tSpeCldl 10 lut ofnllnci-J
Denver, May 5.-The resignation
of Chief of Police Delaney has
caused quite sensation in this city,
especially in political circles.
The Denver Times and News are
claiming that they are responsible
for Delaney's action; but their
claims are given but little weight.
Chief Delaney is not discussing
his resignation today. 1t has been
accepted by the fire and police board
and Captain Robert S. Carter is act
ing as chief by reason of seniority.
Delaney is under bond to answer
to the charge of assault to commit
great bodily harm as the result of
an attack committed upon 7. S. Mat
thews, a blacksmith, on Friday night
last.
Delaney has been member of the
police force for a number. of years
and previous to being appointed as
chief by Mayor Speer, shortly after
the latter was elected four years ago
had served as captain of police.
Delaney has been accused several
times of securing confessions of pris-
oners by means of brutal treatment
and during trials the accused them
selves in several instances repudiat-
ed their confessions, charging that
they were forced to admit criminal
acts to protect themselves from
abuse at the hands of the chief.
The assault committed upon Mat
thews, Chief Delaney said, was a mis-
take; that he mistook Matthews fol
another man. This affair created
much public feeling.

THE FROST KING CAME
BUT DAMAGE IS LIGHT

AS expected, the temperature went
to the freezing point and below in
many districts of the Grand valley
last night.
1t is not believed that any serious
fruit crop of the valley, owing to the
fact that all the orchardlsts who had
fruit to protect smudged heavily last
night and kept the temperature well
up all during the latter part of the
night.
Smudging Was Heavy.
Heavy smudging was done in ev-
cry orchard district. Thousands of
smudge pots were used and hun
dreds of smudge piles and coal fires
were employed. Great clouds of
smoke hung over the valley during
the early morning hours.
The smudging in the Palisade sec
ton was more general than in any
other district, with Fruit Ridge and
Pomona not far behind.
