The Constitutional Amendments

Every qualified voter should read
the constitutional amendments, which
are being printed in The HERALD.
The first one relates to bonding the
state to take up lot of state war
rants. which are now drawing heavy
interest. A large amount Of state
school fund money Ia tied up In those
warrants. The leading men OF all
parties favor taking up these war
rants by means of a bond issue; all
the commercial bodies likewise IA
vor the proposition. We believe the
proposition will be favorably acted
on by the taxpayers.
The next Ia the Initiative and Ref
erendum amendment. There IL a
great difference of opinion relative to
the merits of this radical change In
the matter of law-making; but 1t IL
apparent that the masses of the peO-
Pile want it, and we believe the people
should have what they want. II the
Initiative and Referendum does not
come up to expectations 1t can be re-
pealed. Vote for 1t and give 1t a fair
trial.
The third amendment Is of such a
meritorious character that there is no
opposition to 1t. In brief, this amend
ment will give the University of Col
orado authority to hold the last two
years of its medical and surgical
course in the city OF Denver. The
constitution of the state locates the
University of Colorado at Boulder. A
decision of the supreme court denies
the right of the university to conduct
any part of Its medical work in Dem
yer, hence constitutional amend
ment IL necessary to secure that right.

such an amendment. The clinical
years OF medical education can be
given most advantageously In a large
city. Other institutions of a like ma
ture. situated identically as the Uni
versity of Colorado, are now giving
it's last two years of medicine in near
by cities. To give the University the
clinical advantages of a large city it
is necessary to give 1t the right to
conduct the last two years OF Its med
ical course in Denver. The Denver
and Gross College of Medicine has
signed contract with the regents of
the University by which it becomes
a part of the medical school Of the
University, next December. The first
two years will be conducted eXclu-
sively in Boulder. beginning In Sep
TENDER. Hence all the medical forces
OF bne RtaCe are u1IDeu III suppoTJ Vi
the proposed amendment. The Amer
lean Medical association and the Col
orado Medical association both favor
the merging of the two schools and
the passing of this amendment. In
1903 the Democratic and the Repub-
lican state conventions unanimously
favored the proposed change.
The fourth amendment to be voted
on concerns the question Of abolish
ing the present state land board, and
creating In its stead new board,
consisting of three commissioners, to
be elected by the people. We believe
the change will be good one.
The fifth, and last, amendment pro-
vides for the payment Of a salary OF
4, 600 per term TO members Of the state
Legislature In lieu OF the present salary
Of 400 a day. This salary is to COW
er services for the two years, includ-
ing special sessions. In our opinion,
this Ia move in the right direction.
and It should be enacted into law at
the hands of the voters.

Edward T. Taylor, for many years
an important factor in Colorado pub
lie affairs, and one of the most con-
sistent boosters. Because Of his splen-
did record In the 8lst congress, no
other name was even considered as
u Democratic candidate this fall, and
he will have practically the same
easy sailing In the election.
CONGRESSMAN FIRST DISTRICT
Atterson w. Rucker turned his
principal attention In congress to a
matter nearest the peoples hearts
via their pocketbooks-that concern
ing the cost OF life's necessities. He

tives of the people.
John A. Martin, who, during the
entire session Of congress was q thorn
in the side of those desiring to donate

test detail, and standing exceptional
ly high with union labor and news
paper men.

FORMOSAN TRIBES MAKE
DESPERATE RESISTANCE
Rocks Rolled Down the Mountains
Kill Japanese

VICTORIA, B. c.. Aug. 4.-Severe
fighting with heavy Japanese losses is
continuing in Formosa, according to
the advices received by the Sazo Maru
yesterday. The japanese are now en-
gagged in capturing Shlnarek Mountain.
pprposing to mount artillery there to
dominate the native strongholds, and
have lost many men by the tactics of
the natives in rolling rocks down the
hills. Rocks weighing tons were
ranged along the hills with props to
be pulled away by the natives, hidden
in ambusCades.
While the Japanese are steadily sur
rounding the head hunters in the
Gaogan district, and are cutting artil-
lery roads TO the top of Bon Bon, they
are losing many men in so doing. 1t Is
considered the complete subjugation of
the natives in this district will require
two months.
The natives attack the Japanese with
reckless bravery, and the final struggle
is expected to be very sanguinary
Numerous minor engagements are
being daily reported to Toxic. A bat
terry of heavy artillery has been dis
patched by sea to Sowo, on the east
coast, and force is being landed here
to push in toward the rear of the
Formosans. The difficulties of the
country are too great to allow rapid
movements. The natives used as scouts
report the native chieftains have re-
solved to fight to the death.

PILE COTTON MOUNTAIN
HIGH ON NEW YORK PIERS
Supply on Hand Makes a World
Record for the Port

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-With 215,25S
bales of cotton in the warehouses and
on piers, all of which must be moved
with the greatest possible dispatch,
New York is today the largest cotton
port in the world.
Brokers who say cotton is not being
sold on speculation and that they are
more occupied these days in signing
bills of. lading than in stock accounts,
deClare such a situation has never eX-
listed Here before, and that no port in
the world ever had so much cotton
ION the move"
In South Brooklyn the bales can be
seen piled mountain high. At single
terminal there are 10000 bales. The
supply now on hand Is made up largely
of July and August cotton, though it
is said the May staple is also in evil
denCe to some extent.
The steamer Prince Friedrich Will
helm will leave tomorrow with 2l72
bales in her hold. The Caroline of the
French line will take 5571 bales on
Saturday. Other steamers have been
booked for space throughout this
month.
on the other side those operators
who are short on the market are en-
gaging freight of 10000 bales, and
this means that the fight between
those who now hold the cotton and
those who have to deliver 1t is not
ended.

