NEW CAMP PA|CN
IN COLORADO

DENVER, June ia joint confer
ence of members of the Democratic
State Central Committee and other
Democratic leaders met here to-day in
pursuance of call issued some weeks
ago by United States Senators Teller
and Patterson, former Governors Alva
Adams and Charles H. Thomas and
other leading party men for the purpose
of securing an expression of opinion on
the issues of the day as affecting the
State of Colorado.
The conference instructed a commit
tee headed by Senator Patterson to pre-
pare an address to the people of Colo
rado. This was done and the conference
later heard it read and indorsed it as a
platform of principles for the Colorado
Democracy.
This address, after referring to the
conspiracy which resulted in unseat-
ing Alva Adams from the Governorship
and installing man who had never
been nominated for the place and for
whom a single vote had not been cast"
warns the people that the corporations
have deliberately determined to rule
the State regardless of what the major
fty of legal voters may decide"
The address further declares that
these corporations have already seized
the machinery of one political party
and at strategic points have obtained
the control of the machinery of another.
For the purpose of aiding in every
way to advance the wealth, power and
station of the people the Democrats of
Colorado, the address continues, are in
hearty sympathy with President Roose-
welt in his efforts to regulate railroad
rates. Municipal ownership of all pub
lie utilities is warmly supported and
the claim that this is local issue is
denied.
Subsequently the State Central Com
mittee adopted resolution to the ef-
feet that the time was not yet ripe for
municipal ownership of public utilities.
and that, any way, it was a question to
be handled politically by city and coun-
ty organizations. This is construed by
many as a rebuke to those Democrats
who are agitating municipal ownership
in Denver

which King Oscar sent on June Ii TO M
Berner, its president, in the form OF an
address to the King and the Swedish peo-
pie. The reply, while expressing the ut

ORDERED BY PRESIDENT
Practice Bark at Annapolis
Rechristened and Will Be
Called ''Severn" Hereafter
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING.
WASHINGTON, June 19. = President
Roosevelt, after considering a protest
that the name Of a frigate, which was
twice captured by a British craft OF
equal size, has no place of honor on the
American naval list, has directed that
the midshipmen's practice bark Chesa-
peake be known Hereafter as the Severn.
Never again will the ill-fated name be
fastened on an American warship.
Captain Schroeder, the chief intelli-
gence officer of the navy, recently adj
dressed to Secretary Morton a letter call
ing attention to the lack of honorable
tradition in the name of Chesapeake for
the vessel on which midshipmep at Ann
apolis receive their nautical instructions.
He recited the fact that the frigate
Chesapeake was stopped by the British
man of war Leopard in 1907 at sea and
accused of carrying four British desert
ers. In the fight which followed the
Chesapeake was SO impaired that she
succeeded in firing only one gun before
she was boarded and the deserters seized
and carried away. Her commander, Com
modore Barron, was courtmartialed and
suspended from the navy for five years.
The Chesapeake was again covered
with dishonor in 1913 when the British
ship Shannon challenged her to go out
side of Boston harbor. In the fight
which followed the gallant Lawrence fell
exclaiming: Don't give up the ship!"
but the Chesapeake did surrender and
was towed prize to Halifax.

TRANSFERS MAKE
A MOVE FOR PEACE
Will EndeavOr to Arrange a
Settlement With the
Employers.

CHICAGO, June 19.-Another effort is to
be made by the teamsters to bring
about settlement of the strike. At a
meeting of the Teamsters' Joint Coun-
Gil called tonight to consider the best
method of bringing about the termina-
ton of the trouble, it was decided to ap-
point committee which is to confer with
the executive committee of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Teamsters and
decide upon terms to be offered to the
employers. The meeting between these
two committees will be held tomorrow
or Wednesday.
President Shea of the Teamsters'
Union declared tonight that he would
not interfere in any manner with the
work of either of the committees, and
if they bring about a settlement of the
strike, it will be binding upon the team
sters.
The employers have repeatedly declared
that they will hold no more conferences
with the teamsters unless the men ap-
peariag in the conference in behalf Of the
teamsters have full power to settle the
strike They have also declard that there
can be no settlement unless the unions
are prepared to accept the terms of the
Employers Association. The situation is
rapidly improving from the standpoint of
the employers, and they have reached
almost normal conditions in making deliv-
cries of goods.

most instantly successful. Adam Grig-

somewhat narrow. formal country life,

like all of her others, was written first
in the form of a comedy and then put

beautiful home in the Wye Valley, where,
not three miles from the ancient ruins
of Tintern Abbey, visited annually by
hundreds of Americans, Llandogo Priory
stands looking down upon the river and
the quiet village from which it takes its
name.

lar liking for America and Americans,

things to make her first journey across

have shown an upward tendency since
the S'bull'' deal in corn for May delivery
was successfully completed.

stop the run" but are paying out as
the depositors call for their money. The

WALLACE MAY
QUIT HIS POST

nounced that John F. Wallace. chief en-
gineer Of the canal zone, who sailed for
the United States on June is, was going
home by order Of Secretary Taft for the
purpose of consultation on important
matters prior to the sailing Of the Secre-
tary for the Philippines. and that he was
not likely to return to the isthmus until
his annual report had been written
Since the departure Of Wallace, how
ever, it has been said in influential cir
cles that he does not intend to return
to the isthmus to resume his position as
chief engineer. but that he has gone
home to confer with Secretary Taft on
the subject of his resignation.
Shortly before he sailed Wallace was
the recipient Of a memorial from the
heads of departments on behalf OF the
canal employees, expressing deep apprecia-
ton of the benefits resulting from the
new schedule Of hours and wages, and
from the betterment in the general well
fare of all connected with the work on
the canal.
The fact that Wallace went home ac-
companied by his wife and his two sec
retaries seems in some quarters to lend
credence TO the rumor that he does not
intend to return.
