by Nan Patterson. The case Is very
ugly--u one and the evidence promises
to be extremely sensational.
Julius Brown, a son of the late
Joseph M. Brown, who was Georgia's
war governor and also United States
senator for years, Is out in a card pro-
posing that the electors of all south
ern states vote for Roosevelt and
make his election unanimous. He
makes this proposition because, he
says, Roosevelt has been unjustly at
tackled on the negro question, about
the Philippines, and, in fact, on all
public questions, Mr.. Brown says:
Now, / honestly believe, as a Demo-
crat, that the best thing for US, the
south, to do, is for Judge Parker and
the Democratic executive committee
to request the southern electors to
cast their votes for President Roose-
welt and make his election unanimous.
He Is a good man, half southern, and
we Of the south ought to be able to
trust him"
Washington, November 10: Hailed
by a military blare, Of 20 trumpets,
whose prolonged note Of welcome rang
out sharp on the crisp November air
and was echoed far down the Poto-
mac, the bronze statue Of Frederick
the Great, presented to the American
people by Emperor William, was un-
veiled this afternoon by the Baroness
Speck Won Sternburg, the wife Of the
German ambassador. This beautiful
American woman was the central hg-
ure in an elaborate ceremony, which
was marked by great military and Of
fetal display. The statue was pre-
sented on behalf Of the emperor by
his personal envoy, the German am
bassador, who made a brief address
The president made the chief address
Of the day and accepted the gift on
behalf Of the American people. Re-
marks were made by Lieut.. Gen.
Chafree, chief Of the staff; Maj. Gen.
Gillespie of the general staff, master
OF ceremonies; Lieut.. Gen. Won Loew-
enfield, one Of the special commission
srs sent to the unveiling by the en-
peror, and Charlemagne Tower, Amer
ican ambassador to Germany.
There Is a very threatening state of
things in Colorado in consequence Of
the recent election. The returns show
the election Of former Gov. Adams, a
Democrat, to be governor, over Gov.
Peabody, the present executive, the
Republican candidate for reelection.
The Republicans charge wholesale and
outrageous frauds by the Democrats,
and are preparing to contest the de-
clared result Of the election. Gov.
Peabody says he will not give up his
office until he Is convinced that his
opponent was justly elected and he
does not think he will be convinced
The Democrats say they will seat
their man. There is much incendiary
talk, some even threatening to blow
up the state capitol, and one wild
Democrat predicting that If Peabody
tries to hold his Office there will be an
other Goebel affair. One proposition is
that Governor Adams take the oath
before a justice Of the supreme court,
demand his office Of Governor Peabody
and II he Is refused, appeal to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to employ Federal
troops to establish him in his rights.
That would be a radical proceeding,
and one very embarrassing to the pres
ident. Altogether the outlook Is ex-
ceedingly stormy and 1t will be sur
prising II the situation is adjusted In
Colorado without violent upheaVal and
some bloodshed.
joel A. Smith, formerly editor Of
the Monticello (Fla.) Constitution, was
last Thursday acquitted on the charge
of fraudulent use Of the mails. In 1901
Smith devised a scheme for the ex-
tension Of his circulation. He began
to advertise that he would give BIZ
cycles and watches for subscriptions,
the general offer being that Tor 20
subscriptions at one dollar each ne
would give a bicycle and in addition
he would pay soliciting agents S2O a
month for their work. For one year
this scheme worked admirably. and
II is estimated that during that time
Smith gave out $4,000 worth of pre-
miums. At the trial there were elght
witnesses who swore that they mad
engaged to work for Smith at $40 a
month, and they had given practlcally
all their time to their work ara tnat
Smith had not lived up to his agree
ment with them. 1t was this tnat
caused the action to be brought. on
the other hand, Smith, testifying IN
his own behalf, stated that he had no
fraudulent intention and that ne was
forced to give up his business OH ae-
count Of bitter attacks OF otner he"s-
papers on his methods and, too, on ac-
count of failing health. Judge BOAR
man charged the jury to base 'heir
verdict upon the defendants mten'iois
in the scheme, and the jury oroush'
in a verdict Of acquittal. At a former
hearing the case resulted In HIS
trial.
The story of Port Arthur. distress
