on the property of the Michigan Lake
Superior Power company of Sault Ste.

81, 4o0, 900, Judge VANITY in the United
States district court appointed a receiv-
er for the corporation in the person OF
Benjamin Franklin Frankenthal, jr., OF
Easton. Pa. The application for re-
ceiver was based on the clause in the
mortgage to the effect that if at any
time the interest on the bonds should
remain unpaid for thirty days the
courts might be asked to name a person
TO take charge OF the estate and effects
of the company
The mortgage of 80, 400, 900 held by the
Central Trust company is subject to a
first mortgage for $3.000,0OO. In all
probability as soon as the default is in
the interest of the larger mortgage ma
lures, it's holders will ask that a re-
ceiver be also appointed and Mr.. Fran
enthal undoubtedly named.
Mr.. Frankenthal has already been ap-
pointed receiver for several other Of the
500 companies.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Frankenthal, or his
agents are now on the ground ready to
assume charge Of the affairs at the Soo''
said Judge VANITY this morning. I'm
til he or his representatives arrived
there was no one at the 500 to care for
the effects of the corporation. The Of
ficers in charge there were not in the
pay of the company and qhad but little
interest in the concern. AS 1t was inn
perative that man Of authority be
named at once to assume control of the
plant, appointed Mr.. Frankenthal re-
ceiver without delay"

UNANIMOUS FOR ROOSEVELT
HEARTILY ENDORSED BIZ COLO
RADo REPUBLICANS.
In state Convention They Approve His
Administration and Pledge Their
snpport In 1904 Former Senator VOL
oott wins Decisive victory Before
the state Central COMMITTEES.

Denver. Col. Sept. 20. Former U. s..
Senator Edward O. Wolcott won a de-
c;siye victory to-day in the contest be-
fcre the republican state central COM
mittee over the rival factions in this
city and afterwards in the state con-
vention. The committee, by vote of n
to is, placed the Wolcott delegates on
the temporary roll call Of the convention
and the convention BY q unanimous
vote made rho temporary roll call per-
Elnanent. No opportunity was given the
anti wolcott delegation, headed by Da-
vid Fl. Moffet, to make contest before
the convention.
Mr. WoIcott was chosen temporary
chairman without opposition and in a
carefully prepared speech he criticized
his opponents on the party and pleaded
for harmony.
Mr.. Wolcott said there was no room
for wheels within wheels in the repub-
lican party and no person was so near
the president of the United States that
the sunshine of patronage should filter
only through him.
There was no argument at all before
the people regarding the election Of any
man to the United States senate or
keeping him out, he declared. Colorado
in every way was for President Roose-
welt. The republican party of the state,
he said, would never surrender its cam
paign to the corporations.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Colorado republicanisnl stands for
nrogressiveness We believe in leaders
who do things and who keep the wheels
of industry moving, rather than clog
ged with doubts, fears and predictions
of revolutions of business One fearless
leader is Theodore Roosevelt. Colorado
republicans In state convention hereby
tender him a unanimous nomination for
president of the United States in 1904
and also pledge the electoral vote Of
Colorado for the republican ticket,
Only one office, that Of justice Of the
supreme court. Is to be filled this year
and for this Chief Justice John Camp
bell was renominated by acclamation.
The convention adjourned after adopt
ing a platform which in part follows
We cannot meet without sending our
greeting to Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent OF the United States. and we APP
prove with pride his splendid adminis-
ttration, his high patriotic purposes and
renew here our devotion to the pri1ci-
pies which he represents and which he
has SO Datriotically exempIified In the
splendid administration which he has
given to the whole country, and we par
ticulaTly approve and commend his re-
soect and devotion to law and order,
the effort he has made to bring ali per-
sons, rich and poor alike, in obedience to
1t and within its protection and power. !.

