tack upon him by w. r. Hearst in a
recent speech in Los Angeles, Cal,
gave out statement today in which
he said that he had repeatedly stated
the facts about his employment by the

ton with certain damage suits, which
employment, he said, would be under
stood by any fair-minded man. Con-
corning his connection with the
French Lick Springs Hotel Company,
he said that, with other counsel, he
was employed to defend suits involv-
ing forfeiture of charter and the ap
pointment of receiver and that he
and his associates served the corpora
tons, as he would have served any
other client Similar service was
rendered at the same time to the
West Baden Springs Company, with
which Thomas Taggert had no con
nection. As to his nomination Mr..
Karn says:
1T is a we'll known fact that | did
not want the nomination, and so de-
clared at Denver. However after the /

GIBBONS DEFENDS
WOMEN OF AMERICA
CARDINAL SAYS EUROPEAN CRIT

OF SOCIETY.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Cardinal
Gibbons, head of the Roman Catholic
Church in this country, in an inter.
view published here today, made what
might be called corrective reply to
Dr.. Andrew McPhail, who, In an ar
ticle published in a London paper re-
Gently, was quoted as declaring that
American women are idle and I'M
happy.
American women of a certain class
and limited number said his emf
nence, perhaps are the idlest and
unhappiest in the world. l refer to
the possessors of exorbitant wealth,
some Of whom have neither religious
principles nor domestic virtues to re-
strain them, and who employ their
vast fortunes merely for the gratifica-
tion of their passions. But, also,
there is a portion of our very wealthy
class that lives quietly and virtuously
Against them and against our middle
and poorer classes the charge of idle
ness is absolutely unfair"
Cardinal Gibbons went on to say
hat the foreign critic of America gets

life from the scandals and divorces
lie reads in the newspapers, never |
to be aware Of the fact of a
million happy homes which never get
nto print.

majority Of them, never get into the

Dwight E. Heard of Arizona re- sponded to the address of welcome on behalf of the delegates. He said the delegates greatly appreciated the en- thusiastic reception they had been tendered-by the people of Denver.
 The stockmen were always glad to visit this city, he said, but their pres ent visit was bringing them essential pleasure because of the excellent stock show here. On behalf of the visiting stockmen Mir Heard said he wished to congratulate the management Of the Denver show. He declared the show to be a credit to any city.
 MT. Heard called attention to the large amount of important work to be done by the convention. The principal question to come before the gathering, he said, would be How shall we best conserve the great natural resources of the country" The people of Ari- zona, he said, had very definite views on the subject of range control. They believed that the Burkett bill would protect the rights of stocknen without hurting those now in possession of the grazing lands or defeating the govern ment in any way.
 Mir. Heard regretted that Clifford Pinchot could not have been with the convention today. He explained that

Immunity Granted to All Defendants in Portland Trial But Hall and Mays.

Portland, Jan. 3.-Just before the federal court adjourned w. w. Stewer, former senator and member of the Butte Creek Land, Live Stock and Lumber company, a defendant with former United States Attorney Hall, Edwin May and others in the conspi- racy case now on trial, pleaded guilty and took the stand in behalf of the government. He had started to relate a conversation with Hall when the ses- sion came to a close.
 Previously H. H. Hendricks and Clarence E. Zachary also stockholders of the company, both of whom pleaded guilty to having conspired with Hall. Mays and others, to defraud the gov ernment testified regarding the char acter or the land enclosed by the com pany, and the manner in which the prospective settler was frightened off.
 Zacharys most interesting state ment was that the government had granted Hendricks, Stewer and himself partial immunity in the present case in consideration of their testifying against Hall and Mays. They say that their punishment in the present case is to consist of a S25O fine and a one daS iair sentence.

HEARD HAS A GOOD
 CAUSE OF ACTION
The Denver Times in an Effort to Be Courteous Commits Involuntary Criminal Libel.

Dwight B. Heard is Q man of more than ordinary will power and undoubt-
 edly is capable of a great degree of self restraint when he chooses to exert | it. He can stand punishment if need be, in a good cause. But none of these things, nor all of them, will justify the Den yer Times in it's publication of pie ture on January 21st purporting to be a likeness of the hustling cattleman from, Arizona, who visited that city as a delegate to the cattlemen's conven- tion. There is nothing in the columns of the paper indicating it's animositX to Mir. Heard but there is question if the publication is not libelous even in the absence of a motive to injure. The worst of it is that it is not a bad picture of somebody and lots of stran- gers who see it will think it is reallyf a picture of him. The face in the pie ture looks very like that of a sue cessful whiskey drummer while be- meath the chin is the surplus cuticle of a bull necked ward politician The forehead is high like MT. Heard's but the face is not shaped like his at all and the hair hangs down behind aIPut half like Marse Henri Watterson And half like a buffalo robe. And to com plete the travesty the artist has taken MT. Heard's typical collar and enlarged it after the manner of Billy Kersands' in a minstrel performance.
 In defense of the purity of the mo- tives of The Times. the following very complimentary mention is reproduced.

WIPED
 IN THE BUD
To Make a Republic Out of
 Portugal
It Involved In First Place the Assassination of the Prime Ministers.

Lisbon, Jan. 23-CBy courier to Badajora, Spain)-An abortive at tempt to overthrow the monarchy and proclaim Portugal a republic was nip ped in the bud last night by the prompt action of the government. The plot was organized by a small group of advanced republicans, and as near as can be ascertained the plan was to assassinate Premier Franco, and then depend for success upon street risings supported by secret republican and la bor organizations armed with bombs and revolvers. The conspiratory in- tended to take advantage of the vari ous festivities to carry out the coup. The royal family was at the villa of Vicosa, entertaining the Duke of Abruzzi and most of the army and navy officers were in the city attend ing a gala performance at the theater while many of the chief functionaries of state were present at a magnificent ball at one of the legations.
 The police discovered what was in the wind early in the evening and surrounded the house where the ring leaders were conferring. When they broke in, the lights were eXtinguished and in the confusion most of the con- spirators managed to make their es cape. Several of them were captured, including the leader, Jose Chages, the republican journalist. who was prom inent in the republican revolt of 1891; Francisco BOrger. editor of Fl Mundo, and a merchant named Grendella. A case of revolvers and bombs was found in the cellar. A general alarm was immediately sent out, and while the prisoners were being taken to jail troops began to appear from all di- rections. A squadron of cavalry% was placed around Franco's house and the night passed without further incident.
 From the papers captured it is evi- dent that the conspiracy was badly or ganiZed and premature. The leader has always been an active revolution ist. After the revolt of 1891 he es- capped to Brazil and subsequently, be- ing pardOned by amnesty, he returned tO Portugal Other arrests are expect ed. Premier Franco has established a rigorous censorship. so that the news of the conspiracy may not be learned abroad. Outside of Lisbon no disturb ances are reported.

 An unusual feature was a combina- tiOn of representatives of the pro- gressives with the Diado club and Yuko party which represented de- termined efforts of the "Outs" to de- feat the government and force the res ignation of the cabinet. The failure means that the cabinet remains in power and the passage of the budget.

while the stockmen did not always agree with the head of the forestry bureau, they had great respect for him, ''for,' said the speaker. we all know he is man of three sterling qualities courage, common sense and absolute honesty" This reference to Pinchot met with much applause.
