THE DENVER ELECTION
RETURNS INDICATE DEFEAT OF
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP TICKET.

DENVER Col. May 1e.--City election re-
turns were still incomplete early today,
but show that the municipal ownership
city ticket was defeated yesterday, with
the possible exception Of two election COM
n1issioners and three of the sixteen alder
men The republicans elected one election
commissioner, three supervisors and seven
aldrmen, and the democrats six aldermen.
The Denver City Tramway and the Dem
yer Gas and Electric Company's twenty
year franchises appear to have carried by
small majorities. but the municipal owner
ship league win contest these, on the
ground that the ballots Of many non-tax-
paying voters for them were accepted by
the judges. The Northwestern Terminal
railway (Moffatt road franchise was car
ried by several thousand majority. The
Denver Municipal Traction, Denver Terrni-
nal railway and Union Pacific railroad
franchises were defeated.
The number of votes cast for the city
ticket was about 10000 out of a total reg
istration of so O0O, and about 1900 votes
ON the franchises were cast. Returns from
25 of the oil precincts were missing at 8

THE KILLING OF GAME.
Hearing on the House Bill Given by
Senator Blackburn.

A hearing was held by Senator Blackburn
acting as a subcommittee, On House bill
1888, to prohibit the killing of wild birds
and other wild animals in the District of
Columbia. The bill is before the Senate
committee on the District of Columbia and
has been referred to Mr.. Blackburn for In
vestigation and report.
At the hearing today there were present
Commissioner West, Mr. w. s. Duvall, Mr..
James NJ Green and others. Commissioner
West asked that the bill as passed by the
House be amended to provide that in case
OF crows, hawks and owls being discovered
killing chickens they might be killed at
any time.
Mr.. Duvan submitted a long argument
against the passage of the bill He claimed
that 1t ha salways been recognized that
man has an inherent right to take and kill
wild game and that there are already suf-
flcient regulations on that subject.
Mr.. w. S. Harlan, president of the Fish
and Game Association, wrote a letter to
the committe in favor fthe passage of
the bill. The association of which he is
president, he says. urges the passage of
the bill and upon its adoption will stock
the District by introducing a number of
species of wild birds that will not only be
attractive to our parks but will give pleas
ure to many thousands of people.

since the strike was called SIX weeks ago.
The division is expected to arise over diff
ferences regarding the wisdom of President
Mitchelrs move in settling the anthracite

to fight the battle alone.
The operators do not expect the anti
strike sentiment win prove strong enough
to bring about speedy settlement. They
believe however that a fraction of the
strikers will manifest desire to submit the
whole controversy to arbitration which the
miners have been urging for long time.
Whatever comes out of the meeting the
mine owners have decided not to delay
longer in reopening their mines The stocks
in coal In Chicago are reported to he nearly
exhausted. The operators assert that they
will be compelled to begin operations by
June or lose many of the chief markets.
