THE GOVERNORS COMMISSION
PREDICTS END OF THE STRIKE

would take the verbal agreement of the
other made in the presence of the
board. A written agreement has not
been contemplated, for this and other
reasons.
We believe that an amicable ar
rangement may be made with the par
ties within the next forty-eight hours
We base this belief. primarily, upon the
fact that the difference seems one of
form as to the agreement rather than
upon the result which We think will be
certain to follow If either of the prop
ositions given Below shall be adopted.
The principal contention at this time is
as to limit of time within which men
who have been discharged or are upon
strike shall be taken back It ap-
pears to us that the difference Is one Of
form merely, for the reason that We
think that as soon as the boycott is
taken of the increased shipment Of
ores to the Colorado City mills from
the CRIPPLE Creek district will necessi-
tate the employment Of all the men
who have had experience in mill work.
The offer of the business mems COM
mittee of Victor to give employment in
the Cripple Creek district to all form
er employees at the Standard mill who
are out OF work at wage OF $S per
day ought to simplify the matter of
employment very much. Aside from
this, We are informed that the Tellu-
ride mill at Colorado City will start
up the first day of April and furnish
employment TO not less than fifty men.
AT IL O'Clock to-day the meeting of
the board End the parties attending
to-wit, Mr.. Meyer. Mr.. MacNeill and
Mr. Franklin-was adjourned until 10
o'clock Monday evening at the Alamo
hotel. In the meantime President Moy-
er will visit Denver for the purpose
of comforting with his associates. re-
turning to Colorado City tomorrow af-
ternoon. when the matter will again be
taken up by the Mill and Smeltermen's
Union of that place"
The statement is signed by Judge c.
d. Hayt. chairman of the board.

expense of handling by other roads.
This is complete change in the orig
inal plans of the company, and was
due to the fact GIat they could not
make satisfactory terms with other
roads
Under the present plans it is not
likely that the road will attempt to
carry its own tracks into Denver for
long time, If at all. They have now
the choice of two routes into the city
from the station at Utah Junction, on
roads already built and operating, and
without any charge for terminal facai-
ties. 1t also opens the way for the
handling of the coal product from the
Leyden mine and the other mines of
the company by way of the Burlington
east and all through the northern part
OF the state.
Our intention is now" said Mr.. Moi
fat yesterday. ito depend upon our own
lire all that we can in the building of
the road Under the plan adopted we
can secure all the terms that we desire
from the roads for the bringing in of
the construction materials from the
East and distribute II ahead of us as
we build. Tracklaying will soon begin
in earnest from the Denver end, and
continue as fast as the contractors on
the grade complete their work. and
make 1t possible. That brings the
road within two miles and a half of
the city. and as soon as 1t gets far
enough out to make it an object the
service of the road will be commenced.
and it is not too sanguine guess TO
say that 1t will be soner than has been
generally expected. We hope to carry
all OF our tunnel machinery to the site
of the work ourselves. Every effort is
now being made to push things as fast
as they can be pushed by men,.

tify to the commissioners the names
of all taxpayers in the county; that
these be placed on slips and that they
be commingled, and 500 names be
drawn from them by chance. and that
panel of 100 jurors be drawn from
these, to be summoned for Tuesday
morning at II o'clock.
'It was found that the juror. Huff
man, was put on the jury panel
through his own solicitations.
Senator Wolcott made a fierce But
veiled attack on the News and Times
and Senator Patterson.
Mr.. Patterson replies, and Mr.. c.
J. Hughes completely turns the tables
upon Wolcott by reading from the Re
publican extracts about the case which
he denounced as foul, brutal and dis
graceful.
"Futher proceedings in the case ad-
journed until Tuesday morning, at IL
o'clock"
The reports of the Denver morning
papers. the News and Republican. are
strongly partisan. the former favoring
the executors and the latter the con-
testant
Mr.. Wolcott, for the contestant, pro-
tested vigorously against the attitude
of the News and Times. Mr.. Patter-
sons papers. and the latter and his
colleague. Mr.. Hughes, quoted from
the Republican to show that its utter
ances were equally biased.
Judge Seeds stated that he thought
both sides believed in having fair
trial, and he intended to aid them. 1t
was the duty of the press to assist in
such a worthy endeavor. Neither
press nor individuals should inject
anything that would interfere with
justice and the proper hearing of the
suit. He hoped the press and attor-
neys and all concerned would assist in
its responsibilities and should there be
any undue interference, the court
would take the severest steps to pro-
tect the court and litigants.

