The fact that Miss Harcourt was armed

There are a few of the girls who

DEPEW WILL EXPLAIN
RETURNS HOME TO FACE MUSIC.
Comes Three Thousand Miles to An
swer Charges Against Him-Will
Tell All About His Connection
With the Equitable.

New York. July 30.-United States
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew arrived
last night from Southampton. He
freely admitted that his pleasure trip
had been cut short.
Il have come back to the storm cen
ter" he said. "a man cannot fight his
battles 5000 miles from home, and as
charges rejecting upon me have been
made, l have come back to state my
side of the case.
Tonight l have nothing to say
about the Equitable. or the loan made
to the Depew Improvement Company.
or as to my resignation. AS soon as
can go over the papers in these vari
Gus matters and get the official news
as to what has actually transpired in
my absence. 1 will give out a state
ment that will cover all these matters
fully. AT the proper time l shall give
to the public all the information
have, so that they may know as much
as did about the Equitable and tran
sactions in which | was Interested"
Regarding the Depew Investment
Company, Senator Depew said:
81 am only minor stockholder. This
company was started five years before
L was connected with it. They used
my name at first without getting my
consent. Later l came into the COM
pany with small holdings"
When told of the election of Paul
Morton to the presidency of the Equit-
able, the senator said the choice was
admirable and that it pleased him
highly. Regarding the Equitable and
Its future, he said:
"In years time the Equitable will
be stronger than ever and be doing
even larger business than before.
The Equitable is all right financially,
and after this disturbance blows over
1t will be the same as before, the
strongest and best insurance company
in this country
Senator Depew frankly discussed
"Fads and Fancies." He said that
he was a subscriber, and had been so
for about four years.
Il subscribed for the book" he said.
because liked the work. 1t was one
of the most beautiful works | have
ever seen. 1t cost me for my subscrip-
tion somewhere around 81 300
He denied that he had been threat
ened with the publication of any scan
dalous or undesirable stories about
him If he did not subscribe.
When asked If the work had been
represented as something to help the
boys along" he replied: 1T might
have been. Really. l cannot remem-
ber that far back; you know they
usually do. 1t costs me $4,000 year
to help the boys along. l find it hard
to refuse my friends at all times, and
that is why have to speak at so many
dinners"

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, July 81.
With an abnormally light run OF cat
tie last week at all markets. prices
failed to show the Improvement that
was expected. Good choice beef is
little higher than it was a week ago,
but the common and medium quality
stuff is just about the same, with feed
ers and stockers showing decline OF
about 10 to 15c. The demand was very
little improved last week over the
week before, and the light run alone
was responsible for what advance was
made. Receipts here were somewhat
heavier than the week before, but Of
ferings lighter. as several loads were
billed through to other points and did
not go on sale here. Good steers and
COWS. the kind on which the advance
was made at eastern markets, were
conspicuous by their absence all week.
and there was nothing on sale to test
the strength of the market.
Hog receipts were liberal last week.
The demand was also good and all sold
readily. There was some fluctuation
in prices from day to day. but values
at the close are right around where
they were at the opening. Tops are
selling up to s5.55, with the range
down to s5.40. Packers are pretty well
loaded up with hogs Just now, and
while the demand will be fair this
week, it will not be heavy.
The sheep market continues to go
lower Eastern markets reported
good big decline every day during the
first of the week, but later the market
has been firmer. Prices, however, are
still lower than week ago. There is
a good demand for feeders, buyers be
ing unable to fill their ORDERS Feeder
sheep and lambs are fully steady with
the close a week ago.

Dr. Ben q. Williams met with a
painful accident Friday evening, and
one that terminated fortunately, con.
sidering the possibilities for serious
happenings that II contained.
The doctors spirited driving horse
broke from the hitcfing post at his
residence, the Sheppard cottage on
North Third street. The doctor Was

The accident occurred about seven

a ride with his wife and daughter,and
ordered the horse sent Mp from the
barn. The animal was tied at the

girl had climbed into the seat TO await
the coming Of the others The horse

The little daughter showed rare
presence Of mind In staying In the

street. Had she Jumped, as most
children would have done, she would
have been probably badly injured and
possibly killed. The child was some
frightened but was more concerned
about her fathers hurts than about
herself,
