the Scaffold.

Canon City, Colo. June 17.-Fred
Arnold and Newton Andrews were
hanged last night in the execution
house of the Colorado State Peniten-
tiary in the presence,of thirteen wit
nesses. The execution was quiet and
successful In every detail.
At 1922 o'clock Newton Andrews
mounted the scaffold, dressed In a
plain black suit and wearing button
hole bouquet OF roses gathered from
the penitentiary garden.
Although somewhat weak and trem-
bling. he stepped upon the platform
without faltering-
When asked If he had any statement
to make. he replied that he had. and in
a low but distinct voice, slightly trem-
bling with emotion, he said:
"Gentlemen-This is my last state
ment. / expect TO die any moment.
What say you can put down as abso-
lutely true. On the occasion OF the
death OF Mrs. Youngblood. Arnold. Pc

realize what was going on, but soon
l heard shots fired. l pulled my gun
and fired once through the ceiling.
That was the only shot l fired. After
ward Arnold told me that he had laid
out in the Youngblood yard close TO
the house with a gun. waiting for the
woman to come out, and that he ex-
pected to kill her."
After making this statement he added
that he had nothing further to say.
Immediately the black cap was
placed. the moose was adjusted and
while the chaplain commended the soul
OF Andrews to his Maker. In an adjoin.
ing room the water was already trick
ling from bucket which In another
minute would release the great weight
which would jerk the body of Andrews
into eternity.
When the weight dropped the boys
body shot three feet into the air and
his neck was instantly broken.
After hanging for thirty minutes life
was pronounced extinct by the three
attending physicians. and the body was
cut down.
About ten minutes after the body OF
Andrews was cut down. Arnold was led
out. He strobe upon the platform
with alacrity. never losing his nerve
for an instant.
When asked II he had any statement
to make he said NO" and positively
refused to say anything further.
At 9.07 o'clock Arnold was launched
into eternity in exactly the same man
ner as his partner.
His neck was instantly broken and
his body was allowed to hang fifty
minutes when life being pronounced
extinct, 1t was cut down and removed
to the penitentiary morgue. where tho
body OF Andrews had preceded 1t.

Colorado state institutions.

Denver. June 17.-Secretary Hagar
of the State Board OF Charities and
Corrections. in discussing the recent
visit of the board to the state institu-
tions. said yesterday that the thing
that most impressed them was the in
ability Of the state to take care Of its
insane The last two legislatures have
been generous and the new buildings
at the institution are only recently
completed. but they are not enough.
The day the board was there there
were 761 inmates. of whom more than
700 are declared to be incurable. The
place Is worked to its capacity right
now and the county hospitals are full
OF persons who should be at the asy-
lum.
The condition at the State Peniten-
tiary was satisfactory. in SO far as the
management Is concerned. There are
721 prisoners. But two were in the
hospital the day the board visited;
these had some slight ailments. This
is remarkable. considering that the
men have to be confined SO closely.

Decision,

Denver. June 21.-A Joint confer
ence of members of the Democratic
State Central Committee and the Dem
ocratic leaders not directly connected
with the state Organization as COM
nitteemen met here Monday in pur-
suance of call issued some weeks
ago by United States Senators Teller
and Patterson. Former Governor
Adams and Charles S. Thomas and tho
other leading party men, for the pur-
= pcSe or securing an expression OF opin-
ion on the issues of the day affecting
the state of Colorado. On entering the
conference the members of the state
committee announced that they did so
only as individuals.
The conference instructed n COM
mittee. headed by Senator Patterson,
to prepare an address to the people
of Colorado. This was done and tho
conference later heard 1t read and in
dorsed 1t as a platform OF principles
for the Colorado Democracy.
This address, after referring to tho
conspiracy which resulted in the un-
seating OF Alva Adams from the gov
ernorship and installing a man who
never had been nominated for the
place and for whom single vote had
not been cast" warns the people that
the corporations have deliberately
determined to rule the state, regard
less OF what the majority OF legal
voters may decide
The address further says:
I'VE stand for municipal ownership
OF all public utilities. The claim that
this is question local to each town
and city is given the lie by the events
OF the past few years in Colorado"
0 Later the state central committee
held meeting and adopted the fol-
lowing:
, Resolved. by the Democratic State
Central Committee. That while we
favor municipal ownership OF public
utilities. the time and manner OF ac-
quiring them should be left to the vari-
GUS towns and cities interested"

ence was held at the Savoy hotel Mon
day night and was attended by more
than 800 Democrats from all sections

consideration, speed is the second; and the constant effort Is to eliminate "tne drag of the call" which is the teen ntcaI expression for the excess or time a call consumes over the standard time as determined from inspection reports. Everything is done to reduce the nun her of long waits, that the correct aV- araSA may be kept up. It would be dls- turbing to get a two-second answer Tn one case and a twenty-second or tweh- ty-fIve second answer in the next-tne constant average of four or i've secohas is far better and more useful
 Moreover, inspection shows the sup scriber how to use his instrument to the best advantages thing that not

Tn A business district, about 9S per cent. of the telephone calls are answered upon the first ringing of the bells' while in a residential district the pro- portion is between S5 and 90 per cent.
 Telephone companies have all these matters calculated so closely that they can suggest to a subscriber whether nc needs an extension telephone on an- other floor. how often his line is report ed busy and whether he needs addt- tionaI facilities of any nature. They can also tell him whether the servants or employees are remiss or neglectful in answering telephone calls. Blame IS often thrown on central offices when IL Is really due to the neglect of employees to answer the call. Then again, in many cases, people keep their tele- phones in closets with the door shut, perhaps, when they should have an exs tension bell in the hall, or the telephone is so poorly located that tho call is not likely to be heard. In big offices and manufactures, also, where many Of those employed may be some distance from the telephone, extension sets are often indispensable.
 The business of telephone companies Is not, as most people suppose. the leas- ing of instruments, but the selling of service; and quality of service means as much to them as quality of goods to a manufacturer. Therefore they em- ploy every means to inspect tEieir ser vice as carefully as the manufacturer inspects his goods, and for the same end-that the customer may get full value for his money.
