COLORADO MAY SEND
WOMAN TO CONFESS

CANDIDATES OF BOTH PARTIES HAVE
ALREADY ENTERED THE FIELD.
Denver, Oct. Women are oppos-
ing candidates for congress now is the
outlook in the First district OF Colorado,
which includes Denver.
The agitation for woman congress-
man from Colorado started several
months ago with the announcement
that Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, president
of the National Federation of Woman's
Clubs, was willing to make the race.
She is democrat. The sentiment for
her nomination grew fast. Saturday,
to offset the movement for Mrs. Deck
er, the Woman's State Republican
Club, meeting in Denver, unanimously
Endorsed Mrs. Dewey G. Bailey, presi-
dent of the Denver Woman's Club, and
wife of the United States marshal of
Colorado, as candidate for the repub-
lican nomination from the First dis
trict.

THE UNSTRUNG -LuTES.

We have not noticed that our United
States Senators are billed tor any
speeches in this campaign. Maybe the
''smaller fry" can pull off the race
without them, but it would be interest
ing to hear them talk. Senator Daniel
is party nominee, we are told, either
by reason of the fact that nobody
seemed to have 81, 500 to put up, or was
unwilling to bump into the machine.
Usually candidate for such high office
and SO gifted an one makes a few
speeches. We know of no appointment
for the Senator, though hope some will
be made, and especially one for Staun-
ton.
Our other Senator is to be equally
silent if we are correctly informed. We
see no handbills out for him. This is
not his race actually, though it is well

NONE so POOR TO DO HIM
REVERENCE.

There is lamentable lack of eulogy
on the part of Democratic speakers OF
the head of the ticket. The refuge of
them all seems to be in portraying the
achievements of the party in the State
for very long period of time. Only
the brightest spots are shown the visi-
tor, the less pleasing are covered up, or
carefully avoided. A singular anomaly
is presented. Great stress is laid on the
increased expenditures, which must
cause increased taxation, and yet they
point with pride to reduction of five
cents per hundred in taxation. Money
going into the treasury goes out of the
pockets of the taxpayer. If corpora
lions be yielding more revenue than
formerly, corporations are recouping
out of the pockets of the public. The
only body of people who are powerless
is the farmer. He has no combinations
by which he can squeeze or force any
one to contribute to his support. He
is the only producer, the only person
or class of persons who brings into the
worlds market each year the actual
products of his toll. All others, unless
we may say miners, simply use the
products of the soil, evolving from
them some article which has an added
value by reason of their handiwork,
but which would never exist unless the
farmer placed the raw material in the
hand of the manufactures.
The farmer is told that few years
ago the State collected millions of
dollars and wisely dispensed it. Now
she collects millions of dollars and
more wisely dispenses it. He asks of
course where the millions come from
and he is told mot out of your pocket.
Your taxes have been reduced" Then
he is told, continue the party in pow
er and we will do even greater things"
If the farmer did not read, but relied
on these orators telling him who is to
do these things, he would never be
wiser, for they make no mention of the
head of the ticket which they expect
to install.

WILL GIVE UP METHODIST ASSOCIA-
TION FOR CARNEGIE MONEY.
Lynchburg, Va, Oct. A meeting
of the executive committee of the Ran
dolph- Macon Woman's College will be
held at the college here on Wednesday
afternoon, when the status of the col
iege with the Carnegie Foundation will
be considered. While it is not known
what the meeting is called for, it is be-
lieved it will result in steps being taken
to remove the college from the Ran
dolphin system of schools, if it is
found that the action of the general
board taken at Ashland last June. acts
to remove this college from the founda-
ton. 1t is claimed here that the site
upon which the college is located, to-
gether with $1O0,OOO was given by the
Rivermont Company, upon condition
the college board was to be self-perpetu-
atlng, the effect of which would be
changed if the Virginia Conference of
the Methodist Church should be given
the right to confirm nominations to the
board. Local interests have engaged
counsel to push the local end of the
controversy.

Will Now Enter Chicago

1t was given out definitely in New
York last Friday that the Chesapeake
and Ohio Ry. had purchased control of
the Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville
Railroad Company.
The purchase price is understood to
be $9,O0O,000, which will be raised by
an issue of preferred stock of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio company. At what
price this new stock issue is to be put
on the market is not yet known, but it
is expected that the rights will be given
to the common stockholders of the
Chesapeake and Ohio.
By the purchase the Chesapeake and
Ohio gets its own line into Chicago
The Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville
is known as the s'Straight Lineu on the
railroad map. The line is almost a
straight one between Cincinnati and
Chicago, the distance being 2S4 miles.
Ever since Edwin Hawley and his
associates bought the Chesapeake and
Ohio they have been seeking connec-
ton into Chicago. Heretofore and at
the present time, the Chesapeake and
Ohio has entered the Illinois metropolis
over the Big Four tracks, there being a
close traffic agreement between the two
railroads.
The purchase also means that the
Hawley interests will become an active
factor in reaching out for the grain
traffic, and that Newport News will
again become great grain export
point.
The purchase also would mean that
another East and West trunk line,
from Newport, News, Va, to Chicago,
would enter the field as a competitor
for the business from Chicago and the
West, now enjoyed largely by the Balti-
more and Ohio, Pennsylvania and the
New York Central. According to the
opinion of some railroad men, this is
the move by which the Hawley inter-
ests, propose to connect up the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Alton, and Iowa Cen

Gov. Swanson and Hon. Carter Glass
have both made speeches in the present
campaign. Reports of them are that
they utterly annihilated their advera-

