Murderer of John Fox Resigns Him.
self to Sentence of Death-Re-
mains Calm and Stole.

Trinidad, Colo, July 6.-Joe john
son, who is to be hanged during the
week of September 10 for the murder
of John Fox, has apparently lost all
hope, according to reports which
come from the state penitentiary at
Canon City. He does nothing but
smoke cigarettes all day, having no de,
sire to either read or talk and he has
thoroughly reconciled himself to his
fate. The guards are inclined to be.
lieve that Johnson will maintain his
nerve on the scaffold.
Johnson will probabl be the first
murderer hung in many years without
having had at least one reprieve. The
circumstances of his crime were such
as to leave no room for the advance
ment of any extenuating arguments in
his favor and he will probably step on
the fatal death trap without any elem.
ency in the way of delay, having been
extended him. The only companion he
now has in the condemned row is Pat
Brennan, the Leadville man who dies
this month for the murder of his
sweetheart in Leadville.

Denver, Colo, July 6.-The seventh
International convention of the Ep'
worth League, opened today with three
simultaneous meetings which taxed to
The utmost the capacity of the Coli
scum Hall, the Trinity Methodist Epis-
copal Church and the Central Presby-
terian Church, the largest auditoriums
in this city. Fully 10000 delegates
and visitors have been attracted to
Denver by the convention. With but a
single change the program was car
ried out to the letter today. Bishop
Isaac joyce, of Minneapolis, was slat-
ed to preside over one of the meetings
but owing to sickness he was unable
10 be present. The morning sessions
were taken up with the addresses of
welcome and the responses.
Bishop Joyce's Condition Almost Hope
less.
Denver, July 6.-There is general
regret expressed by all Epworth Leag-
uers over the sudden illness of Bishop
Isaac W. Joyce of Minneapolis. He is
a man very generally loved and ad-
mired by young people. One of his
characteristic traits has always been
shown in helping struggling and small
churches. Where many men of equal
prominence would have sought to be
heard from the pulpits of the big
places, Bishop Joyce has sought out
and given his time to the little ones.
In this way he has become acquaint-
ed with vast number of individual
and obscure workers in the church,
and endeared himself TO them.
Bishop Henry w. Warren wired TO
yesterday to find out
what the actual condition of Bishop
Joyce was, and last evening had in re-
ply mo change for the better. Con-

Denver, July 6-The policy of Civ
ing the name Epworth freely led the
Methodists of Denver to decide that
one of the giant peaks of the state
should bear the name of the little town
where the founder of Methodism was
born. So a peak was selected on the
Moffat road to be called Mount Ep.
1t will receive formal dedica-
ton Saturday when the Moffat road
excursion reaches that point. Thou
sands of Epworth Leaguers will go to
Rollins pass early this week to avoid
the rush of Saturday, but on that day
the big convention will adjourn for the
purpose of going there and dedicating
the lofty monument to Methodism.
Yesterday hundreds of delegates
went to Arrow Head and to Rollins
pass, viewing Mount Epworth. 1t was
urged by many that the committee
should bury in the base of the natural
of John Wesley's birthplace
4 history of his life and an account of
The church he established.
