Labor Unions File Demurrer.

Denver, May 23.-The defendants in
the damage suit brought in the federal
court against those implicated in the
Colorado City strike. wherein the bus
mess of the United States Reduction
and Refining Company was seriously
crippled, have filed demurrers to the
complaint. The milling company sued
for damages amounting to over $780,
600 because of the damage incurred
during the strike, indicating as those
responsible the Western Federation of
Miners. the Colorado City Min and
Smeltermen's Union. Charles H. Meyer,
w. y. Haywood, John NJ. O'Neill, L.
n. Edwards. II. T. Sanger. Charles
Lyon and Thomas Daniels.
The two labor organizations demur
on the grounds that they are voluntary
associations. without corporate exist
ence. and therefore cannot sue or be
sued. The men named claimed that
they have been engaged in no con-
spiracy against the company, that no
contracts were damaged by the strike,
that no conspiracy is shown in the
complaint. that the boycott charge is
not supported and that the complaint
does not show that they committed
any unlawful act All the assertions.
they ailege, are mere conclusions OF
law.

Former Auditor schwanbcck Dead.

Denver, May 23.-Louis B. Schwan-
beck, former state auditor and prob
ably the best known expert accountant
in Colorado, died yesterday morning at
st. Anthony's hospital at 1870 o'clock,
aged fifty-four years. Death was due
to heart trouble. He was a politician
of long experience and had wide ac-
quaintance in the state.
Mr.. Schwanbeck came to America
from Germany at the age of twenty
seven. and twenty years ago he re-
moved to Colorado, accepting posi-
ton as assistant to Gen. Charles Ad-
ans, his brother, Indian agent at
Meeker.
Later, he removed to Saguache and
engaged in the hardware business with
Otto Mears. He soon entered politics
and became postmaster county asses
sor and later county treasurer. He
was elected auditor of state and served
from 1889 to 1891. Following the ex-
piration of this term of Office. he went
to the State Legislature to represent
Saguache county and served through
one session.
Mr.. Schwanbeck then took up the
work which he followed for the re-
mainder of his life, expert accounting.

Ocean Yacht Race Gossip.

rev York, May 21.-Paul Eve ste
venson, the noted yachting writer.
says:
"All attempt to estimate with even
approximate accuracy the chances of
any given boat in the kaiser's cup race.
which started on Tuesday at the Sandy
Hook Lightship, would be almost as
futile as a weather forecast six months
ahead. So great a variety of condi-
lions will be encountered in the 5000
miles that the eleven yachts started
upon an almost equal basis. though
naturally the most highly developed
boat from the naval architects Jew
point would be the favorite in calcu-
lating the odds and chances.
still. it is entirely conceivable that
the schooner Hamburg. a Watson de-
signed racing boat, should be defeated
by the Fleur de Lis. much smaller
cruising schooner. Again. much inter-
est attaches to the various rigs of the
competitors, four types being repre-
scented, viz. yawl. schooner. bark and
ship; while a still wider range exists
in the dimensions. the extremes being
obtained in the Fleur de Lis of ninety
one gross tons and the Valhalla of
1900 gross tons.

VOTE FOR CHURCH UNION.
United Brethren to Join With conare-
uatIonaI and Methodist Professionals.

Topeka. Kan. May 2O.-The United
Brethren general conference Thurs
day voted in favor of union with the
Congregational and Methodist Protest
ant churches. The opponents OF the
plan argued that its adoption would
cause the United Brethren church to
lose its identity, and predicted the
federation would finally be named
Congregational.
Bishop J. S. Mills and Bishop u. B.
Kephart aided DIR. l.. s. Cornell OF
Deryer in supporting the plan.
IF the delegates are capable OF
clearly understanding the syllabus as
1t is submitted to them" said Bishop
Kephart, they will see that 1t does
not provide for an organic union OF
the three churches, but only for a
closer federation"
When a vote was taken only eight
negative votes were recorded Com
missioners will be appointed to confer
with representatives OF the Methodist
Protes tant and Congregational
churches. Whatever pan they agree
upon will be rubmitted to referen-
dunn vote of the membership of the
three churches. SO far as the legis-

cerned, the church union Is settled

CONSUMPTION FOUGHT
BY TUBERCULOSIS CONFERENCE
Hopeful View Taken BY National As
ISOLATION at lts Meeting in
Washington.

