STATEMENT OF ROBERT GUGGEN.
Helm, NEPHEW OF THE
SENATOR.

Denver.-Robert Guggenheim, of the
Denver for few days, says the Re-
publican of Friday. He has been in
specting the smelters of the company
in Utah and other western states and
is now en- route East He is son of
Daniel Guggenheim and Il nephew of
United States Senator Simon Guggen-
helm.
There is no truth whatever in the
report that has been sent abroad that
the Guggenheim interests have gone
into the control of Rockefeller" he
stated positively. There was no oc-
casion for such rumor, and it is en-
tirely without foundation. We expect
to go on with the smelling business
as before. Harry Guggenheim. my
brother, is now in Mexico learning the
business, and a cousin named Edmund
is making study of smelling at Salt
Lake CITY"
There had been a report to the eff
feet that the Grant and Omaha smell
ters in Denver would be reopened in
order to take care of ore shipped in
from Utah points and throughout Colo
RADIO. After comforting with Franklin
Guiterman here yesterday. Robert Gug-
genheim said this was scarcely prob
able at present. although there is a
possibility that II Will be done later.
Many of the big copper mines OPP
Grated in Utah are to be reopened soon
and these will be handled at the Gar
field smelling plant. This will crowd
the capacity of the plant to a great
extent. but Mr. GuGgenheim gives 1t
as his belief that the Garfield plant
will be able to handle the ore.
III the Garfield plant should not
prove OF sufficient capacity TO handle
all the ore sent II, We might either
enlarge that plant or open the smell
ters in Denver" he stated. The smell
ters here have been out of operation
for some time, but have not been en-
trely dismantled."
The Utah Consolidated Copper Com
pany will begin shipping its ores the
middle of this month. and just what
its output will be cannot be stated at
present. The Garfield plant is expected
TO develop capacity OF 5000 tons per
day. and II is ultimately expected to
produce an output of 100 .OOO. 900 pounds
OF copper per year. Copper can be
produced there very cheaply. at a cost
OF about cents pound.

tary of The interior to grant an extern

What About Lawyers7

A contributor to THE Pilgrims
Scrip" in the American Magazine
says: AT each turn in the compli-
Gated finance of business the dip but
definite trail Of a lawyer may be seen.
Each investigation brings out clearly
that at some point in deals or con-
tracts or arrangements that evade or
break laws one or more lawyers were
in active operation devising ways and
means to give these operations spe-
cious appearance of legality. or cover
up their real meaning. In some cases,
as in the Standard Oil investigation,
distinguished lawyers boast before the
open court OF their ingenuity In de-
feating the purpose OF the laws OF the
United States. In the Metropolitan
investigation you will find that every
ono Of those schemes that have de-
ceived or robbed the stockholders and
the public was invented by great
lawyer, and for huge fee. Abe Hum
mel, the criminal lawyer, was dis
barred for wrongful practices. What
is the Bar association going to do
about these others? We have found
that it is not the low criminals in
politics Chose who buy the privilege
to cater to vice) who are the real cor
ruptors. 1t Is the men of power.
who have larger game and by whose
sufferance the lower ones live. who
are defeating the aim and spiri: OF
democratic government. We are get
ting after them by fines, and sending
some to prison. But what about the
lawyers who help them? don't
mean the great mass OF honorable
lawyers. / mean the big and union
orable lawyers. Their studies OF
Justice and equity give them particu-
lar knowledge and a special perception
to the matters of human relations in
volved. They cannot plead custom
and inherited methods as their clients
do. They know.

JEALOUSY BRINGS DEATH.
Two Husbands Kill Their Wives and
Then Themselves.

