Washington, April 1S.-Alice Duer
Miller, the novelist. presented dra-
matte argument for woman suffrage
before the national convention today.
Mrs. Miller is the author of The
Modern Obstacle" Less Than Kin"
and other works and is treasurer of
the Equal Franchise Society of New
York of which Mrs. Clarence Mackey
is president. Mrs. Miller said:
IF thousand years from now l
were writing the history of the wo-
man suffrage movement in this coun-
try. should say something like this:
America was at that time under the
dominion OF two ideas, borne by two
currents. often opposing. One, her
respect for effectiveness, her love for
practical achievement; not only, as
one of her foreign critics said, her ad-
miration for a slick man. but an
honest desire whenever a piece OF
work was to be done to help to do 1t.
The other, and many people won't
agree with me, is the enlargement or
the democratic idea. The Woman

Washington, April 1S-Harriet
May Mills described the quest of the
suffraglsts in New York for legisla-
tion for their cause. She recalled
their experiences with the legislators
at Albany but declared her confidence
in victory in the end. She said in
part:
I'm New York state our Lawmakers
are determined to give us plenty OF
experience before granting us the
vote. To strike that small word OF
four letters from the suffrage clause
of the constitution is laborious
process at best. 1t means carrying
two successive legislatures, and then
carrying the measure at the polls.
Once in quarter of century con-
stitutional convention meets having
power to directly submit amendments
THE rapid growth in sentiment of
the past few years, which is but the
fruit of the seed planted and tended
by those who toiled in this field when
laborers were few, has aroused our
enemies to action.
THE legislature has shown signs
of sympathy and signs of alarm never
before manifested"

The opening of the case was
marked by sharp clash between the
attorneys for the two sides
The defense waged n hard fight on
the court permitting Mr.. Reed, as
special counsel, to deliver the open
ing statement. Judge Latshaw held
that it was entirely legal; but, as a
precautionary move, suggested that
Mr.. Reed be appointed special prose
cutting attorney. This was done be-
fore Mr.. Reed was fairly launched
upon his address.
Frank P. Walsh, leading counsel
for the defense, interposed an objec-
tion to the prosecution introducing
statements regarding any feature of
the case except that dealing directly
with the death of Col. Swope, for
whose alleged murder DR.. Hyde is
now being tried. This objection was
overruled by the court.

Denver. Colo, April 1S.-The big
majority of the members of the Colo
rado Democratic State Central Com
mittee went on record late Saturday
afternoon as emphatically opposing
the calling of the extra session of the
legislature, as demanded by Governor
Shafroth, former Senator Patterson,
and ex-Gov. Charles Thomas, but held
that If the governor insists on calling
the extra session that it is demanded
that he procure pledges from the
Democratic members to enter a joint
caucus and abide by the decision.
After vigorous debate on each side
with ex-Gov. Thomas as the principal
opponent OF the resolutions and
Speaker Lubers as the principal sup
porter. the following resolutions in
troduced by former Senator Frank
Moore, of Canon City, were adopted
by vote of 6S to 26, showing plainly
that the calling of an extra session
would be very unpopular with great
majority of the Democrats of the
state:
BE it resolved, That the state cen

any extra session of the legislature,
but in case the governor should, re-

The Day He Expected to Join the

~ Beyond Inevitable Grave.
THE DEATH WAS UNEXPECTED

~ Ia very hour he had hoped Ia
be able to be at the Methodist church
for the purpose of receiving the ord
inances OF baptism and membership
in the church, and at the very hour
at which his young. son was being re-
ceived into the church, George E.
McCann, well known carpenter of
this city. passed from earth to etern-
ity.
The death is one of the saddest
that has occurred in Grand junction
in many months.
The death occurred yesterday
morning about 1880 o'clock at the
family home at 10S South Seventh
street and was great shock to the
family and the friends for it was not
believed that death was near although
Mr.. McCann's condition was consid-
cred as serious. In fact but limited
number of the friends of the family
knew of Mr.. McCann's illness. Death
was caused by typhoid fever and fol-
lowed an illness of only few days.
The deceased is survived by his
wife and two children and brother,
Edward McCann, who is a carpenter
and contractor. The deceased was 40
years of age. To the family the blow
is terrible one.
The deceased and family came to
this valley only about eighteen
months ago, coming here from New
York state for the benefit of the
health of members of the family. The
deceased and his brother have, ever
since coming to the city, been active
In the carpentering and building cir
cles. The two men have built a num-
ber of handsome homes, both being
workmen of the highest ability.
The deceased was a man of fine
character and during his residence
here had made a great host of warm
friends. He was a good citizen in
every sense of the word and his death
is aesincere loss to the community.
He was member of several fratern-
ity orders including the Masonic,
Woodmen of the World, Royal Neigh
bors and Odd Fellows, and in all of
these orders he was in good standing
and was highly esteemed. He was a
member of Carpenters and Joiners

