DEAF MuTE's CONVENTION.
Interesting, Though Silent, Gathering
in Denver.

Denver.-The second biennial CON
vention of the Colorado Association of
Deaf Mutes, which began Thursday in
the Chamber of Commerce hall, was a
wonderful demonstration of the prog
ress made in sign language.
The greatest novelty was five young
women who recited without emitting
sound. rhythmic and graceful in mo-
ton, their rendition seemed to he as
pleasing to those who could follow
them as vocal quintet to music low
erS.
The Colorado deaf mutes evidently
have come up to Denver with the full
intention of having as good time as
any noisy aggregation that ever
whooped its way down Sixteenth
street
With the faculties of sight and touch
they did all that others can accom-
plish. When their president, George
w. Veditz, addressed them, although
there was not sound except the
smack of his hands as he emphasized
his points, all were attentive. Their
earnest faces, mods of approval and
rounds of applause were as emphatic
and genuine as If they had been deaf
ening.
The officers of the association are;
G. W. Veditz, Colorado Springs. presi-
dent; H. NJ. Harbert, Colorado Springs,
first vice president; Stephen McGin-
nifty, Denver, second vice president;
Max ]. Kestner, Denver, secretary;
Frank A. LESLEY, Denver, treasurer;
Edward p. McGow, Denver, Floyd o.
Mount, Mrs. Kate o. Mount, Denver,

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT.
Second Democratic Organization
Formed in Denver.

Denver.-The following is, in part,
the address to the Democrats of Colo
RADIO which was adopted Wednesday
night by Democrats of Denver in
mass meeting assembled at the Wom-
ans club. 1t was prepared by COM
inittee of which Senator T. M. Patter-
son was chairman:
To the Democrats of Colorado: On
the 18th day of July more than 100
Democrats of Denver met at the AL
bany hotel and unanimously adopted
the following resolutions:
Resolved, that there is no Demo-
cratic city and county central commit
tee in Denver; that the so-called DEM
ocIatic central committee does not rep
resent the Democrats of Denver, nor
Democratic principles, and we repudi-
ate that committee and declare it to
be but the mouthpiece of William G..
Evans and the Denver utility corpora
tions he represents.
.And we, therefore, recommend the
creation of Democratic city and
county central committee, and that the
organization be fully completed, to the
END that the Democracy of Denver
may be fittingly represented in the
coming state Democratic convention,
and nominate full Democratic city
and county ticket to be voted for at
the fall election"
In pursuance of the resolution the
Democrats of Denver have organized
a city and county central committee.
also Democratic executive commit
tee. The executive committee consists
of sixteen members-one from each
ward of the city and county Of Denver
and the central committee consists
of one from each voting precinct OF
said city and county.
Fully equipped with the proper com
mittees, 1t is the purpose of Denver's
Democracy, through them, to call and
hold city and county convention, for
the nomination of full delegation to
the Democratic state convention, also
senators and representatives, judges
of the District court and other county
and precinct officers. 1t will also take
proper steps for representation in the
congressional convention of the First
district, and in such conventions as
may be called to nominate float legis-
lative candidates. 1t will, in addition.
do each and every other thing neces-
sary and proper to carry out the
wishes of and to meet theresponsibil-
tiles devolving upon Inc Democrats OF
Denver.

