"Great" Democratic Demonstration Last
Wednesday,. Mrs. leavitt Will Return
Bearing fts-.-coyote's Pe|t for
the Consolation Prize
STORY OF A MOST NOTABLE event

A band was scheduled to play and
lead the procession up to the Napier
home. But the band got lost in the
shuttle, and the mandolin club was Sc
cured instead.
The large crowd which finally follow
ed the music consisted of thirteen De-
mocrats, all of whom We're aspirants
to political office, and three small boys
who thought there might be some ice
cream in sight at the end of the jour
ney. tThey were disappointed.)
Arrived at the home, the mandolin
club played: Gliding in the Moon
light" then the self invited guests
took possession of the parlor, and the
fuza .were presented by Mayor Drach in
aesary Worded speech.
They were accepted by Mrs. Leavitt
in a. witty little talk, in which she
showed that she knows how to speak
and what to say.
The $23-$10O draft was not present
ed as al of that amont had not been
gotten together, but it is understood
that it will be Forthcoming before
Mrs Leavitt' IS train leaves tonight.
1t was not until last night, however,
that the niger in the wood pile, whose
presence has been suspected since the
reception at the Colorado, showed his
face.
Persistently it has been claimed that
her visit had no political significance
whatever. None at all. But when the
draft part of the program was pulled
off. the truth came to light.
For even William J. Bryan must ad-
nit that draft presented by his
daughter for campaign purposes has
some political significance, and when it
is recalled that this was the crowning
event of her stay the claims of those
who insisted it was just social visit,
must be disallowed.
The Democrats meant well-well,
they always have, but doubtless the
famous resident of Fairview will take
great satisfaction in viewing the scalp
his charming daughter secured for him
in the wilds of Colorado when that
other scalp he wants so badly is far
beyond his reach at the White House,

USE OIL ON THE
STREETS OF DENvEE

DENVER, July 23-Under the dircc-
ton of Boulevard Expert George +.
Kessler, Mayor Speer is arranging for
experiments to be made on Denver
streets for solution of the dust pro-
blem through the use of residium oil,
on the plan successfully carried out
in Kansas City and other large places.
The Inland Oil company of Boulder
has consented to give gratis sufficient
oil to afford tests on five blocks. The
streets will be thoroughly flushed with
the oil. They will remain sticky for
about five days, at the end OF which
time the oil will thoroughly settle. The
value of the oil lies in that it sucks
up the dust and keeps it allayed for
long period without the aid of water
From the experience of cities where II
ia in use streets much Travelled Will
have to be sprinkled with the oil on
the average of once every six weeks.
Moderately used residence streets need
only two applications year.
Kansas City has used the oil for two
years with the greatest of success. Inc
cost of it for the first year was $6,ooo'
In the second year, in spite of an in
crease in street, park and boulevard
area, the cost was $1,000. The ex-
penses here will probably be greater in
view of the fact that the price OF oil
is much higher and the dust is more
formidable enemy. Even if the expert
ments of Mr.. Kessler prove success,
Mayor speer may hesitate about adopt
ing the system because of the cost.

Report Of Investigating Com.
mittee Says President Of
College Is All 0. K.
WAS NOT UNANIMOUS

FORT COLLINS, July 23-All the
charges, insinuations and even intima-
tions of immoral or improper conduct
on the part of B. o. Aylesworth, presi-
dent of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege and efforts from certain quarters
to make it appear that the college is
falling off in its effectiveness and an
rollment of students by differences
among the faculty, fell fat today when
the special committee appointed to
make an investigation made its report
to the state board of agriculture.
The committee submitted two sep
arate reports, the first one Of which
dealt with the moral life of President
suspicion, declaring that there was not
one seintilla of evidence to sustain the
charges. The second report took up
the matter of differences alleged to
exist among the faculty and the COM
mittee declared that if the president
was to be criticized it was because he
was too lenient with both the faculty
and students and in the administration
of the college work, a condition, ac-
cording to the evidence before the COM
mittee, brought about largely BY the
reason of disloyalty to the president
and the college on the part Of some
members of the faculty and this dis
loyal spirit has been encouraged among
the students.
Both reports were adopted by the
board, but not unanimously, Governor
Harper, Eugene v. Grubb and A. A.
Edwards voting against them. The re-
naming members of the board, who
voted for the adoption of the report,
were Capt. B. F. Rockafellow, presi-
dent of the board; B. W. Dye, J. L.
Chatfeld, Franklin E. Brooks, J. l..
Brush and DR.. R. W. Corwin.

When is a demonstration not a dem
onsration?
When the Democrats attempt it, is
the answer to this original conundrum,
and the following story of last night s
occurrences when this was attempted
will go to prove to every one but
Democrat that such is fact.
The origin Of the demonstration !"
last night came to the minds of lead
ers of the party in Glenwood Springs
about two weeks ago when, in company
with a number of others Mrs. Leavitt
was riding up Grand Canon on horse
back.
A coyote loped ahead of them for
several miles before taking to the tim
Der, and several atines the party was
near enough to see that he was the
poesessor of very fine hide. Mrs,
Leavitt expressed the warmest admira-
men rode back to ranch house and
securing rifle managed to kill Mr..
Coyote after he had taken to the tim
ber
OF this, however, Mrs. Leavitt
knew nothing, those in the party say,
and when the question of presenting it
to her came up, the idea grew that it
would be well to make the hide gift
event one notable in the history Of
Garfield county.
But if Bryan's daughter had hide
and the great commoner were forgotten
tile Democrats thought that their lead
er might feel neglected so another one
was killed for Bryan.
There was suspicion in the hearts
of many cf the loyal ones thai if he
was unable to get Taft IS political hide
this fall, that one of coyote might be
sort of consolation prize, though
the latter wuld not be one-tenth as
large.
Last night was the great night, INT
previous ,c this it was suggested tat
the Democrats should contribute ''el.

Boston, July 23-As the final result
of three desperate battles with band
of outlaws, the police captured one and
it is believed seriously wounded two
capped.
The first passage at arms between
the blue coats and the law breakers
occurred Tuesday night in a bar room
at Jamica Plains, the second on the
streets Of the town at an early hour
this morning and the third at day
break. Giuseppe Zeppia, who is now
in custody of the police has been
identified as the man who shot up the
saloon which precipitated the trouble
s,hat led to the fight.
The officers were called to the scene
and began chasing the disturber and
his companions who fed towards the
outskirts of the city and finally took
refuge in the cemetery. Forming a
solid line the blue coats advanced, in
the uncertain light, with the pursued
some distance in the lead.
They suddenly disappeared, and it
seemed as if the quarry was lost when
one of them rose up from behind a
tombstone and ran barefooted over
mounds and past granite shafts. His
clothes were ragged, and he wore over
alls. In one hand he carried a big re-
volver, and close on his trail came the
officers. Again he disappeared, and
this time down into a ravine. The po-
lice rushed up to its edge and peered
over, A shot came from behind a bush
where the man lay hidden, and this
was the signal for general fusliade
during which more than 100 bullts
were exchanged.
Finally the firing ceased, and when
the officers scrambled down the steep
sides and pulled away the foliage they
found the man now in custody, rid
died with bullets.
He was taken to the Jamica Plains
station where he will be held pend
ing the results of the chase which was
! resumed, and in the hope that he can
be induced to make confession.
He is one of gang of foreigners
who are believed to be guilty of sew
eral strocious murders of recent occur
renee, and he will be put through the
third degree in an effort to wiring a
confession from him.