Denver.-Jealousy, that most insidi-
Gus disease of heart and brain, have
Just brought about two tragedies in
Colorado, one in Denver and one in
Colorado City. Four deaths resulted,
the crimes being almost identical. In
each case the husband, yielding to
jealous rage that knew no reason,
went with gun in hand and shot down
his weak, defenseless wife. In each
case also the cowardly act was fol-
lowed by suicidal employment of the
same weapons, with successful effect.
The Colorado City tragedy was that
of Earl >Ryan, n laborer, who shot his
wife and then himself at the home of
his wife's mother. The shooting oc-

but the bodies were not found till

Gated that Ryan had drugged his wife,
taken her to an outhouse back of her
mothers residence and there ended her
life and his own with revolver.
Jacob KoretZky, of 1865 Decatur
street. Denver. Thursday took the life
OF his wife and himself, leaving two
helpless children to look out upon the
world for future support. Jealousy
was the ruling passion in this case, as
in the other. koretzky thought his
wife unfaithful and was afraid she was
going to New York with the children.
A week ago he is Sc i'd to have threat
ened her life. Thursday he shot her
down in cold blood, in the presence of
third party.

Because the daily news - about
human beings and is collected and
edited by human beings. 1t is rich to
whoever reads 1t with a philosophical
eye. The New York Globe puts into
one paragraph events selected from
two days of news" and concludes
that human nature has not lost its
capacity for originality. These are
some of the events: "A Russian
who had lost his sweetheart, and an
swered 'Freda' to every question put
to him. was on that account arrested
as a burglar. An automobilist, to save
. child. ran his automobile into . pile
of bricks. thereby endangerins the
lives OF two who were driving with
him. A mother found her son trying
to hang himself, and used the rope to
give him a thrashing. Thieves ran
away with Thanksgiving turkey; the
owner. = woman OF so, mounted a bi'
cycle. gave chase and recovered the
bird" The trivial events OF the hu
man drama make interesting vaude

greatly interested. and for many days
she did not tire Of talking about them.

eNoWsLIDE RURIEs TWO.
Greek Miners Struck by slide Near
Telluride.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Telluride Wednesday night says: Two
Greeks, Gus Angelo and Gus Zangos,
who were buried in snowslide late
last night at the Lewis property, in
Bridal Veil basin, eight miles from
Telluride, are believed to be dead.
A rescuing party started for there to-
day on snowshoes but late tonight 1t
had not been heard from.
The Lewis property is operated by
Bulkeley Wells and Tom Livermore
and there are four groups of claims.
The slide which came down last night
struck the hoist house, tearing most
of it away.
Two other Greeks were working in
the hoist house at the time and were
carried with the slide part way down
the mountain. They were so frightened
that they made no effort to get back
to the hoist house or find their COM
panions, but kept on through the storm
and deep snow and reached Telluride
this morning in an exhausted condi-
ton, much frightened by their terrible
experience.
From their report 1t is believed that
their companions were caught in the
building and buried alive. There is
little probability that they will be
found alive, unless the woodwork of
the hoist house has held the snow
which was soft and light. of their
bodies and saved them from smother
ing. The entombed men are unmarried.
While other smaller slides occurred
last night. the only serious one re-
ported was the Alta, which came down
while the miners were in the boarding
house at supper. A part of the house
was carried away and several of the
men had narrow escapes, but none was
injured and all went farther down the
mountain TO spend the night.
The Greek who was unconscious
when dug cut of slide late yesterday
regained consciousness today. 1t is
now believed that he will recover.
The storm has practically subsidized,
but traffic is still tied up. Many OF the
telephone lines which were torn down
have been repaired. There is consid-
cradle danger OF other slides in the
outlying camps and precautions are be-
ing taken by the miners.

Tho Effort of His Life a Failure


W. S. Gilbert had novel experience
before he wrote for the stage. when
he was barrister waiting for his first
brief 1t was long in coming, and
when it did come Mr. Gilbert deter
mined, of course. to make the effort of
his life.
He was intrustcd with the prosecu-
ton of an old Irish woman for stealing
a coat. and when he began the speech
that he had prepared and rehcarsed SO
carefully. the old dame at once began
to interject: "Oh. We divil. sit down"
Sure, now, he's loier, yer honor!" "Sit
down, we spalpeen!" Hes known to
all the perlice, yer honor" After some
minutes of this abuse Gilbert asked
the recorders Intervention, but that Of
fetal was too busy laughing. So the
effort of his life was not success.
