Telegraph Companies and News
Gathering Agencies at Work.
DENVER, Colo. Jan. 25.-There
will be no lack of telegraph wires
by which to spread the glad tidings
of the nomination of Bryan when
the Democratic national convention
meets here next summer. The tel
egraph companies and the various
newsgatherlng agencies are already
at work, preparing for the many
additional wires that will be nec-
essary to handle the business. Con-
nection will be made with the main
Pacific trunk lines OF the telegraph
companies and railroad wires. II
is expected that not less than 800
newspaper representatives will be
here from all over the country.

ody for the suspicious event. The
entire staff of the Austro- Hungarian
embassy will come from Washington
clad in full regalia, to attend the
wedding. Count Szechenyi will play
the part of the happy bridegroom
clad in the spectacular uniform Of
the Austo-Hungarian Imperial Hus-
sars, including scarlet trousers, a
blue coat and much gold braid, and
wearing a jeweled-hilted sword in
gold and silver scabbard. There
will be scores of valuable presents
and the carefully selected guests will
be given a breakfast in the grand
dining room, surrounded by magnifi-
cent specimens of the paintings and
sculpture of men of genius, who
spent their lives In producing beauti-
full works of art to make a Wander
bilt holiday.
A Gordon of New York's finest"
will surround the Vanderbilt man
sion on the day of the wedding.
This action will be taken to prevent
a possible repetition of the dis
graceful incidents which marked the
marriage of Miss Goelet and the
Duke of Roxburgho, when the we'd
ding party was mobbed by a crowd
of excited women, which later in
vaded the church and carried away
all the portable decorations as SOU
venirs.
Another international Wedding
Three weeks from today New
York will have another International
wedding, when Miss Theodore
Shonts, the Chicago-born daughter
of the former commissioner of the
Panama Canal, will become a duch-
ess of the decadent and discredited
nobility of the French republic. The
public, but it is certain that Papa
Shots will find it necessary to make
financial settlement upon this
handsome but dissolute son-in-law
That Mr.. Shots, the hard-headed and
successful man of affairs and patri-
otto American, has found that Due
de Chaulnes a bitter pill to swallow
is known by all his associates. But
given an ambitious wife and a no.
mantle daughter, what could the
poor man do? Nothing more MOI
less than he has done-to open his
money bags and say, "Bless you
my children" with a transparent
affection of sincerity.

company, whose properties are locat-

Mr.. Seeley, when seen In relation
to the camp, said:
The Hodoo district is a compar-
atively old camp. Placer mining was
a paying proposition there sixty
years ago, and it is still worked TO a
good profit. The camp has always
been good. but l think next spring
will see 1t an exceptionally prosper
Gus camp, and ! believe there will be
a large rush for the Hodoo district
at that time, and that many proper

TOOK SHOTAT BURGLARS

An attempt was made by robbers
between three and four o'clock this
morning to burglarize the warehouse
at the rear OF the Neil Paul resi-
dence, and the burglary would have
been successful had not Night Officer
Evans happened to discover the bur
glars in their attempt.
The burglars when discovered by
Evans were in the alley back of the
warehouse, and had succeeded In I'M
locking the door, which is secured
by patent hdsp lock. The door had
been swung open and the burglars
were apparently Just getting ready
to make their entrance and loot the
place, when Evans came upon the
scene, and as soon as they saw him
they broke and ran. The officer
called upon them to halt but they
paid no attention to his command.
The officers followed them, at the
same time firing at them. In their
fight they followed the full length Of
the alley, and after leaving It cut
diagonally across a vacant lot near
the Baptist church, and made their
way around buildings situated in
this section and disappeared from
the officer.

SELL TRACTION SYSTEM
Lines In Chicago Pass Into Hands OF
New Corporation.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Under a de-
cree of foreclosure ordered by Judge
Peter s. Grosscup of the United
States circuit court, the properties
of the Chicago Union Traction COM
pany we're sold at auction at noon
today. The Chicago Railways COM
pany the holding company organized
to take over the franchise voted by
the city council some months ago,
was the only bidder. The foreclos-
ure sale and the purchase of the
properties by the new corporation
marks the end of the traction war.
fare which has been waged in Chi
cago for several years.
The sale was merely a form to
comply with the plan for the rehabil-
iation of the traction system. The
Chicago Railways company will give
its securities in exchange for the
stock of the old companies. The
lease Of the new corporation on all
the lines of street railway operated
by 1t will expire on February 2,
1927.
The sale was ordered by the court
under the consolidated foreclosure
suits of the Central Trust company
and the Guaranty Trust company of
New York and the Fidelity Trust
company of Philadelphia.
Following the acceptance on Feb
ruary / of the ordinance by which
the Chicago Railways company will
come into the possession of the trac-
ton properties affected by the scale.
the company will Immediately begin
the construction and improvements
Of the lines and service at a total
cost Of $4,000. 900. Within the
next three years it must rebuild at
least ninety miles of single track and
put into operation not less than
1900 new cars.
Nearly 10000 people, creditors,
bondholders and stockholders of the
old Union Traction system, are d.
rectly affected by the sale, while the
100000 people of Chicago will
also benefit by a better and bigger
traction system. The sale today was
held under the direction of H. w.
Bishop, who was appointed a spec
| ial master commissioner nv the
court.

