NO PARDON FOR COL
LINS SAYS SHAFROTH
GOVERNOR WILL NOT GRANT 1T
IN CASE OF PUEBLO STREET
CAR BANDIT

Denver. Nov. 22.-when asked by
The Star-Journal representative II he
would pardon C. C. Collins. alias Chas
Barr, now serving time in the Colo
rado state penitentiary. that the con-
victed Pueblo street car robber could
be taken to Nevada to stand trial.
Governor ShAfroth said:
mo. will not pardon Barr. even
should the presiding Judge and the
prosecuting attorney petition me to;
but should the evidence in the case
warrant 1t. will grant n cummuta-
ton OF sentence that he may be taken
back to stand trial. and II not con-
victed he would then be returned to
Colorado to f1nish his sentence. But
the evidence will have to be conclu-
sive In the case. and clear case OF
guilt shown before I will grant even
Communication"
Owing to the fact that Barr is al
legged to have made a confession that
he was the Nevada murderer. the Pu-
eblo county officials have been report
ed as working to obtain his release
for him, that he could be taken back
would result in complete freedom for
Barr. should he not be proven guilty
OF murder In Nevada, and the COM
muted sentence is the best that can
be obtained under the circumstances.
and that only after proof enough is
shown the governor to warrant his
changing his usual policy and grant
IL.
During the course OF his statement
Governor Shafroth made clear his
stand on pardoning prisoners. and he
said that unless a sentence was ex-
treme. as is occasionally the case, or
in case OF proved innocence. he would
not pardon anyone. despite the many
petitions filed with him. He says: "A
prisoner at the penitentiary. sentenced
for. say ten years. can. with good be-
havior. get his release in about half
that time. and think with the good
that the law does. It is not necessary
for me to pardon anyone. That Ia why
the law was made. to allow prison
ers to get out before their sentence
was served. and It is working for
good.

ly injured as result or an automo-
bile accident late last night.
The dead are:
CURTIS WILLIAMS OF Fort Gaines,
Ga.

HORACE SHEPARD, of Edison. Ga.
The injured are:
Miss Helen Mattox, aged 20, Cole

The accident occurred as the party
was returning from Cuthbert to Cole

With the purpose of being married,
James Shepard and Miss Helen Mat
tox. accompanied by Horace Shepard,
brother of the groom and Mary
Mattox, a sister of the bride-to-be,
secured an automobile from Fort
Gaines late yesterday afternoon and
were quickly driven to Cuthbert by
Curtis Williams. Upon reaching this
point all the ministers refused to
marry the couple on account of their
youth, neither of them having passed
their Goth birthday. After being un-
able to secure the services of min
lister the party hastily left the town.
Speeding along at a rate of thirty
miles an hour and while attempting
to light a cigaret, Williams lost con-
troll of his machine, crossing a thirty
foot bridge over the Central of Geor-
gia railway and the party was dashed
to the railroad tracks below.

Ell PASO ASKS
TO HAVE E0AG
MADE LONGER
SEEKS TO HAVE CANON CITY
HIGHWAY RUN CLEAR
INTO SPRINGS

Colorado Springs. Nov. 23.-Colo-
RADIO Springs business men are con-
sidering the creation by private con-
tribution of a fund for bringing into
The Springs the road which the con-
yicts are building between that town
and Canon City. At present the ter
minus of the road is on the summit
of the divide between the Arkansas
and the Fountain rivers, at a point
known as Red Hill, and it is under
stood that the penitentiary officials
intend to leave it to the commission
ers of Ell Paso county to extend the
road from that point into Colorado
Springs. The county funds in their
this expense, according to reports.
and a movement is on foot among the
Dublic spirited citizens to raise the
necessary amount by subscription.
The commissioners of Ell Paso coun-
ty came up to Denver last week to
confer with Charles W. Comstock.
the state engineer, on the possible
ity of their being given a share of
the Denver-to-Colorado Springs high
way appropriation for use in their
county. The state has on hand about
$4,000 for that highway; $14,300 OF
II being what is left of the fund ap-
propriated for the Denver-Platte Can
on roadway, which was abandoned.
and $4,000 being the last appropria-
ton made for the Denver-to-Colo-
RADIO Springs road proper. The Ell
Paso county commissioners stated
that II a certain amount of that fund
be given them for their part OF the
road between Denver and Colorado
Springs they would apply an equal
amount from the county funds on the
road between Colorado Springs and
Canon City.
This sum, IL added to the private
subscription which is being talked
of, would be sufficient, II is thought,
to prolong the road from its present
terminus all the way into town. The
road which the convicts are build
ing between Canon City and Colorado
Springs was inspected not long ago.
by Deputy State Engineer ]. w. John
son, and found to be exceptionally
we'll constructed. When It is COM
pleted and the two terminal towns
have supplied the last links neces-
sary. a fine scenic highway will be
the result and the possibilities for
automobile travel increased appreci-
ably.

