FACTION
GETS ON ROLL
Colorado Democratic Conven-
ton in SeSSi0n-COnteSt
From Denver.

Pueblo. Colo, Sept. S.-The Demo-
cratic state convention called for the
purpose of nominating a full, state
ticket and declaring the party's choice
for United States senator to succeed
Senator Henry NJ. Teller was called To
order in the Grand opera house by
State Chairman Milton Smith at IL
O'Clock today The session was
marked, as usual. with a contest from
Denver county between the followers
of Mayor Robert w. Speer and those
of Former United States Senator
Thomas NJ. Patterson. Chairman Smith
announced that the Speer delegation
from Denver had been placed on the
temporary roll. Other contests filed
were from Las Aninias. Ell Paso and
Conejos counties.
State Senator w. II. Adams of Cone
jos county was unanimously chosen to
be temporary chairman.
After selecting committees the con-
vention took IA recess until $50 this
evening.
Will Be Fought Out.
There is little likelihood that the
warning Denver Democrats will be able
to reach an amicable settlement and
the matter will be fought out in the
credentials committee and on the floor
of the convention.
There are numerous candidates for
every office on the state ticket, and
these as well as the choice for United
States senator, will largely, if not en-
tirely, depend on the outcome of the
Denver contest
The Democratic convention recon-
vened at 1880 p. m, but the credentials
committee not being ready to report
adjournment was taken until 9:45 a. m
tomorrow.
The committee on credentials. by a
vote of 40 TO 10. late tonight decided In
favor of seating the Speer delegation

POST MORTEM IN
CASE OF JENKINS

Presidents Secretary.

Chippewa Falls. Wis. Sept. S-Judge
John ]. Jenkins. congressman from the
Eleventh Wisconsin distrfc. today re-
ceived a letter from William Loeb. jr.
secretary to President Roosevelt. in which
Secretary Loeb asserts that statements
made in a circular purported TO have been
issued by Judge Smith of Superior on
the eve of the recent Wisconsin primary
election, are false. 1t is alleged by Judge
jenkins friends that the circular in ques-
ton brought about the defeat of Jenkins
by Irwin L. Lenroot for the Republican
congressional nomination.
loeb's Letter.
The letter is dated Oyster Bay. Sept. l.
and reads:
My Dear Judge jenkins: 1 am in re-
ceipt of your letter of the I'd. with in
closure. The statements which the cir
cular says We're made by the president. or
his secretary. are absolutely false. Judge
Smith called at the executive office and
asked to see the president. He was told
by Acting Secretary Forster that the pres
iGent would not see him or any one else
on matter of local political nature and
would not discuss il any way.
Judge Smith then wrote a note TO the
president asking him TO say whether or
not the claim of Representative Jenkins
that the president had written him let
ter urging his rem Omnation was true
Judge Smith was again told that the
president declined to say anything what
ever about the matter or to discuss it in
any way
Denied for Mr.. Forster.
MIR. Forster told Judge Smith that a
great many appeals TO interfere with Po-
litical protests were sent to the presi-
dent but that the president has invariably
refused to take nart in any of them. Mr..
Forster never made the statement that the
president had been 'persstently impor-
tuned by Mr. Jenkins and his friends to
endorse Mr.. Jenkins candidacy
This was no denial of any claims. This
was simply a refusal to say anything
about the contest in any way.

was sent in answer to telegram concern-
ing this matter.

OBJECTED TO LONG NAMES.
English Clergyman Had His Own Way
at chrIstenIngs.

An English clergyman, DR.. Freder.
lex Lee, had a prejudice against a
long string of Christian names, and
held that II such names we're pro-
posed the clergyman should alter
them at baptism, whether the parents
we're willing or not 1t was said Of
him that he christened all the boys
Frederick after himself and all the
girls Mary after the Virgin. The au-
thor of The Life of Walter Pater"
gives Dr. Lees method of christening
as follows:
Name this child" he would say in
his authoritative voice
Archibald CholmOndeley Constan-
tine Ferdinand" perhaps the mother
would whisper
Frederick" she would hear, to her
amazement, and then would follow the
formula of baptism.
In the vestry, of course, there would
be objection.
This child" DR.. Lee would reply,
will have to get his living in the
world, and what do you want to handi-
cap him with Archibald Campbell
Cholmondeley and all the rest Of them
for? Anyhow, it's done, and can't b
altered"

NEED or SURGICAL. TRAINING.
Some Things, at Least, That All PeO-
pie Should Know.

