D. B. HILL DIES
IN NEW YORK
Former United States Senator Passes
Away at His Home, Wolferts
Roost, Early Today.

ALBANY. N. ", Oct. 20.-Ex- Uni
ted States Senator David b.. Hill. died
at his residence, Wolfert's Roost, at
3:45 this morning.
For two weeks he had been Ill with
a cold and complications. Last week
the senator's condition became seri-
Gus. but he had seemed to improve
this week, and yesterday was In good
spirits.
Mr.. Hills age and the tax upon his
vitality, however. brought about a
sudden change during the night. The
only person present at the time or his
death was the senator's purse.
AS a master of politics David b.
Hill had few II any equals. He was
always n strict party man. His life
was filed with disappointments. for
though he held some high Offices, he
failed when he tried for the higher
ones.
He was a prominent candidate for
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent in 1892, but despite his own
states support and the efforts of
Cleveland's host of political enemies,
he was disastrously beaten. This was
Hills worst defeat, for he hated
Cleveland as intensely as one man can
hate another. Cleveland had never
fallen in with Hills idea that politi-
cal machine should be kept oiled
with carefully distributed Offices.
After the campaign OF 1904, when
Hills friend. Alton B. Parker, went
down to defeat before Roosevelt. Hill
had little or no Influence in either
state or national politics.
David B. Hill was born at Havana,
N. Y, Aug. 20, 1843. He was admit
ted to the bar in 1864. He never mar
ried. From the day he cast his first
vote he was intensely interested In
politics, and was a delegate to nearly
every Democratic national convention
for half a century.
He held several minor Offices before
he was elected lieutenant governor OF
New York on the same ticket that
elected Grover Cleveland governor.
When the latter resigned to go to the
white house In 1884 Hill became gov
ernor, and remained In that office un-
til 1891.
In that year he entered the United
States senate. where he served one
term. He opposed Bryan in 1896 upon
the free silver plank and supported
him four years later on anti-imperial-
ism.
After his retirement from politics
Hill devoted his time to the practice
OF law, and he was one of the lead
ing members OF the New York bar.
His home was In Albany.

TAFT WILL
TREAT ALL
As EQUAL
[By Associated Press. !


Beverly, Mass, Sept. 15.-No dif-
ference between the so-called pro-
tgressives and regulars is to be recog-
lnized by President Taft as having ex-
listed heretofore. but all party leaders
will be treated alike as republicans
! in the matter of federal support
, The views of the president to this
teffect are given in a letter from Pri-
vate Secretary Norton to a certain
republican leader in Iowa whose
name is not disclosed.
In this letter Secretary Norton said
that. while important republican leg
islation that was pending in congress
was opposed by certain republican
leaders. the president felt that his
duty required him to withhold federal
patronage from those senators and
representatives who seemed to occupy
a position hostile to the efforts being
made to fulfill the pledges of the par
tvs platform. This attitude on the
part of the president ended, however,
with the more recent primary cleo
tions and nominating conventions, in
which the people have declared them
selves. and the president now looks
on the progressive and regulars alike
as republicans and, as such. entitled
to his support and the support of the
party.
Secretary Norton's letter says that
the election this fall must settle the
question as to whether the differences
existing in the last session of con-
gress shall be perpetuated or forgot
ten.

NAMED BY
DEMOCRATS
IBy Associated Press. !

Denver. Sept. 15.-The nomination
of Governor Shafroth to head the state
Governor Shafroth' TO head the state
democratic ticket again this fall was
accomplished shortly after midnight
by vote of 564 for Shafroth and 537
for jefferson.
The platform adopted today calls
for the enactment by the extra session
of the direct primary law and the
other platform measures; approves
of the extra session; reaffirms the
party's position regarding the CON
servation of the public domain; de
nounces former republican admin
istrations; takes a slap at U. S. SEN
ator Guggenheim; commends B. l..
Jefferson's administration of the state
land office without referring to him
by name and urges the adoption of
the initiative and referendum at the
November elections.
The Denver delegation is trying to
break the Shafroth program and has
united on Mrs. Angela Cook for sec
retary of state against James Pearce.
Leaders in the state convention are
widely separated on the question of
the seven remaining places on the
ticket.
Several of the large delegations
are still fighting Governor Shafroth
and as soon as his followers announce
candidate the opposition seems
about to pick strong man to run
against him.
A dozen delegations held caucuses
this morning, remaining away from
the convention, which made 1t i'm
possible to carry on the business, and
recess was taken until 1870, with
the understanding that the business
of the convention would be pushed
through from that hour.
The threatened third party move
ment, as far as this state is concern
ed. is eliminated by the denomination
of John F. Shafrcth. for governor.
However. there has been no change
in the tentative plans of the platform
democrats to nominate a county ticket
in Denver in opposition to that which
the machine will name on September

THROWS
OUT NOTES Of

A great many local people will be
interested in the fastest developments
with regard to the estate of the late
Theodore p. Bunnell, in regard to the
famous promissory notes which Me
LISA link Funk tried to collect
through the courts. The late Mr..
Bunnell was a large property holder
in this city and many valuable pieces
of realty are still held by the estate in
Grand Junction.
The following dispatch from Los
Angeles tells what the court thought
of the freak promissory notes sued
upon:
Judge Wellborns of the United
States court yesterday disposed of a
suit, pending for years, when he sus-
tained a demurrer to the complaint
in the case of Melissa link Funk of
Indiana against the executors of the
estate of Theodore p. Bunnell, mil
lionaire mining man of Colorado, who
died here five years ago.
The suit was based on three notes,
aggregating 100000, which purport-
ed to have been given in atonement
for wrong done young girl. Judge
Wellborns said the notes had never
been of any value, since each was
made payable after Bunnell's death
They read as follows:
