EVENING SESSION.
Timely Remarks by Elders Ritter, Hinek.
ley, Taylor and President Cannon.

The evening session convened at 7
o'clock In the Tabernacle, The choir
sang the hymn;
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell,
BY faith and love in every breast
Prayer was offered by Elder David L.
Davis.
The choir further sang:
On Each Faithful Bosom Shine
WILLIAM w. RITTER.
Elder William w Ritter was the first
speaker. He said that in contemplate
ing the condition of the Latter-day
Saints he had been led TO think that he
had never known time when the peo-
pie We're enjoying the prosperity they en-
1oyed today. Peace and plenty seemed TO
abound on every hand and most OF the
people were not only blessed with the
bare necessarles OF life, but also with
the luxuries as we'll. In dress the
Saints appeared to be on a par with
their nelghbors, while in the homes OF
the people peace and contentment
reigned supreme. There was very little
hostility towards the Latter-day Saints
al the present time and very frequently,
the newspapers expressed themselves
quite faVorably towards this people
The speaker attributed this condl-
tlon to the blessi sys of the Lord unto
His people. These blessings had come
to them through faithfulness, but with
IL all there was great danger of the
Saints becoming Indifferent, thus re-
peating the history of past ages and
generations. The Bible and Book OF
Norman We're replete with instances OF
this kind However, the Saints were
doing well In most respects. but there
was one thing they could improve IN
and that vas attending public worship.
The speaker said that in visiting the
assemblies of the Saints he was In the
habit OF counting those present and
then turning to the Bishop and asking
him the population OF the ward, after
which he would compute the percentage
present and had sometimes found II to
fall as low as five per cent and very
seldom II exceeded 40 per cent. This
condition, thought the speaker, was re-
sponslble for nearly every case OF npos-
tasy that ever occurred In the Church.
They first became lukcwarm and indif-
ferent and then began 10 find fault
with their nelghbors and those placed
over them In authority. The speaker
closed by admonlshing the Saints TO
discharge every duty developing upon
them In the Church.
BRIANT 5, HINCKLEY.
Elder Briant S. Hinckley next spoke.
He said he had been much interested In
the remarks OF Elder Ritter. for they

HERBERT VICE.PRESIDENT OF
THE COLORADO & SOUTHERN

Denver, Dec. 27.-The Republican
this morning says:
J. NJ Herbert, who has resigned the
position of manager of the Rio Grande
railroads, will, on January 1st. become
vice president of the Colorado &
Southern and the Fort Worth & Den
yer City railroads. Announcement of
this appointment was made yesterday
by President Frank Trumbull of those
roads. Mr.. Herbert will have full
charge of the operating departments
of both roads. The announcement of
his appointment to the new position,
following that made on Thursday of
his resignation from the management
of the Rio Grande, was total sur
prise to all but two or three persons
in the city. No announcement which
has been made in railroad circles in
the last few years has created as
much discussion.
Mr. Herbert is still in the East, but
will return to Denver next Sunday. He
will assume the duties Of his new posi-
tion next Thursday. ]. A. Edison, the
successor of Mr.. Herbert. will arrive in
the city from Kansas City the first of
next week. He has been general man
ager of the Kansas City Southern rail-
road, generally known as the Port Ar
thur route. His resignation also was
announced on Thursday.

1t was stated that the college is in
great need Of funds to carry out the
plans for extension, and President Slo-
cum said that public spirited people of

ment fund to $1,O0O.O0O, which would
be sufficient to maintain the institu-
ton.

FROr1 DENVER
TO MONTANA

Red Lodge, Mont. Dec. 27.-One of
the officials of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone Company in Montana
has made announcement of plans OF
the company which are Of vast import
ance to a large section of western
country. namely. the speedy construc-
ton of direct telephone line to Den
yer. through Wyoming.
The first move in the contemplated
improvement will consist of the ex-
tension Of a line from Bridger. Mon
tana. the terminus of branch of the
Northern Pacific. into Wyoming. This
will place nearby Wyoming points in
long-distance connection with Butte
Dillon, Helena. Missoula.~ PocatellO
Idaho, and Salt Lake City.
But that much Of an accomplish
ment, though Of incompatible CONNER
cial Importance, is only beginning oi
the company's design for the enlarge
ment and improvement of the service
Passing out Of Wyoming. the contem-
plated line will extend to Denver. Al
present 1t Is necessary, even to talk
as far as the line extends. to make an
almost endless series of connections
between minor exchanges. 1t is al
best an inferior system.
The proposed and practically estab-
lished route Of the new line is from
Bridger to Cody, wyoming; thence to
Thermopolis and Meeteetse. and on
eastward. 1t will be the most modern
metallic circuit line throughout.
Bridger. the town for which United
States Senator w. A. Clark has
planned SO much, is growing daily In
commercial importance. It's beet sugar
factory will probably soon be a GER
tninty.
The Bell company has accepted the
gauntlet thrown down by the inde-
pendent Montana and Wyoming Tele--
phone Company, and fight to the fin
ish is on. Refused admittance to the
city of Red Lodge. the company has
established long-distance station
within two blocks Of the business cen
ter OF the town, this being outside the
city limits. II Is only a question oi
timc before It will gain admittance tf
tho city, in the opinion Of many busi.
ness men here.

