Surprise For Admiral Evans.

Washington.-In quiet way naval
officers in Washington are endeavor-

for Admiral Evans when the battle
ship fee. under his command sails
through the Golden Gate, completing
the Pacific cruise. 1t is proposed to
greet the rear admiral with a commits

undertaking depends upon Congress,
but the President has done his part in
making a proper recommendation to

JOURNALISTIC CONVENTION.
Governor suehteI Favors Gathering o.
PubIicists at Denver.

Denver.-In a public letter Gov H.
A. Buchtel calls for an expression OF
opinion throughout the state in regard
TO a great journalistic gathering to oe
held in Denver at the close of the &C M
ing Democratic national convention in
July. The governor says:
John Brisben Walker has suggested
the idea OF holding an International
congress of authors. editors, publish
ers aid publicists In Denver after the
close Of the Democratic national con-
vention, namely from July l4th to July
25th. During the Democratic national
convention reporters will be present
IN great numbers from every section of
the United States. II we could tiIen
bring to Denver a considerable repre-
sentation of editors and publishers the
advantage to the state would be great.
The owners of the great papers and
the editors who formulate the policy
of the great papers could do more to
make Colorado known to the people in
every locality than the reporters who
work under their direction. The topics
10 be considered by the convention
would be such topics as might be
agreed upon among the most conspicu-
GUS editors and publishers Of the coun-
try. 1t is probable that they will con-
slider such questions as the conduct and
ethics of the worlds great newspapers
and magazines, and the work Of the
novelist and writer.
The suggestion has been made that
these distinguished people should be
invited to be the guests of Colorado for
ten days, from July 14th to 25th. 1t is
proposed that only four sessions of the
congress should be held and that inter-
vening time should be occupied with
visits to interesting points in the Rocky
mountains. Both the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Colorado & Southern
railroads have expressed their hearty
approval of the plan. They would pro-
vide transportation for these distin-
guished guests to any points reached
by their lines. The board of directors
of the Convention League will at once
take up the matter to determine
whether it might be possible to pro
vide for the entertainment of these
guests. Invitations would be issued to
approximately 500 of the worlds most
famous authors publishers and publ,
cists.
I'VE might hope to secure an atten.
dance Of 100 of these distinguished
people if we could invite them to be the
guests of the state of Colorado. The
great conventions to be held in Den
yer this year ought to add a hundred
thousand people to our population in
the course of the next twelve months
II we could bring the owners of the
great newspapers and the men who
fix the policies of the great newspapers
for such q convention, it is probable
that this would do as much for us as
any other convention in bringing peo
pie to Colorado.
1T is desired that expressions of ap
proval or disapproval OF holding this
proposed convention should be sent al
once to w. F. R. Mills, secretary of the
Denver Convention League. at the
Chamber of Commerce building, or tC
ME at the state house. Very sincerely

Death Of Count PourtaIes.

Colorado Springs.-Count James de
Pourtales, a prominent and active fig
ure in the early history and develop
ment of Colorado Springs, builder of
the Broadmoor casino, founder and
first president of the Cheyenne Noun
tain Country club and one Of the first
men to invest any considerable amount
Of money in the Cripple Creek district,
died Saturday at Mentone, Italy, after
a brief illness, at the age Of forty seven
years. Countess de Pourtales, his
wife, died in Los Angeles two years
ago. Her remains were taken to Ger
many for burial.
Count de Pourtales, who was a man
Of great wealth, first visited Colorado
Springs in 1887, stopping here while en-
route to the Pacific coast. He intended
to stay but few days but prolonged
his visit to several weeks. This event
ually meant much to Colorado Springs
and this region because Count de Pour
tales decided to locate here perm
anently.
In few months he acquired the
now noted suburb Of Broadmoor and
built the casino, at a time when Colo
RADIO Springs had only 10000 inhabi
tants. Soon afterward he founded the
Cheyenne Mountain Country club. now
the most exclusive social organization
In Colorado Springs.
About this time Cripple Creek was
discovered by Bob" Womack and, al
though many scoffed at the new camp,
Count de Pourtales was confident that
1t had a great future and bought
small hole in the ground, then known
as the Buena Vista claim, which after
ward developed into the famous lisa.
bella mine. Strangely enough, Count
de Pourtales never realized much from
his Cripple Creek investment for the
reason that his interests in Germany
called him to that country at the height
Of the mining boom. He sold his min
ing property content to know that his
Judgment had not been at fault, and
sailed for his estate at Glumbowitz.
in Silesia, Germany, where his life
work was spent in relieving the condi-
ton Of the worthy poor.

THE LOCAL OPTION LAW,
Governor euchtel Explains Its Pro-
visions to Denver Voters.

Denver.-Five congregations of
churches in the Twelfth ward were
represented Sunday night in the South
Broadway Christian church to hear
Gov. II. A. BlHhtel explain the working
of the local option law. The largest
audience that South Broadway church
has held for some time was present,
every available inch of space being oc-
cupied.
AS Governor Buchtel said. the law is
q splendid one, but not self-operative.
The people must put it into effect be-
fore the officers of the law can en-
force it. For this reason the governor
himself undertook to explain it.
A great many inquiries had been re-
ceived, he said, from around the state
asking if one county could vote itself
dry. This could not be done. he said.
for the reason that the individuals of
q community have the right to regu-
late their own affairs to Il certain eX
tent. He has submitted all questions
to the attorney general and this opin-
ion was returned to him.
For that reason a town. may elect
to stay wet if it SO desires, although
the rest of the county is dry. The vot-
ers of the Twelfth ward he said
would have to decide for themselves
whether or not they wish to vote the
whole ward dry and have the pre-
cincts that wish to remain wet stay So
if they can show that a majority of
the taxpayers of that precinct wish to
remain wet. or whether they will elm
mate these precincts before election
and not vote upon them at all.
The local option bill has ward sub
division vote and this is one of the re-
suits. However, to prove that ward
subdivision is regarded as the best
method of voting upon the anti-saloon
proposition he told of Governor Folks
effort to secure it in Missouri. After
an anti-saloon bill had been passed
there. Governor Folk called special
session of the Missouri Legislature to
secure ward subdivision but was un-
successful
On the drug store question he de-
clared Colorado had law which can
not be bettered The provision of the
Kelly bill brought before the legisla-
ture, was incorporated in the Drake
bill on this phase of the subject. 1t
provides that no drug store may dis
pense intoxicating liquors unless the
liquor is sold by licensed pharmacist
upon the order of a licensed 'practicins
physician, and that the prescription be
used only once. Both these persons
are licensed by the state and hence
under the control of the state so that
their licenses may be revoked if they
attempt to evade the law. Also fine
of from 500 to 5000 or Imprisonment
for thirty days may be imposed for
violations of the law. A second offense
provides for a fine of from 5000 to $500
and Imprisonment.
In order to vote a precinct wet after
it has been voted dry those favoring
wet precinct must go through the
same formula prescribed for making it
dry, so that once dry it will always be
dry in Governor Buchtel's opinion.
Forty per cent of the voters. he de-
clared. would never dare to put their
names to petition asking that the
vote be revoked