The theory is advanced that the
burglars are the same persons who
broke into the hamburger stand be-
tween the ONCE and Central saloons
several nights ago. The burglars
found nothing in the Borst place that
they could take with them and left
1t unmolested. 1t was the opinion OF
Mr.. Borst at the time that they were
under the impression that liquors
were stored in the place. Weight is
lent to this theory by reason of the
fact that the building sought to be
burglarized last night is used as
liquor warehouse.
At the time that Officer Evans dis
covered the men Il was dark and the
figures could not be seen distinctly
enough TO be recognized. The ofIic-
er saw two men but is of the opinion
that there was also a third, who
worked In conjunction with them.
but that he succeeded in making his
way from the scene before being
discovered by the officer The officers
are working on the case, but state
that so far they are in possession OF
no clue which would lead to the iden-
tity Of the men.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Jan. 25.
d. c. Scott of this city received a
letter today from Albert E. Hors-
ley, alias Harry Orchard, written in
prison at Boise, where he is await
ing trial for the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg, which he has
confessed. Orchard was the princi-
pal witness at the trials of William
d. Haywood, secretary of the West
ern Federation OF Miners, and
George Pettibone, a former member
of its executive board. on the charge
of completely in the Steunenberg muir
der, which resulted in their acquit-
tails. The letter in part Is as fol-
lows:
II am trying to keep up as well as
can but feel very sad at times. But
never once have | regretted that !
have told the truth and made a clean
breast of my crimes, and would not
go back on one thing If by doing so
| could save my life and have my
liberty. / know that have been re-
leased from greater bonds than those
that now bind me. But II only
looked at 1t from a worldly stand
point, it would then look like the
man that done right when he was
convinced he was wrong got the
worst OF It.
Il do feel very kindly to those
of you who seem to appreciate what
have done to bring many dark
deeds to light, as ! feel that society
will be in a letter position TO protect
itself and even though the real men
responsible go clear. perhaps we
have done much good. l know that
have got a clear conscience now, as
] know ! can look up to my God and
sincerely say that / have made all
the earthly restitution within my
power"

THIRTY PEOPLE
ARE HELD UP
Lone HighWayman Enters Restau-
rants and RObs Cash Drawers

SPOKANE, WASH, Jan. Us
Covering 80 people with a big re-
volver which he held in his left hand
daring thug used his free hand to
rife the cash register in the New
York restaurant, conducted by Y.
Uyeda, a Japanese, at 22O Stevens
street, between Main an dFront ave-
nues, shortly after Z o'clock last
night, securing $11.80, about half
the amount in the till. Still keeping
the cowed throng at bay, the desper-
ado backed out of the place and fed
north on Stevens street, pursued by
two Japanese walters and several of
the occupants, who quickly recover
ed from their fright.
He's a holdup! Robber! Stop
him!" frantically shouted the pursu-
ers as they gave chase. Turning
east on Front avenue, the bandit
redoubled his speed, with his late
victims in hot pursuit. Attracted
by the fleeing figure and the cries of
the posse, pedestrians and bystand-
ers joined in the chase and soon the
thug had an excited mob following
close in his wake. The whole street
was in an uproar. People stuck
their heads out of hotel windows ana
merchants ran to their front doors.
No policeman was within sight or
hearing.
Still the chase continued, the pur-
sued highwayman maintaining a
good lead. Reaching Washington
street and Front avenue, the thug
turned, and facing the mob, leveled
his revolver at the foremost ones,
firing two shots straight into the
crowd No one was hurt, but the
pursuers fell oack, while the thug
continued on his way and disappear
ed over the Washington street via
duct.
The police were notified and Of
ficers patrolled Washington street
and searched the o. r. & N. yards,
but without success in locating their
man. Gust Linnan. a tough charac-
ter, was later picked up by Detective
Thompson and held as a suspect He
is said to answer the description of
the bandit.

BOYS ARRESTED
ON SUSPICION
Tried to Pawn Ring Stolen From
Petersen's Jewelry Store

Arthur Church and r. Il. Roy
we're arrested last evening and In
generated In the city Jail on suspic-
ion OF being implicated In thefts OF
jewelry from the Peterson Jewelry
store In December.
The theft OF the jewelry was COM
mitted during the holiday season. at
which time the store was crowded
with customers and at the end of a
days sale Mr.. Peterson discovered
that there was missing from his jew
elry a two stone diamond ring and
a gold bracelet, Yesterday the pro-
prietor OF the Horseshoe saloon came
into Peterson's jewelry store and
asked him to give his opinion upon
the value OF ring. As soon as the
ring was handed to MIR. Peterson for
examination he recognised II az the
ring that had been stolen, and Inn
mediately began to inquire as to
whom the ring belonged. He was
informed that It had been given to
the Horseshoe proprietor by Arthur
Church and Roy az security for q
loan.
Church and Roy when confronted
and asked for an explanation as to
the matter stated they had obtained
the ring In a trade with Hazel More
house young woman who recently
Joined the Salvation Army, and who
Is now living in Spokane in a home
provided for her by the army. Chief
OF Police McGovern departed for
Spokane this morning TO interview
the Morehouse woman and ascer-
tain her connection with the matter.
The theory is advanced that through
her may be located the stolen brace
