Denver-Edwin n. Johnson, former
president and manager of the defunct
in the state penitentiary. The Fidelity
company failed In July, 1904, and when
1t was found how complete the wreck
was the officers were indicted on vari-
Gus counts. Among the things charged
previous six months. Under the vari-
Gus counts he was arraigned for trial
at three different times in the last
year, but q conviction was not secured
Twice the jury failed to agree. In the
latter part OF August, he was tried in
the West Side court before Judge Gar
rigues Of the Greeley district on the
above charge.

the case for the people. The pros

that the company had securities
worth $1,307, ,33O24, when as fact
such securities were approximately
$769,2S1.S6; that the institution was
in fact more than half million
dollars below its reported standing.
The jury was out less than an hour,
and within two hours after rendering a
verdict of guilty, the court had denied
motion for a new trial and sentenced
the prisoner to term of from two to
four years in the penitentiary.
A stay of execution was granted by
the trial judge pending an application
before the Supreme Court for super
sedeas. The motion for writ Of super
sedeas WAS argued two weeks ago and
taken under advisement. The chief ar
gument OF the attorneys in seeking the
writ was that the trial court erred in
instructing the judge regarding the
question of the truth or falsity of the
report.
Chief Justice Gabbert Monday morn.
Ing announced to the clerk OF the court
that the justices had denied the appli-
cation, and that the attorneys we're no.

handed down, but will be later lmme,

QUEST OF NORTH POLE.
Plan for international Direction Of
Polar Exploration.


1t is practically certain that within
comparatively short time some ex-
plorer will reach the North Pole.
In 1899 Captain Cagni OF the Italian
expedition was within 236 miles of the
most northern extremity of the earth
and 1t is quite probable that some
member of an expedition now in the
arctic regions will make new record
even If the pole itself is not reached.
An interesting development in the
plan Of exploration has just been set
forth by the International Congress of
Economic Expansion in It's convention
at Mons, Belgium, which adopted mo-
ton approving plan for international
direction of polar exploration and ask
Ing Belgium to take the initiative in
inviting the cooperation of other ma
tions.
The discovery OF the North Pole is
now matter Of systematic and per-
sistent effort, rather than of bold cour-
age or good luck. Or, to say the same
thing In other words, the discovery is
largely question Of the amount OF
cab available for this purpose. II the
amount that has already been spent
for this purpose without success were
now available in lump sum, there
The Holly chieftain., 1905-10-20

is little doubt that the pole could be
discovered. Any government of a
| first-class power could send an expedi-
tion to the pole, if it were worth the
cost. 1t is not probable that there are
| any difficulties or dangers to be en-
countered in the 236 miles remaining
that are any greater than those that
have been already successfully over
come.
The old myths and terrors have no
place in scientific geography and it
would be transcendent surprise IL
any phenomenal features were found at
or near the pole.
The problem is largely one of com
missariat. II is a question OF supply
ing the provisions, clothing and other
supplies necessary to keep men alive
for the time nee essary to go from the
northern limit OF ice free navigation
to the pole.
Secondarily, 1t is problem OF trans
portation, for the supplies and for the
explorers. Given an unlimited treas
ury, and a series of food stations could
be established and regular traffic main
tained between them as far as the pole
itself
The United States government could,
II 1t desired to do SO. establish a mail
route to the North Pole, and keep It
going with reasonable regularity and.
frequency.

Remarkable Submarine Boat.

1t is now believed that John P. Hol-
land, the inventor of successful
type of submarine boats, has improved
upon his invention to such an extent
that the submarines thus far built by
the nations will have to be consigned
to the scrap heap and be replaced by
the new boat which has stood num-
Der Of remarkable tests. The new boat
attains an average speed of twenty
knots when submerged and can in case
OF necessity make thirty knots an
hour, thus exceeding the speed,of the
fastest cruiser. The old boats did well
to attain a speed of nine knots an hour
and will from now on be regarded more
as curiosity than of any value in &C.

kan.a..colorado suit Delayed.

Washington.-The United States Su-
preme Court on Monday fixed the first
Tuesday in next October for argument
of the famous Kansas-C Colorado suit,
thereby postponing action at least one
year, but Mondays action makes this
case first to be taken up at the next
term of court, giving 1t right OF way
over other business.
Meanwhile Kansas is required to file
It's briefs within the next three months.
Colorado is given six months from
date, and the United States, which
acts as intervenor. has nine months In
which to submit its briefs. The date
fixed by the court is believed to be sat

accomplished by immediate action.
They will be able, within six months,

Unprecedented Prosperity

Unprecedented prosperity is the
present lot of the United States Of
America, says the Chicago Record
Herald. A greater prosperity is the
promise Of the immediate future. The
year 1905, just turned into its last
third, already has smashed records
right and left. Everything that goes to
make up business and Industrial life
is on the boom, and the barometers of
finance, of commerce, of agriculture,
of building and of manufacturing, one
and all indicate the continuance of fair
skies. There isn't cloud visible any
where on the horizon.
Business has. been forging ahead by
such leaps and bounds that the car
riers have beer caught short of equip
ment with which to move products.
Railroads, striving to do the best
within their power, have bewildered

OTTO MEARs REDIvIvus.
Wizard Of the San Juan PIueked Vie.
tory From Defeat.

