1t was not until 10 o clock that
the crowds began coming in earn
est. About that time the special
trains from neighboring towns be-
gan to pull in, and from that hour
:. on the streets were filed with
pleasure seeking crowds.
With added decorations and a
reception committee of one of ev-
cry citizen, the visitors were Civ
en- the glad hand and hidden well
come.
In the early part of the day the
strangers strolled about town,
amusing themselves in half a d0z-
en- different ways. Fakirs shout
ed their wares, quick lunch men
laid out inviting edibles, and on
almost every corner were signs
telling Of special dinners given by
organisations and different indi-
viduals, which made certain that
no one would go hungry for lack
of a place to dine.
The monster merry go-round did
q rushing business all day and the
vari6as bsnds kept the air filed
with, music.
From 9 o clock until the after
noon was well advanced special
trains brought people by the hun
dred. They came from the east,
the west, the north and the south
dressed in holiday attire and
ready to enjoy everything that
Glenwood Springs had to offer.
And they did.
Leadville sent a large and rep
resentative delegation, for Lead
viRe has learned from past expert
ence that this is the one town in
all Colorado where the best time
is to be had. They brought their
crack musical organizations that
have long held high place in the
favor Of the western slope-Schis-
ler's orchestra and the Leadville
Elks band.
Just preceding their arrival the
Colorado Midland unloaded a
large crowd Of pleasure seekers,
and our neighbor, Spring Gufch,
sent it's crowd to make merry here
for the day.
1t almost goes without saying
that no Strawberry festival is
complete without T. NJ. Glib and
his fa4soas Reastone band. Well,
they were all here and they
brought "A big crowd along and

Save Him Forty-fiVe
Thousand Dollars

PITTSBURG, Jan. 29.-Rather than
say IT am sorry" James X. smith VIII
spend four and a half years more OF
his five-year sentence in the western
penitentiary and part with $46,00O or
his money.
Smith is one of the wealthlest
farmers in Fayette county, Wnere ne
has property valued at $75,OO0. he mas
an only daughter, Myra, who hfteen
months ago eloped with William X.
Wirsing, am estimable but poor young
man. Smith was furious. but sent a
note to his daughter telling her to
come home and bring her huspano
with her. As they came up the walk
to Smiths home Smith emptied the
contents of a shotgun in his son-in-
laws body, with the remark, That s
my greeting to you" Wirslng was
horribly injured but recovered, al
though he viii be cripple for life.
Afterward he brought suit against ms

$45, 900, the largest verdict ever rem
dered in a similar damage case In
Pennsylvania. Smith was also sent to
the penitentiary for five years.

They had taken steps looking toward
a pardon and had been told that 1t
could be procured. If Wirsing, the In
iured man, made the request.
Yesterday Wirsing and his wife vis-
tied the penitentiary and told Smith
that IL he would say he was sorry a
pardon would be procured for him and

AT M'KINLEY DAY BANQUET
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 29.-Secre-
tary of War Taft was the guest OF
honor tonight at the annual Mckinney
day banquet of the Tippecanoe clup
and spoke on 1.-THE Republic
Secretary Taft accompanied by Col.

formal luncheon was served. Late III
the afternoon the secretary was taken
to the Tippecanoe club rooms, where
a public reception was held. Thls con-
tinued until 4:30 o'clock, when Mr..
Taft was hurried away to address the
local chapter of the Red Cross society.
Ohio politics was not overlooked by
Mr.. Taft For over an hour he con-
ferred with his state manager, arthur
I, Vorys, Walter c.. Brown, chairman
of the Republican state committee, and
local leaders. The local fight was LETT
in the hands of Vorys and Brown.
Mr.. Taft will leave here tomorrow
morning for Washington. There were
some expectations that the banquet
would develop a political air, owing to
the presence of Mr.. Taft in his own
state, but not only did the secretary
and the other speakers confine them
selves to Mckinley eulogies, but Mr..
Taft at no time during his stay here
made any public references to polit-
ical matters.
The banquet was preceded by pub
lie reception at the chamber of COM
merce hal. Men prominent in politics
merce hall. Men prominent in politics
state and a few prominent in national
affairs were in attendance.
Congressman Mckinley told of the
part Ohio men have taken in the up
building of the Pacific coast in his
address on "Ohio and the Pacific
Slope" at the banquet
Urges Ship Subsidy
Mr. Mckinley urged a ship subsidy
and said:
president Mckinley appreciated the
necessity of a greater American mer-
chant marine in his day. The Pacific
ocean is the great theater of the
worlds commerce of tomorrow.
Secretary Taft was introduced as
1.-THE next president of the United
States" The cheering that followed
was long continued.
Mr. Taft said: 1.-THE expression
world power has been made an occa-
sion for ridicule and sneers, but it has
real meaning and a real significance.
1t means an influence throughout the
world; and so long as that influence
is welded for the betterment of man
kind, for the uplifting of our unfor-
tunate fellow creatures, for the MAIN
tenance of peace, for the encourage
ment of trade, for the promotion of
morality and civilization, we may well
be proud to have taken part In the
change of our national policy which
made us a world power. The highest
lof 80 mi he
gratitude of his countrymen is that. in
spite of the abuse and contumely that
was heaped upon his head for >this
policy, he placed our country in the
forefront Of nations as a civilizer and
uplifter of unfortunate people"

DR.. HEWET7 COMES
ON MUSEUM WORK
ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIRECTOR MAY
LECTURE HERE
Los Angeles Sets Pace for Research In
Western 5istory with Its South-
west Exploration
Projects
De. HEWET7 COMES

Prof. Edgar L. Hewett, director OF
the School of American Archaeology,
just founded by the Archaeological In
stitute of America, and to be made as
great force in science as the famous
classical schools in Rome, Athens and
Palestine by the same institute have
become, will arrive in Los Angeles on
Friday from Salt Lake and will pass
a couple of days here in consult alton
with the Southwest society, which has
become the largest of the twenty-five
societies of the institute, and has just
successfully founded the Southwest
museum.
1t is not yet known whether DR.. Hew-
EFT will be able to give public lecture.
If he can, due notice will be given.
The foundation of the School of
American Archaeology is largely due
to the example and the success of the
Southwest society, with headquarters
in Los Angeles; and so is the Ameri-
canization of the work of the institute,
which is the foremost scientific body in
the United States, but has largely de-
voted its efforts to classical research
for the simple reason that people of
money could not be induced to believe
that there was anything in the United
States worthy the attention of
scholars +"
1t was not strange. 1t was explained
that New York and Boston bankers
could not finance expeditions to study
the early history of the west, since the
people of the west paid no attention
to It themselves. But an entirely new
era has come. Following and largely
based upon the success of the South
west society strong societies are now
growing in nearly a dozen western
states.
A combination of the leading univer
agreement with the various depart
ments of the national government and
a system for the prosecution of such
scientific work and on such q scale
as was never before attempted in
America is the result.
