WOULD UNSEAT
MORMON SENATOR

Denver, Nov. 7.-Dr. NJ. NJ. Paden,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
of Salt Lake City. was in Denver for
short time Thursday on his way to
Washington, where 1t is understood he
goes as a representative of the Minis
terial Alliance of Salt Lake. to lead
the fight against Reed Smoot. the
Mormon senator from Utah.
The Ministerial Alliance OF Salt Lake
is one of the strongest organizations oi
it's kind In the country, and It's avowed
purpose IL to combat the Mormon re-
ligion and 1t influence in both religious
and political affairs Its first object at
the present time is to have Reed Smoot
ousted from the Senate. to which he
was elected last fall. 1t had been the
intention to keep him IL possible from
taking his seat, but the extra session
placed Mr. Smoot In 1t and 1t now rests
with the Senate whether he shall be
ousted or not.
DR.. Paden, 1t is understood. goes to
! Washington to announce the views oil
the majority OF the -Mormons OF
Utah regarding Smoot before the pro-
per persons, and also to give into the
hands a mass of Information and evil
dence by which the alliance hopes to
prove that Smoot is ineligible to his
seat, not because of polygamy. because
there is no weighty proof that he is
polygamist but that he is not citizen
of the United States, on the ground
that he has sworn allegiance to the
authorities of the Mormon Church as
the heads OF spiritual and a temporal
power.
His first duty they say is to be the
church, and they asserts that he would
IL the occasion arose count his allegl-
ance to the government Of the United
States as nothing If question arose
where he would have to make choice
between his church or the government.
This is the chief reason they have for
his deposition as a United States sena-
tor. The alliance has prepared large
amount of literature on the subject
which they have spread broadcast over
the country and which has Attracted
much interest in the East, where the
opposition to the Mormon Church Is
most strong.

Fred NJ. Moran. superintendent OF the
Ohio Oil Company, which Is owned
by the Standard. was at the Albany
hotel yesterday and left last night for
Florence Colorado. to inspect some oil
property owned by his company, says
the Denver Republican OF October 80.
Mr.. Moran spent yesterday In Boulder
and spoke of the oil condition there. He
stated that the outlook was very poor
and that there were no wells being
drilled at present.
Operations in Boulder have practi-
cally ceased" he said, "and 1t is not
likely that they ever will be renewed.
Most of the men who came there during
the excitement have left. The OIL Well
Supply Company. which started a
branch at Boulder. has gone out Of
busin sss, and such a move on their part
is almost a sure indication that the fu-
ture oil prospect Is hopeless. The Oil
Well Supply Company has branches To-
Gated in nearly every town of import
ance in the East where oil is found. AS
soon as a discovery is made they i'm
mediately move in. and through them
the majority Of the drilling machinery
and other supplies is furnished
throughout the United States.
They are usually the last ones to
leave a place For time the Indiana
Glycerine Company had two men 10
Gated at Boulder who were engaged in
the manufacture Of nitro-glycerine.
They also have gone back. SO II any
more wells were drilled in the Boulder
field the production could not be deter
mined before the men who handle this
explosive are brought from the East
and put in shot"

Pueblo Portland Cement Plant.

Denver, Nov. ii. A. kebler,
former president of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company. is one OF the pro
moters of a Colorado cement plant
which is to be located at Pueblo. and
which will be the largest in the United
states of present plans are carried
out.
An expert from New York was sent
out some time ago to make an ex-
animation of the material for manufac-
turing cement His report was go
fiattering that 1t caused considerable
comment In the East and government
officials heard OF 1t.
E. c. Eccles. a government expert,
was sent out here to collect material
for a government report on the facili-
ties for cement manufacturing in Colo
rado. While he declined to make any
definite statement prior to submitting
his data to the government. it is known
he was surprised that so little use had
been made OF the lavish material in
Colorado.
The new plant at Pueblo will make
only Portland cement. All the finan-
ciai matters are said to be arranged.
and 1t is expected work will begin on
the plant very soon.

methods of reaching that tribunal hav-
ing expired. and 1t was deemed best to
commute the sentence.
There is a possibility" said the
governor, that If this man was hanged,
the same question might be submitted
to the Supreme Court at some future
time and the Board of Pardons would
have felt that 1t had been guilty OF IL
legally depriving man of his life. 80
on these grounds. the board decided To
commute the sentence"
Harvey King was to have been
hanged to-day. He looked forward To
his execution with satisfaction. Not
only had he made no effort to secure
reprieve or commutation of sentence
but he told his guardians at the peni-
tentiary that he would be glad when
he could expiate his crime upon the
gallows.
The first effort in behalf of the con-
demned man wns made on Thursday

States, by force of treaty obligations
requiring the maintenance OF order
across the Isthmus as necessary con-
sideration to free transit, the United
States government practically has been
placed in the position of a protector to
the new republic of Panama, and that,
too. regardless of any bias on the part
of the United States government to-
ward either party to the strife in Col
ombia.
A report was current that the Col
ombian government bitterly resented
this attitude on the part of the United
States government. holding that 1t had
infringed Colombia's sovereign rights
on the Isthmus and had interfered
without allowing Colombia to itself
ouell the revolution. But DIR. Herran,
the Colombian charge, to-day emphat-
ically denied that he had made such
representations, while the state depart.

this character had so far come from
the Colombian government. directly or
indirectly. So for practical purposes
the separation of Panama from Colom-
bia is complete and likely to be perma.

here.
1t is authoritatively stated to-day
that hough the recognition of the new
republic is of n business character at
first. consisting of an authorization
through our consular officials on the
Isthmus to do business with the new
government as they did with the Colom-
bian government. this will in due time

