COMMISSIONER THATCHER IS
SHORN OF POWER BY BOARD

ing, ana neither did T. j. O'Donnell. his
ally. but the other four members were
present and the result was that reso-
luton was passed shearing Thatcher OF
all powers and duties and the placing
of Paul Wilson of Pueblo in his place.
Through this action of the board.
Captain Thatcher has been shorn OF
all power and duties. He has not been
famed on any of the committees. the
intention being to give him nothing to
do, so that the board will be able to
refuse to pay him the salary which
goes with the title of commissioner-in-
chief. He will still retain the title,
while Paul Wilson will be known as
commissioner of exhibits"
The intention of the four members of
the board present at the meeting yes
terday is to make 1t so uncomfortable
for Thatcher that he will hand in his
resignation.
In addition to this. the salary of
Thatcher for the month of June.
amounting to $2Os.33 was allowed,
with the proviso that the same be held
in the treasury of the board as an Offset
for the amount OF $2OS. 33 on claim
against Thatcher by the board for dis
allowance of his bills.
To cap the climax. the board dis
charged Cecilia Madigan. the board
stenographer. who is a near relative of
Captain Thatcher.

NEGRO DENOUNCES
THE WHITE RACE

Wilmington, Del. June 2S.-The Rev.
Montrose w. Thornton, colored, pastor
of the First A. NJ. e. Church of this
city, preached sensational sermon to
his congregation tonight. He said, in
part:
THE white man. in the face of his
boasted civilization. stands before
my eyes tonight as the demon of the
and in so far as the negro race is con-
cerned. seems to give no quar-
ter. The white man is a heathen
a fiend monstrosity before God, and
is equal to any act in the category of
crime. would sooner trust myself in
a den of a hyena than in his arms.
With a court law and officers of law in
his hands, the despised negro can eN-
pect no mercy. justice or protection
The negro is unsafe anywhere in this
country. He is the open prey at all
times of barbarians who know no re-
straint and will not be restrained.
There is but one part left for the
prosecuted negro when charged with
crimes and when innocent. Be law
unto Yourselves. You are taught by
this lesson of outrage to save your
selves from torture at the hands of the
blood-seeking public. Save your race
from insult and shame. Be your own
sheriff. court and jury. as was the out
law, Tracy Die in your tracks, per-
hans drinking the blood of your pur-
suers, Booker T. Washington's char
ity. humanity. advice of forgiveness

Denver. June 29.-The Republicans
this morning says: After postponing
the Inevitable for over two weeks.
George w. Thatcher, commissioner-in-
chief of the Worlds Fair Board. called
on Governor Peabody yesterday morn
ing. in answer to the latters' ultimat-
um ordering him to appear at 10
o'clock to make accounting for some of
his alleged sins of omission and COM
mission.
Contrary to the belief in some quar-
ters. Captain Thatcher's bearing was
not meek. When the governor made
formal demand on him for the sum in
question, $3.50, Thatcher refused to pay
1t, and further defied the governor to
depose him or expel him from the
board He was armed with legal opin-
ion to the effect that under the law
which created the board, he could not
be removed by the governor until his
time expires, December 81. 1903. He
seemed to be of the opinion that he
held a better hand than his excellency,
and after making few remarks hav-
Ing no bearing on the case. departed.
Instead of giving up the fight. the
governor consulted a few more people.
and the result was that he issued
call for special meeting of the board
yesterday afternoon at o'clock. Cap

Supreme cour. Announcement.

On July 9Th the Supreme Court will
make announcements of some of the
most important cases pending before
that tribunal. This will be the clos
ing date of the session and the JUS
tices will leave for their vacations.
The court will probably stand ad-
journed not less than two months.
The court now has under consider
alton the appropriation bill case, and
upon its decision depends the question
Of whether the Legislature must be
called in extra session to provide sal
aries and expenses, of state offices.
One of the other very important
cases is that concerning the fire and
police board. which indirectly involves
other public officials holding over in
office under the home-rule amendment
Whether the Inheritance tax law is
valid is another important question
the court is considering. Upon this
depends the right of the state to col
lect large sums, notably more than
100000 from the Stratton estate.
II the Court of Appeals hands down
the written opinion on the question of
whether the city council or the county
canvassing board had the right to
make the official count in the charter
election this case will also be before
the court.

