LAYNE mot GUILTY"
IS VERDICT OF JURY

John E. Layne has been relieved of
any criminal liability for the killing
Of Henry D. Stevenson. He was found
not guilty by, jury that was marched
into Judge Andrew Hollis courtroom
at l1:45 last night, after seven hours
elaboration. The defendant, with his
wife and friends, waited in the court
room during the evening, but did not
appear to be worrying over the out
come, and he was the calmest of his
party when the jurors filed into the
courtroom and the foreman handed in
the verdict. -. H"=. 10
Mr.. Layne took the witness stand In
his own defense late yesterday, and 1t
was his story and manner Of telling it
that probably secured acquittal. he
insisted that he had had no quarrel
with Stevenson. that he did not strike
him, but merely pushed him away with
his left hand. His testimony was not
weakened much by a strong cross-exam-
nation in which Assistant Country At.
torney Dahl brought out some shady
spots in the defendants record.

MANY PICTURES TO STAY
sBAsUKE's WATER CoLoRs AT
THE BEARD GALLERIES ARE
RoUsING RARE INTEREST.

The interest in the japanese art ex-
hibit in the Beard art gallery at Day
ton IS is growing each day Of the week.
Despite inclement weather the gal
leries have been thronged with visit
ors. The exhibition has met with the
enthusiastic approval Of the critics,
while at the same time the pictures
are well within the ken Of the ordi-
nary picture lover.
by any means the ordinary decorative
line drawings of the Japanese artist,
but may fairly be said to be product
Of the orient and occident combined.
With the peculiar artistic feeling and
that remarkable thoroness Of the Jap
anese art training, there has been in
the case Of Basuke, the artist, the very
best opportunities in the American
school. For seven years he studied
with Chase in New York and at the
Pennsylvania academy at Philadelphia.
The pictures show at once this broad
training.
The peculiar charm Of the pictures
lies perhaps in the wonderful atmo-
spheric effects the artist obtains. He
himself says that he prefers to paint
early In the morning or in the even
ing time, and his pictures show, too,

AS may be expected, the sacred
mountain of Japan is the favorite sub
ject. Mr.. Basuke seems to have paint
ed cold Fujiyama" at morning, noon
and night, but best perhaps Of these in
teresting mountain pictures are those
in which the cool gray mists of the
morning are encircling it, or where the
evening shadows intervene. Besides
the old mountain are quaint village
scenes and almond trees in full bios
som and L. shadowy groups of pines,
while here and there is picture,
which, as one artist expresses it, seems
to be but a ghost Of a painting.
The pictures Of sFujiyama have been
favorites with Minneapolis art lovers,
and one Of the most beautiful has been
purchased by Minneapolis picture
buyer. A very exquisite little picture
proved irresistible to one of the local
art critics, while the Sheridan school
has purchased No. SO of the collection
with the hearty approval of the school
art teachers. = - -sss & r.
Among many other purchasers of
numbers Of the collection are Mr.. Helm

company is not anxious for another

Gil to be allowed to withdraw its petit
tion for one. The request was presented
last evening and on motion Of Alder
man H. G.. McLaskey was referred to
the special committee which has had
the franchise under consideration.
Mr.. McLaskey takes the position
that the time is opportune for a re-

virtually gave the company monop-

this offer was accepted. r.
The city clerk was directed to adver-

West Side pumping station at the falls,
with two mill powers and a perpetual

Tb. clerk was also directed to advertise

reported that no bids had been received
for the use Of the old city hall at
Bridge square.
A motion to authorize the fire de-
partment to buy oats in the open mar

department says that he can save money
that way, but there has been SO much
criticism over the practice of not ad:

are unwilling to invite any more of the
same kind.

CADETS DO WELL
AT FINAL DRILL
EVERYTHING rs NOW READY FOR
OPENING PERFORMANCE.
Rehearsal Of Northern Lights at Ly-
ceum Today Suggests Some Changes
in Disposition Of Cadets upon the
Stage - First Appearance Monday
Night Tickets selling Fast.