August 5-6-7, limit thirty days.

SENATOR CURTIS DENIES
INTEREST IN LAND CASE
Declares He Has Opposed Big At
torney'S Fees

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 4.-Senator
Charles Curtis said tonight that he
would go to Muskogee Saturday or
Monday to appear before the com
mittee investigating the CHARGE made
by Senator Gore
Senator Curtis when told about the
allegations made by Senator Gore, in
which his name was used as one of
those interested in the McMurray con-
tracts, emphatically denied having any
connection with the matter whatever
and gave the president, members of the
cabinet and his fellow senators as wit
nesses to prove his assertions.
Senator Curtis today sent a dispatch
to Chairman Burke of South Dakota of
the board of inquiry and Congressman
Campbell of Kansas, member of the
board in which he declared the use
of his name in connection with the
McMurray contracts was without foun-
dation and that he would appear before
tie commission at any time ana place.
After sending these dispatches Sen
ator Curtis made the following state
ment for the Associated Press:
The use of my name in connection
with the McMurray and Long contracts
is without foundation. I am not and
have not been interested with any of
them directly or indirectly. I have
taken the position that the Chickasaws
and ChoctaWs did not need attorneys
to assist them in the sale of their re-
served coal and asphalt lands, nor in
the sale of their reserved timber lands
! have contended that it was the duty
of the government, under the law
passed by congress, to handle that
property for the Indians. This can be
verified by the president. members of
his cabinet and senator's"

Uses Revolver

OAKLAND. Aug. 4-Despondent be
cause he believed he was about to- be
turned out Of the house of friends with
whom he had lived for some time,
William Cooper formerly of New
York, this morning shot and killed
Mrs. Hurley Buss, dangerously wound
ed her husband and fractured his skull
with a bullet that will cause his death,
The tragedy was enacted in three
room house in the southern part of
this city. Cooper slept on mattress
in the kitchen. At 5:45 O'Clock this
morning when Mrs. Buss came into the
room to prepare breakfast, Cooper
raised on his elbow and, without a

mans forehead. She fell dead.

room, received a bullet in his neck and
the murderer fired the last shot in
his weapon into his own head. Both
men are at the receiving hospital in a
precariOus condition.
Two little girls of the dead woman
were spared, presumably because
Cooper had no more loads in his re-
volver. The family came here from

WAS AN INSOMNIA SUFFERER

PASADENA, Aug. 5.-Tortured by
insomnia and still suffering from the
effects of a mild case of heat pros
tration experienced during a recent
trip to the oil fields near Bakersfield,
Colin Stewart ones of Pasadena's prom
inent citizens, yielded to a sudden i'm
pulse yesterday and killed himself in
a room in the Hotel Maryland. He
used revolver, firing a bullet into
his brain. Coroner Hartwell decided
last night that there will be no in
quest.
The first knowledge of his suicide
came about $50 o'clock yesterday
morning when Mrs. Stewart returned
to the family apartments in the Mary
land after having breakfasted with her
son, Colin Stewart, jr. Examination
showed that the elder Stewart had not
occupied his bed the night before. He
had been in the habit recently of sleep
ing in a separate room not wishing to
disturb the family with his restless-
ness. '
At the time of his death he was
president of the Pasadena Golf as
sociation, the holding company for the
Annandale Country club. He was
president of the Annandale club for
the fiscal year 1907-19OS and an expert
golfer. To him was given much of the
credit for the present flourishing con-
dition of the club, and it is said he
felt much grieved when the proposed
purchase of the club property from
the holding company was taken into
court. He was also a director in the
Overland club o. this city.
Mr. Stewart was 50 years old and
had resided in Pasadena number of
years. He came here from Baltimore,
Md He had been active in the pro-
motion of Pasadena in numerous ways.
No funeral arrangements have been
made.
Estimates of his estate fix it's value
at $500,G0O. He held a $4,000 equity
in the Hotel Maryland company, he
having built the hotel and managed it
several years ago before selling con-
trolling interest to the present COM
panv. He was owner of the Richard

favor of the contracts, but most of his
tribe, he said, maintained their op'
position.
Mr.. Hamon tonight declined to dis
cuss Senator Cores charges, and said
he would not make any statement in
response to categorical questions.
The following questions in an inter-
view were then put to him:
Did you offer a bribe to Senator
Gore?"
II did not"
Did you offer to give him an inter-
est in the McMurray contracts?"
IT did not"
Did you offer to bribe Congressman
Creager?"
'T did not"
did you offer him an interest In the
McMurray contracts?"
IT did not"
Did you mention to Senator Gore
or to anyone else. that Vice President
Serman was interested in the approval
of the McMurray contracts?
'T never mentioned such a thing to
anyone"
did you say Senator Curtis was in
terested in the McMurray contracts?'
Il did not"
Are you, yourself, interested in the
approval of the McMurray contracts?'
Il am not"
Mr.. Hamon declined to answer other
questions, saying he expected to ap-
pear before the committee when he
would tell all he knew.
While submitting to the questioning
Mr.. Hamon laughed heartily, and
while, as he said. he was not disposed
to consider Senator Cores charges as
a joke. yet he declined to show any
anxiety over the developments of the
day. saying he believed his position
in the investigation would be properly
set forth when he went on the stand,
which he hoped to do tomorrow.
At that time he added, he would not
hesitate cheerfully to answer all ques-
tions put to him.

POINT SAN PEDRO, Aug. 4.-Early
today the crew of the schooner James
Rolph, which went aground here yes

that wrecking barge will be here to-