Washington, Nov. 7.-The events OF

situation on the Isthmus We're the rec
ognition of the de facto government of
the Republic of Panama; the receipt of
dispatches from Commander Hubbard
of the Nashville; the arrival in Wash
ington of Consul General Gudger of
Panama, and the issuance of orders to
Admiral Coghlan to proceed forthwith
TO the Isthmus with the consul general
Commander Hubbard cabed that the
Colombian government troops under
Generals Torres and Tovar. 45O strong
at Colon, had departed on a merchant
vessel. He stated that the Isthmus
from one side to the other was in the
hands of the revolutionists. This
statement is of the greatest Importance.
The United States government being
bound by treaty to maintain order and
preserve free .raffic across the lsthmus,
is now under obligation to prevent any
hostile collision either along the line of
the Panama railway or at the term
mi, Panama and Colon. Thus the fu-
ture attitude of the Colombian govern
ment toward the new republic of Pan
anna becomes of little Importance. for
1t is practically impossible for it to go
to war with Panama.
officials here familiar with the coun-
try declare that it is impossible to

ONE OF eERmANY's GREATEST.
Prof. Mommsen's Death Breaks LINK
in History.

in History.
With the passing of Prof. Theodor
Mommsen, Germany has lost the last
link between the present generation
of thinkers and scholars and those
who like Helmholtz and Virchow lent
the luster of their works to the past
four decades of German history. The
old historian frequently received cor
respondents in his home In Chariot
tenburg, one of Berlin's suburbs, and
made each interview the occasion oil
affairs, of which he was keen stu
an animated discussion OF American
dent.
Mommsen was fond of dwelling on
two ideas, any report of which lie re-
quested should not be published until
after his death. When asked once
what was the motive underlying the
kaiser's anxiety to possess powerful
navy he replied: Because he dreams
of German Trafalgar at the ex-
pense of either Great Britain or the
United States. He would prefer the
United States. because he has no
grandmother buried there"
Another favorite idea the old his
torian had was the peaceful creation
of German state within the United
States where Germans might reside
under some form of German selfgov-
ernment and live out their German
ideals untrammeled by the modern
political tendencies of the fatherland,
which he insisted were reactionary.
Surrounded by his large family
Mommsen spent his declining years
arranging his valuable collection of
manuscripts. Occasionally he would
issue a manifesto on some burning
public topic. His most recent utter
ances consisted of appeals for Ger
man university freedom, for an al
lance of the liberal and socialist
parties and for a better Anglo-Ger-
man understanding. Many of Momm-
sens countrymen refused to take him
seriously, declaring that he had failed
to keep step with the march of mod
ern events. but still thought in the
spirit of forty years ago. Germany.

ABOUT BABIES
AND CHILDREN
Be Kind
Be Be Kind Kind Be King


continue growing is the question.
Common advice is about as useful
as uncracked cocoanuts are digestible.
One mother confesses that the
theories which were successful with
her first three children were entirely
annihilated by the fourth.
A million babies daily cry for
drink of cool boiled water.
Smile on the baby Just out OF nap
and show a happy face when picking
it up.
Good rules may have so many excep-
tions that they become dangerous in
common use.
One mother asked another, who had
a one-year-old baby, what she had
been doing the last year. Her reply
was that she had been giving her
theories a respectful burial.
The baby should receive discrimi-
mating attention. Foolish and unnec-
essary worry that endangers the
health of the parent, and dangerous
carelessness which harms the baby,
ARE the extremes to keep away from.
A father of large family reported
that they used to enjoy children at
their house. At one time they had
two-year-old. pair of one-year-old
twins and a pair of one-month-old
twins. The neighbors had to help
little occasionally on sewing. but the
children grew up to marry well and
win independence. They were bright
and smart-they had to be to get out
of the way of each other.
Recently one case has been placed
on record where baby was smoth-
cred in bed while sleeping between its
parents.
At an afternoon reception, while
several ladies were exchanging baby
wisdom, these reports were given: II
have Just heard from our friends with
the new daughter. their first child.
They are SO afraid that something
will be wrong with the baby that II
she sleeps they think she is dying,
and they sit up and watch her. and if
she awakes and cries they are sure
she is dangerously sick. They have
a hard time dressing her. The father
was sure the nurse put the little vest
on over its feet, but the mother sue
ceeded in getting it on over its head"
A baby is an appetite framed by
nature.
Almost all articles on babies take 1t
for granted that the children are to be
brought up on bottles. and yet there
are five babies in one neighborhood
taking natures solution. 1t may be
that babies like these five do not need
any editorial assistance.
Charles wife writes us this: The
Lord doesn't send any babies to this
home. guess he thinks | don't know
much about taking care of them. But
do love the little folk"
Can you tell by baby's cry whether
it is a pin, pain or spurk?
Baby's first attempts to use its
hands are as humorous as young
mans first attempt to use his heart.
What about adopting children?
When should the childless prefer re-
sponsibility and doing to only giving
charity money? Are there principles
to go by7
Be Just as careful Of the boys as
you are OF the girls. 1t may be only
carelessness which makes it harder to
raise baby boy than it is to raise a
baby girl.
Why is 1t easier to tell your friends
all about your baby than to listen to
their reports of theirs?

His two sons visited him to-day and
during the two minutes they were in

was spoken, but the entire interview
was one of Joking and laughter. Just
as the boys were leaving the father
remarked "Good-bye." and expressed
the hope that he would meet them IN

surely hoped so. This was before there
was any intimation that the sentence
