Haywood on Trial.

Denver, May 10-william D. Hay
wood, secretary Of the Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners, who has been under
arrest for several weeks on a charge
Of desecrating the American flag, was
given a trial yesterday morning in
Justice Hynes' court. The act OF desc
Grafton. as claimed, consisted in the
printing by the federation OF . num-
Der Of questions on a picture Of the
flag and passing them out as circulars.
Among the questions was: "Is Colo
RADIO in America?"
Deputy District Attorney Taylor Of
fered one of the flags as evidence and
brought out the fact that the Western
Federation had had 1t issued. He
made his argument on the statute
which strictly prohibits the use of a
flag for advertising purposes.
Attorney Hawkins for Haywood in
sisted that the statute was not consti
tutional, and that IL 1t were. nothing
could be done to his client, as the law
said that flags could not be desecrated.
He held that picture OF flag was
not a flag, and went on to show that
innumerable business houses all over
the country used pictures Of the ma
tional colors for advertising purposes
without the least objection from any
body.
Justice Hynes took the matter un-
der advisement and will render . de-
cision Thursday.

Denver whoIesaI. Hou.. Burned.

Denver. May 8.-The Hurlbut Gro
Gerry Company's wholesale house at
1433 to 1899 Lawrence street was
completely destroyed by fire last night
involving loss of over $4,000. The
flames were first observed shortly af-
ter $3.50 o'clock by a lodger In the
Suffolk rooming house across the al
ley. They were then well under way.
The fire continued to gain against the
utmost efforts of the fire department
until midnight, when the contents OF
the building had been practically con-
sumed, and the water began to count
against the heat. Although several
accidents were narrowly averted. no
one was seriously injured. Fatigued
with their long fight at the scene of
the Curtis theater fire Friday night,
the fire department was again at work
all last night. 1t was not until late In
the morning that 1t was considered
safe to leave the place. Most of the
loss. which was about equally divided
between the building and stock, Is
said to be covered by insurance. This
is the second time within little more
than a year that the Hurlbut Grocery
Company has suffered by fire. On
March IL, 1903. the retail house on
Fifteenth street was burned, entailing
a loss OF about $4,000,

Miss Meeker's Answer.

Denver. May S.-A Republican spe-
cial from Greeley last night says: A.
new light was thrown on the Meeker
affair by the filing to-day of an an
swer to the complaint filed by Arvilla,
d Meeker and Ralph Meeker against
Rozene Meeker. In her answer Miss
Meeker AYERS that Ralph Meeker and,
Miss Lillian Whiting. a well known
Boston writer. author of Life Radi'
ant" and World Beautiful" are the
real plaintiffs in the case; and she
alleges that they have conspired to
deprive her OF her rights in the Meek
er estate and to poison her mothers
mind against her and deprive her OF
her mothers love. The defendant as
serts that In January. soon after her
mother had decided certain property to
her. Ralph Meeker arrived from New
York City and was followed shortly by
Miss Lillian Whiting OF Boston. When
he ascertained that his mother had ex-
ecuted the deed it is charged that he
few into a great rage at the defend
ant, grasped her by the throat, violent
ly shook her and swore that she should
return the deed.
Ralph Meeker and Miss Lillian
Whiting are alleged to have excluded
the defendant from the presence of her
mother. denied her the privilege OF
seeing her sick mother and subjected
her to indignities and humiliation.
Miss Meeker further AYERS that Ill
treatment and abuse of her was kept
up by Ralph Meeker and Miss Whiting
for almost a month with such persist
ence and vigor as to render the defend.
ant almost frantic with worry and sick
ness.
The defendant AYERS that her moth.
er does not know of the real state OF
affairs and that she is being used as a
tool. Miss Meeker alleges that 1t was
agreed between her mother Ralph and
herself, that II she stayed at home and
cared for her mother the property
would be decided to her.

DEAD
u. M. STANLEY DIES IN LONDON.
Close Of the Career Of One Of the
/ Worlds Greatest Explorers and
Newspaper Correspondents.


