LABOR LEADERS
AMERICAN LABOR FEDERATION
Meeting Of the Executive Council in
Denver.-President Gompers Pre-
! sides.-Membership Reaches Near
Iy Two Millions.

Denver, April 19-After making as
;signments for hearings of disputes, the
executive council of the American Fed
'eration of Labor got down to business,
yesterday. Two sessions were held at
the Windsor hotel. The adjustment Of
the differences between the local as
eemblies was called up. f. Cyphers.
j. Faulkenbaum, John Oliver, I. F.
Taylor, Thomas NJ Hyder. Ray Gan
ming, Henry Breese, w. A. Whitemey-
er, o. +. Thum and Charles Neander,
representing the ways and means COM
mittee. the Building Trades Council
and the Typographical and Cigarmak-
ers' unions, appeared before the councili
and requested that body to issue what
Is called an open charter for central
body.
The local laboring men argued that
there is possibility of bringing the.
two assemblies together if a charter be
issued by the American Federation OF
Labor that will take in any local un-
ion, whether it be affiliated with its in
ternational or not. Under such
charter every local union in Denver
could be eligible and it was claimed
the two warning central bodies would
bury the hatchet. The executive coun-
Gil decided to take the matter under
consideration till this afternoon, when
1t will meet with a committee from the
Incorporated Assembly to hear that
side.
A subcommittee consisting of Presi-
dent Gonpers and Vice President Dun
can was appointed to look into and re-
port on the status of the Chinese eX>
clusion act 1t was argued that the Chi
rese exclusion law will become inopera-
tive by reason of the peculiar phrase
ology of the existing law upon the sub
ject and the announcement on the part
of China of the termination of the
treaty now existing between that coun-
try and the United States.

PLEADED GUILTY:
oALeRAITA TO BE TRIED IN JUNE
Murderer Faces a Great Crowd in the
Court Room at Central City and
Confesses That He Killed His WIFE
and Son,

Denver. April ia Central City
dispatch last night says: His features
quivering and his knees shaking Wis
IDLY, Azel d. Galbraith was led into
the court room to-day in the presence
of fully 500 persons, men and women,
who had gathered to witness proceed
:ngs at the preliminary hearing. The
hearing lasted just ten minutes and at
the end Magistrate Thomas Hooper
bound the murderer over to the Grim
inal Court without bonds. The quiet
demeanor of the large crowd was very
marked. 1t is now thought by those in
charge of Galbraith that he is anxious
to escape the full penalty of his
crimes.
AS Galbraith entered the court
room at 1l:30 O'Clock he cast one hur-
ried glance about the room and saw
the faces Of those he had known for
years looking at him with open hatred
He then sat down with his back to the
Spectators and in voice so low as to
be hardly audible. he answered the
questions addressed to him by Deputy
District Attorney e. c. Miles.
Two separate charges Of wllfully,
unlawfully and with malice afore-
thought numbering his wife and young
son were addressed to Galbrath and
he was told to answer guilty or not
guilty.
For a full minute after the first
charge the murderer stood in perfect
silence. then he said: ITO the best of
my knowledge and belief | am guilty
of the charge" The charge was that
of numbering his son. Azel Donald.
The next charge was that OF the
murder of his wife, Jennie Lamb Gal
braith. The answer came quickly, the
prisoner answering that he desired to
answer that charge in the same terms
as the first.
!, Deputy Miles then went to where
District Attorney Thurman was sitting
and they held a short conference. at
the end of which the deputy asked
Galbraith to plead specifically guilty
or not guilty.
"As far as can recollect | am guilty
of both charges answered Galbraith.
| The names of the witnesses were then
read off and Galbraith was hurredly
removed by side door to his cell by
| Sheriff Cody and Deputy Sheriff Matt
| Ryan.
| So intense was the interest centered
on the preliminary hearing and Curl
| osity to see the prisoner was so great
that many of the stores here Wero
closed. The disappointment at tho
hon-appearance of Mrs. Lottie Russell
was marked She has excited great
curiosity in the minds Of Galbralth $
former acquaintances and they regard
her to a large extent as the cause OF
his downfall.
After the names of the witnesses
who will appear at the coming trial
had been read, their presence noted
and the court had stated that it would
be unnecessary to place any Of them
under bonds, Magistrate Hooper called
upon the murderer to stand up. Gal
braith did so. his agitation as marked
as before and was told that as he had
pleaded guilty he would be held
without bonds until his trial should
come up in the Criminal Court next
June.

Decrease in SMALLPOX.

DR.. Claude E. Cooper. secretary OF
the State Board of Health, believes
that smallpox will be entirely
stamped out in Colorado within few
years, owing to the care that is now
being exercised in vaccination. The
decrease of cases of smallpox during
the past six months in the state, as
compared with a similar period a year
ago, has been fully 500. Typhoid
fever was very light during the same
period of time in all parts of tho
state except Leadville. which suffered
an epidemic of the disease as the re,
suit of bad sanitary conditions, which
have since been remedied. The fol-
lowing report was submitted by Dr..
Cooper at the semi-annual meeting of
the Board, held April 11th:

SCIENCE PREVENTS BADNESS.
The Fatal Germ and It's Remedy Now
Facts of Science.

1t is the rarest thing in the world for
a man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald If he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide the new scalp antiseptic. Herp-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root and cleans the scalp OF
dandrun and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block, Butte, Mont, was en-
ttrely bald. In less than q month Herpi-
eide had removed the eremjes of hair
growth, and nature did its work by GOV.
ering his head with thick hair an inch

suit of hair. Sold by leading druggists.

S5,ooo,ooo FIRE.
New York's Water Front Visited
By A Destructive Blaze.

New York. May 3o.-The river
front at Hoboken today presents a
smoking mass OF ruins for a stretch
OF twelve blocks. Smouldering piles
OF piers and barges offer mute testi-
mony TO the flames that yesterday de-
stroyed S5.ooo.ooo worth OF property
on the river fronts.
Thousands OF bales OF cotton are still
burning The fremen say it will be
a couple OF days before the flames are
fully subdued. but that there is no
danger OF the spreading of the fire.
The fire started in the cabin Of a
barge along the Deleware, Lacawan-
ma and Western railroad pier and
spread to the pier, and before it was
extinguished destroyed nearly hun
dred barges. lighters. sehooners, and
smaller craft and burned fifty freight
cars on four piers. which were de-
st1oved.

Sounded Just Alike.

A rather dignihed young woman
entered a florists shop oon Maison
avenue, says the New York Press.
A shr;ll voice, resembling that of an
old woman, greeted her with.
Shut the door! Don't you know
it's cold?'
Much embarrassed, she looked
about for the speaker saying: "Ex-
cuse me, but the wind blew so hard
| could hardly close the door,
Then, to her great astonishment,
she found that she had been con-
versing with a parrot. Angered at
the bird for deceiving her so, she
turned her back upon the cage and
was intent upon examining some
flowers. Suddenly the same voice,
or what seemed to be, said to her:
What can I do for you, miss"
"If you hold your tongue 1 shall
be very grateful to you" re-
piled the young woman turning
around as she spoke, and discovering
the florists wife.
