Denver, Colo, Nov. 20.-Assembling
from many parts of the country for the
purpose of inspecting the plant of the
Northern Colorado Power company, in
course of construction at Lafayette,
and to look over the territory between
Denver and Cheyenne, wyo., which
VIII be supplied with power and light,
some of the promoters, directors and
construction managers of that concern
arrived in Denver yesterday afternoon
and today are making a journey over

cial train.
Wallace With Party.
John F. Wallace, formerly chief en-
gIneer in charge of the construction of
the Panama canal, and now president
of the Electrical Securities company,
and a director of the Westinghouse
Electrical Manufacturing company, is
with the party. He was in the city six
months ago and laid out the plans for
the construction work, in which several
millions of dollars will be expended.
Will Construct Large Plant.
The scheme of the Northern Colora-
do Power company is to construct a
large electrical plant at Lafayette,
where the company owns several coal
mines, and construct transmission lines
from that point to all the principal
towns in the northern part of Colorado
and to Cheyenne, Wyo.
Owns Some Plants Already.
The corporation has purchased the
power plants now in operation at Boui-
der and towns in hat district, and will
close them down when the central
plant at Lafayette is completed. The
original plan called for the construc-
ton Of the plant by April l. 1907, but
delay in securing material will probably
prevent it's opening before May or pos
sibly a little later.

THE ALGECIRAS TREATY
DEMOCRATS NAME CONDITIONS
FOR SUPPORT OF 1T.

Whether democratic senators shall sup
port the Algeciras treaty in relation to
Moroccan affairs when it is voted upon in,
the Senate December u, will depend upon
the fate of a resolution to be presented dis
claiming the responsibility Of the United
States for the convention and declaring
that the participation of this government is
only in furtherance of it's general policy of
promoting peace and in the interest of its
commercial relations with Morocco.
The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tons today considered the treaty, and or
dered that 1t be favorably reported to the
Senate. This action was taken, however,
AFTER a committee consisting of Senator's
Spooner, Lodge and Bacon had been named
10 phrase resolution which would declare
that the United States had no intention of
interfering in the regulation Of European
internal affairs.
Senator Bacon insisted that a resolution
OF that character should be submitted to
the Senate, and in his statement to the
committee said that such a declaration
would be the only way in which we could
consistently defend our right to be consid-
cred supreme in the western hemisphere.

or the character outlined is not adopted

sponslbilty of enforcing the treaty through

ment should not take responsibility for Its
enactment.

sands of paper matches at the match fac
tory Of F. A. Rathbun e Co. this morning,
eight girls were burned, four Of them
probably fatally The others were painfully
burned and injured in their frantic efforts
to escape from the building. A sheet Of
flame swept out and almost covered the
second floor, on which there were about
fifty girls working. A panic followed and
the majority Of the girls ran to the stair
way. The flames overlook them, and in an
instant there was a struggling mass of
girls with burning hair and dresses on the
stairway. The girls fought to reach place
of safety Several of the girls were penned
in like sheep on the side Of the room oppo-
site the stairway, and when the flames
settled over them they threw themselves
out of the windows. The girls who jumped
are Helen Stapp Lulu Breedlove and Lizzie
Richards. There were many acts of hero
ism among the girls. When they reached
place of safety they began fighting the lire
that burned each others clothing.
The flames were checked and prevented
from spreading to compounds which would
have wrecked the building by explosions.

BURGLARS SCARED OFF.
Beat Broker Senseless, But Left Their
Loot

NEW YORK, December 5.-Awakened
by the sound of a stealthy footstep in his
home in East 63d street near 5th avenue
early today, Elias Asiel, broker, found
himself confronted with two revolvers
held only few inches from his face
We'll shoot if you make a squeak" said
voice as the men behind the guns began
to draw slowly away toward the door of
the room. Mr.. Asiel did not heed the
warning, but, raising himself on his elbow,
shouted for help. In an instant the two
men were upon him, raining blows upon
his head, and when servant, who had
heard the cries, rushed into the room the
broker was lying helpless, on the verge of
insensibility, his pillow soaked with blood.
The robbers had escaped.
Invest cation showed that the burglars
gained entrance to the house by saving an
inch-thick iron bar, which held gate
guarding the basement door, and then cut
ting out the glass panel of the door. A
large amount of gold and silver plate in
the dining room had been gathered and
tied UP in two compact bundles, but in
their flight from the house the men did
not have slime to take their booty with
them.
So far as can be learned the only reward
they gained for their desperate act was
few silver knives forks and spoons which
were probably thrust into their pockets
while footing the dining room, and dozen
pearl and sapphire stick pins, which are
missing from Mr.. Asiel's bed room.

for another week in order to enable the
German representatives to obtain fur
Their evidence. The magistrate said the
evidence already here was sufficient to
warrant Hau's extradtion, but to make
the case complete it was necessary to
have proof of the cause of the death of
Frau Molitor which the German auth7ri
ties had omitted to obtain.

mental strain, which has entirely chang
ed his appearance, was quite calm during
