Snyder was one of skating party
who were skating on the pond. The
other members of the party were For

Charles H. Driscoll, member of the
School OF Mines freshman class; Miss
Maud Morrill, and Joseph Morrill,,
children of Mr.. NJ. P. Morrill, of Col
den; Miss Cora De France, daughter
OF Judge De France.
The ice was known to be thin, but
was thought to be perfectly safe.
At the time the accident occurred the
party was skating in line and the
concentrated weight proved too much
for the thin ice, which broke and pre-
cipitated the entire party into the wa

where the accident occurred is about

from the nervous shock. their condi-

The dead boy was not seen by any
OF the party after the ice broke, and
it is supposed that he was carried un-

himself.
The news OF the tragedy has caused
tremendous excitement. Scores OF
men dragged the lake. Young Sny-
der was a Golden boy. a graduate OF

Denver, Feb. 21-The League for
Honest Elections last evening issued
the following statement:
ITO the Citizens of Denver: The re-
cent scene In the House of Representa-
tives should stir the soul Of every citi-
zen of Denver. The atten4on OF the
Nation was called to our condition in
a most dramatic manner. If any citi-
zen has had his doubts as to the meth
cd of conducting recent elections in our
city, that doubt must now be removed.
We stand convicted before the people
OF the Nation, q conviction resulting
from plea Of guilty. Never before has
member CT Congress been forced to
reeign his seat because the proof OF
fraud was 30 overwhelming that he
himself was forced to admit it
Shall these conditions continue?
The League for Honest Elections is do
ing all that 1t can to bring them to a
close. We have an organization that
Is permanent, that is becoming more
and more efficient. and a membership
that is growing every day. 1t is thor
oughly on-partisan-our executive
committee being equally divided be-
tween the two leading parties-and 1t
has but the single aim of landing in
the penitentiary every one connected
with election frauds in the city OF
Denver. We will be in the field before,
during and after every election.
I'VE understand that the evidence in
the Shafroth case demonstrated that
1000 to 5000 fraudulent votes were
cast at the election in November. 1902.
Compared with recent elections. that
was q modest performance. That was
only about ten per cent of the total
vote cast.
THE league makes the deliberate
statement that at the recent election
for charter delegates in the city OF
Denver. not less than 10000 fraudulent
or fictitious votes were cast. or little
more than one-third of the total vote.
At the judicial election on November
3rd, almost the same percentage of
fraud prevailed, and at the charter elec-
ton Of September 22d, an equal amount
of fraud was committe. This state
ment is made as the result of careful
canvass of the conditions made before

LEAGUE FOR HONEST ELECTIONS

and after the elections and from the
evidence fathered in recent trials be-
fore Judge johnson.
DO the people know what this
means? 1t means the utter disfran-
chisement of every citizen in Denver
The little band of criminals intrenched
at the City hall can continue in power
forever. They can make or unmake'
charters. control, rob or destroy cor
porations, elevate or ruin individuals
or annihilate property. In one year the
fraudulent votes have gone from ten
per cent. OF the total to thirty-three
and one-third per cent 1t is just as
easy to make It fifty per cent. and out
vote every decent man and woman In
the community. But gang that con-
trolls one-third or one-fourth or ono
fifth of the votes cast can always carry
an election any way 1t desires. as the
honest people divide up between them
selves.
How long will this condition last?
Just as long as the citizens of Denver
remain Indifferent. Just as long as we
think things cannot be made better. Just
as long as our best citizens smile COM
placently. Just as long as We try to
think this cry OF fraud is politics, In
stead of being the truth. Just as long
as we try to cover the sore spots and
hush the evidence, instead of rising up
like men and stamping out the plague.

TO
TAKE COMMAND

st. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-The ap-
pointment OF General KuropatlSin, who
was yesterday relieved of his functions
as minister of war, to the chief COM
mand of the Russian army in the Far
East, was gazetted this morning.
With the possible exception of Cen
eral Dragomiroff. formerly governor
general of Kieff and later member OF
the council of state, General Kuropat-
kin is the most popular man in the
who has fought his way up from the
bottom to be minister of war. he is the
ideal Of the enlisted men. Not one in
the Cars army has seen more fight
ing. and no one can tell story better.
There is never a dull moment in his
company. for he intermingles the hu-
morous incidents of his campaign with
tales OF the self-sacrifice of the men
whom he led, with Skobeleff, over the
parched wastes of Geoktepe, or over
the icy slopes Of Plevna.
No one meeting the short grizzled
warrior in his charming home on the
sunny side of the Moika would guess
the extent OF his power or the burden
of responsibility weighing on his
shoulders. AS minister of war he was
considered just chief. who gave re-
yards and administered punishment
without fear or favor. 1t is small won
der. therefore, that the Russian army
adores him.
The appointment of General Kuro-
patkin to direct command in the field
has been received with enthusiasm.
and his leadership inspires complete
confidence that Russian arms will be
carried to success on land.
General Kuropatkin will be accom-
panied to the front by the Grand
Dukes Boris, Alexis. Nicholas and MI
chael Nikolaievich.
Alexis paid memorably pleasant
visit to the United States when q
young man. His career as high ad-
miral is well known and brilliant, and
he has always surrounded himself with
a notable stan.

London Cancer Hospital AbandOns
Its Radium Experiments.

The news that after a careful trial
the radium treatment for cancer has
been abandoned by the authorities Of
the London Cancer Hospital. removes
the hope that in hat mysterious suo-
stance q, cure has been found for the
most terrible of diseases. 1t has been
found that in sixteen cases no improve
ment has been produced. and the
best that can be said is that in a few
instances there has been an occasional
cessation of pain.
The failure of radium thus appears
to be complete. and it is more mark
ed since several Of the patients treat
ed with it have complained that it has
only aggravated their sufferings. The
authorities, however, appear to en-
terrain greater hope of h Rontgen
rays to the increased use of which a.
n they are applying all their sur
plus funds. 1t has been found in the
case of lupus that the Rontgen and the
Finsen rays work great relief or even
a complete cure; with the Finsen
rays among six hundred patients
treated at Copenhagen for lupus, it is
said there have een only wv per cent
of failures, and those due to faulty
treatment. Though lupus n cancer
are totally different diseases, there is
good reason for hoping that wha.
proves a remedy In the case OF n may
have a good effect on the other even
If it does not work a complete cure.
Steps are now being taken at the
Cancer Hospital to provide lamps which
can be sufficiently cooled to permit OF
their being used for cases of internal
cancer, to which. hitherto. it has not
been possible to apply these new meth
DDS Of treatment. Enough is already
known to show that these new forms
of electricity, when their manipuia-
ton is better understood. promise
place in the physicians hand healing
agents of tn utmost potency.-Boston
