Denver, May ARRESTED as
one of the pair of bandits who
held up the cashier and robbed
the Citizens State bank at Chau-
tauqua, Kans., on April II, of 3d.
600. William Tenant is alleged
to have confessed in the Office Of
Captain of Detectives Loomis to
part in the job, and returned
all he still possessed Of the loot,
amounting to 1888.
The prisoner was arrested by
city detectives who found him at
the home Of Mrs. Sarah j. Stur-
ceon, in Jerome Park, where he
had been living for about two
weeks.
The reckless manner in which
he spent money created gossip
and this reached the ears Of the
police. His arrest and alleged
confession followed.

"Glenwood, health resort win
ter and summer" was the key
note Of speeches delivered before
the town board by Messrs. Smith
of the Hotel Glenwood and Lee
Of the Grand in asking the COOP
Grafton of the city towards max
ing the newly inaugurated adver-
tising campaign pronounced
success.
The board was more than will
ing to give 5000 this year in
monthly installments, as soon Is
the subject had been broached,
but Mayor Drach questioned it
solely on the ground of "wether
or not the town can afford it. ;"
In addressing the board Mr..
Smith said:
81 am here tonight represent
ng the board of trade, which
wants the town to give $50
month for twelve months for the
purpose Of purchasing literature
for distribution by H. W Rich
ards, who, as you know, is now
IN Denver and will remain there
for a year boosting Glenwood.
The Hotel Colorado has spent
much money in advertising and
is prepared to spend 1920 this
year. The board of trade feels
that something should be done for
this side of the river.
GA portion of this money, if it
IS secured. will be spent for pic
lures of Glenwood, that will be
placed in the principal hotels Of
the country and in railroad sta
tions, so that people idling about
will have the notion of coming to
Glenwood put in their heads. And
once we get them here the rest is
easy"
Mr.. Lee of the Grand took the
hooor and spoke along similar
lines.
was over to the convention
ut Pueblo the other day and met
man who asked me when we
were going to "open up I told
him we were open right now and
Ill the year around. 1t is to cor
rect the prevalent impression that
Glenwood is on the map only four
months of the year that the adver-
tising plan has been launched, and
we want the town to help us; we
think it should. Theidea is to
cooperate with the Hotel Colo
RADIO in its advertising and to let
people know that there is some
thing for them in Glenwood the
year round"
Alderman Showalter made some
emphatic remarks anent the value
of advertising and strongly en-
dorsed the plan. In answer to the
mayors Can we afford it'' Mr..
Showalter said:
"We ought to appropriate this
amount Of money if we do not
give another dollar. The town
depends upon advertising almost
wholly for its support" The
point was also brught out that if
Glenwood expected to enter into
competition with other health re-
sorts Of the state it would have to
make itself known. Other cities,
with not .one-third Of the natural
attractions Of this, had been
brought to public attention, and
it was the sentiment Of the body

that we should not lag behind.
! Unanimously passed.
Ernest Barton was on his feet
a minute later with the statement
that eve have system of adver-
tising the town that will beat any
thing ever devised. We are here
to ask the town to give the base
ball team 800 month for four
months-June, July, August and
September. The team has gotten
more advertising in the Denver
and other papers for Glenwood
| tifaf-unything else and we feel
that the money SO invested will
yield handsome returns"
That the proposition met with
favor was evinced by the fact
that the aldermen, after discus
sion in which all took an active
part. allowed the amount asked.
it being the sense of the body that
the games do more to bring
crowds into town than almost
anything else.
The matter of grading Blake
from Eleventh to the south line of
the city was brought up through
a petition signed by A. l.. Grace
and others, and Mr.. Grace was
present to urge that this improve
ment be made. He said that no
one would build there because no
water could be obtained; the rea-
for for this is that the company is
unwilling to lay mains until the
grade has been established, for if
it is done before then, the grade
might be so low as to uncover the
mains.
Alderman Barlow said that
when houses were built on that
street the city would grade it.
"We are willing to meet you half
way" was his statement, "but
the city is short of money just
now, and will be short for P
year"
1t was Mr.. Grace's idea that
the grading would have to come
before the houses. The matter
was referred to the street and al
ley committee with power to act
A petition, signed by Thomas
Kennedy and son, asked that the
board take some action with ref
erence to the switching of Rio
Grande engines in front of their
property on Seventh street. They
complained that the constant
noise of whistling, blowing off
team and switching cause much
annoyance and also depreciation
in the value of their property.
On motion it was decided to
ask the company to do its switch
ing on the other side of the river,
and not on what is known as the
Aspen track, as has heretofore
been the custom. Alderman Bar
low wanted the request to include
the whistling and blowing off of
steam in front of the opera house
forbidden, and this, too, was in
cluded in the request.
| A petition signed by number
of citizens was read asking that
the laws with reference to the
midnight and Sunday closing OF
saloons be enforced.

said Alderman Showalter. "The
saloons closed yesterday" On

Ordered Man Out Of Saloon
at Point Of Revolver.
Whiskey Responsible
SPENT NIGHT IN JAIL

