leading colleges and universities of the
United States, as well as of the Cen

While the school has an excellent
reputation not only in Colorado. in the
United States and abroad, and while
to many it seems to be the leading
school of it's kind in the world, yet,
In order to be above criticism it should
possess a department not now possess
ed by any mining school. All schools
have departments of ore dressing and
| metallurgy, but they are entirely on a
purely laboratory scale. The thing
needed is a large ore-dressing and
metallurgical experimental plant OF
| commercial size, capable of handling
ore in carload lots. Such department
would consist of four parts: Sanpling
| mill, ore-dressing plant, mill for anal.
gamation cyanidation and chlornfa
ton, and roasting and smelling sec
tion.
Such a plant would enable the stu

with the real problems of their pro-
| fession. in their commercial and scien-
| tific aspect. 1t would give them an

UNCLE SANS FLEET SAILS.
Stirring Scenes as President Roose.
welt Watches 1t Depart

Old Point Comfort, Va.-Sixteen
hard hitting, steel belted American
battleships, gun bristling and burly of
girth, but sparkling white in their i'm
mediate dressings of peace, sailed
away Monday under the dazzling sun
of cloudless winter sky on their ia
nous twin-sea expedition of IA 900
miles. along foreign shores and chang
ing climates, to the west coast of the
United States.
President Roosevelt from the
bridge of his cruiser-yacht, the May
flower. personally led the magnificent
four mile line of fighting vessels dur
ing the first stage of the voyage.
From the anchorage ground in
Hampton Roads to the Horseshoe
bend of Chesapeake bay his eagle
crested flag of blue pointed the way
to the fleets new home ct the Golden
Gate.
The blue of the sky, the stretch OF
green sea miles, the glistening Of
spotless hills, the squirt of foam
crested bow waves, the cheering of
sailors afioat and friends ashore, the
breeze-blown strains Of "Auld Lang
Syne." floating across the waters, the
blare of trumpets, the ruffle of drums,
the flash of signals and the boom of
saluting cannon marked the departure
of the fleet, presenting to the people
who watched a spectacle they will
never forget and to the world at large

equipped, most mobile and self-reliant

Attaches of foreign legations and

correspondents who have seen war
service on foreign journals freely de-
clared that today's naval display was
the most impressive they had ever
seen The facility with which the big
vessels were handled, the manner in
which they were maneuvered into sim
gle column formation and the perfect
alignment which was maintained to
the southwark turn from the cape
called out the warmest admiration.
The thrill Of the beautiful marine pic
lure was felt until the last wind blown
spiral of smoke was lost on the hori-
Zon.
The sailing of the fleet was pre-
ceded by a reception on the deck of
the Mayflower, which shortly after
eight O'Clock this morning steamed
into the center of the anchored fleet.
Following are some of the salient
facts in regard to the long cruise:
Number of battleships, 16; distance
to be covered, $4,000 miles; number
of torpedo boats, 6; men aboard ships,
$4,000; probable time of trip, 1876

EVANS MAY VISIT COLORADO.
Sister Of the Great Admiral at Colo,
RADIO Springs Anticipates His
Comma.

Denver-A Republican special from
Colorado Springs Sunday night says:
"Fighting Bob" Evans, who sails to-
morrow in command of the Pacific
bound fleet, will, according to his pres
ent plans, visit Colorado Springs after
the completion of the cruise around
the Horn. He will come here to visit
his sister, Mrs, b. Zevely of % East
Columbia street.
Rear Admiral Evans will retire as
vice admiral in August after having
completed the long cruise. He will be
met by his wife in San Francisco and,
according to letter received by his
sister q few days ago in which he out
lined his plans, he expects to return
overland to his home in Washington.
He has promised Mrs. Zevely to stop
in Colorado Springs for a visit If pos
sible. This will bring him here early
in September.
Admiral Evans has been West only
once before and that was on a flying
trip in 1901 when he was detailed to
act as one of the judges in a court
martial at San Francisco. He passed
through Denver at that time, but did
not come to Colorado Springs. Mrs.
Zevely went to Denver to meet him.
Il wish ! had large flag to fly to-
morrow" said Mrs. Zevely this after
noon. Thereupon her little six-year-
old granddaughter, Marjorie Williams,
produced a little flag which she had
purchased for Christmas, and said:
Il will hang this from the house
and every one will know that Uncle
Bob is taking his fleet out to sea to-
day"

