MOffat OF Denver Is
Loyal in His.
Friendship.
Saves $t5O,OOO for Daugh-
ter Of His Deceased
Partner.
Check for This Sum to Reach Her in
a Few Days at Her Home in
San Diego.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

DENVER, April 22.-Within a few
days Mrs. Fannie Chaffee Grant OF
San Diego. Cal. will receive a check
for s15O.0O0. representing her equity
in the Kittredge building In this city.
and when she acknowledges receipt OF
the check she will pay a tribute OF
gratitude to David H. Monat, to
whom she is indebted for every penny
that comes to her from the sale OF the
property, which yesterday brought
100000.
Years ago David Fl. Moffat and Je-
rome B. Chaffee, once Senator from
Colorado. formed a partnership. They
organized the First National Bank
and Senator Chaffee was at one time
president of the institution. Senator
Chaffee invested heavily in real estate
and included in his holdings the Kilt
redge building Years after the death
OF Senator Chaffee came the panic of
1893 The estate had suffered re-
verses and the Kittredge block was
about to be sacrificed. A mortgage
for $150,00O was held against the
block by the Northwestern Insurance
Company and 1t made a demand for
the money, under threat OF foreclo-
sure
MOFFAT TO THE RESCUE
David H. Moffat learned of the dis
aster about to overtake the daughter
of his late partner. He assured Mrs
Grant that her heritage would be
saved to her. The financial agent OF
the Northwestern was called in and.
after few preliminaries, the neces-
sary papers were signed and the
amount of the trust deed was paid
over to him.
tereSt of Mrs. Grant the title to the
property was for period vested in
Fred @. Moffat. After all danger OF
loss had passed the property was re-
transferred to Mrs. Grant and was in
her name until sold TO Bennett & My
erS yesterday.
If the block had been sold during
the panic under foreclosure proceed
ings there is little doubt that it would
have brought hardly more than the
incumbrance- Moffat realized this.
and, that the daughter of his old part
ner might be protected in her birth
right, he placed his wealth at her dis
posal, although it was then a period
when he was made the object of more
demands from friends and business as
sociates than any man in the State
REFUSES EXECUTORS FEES.
In recalling this story. old business
friends of Moffat and Chaffee are re-
minded Of the action OF MOffaL when
the will of Senator Chaffee was be-
ing executed MOffat was named as
executor under the will and in set
Ting the estate of Senator Chaffee
values to the amount. of more than
$1,000, 900 passed through his hands.
When MofSat made his final statement
of his stewardship and asked to be dis
charged, the court suggested that he
had failed to present his bill for execu-
tors fees against the estate. MOffatS
reply was characteristic.
I'VE were partners on the square
when he was alive he said; and we
will be partners on the square now
that he is dead"
The executors fees, reckoned on
per cent basis, which is allowed by
law. would have given Moffat more
than $4,000.

FANATICS TAKE TO HILLS
AND TORTURE THEMSELVES
Band of One Hundred Penitents Ini-
tate Crucifxion ut Colony in
Colorado

TRINIDAD, Colo, April 22.-At
Longs Canyon there is a penitents.
colony of 100 persons. Their torture
ceremony was witnessed to-day by a
few persons who hid themselves be-
hind rocks and trees in the nearby
hills.
The ceremony consists of a march
from the church to a cross stationed
at the farther end Of the holy ground.
| The penitents crawled most of the
distance. The columns of worshipers
were headed by two young girls
dressed in white and wearing long
wells. These two represented the two
Marys. They carried out the cruci-
fixion by mailing wooden image to
the cross
Most of the whipping is done in the
hills away from the holy grounds.
While the outsiders were watching.
two men came in from the hills, whip
ping themselves as they ran. They
wore only short white trousers, with
wells over their faces. They used a
braided rope, striking first over one
shoulder and then the other. One of
them had cut a deep triangle in his
back. while the wound of the other
was oval shaped. Blood poured from
the wounds and the whips were clot-
ted. Each time they dashed them
selves the whips stuck and were
pulled out with swishing noise The
men were weak and tired as they ran
toward the church.

toward repression, pending the result
Of negotiations.
The Navy Department has issued
the following statement of indisput-
able witnesses, who personally OBJ
served and who report as follows
about the Russian second Pacific
squadron in Kamranh Bay:
Two cruisers, one with three masts
and two tunnels, of the Dmitri Dom
skoi class; the other with two masts
and three tunnels, were seen cruis-
ing outside Of the harbor. Two four
masted merchantmen and a one-fun-
mel steamship were anchored outside
the northern entrance of the harbor.
Five vessels resembling battleships
were anchored inside the. .harbor Two
battleships with two masts and three
tunnels, flying admiral's flags, were
anchored~inside the harbor
six warships, anchored in single
formation, lay outside the harbor, off
its southern entrance. Heavy smoke
was seen rising inside the harbor."
Although the report does not say
so, 1t is believed that Rear Admiral
Rojestvensky used the harbor to clean
his ships, to coal. adjust his torpedoes,
clean his guns, prepare ammunition
and receive fresh. stores.
LONDOrI, April 22.-Baron Hayashi,
the japanese Minister to Great Britain.
said to the Associated Press to-day:
II do not think that the Japanese
note to the French Government could
be termed q protest. 1t simply calls
the attention of France to Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's stay in Kamranll
Bay. Japan knows that the French
Government was not an active party
to the llarboring of the Russian Pa
ciic squadron, but the Inactivity of
France had reached a serious stage
and we would have been perfectly JUS
titled In attacking the Russian squad
ron in Kamranh Bay"

PARIS. April ga semi-oficial
telegram from ST. Petersburg says
that Emperor Nicholas has ordered
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron TO
leave French territorial waters.
The Foreign Office received advices
from ST. Petersburg this morning
showing that the instructions sent to
Admiral RoJestvensky are positive
and explicit and that he must keep
outside Of French waters. The ma
ture OF the instructions is said to be
such that Rojestvensky must observe
them by fully respecting French neu-
trality or else subject himself to pun
ishment from his Government. There
fore the officials here feel that France
has succeeded in securing the limit Of
what Japan can reasonably demand.
Further official advices show that
radical steps have been taken TO pre-
vent the Russian protected cruiser
Diana, interned at Saigon after the
naval battle Of August 10, from put
ting TO sea and resuming her active
operations. The French authorities
peremptorily required the cruiser to
be placed in condition making it i'm
possible for her TO go to sea.

Water Publication.

A physician connected with the
United States Agricultural department
has called attention to the fact that
an extremely small quantity OF sui
plate of copper will prevent the
growth of algae in lakes, ponds and
storage reservoirs, and will destroy
typhoid and cholera germs. The ques-
ton at once arises whether this meth
cd can be considered thoroughly ny
gienic. The probability is that the
small amount of copper thus en-
ployed would be neutralized by COM
bining with vegetable substances SO
that the water will be left practically
pure; nevertheless, the addition OF
chemical substances to water cannot
be considered the most desirable
method of publication. Boiling and
filtering through Pasteur filter are
really the best methods. Filters are
cheap, and boiling is an easy and sim
pie process. The old-fashioned char
coal and gravel filters cannot be re-
lied upon.
