the majority stockholders attempted
10 assume control of the plant. but
Mr.. Sherman held on despite their
avowed intention of deposing him
from the management and editorship
of the paper. He held the whip hand
because the interests that owned the
paper were very DESTROYS, and have
been from the beginning. of keeping
carefully concealed from the public
who were the stockholders in the

The management of the paper has
really Deen out of the hands of Mr.
Sherman since the 2Sth day of April,
when he was officially notified that
he was no longer to consider himself
it's editor and manager. although it is
only fair to Mr.. Sherman to say that
the only question, as he contends, be-
tween himself and the owners of the
publication was whether he could Sc
cure sufficient funds to purchase the
controlling interest in the publica-
ton or give way to other manage

Most desperate efforts were made
by Mr.. Sherman to convince John F.
Vivian, chairman of the republican
state central committee, that he
ought to raise the money and assist
Mr.. Sherman in securing control CT

TIE. STORY
De N IL D
TODAY

Washington. May 23.-At the
White House. today was made an Of
fetal denial of the story that serious
differences arose between the presi-
dent aud Attorney General Bona
parte over the question of bringing
suit against the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad under the
Sherman law, in connection with its
ownership of the the trolley system
of New England, the story going so
far as to say that Mr.. Bonaparte had
threatened to resign.
The statement from the White
House. which goes into detail, is cor
roborated by the personal statements
of the cabinet officers.
The story is mere invention, the
statement says. There was no diff
ference whatever between the presi-
dent and the attorney general ana
there was no division of opinion in
the cabinet.
The suit in question was determ-
ined on some months ago, and the
only question discussed yesterday
was against whom it should be
brought.

CHARGE
Especial to The senItsnel.)

Denver, May 23.-E. Chaplin Gard
mining promoter, with Offices at 319
Charles building, who was indicted
by the federal grand jury on the
charge of using the mails in further
ance of schemes to defraud, has
been placed under arrest.
He is alleged to have sent out al
Turing literature about properties in
southern Utah, which government In
spectors claim did not justify his
advertising claims. He told some OF
his correspondents, it is said, that he
had mines next to established camps
which had produced from 100000
600 to S35, 100000 in the past few
years.

HONOR THE MEMORY
OF THE DEAD
VICTORIA
Especial to The sentinel.)

London, May 23.-Wherever the
British standard floats the subject of
King Edward will tomorrow play low
ing tribute to the memory of his
queen-mother, the great and good
Victoria, whose birthday anniversary
this year falls ON Sunday. In London
the observance commence today and
was accompanied by the usual patri-
otto exercises and athletic events
that mark what is now called Empire
Day.
Despite the popularity of King Ed
ward among the masses of English
people, his birthday has never been
marked by such exhibitions of patri-
otto enthusiasm as even now extends
to the celebration of Victoria's natal
day. Perhaps this is largely due to
the conservatism of the British peo-
pie. who, through the reign covering
over three score years, have come to
regard May "a as a permanent holi-
day.
Another royal holiday will be cele-
brated Monday, which will be the
41st anniversary of the birth of the
Princess of Wales.

THE EFFORTS

Attempt to Get Site for Grand Junction

recognized by the vice president.
Mr.. Guggenheim said
MIR. President, / move that the
$4,000 item for a Grand Junction
postoffice site be reinserted 1t was
stricken out b. the committee after
it passed the house."
LOUDER said Senator Scott OF
West Virginia, who was in charge
of the bill.
There was no immediate response
from the junior senator so the vice
president moved right along:
1.-The question is, Shall the COM
mittee amendment striking out the
Grand Junction appropriation be
adopted?' Those in favor say aye;
contrary, no. The ayes have it. The
secretary will resume the reading.
That was all.
The millionaire senator got lit
tie pale. He sank down into his
seat, wondering what had hit him.
The opportunity for even such a
small bit of fame as retaining $10,-
900 for a Grand Junction building
site was past forever.
The irony of the situation came at
the conclusion of the next paragraph
in the bill. 1t was a 10000 APP
preparation for site at Greeley,
Colo.
Senator Teller. who has been pref
ty strong in his comment on the
methods that got his present col
league a seat, arose and moved that
the appropriation for Greeley be
raised to 100000.
81 accept the amendment" said
Senator Scott. The 100000 was in
serted and the senate proceeded on
it's tranquil way.

not announced until this morning.
Rev. H. S. Stuntz, Rev. Wilson S.
Lewis and Rev. w. A. Quayle are
in the leading places up to this time
Rev. Stuntz jumped from 1875 votes
and elevtnth place on the fourth bal
lot to third place with 4,227 votes on
the seventh ballot. On the last two
ballots he maintained his strength.
Rev. NJ. C. Mason, the leading col
ored candidate, has withdrawn from
the contest. Missionary Bishop

the race.
Rev. Hughes of Indiana has lost
considerable strength in the ballot
ing of yesterday and today:
Rev. Goodell lost over 200 votes
