New York. March a.-The most in

engineers, to which the motormen be-
long, insists that the strike is in VIC.
lation OF the laws Of the national union
and insists that the men either return
to work or suffer expulsion from the
organization. other labor readers
similarly express themselves. The
strike leaders, however. say that the
men will not return to work until the.
have carried their point and that the
local unions have sufficient money ia
carry on the strike without any aid
from the national body. The appear
ances at strike headquarters tonight
indicate that some Of the men are
ready TO give up the fight and. indeed
some of the old men have already
taken their places on the trains.

proving. Tonight the executive com
mittee OF the joint bodies Of the ANAL.
gamated brotherhood issue a state.

DEMOCRATS CONFER
TWO FACTIONS DO NOT AGREE.

Conference Favors Immediate Munlci
pal Ownership-State Central Com
mittee Would Leave It to Lsca
Decision.
Denver. June 21.-A Joint confer.
ence of members of the Democratic
State Central Committee and the Dem
ocratic leaders not directly connected
with the state organization as com
mitteemen met here Monday in pur,
suance of a call issued some weeks
ago by United States Senators Teller
and Patterson, Former Governor
Adams and Charles s. Thomas and the
other leading party men, for the pur
pose of securing an expression of opin
lon on the issues of the day affecting
the state of Colorado. On entering the
conference the members of the state
committee announced that they did SO
only as individuals.
The conference instructed a com
mittee. headed by Senator Patterson,
to prepare an address to the people
Of Colorado. This was done and the
conference later heard it read and in
dorsed it as platform Of principles
'or the Colorado Democracy.
This address, after referring to the
conspiracy which resulted in the I'M
seating of Alva Adams from the gov
ernorship and installing man "who
never had been nominated for the
place and for whom a single vote had
not been cast" warns the people that
the corporations have deliberately
determined to rule the state, regard
less of what the majority of legal
voters may decide"
The address further says:
I'VE stand for municipal ownership
Of all public utilities. The claim that
this is question local to each town
and city is given the lie by the events
Of the past few years in Colorado"
Later the state central committee
held a meeting and adopted the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, by the Democratic State
Central Committee, That while we
favor municipal ownership of public
utilities. the time and manner of ac-
quiring them should be left to the vari-
ous towns and cities Interested"
A banquet to the Democratic confer
ence was held at the Savoy hotel Mon
day night and was attended by more
than 300 Democrats from all sections
of the state. Samuel Belford of Den
yer acted as toastmaster. The program
of toasts was as follows:

COMM ENDS MORTON
IN COMPLIMENTARY LETTERS.

President Roosevelt Praises Former
Railroad Official, Secretary of the
Navy and Chairman Of Equitable
Life.
Washington. June 22.-President
Roosevelt has taken occasion to ex-
press himself in most positive terms
complimentary of the integrity and
ability of Paul Morton. former vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad Company, and now
concluding his duties as secretary of
the navy that he may assume the
Craftsmanship of the board of directors
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of New York.
These expressions are contained in
two letters, one addressed to the at
torney general and the other to Mr..
Morton. The letters were made pub
lie yesterday by the administration
together with several others, which,
taken together, show the precise point
of difference between the Department
of Justice and Messrs. Harmon and
Judson, who recently resigned as spe-
cial counsel for the government in the
rebate case involving the Santa Fe
road and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company.
The special counsel wished to bring
contempt proceedings against the Of
ficers of the road. which would have
included Mr.. Morton. Their position
was that the testimony adduced before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
established violation of the court
order of March 25, 1902, restraining
the company from executing any
agreement to transport interstate traf.
tic at rates lower than the published
tariff of the road. This testimony,
they ccntended, constituted a pNma
facie case against the officers of the
road and the only way to ascertain
their guilt or innocence was through
contempt proceedings.
Attorney General Moody opposed
bringing the contempt proceedings on
the ground that while the evidence
before the commission might show a
violation of the injunction by the road,
it contained nothing charging any Off
Ger of the company with such viola
tion. President Roosevelt took the
same view.
Both the president and the attorney
general agreed that contempt pro-
ceedings should be instituted imper-
sonally against the corporation; in
both the Colorado Fuel and the Inter
national Harvester case. The latter
case, the president says, stands ex-
actly on the same footing and involves
practically all of the Western roads.

Important Baseball Decision.

New York. June 21.-Persons who
attend baseball games do SO at their
own risk, according to decision Just
handed down by Civil Justice Nc
Laughlin in damage suit brought by
= young woman who claims to have
been injured by foul ball. The COM
plainant was an enthusiastic admirer
Of the game. On September 8, 1904,
while spectator at the contest on the
Polo grounds between the New York
National Club and the Bostons, foul
ball smote her on the nose. The doc
tors saved her from permanent dis
figurement, but suit was brought for
damages in the sum of $500 against
the New York clubs management.
Tho complainant's counsel asserted
that the management was responsible
for everything that went wrong on
the ground and that the woman's in
jury was clearly due to the lack Of
proper safeguards. The Justice, how
ever, ruled that those who entered the
grounds did SO at their own risk.

BOWEN REMOVED.
President Orders Dismissal Of Minis.
ter to Venezuela.

Washington, June 21-The dismissal
Of Herbert w. Bowen. for some years
United States minister to Venezuela,
and the exoneration of Assistant Sec
retary Of State Francis B. Loomis of
the allegations brought against him
by Mr.. Bowen, are the outcome of the
Loomis-Bowen controversy which has
attracted wide attention for many
months past.
This disposition of the case is made
by President Roosevelt in letter ad-
dressed to Secretary Taft, made pub.
lie last night. approving Mr.. Taft's re.
port on his findings and conclusions
in the case. The President scatbingly
arraigns Minister Bowen declaring
that his conduct Is especially repre-
hensible;" that Mr.. Bowen asked one
OF his witnesses to enter the employ
OF a certain company for the purpose,
In plain words, of stealing" docu-
ments which he hoped might incrim-
mate Mr.. Loomis, and that Mr.. Bowen
has evidently for many months, in
deed for the last two years, devoted
hlmself' to hunting up scandal and
gossip until 1t became a monomania
and caused him "to show complete
disloyalty" to the company repre-
sented. The President says he had
hoped to promote Mr.. Bowen, as dur.
ing much Of his service he had done
good work, but that his usefulness in
the diplomatic service is now at an
end. The President adds that he would
direct that Mr. Bowen's resignation
be requested. but for his statement
that ne would consider a resignation
an admission Of misconduct, and the
dismissal is therefore ordered