There have been a great many
stories as to how Robley got his
name" said Mrs. Zevely. 1T has been
said that it dates back to his school
days at Annapolis and also that it was
due to various incidents in his later
naval life, but the episode which really
gave him the name Fighting Bob
occurred in Chile about fourteen years
ago. At that time he was sent to
command vessel anchored at Val
paraiso and representing the United
States government. 1t was at the
time of an insurrection and there had
been some trouble with the marines
Word was sent to him by the Chilean
government that he would have to sail
within certain time. He immedi-
ately sent back word in rather forcible
language that he would remain where
he was as long as it pleased him, and
that IL any one wanted to come and
drive him out he would be at the driv-

NEW TARGET RECORDS

Washington, Oct. 15.-Rear Admiral
Evans, in command OF the Atlantic
fleet, and Commander W. S. Sims, the
feet expert on target practice, came
to Washington simultaneously today.
Commander Sims made a report of
the target firing to the secretary of
the navy. From this report 1t appears
that in some cases 33 per cent was
made by the big guns-that is. the
twelve-inch guns. The rest of the FIR
ing was fully up to the average. The
whole practice was successful.
Commander Sims reports especially
as TO the Georgia, which is the pride
of the navy. There is a little hitch
about the six-inch guns; they would
not work well. but the error was dis
covered before the guns were fired and
will be remedied.
This report disposes of all the stories
that the ships were practically put out
of commission by extraordinary &C
ton of the guns, straining of decks and
blowing out of windows.
Admiral Evans came here to talk
about the preparations OF the fleet. He
said he fully expected to go in COM
mand of the fleet TO the Pacific. and
in this he was backed up by many Of
the naval officers. He does not expect
TO remain in command after August Of
next year, however.

WABASH FANS SEE
VICTORY SATURDAY
Majority Think That Fast
Team Will Outclass the
Michigan Giants.
COACH CAYOU IS CONFIDENT
Sohl of Hammond to Do Puntine
During Game - Is in
Great Form.
(By Spot" Blair.)

Charlottesville. Ind, Oct 16.-Coach
Francis NJ. Cayou of the Wabash col
lege football team is using every effort
TO whip the team into shape for the
Michigan contest on Saturday.
The fact that Wabash only defeated
Purdue to o last Saturday does not
show any particular weakness on the
part of Wabash. Wabash was pen
allied over seventy-five yards during
the game This was caused by the
men being over-eager and getting off
side. When time was called Wabash
had the ball on Purdue's three yard
line with a first down in front of them.
The ball would have in all probability
been pushed over for touchdown.
Today Cayou sent his Michigan line
up against the scrubs and this comhi-
nation tore through the heavy scrub
line for three touchdowns in twenty
minutes. This work pleased the fans
and unless anything unforeseen should
happen. the fans see a good chance to
beat Michigan.
Reports from the Wolverine camp
about the weight and speed of their
line and backs is not worrying the
Big Chief" a particle He believes
Z
Searlit will overcome the weight of the
Yost machine.
Sohl of Hammond, is counted on by
the chief" to gain many yards with
his good right foot. Sohl has shown
wonderful form in his punting of late.
In the Purdue game his punt of sixty
yards was the direct cause of the
safety being registered against the
BOILER Makers HargraVe the agile
little quarter is expected to keep the
Michiganders on the jump when he
starts on one of his lodging runs.
The probable lineup for the game
will no doubt consist Of the following
men: Dobbins and Hess, ends; Gipe
and Sunderland, tackles; Watson and
| Bowman. guards; Sprow, center; Col
bert and Sohl half-backs; Starbusk
full. and Hargrave, quarter. The sub
| stitutes who will be given a chance to
play in the game are: Barr and vii
| son, guards; Diddle, Pearson, Burns
and Patton, ends; Glosscock, Gaiver
Romine, Stein and Quick, backs; Brown
| center
Manager Files has wasted no effort
in making this game a success. New
bleachers have been built at Washing
| ton park, Indianapolis, IN order to ac-
commodate the crowd. There is &
seating capacity of 10000 people. AL
the railroads and interurbans have is
sued special rates for the game or

AS Wabash has guaranteed Michigan
! $4,000, for this reason they hope tC
make the venture a success both f1nan-
cially and otherwise.

Fish cannot win unless he IS able to

both the disputed and undisputed stock

The legal battle Ringing upon the
motion for a modification OF the re-
straining order was waged all day
before Judge Ball The order finally
granted was the one presented soon
after court opened by the attorneys
representing Mr.. Hartman. 1t was
met by counter proposition from Mr..
Fishs lawyers, in which they asked
that the annual meeting be postponed
until the injunction suit could be
fought out on its merits. Had this
been upheld by the court it would have
given the Fish contingent more time
in which TO solicit proxies.
One proviso in the order 8 agreed TO
ii that proxy committee be chosen so
that the interests of each side Will be
safeguarded. 1t was stipulated that
Mr.. Fish select a man agreeable to the
Hartman forces, while they in turn
chose one not Objectionable TO Mr.. Fish
Then both sides were to agree on a
third member of the committee.

