Schurman DenounceS
Referendum and Recall

DENVER, Col. July S-Unsparing
denunciation Of the initiative, referen-
dunn, and recall by Jacob Gould Schur-
man, president of Cornell University,
in an address here, has aroused con-
siderable discussion among politicians
today.
IF the duties Of lawmaking and in
terpretating the laws are pushed upon
the people of this country, one-man
rule will inevitably result" he said.
THE community Is bound to center it's
confidence in certain men who repre-
sent their sentiments at the time. The
Government will eventually became a
one-man system, and this man will
have behind him the power Of the peo-
pie he is able to interest: This system
created Julius Caesar. 1t Is the very
reverse Of the representative form Of
government upon which this republic Is
built.
'The recall is, however. the worst
feature of our Government today. It
undermines representative government. -

ROBERT v. cox IN
DISTRICT JAIL AF TER
HITTING HIGH SPOTS
West Virginian Comes to
END of Rope" by Passing
Worthless Check.

There was sorrow, mingled with an
ger, along Washington's Great White
way today. when 1t became known
that Robert Warren Cox. after spending
money for several months I'm cafes,
hotels. and other places with a reckless
ness seldom seen in the Capital City, had
c"me to tire ''end OF his rope" leaving
n string Of debts. the police assert, ag-
gregating several thousand dollars.
A few weeks ago Cox suddenly disap-
pcared from his usual haunts. His
friends understood that he had gone
would be back in a short time How
ever Co*'s creditors. who had become
rather insistent with their bills, were
not entirely satisfied with this expla-
nation. and when they took up the trail
they We're surprised to find that it led
them to cell in the District jail. The
pseudo millionaire had been arrested by
Detectives Evans and O'Dea on a
charge Of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses. The specific charge on which he
Is being held is passing an alleged bad
check at the st. James Hotel
The police are not satisfied that they
have found out everything there is to
learn about Cox's past, and for that
reason he has been confined in Jail for
nearly a month without being brought
into court for trial.
Cox faces a matrimonial rredicament
that may prove embarrassing, to say
the least. The police have learned that
While Cox was flush he maintained
apa -tments in two Avenue hotels and
represented that the two women who
lived in them were his wives. The pO-
lice say that the real Mrs. Cox was the
woman with whom he lived at the st.
James Hotel for several months.

PREPARING FOR TRIP
TO ATLANTIC CITY
Capital Delegation, in Full
Regalia, to Attend
Convention.
ONE PARTY WILL
HAVE SPECIAL CAR
]. L. Ward, Exalted Ruler Here,
Sees Big Fight Over
Elections.

Great excitement in the camps OF the
thousand or more Elks of Washington
combined with the noise of much
scrubbing and polishing Of horns and
hoofs and brushing up of Sunday
duds'' this morning, put the city wise to
the fact that the big annual national
convention, which meets in Atlantic
City July 10 is at hand, and that the
Capital City members are on the job
ready to attend in full force and re-
gala. 1t is expected that at least 100
delegates will attend.
A party of twenty-five, including w.
Nor ison, c. Krener, ]. L. Farrell, A.
Huber, A. johnson, E. Van Fleet, T.
Quill, c. Caldwell. ]. Perry, J. Nee
han, R. Collins, A. Barron, J. Ward,
w. Burdine, J. Hooper, D. Fowler, R.
GLIB. w. Girard, w. Spencer, F. HUM,
D. u. Sullivan, and L. Johnson, will
leave on a special train tomorrow
morning.
Ward Sees Big Meeting.
James L. Ward, exalted ruler OF the
Washington Lodge, and the accredited
delegate to the convention, will leave
tomorrow night. Mr.. Ward, who will
have a voice on the floor during the
three days pow-wow, said today he
believed it would be the largest gather
ing of Elks in the history of the So
ciety.
He believes Col John p Sullivan, of
New Orleans, will be chosen exalted
ruler, although Arthur c. Moreland, OF
New York, will give him a run for his
money.
while the Washington Lodge has in
dorsed Mr.. Moreland, l may vote for
Colonel Sullivan" Mr.. Ward said.
While the Washington Lodge has in
dorsed Mr.. Moreland, the Endorsement
is not binding and l am at liberty to
vote the way l see fit. Colonel Sullivan
is being doomed strongly through the
Southern states. and unless 1 am much
mistaken he will win out. The third
candidate, Charles R. Rasbury, of Dali
las, Tex, is not so well known in the
East"
AS to the fight between Portland and
Boston for the next convention Ward
said he thought the Western city would
win out.
Many Already There.
Atlantic City is flooded today with
the delegates from each state and their
wives and friends. The great rush be-
gan in ernest before nooa today and
every hotel and boarding room in the

All signs point to a record breaking
crowd. The city has put on her best
bib and tucker to welcome the visitors
The preparationos for their entertain
ment are of the most elaborate charac-
ter. The streets are fiaring with pur-
pie and white decorations and tn =

with fiagS. streamers and gaily colored
lanterns.
The election Of officers viii ne held
Wednesday, when the greatest excite
ment Is expected. A close race is pre-
dicted. One thousand Elks are expected

New Dreadnaughts to
Surpass All Others

Plans for two new giant dreadnoughts
TO be added TO the American navy are
now under consideration by the general
board of the navy.
These vessels will surpass any fight
ing machines af1oat if the present de-
signs are approved. No information as
70 the drawing of these vessels has
been made public. 1t is understood,
however. that they will have a speed in
excess of any of the other dreadnoughts
now building. They will also carry
heavier armor and armament
Navy officials are fearful of the high
cost Of these vessels, owing to the op-
Grafton of the eight-hour clause in
serted IN the appropriation bill 1t is
estimated that this clause will increase
the cost by % per cent. making the
vessels cost in the neighborhood of
$15, 600 900 each

gate $25 day, and in view of the
large crowds which are daily patron

another guard at 81 a day.
1t was the wish of the superintendent
to keep the beach open until after SEN
tember q. the date of the opening Of
the public schools, but this will be i'm
possible, 1t was said. unless additional
money Is provided. DIR. Hudson will
place the proposition before the Com