This is comforting at least to the speak

ed in these parts, but, when they come
the people hope to hear panegyric on

If MI. and Mrs. Frederick l.. Jo-

is known as 'tMount Gray" in West
Meadows, near Setauket, Long Island,

will prove they have no faith in luck

had been married nine years the 9th of
last month, when their son was born.
The stork arrived at 9O9 o'clock in the

at the ninth hour of the 9th day of the
9th month of the year 1909, after his
parents had been married nine years.

nominated as the candidate of the Re-

OF inquiry by you is as follows:
"Wefavor the traditional Republican
doctrine of local option, counties and
cities to be the unit in all elections to
decide whether or not liquor shall be
sold, and demand rigid regulation and
strict enforcement of the laws.
In accepting the republican nominal
ton [ accepted Herewith the platform
adopted by my party, and if elected
governor shall endeavor to carry out
the policies and pledges therein con-
tanned.
L am advised that the last meeting of
the Anti-Saloon League of Virginia
held at Norfolk the official action of
the League in convention assembled,
declared for the principal of local OPP
ton as the best method of dealing with |
the liquor traffic at present. 1t will be |
seen from the above quotation from the
Republican platform that my party |
has taken position in advance of that
adopted by your league in its latest
convention. Therefore, l now wish to
inquire by what authority you pro-
pound the many questions contained In
your heterogeneous which are at vari-
ance with the well defined purpose of
which you assume to rep
resent in submitting the series of inter-
rogatories 1 received? l do not rec
ognize your right in the capacity of an
official of the Anti-Saloon League of
to catechise me as to temper

In reference to the suggested legisla-
ton beg to say that L am in favor of
the proper regulation of the liquor traf-
tic to the end that temperance my be
promoted among the people; and I will
say that in general way it meets my
approval, and if the proposed laws were
drafted and adopted by the Legislature,
in the event of my election would ap-
prove them.
In considering your interrogatories
you must remember that am not un-
mindful of the fact that practically,
the entire executive committee of your
organization is committed to the can
dldacy and support of my opponent.
Such being the case, naturally regard
with suspicion the series of questions
propounded to me which are SO openly
at variance with the principles adopt

whether or not you and those engaged

gatories are already irrevocably COM
mitted to the support of the candidacy
of my opponent. And if this should
be true, l would like to inquire why
you submit these interrogatories, when,
no>matter what my answer may be it
could not affect your action or vote in

DOCTOR WITH DISHPAN
FAILS TO CATCH BEES
Swarm Leaves for Parts Un-
known Despite His Efforts

SAN RAFAEL, May 6.-Where are
the bees belonging to DIR. Charles du
Bois? They have swarmed and gone
to parts unknown in spite of careful
watching. rafting dishpans and clan 3
ing cowbells, with which Du Bois tried
to stay their flight and coax them
back to the home hive. Now he wants
to find the wandering insects.
Early in the sprinp the doctor
bought a hive of bees. They cost
Sc. He expected them to swarm. and
as the result Mrs. du Bois or himself
were ever on guard, so neighbors de-
clare.
The doctor was doing a bit of den
tistry work on a patient when a tele-
phone call came from Mrs. du Bois.
Hurry. the bees are swarming. was
the extent of the message.
Du Bois swung into his automobile.
The next moment the machine was
careening down Fourth street toward
the Mission, street home of the bee
owner.
He arrived. The swarm had settled
on the hedge. Then they left the
hedge and circled high into the air.
then went in bee line up the center
of the fashionable thoroughfare. SO
did the doctor. He was beating a
tlishpan and rafting cowbeil He
followed them until he gave out and
then returned home. But the bees
winged on and on and on. and as far
as the doctor knows they are still
continuing their flight.

SCARE CREATED BY
TWO FOOT TUNNEL
Hole in Floor and Removal OF
200 Pounds of Sand Causes
Some Excitement
Report That Yeggmen Intended
to Rob Bank Found to Be
Without Foundation

excitement was caused yesterday by
the reported discovery of an attempt
by yeggmen to tunnel under the vaults
of the Swiss-American bank in Fill
more street and secure the $3.50, 900
which the institution carries in its
strongbox. Investigation by the police
proved that the report was distorted
and exaggerated.
Leo Heringhi, owner of the Golden
West jeweIry store, 1881 O'Farrell
street, informed T. c. Tognazzini. man
ager of the Swiss ss-American bank at
1452 Fillmore street WEDNESDAY that
he had discovered what looked like
the opening of a tunnel in the vacant
store at 1879 O'FarrelI street The
banker investigated the matter and
then notified the police.
detective Cornelius was detailed on
the case and found an opening in the
moor OF the vacant store behind the
snow window and in plain view of the
street The hole measured about one
foot by foot and a half. About 200
pounds of sand had been taken from
the hole, in which were found sugar
scoop and trowel. The supposed tun-
mel was about two feet long and was
directed toward Fillmore street.
In order TO reach the vault of the
Swiss-American bank it would have
been necessary to burrow through 80
feet of sand and to break through
two and half feet of brick and con-
crete and steel lining of the vault.
Then the robbers would have been con-
fronted with the problem of dynamit-
ing heavy steel inner safes before they
could secure a dollar
The fmpossibility of reaching the
banks money led the police TO believe
that the yeggmen might have had
designs on the Zano jewelry store,
which is on the corner next to the
Golden West store and only IA feet
from the vacant room where the hole
was discovered.
Heringhi believes that the hole in
the floor was made three weeks ago.
when a rough looking individual pos
ing as an employe of the gas company
asked for the keys to the vacant store
for the purpose of examining the gas
main. He says that he noticed the hole
in the floor some time go. but thought
little of it, believing that the gas man
had cut the hole while looking for
the main.