ALSO AFTER BLASPHEMERS
Dr.. R. II. Patterson Startles Assembly
in Philadelphia When Views
Are Announced.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 16.-The Rev.
DR.. Robert NJ. Patterson, a minister of
the Presbyterian church, who is well
known in Albany. Chicago, and Phil
adelphia, and who has lived in NAL
vers, a suburb of this city, since his
retirement from the ministry several
years ago, caused an uproar in the
Presbytery that met here today by de-
claring that the death penalty should
be inflicted upon all heretics. bias
phemers, and correspondents in all d.
vorce cases.
Persons who sought out affinities
should be harshly dealt with by law,
said DR. Patterson. and the death pen
atty should be established as the pun
ishment for attacks on women.
DR.. Patterson had been scheduled on
the program of the Presbytery for
speech on John Calvin.
Wants Death for Many.
The first thing he said when he got
up to speak was:
IF I had my way about it I would
have an executioner called in to deal
with all heretics and blasphemers.
Burning at the stake would be too
good for those who reviIe religion and
take the Lords name in vain. The
growth of heresy is such today that
nothing but measures like this can
stop it.
Il would requisition the services of
the executioner also for those de-
spicable persons who make divorce ne
cessary by their insidious machina
tion between husband and wife.
And for those who, under the guise
of an artistic temperament or uncon-
trollable fascination take unto them
selves aff1nities. forsaking their lawful
wives, I would have the law recon-
mend harsh punishment. Execution
also should be the punishment for at
tacks on women"
When DR.. Patterson had finished
speaking the Rev DR.. John Wheaton,
the pastor of Mizpah Presbyterian
church of Philadelphia. rose to de-
clare that such pronouncements were
too radical for expression in the pres
ent day.
Near Clash Over Views.
The Rev. r. c. McCook, formerly
pastor Of the Presbyterian tabernacle,
got to his feet with some heat and de-
clared that instead of being radical,
Or. Patterson was ultra-conservative.
He had harked back to the thought of
middle ages, said DR.. McCook, and his
ideals were those of the inquisitors In
Spain and the anti-papa1 religionists
of Germany.
There is no man in the Presbyterian
church like DR.. Patterson today,
hope" said DR. McCook in conclusion
This aroused DR.. Patterson's ire and
he started to make a spirited reply
Others tried to speak at the same time
and the meeting was in an uproar. The
moderator presiding pounded for order
and announced that to preserve the
peace of the meeting further discus
sion on DR.. Pattersons speech would
not be allowed.

ILLINOIS SENATORS
VOTE ON DRAINAGE
Recommend Passage Of
Bill Dividing Drainage
District in Two.
MUCH OBJECTION TO MEASURE
JUL and Schmidt Call it "Monstrous
Crime Against Chicago"-Chi-
cago Edison Co. Interested.

Springfield, Ill, Oct. 15.-Chicago's
Sanitary District was bludgeoned and
garroted this afternoon in the Senate,
then dragged to the edge OF the legs
lative precipice, where is was left
hanging over the verge.
The Chicago Edison company com
mitted the deed in the interest of its
electric lighting and power monopoly
in Chicago.
What was and still is the Sanitary
District will be no more If the work
set on foot by the Senate combine"
this afternoon is completed according to
indication of programme.
For the senate, in committee of the
whole, recommended for passage by
fourteen to nine a bill that practically
cuts the district in two parts, removing
the part below Loekport and prevent
ing its extension or the development of
water power south of it's plant at Lock-
port
Owing to the lack Of a quorum the
bill was not sent to second reading,
but the leaders of the combine-Ber-
ry, Gardner and Barr-showed their
hands for the proposition and assert
tonight they will be able to put the
measure through.
Senators JUL and Schmidt in vain
pleaded with the Senators Not to COM
nit this monstrous crime against Chi
cago," but their appeals fell on the
ears of lawmakers deaf to anything but
the alluring addresses of the Economy
Light and Power company, wing of the
Chicago Edison, which through the DILL
sees its chance to prevent condemra-
tion Of it's property by the Sanitary
District.
That the bill raises such a bar was
declared on the floor of the Senate,
where 1t was pointed out that, in lack
ing authority to develop water power.
remove distractions and alter the chan
mel, the district will lose the basis for
it's suits to condemn the Economy COM
