Students Storm Class Room After
Football Victory and Pledge
to Resist Punishment

DENVER, Oct. 18.-"We want a hoI-
iday' was the burden Of the shouts of
more than 300 students at Denver uni
versity, who reinforced their demands
with changing cowbells, drums and
tin cans, stormed recitation rooms and
declared a strike when their demands
We're refused yesterday. N
According to custom, the students
are given a holiday on a Monday fell
lowing a football victory. Saturday
the Denver university eleven held the
Marquette team to a 0 to 0 score A
number of enthusiasts considered this
in effect a victory, and demanded that
the usual custom be observed.
Shortly after o'clock nearly a
hundred students, led by four upper
classmen, stormed the main building,
entered class rooms, dragging students
and professors into the halls and
threatened to throw belligerent pro-
fessors through the windows.
After successfully breaking up
classes the insurgents retired to the
campus and held serpentine dance.
Deaf to these appeals, Chancellor H.
A. Buchted informed the students at
chapel that the classes would be held
as usual. This order was met by the
declaration of strike by members
of the raiding party.
Fearing the insurgents would be
given holidays for the remainder of
the year when the faculty meets, near
ly 200 students have signed a pledge
to stay away from classes If any of

NIGHT AND DAY BANK
RESUMES OPERATIONS

sets to Newly Elected PreSi-

at 6 o'clock last night, in accordance
with the decree of the superior court
yesterday, ordering Alden Anderson,
state superintendent of banks, to give
possession to the officers and directors
elected at a stockholders meeting held
several days ago.
The court decree declared L. c. Brand
president and ]. S. Moore cashier of the
bank, and its assets were turned over
to them by Mr. Anderson after re-
ceiving their assurances that the bank
would comply with the orders and
regulations of the state banking de-
partment. The business of the bank
is to go on as usual.
Newton ]. Skinner, former president
of the bank, who declares that the pro-
ceedings of the meeting at which new
officers and directors were elected were
invalid for the reason that those pres
ent did not represent two-thirds of the
banks stock, gave out a statement
last evening in which he declared that
the old directors of the bank would
continue their efforts to regain control
Of it. He reviewed the proceedings of
what he termed the trump" meeting
and reiterated his charges that its acts
were invalid.
Alden Anderson, state superintendent
of banking, yesterday was ordered by
Judge Bordwell, presiding Jurist of the
Los Angeles superior court, to turn
over the management of the All Night
and Day bank to the new board of
directors headed by L. C. Brand.
Suit for such purpose was filed only
Monday by Brand, the new president
of the institution, and his associates,
who are John T. Cooper, secretary;
]. S. Moore, treasurer and cashier;
Roy I. Cline, B. F. Cline, Henry Meyer
and w. R. Letton, directors.
They asserted that at a meeting
held October IA, when more than two
thirds of the issued stock was repre-
sented, they were chosen as officers
to succeed the former officials. who
were headed by Newton ]. Skinner,
president.
Anderson in answer filed soon after
the new directors action was begun,
asserted his willingness to turn over to
them the control of the bank, which
he recently closed to safeguard the
interests of the depositors as soon as
the court should determine If such
action were legally correct.

WESTERN PIONEER
DIES At HIS HOME
Funeral of George F. Cope Will Be
Held Today at Residence
on Marathon Heights
CROSSED PLAINS AS A BOY
Established First Quartz Mill in
Montana Helped to
Build the West
CROSSED PLAINS AS A BOY

George F. Cope, pioneer of the
west, is dead at his late home on Mar
athon Heights. Mr.. Cope had been 6
resident of Los Angeles ten years, COM
ing to this city in 1900. He first an
swered the call of the west, however,
when only II years of age. The fu-
neral will occur today and the body
will be buried in Hollywood cemetery.
Mr. Cope was born in Boonville, Mo.
Accompanied by three or four courag-
eous boyhood friends, he made the long
and arduous journey across the plains
to Colorado. After a few years there,
devoted to the quest for gold so gen
eral at that time, he went to Mon
tana and settled at Virginia City when
it was a struggling mining camp. He
engaged in mining in that vicinity and
established the first quartz mill ever
used in Montana. 1t was transported
up the Missouri river by boat and the
charges amounted to $4,000.
AT that time Virginia City was in the
heart of a wilderness. On one occa-
sion Mr.. Cope was lost on the very site
of what is now the city of Helena, the
capital of Montana. Another time he
was stricken with snow blindness
while on a long journey across the
mountains and with a single COM
panion, also nearly blinded, groped and
crawled along a snow covered and
uncertain trail until discovered and
rescued when his strength was al
most gone.
Afterward, when Virginia City be-
came the chief town of all that re-
gion, Mr. Cope took a prominent part
in the convention that organized Mon
tana as a territory, became the
youngest member of the legislature
and for number of years published
and edited the territory's first news
paper, the Montanian. Some years
later he became q resident of Helena
and was officially connected with the
American National bank and after
ward with the First National of that
of the Helena National bank and the
First National bank prior to their con-
solidation.
With his family Mr.. Cope came to
Los Angeles in 1900 and since that time
had continuously made his home in
this city. His beautiful home on the
crest of Marathon Heights, overlook
ing the valley to the sea, is one of the
handsomest in Los Angeles. The
grounds consist of eight acres, highly
improved with almost every variety of
tropical and senli-tropical plants.
Mr.. Cope was married in Virginia
City in 1873 to Barilla Mckinney, who
survives him. The five children born
to this union-four daughters and one
son-are now living in Los Angeles.
They are Mrs. James r. Allen, Mrs.
Will A. Rothwell, Mrs. A. B. Jones,
Mrs. ]. A. H. Kerr and Charles Hal
Cope.
