unknown DEAD MAN
IN WOMAN'S CLOTHES

Denver, Colo, June 1O.-What Is
the strange story that lies hidden be-
hind the dead face of a man found
dead in a Larimer street rooming
house yesterday morning fully dress
ed?
When the unknown was stripped
by Coroner Rollins after the body
was taken to the morgue the man
was found to have a woman's COM
plete outfit of undergarments beneath
his ragged mans suit.
Therefore the police are asking
What was the story2 and was It
nary?
The man left no papers or cards to
give the slightest clue to his identity.
There was no mark on either his or
the Woman's clothes both well worn.
The woman's garments were once Of
fine fabric and evidently very costly.
silk stockings and lace trimmed gar
ments were on him although rather
worn. Were they given him by some
woman who took pity upon his ~estl-
tute circumstances, or were they
merely stolen from a clothes line
while a wealthy woman of fashion
was waiting for the return Of her
laundry? Whatever the manner in
which he got the clothes the dead
man at the coroner's tells no tales
and the mystery will die as he died
unexplained. The death occurred
| in the rooming house at Los Larimer
street The man called there night
| before last and had just enough
money to buy a cheap bed. He seem
| ed i'll, and the death is believed to
| be due to exposure and exhaustion,
| The man was middle aged.

MOST ROMANTIC
E|lF|GURE ON
STAGE
A Cinderella Who Prefers an
Automobile to Pumpkin
Coach and is an Ex-
pert Driver.
HER RISE DUE TO
DEVUltD MOlHtR
Made Her Debut Seven Years AGO
at Age of II at Nothing Per
Week--GetS Enormous
Salary Now and
Earns 1t too.

Columbus, Ohio, June S.-The
story of Elsie Janis, the newest star
in the theatrical armament, who is
now spending part of her vacation at
her home in Columbus is the ro-
mantle tale of a little girl who could
make faces, and by making faces in
imitation of others has risen in seven
years from a little unknown in whose
home ii was sometimes hard to make
both ends meet. to one of the most
talked of stars on the stage, and to
wealth.
It's a story like another Cinderella,
only Elsie has chosen an automo-
bile instead of the pumpkin coach of
the fairy tale.
Now, Miss Janis has all that heart
can desire and she says Il often rub
my eyes and wonder how it has all
come about-sometimes | think it
must be a dream
Seven years ago she made her stage
debut with a stock company in Co
lumbus. her home city, and got moth
ing for it, unless the privilege of
appearing be counted.
Now she is one of the foremost
stars of the land, is independently
well off, and constantly growing rich
er. She gets $4,000 a week when she
works.
Then she was Il; now she's 1S.
Miss Janis and her mother spend
their vacations in Columbus, at Elsie $
cosy little home, FL Jan, on North
High street II was bought with
money earned on the stage. Much of
the little stars money is invested in
real estate. While in Columbus she
divides her time between Ell Jan and
her automobile-about half and half,
TN crazy on automobiling," she
says, "and | call my machine the
Gray Streak Yes sir. l run it my
self. You see when I'm at home l
rest like this l get up at noon then
play the piano and make everybo dy
miserable until they send me out in
the automobile. Then it's the Gray
Streak for mine the rest of the day.
She is to go to Philadelphia soon
and appear in vaudeville in Klaw 4
Erlangers Preston street house.
I'VE are going to make the trip
from Columbus in my auto, if the
weather is good" she said. My en-
gagement i'm Philadelphia is for three
weeks, at $4,000 a week.
"And the $4,000 a week salary is
straight" put i'm Miss Janis mother
who is also her daughters business
manager and constant companion.
There is no per cent to be paio
back from it and l am told that II
is the largest salary ever paid any
individual on the stage, outside OF
grand opera
In Philadelphia Miss Janis will ap'
pear i'm an act about 80 minutes long
twice a day, six days a week, fol
three weeks and get $4,000.
Think of it-$12 a minute.

After reading the public statement
Of this representative citizen of Albu-

to this effect some four years ago,

OPENING OF YUMA
LANDS TO SETTLERS
Government Dam for Irrigation Will
Be Completed Before White
Man Gets in.

The opening day of the Yuma In
dian reservation for settlement that
was announced to take place this
summer has been postponed until
next year, when the big government
dam that is being built at Laguna,
is completed.
This dam will shut off enough
water from the Colorado river to ir-
rigate both the Indian reservation
and the entire Yuma valley.
The reclamation service saw no
need of placing the reservation land
in the hands of the white man until
sufficient land could be put under ir-
rigation to cultivate the soil.
AS work on the big dam has been
delayed almost a year by the break
in gof the Colorado below Yuma, the
irrigation scheme that was intenued
to be in operation not later than Sep
tember of this year will not be com
pleted until the following summer.
The dam site is located a few miles
above Yuma and the project con-
sists of a huge Wler that will be
thrown across the Colorado at that
point.
This will divert a large percent of
! the water of the river into irrigation
canals on both the Arizona and Cali
| fornia sides of the river and it Will
| then be run down into the Yuma
and California valleys.

Before the Indian land is thrown

The remainder of the reservation

square miles on the California side OF

A few RECRUITS

I'VE are about twelve men short

this morning, and now is a fine
chance for new members to enlist in
the National Guard.
THE advantages OF military
training are inestimable to a young
man. In the National guard he has
the opportunity of developing him
self physically and of acquiring much
uSef full knowledge, all free of charge.
The members of the guard have the
use of a gymnasium and shower
baths; he is provided with "a uniform
and all the necessary equipment Of a

and has every opportunity for becom-
ing a marksman. We have rifle prac-
tice both In the armory and on the
range.
Qualifications.
"Any able-bOdied man between the
ages of Is and A years can enlist.
The enlistment Is for two years and
once a year the guards go 10 Las
Vegas for the territorial encamp-
ment. This in itself is a pleasant
outing and it doesn't cost the enlisted
man a cent Besides he draws reg
ular soldiers pay.
I'VE hope to get the new armory
before a great while, though nothing
has been done about IL yet, and then
there will be still greater advantages
for the guards both I'm a military and
social way. Beginning with the neXt