DEAF MADE TO HEAR.
Remarkable Invention Of Mr.. Hutehfr,
son Works Successfully.

Another interesting demonstration
of the powers of the ACQUISITION" has
been given in New York City by the
inventor, Miller Reese Hutchinson.
Mr. Hutchinson selected as subjects
for the experiment several inmates Of
the New York Institution for the Ia
struction of Deaf and Dumb. Some
had been stricken with deafness at too
early an age to remember what the
meaning of sound was, and one young
girl in particular almost went into
spasms of delight when the ear-piece
was adjusted and she heard the strains
of music.
Mark Twain was in the little audi
ence, as was also Mrs. George Dewey,
wife of Admiral Dewey. There was
one skeptic present. He was deaf, but
had no faith in the invention, so he
asked to be put in the chair. This
was done and his face flushed with
surprise when he was able to distin-
guish mamma" from papa" Mr..
Hutchinson said, Hello" TO him and
he repeated it.
A number of other tests we're made
and all were successful.

SECOND PANEL IN THE STRATTON
CASE DISMISSED BY COURT

Denver, March 29.-The Republican
this morning summarizes it's special
dispatches from Colorado Springs yes
terday, as follows:
"All the names in the jury box of
the District Court were ordered de-
stroyed by the court this afternoon on
account of the panel having been IL
legally drawn. This means about 700
names less from which to select jury
in the great Stratton will case, and a
delay of three days in the proceedings
and an added interest to the sensation
al suit pending for the Stratton mil
lions.
THE attorneys of the estates execu-
tors challenged the whole list on tech
nical grounds: the attorneys for young
Stratton opposed the proposition, but
the court declared that the second pan
ell OF sixty men summoned to appear
should not serve. and that all the
names drawn at the beginning of the
term of court. originally 500, should
be inyalidated.
IAN emergency venire was ordered
Of 100 persons, to be drawn from a list
of every taxpayer in the county, thus
giving 5000 names to select from.
This was done under an agreement
of the attorneys and the court to make
the jury panel as wide. representative
and free from possible suspicion of
taint or jobbery as possible.
"A return of the venire Of 100 was
ordered for Tuesday, at II o'clock,
when court will reconvene and an ef-
fort be made to reach a beginning in
the suit proper"
Following is the summary published
by the News:
The panel OF sixty jurors sum-
moned on Friday was found to be il
legal and .he names to have been
placed in the jury box in total disre-
gard of the law.
The court directs that to secure a
jury free from taint the treasurer GER

Denver, March 3o.-The advisory
board. or commission. appointed by the
governor 10 endeavor to secure settle
ment of the mill strike controversy be-
fore leaving Colorado Springs for Den
yer last night issued a statement in
part as follows:
''Many private conferences have been
held the latter part of the week, at
all of which the following parties have
been present with the advisory board:
.-Charles B. MacNeill. vice president
and general manager Of the United
States Reduction and Refining Com
pany.
Charles H. Meyer. president Of the
Western Federation of Miners.
Nelson Franklin. chairman business
mems committee of Victor.
Il have no hesitancy in saying that
all of these parties have worked un-
selfishly for the purpose Of bringing
about an adjustment.
Both Mr.. MacNeill and Mr.. Meyer
have fully stated at these meetings the
positions Of the bodies represented. re-
speCtively. by them, and both have
seemed desirous of making concessions
for the purpose of harmony; and where
concessions have not been made each
has fully stated the reason why such
concessions were refused. We believe
that these meetings have resulted in
bringing about better understanding
between the parties, although. unfor-
tunately. no adjustment has as yet been
arrived at At times 1t has seemed to
the board that an agreement would
certainly be made within few hours.
while at other times the prospect of
reaching such an agreement has seemed
to be very remote.
The statement that Mr.. Meyer
agreed at any time to certain terms
and afterwards refused to sign writ
ten agreement embodying such terms
is incorrect Both Mr.. Meyer and Mr..
MacNeill have repeatedly stated that
written agreement was unnecessary,
and that in case of an adjustment each