Everybody ought to have surgical
training enough to render aid to the
injured in the case Of a stab or cut in
one of the limbs, said st. Louis ply
sician.
IF the blood flows freely, It is an In
dication that one or more blood YES
sells have been severed. If the flowing
blood is a bright red and comes in
jets, an artery has been cut. If 1t Is
dark red It comes from a vein and the
Importance of this fact becomes ap-
parent when an effort is made to stop
the flow. Veins carry the blood to the
heart, the arteries convey it in the op-
posite direction, so when a vein is sew
cred, pressure should be applied be-
low the wound, but in the case Of an
artery, pressure above or between the
wound and the heart is necessary.
Sometimes, in the case Of an exten-
sive cut, both arteries and veins may
be severed, and then pressure ought to
be applied both above and below the
wound. More than one man has bled
to death with a crowd looking on sim
ply because none Of the bystanderE
knew enough to stop the flow Of blood
until a doctor could arrive. A hand
kerchief with knot in it, tied around
the limb, will often answer the pur
pose. Even the pressure Of thumb
will sometimes hold back the blood
until a surgeon can apply more ef
fective means"

GIRL WAS OTHERWISE ENGAGED
Father Right In Thinking He Knew
Cause Of Her Preooeupation.

For some time the father of the fam
fly had suspected that his girl and the
young man Of whom he disapproved
on account Of his poetic tendencies
had been riding downtown together
and uptown together every day in the
elevated train, says the New York
Press. He hit upon a diabolic plan
for verifying his suspicious.
Wonderful progress they are max
ing on the Pennsylvania station" he
said.
Tie girl looked up dreamily. Are
they?" she murmured
Why, yes" said the father.
Haven't you noticed It'll"
The girl said she hadn't.
And there is that big building at
the corner Of Thirty-something-or-other
street" he went on, that is going up
just like magic. 1t seems hardly no
time since it was only hole in the
ground; now it is Is stories high, and
they're ready to put the windows in
But maybe you haven't noticed that,
either?7
NO" said the girl, softly, q
haven't"
To test her still further the father
enumerated a dozen other improve
ments along the line that were bound
to strike any observant eye. The girl
had been blind to them all. The
father went upstairs to the girls
mother.
TITS hopeless case" he groaned.
She's dead in love"
He told the mother how he knew.

the mother.

vI.-THE LAST STAND.

Here is a cavalcade coming up the
pass. SO close? It is the pursuit.
Da-Ga-In.Ka sees they are Apaches.
The fire Of his forefathers is in the
fugitive. He faces them with his
cherished old Winchester in hand.
Come back to the Mesoalero,"
shouts the leader.
Brothers, go your way. will go
mine. This is the sullen answer.
The column moves again, forward
The hunted savage gazes at his breth-
rem fxedly. Then, with the supple
ness Of snake he slips from his
blanket, drops to his knees and puts
the cool butt of his rife to his swarthy
cheek. He sings the war song Of the
Apaches.
Behind him crouehes his squaw
trembling. This is because she is a
woman, and fears the white man who
can turn the redskin against his kind.
The Winchester begins barking mer-
rily. and a shower OF elected shells rat
ties to the ground Back from the
trail comes the echo Of the war song
and volley that tears cloud OF
splinters on the crag,
It is soon over. Jim McLane is
avenged, and a wrinkled, ugly sduaw
Is waillng over her dead. Da-Ga-In.Ka
Is literally rlddled with bullets.
They say the Mescalero Apaches are
becoming civilized.

blue in HIS eyes snaps like flint we
want Da-Ga-ln-Ka," the agent says.

Death broods over the Mascalero
reservation. The coyotes, slender,
famished, sink hopelessly through the
chapparal to the tepee of Da-Ga-In-Ka,
and Just as hopelessly stink away
again. There are no fresh bones be-
hind the wickiup. It has been many
sleeps since Da-Ga-In-Ka has tasted
meat; not since the last beef killing,
with its wanton waste and great
feasting at the agency.
Therefore Da-Ga-In-Ka's woman
covers ss she puts before him the Jar
OF cornmeal porridge The stomach
OF 3 warrior Graves flesh. And who is
Da-GaIn-Ka, that he should eat the
food Of women and children and Of the
craven white man who humbles him
self at labor like a squaw? Yet he
must endure the close-hsted bounty Of
the paleface, for now the Apaches are
almost civilized and live on the land
the white man has allotted them.