A Pinkerton detective, who
gave his name first as Arthur Os-
wald and later as Fred Arnold
and l.. f. Arnold, was brought in
from Shoshone last night where
he had gotten into trouble in
Mike Keogh's saloon. 1t is claim
ed that he drew revolver on an
nnoffending Irishman, and press
ing the muZZle to his stomach, or
dered him out. AT this time he
was under the influence of liquor.
He was arrested by Deputy Sher-
if Ford, brought in last night
and locked in Jail. After much
use of the wires. this morning Mr.
Carr ordered his release.
Last night he strenuously OBJ
jected to occupying cell and
some persuasion was necessary
before he consented to go behind
the bars. He phoned to Shoshonc
to Mr.. Reynolds and made a
strenuous effort to hide his iden-
tity from the officers of the law
here.
When he learned that witness
es We're on the way from Sho-
shone to appear against him he
asked permission to talk to Den
yer when his true occupation be-
came known.
He asked for Frank Cary, su
perintendent of the Denver divi-
sion of the Pinkertons and eX-
planned that he was under arrest
as ga general bad man" and ask
ed that he be gotten out at the
earliest possible moment. In or
der that his chief might place him
he gave his official number, so,
and his name as Arnold.
It appears that the man had
been sent over without the knowl-
edge of Mr.. Ford, who was in
clined to doubt Arnold's word
that he was an employe of the
Pinkerton Office.
When Mr.. Reynolds had declin-
ed to act in the matter, Mr.. Carr,
now at Colorado Springs, was
communicated with. and ordered
the mans release.
For time Oswald. which is his
right name. ran drug store at
Alma. small town in Park coun-
ty. The business did not thrive
under his management and it was
taken back by the man who sold
il to him.
He then went to Denver where
he worked for time for the
Tramway company. and later en-
tered the Pinkerton service. He
is married, his wife at present be-
ing in Denver.
Asked what his business at Sho-
shone was. he said. "Just watch
ing general conditions"

Big Parade, Reviewed by
Prominent Officials, Fea.
ture Of Celebration
GIVEN ROYAL WELCOME

San Francisco, Calf, May T.
People of San Francisco and the
Pacific coast states today saw and
cheered more than 5000 of Admi-
raj Evans sailor boys as they
marched through the down town
business streets of the city over a
line of march that extended for
several miles. The spectacle was
the most notable of its kind that
has ever been seen in San Fran
cisco. In addition to the blue
jackets the marches included de-
tachments of the regular army of
the Preside, National Guard,
state and city officials and men,
bers of the orders of Native Sons
and Native Daughters, and a num-
Der of other patriotic and civic
organizations.
The jackies came ashore early
in the forenoon Prior to the start
of the parade they were assembled
for formation in the streets south
of Market street. The sailors
from the battleship Connecticut
were given the position of honor.
Next in line came the boys from
The Vermont, the Missouri, Maine,
Alabama and other of the big
ships of the battleship feet. Six
teen naval bands were among the
participants. --
The military contingent,~under
'he command of General Funston,
was drawn up in line along Bat
iery and other streets ON the
north side of Market street. Ev-
cry branch of the service of the
United States army was represent
ed. There We're one company of
engineers. fourteen companies Of
coast artillery, the entire Eighth
infantry, four troops of cavalry,
a company of signal corps men,
corps from the hospital and the
Third Artillery corps band. These
made a total of more than $500
troops in line
Notwithstanding its immense
length and the great number of
organizations taking part, the pa
rade was started almost exactly
on schedule time, 10 o'clock. All
along the line of march the bust
ness blocks, office buildings and
residences were ablaze with flags
and bunting, gathered in festoons
or stretched in long folds from
roof to ground, while from num-
berless fagpoles and windows the
colors futtered in the
fresh breeze, with here and there
the dark blue of the rear admi-
rails flag. Everywhere the march
ing sailors and marines were
greeted enthusiastically along the
route by the densely packed
throngs of people.
Rear Admiral Evans was the
central figure of the occasion. Sur
rounded by the admirals and cap
tains of his fleet, the popular ma
val commander reviewed the pag-
cant from a raised and beautiful
ly decorated dais on the grand
stand, erected at conspicuous
downtown corner. Another not
able figure in the reviewing par
tv was Secretary of the Navy
Metcalf. Secretary Metcalf was
attended by Rear Admiral Henry
Glass, retired; Lieutenant w. R.
Miller and Ensign Metcalf 9th
er parties were formed by the
state officials headed by Governor
Gillette and the city officials head
ed by Mayor Taylor.

SAYS ERRORS IN NAVY
UNFITITF0R BATTLE
Expert Declares the Boosted Fight
ing Ships Are Merely Death
Traps.
k,-M0R BELT is TOO LOW.
Defects in Construction Pointed
Out and Promotion System
Is Scored.

Henry Reuterdahl, associate of the
United States Naval Institute and
American editor of Fighting Ships"
is the author of a startling article on
The Needs of Our Navy in the Jan
uary McClure's. Mr.. Reuterdahl's ex-
pertness on naval matters is not dis
puted and neither is his patriotism.
He agrees with President Roosevelt
that a navy must be built land all its
training given in time of peace" and
with this in view he exposes defects
in our first-class battle ships and ar
mored cruisers which all but make
them useless as efficient units in
fleet on heavy sea and in real action.
Mr.. Reuterdahl's criticisms appear
to be the more amazing on account of
the contention that most, if not all of
the weak points he emphasizes. vii! be
acknowledged by sea-going officers. or.
if the reader is sufficiently interested.
by the testimony of his own eyes.
lis principal points are the follow
ing:
That the shell-proof armor af the
American battle ships is virtually be-
low the water line where it will do no
good. leaving the broad side of the yes
sci exposed to the shells of tbe enemy.
That this defect has been pointed
out time and again; that other nations
years ago recognized it as fatal and
now have armor wrapped around the
sides of their war vessels from five to
seven feet above the water line
