Mrs. Thaw to Help Denver College.

Denver.-Mrs. William Thaw, mother
of Harry Kendall Thaw. the slayer OF
Stanford White, and herself a million
are many times over, has given assur-
aEces that she will give $4,000 to the
new Westminster University of Den
yer. which is designed to become the
Princeton of the West, and has also
assured those In charge of raising sub
scriptions for the college that If the
drain on her fortune, occasioned by
the Thaw trial, is not too great the
amount will be made 100000 inside
OF year.
That a portion of the Thaw fortune
is to be diverted to educational uses in
Colorado is the assurance that comes
from the recently adjourned meeting
OF the Gunnison presbytery held at Sa-
Ida, where announcement was made
that Mrs. William Thaw had pledged
herself to contribute $4,000 to the
Westminster university.
The generosity of the wealthy Pitts
burg woman. who takes time even in
the great trouble that enfolds her to
think of a means to help Others, is the
first noteworthy fruit of the campaign
that is being made by the directors of
the Westminster college for $1,000

ment fund.

House Blown Up.

Denver-With a shock that shook
the earth for blocks around, accompa-
MED by a report that aroused all the
residents in the neighborhood, accu-
mulated gas in the residence of John
Clapp, 179 West Cedar street, exploded
Monday night, completely wrecking
the house and setting fire to the debris.
John Matz, son-in-law of Clapp, and
Charles Frisby, a friend, were in the
house at the time. Both We're in the
kitchen when the explosion occurred
Frisby was hurled through the rear
door and buried in the wreckage, while
Matz was thrown into an adjoining
room. The clothes of both men caught
fire, and before they could be eXtin-
guished they had sustained injuries
that necessitated their removal to the
county hospital. Frisby is progressing
nicely, but Matz is in a serious condi-
ton.
That Matz escaped incineration on
the spot is regarded as almost miracu-
louS.

Sleep and Old Aqe.

There is no question that the
quantity of sleep required steadily dim
inishes from infancy to old age. This
is rather interesting exception to
the general rule that, as in SO many
matters. old age returns to the needs
of infancy. AS regards sleep, says
London Pail Mall Gazette, old age is
more remote in its needs from infancy
than is any other period of life. II
elderly people obtain good sleep dur.
ing the first few hours, and il they
have not lost that delight in reading
which we all had in youth, but which
SO many of us curiously lose, their
case is not to be grieved over. The
special value of the earliest hours OF
sleep, by the way, has been proved by
psychological experiment. The popu.
lar phrase beauty sleep" is well war
ranted 1t is the early (the deepesD
hours OF sleep that make for health
and beauty.

the wreck. Five persons were hurt,
but almost through a miracle, Mrs.

the only one seriously injured.
1t was an hour before the people
were all disentangled. Some were ly-

top of them and other spectators lying
on top of the seats. The injured were
attended to as fast as they were taken
out by the ambulance surgeon. Fully
fifty were slightly bruised and cut, but
none, excepting Mrs. Bare. was hurt
badly enough to go to hospital.

Two Thousand Troops Are Already on
Their Way to Enforce Mex

Mexico City.-It ia known here that
war between Mexico and Guatemala is
imminent and may be declared by the
Diaz government within a week. AL
ready troops are moving to the Guate-
malan frontier Minister of Foreign
Affairs Mariscal made a formal de-
mand upon the Guatemalan President
for the surrender of Gen. Jose Maria
Lima, whom Mexico accuses of hiring
the assassins who murdered former
President Barillas in this city two
weeks ago.
The demand recites that Barillas was
making Mexico his refuge from his
successor, President Cabrera, and
other political enemies, who sought his
life. Investigation, it adds, has shown
that Cabreras friend, General Lima,
paid the transportation of the two mnr.
derers from Guatemala to Mexico, wi
the understanding that they were 10

their reward
Through this act, says the minister's
note, Lima committed grave offense
against the Republic of Mexico. He de-
mands that the Guatemalan govern
ment arrest the general forthwith and
hold him until Mexican soldiers can

penalty for refusal to deliver Lima,
Mexico warns, will be the severance of
diplomatic relations between the two
countries.
In palmer language, the minister
threatens war Two thousand troops
are already on their way to the Guate-
malan line to enforce Mexico's de-
mand. More are under orders to mo-
bilize in readiness for hurry orders to
the frontier and the railroads have
been given notice that they may be re-
Questioned for the transportation of
troops and supplies at any time. Some
fear is expressed in official circles here
that Guatemala may have already de-
termined not to accede to the ex-
pected demand.