Washington, May 2O.-The nrst an
nual conferences of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF Tuberculosis ended last night with
a banquet Two days have been occu-
pied with the presentation OF views by
prominent members OF the medical pro-
fession from all sections OF the coun-
try.
The comparison of data regarding
what is being done TO stamp out the
great white plague" led many speakers
to predict that popular interest Is
awakened on the subject and that the
immediate future will witness greater
organized activity in the treatment
and care OF consumptives than in the
past.
One section of the congress has de-
voted itself to the discussion OF the
sociological side OF the problem. while
another has taken up the medical lea
lures.
The morning session OF the socio-
logical section embraced a Symposium
on sanitarium treatment OF consump-
ton. In discussing the sanitarium
movement. DIR. w. j. Marcley OF Mas
sachusetts gave great credit 10 Efforts
of labor unions.
H. NJ. Danner OF Denver advocated
a special tax on unsanitary sections OF
cities.
II. Allen of New York told of the
experiments in that city In the seaside
treatment of surgical tuberculosis for
children. One hundred and fifty chill
dren have been treated in this man
ner, he said, and the success has been
phenomenal.
One of the points OF interest brought
out In this discussion was that every
effort so far mad to. establish self
supporting communities or settle
ments of tuberculosis patients had
proved failure. Nevertheless par
tial support had been accomplished
under carefully directed industries in
the open air. II was the general opin-
ion that all cases of tuberculosis
should be allowed to remain at large.
where proper care of the patient was
maintained and proper sanitary re-
quirements observed to protect men,
bers of the family in which the pa
tient resided. Nowhere except in New
York is there legal authority to com
pei the retention of a patient against
his will. Such authority, 1t was ar
gued, was most desirable.
Speaking of the lax enforcement of
sanitary regulations by municipalities
DIR. j. p. G. Foster of New Haven said
he arrived at the Boston station one
night at ~ o'clock. On all of the sta
ton walls he observed large signs
stating that 800 was the fine for OK
pectorating on the floor On the
floor were enough evidences of the vi
olation of this law to support with the
collected penalty a state institution.
His conclusion was that either such
laws should not be enacted. or that
they should be enforced.

VIOLENT STORM
Does Damage In Different Parts of
Colorado.

Denver, May 23.-At least two per-
sons were killed in the heavy storm
which prevailed in many parts of Col

was heaviest at Greeley.
Two deaths are reported:

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE
CONVENTION AT DENVER IN July

Denver, May 22.-Plans for the In

ton, which meets in Denver. Julv 5th
to 9th, are maturing rapidly, and the
various chairmen have their work or.
ganized to point where they could re-
ceive the visitors at any time they
might choose to come. The program
committee in Chicago has sent word
that brilliant men of national reputa-
ton will be heard at the convention
speaking of the work done by the local
executive committee, Secretary w. c..
Williams said yesterday:
a small army, including over 1000
people, is now working for the Epworth
league convention committee, and as
the convention approaches this army
will increase in size. The convention
committee is holding meetings every
Friday evening at the Albany hotel.
and will continue to meet regularly
until the convention. Every committee
Is thoroughly organized and equipped
and could handle the vast crowds that
are coming, with only two weeks no

There has been considerable specu-
lation as to the attendance at the con-
yention and some wild prophesies
have been made, but the committee is
very conservative when it places the
ngures at 10000. Letters from trans
portation managers all over the United
States indicate this, and there are
many parties being formed, of which
the committee has no notice at this
time. The Union Pacific has fifty
trains over its line already scheduled.
The secretary's Office on the second
floor of the Club building, is a busy

nearly every state have issued neat
and attractive convention folders with
views of Denver and Colorado, while
all Colorado railroads and the eastern
lines have also issued attractive
pamphlets. In addition to this, over
twenty Methodist papers that circu-
lated among millions of people have is
sued special convention editions with
views and write-ups of Colorado. The
amount of advertising the city and
state have received is incalculable.