Larger Than Their Parents.

A prominent bicycle manufacturer is
quoted as saying: bicycling Is the
grandest and most healthful d sports
1t makes each successive generation
healthier and stronger and longer
lived. In young women's seminary
recently the teacher asked all the girls
in the class who were taller than their
mothers. to stand up. and all the girls
stood up. Next she asked for all those
who were taller than their fathers to
stand up. and half the class got on its
feet. Finally, she asked for all those
who rode bicycles to get up, and again
the whole class arose. Then she told
them that they were bigger and
stronger than their parents because
they got plenty of outdoor exercise,
and that their children would be bigger
and stronger than they"

Denver, June 29.-F. X. Schoonmak-
er arrived in Denver yesterday as the
representative of the Whitney Electri-
cal Development Company, commits
stoned to make experiments from the
top of Pixies peak with view to de-
veloping electricity for commercial
purposes from the upper stratas of the
atmosphere by what is known as the
Whitney electric aerial ladder. Mr..
Schoonmaker will stop at the Brown.
His presence in the state promises to
attract much attention on account OF
the extraordinary mission assigned
him. The proposed tests are scientific
to the highest degree. The promoters
believe that If they are successful they
will revolutioniZe the entire electrical
business.
The proposed demonstration Is called
for by the governments of Germany
and France. the request from the lat
ter being practically a request from the
French Academy of Sciences.
Briefly explained. the promoters of
the enterprise believe that at dis
tance above the earth which can be at
tained there is vast quantity OF cleo
tricity. II 1t is possible to reach this
the power that could be furnished for
commercial purposes would be prac-
tically unlimited and could be fur
nished at very slight cost.
To penetrate this zone. or strata OF
electricity. a high power cannon will be
used. This will be taken to the highest
point attainable-probably to the top of
Pixies peak II arrangements can be
made with the cog road to provide
transportation.

WOULD TAP ELECTRICAL ETHER
FROM SUMMIT OF PIXIES PEAK

From these the shot will be fired.
the nroiectile will be in the nature oi
a magnet to which will be attached the
wire through which it is proposed TO
hiring the electricity to the earth.
The inventor has obtained patents IN
all the countries of the world. lie is
also said to have secured the co-opera-
tion of the leading scientific bodies,
having explained his plan to them a'
length. -.
The Whitney electricians claim 10
have demonstrated that If magnet Is
projected far enough from the eartn II
ceases to have any weight. Deihs
pulled away from the earth by a great
central mass of electricity.
The purpose of the Whitney aerial
ladder is to~project magnetized op-
ject up into space until 1t reaches the
pull of the force of center OF etherea,
space. II the object can be projected
to that point it would continue 10 go
toward the cented of the ethereal mass
If attached to it there were a wire
capable of conducting electricity, ana
this wire should reach to the earth. II
would conduct down enough electricity
to magnetic larger wire and iree i.
from the pull of the earth's force Oh
center and lift 1t into space. thus iur-
nishing a conductor of greater capacl-
ty. Upon the supposition that this can
be done it is easily seen how the Whit-
ney ladder would enable man to put an
electrical conduit out into the great
mass of ether. or electricity. and obtain
from it as large supply as he desired
instead of getting it by the modern
churning process within the atmos-
phere.

Kansas Extra Session Adiourns.

Topeka. Kan. June 2S.-The extra
session of the Kansas Legislature end
ed Friday. Over fifty bills were passed.
only two of which were of general
nature. Most of them gave Kansas
counties the right to restore bridges
that had been washed away by the
flood. County commissioners are auth
orized to aid food sufferers from the
county fund to any extent that seems
best to them. Toward the last, an ef-
fort was made to pass bill appropr1at-
ing money for the relief OF the suffer-
ers. but it was defeated.
Governor Bailey. in statement TO-
dav. explained his attitude toward a re-
lief appropriation, in the course oil
which he said:
II feel that the criticism OF my at
titude in this manner is unjust. There
is very little il any destitution in the
food district Whatever destitution
there is has been or will be relieved by
the lotsl authorities. the local chari-
ties and the assistance which comes
freely from the outside. The need is
great through the Kaw valley. but the
cases of destitution are few. The Leg
islaturea has enacted nearly fifty laws
to enable cities and towns to take care
of the situation and they are going to
do it."
