official A
large part of the time he acted as
though he was out of his head. After
the game was over he was surrounded
by q bowling mob of d. A C-sympathiz-
ers- Some one in the crowd struck him,
but it was not D A. G. man. The club
members merely tried to argue with him
and maintained themselves as gentle
men.

George Henry, the father of Ira L.
Henry, who is in the county jail at
Albuquerque, n. NJ, charged with in

Daily Citizen Of Saturday relates the
following incident of Mr.. Henry's visit
in Albuquerque:
This morning, before the train upon
which he was to take passage arrived,
the father entered the barber shop to
get shaved, and while the barber was
performing his work reference was made
to the Henry case The words reached
the ears of the father, and the latter
burst into tears. sobbing as if his heart

were considered an exemplary couple,

HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY.
To Push Ratification in Sem ate to Aid
Isthmian Canal

New York. Nov. 19.-Plans are being
made by the administration, according
to a Washington dispatch to the Herald,
to press with vigor for the ratification
by the senate of the -Pauncefote
treaty in its original form as the first
step towards constructing an isthnian
canal.
This action is likely to precipitate one
of the memorable contests of the coming
session of congress- Opposition to the
treaty is based on the fact that it pro
vides that no Notifications shall be
erected on the canal The Hepburn bill,
which has passed the house, provides for
the construction and protection by the
secretary Of war of q Nicaraguan canal
In addition Senator Davis has brought
before the senate from the committee on
foreign relations an amendment that
nothing in the treaty shall restrict meas
ures which the United States may find
necessary for the defense of the United
States.
The Davis amendment was copied from
the tenth clause of the Constantinople
treaty. securing the neutrality OF the
Suez canal
John A. Kasson of Iowa, special COM
missioner and formerly minister of the
United States to Germany and Austria,
supports the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
ct is manifestly absurd to attempt to
make a private national snap OF the
exclusive control and use of great IN
teroceanic waterway" he said in an in
terview. ITO establish such conditions
by law would be a. challenge to all ma
lions to combine against US and to COM
pei US to do what we ought to do in the
spirit of modern civilization, and in re-
ciprocity for the privileges we enjoy in
the eastern world
NO predictions can be made as to the
vote on the treaty