BOOMING CANNON
BOTH RENoMINATED AND EN-
DoRsEp FOR PRESIDENT.
SPEAKER HIGHLY HoNoRED

Would Not Refuse Presidential NomI-
nation-But It Is Best Not to
Cross a Stream Until You Come
to It.
Danville. Ill.-In the convention Of
the Eighteenth Illinois Congressional
district which Thursday renominated
Joseph G.. Cannon for the eighteenth
consecutive time, being the seven
teenth nomination by acclamation.
there was the greatest enthusiasm.
especially over the prospective candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Cannon for President.
Mr.. Cannon had not intended to
launch a boom for President at this
convention, but the pressure Of his
supporters was SO great as to sweep
away his wishes in the matter.
Mr. Cannon's supporters in his own
district will likely urge the state con-
vention to make similar endorsement
There seems to be little doubt that
this will be done.
The conventions endorsement of
Mr.. Cannon for President was unani-
nous and a resolution to this effect
was adopted amid the greatest enthu-
siasm.
Mr.. Cannon, after the passage of the
resolution endorsing him for Presi-
dent, said:
THE resolution which you have Just
adopted, coming as it does from those
whom | have represented in the ma
tional House of Repres entatives for
over thirty years. touches me pro-
foundly. l would be less than human
did | not appreciate your expression
of compliment, when you mention my
name with approval in connection with
the highest office in the gift of the
people. I would not exchange your
confidence for the qualification for any
ambition l might have.
ut is proper for me to say, how
ever. that we are on the eve of a cam
paign for the election of a national
House Of Representatives which may
involve one-third of the personnel of
the United States Senate, to say moth,
ing of the campaign in the respective
states
''As you are aware. the election will
be held in November next. In politics
as Wcll as Ill OlueT udlIcTS, II Is pest
not to cross a stream until you come
to 1t. The first stream to cross is in
November next and it is necessary that
we should be successful in crossing
it before we attempt to get over the
river in 1908.
at is too early to determine the per-
sonnel of the national ticket for the
presidential election. So far as the
Republican party is concerned, it will
no doubt. in convention assembled,
perform that duty wisely when the
time comes, and whoever is chosen for
leadership will surely receive the
hearty support of those who believe in
the policies of the Republican party,
of which 1 am an humble member.
These policies are vital for the best
interests and welfare of all the people.
No man would refuse the nomina-
tion at the hands of great party for
the highest office in the Republic, but
such nomination is not to be had for
the seeking"

The Arabs Mission.

Our present thoroughbred is q liv.
ing witness of the Arabs capability
as founder and creator of racers.
Himself a natural racer, bred through
centuries for running rather than
draft, bred also for speed and stay,
the Arab possesses every gift and
qualification, courage, docility, tenn
per, endurance. action, determination.
II he cannot go with the fiiers of the
course, bred and trained solely for
speed, neither can he be called slow.
He has run two miles. with derby
weight up, in three minutes and 4S
seconds, yet on the course he keeps
nearly to his normal speed. Long or
short, his race is run true from end
to end moreover, so excellent are
his temper and constitution that he
stands training for years and years,
and has been known to win races in
Mis- teens. In the point of endurance,
says Country Life in America. no
other horse is worthy to be named
with him. Under the trying Indian
sun. the two little Arabs, Honey
suckle and Greyleg. were matched
for two-mile heats, best three in FIVE.
1t took seven heats to decide the
match. and three of them were dead
heats. Fancy such questions being
asked of our thoroughbreds-even the
best.

These officers were elected Thurs
day at the annual meeting OF the Grand
Army of the Republic. All the other
officers are staff appointments and will
be announced later by the commander
in-chief.
The strongest opponents of Mr..
Brown for the honor of being COM
mander-in-chief were G. G.. Burton, Mis-
souri,, and Capt. p. H. Coney of Kansas.
Both withdrew when it was seen that
the election of Mr.. Brown was a GER
tainty.
Several candidates were nominated
for senior and Junior vice commanders,
but later all withdrew in favor of Arm
strong and Fenton, and both were
chosen unanimously. Archbishop Ire
land had no rivals for the position OF
chaplain-in-chief.
In his annual report Commander
Tanner said that Notwithstanding the
fearful inroads of death upon the COM
rades OF the Grand Army OF the Re-
public, Mr. Tanner declared the or
ganization to-day is $500 stronger
than at the encampment at Denver last
year.
He said the G. A. r. has attained a
position of influence (which has been
beneficial not only to our own COM
rades, but to the nation which we
served in its hour of peril
The commander-in-chief bitterly ar.
raigned those who, posing as the
most eminent men of the nation" had
proven false to their trust in various
ways. but declared that among all such
the name of no Civil War veteran
could be found. He suggested that a
committee be appointed to consider
carefully the relations to be sustained
in the future between the Grand Army
of the Republic and the Woman's Re-
lief Corps, Ladies' of the Grand Army,
Daughters of Veterans, Sons of Vet
Grams and other patriotic organizations.
All OF these societies had done great
good and given substantial help to
those of the order in need. He urged
that 1t was best for them to consoli
date.
The heat, which has caused so much
suffering, continues. 1t is estimated by
the police that the prostrations dur

The Elbert County tribune., 1906-08-23

A curious survival of an old law
appeared in France recently when
woman who had taken couple of
buckets of water out of the sea at
Boulogne was threatened with a fine
by the customs officials for having
violated an enactment of Louis XIV
The old law forbade the taking OF
sea water lest those taking it should
extract the salt and SO defraud the
revenues of the salt tax. and the
woman was compelled to show that
she mercy intended to give her
little boy salt water bath.