London. May 1O.-Sir Henry M.
Stanley, the African explorer, is dead.
Sir Henry, who was attacked by pleu-
risy a fortnight ago, died at his London
residence. His illness was compli-
Gated by chronic heart trouble. He
had been in a semi-conscious condition
since Sunday afternoon.
Henry M. Stanley was conceded to
be the most noted traveller and ex-
plorer of his time. His greatest fame
grew out of his finding DR.. David Liv-
ingston. in the. heart Of Central AT
RIGA, after that greatest of all mis-
sionaries had been lost to the world
for several years, and later Stanley's
successful efforts in carrying out the
work begun by Livingston in solving
for the world the secrets of Darkest
Africa. -i
The first years of Stanley's life were
spent in an English poor-house. His
name was Henry M. Ragland, but at
an early age he went to New Orleans
to live with an uncie and assumed that
uncle's name-Stanley. His school ed
ucation was limited, and before he had
reached the age of 20 he had enlisted
In the Southern army. At the close
Of the war he drifted to Colorado, and
he is remembered by many of the men
who first gathered at the Gregory dig
gings near Central City. 1t is said that
his first journey Of exploration was
made down the Platte river, starting in
q common row boat at Denver, and ex-
tending his journey to the Missouri
river.
At that time Stanley commenced to
write for the newspapers, and the next
heard of him was when he accom-
panied a government expedition, of
which John ID. Rowland, the Denver
artist, was the official secretary, to
the Rosebud and Sioux agency in Da-
kota. He was then correspondent for
the New York Herald.
Later Stanley went to Europe, and
next made two journeys into Africa
as war correspondent-firs to Abys-
sinia and then to Ashanti.
James Gordon Bennett then sent
Stanley to find Livingston, and then
followed his memorable journeys into
the unknown regions of that continent.
his discovery of the sources of the
Congo river. and further five years
spent in the development of the Congo
region in the employ of King Leopold.
In 1886. while on a lecturing tour in
the United States, he was called upon
to rescue Emin Bey. the lost governor
Of Ethiopia, in upper Egypt. That
work he carried out successfully in the
next three years. winning the acclaim
Of the entire world. No man was ever
given higher honors.
Stanley settled down In London. His
one aim in life was to sit as q member
in the English Parliament. At first he
met defeat, the next effort was sue
cessful, and he has been reelected
time and time again.
From a poor-house he rose. by his
unaided efforts. to be member Of the
British Parliament.

General 1xner on Trial.

Bowed down with the weight Of
almost fourscore years, helpless par

the tribulations that have come in the
autumn of his life, General James M.

Canal Commission Rules.

President Roosevelt had a long con-
ference with Secretaries Hay and Taft
and Attorney General Knox, at which
the regulations to govern the Isthmian
canal commission were determined on
6nally.
While the creation and work of the
commission is committed by law to
the President, whose authority in that
regard is practically supreme, the
President, by the regulations, directs
that the commission shall exercise its
powers under the direction and super
vision of the secretary of war.
. General George w. Davis. the army
member of the commission, is appoint
ed governor of the American zone on
on the Isthmus. Until the expiration
Of the Fifty-eighth Congress, the 18TH
milan commission will exercise legis-
lative authority over the American
"trip. Governor Davis is given author
lty to appoint one Judge, who shall
exercise judicial authority.
Under the operation of what is
known as the Dockery law, the audit
Ing of the commissions accounts will
fall to the duty of the auditor Of the
State Department; but beyond the
matter OF auditing. the State Depart
ment will not be charged with any
control over the commission. The
commission will report directly to the
secretary of war as often as he may
direct, upon all phases Of its opera
tions. 1t will then be under the same
sort Of control of the secretary of war
as is the Philippine commission. All
directions concerning the operations of
the commission are set out fully in the
regulations and a recitation is made of
all the operations leading up to the ac-
QUESTION of the canal property and the
appointment of the commission.