FEARFUL CRIME IN
LA PLATA COUNTY

Denver. March 3l.-A Republican
special from Durango last night says:
At BAYFIELD,. this county, yesterday.
Halden II. Patterson killed his daugh-
ter and then committed suicide.
Patterson and his wife were di-
vorccd last November and the custody
OF their only child. girl between Ave
and six years. was awarded to each Of
them. first one keeping her four months
months and then the other. this being
by agreement. The child has been
with the mother most Of the time.
Yesterday Patterson left the Florida
ranch, belonging to his mother. and
wont to bayfield,. While there he called
TO see the child. and while the little
pirl was sitting on his left knee he
drew n revolver and shot her through
the heart. the ball passing through the
childs body and through his own arm.
The mother rushed in from another
room. grabbed the reeling child and
started on run across the street.
whereupon Patterson turned the gun
on himself with fatal results. the ball
passing through the heart.
The dead man is the son OF the late
l.. II. Patterson. who was one OF the
best known and prominent men OF the
country. II is said no quarrel or words
took place between Patterson and his
divorced wife. Patterson has been de-
spondent for some little time. and is
said to have remarked the other day
that the child would be better dead
than living with the neither. who is
keeping a boarding house at bayfield,.
II In said that the child expressed a
preference for living with the mother.
and that this caused Patterson much
unhappiness.

PRESIDENT WILL
BRING FEW PEOPLE

Washington. March So.-In arrang-
ing a presidential trip such as Mr..
Roosevelt is about to make, the great
est problem is to steer clear of local
and factional squabbles in the cities
where the President is to be enter
tanned.
There will not be as many people
accompany the President on his forth
coming trip as were with him on his
other western trip, or on his trip
through the East and South. AS far
as can be learned the party will in
clu6e Secretary Loeb. Assistant Secre-

and two secret service men, John Bor-
roughs. the naturalist, who will ac-

who will act as his escort through the
Yosemite. one representative of each
of the three press associations: one
representative of the three weekly IL
lustrated newspapers: one official pho
tographer and one representative Of
each of the two telegraph companies.
Besides these room will be made on
the train for six or eight representa-
tives of the papers of the locality
through which the President Is pass
ing. These men will be changed from
day to day. For instance. representa-
tives Of the Omaha papers will be on
the train for certain distance. leav-
ing It at Council Bluffs. where their
places will be taken by representa-
tives OF the papers OF Iowa; they in
turn will give way to the men from st.

cluded. The big papers Of the East

such structure as is now contemplated,
but such foresight is rarely exhibited
by the workingman when he buys a
small parcel of land for his permanent
homo.
Furthermore, it is much easier 10
trace events through past years than
future years, and it is safe to presume
that nearly every foot of property ad-
jacent to the station site was bought be-
cause il was cheap and not because the
purchasers foresaw a union station.
A glance at the assessment book of
the District tax Office will show that
most all of that property was rated at
from cents to Is cents per foot. Cor
ner property was assessed at 10 cents
per foot. When this is taken into con-
sideration it is herd TO see where any

THIS PASTOR ADvERrIsEs.

The pastor of a Presbyterian church
in San Jose believes in filling his
church, says the San Francisco Bulle-
tin" In the San Jose papers once or
twice week he inserts a little notice
something like the following, which ap-
peared last Monday:
FOUND ASLEEP-So you slept in
church yesterday, did you? Well, it was
rather a drowsy day, but if you had
been at the Second Presbyterian Church
you wouldn't have dozed. The pastor
preached two earnest, enthusiastic ser
mons, and the music was alive and in
spring Mrs Hillman Smith sang that
old favorite, The Holy City. to the en-
joyment of all, and the chorus choir
rendered two anthems. The congrega-
ton was nearly as large as the church
itself"