SILVER BELL DISTRICT SHOWING GREAT
 ACTIVITY
Good Results at HeIyetia and at Olive Camp in
 District.

From the prospector's lonely tents
 white and glistening in lne sunlight far out on the mountains to the big
 plant of the Imperial Copper com pany at Silver Bell, the entire Silver Bell district is showing an activity
 which is bringing Pima county rap idly to the front and which stamps this district as the most active in Pima county. although great activity is being also shown at Helvetia, Twin Buttes, Olive camp and in the Tue son mountains.
 With the erection of the Silver Bell smelter. the development in that dis trict will be augmented even more than at present.
 The Imperial Copper company is expendlng money liberally. On the
 main shaft work is being done on the 300 foot level and a compressor with capacity sufficient to operate 130 drills to sink to a depth of one mile, ] has just been installed. Work will soon be under way on the smelter,
 which will be completed in about six months, and which will do custom smelling in addition to handling the ore of the Imperial mines.
 The Clevelsnd-Arizona will soon be ready to install machinery to take care of the water difficulty. The Amalgamated Copper company is dc ling work on 102 claims. The main shaft is town 500 feet, with 600 ieet
 uf lateral work. This property is
 owned by the Standard Oil interests. | Sinking is being continued in the Arcade group of sixteen claims, with
 good showings. The Indiana-Arizona 1 is down to a depth of 400 feet and
 has uncovered high grade copper
 ore. The Great Sulphide Copper com pany is sinking its shaft below the 300 foot level and will prospect thor loughly with diamond drill. Devel- Iopment work is going steadily ahead lon the Chepin-Richardson group.
 which has made an excellent show ing. On the Cole-Glidden property, 200 feet of work has been done.
 The La Nina Cobra Copper com pany, which has twenty claims. has ldriven a timbered double-compart-
 ment shaft to a depth of 100 feet and lis cross-cutting and drifting. The Copper Giant company, with four. Iteen claims, has done 250 feet of work. This is one of the copper-lead lproperties that has been showing up lin good shape. There are numerous lsmailer companies operating, and nearly the entire district is located.- iCitiZen.

HOMER DUBO|SlS \ FREE MAN
 AGAIN
Pays Fine of S154 and Gets Freedom After a Long Term in Jail at Tucson-ls We'll Known in Cochise County

The imprisonment Of Honor K. Du Bois is ended. He was viyen his freedom yesterday morning when he paid to Recorder Treat of Tucson $154. This sum represented the amount re- maining from the fine of $500 imposed for conducting a saloon without IT, cense. The sentence in this case was $500 or 300 days in the city prison. Dubois remained in custody for 146 days.
 While he was serving this sentence he also served number of gambling sentences. The last of the gambling sentences expired Sunday. As there was imprisonment with these senten- ces, the time portion had to be served The saloon sentence. however. is sim. ply fine, with the alternative of i'm prisonment.
 l. was mainly on this latter sentence that an attempt was made to secure a writ habeas corpus from Judge Sloan of Prescott. The writ was denied by the Judge after affidavits had been submitted by the City of Tucson and by Dubois. In remanding Dubois to custody, Judge Sloan held that he might have his freedom after Septem GSI 70 Oll Day Inelt Ol Sl0i-
 No case in the Territory in recent months has attracted as much attsn tion as this one. It was battle of the city against the gambling element Du Bois elected himself to make the test He opened up roulette and craps in the Legal Ten der in defiance of the city gambling ordinances. He was arrest cd and found guilty before Recorder Treat and sentenced to Imprisonment and fines.
 Dubois was supposed to have ths backing of the gambling and saloon element of the city. who would have been gathers had he won his suit How ever. Dubois found himself suddenly deserted when affairs began to gC against him.
 He tried unsuccessfully to win his case by habeas corpus proceedings be fore Judges Campbell, Doan ant Sloan. Before each of the judges ht lost his case. The test of the city gambling ordinances cost Dubois considerable sum for attorneys fees It was reported at the beginning tha a fund was to be raised by the gam blers and saloonists, but this failed to materialize.
 The result of the decisions was tt show that a city has ample power tt control gambling and may impose sucl restrictions as are deemed necessar, for the good order of the city.
 Dubois is former resident of Co cnise county having conducted gam bling houses at Naco and Douglas.