Colorado & Southern and Fort Worth
& Denver City railroads is practically
a new Office created for Mr.. Herbert.
When B. l.. Winchell was connected
with the Colorado & Southern his title
was vice president and traffic manager.
When Mr.. Winchell resigned. G. l..
Wellington. his successor, was given
the title of traffic manager and Mr..
Trumbull personally assumed the du-
ties in connection with the operating
department, which had been in charge
of Mr.. Winchell. These will now be
assumed by Mr.. Herbert Mr.. Herbert
is to have full charge of the operating
department of both roads, but will not
interfere with the traffic of other de-
partments now created.
The new position which Mr.. Herbert
is to fill is more remunerative than his
Office with the Rio Grande roads. 1t
was rumored yesterday that his salary
would be $4,000 year. His salary as
manager of the Ro Grande roads is
$4,000 year. The mileage over which
he will have Jurisdiction will be ma
terially decreased. On the Rio Grande
roads he had charge OF about $500
miles, while the mileage on the Colo
RADIO & Southern and the Fort Worth
& Denver City amounts to less than
900 miles.
New offices will be arranged for Mr..
Herbert on the seventh floor OF the
Cooper building.

ELECTION CONTESTS FILED
BY WHOLESALE in DENVER

Arapahoe county. It is charged that
they are primarily responsible for out
RACES against the purity of the ballot,
and the complaint against these off,
cials sets forth, among other things:
That they, having control Of the
election machinery, agreed to procure
false registration of names on the reg
istration sheets and books Of the coun-
ty. and caused the same to be padded.
and that they allowed the policemen
and firemen to aid in the work.
| 1t is alleged that agents of the DEM
ocratic machine placed fictitious names
to the number of 10000 on the regis
tration lists. That of 5000 formally
qualified persons on the list 1000 were
impersonated and voted by other par
ties: that County Clerk Aichele pre-
vented $500 legal voters, 1000 of
whom were Republicans, from regis
tering, and that the Board Of County
Commissioners appointed corrupt and
criminal election judges in many pre-
cincts.
The six other contests for Democrat
ic seats in the House were filed as fol-
lows:
Richard W. Morgan against NJ J.
Moore, Hiram M. Lowell against B. C.
Hilliard. Earl D. McGill against George
B. Weir, Samuel E. Naugle against
Thomas E. Munson, Granley Hillyer
against ]. A. Traxler, and S. H. Stew
ems against ]. R. Aguilar.
The allegations in all these contests
cover the same ground. with charges
of error, fraud and mistake in regis
tration, intimidation of voters and the
rejection of legal votes.
| The Senate contests are entitled
Willis v. Elliot ct al. against Fred w.
Bailey ct al, and H. w. Twombly
against William A. Hill. The charges
cover the same ground as in the repre-
sentative contest papers, and in his
answer Senator Hill not only makes a
general denial. but also makes coun-
ter charges of fraud, error and mistake
in registration in receiving and reject
ing votes in favor of his Republican
contestor.
| A separate contest was filed in the
Senate by Charles H. Freeman, Repub-
lican, against John Kennedy, Demo-
crat, from the Eighteenth float district,
composed of San Juan, Hinsdale and
Archuleta counties, with similar gen.
eral allegations
Contests have also been filed by
Robert W. Bonynge. Republican,
against John F. Shafroth. Democrat.
for the office of member of Congress
from the First district, and Mrs. Anna
B. Brandt against Mrs. Helen M. Gren-
fell for the Office of superintendent OF
public instruction.

Roosevelt will not be the arbitrator
Of the Venezuelan controversy. The
whole vexatious subject will be re-
ferred for adjudication to The Hague
tribunal.
Epitomized, this was the situation as
It had resolved itself at the conclusion
Of the cabinet meeting yesterday. Tho
meeting was not SO long as the scs-
sions usually are. All the members
except Secretary Root were present.
The Venezuelan question was the prin.
cipal, and, practically. the only topic
OF general concern under considera-
ton.
Secretary Hay presented the results
OF his cable correspondence with the
governments at London, Berlin. Rome
and Caracas. In accordance with the
suggestion made by President Roose-
welt through Secretary Hay, President
Castro was reported to have agreed
to submit the differences to the arbi-
trati0n Of the tribunal at The Hague.
The European powers not only con-
sented to submit the controversy to
arbitration, but while they had ex-
pressed preference for an arbitration
to be conducted by President Roosc-
volt, he said they had asssnted to his
suggestion that the matter be rafn-~ed
TO The Hague.

An answer to the charges of H. W.

There were twenty-five contests filed

1t was 4:20 o'clock when the big

GOVERNOR SCHROEDER REPORTS
CONDITIONS in GUAM ISLAND

Washington, Dec. 27.-The annual
report of Commander Seaton Schroed-
er. governor Of the island of Guam.
which is dated July 10th, and which
has just reached the Navy Department,
indicates a rather serious condition in
the islands finances, owing to the
failure OF Congress to appropriate the
sum asked for last year. The receipts
last year were in round numbers $685.
900, and the expenditures $57 900, leav-
ing balance of $4,000, which, how
ever, Is a decrease of over $13 900 in
the cash balance for the preceding
year.
This loss is due largely to the unex-
pected expenses incident of over $10,-
900 in important duties. Commander
Schroeder reports that it has been
deemed prudent to stop all work of
public improvement until further ap-
preparations shall be made. The value
Of the exports and imports during the
year have been respectively $35, $40 and
$35, ,165. The exports consisted almost
entirely of Mexican dollars. Not a
pound of copra has been exported, and
neither cocoa nor coffee has been pro-
duced' in sufficient quantities to supply
the home market, owing to the slow
recoveries from the effects of the hur-
ricane Of 1900. The governor suggests
that 1t would be great boon If the De-
partment Of Agriculture would estab-
lish an experimental station in the is
land.
The governor recommends that n a
Philippine silver dollar of fixed value
Is to be coined under the laws Of the
