Woman Saw z Italians Apparent
ly Interested In Ascertaining
Identity Of Father Leo.
ASSASSIN CONFINED IN JAIL
On the Strength Of the Woman's
Statement the Police Tonight Took
Into Custody Mike Brunetti q
Roommate Of Guarnaccio.

DENVER, Feb. A.-St Elizabeth's
Catholic Church was desecrated by
the murder of Father Leo on Sunday
morning, was re-consecrated this af-
ternoon. The service was conducted
BY, Father Phillips, Chancellor of the
Diocese, he having been authorized in
telegram from Bishop Metz, who Is
now in Los Angeles, The blessing
today will be followed by re-consecra-
ton services upon the return of the
Bishop to this city. District Attorney
Stifger is arranging for a speedy
trial of the man who killed Father
Leo and who is now confined in jail
in Colorado Springs under a strong
guard. 1t is likely that he will be
brought back to Denver the latter
part OF this week and will-be arraign-
ed on information charging first de-
gree murder. Yesterday the murder
er said his name was Giuseppe Guar
naccio. From papers found in his
lodgings the police were lead to be-
lieve his name is Angelo Gabriel, but
it is now believed that the mans
right name is Giuseppe Alio, as de-
clared by him in statement made to-
day.
II developed tonight that a woman,
{ member of St. Elizabeth's Church,
today told one of the priests, that a
week ago she saw two Italians in
front of the church and one of them
was pointing toward Father Leo. She
is certain one of them was the muir
derer and that he was apparently in
terested in ascertaining the identity
of Father Leo. On the strength OF
this statement the police tonight took
into custody Mike Brunetti, a room
mate of Guarnaccio. The police are
now working on the theory that there
was a well-laid plot to murder Father
Leo had been laid by Guarnaccio and
some OF his associates, who are pos
sibly anarchists.

Argument Against the Pretended
Protection OF Salmon.
IMPOSITION ON THE PEOPLE
Columbia River Salmon Protective
Association Are the Men Who
Stand for the Abolition Of Salmon
Fishing at Head OF the Tide.

This bill. while pretending to be
for the protection OF the salmon OF
the Columbia, is q bill which the few
wealthy lishwheel owners OF the Up
per Columbia are presenting to the
voters in an cndcavor to retain the
unfair and destructive monopoly OF
catching salmon with hshwheels in
the narrows and at the falls OF the
Upper Columbia.
The initiative petitions for this bill
were started after the Columbia
River Salmon Protective Associa-
ton was organized for the purpose
Of stopping fishing for salmon in the
Columbia at head OF tide, that is
where the river becomes so narrow
that the fshwhcels catch nearly every
salmon that reaches these narrows
and falls,
The fishwheel owners, realizing
that throughout the State the senti-
ment for bona-hde salmon protective
legislation was growing, got up this
trick-bill for the simple purpose OF
confusing the voters.
None OF the fishwheel owners cared
to openly associate their names with
| this intended imposition upon the
| people. They evidently could not get
one man OF note to father it. So they
| got as sponsor, II. A, Webster, an
ex.dcputy FISH warden who was re-
Gently discharged because Governor
Chamberlain, Secretary of State Ben
son and State Treasurer Steele nc
doubt considered that the fisheries o.
our State could be served by a better
man.
| We deem il necessary for thor

| to plainly state who and what is be
hind this trick-bill.

vocate OF greed and wrong to s.
abrcvate quotations from the writing
and sayings Of authorities on an,
given subject, that the exact opposit

-t
HARMONY or PURPOSE

Has Sustained Practically the Same
Relations to the Administration as
he Did Before Leaving it.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-(Spec-
iaD-"SenatorKnox you have made

Young of Pittsburg. They were

words quoted above.
"You mean they are the greatest

estly replied Senator Knox to the
Presidents complimentary reference.
"Oh, no, do not make any such
exception" said the President.
The conversation between the Pres
ident and the senator was heard by
every person in the room, among
whom was delegation from Ken
tucky, and it created something OF a
sensation. When these visitors cana
away they were talking about it and
commenting upon the emphatic terms
of approval which the President ap-
Piled to Senator Knox's utterances.
To Senator Knox's friend there was
no surprise that the President should
have spoken in such high terms Of
these addresses while he was a
member of the cabinet Mr.. Knox was
looked upon as the spokesman of the
administration in matters relating to
the antitrust policy q the govern
'ment.