President Cabrera. 1t is even said that
he is the power behind the throne and
the real ruler of Guatemala. in which
event the little Central American coun-
try would even risk disastrous war
with her more powerful neighbor
rather than surrender him.
The Daiz government still talks
peace, but 1t is known that unless a
prompt acquescence to the demand
upon Guatemala is made the Mexican
minister will be recalled within a week
Hostilities would probably follow with

Shire Declares He Is Guilty.

Butte, Mont.-When Jack Shire, thal
selfconfessed murderer of Maurice,
Caplan, was shown the statement OF
his aged mother that she could fur
nish an alibi which would clear him of
the crime, he said:

said: ooh, pshaw. l was on the

woman who came from Denver with
him. He says he wants to see her
again before he dies and will send for
her when he gets back to Denver.

CIoudburst Kills Many.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Seven people
cloudburst Monday at Capitol Hill, II
suburb
Many persons camped on the low
lands near the river were caught IN
awares and had but little time to
escape. The river is bankfull and it
will be some time before it can be de-
termined whether any lives were really
lost
Following the cloudburst there was
another heavy rainfall, which caused
the river to rise higher, endangering
property in the lowands.
Three thousand people live on Capt.
tol hill, which lies south of the North
Canadian river, opposite Oklahoma
City. The hill is drained into small
stream called Lightning creek, which
enters the river just below Oklahoma
City. The water came down the creek
and covered the lowlands in such vol
ume as to force out people living in
tents, shanties and small houses upon
the low ground.
Oklahoma City proper was not at all
endangered.
An area covering several square
ands of dollars damage to railway and
farm property. Railway traffic is par
alyzed One mile of Santa Fe tracks
out of Oklahoma City have been
washed out. The Canadian river is ris
ing rapidly and people in the lowlands

To Connect Arid Lands Into Forests.

To convert the arid wastes of gov
eminent land into beautiful groves OF
walnut trees at a cost that will be in
significant in proportion to value re-
ccived in after years, is the plan Of NJ.
G. w. Roberts, real estate dealer
of Yanliton. South Dakota. Mr.. Rob
erts is in Denver on private business.
but while here will try to interest the
government officials in the project.
For years Mr.. Roberts has been eX-
perimenting with walnut trees and
after investigating the scarcity of hard
lumber. conceived plan of supplying
the world, at the same time creating
beautiful parks all over the West.
81 think all the reserve land of the
state of Colorado can be planted in
walnuts and in time will be worth
millions of dollars" said Mr. Roberts.
This is no experiment with me, as
have planted two walnut groves within
two and half miles of Yankton, South
Dakota. There to-day you will find ID
forest of beauty. and the same can be
done by the United States for Colorado.
be worth more than you can estimate
at this time
The method employed by Mr.. Rob
erts for planting the walnuts was sim
pie. Carrying a bucket Of the nuts on
his arm he would walk the length of
the field, and dropping nut would
push it into the earth with his heel.
Soon the forest grew, but twice they
were destroyed by forest fires, only to
come up again from the roots
Farmers in the vicinity of Yankton
are becoming interested in the mat
ter and are lending their aid in beau
titying the South Dakota wastes. AS
soon as the success of these forests be-
come known, Roberts believes. the
habit will spread all over the West
with the result that years hence the
United States will be supplying tho
wcrld with hard walnut timber.

Even the wolves are enjoying the
present era of prosperity. The gov
ernment has issued bulletin in
which is shown the flourishing condi-
tion of the coyotes on the western
cattle ranges and of the larger wolves
known as "loafers," or "lobos." The
natural food of these beasts of prey
was the buffalo, but they find cattle
and horses a satisfactory substitute
Cattle are preferred; not that the
wolves have any prejudice against
eating horse-flesh, but because the old
method of attack from the rear
which they practised on the buffalo
Is equally successful with range
steers. When they try it on horses.
however. they meet with painful
surprise. How serious is the pest of
wolves, remarks Youths Companion,
may be gathered from the fact that
Wyoming alone has paid out $65, 900
IN bounties in the last ten years, and
this makes no account of the sums
paid by counties and stockmens as
sociations. The cattlemen reckon
their losses to be about ten per cent
of the herds. Great organized neigh
borhood wolf-hunts on the western
ranges have been advertised all over
the east during the past winter.
