WRIGHT'S SCOMMENT
 ON MAINE RESULT

That the Maine election was decidedly significant and that the republicans 1t seems have gotten their foot into it," "Nwas the comment made upon the victory of the democrats in that state by Gen. Luke E. Wright, former Sec retary of War under President Roose- welt, who is in Birmingham engaged in a suit in the federal court.
 He said the Maine election seemed to indicate that the democrats would sweep the country and have ma jority in the next House of Repre- sentatives.
 'I am not in politics, my boy" said General Wright very automatically. And what I say will not be taken as authority. But should judge that the Maine election, which went democratic, would indicate that the republicans s have gotten into rather deep water. We cannot overlook the fact that this election will influence other normally republican states. Conditions seem to be chaotic all over."

PARTY EMBLEMS
 FILED IN COURT

Duplicate copies of the official party the coming general election were re- ceived by the probate court office yes terday from Secretary of State Frank N. Julian, as required by section 375 of the state code.
 The prohibition party and the pro- gressive republican party, or Davidson faction, have adopted new emblems. the old ones in use at the last general election being abolished.
 Instead of the old design of two hatchets with handles crossed the pro- hibition party emblem represents a shield and battle axes, the shield bear ing the figure of a woman's head. Prohibition" Is written on the wreath of the head and the words Virtue" and "Sobriety" underneath. Above the design is the motto, The safe<y of the people the highest law"
 The emblem of the progressive re- publicans is representative of cir cumscribed eagle, bearing in one talon bunch of arrows and in the other a spray or Ol1Ve. Ine WOruS, fuDl1clty, Progress, Patriotism are written in the circle.
 Only five parties adopted emblems this election, the independence and pop ulist parties not filing such with the secretary of state. The emblems of the democratic, republican and Social ist parties are identical with those used in the last general election. The democratic emblem is that of the fa- miliar rooster, with the notices, White Supremacy" and For the right" The socialist emblem represents globe showing the western hemis- phere with two hands clasped across it. The republican emblem\is the fig- ure of Morettfs statue of Vulcan, bearing the motto, Progress and Pros perity.'
 The official ballots will be printed during October, when the cuts for the emblems are secured and the contract for the printing let by the office of the probate court.

 While Manager Douglas said that he

 Manager Douglas then got down a list of producing managers who will send shows here this season. It con- tained 27 names of men who guide the destiny of the stage. Those 27 men control over 900 attractions" said Man

THE RAILWAY HALL OF FAME
BY CLYDE W. ENNIS
E. F. STOVALL

There is, has been and always will be a certain bond of affection existing be- tween those fellows who hail from Ken lucky. While I have never personally gone after it this way, I suggest meth cd of obtaining a loan, or any courtesy from E. F. Stovall, general agent of the Illinois Central, that is sure to get re- suits.
 Method: Walk into the office. wear broad-brim black hat, smile. Tell MT. Stovan that you come from the ''penna- rife" district of Kaintuck-and then gent ly lead up to the object of the visit. It is about ten to one that loan will be forthcoming, provided-provided, I say that the pay checks have arrived in the mornings mail.
 He began about 2s years ago in Ken lucky as an agent for shore line rail- road A few months afterward this line was taken over by Stuyvesant Fish and his directors. Also was MT. Stovall. He has been in constant service for this length of time and is literally one of the oldest employees, from point of service, on the Illinois Central.
 He is an ardent defender of his friends and his side of every question. Before leaving that grand old state, where the sunshine is continuous, where the birds carol in the wildwood, and where the na- tives are happy the day long," he entered Into all the discussions of the time. And from a physical standpoint he can take care of any doubting person when it comes to an argument.
 His hirsuite appearance is of man about 50 years old, but 1t may be as- sured that he is still this side of 35. The gray locks, so we have it, come from a

 Lawless Action
 Tt does not need to be said that such action in both form and substance is wholly lawless and it leaves 1t entirely unnecessary to ask what sort of justice any public servant could look for whose character was on trial in such a pro- ceeding in the excitement of a political campaign. If there is any relation be- tween lawless methods and the charac- ter of the results, which they accom- plish, this so-called verdict condemns it's authors rather than the official under investigation.
 This action of the minority in no way relieves us from our responsibility under the law The duties which have devolved upon us by the law were not of our own seeking and they have proved laborious ana SOfHe lllutS QlSdb IecdpiC hditiCoF but we conceive that we are still bound 10 follow an orderly procedure and indeed the only procedure that Is open under the law. It is incumbent on us to sift the great mass of evidence and to attempt to reach and render just verdict.
 Every effort was made to induce the minority members to agree to meeting on some early date in Minneapolis or Chicago as might suit their convenience The chairman called the present meet ing The members whose names are hereto attached have spent the day re- viewing the case but being without a quorum are powerless to act and have adjourned subject to the call of the chairman.
 Date of Report
 'The report of the committee cannot be made until December 5 when Con- gress meets and the meeting called for September was for the purpose of con- sidering and discussing what the report | to be made three months thereafter should be. There was, therefore, no haste | or pressure for time.

 | The pretended adoption of report by a political minority and its publication, as | If it were the report of committee, ex- hibited willingness to sacrifice the rights and injure the reputation of the officers investigated in order to obtain a supposed party advantage in the pend ing political campaign.

MEETING OF CREDITORS
OF COLORADO CANNING
COMPANY WIS HELD

A meeting OF the creditors and their
representatives having claims against
the Colorado Canning company is be-
Ing held at the office of Waldo, Daw-
son & Stump this afternoon under the
craftsmanship OF Samuel Trimble, of
Pueblo, referee in bankruptcy, for the
purpose of deciding what disposition
to make of the property, which was
placed in the hands of a receiver a
month or six weeks ago.
Two meetings were held by the cred
itors yesterday, one of them during
the afternoon and the other last night,
for the purpose OF dissolving the re-
ceivership and appointing a trustee
to take charge of affairs. L. w. Fel-
ter, who has officiated as receiver
since the assignment of the company.
was selected as trustee and his bond
fixed at $4,000. He will qualify at
once and enter upon his duties with
out delay. The liabilities of the com
pany are about s175.O0O, perhaps, a
little IN excess OF that amount; the
exact figure being impossible to as
certain at the present time. The as
sets are believed to be nearly $40, 900,
minus about 100000 of mortgages and
assigned accounts. The affairs of the
concern are in a complex condition
and it is difficult TO state how much
can be realized from the sale of the
property. which must necessarily take
place under the law. but it is estima-
ted that not much. II any, more than
twenty-five per cent of the indebted
ness of the concern will be paid

There are about 100 creditors, of
which one-third are residents of Colo
rado, the others being scattered over
half a dozen eastern states. The
Colorado creditors. however, are the
most important from financial view
point as something like two-thirds OF
the Indebtedness of the company will
fall upon their shoulders. The First
National bank of this city. is, perhaps,
more largely interested in the affairs
of the company than any of the cred
itors, although it holds mortgages on
certain property as security for ap-
proximately $4,000.
Much of this Indebtedness is carried
by the former owners of the First Ma
tional bank, and not by the consodi-
dated institution organized at the be-
ginning of the current year. Other
large creditors are the Fremont Coun-
ty- National bank and the First Ma
tional bank of Pueblo. Until the trus-
tee gets things somewhat Strengthened

company's plant at the foot of Eighth

that it must be sold for the benefit OF
