Sensation in Denver Election Cases

Denver, Col, Dec. I5.-By deciding
to throw out the vote of precinct 7,
ward 8, of this city, in consequence of
frauds committed there at the late cleo
ton, the supreme court established a
precedent that may be applied to many
other precincts in which, it is alleged,
the courts injunction order was vio-
lated and thereby vitally affect the re-
suits of the late election. Should SIM
liar action be taken in other cases to
the extent demanded by republican law
yers it will result in the election of the
entire republican legislative ticket in this
county and give the republicans control
OF both branches Of the legislature. On
the face of the returns the republicans
have a majority in the house and the
democrats majority In the senate.
Another result of the exclusion of a
few precincts would be to put the re-
publications in possession of all the city
and county Offices except the mayoralty,
should the supreme court decide that
the spring election was not legal and
that these offices were to be filled at the
November election. The democratic
.majorities ran from 700 to 1000
Should the entire vote Of those city
wards over which the supreme court
assumed jurisdiction be disregarded, Al
va Adams, democratic candidate for
governor, would lose I8,845 votes and

but this alone would not result in his
defeat, as his majority in the state is
Something over 1900.
In announcing the decision to exclude
the returns of precinct 7, ward 8, Chief
Justice Gabbert said:
:, Frauds cannot be fully prevented
unless the court assuming jurisdiction
to prevent them has the power to undo
them in all cases where they are COM
mitted in violation of its orders.
= "a court of equity has the inherent
power to effectuate its orders and the
motion will therefore be sustained"
+ Dissenting from the opinion of JUS
tices Gabbert and Campbell, Justice
Steele said:
ft ain my opinion the finding of the
court is unwarranted, unprecedented and
directly contrary to the law. This court
has no power to take the action that it
has

This is what Mrs. 3Shylles Leveridge
said to the New York City Mothers
Club at the Murray Hill Hotel today
when she made an appeal for resolu-
tions condemning the recent determina4 Y
tion Of the board OF education to con-
solidate boys and girls schools under
a man principal The Optunia Club,
of which Mrs. Leveridge is a member,
made the first move in this direction.
People who are not teachers do not
realize the enormity of the PROPOSE
tion," she said. Let us give the board
of education to understand that wo-
men do not want their daughters
taught by men. This is part of gen-
eral move to make all women mere
heads Of departments at half the salary
of men. =
The matter was referred to the exc
cutive board for further consideration.

" c. NORMAL.

Valley City, N. D., Dec. r5.-The fall
term of the state normal school will
close Thursday, Dec. 22, with gradual
ing exercises. Only one graduate re-
ceives a diploma, but exercises at the
end of the fall term have not been COM
mon in North Dakota 1t is probable
hereafter that there will be graduates
at the close of nearly every term. This
year Miss Lucie l.. Frazier of Willis
ton will graduate. The address will be
delivered by Professor Burgess Shank,
instructor in mathematics.
The class for graduation in June NUM-
bers about fifty, the enrolment for the
fall term having been about 900. When
school reopens, Jan. s, about 100 new
students are expected. This will bring
the Valley City Normal into the first
rank among the northwestern normal
schools, SO far as attendance is con-
cerned. Z. NJ

Remarkable Race for Xmas Dinner

New York, Dec 15.-The last stage
of remarkable race half way around
the world to enable him to eat his
Christmas dinner in London was be-
gun today by Commander Watson of
the British navy. 1t was due entirely
to the fact that the big steamer Ocean
.ic had been held at her pier nearly a
quarter of an hour past her scheduled
sailing time by an enormous amount of
Christmas mail and express matter
that Commander Watson was enabled
to make this last Of long series of
close connections which began at
Hong Kong more than month ago.
Just as the steamer was all ready to
sail for Liverpool a cab drawn by a
galloping horse dashed onto the pier
and Commander Watson sprang out
and ran up the gang plank just before
the ropes were cast off. r. ~a

THE PRISONER WAS
HOOTED AND JEERED

Cleveland, O., Dec. I5.-Five times in
dicted by the United States at the ex-
act minute that her train rolled into
the station, Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick
came home to Cleveland yesterday aft
ernoon. She was greeted with jeers,
boots and Kisses by the crowds that
gathered in the depot when her train ar
rived howled at by hundreds gathered
in front of the federal building. The
last sound that reached her from the
outside world, as she passed into the
stuffy office of Sheriff Barry in the
county Jail was the hoot of derision
from the people massed in front of
the doorway. She made no attempt to
give bail and after brief stop i'll the
Office of the clerk of the United States
court, was taken to jail. She was held
last night in cell ID in the women's
department of the Jail, and her palatiai
residence on Euclid Avenue, of which
the furnishings alone are valued at
100000. is occupied by her maid, A
Her courage held to the last, but
her body failed her and when she had
mounted the three flights of stairs lead
ing to, the tier Of cells where she is
to remain, she collapsed utterly and fell
in a dead faint. vt~.
The federal grand jury returned the
indictments against Mrs. Chadwick,
President Beckwith and Cashier Spear
of the Citizens National Bank of OBJ
erlin, at the exact minute that Mrs.
Chadwick's train rolled into the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern depot in
this city.
The federal indictments against Mrs.
Chadwick are FIVE in number, three Of
them charge her with aiding and abet-
ting officers of national bank to de-
fraud the institution, and two charge
her with conspiring against the United
States Of the four i'll dictments
against President Beckwith of the OBJ
erin Bank, two charge him with misap-
plication of funds of national bank;
one with conspiracy to commit an of
fense against the United States, and one
with certifying checks when no funds
were on hand The indictments against
Cashier Spear are the same as those
against President Beckwith.

Shaw Argues for Millers vs.. Farmers

s4A n lE44g
Washington, Dec AT the request
of Secretary Shaw, representatives of a
number Of leading -four interests of the
United States called at the treasury de-
partnent, in conference over the subject
of regulations under contemplation to
allow drawbacks on exported flour made
in part from imported wheat. During
the conference the secretary question:
ed the mil1ers present on several mat
tiers of detail in connection with the
milling Of wheat, the condition of ex-
port trade and the necessity for the
action asked for.
AT the conclusion of the conference,
the following statement made by Secre-
stary Shaw was given out: s
There are three distinct propositions
covering the manufacture Of flour for
the export trade from imported wheat:
aFirstFor many years mills have
been permitted to manufacture Hour in
bond. Under the law applicable to such
cases no duty is paid, but the imported
wheat is taken to the bonded mill there
converted into -four and by-products un-
der government supervision and the en-
tire product Of the imported wheat is
exported Nothing goes into corlsunnp-
|tion and no duty IS paid. Bran will
mot stand exportation, SO this plan Is
not desirable.
Second The law also authorizes ths
manufacture Of flour from imported
wheat in ordinary mills and drawbacks
equal to the duty on the wheat. less