A new feature of the quarrel among
the members of the Ladies' auxiliary OF
the Spanish War Veterans occurred
early yesterday afternoon, when in1unc-
ton papers were served on the balance
Of the officers of the order who had not
had them served on them before they
came here. The papers are returnable
to the United States court and were
served by United States Deputy Mar
shall Parmelee. The injunction gives
Mrs. Ball the right to attend all the
meetings until such time as the court
shall hear the case and decide either in
her favor or against her. AS it is likely
that the case cannot be heard for sew
eral days at the earliest, and as to-day
is the last day of the convention, her
purpose is accomplished just as though
she already had decision in her fa-
vor.
Last evenings meeting was lengthy
one, as there was a discussion as to
what had become of some of the funds.
1t is claimed that, in the opinion OF
some of the members, a small amount
had been spent for things which, in
their opinion, were not justified. It
was stated that at last nights meeting
the entire accounts were gone over and
discussed. It is presumed that this
matter was finally amicably settled. as
nothing more was said about it last
evening.
1t was stated after the meeting that,
with this exception, nothing but routine
business was transacted. Al messagr
Of sympathy was sent to Mrs. Jefferson
Davis
It is expected that to-day's session
will be the liveliest one of the conven-
tion, as the election Of officers Will take
place. 1t is said that the session may
last all day
1t was also stated that one of the Off
GERS asked to have a policeman stations
ed at the door of the convention room
to prevent trouble. The various MEM
bers are telling such conflicting stories
that it would take long time to get ait
the exact facts in the case, but there Is
certainly a lot Of bitter feeling.
! One lady stated last evening that on
account OF the press accounts 81 lhe

coming from the meeting to her 3 - -
She was very much worked up over the
matter.

Plattsburg. N. Il, Sept %, Mrs.
Estella Van Wormer, stepnother Of the
three brothers who are to die next
Thursday morning in the electric chair
at Dannemora cor the murder Of their
uncle, Peter A. Hallenback. was told
upon her arrival at Dannemora this
afternoon that her stepsons had re-
cues.ed that she should not be allowed
to visit them or even so much as to see
them IN their cells in the death house.
1t was not because they did not wish
to see the woman who has been the
only mother they have ever known and
who has stood by them. for ii required
all the courage they can muster to take
the stand they took after a long talk
With Warden Deyo and Rev Father
Belanger, their spiritual adviser, but
solely because they We're afraid that the
ordeal of the farewell would completely
unnerye them.
The thought upermost in the minds Of
Willis, Burton and Frederick Van Wor-
mer is that they must not weaken or
even appear to weaken. Realizing fully
that they must die within. thirty-six
hours, they intend to meet their fate
with tortitude. They appear to regard
any evidence of fear as even more dis
graceful than death in the electric
chair.
Mrs. Van Wormer was on the verge Of
nervous nrostration when she reached
Plattsburgh to-day after her attempt
to plead with Governor Odell yesterday
at Albany. She was accompanied by
three relatives and after lunch the
party left for Dannemora.
Mrs. Van Wormer said to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent: II think
Governor OdelPs action in refusing to
see me yesterday was fleartless I am
poor and unable to pay the cost of re-
moving the bodies of my sons from
Dannemora to Kinderhook but if I
could only get their bodies back to

that some way can be found to bury
my boys somewhere near my home in

states and Canada.

Meriden, Sept. ga demand for a
nine-hou day with ten hours pay was
presented to-day at all the factories of
the International Silver company in
this city, wallingford and elsewhere,
and it is understood that a similar de-
mand has been made or will be made
on every silver shop in the United
States and Canada. In addition to the
nine-hour demand an allowance of
slime and half" for overtime work is
asked for.
The demand reached the factory Off
cials in the form of a blank circular
agreement sent out from the headquar-
ters Of the Metal Workers Internation-
al Association, and accompanying a let
ter from the local unions. In the agree
ment spaces are left for the signatures
of factory officials and committees of
the men. 1t proposes that the new
schedule provided for shall go into eff
feet on January 1, 1904. and asks that
an answer to the demands be returned
before October 5.
The headquarters of the International
Silver company are located here, but
none of the officials was willing to talk
tonight about the demand or to give
an intimation of the company's prob
able action 1t is said that there was a
conference during the day at which a
committee of workmen met President
Samuel Dodd and John NJ. Harmon.
general superintendent of the Interna-

mand was discussed, but neither Off
cials nor men would say anything about
the matter afterward.
Charles Donahue, of Derby, president
of the State Federation. of Labor, was
in town during the day and it was re-
ported that his visit had to do with the
silver mems demands. Mr.. Donahue
was non-committal, however, and mere
1y said that his business was prepara-
tory to the coming meeting of the State
Federation of Labor in another city. In
this city the International Silver COM
pany has between 1000 and 5000 en-
ployes, and large numbers are employ
ed in other towns Of the state.
AS q basis for the demands, members
of the local union say that during the
summer months the company allowed
them half holiday on Saturdays with
pay for sixty hours every week, and
that this voluntary concession indicates
that the company can afford to grant
the demand for nine-hour day.
The list of factories of the company
includes the following: Barbour Silver
company, Meriden Britannia company,
Merfden Silver company, Rogers, Smith
& Co, Wilcox Silver Plate company,
Meriden Cut Glass company and Will
