The Pueblo Chieftain is still sore
over losing out In its Legislative fight
last winter and never permits an OPP
portunity to go by without roasting
the assembly. No doubt the outfit
need roasting, or at least many of Its
members for blocking Just legislation.
at the same time the Chieftain which
is apparently published in the inter
ests of Democracy. fails to remember
that for ten or twelve years the Colo
rado general assembly was over
whelmingly Democratic and at each
session bills for the regulation of rail-
roads, inspection of banks and loan
associations, were introduced to be
regularly killed in committee rooms.
The Chieftain can not remember this
far back, however, owing to Its ten.
dency to cater to Tom Patterson.
True, failure of Democratic assem-
blies to pass needed Legislation does
not excuse Republicans, but 1t must
be remembered Republicans did not
have a clear working majority in the
senate, several Republicans working
with the Democrats. The recent ex.
posures in connection with the Fidei'
ity and Denver bank failures show the
imperative necessity OF state bank
examiner. The common people must
have protection from the grafters and
the Republican party will make this
part of its platform a year hence.
The Canon City Clipper, the lead.
ing Democratic paper Of Fremont
county, gives the lie to the Patter'
son twin papers which have been at
tacling Warden Cleghorn. as follows:
The truth of the matter Is as to the
penitentiary, that never In its history
has it been run on a better, safer and
more conservative basis than at the
present time under the present ad'
ministration. Warden Cleghorn is
serving his fourth term and he is rec.
ognized generally and by everyone
who knows anything about the man
aggement OF such institution as one
of the most capable and fairest mind
ed and kindest hearted wardens that
any penitentiary ever had. He at
tends closely to his business at all
times. He Is never seen on the streets
of the town except In connection with
mis- official duties. He is always at
his post, and he holds down with a
steady hand the band Of convicts and
criminals under his charge. Doubt
less he has to punish the more refrac-
tory ones. hut the trouble with him is
he is apt to be too considerate rather
than too harsh in his treatment OF
them"

A CASE INVOLVING
GOULD AND RAMSEY
RECEIVER ASKED FOR LITTLE kA.
NAWHA SYNDICATE.
Allegation Made That the "Antagonis.
tic Attitude" of Gould and
Ramsey Is Hurtful.

Cincinnati, o., Sept. 26.-Application
for the appointment of receiver for
the community of interests known as
the Little. Kanawha syndicate, an or
ganization controlling vast coal lands
and railway interests in West Virginia,
were filed in the United States circuit
court today. At the head of the syndi-
cate Is George j. Could Joseph Ram
sey, 'Jr., and William F. Guy of st.
Louis.
The plaintiff is John S. Jones Of Chi
cago, holder of 100000 worth of stock
in the syndicate.
Judge Richards set October as the
time for the hearing, ana a restraining
order was issued temporarily prevent
ing the three defendants from selling,
contracting to sell, transferring or
parting with" any properties of the
Little Kanawha syndicate. The grounds
set forth in the bill OF complaint are
numerous, among them being several
pertinent ones. 1t is alleged that the
'antagonistic attitude" of Gould and
Ramsey is detrimental to the welfare
Of the syndicate, that an effort is be-
ing made by the defendants that might
result in profit at the expense of the
lesser holders, that Ramsey and Guy
have voted that any two of the three
heads of the syndicate may transact
its business, thus eliminating Gould,
and that the lands are sold at about
one-half of the true value.
The plaintiff takes no side in the
Ramsey-G Gould quarrel, but the action
is brought to protect the plaintiff and
those holders who may be similarly
situated.
1t is alleged in this petition that
s., 900, 900 has been subscribed, of which
Gould put in 100000; Ramsey, $780,
600: Guy, $300,000 James T. Blair,
100000; Edward Fulton, 500, 900, and
others like or smaller amounts. 1t is
alleged that the heavy subscribers have
not paid over 5 per cent of their sub
scriptions; that an inquiry should be
made as to how the money has been
spent; that the managers put $500, 900
in the construction of railway from
GAINESVILLE to the Ohio river, and then
abandoned it when 1t was found that
the new line would not be for the ad-
vantage of other enterprises in which
the managers were engaged; that in
formation, as to the progress Of affairs
has been refused this petitioner.

THE APOTHEOS|S OF
J, D, ROCKEFELLER
THE OIL MAeNATE SHED TEARS
.. OF JOY d.
When Four Hundred Business Men,
Manufacturers and Bankers Made
Him a Friendly Visit.

Cleveland O., Sept. 26.-Four hun
dred representative business men, man
ufacturers and bankers stormed the
heights at Forest Hill this afternoon to
pay homage to John D. Rockefeller.
They swept down the barriers which
wealth and position have built around
the wealthiest man in the world and
joined with him in the celebration OF
the fifty-second anniversary of his ar
rival in Cleveland-of his start in life.
The affair was informal, and yet the
message Of good will, Of respect and
best wishes for the future were con-
veyed to him with such sincerity as
to move him TO tears.
Attorney Andrew Squire spoke the
hope that Mr.. Rockefeller would live
long in Cleveland and in the world;
that the people might profit by his
magnanimity and generosity toward
educational and Christian institutions,
and that Cleveland might continue to
rejoice in the possession as citizen of
the foremost man in the world.
To these words Mr.. Rockefeller re-
piled In voice broken by his emo
tions. His eyes slowly filled with tears
and he walked uneasily forward and
backward before the crowd. His voice
came at last, but il was strained and
forced. He told an incident of one of
his first friends he made when he
came to Cleveland-Stillman Witt
and how he offered all his personal
money and property to support the
young man then embarking in the oil
business, while other men of means
refused to assist him. From this rem
iniscent strain he came to one of ad-
vice.
Don't think that money is all there
is in this world, for it is not" he said,
slowly, and clearly enunciating his
words. you have other things to
which you may devote your minds and
some of your attention, things that
will make your last days enjoyable to
you, days such as | am enjoying now
here in Cleveland among you, my
friends.
For your coming to me this day,
thank you ALL"
From this mournful train of thoughts
there was quick reaction to the hu-
morous, and the oil king became witty
as he faced half dozen photograph
ers who had lined the crowd upon the
side of the hill and took pot shots at
it. Mr.. Rockefeller also called out
threats of dire vengeance If the visitors
did not stay for lunch.