Denver-Otto Mears was in town
yesterday. says the Denver Republican,
and made the important political an
nouncement that he had taken up his
legal residence at Silverton and would
henceforth vote in that city and be a
part of the Silvery San Juan delega-
ton to the Republican gatherings.
Great is Mr.. Mears! II the state capi-
tol, which he helped to build, were to
fall upon him he would escape injury.
Mr.. Mears is on the highroad to for
tune again and this time he says he
will take care of 1t. He has made a
good many millions in his day. A year
or 80 ago Mr.. Mears was a bit down
on his luck; now he is away up in
Mount Sneffels. All of the Denver liti-
cations against him have been settled
and his Silverton road is doing an enor.
nous business. There is no longer any
talk of taking the Mears window from
the legislative halls.
"Thirty-five years ago l went and
blazed the trails. built wagon roads
and railroads, and now I'm back again
with my family" he said. Yes, I've
had my ups and downs; made money,
spent it and heigho! knew what in.
gratitude means; but never lost heart
and now am on top again with the
best paying railroad in the country.
And never lost my faith in silverton."

Mi,, Roosevelt WIN Fay putie..

Washington-Secret Shaw and the
collector of customs of San Francisco
have been worrying for several weeks
on account of the presents which Miss
Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the Presi-
dent, has received during her trip to
the Philippines, China, Japan and
Corea, the value of which has been
estimated by some newspapers as high
as 100000. The secretary finally took
his burden to the President and told
him about IT, There is only one thing
to do," replied Mr. Roosevelt. THAT is
to treat my daughters baggage as you
would the baggage of any other private
person. She will pay duty on every.
thing that is dutiable"

ARIZONA STATEHOOD.
II 10 strongly Favored by Visiting
Conanoesmen.


Prescott, Ariz.-The congressional
statehood party divided to-day. Con
gressman Tawney and several others
went to the Crown King mines. Others
made side trips In carriages through
the mountains to the granite Quarries
and Whipple barracks to inspect new
buildings In progress. The post is be-
ing greatly enlarged and the progress
Of the work was examined.
Congressman in the party express
themselves as follows:
Adams of Wisconsin:
Il voted once for jointure becaune
knew no better. know better now. l
am an Arizona captive and surrender
completely. l am against jointure."
ooebel Of Cincinnati:
"Arixona's schools should alone en-
title her to become a state, II nothing
more, but she has q great deal more.
She deserves statehood now. and until
she gets 1t she will find a warm advo-
cate and friend in'me."
Minor of Wisconsin:
I'VE are with Arizona. Fasteners
have an idea all the civilization is east
OF the Mississippi river, but II they
could only visit Arizona they would
change their opinion. 1t would be
crime to link Arizona TO New Mexico,
although the latter is great territory
also. Both are large enough. Interests
30 varied and people SO different
should remain separate"
Tawney of Minnesota:
Were the members of Congress to
come here and see Arizona. doubt II
'four-fifths who have voted for jointure
would do SO after visit. l now know
conditions and believe my next vote
will meet with Arizona's approval"
Madden of Chicago:
1.-THE day will come when Arizona
will get single statehood. II can help,
l will. l am astonished at the wonders
Of the territory. its agricultural inter-
ests. mining, farming. civilization and
educational facilities. No better schools
or higher state Of civilization exists in
the entire country"
Davis of Minnesota:
'If sSenator Beveridge's report on
| Arizona was true, the territory has
changed wonderfully in short time.
am from the West and l will always
| vote with the West, and do not want
to see any more such big states as
Texas. believe Arizona now fit to be-
come q state"
Maynard of Virginia:
II am the only Democrat In the
party. II it were not for family ties
home associations and native love for
dear old Virginia, would sell my
ticket and stay in Arizona, and If
ever move 1t will be to this territory
which will soon be a state, and 1t de
serves it,"
Marshall of South Dakota:
Il believe 1t wrong to both terri
tories to even breathe the idea Of
jointure. / voted for it once, but
have revised my Ideas and am going
home and preach the true gospel OF
rich and great Arizona to my col
leagues. No higher state Of civiliza
ton. no better schools, no more patri
otic people live in the United States
| than these"

Qualities That Will Win.

The policy concerning the Panama
canal enunciated by the President to
the consulting board of engineers is
wholly commendable. In brief, it is to
construct the best canal in the shortest
time. The two supremely desirable
qualities are promptness and efficiency,
and they are coordinate Neither is to
be sacrificed to the other, and If not to
the other. certainly not to any or all
other considerations in the world

Topo's Ancestral Worship.

Tokio.-The news that Admiral Togo
worshiped at Ise temple is creating a
profound impression. 1t is believed
that his act will furnish lasting ex-
ample in national religious education
and that ancestral worship will be
given fresh stimulus, especially in
the army and navy. Admiral Togo has
shown his implicit faith in what he
said in his report of the great naval
battle when he attributed the Japa-
nese victory to the protection OF the
spirits of imperial ancestors.
