NO Change IN

TnRMER PLANS CARRIED OUT.

chicago, Sept. 21.-Stories to the
1s.ot that there has been change
~ is to be any change in the man
eosment of the Republican national
compaign appear to be without the
s,iehtest foundation. The Associa-
+ed Press has caused inquiry to be
made in every place that could be
nxnectad to supply any reliable in
fcrmation on the subject, and it is
declared that the campaign is being
conducted along the lines originally
Manned and that the. program will
hc continued without alteration.
Aoparently the stories of the
change in management of the cam
na;en tlong the line that Hitch
cock will be subordinated in au-
4horitv. although remaining thf
nominal head of the committee
originated from statement from
Senator Crane, that he would visit
4he Western headquarters in this
city and to the fact that he has been
IN communication with Taft at Gin.
cinnati. The truth Is that Crane
came to Chicago at the request o.
Hitchcock to discuss the f1financia
end of the campaign.
The money is coming In slowl!
from the West and Middle West
There has been considerable criti
cism of the campaign for not hav
ing shown sufficient action. Hitch
cock and his advisers have worked
on the plan that 1t is ammunition
wasted to make campaigns in state
where local quarrels have overshad
owed the national campaign. and l
50 happens in states REGARDED a.
doubtful that these conflicts wer
being carried on.
Hitchcock refuses to be ruffied b.
the criticism of his conduct OF tn
campaign.
Taft Sends Wire Of Confidence.
Cincinnati, Sept. 21.-Taft sent
telegram to Hitchcock expressing
his confidence in him and in hi

He let out Lawrence this morning

the club as a whole would be better

tion.
Tonight Manager Kitzmiller will
make a detailed statement of all the

his management of the club.
So far as The Sentinel is con-
cerned. it does not believe a more
forceful or capable manager can be
found than Mr.. KitZmiller. He has
always been regarded as absolutely
fair in any sport with which he has
b en- connected, and is man of more
than ordinary executive ability.
1t takes money and brains to con-
duct a base bali club we'll. and with
the ve,y crude beginning with which

On the same line it is to be re-
sretted that Mr.. Goldsworthy cannot
he prevailed upon to stay the remain

made an object for him to remain
with the club. Indeed, it might be

WHERE IS HE,
DO YOU KNOW?
An Insurance Agent Who Worked His Elk Membership to
Finish and Left Unpaid Board Bills, Borrowed
Money and Left Number Of Gentlemen
Wondering if They We're Really Insured

There are a number of people in
this city who would like to know of
the whereabouts of one w. l.. IRE
week, who was in this city for some
time as the representative of the Pa
cfic Mutual Accident Insurance Com
pany and the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company.
Treweek came to this city from
Salt Lake City, and with the specious
plea that he was an Elk, ingratiated
himself into the good graces of a
number of Elks aad other citizens
of this city. He was tall, had san-
dy moustache and was of very pleas
ing address.
Treweek, so it is asserted is want
ed for the payment of good sized
board bill, which he failed to pay
Mrs. St. John, at G2S Colorado ave
nue., and also by number of those
whom he insured who paid him the
first premium and have heard no
thing from the companies that Ire
week represented that he has turned
the money into the proper channels
in the Offices of these companies.
He was very handy at borrowing,
and n number of friends CD of the
gentleman are mourning the loss of
sundry small sums of money which
were to be returned the very next
day after being borrowed, but which
have still remained unpaid.
Among those who would like to
know something OF the insurance
money that they paid Tfeweek, and
whether they are really and surely
insured. are Howard Fletcher. Harry
B. Jones and James SilcoX an1 9th
ers of the Fruit Growers Association
and quite few others.
1t is said that Treweeks family re-
sides in Salt Lake City, and tnat h $
father is a very prominent man in
that city. If Treweek intended to be
honest in his transaction. he took
a most unpleasant way of showing 1t.
if skipping his board bill and leaving
unpaid large number of small debts
is any criterion.
Letters have been sent to Salt
Lake City making full inquiries OF
his lodge. which is the famous No
50 of that city and also from the
representatives in Salt Lake City OF
the companies he represents.

COUNCILS
WORDY WAR

The second meeting of the city
council for the city of Grand juno
tion for the month of June was held
last night in the council chamber
There was very little business
transacted at the session, the session
being devoid of any great amount of
interest, save a slight tilt between
Alderman Hertz of the 1st ward and
two gentlemen who We're hoping to
secure permission to place some ad
vsrtising on several of the more
prominent street corners in the heart
of the city.
An agreement granting permission
by the council had passed at pre-
vious session of the council: but, on
due consideration, it was deemed ad-
visable to rescind the PERMISSION that
had been granted.
Alderman Flynn moved that the
previous permission granted to the
sign company. as represented by Mr
Hewlett. be rescinded. The motion
was seconded by Alderman Davies.
I Speaking in favor of resembling the
notion. backed up by the opinion of
Attorney Rozzelle. brought him in
conflict with Mr.. Hewlett.
That gentleman believed that Mr.
Z
ilege being granted and this led to
wordy war between Mr.. Hewlett
and Mr., Hertz, which in the end was
| nothing more than a tempest in a
I teapot.
The opinion of Attorney Rozzelle
was that the council could not grant
to any private corporation the privi-
Iege of exposing signs on the public
streets-using those streets for pri-
vate purposes, which it would be in
effect.
The motion prevailed.
The little tempest was not over
two or three minutes in duration.
! No one was hurt, and the council
then proceeded on the regular order
of its business.
The ordinance licensing local auc-
tioneers brought forth considerable
discussion. In opposition to its pass
age j. A. McLucn and j. \. Graham
appeared and spoke before the coun-
ell. In opposition thereto Mr.. Can
nell, second hand man. After con-
siderable debate the ordinance was
ordered printed.
A petition from the Grand June
