State Adjutant Andrew Sandberg
of Clear Creek county.
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Miss Honore Maloney Of Dem

The action ofthe convention, which
is considered by all concerned as
most momentous, was the reading out

Denver county because of their al
legged subserviency to local utility
corporations The debate on this mat
ter lasted nearly the whole day and
the matter was before the credential
committee ofthe convention for near
" the entire night. The denomination
of Alva Adams was demanded in the
platform and was practically unop-
posed because of the general opinion
among the Democrats that he should
be vindicated in his claim that he was

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The war

issue of new rifles to the troops in the
United States. This marks the pass
ing of the carbine, so long a weapon
Of the cavalry branch of the service.
Both infantry and cavalry are now
being supplied with the same model
of rifles, modification of the model of
1903. This is about six inches shorter
than the Krag, and about two inches
longer than the carbine now being dis
carded by the cavalry.
For the present the rifles are being
used with rod bayonet, but later they
will be called in, when the new bayonet
recently decided upon will be substi-
tuted. The issue to the troops in the
Philippine Islands will follow, and
when that is done all the soldiers OF
the army will be armed alike.

SAN PEDRO, April 13.-With the be-
ginning of work on the reclamation of
a large tract of land by the Pacific
Wharf and Storage company on the
east side of the bay, there has sprung
into existence a chance for consider
able trouble between the company and
the squatters there.
There has been a score of these squat
ters scattered along the made lands for
long time, but now that work on the
tract has actually been begun a horde
of them have staked out claims on the
sand and will attempt to hold them by
force of possession, with the hope that
some easy money can be obtained from
the company in the purchase thereof.
Sutherland Hutton, the manager of
the new company, whA is now on the
tract with force of men, has been
approached already several times by
these people, offering to sell to him
their holdings, but he is obliged to
make the same reply to them all, that
he is not authorized to purchase.
In fact, If this company should begin
the purchase of these claims it would
soon have to buy every foot of sand,
even though it is practically valueless
until bulkhead is made to keep back
the tides which sweep over the whole
tract at times.
Some of these squatters hold their
claims at exorbitant prices. One man
insists that he must have $4,000 for
his small frontage before he will leave
it,
