DESIGNATED BY THE COURT.
THE SUPREME COURT WILL
HEAR ARGUMENTS ON THE
QUESTION THIS AFTERNOON.
GOVERNOR ADAMS ACTION is
THE SENSATION OF THE DAY IN
POLITICAL CIRCLES. THE GOV
ERNoR SHARES THE COMIC
TIoNS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER
DEMOCRATS, WHO HAVE GIVEN
THE SUBJECT THOUGHT, THAT
THERE Is A GIGANTIC CORPORA
TION CONSPIRACY HIDDEN IN
THE JUGGLING OF DENVER'S
VOTE. HE HAS MADE UP HIS
MIND THAT NOT ONLY WAS HE
ELECTED GOVERNOR OF THIS
STATE, But, AS A CITIZEN, HE Is
INTERESTED IN THE PUNISH
MENT OF ELECTION CRIMES AND
BELIEVES THAT THE PUBLIC
WELFARE WILL BE BEST CON-
SERVED BY SECURING A THOR
OUCH INVESTIGATION OF EVERY
BON THAT WAS USED IN THE
LATE ELECTION IN THE CITY OF
DENVER.

II BELIEVE If THE FRAUDS IN
OUTSIDE COUNTIES COULD BE
UNEARTHED MY HONEST MA
JORITY WOULD AMOUNT TO TO-
900; But WANT NO TAINTED
SEAT. 1T is OF FAR GREATER
IMPORTANCE THAT EXTENSIVE
ELECTION FRAUDS SHOULD BE
UNEARTHED AND PUNISHED

THAT NEARLY THIRTY MEN ARE

TEMPT OF COURT, But REALLY
CHARGED WITH ELECTION
CRIMES. If THEY ARE OF THE
CHARACTER REPORTED, 1 FEEL
ASSURED THAT THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF MEN AT LIBERTY
FAR MORE DESERVING OF JAIL
THAN THOSE INCARCERATED
FEEL THAT SOME OF THOSE IN

There was some interesting testimony
given today. Just after the trial was re-
sumed Willard p. Tanner, who Is as
sociated with Franklin p. Owen, asked
Judge Wilbur TO direct verdict for the
defendant owing to a variance between
the proof and the Indictment The in
dictment charged the larceny OF 300
ounces of silver. Mr.. Tanner said and the
evidence showed what was really taken

specific value OF their own. lie argued
that under the rules OF criminal pleading
II was the states duty 10 have accurately
described the property stolen
Judge Wilbur simply said You may
state your case 10 the jury" Mr.. Tanner
asked for a ruling and an exception, and
the exception was allowed
Ihen there came a statement OF the
case to the jury. Mr.. owen saying II
would be shown that the prisoner did
not steal the silver, az charged, and also
that the chief witness for the state was
a man not worthy Of belief
TWO sons Of Willis Horton were called
One who IS in the employ OF the Rhode
island company, swore that the prisoner

about his fathers reputation ne said

Willis Horton was the chief witness. for
the state. and II is claimed went into the

Mrs Horton said she was not sorry.
Experts were called who declared II was
not probable that the machine which cut

SOLVING
RANDOLPH
FATALITY

Randolph Mass. March 2S.--The au-
thoritfes had not found any positive owl
dence early this morning 10 aid them In
solving the mystery surrounding the death
OF Parker Dexter, the l1-year- son of
Edward J. T. Dexter, engineer OF the
Randolph pumping station. who was shot
at his home yesterday. IT has been de-
cded TO hold an autopsy on the body OF
the boy FOR the purpose OF determining
the calibre OF the revolver, from which
the fatal bullet was fred.
Tho police are reluctant 10 accept a
theory that the Dexter house was entered
by two burglars. ono OF whom did the
shooting, nor does IL appear plausible
that an insane man wns permitted by a
compa Mon 10 use n revolver. In short
the investigation Is being conducted with
the idea of unearthing proof that the
house was not visited by strangers. but
that the shooting was the outcome OF
the boy playing with a revolver. No
one was in the dwelling except the two
boys, as far as IL can be ascerta med. The
police expect 10 solve the mystery within
- hours.
Harris Dexter. the 14-year-old brother
OF the Victim maintains that an unkoown
man. accompanied by q companion, en-
tered the house while the boys were alone
at dinner and shot Parker.

ADVICE TO

profound belief that no race In ancient

zone OF the most important sources OF
protection that any race OF people can
have is their usefulness 10 the community
in which they dwell. Service is the Sc
cret OF sovereignty. Nine tenths Of the
Intelligent members OF our race will
agree that he great body OF our people
must reside In the South. and that they
should be encouraged 10 do So. Since
this is agreed on Il naturally follows that
the negro should, in every prajseworthy
cultivate the friendship and the
sy mpathy OF the people by whose side he
Is TO live. Any other course would be
suicidal. unnatural and illogical.
I'm saying this do not mean that we
should submit tamely to injustice. No
one respects a strong. honest character
more than the Southern white man. AT
the present time the race needs every
white friend it can command. whether
he resides I'm the South or in the North
