ventions Galore

| DENVER, Sept. 6.-The Guggen-
helm leaders who deposed Fred Parks
and dared the anger Of Judge Shat.
tuck were found guilty OF technical
charge OF contempt OF court. but were
not punished.
Judge Shattuck. whose Injunction
they disobeyed. said after handing
down his decision finding them guilty,
that he would not proceed further In
the matter on the ground that a po-
litican question had arisen and that
he had no right to take any cognizance
of it and therefore would pass the en-
tire matter up to the state Republican
central committee. The court also an.
nounced that 1t would keep open all
day to hear any application that might
be made for modification OF the in.
junction order, which has already been
disobeyed twice and which is being
disobeyed today in the Republican
county convention.
There were smiles on the faces of
the Republican leaders present in
court while the decision was being
rendered and they departed apparently
well pleased.
The names of the six who were
technically guilty are John F. Vivian,
Richard Broad. Jr., w. X. Freeman,

Constipation paralyZes the blood YES
