Denver, March THAT ex-Gover-

candidate for the nomination for the
presidency at the national Democratic
convention in this CITY on July z, is
inferred by local Democrats who are
closely watching the trend of political
events from the fact that the large

sas Every Republican would then
have an opportunity to choose for nm
self the brand of politics which he pre-
fers and the party could then go on
record as standing for or against tne
principles advocated by the progressive
element Of the Republican party In THIS
state.
This is the only fair and square way
to settle the question at issue II ma
jority of the Republicans OF kansas
are IN favor of continuing the old sys-
tenn of politics as was advocated by
large number of the leading machine
men who attended the convention at
Topeka, March 4, then it would be un-
just to the Republican party to noml-
nate me as their candidate for COVER
nor, and If on the other hand there is
an overwhelming majority of Repub1-
cans in favor of the progressive policies
and principles with which L have been
identified during the past few years in
this state then it is only fair that the
relative strength as to two factions OF
the party should be shown and the
questions of the future policies of the
party be finally determined and estab
lished by the voters themselves who
have the sovereign right to finally set

CANAL TO BE
COMPLETE
Especial to The sentinel.)


Washington, Mar. 5.-Up to the
first of March S,414,934 cubic yards
of excavation had been taken from
the Panama canal route. This is
just one-fifth of the entire amount
that was estimated May 1, 1904. that
would be required to be excavated to
complete the waterway, viz: 142,-
100000 cubic yards in round num-
bers.
Should the work proceed at the
present rate, it is estimated the re-
naming excavation would be COM
pleted in three years.
However, it is understood that the
work of excavation will not be
pushed to completion, but that mean
while construction of the locks will
proceed, the intention of the COM
mission to finish all parts of the ca
nal construction at about the same
time.
Notwithstanding that there were
two less working days in February
than in January, the amount of exca-
walton on the canal was 733,312 Gu
bic yards greater, the total excava-
tion for February being 2,945,8S0
cubic yards.

no question but what he Is greatly
chagrined over being unable to take

In the meantime Force enters to-
night the prison walls of the Canon

tence of not less than years nor
more than 8 years.

District Attorney Selig and Sheriff
Schrader declare that the Wyoming
authorities had expressed willing
ness to stand all the expenses of re-
turning Force to Grand Junction If
they failed to convict him but were
not willing to pay the quite heavy ex-
penses attending the capture and ar
rest of Force and his confinement in

gle for the possession of the prisoner.
between the Mesa county and the

HOW HE PROVED
THE VENDERS
FAULTY
Especial to The sentinel.)

Washington, Mar. with the
aid and connivance of Chief Wilkie
of the United States secret service.
Representative Howard NJ. Snapp of
Illinois, with bad money, obtained
from the stamp vending machines of
the Washington postofiice 80 cents
worth of stamps.
Once before this week he obtained
almost an equal amount by the use
of counterfeits and was threatened
with arrest by a policeman on guard
at the postoffice, upon complaint of
the tender of the machines
Representative Snapp in both in
stances returned the stamps to Third
Assistant Postmaster General Law
she, with full confession. and he
is now prepared to tell the house of
representatives that stamp vending
machines, some of which are in
stalled in New York. Chicago and
Detroit. as well as Washin gton, are
a failure.
When the postoffice appropriation
bill was pending before the house
committee on postoffices, Representa-
tive Snapp was instrumental in hav-
ing stricken from the bill an appro-
priation of $4,000 to enable the
postmaster general to further inves-
tigate these machines.
Recently four of them of German
make, based upon an American in
vention, were Installed in front of
the Washington postoffice, as a test.
Two of them are 1-cent slot ma
chimes. one of which sells 1-cent
stamps and the other postal cards
Two others are 10-cent machines,
one of which sells 2 5-cent stamps
for every dime inserted in the slot
81 am almost tempted to go down
there tomorrow with enough slugs
to empty the machines, just as a
protection to the government" said
Mr. Snapp last night. "Why, my

MRS. MOVES SHOT
DOWN BY MURDERER
(special to The Sentinel. J


Los Angeles, CAL, Mar. 5.-A cor
oner's jury summoned to investigate
the death of Mrs. Charlotte l.. Noyes,
who was shot and killed last Friday
night by w. P. McComas, has re-
turned verdict to the effect that
Mrs. Noyes was shot by McComas
with intent to kill.
Practically the only bit of new ev-
idence introduced was the produc-
ton of a revolver by police detect
ives, who swore that it had been
found by Captain of Detectives Flam-
mer and City Prosecutor Fleming in
the bed occupied by Mrs. Noyes on
the morning following the killing.
The weapon found by the police is
of 80 caliber, while the revolver used
by McComas was of 3S caliber. The
police affirm that the revolver sup
posed to have been owened by Mrs.
Noyes was fully loaded when found,
thus weakening the theory of the de-
fense that Mrs. Noyes had fired at
McComas before he shot her.
The undertakers who have charge
of Mrs. Noyes body have been Or
dered to ship the remains to Melrose
Highlands, Mass, where it will be in
tered by relatives.

JAPAN TO BLOCK
THE ASIAN
RAILWAY

Peking, Mar. 5.-The British
newspapers in China are giving the
most serious consideration to the at
titude of Japan, which they assert
will defeat the object of the alliance
looking to the integrity of China.
The stand taken by Japan in Man
churia in the matter of the railway
question has given rise to much dis
cussion; but the determination of
Japan in invoking all its diplomatic
resources to back up its position with
regard to its refusal to permit the
construction of the Hsin Min Tun
Fal1umen railway has to some ex-
tent altered the tone of the press
comment.
The representatives of the powers
have referred to their home govern
ments in detail the matter of the
Hsin Min Tun Fakumen railway and
the question of the control of the
Hardin municipality. The British
government is anxious for settle
ment of the Harbin question so that
precedent may be furnished to Ja-
pan. Upon the decision of the pow
ers as to whether China intended to
convey a settlement of the munich
pality rights by the railway conces-
sion or whether the possession of
large tracts of land at the Harbin
makes the Russian position different
from that of the Japanese may de-
pend future action looking to the re-
straining of Japan. although the sit
uation is believed to be outside the
control of the powers unless China
is able to arouse joint aid.
Capt. Barnett, commander of the
guard of the American legation. has

tion. The company could locate in
the old plant of the Richmond car

increased by the addition of the motor
carriage branch, but the westcott es-
tate values this property at $4,000
and If purchased considerable amount
OF money would have to be expended
on il in remodeling.
The Westcott Carriage company
now employs It's men and when the
motor carriage business is added the
working force will be increased to'250I
men. This company has always been
among the most substantial industries
in the city and the prospect of its re-

business men of this city for the first

of following the example of hustling

With the combination of the Shorts

of the Shortsville plant will be brought
