TRUSTEES SEEK LIGHT
Robert ". de Forest. counsel for
Mrs. Russell Sage, is chairman of the
incorporators and trustees of the Sage
foundation. Mr.. de Forest, who has
recently returned from abroad, ad-
mitted that he had been anxious to OBJ
tain knowledge on the subject of gov
ernmental life insurance and its cost
He said however. that the particular
task of investigating that subject and
reporting upon il had been delegated
TO DIR. Franklin.
And yet" said De Forest, athe trus-
tees have gone no further than to take
this step for the purpose of fani{iariz-
ing themselves with the possibilities
of supplying cheap life insurance to
the masses as a semiphilanthropic en-
terprise. AS was announced at the
time Mrs. Sage made the gift of s1o,-

fund is to endeavor by the most prac-
teal and uplifting methods possible to
help the poor TO help themselves rather
than to pauperize them by the mere
distribution of aims. One of the meth

The platform makers will have a
difficult time Of it in formulating a
statement Of principles. The union
labor leaders are busy and will at
tempt to secure an anti-injunction
plank in accordance with their ideas
on the subject. Both the brewers and
the Anti.Saloon League have estab-
lished Hobbies and the temperance
question may be injected into the con-
vention. The National Good Roads
Association will attempt to secure the
insertion of plank preaching the Cos

A full meeting of the national or

many mooted questions will be de-
cided.
Denver has never before been called
upon to entertain such vast crowds as
are in the city today, and as special
trains are still pouring thousands into
the city this morning, it is feared that
the obstetrics of the city will prove
inadequate for their proper entertain
ment. Many of the parties, however,
will sleep in Pullman cars.
The decorations Of the city are of
an elaborate nature and have elected
the praise of all the delegates and Yis-
itors. Bunting and flags have been
freely used on all the principal streets
and thousands of electric lights have
been strung. A feature which is at
tracing much attention is royal
tiger, papier mache, erected at the
principal street corner of the city.
The great auditorium, which will
seat 1880 people, with standing room
for many more, is fully completed and
in readiness for the opening of the
convention tomorrow. The committee
in charge has decided to prohibit the
use or sale of any variety of intoxi
cants within the hall, and those afflict
ed with chronic thirst will be forced