IN THE MORNING HE
WAS AN OFFICE BOY
Working for 50 or se a week--In the
Afternoon He Was Sir John
Edwards.

New York, Sept 26.--This morning
an Office boy, content and even happy
with his wage of IS or Sc a week; to-
night, Sir John Edwards of Cardiff,
Wales, sole heir of the title and for
tune of the Sir John who died few
weeks ago. This is the story of John
McGarry, Office boy with the Town and
Country magazine at No. 289 Fourth
avenue. His family came here from
Wales years ago and settled in Maine.
John McGarry is Is years of age, and
has lived, since leaving his Maine home
three years ago, with his uncle in this
city. The fortune he has inherited is
estimated at 100000.
So little difference had prosperity
and the prospect of adulation and opu-
lence made, in John McGarry that until
he received permission to return to his
home this afternoon he still obediently
obeyed the commands of his superior

THE SIXTH VICTIM
OF THE PENNSYLVANIA WRECK
AT PAOLI.
At coroner's Inquest Tower Operator
Declares Accident Could Not
Have Been Avoided.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 26.-Death
came today to another victim of the
wreck ON the Pennsylvania railroad at
Paoli yesterday afternoon, when the
eastbound St. Louis limited crashed
into the rear of local train. The
name of the sixth victim of the colli-
sion is Noble Redmond. He died at
the Presbyterian hospital. The injured
are doing well under the circumstances.
A searching investigation is being
made by the railroad officers to ascer-
tain the exact cause of the wreck, but
so far they have not been able to place
the blame. ttl
Employees about the Paoli Station
say that turning the private car and
attaching it to the local train made
the local late in leaving the yards on
the east side of the tracks, and that 1t
had not time to clear the crossover
switch before the speeding locomotive
of the limited crashed into it.
In the inquest. which began this af-
ternoon, Harry Stevens, the tower op-
orator, declared "the wreck could not
have been helped"
"The real cause of the accident" the
witness continued, was that the, rear
wheels of the Atterbury private car
were only six feet away from the
switch and were resting against the
guard rail The switch works auto
matically. Had not the rear wheels
been on the guard rail 1t would have
been thrown properly AS it was, the
automatic arrangement could not throw
the weight of the car. In my opinion
It is just such an accident as is un-
avoidable. The engineer of the ex-
press was running on cautionary sig
nal and was not going fast"

SUIT CASE MYSTERY
Only One Tangible Clue Discovered
hN Pnlice


Boston, Mass, Sept. 26.-Deputy
Chief Neal of the state police force
said today that thus far the only real
tangible clue that had been discovered
in the suit case mystery was the blond
hair, and that he is looking for miss
ing girl of light complexion who dis
appeared from her home in the fash
ionable Back Bay quarter several
weeks ago. There was a report to-
night that the suicide of a Back Bay
physician might be instrumental in
solving the mystery of the girl mur-
der. But the police insist that this has
nothing to do with the matter.
The police are in possession of the
name of the man who originally owned
the suit case in which was found the
torso of a girl adritt in Winthrop Bay.
He sold it three months ago to a man
whose record is now under investiga-
tion by the authorities.
A diver spent about four hours to.
day searching the bottom of the harbor
near Winthrop for the remaining por-
tions of the body, but without success.
His search will be resumed tomorrow.

SMALL CONCERNS SWALLOWED
UP BY THE BIG COMPANIES
People Who Think They Are Paying
For Insurance Find They are
Not Getting It.
A SORT OF eRosIvE PROCESS.
One Days Developments in Judge
kohlsaat's Court Were Of Con-
siderable importance.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Investigation Of
the affairs of the Western Life Indemn-
ity Co. by a state examiner today
brought to light facts showing how
claims Of thousands of policy holders
in assessment companies have been
practically wiped out through company
manipulation. Examiner Lucius Pfouts
discovered that no fewer than 2S small
insurance companies have terminated
their existence by merging into the
Western Life Indemnity. This num-
bers does not include all, but it was as
close to the real figures as the manage
ment of the company could recollect.
THAT MEANS" said the examiner,
that the policy holders of the original
companies have gone through a sort
of erosive process, which leaves them
practically uninsured, although they
are still paying their premiums and
have been doing so for years. This
condition is not particularly the fault
of the Western Life Indemnity or other
absorbing companies, for the absorp-
tion is done according to law"
Other development in the investiga-
tion today were:
Judge kohlsaat refused the defend
ants-the officials of the Indemnity
company-continuan in the hearing
on the petition of the three Nebraska
policy holders for an injunction to pre-
vent the sale Of the Western Life In
demnity Co. to the Security Life &
Annuity Co. of America.
Attorney Isaac Mayer argued against
the demurrer to the bill, attempting to
show lack of jurisdiction by the court
and failure on the part of the COM
plainants to properly plead their charge
of fraud and mismanagement. q"