which has brought Taft so much
criticism, was written on the
train going from Milwaukee..and
the engineer slowed the train
down so the speech might besfn-
ished. Roosevelt would have had
such a speech reviewed by his
cabinet days before time for de-
livery.
The Washington correspond
ents declare that Taft does not
read newspapers or magazines
that are inclined to criticize his
administration. In fact, he
brooks no unfavorable criticism
from the outside. A newspaper
man whom Taft had taken a
fancy to incurred the presidents
displeasure recently by suggest
ing that the scheme ofcutting off
insurgents patronage would be
unpopular. Taft turned his back
on this friendly reporter and has
not seen him since.
1t is a presidential custom to
write congress a message far
enough in advance to permit of
mailing printed copies to news
papers for use on the day of the
reading in congress. Taft has
been late with all of his messages.
On one occasion a long message
had to be telegraphed entire to
the press of every city in this ma
ton. Then, too, Taft isnotsure
of his words. When he does get
a message up in advance he fol
lows it with corrections galore.
These are sent out at the last
moment. There were more than
800 words to correct in his con-
servation message.

THE REAL VIM. H TAFT.

Everybody loves a fat man,
they say. The fat, round face
smiles beautifully. Almostevery
one thinks President Taft a Jolly
fat man. Some widely published
snapshot pictures ofTaft smiling
have helped to make this impress
sion general.
Here are some facts about Taft
which will surprise most people:
He rarely smiles. When he, does,
it seems forced. He has a hot
temper and is not alwaysi in con-
troll of it. When he gets angry
the back of his neck becomes very
red and his eyes snap. He says
ugly things for which he some
times apologies when he has
cooled a bit. Frequently he uses
language almost as choice as
that of Joe Cannon. Members
of the Roosevelt cabinet used to
say that Taft's talk was more
radical than Roosevelt's, though
his radical actions were always
forced by T. R.
Taft did a great deal OF. travel
ing for Roosevelt, and was known
as the imam on the job" There
fore the popular idea is that he
is a very active spirit. Asa mat
ter of fact, one OF his great per-
sonal faults is his inaction. He
is a procrastinator OF the first
water. He delays important ac-
tions until the last moment

Bill to Define Employers Liability.

Washington, D. c., Feb. IT,
Executive officials of many OF
the leading railroads of the Unit
ed States attended the hearing
before the house judiciary COM
mittee TODAY on the bill intro
duced by Representative SABBATH
of Illinois defining the amount of
compensation to be paid by en-
ployers to employees in cases of
injury or death. The measure
provides that the amount paid
shall be based upon the amount
OF the previous earning power of
the victim, and that it shall be
paid in the form OF an annuity.
The bill has already attracted
much attention among employ
ers from the fact that if enacted
it would overturn the present
employers liability law and re-
volutionize the existing system
ofindemnity for personalinjuries.
Representative SABBATH has
modelled his bill after the exist
ing laws of England and Ger
many. 1t is intended to apply
to all railroads and steamship
companies engaged in interstate
or foreign commerce and to any
company engaged in any capa-
city in handling the mails of the
United States. Even the United
States government would be
bound under it's terms to pay
compensation to its employees in
the postal service injured or killed
in the performance Of their duties.
In the event of the death of an
employee as a result of injuries,
employers would be required to
pay an annuity equaling 70 per
cent of his average monthly earn
ings to his family or next of kin.
Fifty per cent Of the employees
maximum monthly earnings
would be paid in case of total
disability not exceeding six
months. Beyond that length Of
time the injured employee would
receive two-thirds of the amount
OF his earnings during the period
of impairment.
The bill would establish court
to be known as the federal COM
mission Of injury awards, and to
consist of three members to be
appointed by the president at
salaries of $4,000 per year each,
with full authority to inquire in
to and prosecute claims and to
employ necessary assistants.

BIG AEROPLANE DROPS.
The Largest One Yet Made Falls Into

Plau, Germany. April 14.-Major
Won Parseval's new aeroplane, the
largest yet constructed and which early
this month underwent successful pre-
liminary trials here, was caught in a
violent wind while flying over Lake
Plau today, and, turning turtle, fell
into the waters.
Engineers Blochmann and Hoff es-
capped uninjured. They dropped with
the machine. but succeeded in freeing
themselves from the wreckage and
were picked UP by a passing craft.
Major Won ParsevaPs invention
which came to grief today is a mono
plane with four cylinder motor of
120 horse power. 1t carries ITO pounds
of petroleum, and was expected to re-
main in the air three hours. The
breadth of the plane is II feet and
the. length of the machine is As feet.
It is provided with torpedolike floats
for descending on water and with
wheels for a descent on land.