DEAN PECK, OF DENVER,
DELIVERED EXCELLENT AD-
DRESS AT OPERA HOUSE
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
There was a splendid assemblage
of men at the opera house Sunday af-
ternoon to hear the address of Dean
Peck of Denver. which was one of the
most masterfuJ of its kind heard in
Canon City for a long time. The gath
ering was under the auspices of the
Y. NJ. C. A. and combined entertain
ment with intellectual and spiritual
exaltation.
Preceding the introduction of the
speaker, ]. L. Haley of Butler. Indi-
ana, who has charge of the music at
the evangelistic meetings being con-
Quoted at the Christian church, fa-
vored the audience with a vocal solo
that was highly enjoyed and appre-
ciated by all present. Another feature
of the program was the rendition OF
of twelve pieces under the direction
of Miss Nellie Felter. 1t was the or
chestra's first public appearance and
its superb playing was the subject
of general admiration. A deserving
compliment was paid it by Dean Peck
who stated that its playing was equal
to anything he had ever heard.
Although the public had expected
much from Dean Peck as a speaker.
it Is safe to say that there was no dis
appointment among his auditors in
relation to his magnificent address
Predicated upon a scriptural text
from the writings OF st. Paul It was
an earnest. impassioned plea for
Christian citizenship and right living.
Il was an analytical exposition OF the
various qualities that enter human
nature and of the proneness OF man
kind to do wrong. He pointed out the
futility OF man to correct his habits
without the Divine assistance. show
ing that he was helpless IL he relied
upon his own strength to attain that
goal which was the ultimate ambition
of the human race. Man, however
debased he may become. loves right,
rather than wrong. but is too often
unwilling and rebellious to make use
of the only way that leads to saliva
ton. It was a message of great i'm
port that Dean Peck brought to Canon
City and the men OF the community
owe the Y. NJ. c. A. debt OF graft
tude in making II possible for them to
hear 1t.

A BIG BUNCH
OF EXPENSIVE
BOOK PAPER

Scenic Drives" is printed on fine
enameled book paper-an expensive
kind.
How no expense was spared in pro-
ducng this fine little book OF Canon
City scenery is best told in the mar
gin.
After the book was all ready for the
press and the paper extraordinarily
ton of 1.-THE question of margin
was discussed in The Record office.
The publishers thought the cuts would
show off a little better If the margins
were a quarter of an inch wider on
each side, making the book just a
half inch wider. To do this a much
larger sheet of paper was necessary
to cut the book from. But IL the views
would look better with the additional
margins that would be done, so the
order for paper was cancelled by wire
and a larger sheet ordered.
1t took just 800 pounds high-priced
ter OF an inch margin-but it paid. 1t
gave the book a perfect proportion.
You must see copy OF Scenic
Drives" to appreciate it. It's abso-
lutely the swellest view book ever put
out by a small city.
The price is only 25 cents-or wrap

MAKES GOOD SUGGESTION

There is something rotten In Den
mark" is an old saying. the origin
of which | do not know. However. IL
carries a suspicion that some one or
more are planning to do something
wrong or willfully neglecting plain
matter OF right and duty on the
ground of humanity toward their fell
low men. because forsooth charity
brings no monetary values into their
hands. They take no interest in any
thing that does not bring in the
shekles.
On the other hand, there are many
good. kindly disposed, easy-soing
Christian people with abundant means
in whom the spirit is willing but the
flesh is weak" who are not hunting
for anything to disturb the even
tenor OF their way.
Canon City boosters have been ad-
city as a great health resort. conse-
quently the afflicted come. and among
them a considerable number OF con-
sumptives. to find no open door for
them to lodge for a single night II
the character of their disease was
known. My daughter runs a boarding
house She is compelled to refuse
them admittance. as It would drive
every boarder out the same day a
consumptive entered. Most OF them
are honest and will admit that physi-
clans have pronounced against them.
But some won't tell and get in by
deceiving you as TO what the exam
lining physician pronounced In their
case quickly reveals itself
There have been a number within the
past month who applied for room and
board whom we were compelled to
deny, yet IL Is a hard thing to do.
During last spring and winter we
fed over a hundred tramps who were
consumptIves, only in the way OF the
vast quantity OF food they could store
in their coporeal systems. for which
we received nothing. But that does not
help the sufferer from tuberculosis.
The people of the city have made
no preparation for the care Of this
class OF sufferers which IT has invited
here. It is their plain duty to prepare
place for them. A comfortable. plain,
inexpensive building with a capacity
sufficient to accommodate all who may
come. Those who are wealthy would
be glad to pay for the comforts OF
such quarters. while the poor should
have them free of charge. Some COM
petent physician should look after Its
sanitary conditions; the cooking de-
partment, ventilation, dlsinfection.
etc.
1t is hoped that the good people OF
Canon City will lnaugurate a move
ment for the accomplishment OF the
end suggested herein.

FIRST SPIKE ON
KANSAS-COLORADO ROAD
DRIVEN YESTERDAY
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Pueblo. Nov. 23.-About 200 Pueblo
boosters, newspaper men and officials
of the road. witnessed the laying of
the first rails and the driving of the
first spike on the Kansas-Colorado
railroad yesterday afternoon with
much enthusiasm.
After many months OF obstacles
and discouraging reports the plans OF
the promoters have at last reached
stage where everybody realizes
that the Kansas Colorado is a go. and
knowing the Importance of the road
TO the city. the business men were
not slow in showing appreciation by
attending the rail laying ceremonies
Following speeches the spot for the
first spike was selected and Mrs
Andrew McClelland was handed big
sledge and she at once began TO get
in some telling blows. SO enthusiastic
was she in the task that she swung
with so much might and main that
there was little work left for General
Manager Johnson. It was just as well
for Col johnson did not have neal
so good an eye for hitting the spike
on the head as Mrs. McClelland, but
he finally finished his task and both
were given great applause.
The boosters then fastened back tc
the city and the work of laying the
remaining rails and driving the re.
naming spikes will go merrily or
until the line is completed.
