BY THOUSANDS
People Are Pouring Into Dem
yer For S. S. Convention.

Denver. June 26.-Four special trains
filled with delegates to the tenth trien-
NAL information Sunday school con-
VentiOn arrived over the Burlington
railroad this morning and one each over
the Rock Island and Union Pacific The
low rates in effect have caused an in
hux of thousands Of people to the city
in addition to the two thousand or more
delegates to the convention.
The convention proper will open this
evening with simultaneous meetings in
the Trinity Methodist and Central Pres
byterian churches. A preparatory ser
vice of prayer and praise was held at 3
o'clock this afternoon in the Central
Presbyterian church and at $3.50 o'clock

Jacobs of Chicago, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee was held in the Cen
trail Presbyterian church.
The following official statement has
been issued by the International Sun
day School Lesson committee.
1T appears from petitions received
and from press notices, that there is an
entire misunderstanding concerning the
attitude of the lesson committee toward
the quarterly temperance lesson The
committee desires to say, first, that 1t
had faithfully carried out the tnstruc-
lions of the convention and prepared the
quarterly temperance lesson; second,
that it has never contemplated or dis
cussed al any meeting since its ap-
pointment, any proposition looking to
the discOntinuance of the quarterly tenn
perance lesson or any modification of
the instructions received from the con-
ventiOn and thirdly, that the lesson
committee has no intention OF recon-
mending to the convention any modiff-
cation of the present instructions con-
corning the tenn erance lessons"
The International executive committee
met this forenoon at the Brown Palace
hotel. the vice chairman. w N. Harris

Cuban courts said he. ''They were per-

Wood was behind it all. The order

Wood until May 19, when, at II o'clock

was just too late to permit the supreme
court to issue the order for the deten-