Some changes in the plans for the
Journal cadets benefit appearance with
the Frawleys in Northern Lights at
the Lyceum next week resulted from
the rehearsal at the theater today. In
stead OF the entire corps participating
in the battle scene of the last act,
forty-fve of the larger cadets were de-
tailed for the purpose. The entire corps
will appear in the drill which is part
of the first act.
Originally it was planned to let the
entire corps go on for the final scene,
but after one trial it was plain that
the stage could not accommodate SO
many without crowding and confusion.
Fifteen Of the cadets will appear as
the soldiers Of the beleagured garrison
and about thirty will be used as the
rescuing column dispatched by General
Crook. Several cadets have been de.
tailed to act the part Of Indians.

After the drill in the first act the
smaller cadets will be dismissed. II

In this way they will have the advant-
age Of their comrades, who are advant-
for the last act and will have to re-
main behind the scenes. -s
Everything at today's rehearsal went
well. The boys showed great adapta-
bility in meeting the changed condi-
lions which confronted them on the
stake and behaved admirably thru the
trying ordeal Of rehearsal. Every
thing points to perfectly smooth and
finished performance on the opening
night, Monday. .s. =.
From the interest which is being TAX

TO keep DAhDELIOMS
OUT OF The LAWNS

1t must have become apparent to
the most skeptically inclined during
the last few weeks that something
must be done to check the spread of
the dandelion nuisance if we would
save our lawns, for never before has
it's enemy been SO prevalent as it is
this spring. Last year the dandelions
were bad in the depot park, but this
season they are infinitely worse, in
fact, they are so bad as TO be plague
in all parts of town. In community
like this where vegetation of all kinds
is dependant upon irrigation for its
growth seeds of noXious plants are
conveyed with unusual readiness to
all parts of town by means of the wa
ter in the bitches and when they once
get footing it is extremely difficult
to exterminate them. Originally be-
ing brought here for their beauty the
dandelion has become nuisance that
only the most heroic measures can
root out and destroy.
Denver is to have an annual dan
delion day" when the citizens will turn
out in an effort to destroy a pest that
threatens to take the city. Unless
drastic measures are taken to pre-
vent its spread here Canon may have
to adopt a similar plan

list last year contained 1904 names,
good many of which were sent in
after the census man had made his
returns, by those who desired to OBJ
tain the ten cents which the board of
education offered for each name that
had been omitted by the official can
vasser. Under the incentive offered
for new names this year the 1906 list
ought TO at least reach the 1400 mark.
A good many people do not under
stand the object of taking the annual
school census and are reluctant to
furnish the information asked by the
canvasser, fearing that back of it. is
scheme of some sort in consequence
of which they are likely to suffer.
The purpose of such census is real
ly benevolent in its nature, as upon
its result is predicated the amount of
money the community receives from
the state school fund for educational
work. Each name on the list repre-
sents about five dollars, and District
No. /, with its 1890 persons of school
age, will draw from the public school
fund this year a total of $3.50 for
educational purposes.

THE COLLEGE QUESTION
OPEN TILL NEXT FALL

At a meeting of the Synod of Colo
RADIO nj Colorado Springs last Thurs
day the special committee charged
with the matter of founding a college
in this state to be under the control
OF the Presbyterian church, submitted
resolutions urging the establishment
of such an Institution, and that suit

a faculty of at least eight members of
recognized ability. with salaries for
five years be secured
The committee urged the board of
colleges of the Presbyterian church to
assist in the maintenance of the pro-
posed institution of learning and stat
ed that 1t shall not in any sense be
construed as antagonistic to any other
institution for higher education in
Colorado.
After discussion OF the matter the
synod decided to take no definite ac-
ton in relation to the college. until
its next meeting in October of the cur
rent year. The committee having in
charge the college. proposition is COM
posed of DR.. ]. l.. Weaver. Pueblo.

Denver and Colorado Springs are
both out OF the race for the location
of the college as each OF them has a
large institution OF learning already
established. Among the towns asking
for 1t are Pueblo. Canon City. Delta.
Montrose and Grand Junction.
