PRESIDENT TAFT
LAYS CORNER STONE

TOPEKA, Kas., Sept. 27.-When
President Taft arrived this morning
IN Topeka, the first important stop on
his days schedule, he found the city
profusely dressed in patriotic attire
and an enormous crowd on hand to
do him honor. A party of distinguish
ed representatives of the state of
Kansas accompanied the president
from Hutchinson, while another party
Of state and city officials and leading
citizens of Topeka was in waiting at
the station to greet him when he STEP
ped from his special train. After the
welcome formalities had been conclud-
ed the president was taken in charge
by the reception committee and es-
corted by parade through the gayly
decorated streets of the downtown dis
trist. At the conclusion of the parade
the president delivered a brief address
at the laying of the corner stone for
the State Soldiers Memorial hall to
be erected in this city. AT the con-
clusion of the program the presiden-
tial train left for Atchison and Leav-
enworth.

MADE SLAVE
OF HIS WIFE
Western Press.

Western Press.
DENVER, Sept. 27.-Upon the own
ership of the revolver with which
Charles Patterson was killed on Mon
day will largely depend the degree of
credence which the jury in the crimi-
nal court will give to the story told
by Mrs. Gertrude Patterson, who used
1t. Mrs. Patterson insists it was her
husbands gun. His friends say he
never owned one. Mrs. Patterson in
sists the first time she ever touched
her fingers to the revolver was on
Monday morning when, in what she
calls self-defense, she fired at her hus
band. 1t is largely from the inmates
of the Agnes Memorial home that sto-
ries come to the effect that Patterson
was of a peaceful disposition and that
il he owned the revolver he took pains
to conceal that fact. One of the in
mates |. II. Reigstad, of Chicago, even
gees SO far as to say he will be able
to prove that Mrs. Patterson bought
the gun and that he can show where
she got it.
Mrs. Patterson's hope of freedom is
linked indissolubly with her story that
Patterson sold her to Emil Strauss
once for $1,500. If she can make the
jury believe that her life was bound
to that of man who had no con-
ception of the duties of husband,
man who had sunk to the level of
beast in plying hideous trade, then
perhaps she will have her freedom.
But against the evidence she is seek
ing to accumulate, to show that Pat
terson regarded her as a chattel, that
he sold her to men with whom she
travelled in Europe, that he spent the
money she had thus earned for him
or himself, there is the testimony of
many friends Of Patterson that he was
a gentleman.
Patterson's friends scout the idea Of
his having evidenced such lack Of
feeling, They say he was gentle and
much abused, that he lived in fear of
his wifes killing him.

IN the Democratic family that Jockey
ing was resorted to in framing up
the state for delegates to the county
convention as well as selection of per-
manent officers of the organization.
The Democratic slogan honesty in
Democratic procedure" has been
shouted from the housetops as it were,
but granting that the rank and file of
the party have been jobbed the county
ticket has already been passed upon
and nothing left for the boys to do hut
march up to the polls and take their
medicine.
Republican county primaries will
occur Oct. 5. Leaders of the party
claim that none but their very best
men will be put forth to fill county
Offices which they claim is likely to
draw votes from the Democratic side.
They claim to foresee chances of
heavy reflections from the opposite
party, but whether the point is we'll
taken remains to be seen. However,
should either party fall into the error
of beginning the new state campaign
with old methods Of political jugglery,
the prophecy of such party's early
downfall will very likely be fulfilled.

SECOND DAY
OF THE FAIR
The Afternoons Events

This afternoon the weather was fine
and the race track and ball grounds
were in better shape than they ever
have been before. AS result of these
conditions the grandstand and the
grounds were filled with crowd of
interested spectators that thoroughly
enjoyed the ball game and the races.
The program for the afternoon was
opened with the flying bicycle leap
by the great La Bard, and as usual
his large audience was thrilled by it..
The next event was the half mile
Indian race. There were three entries
and Tony Bucks horse, Columbus, won
first, and Ute Steve's horse Pawtuck-
ct second
The main event of the day, however,
was the half mile trotting race. The
entries in this race were Trilby by
j w. Morgan, Kelley NJ. by Allen
Moore, Bonnie by C. B. Kelley and
John Scrivener by Waters & Scriven-
er. (The last named horse was later
withdrawn.) The first and second
heats were won by Kelley M. with
Bonnie second
In the 21a mile relay race John
Bush won first prize and Tony Buck
second.
More than usual interest was taken
in the ball game between Aztec and
Durango, as the match tomorrow will
depend upon the result today. Early
in the game the star play of the day
was made by Third Baseman Whit
ney of the Aztec team who scored a
home run. The other members of the
team were either unlucky or less skill
full, however, for at the end of the
game the score stood Durango z, Az
tee 3.
The Modern Woodmen of America
decided not to re-erect their tent that
was blown down last night, and their
rest room is now located under the
north end of the grand stand.

CONFESSED

Western Press.
DENVER, Sept. 27.-"Before l die,
and feel my time is at hand, want
to free my brother from the peni-
tentiary. cannot go down into my
grave with the terrible burden of per-
jury upon me. l lied against my own
brother when he was tried for the
murder of Wiley Lindsey"
So declared George w. Whitehead
addressing the members of the state
board of pardons.
George Whitehead was unable to
conceal his emotions. He tainted twice
and restoratives were applied His
physical appearance bears out his
statement that he has only little
while to live. He is a consumptive.
He told the board between sobs, that
at the trial of his brother, R. l.. White
head, he committed perjury. Both
brothers were accused of the murder
of Spencer, it being charged that
Spencer had insulted Georges daugh-
tNi' ihC DiObhti 10 appealing 1OT a
pardon and declaring that he is inno-
cent of any crime and his dying
brother was dragged to the state
house to tell why he gave the evil
dence that sent Lee Whitehead to pris-
on for life. Although the brother in
prison may be a miserable man, he
must be happy when compared to the
man who was brought to the state
house yesterday afternoon. In the last
stages of consumption, with sunken
cheeks and hollow eyes glazed with
pain more than physical, ne seemed
the personifcation of a repentant but
restless Judas During the trial and
ever since he has lived his failing life
in the contempt of all who knew him.
At the trial he gave the evidence that
sent his brother to prison, but when
the judge on the bench came to de-
liver sentence it was not toward the
convicted man he directed his remarks.
After few brief statements in which
he declared that whatever might be
his own convictions in the matter he
must follow the finding of the jury
and send Lee Whitehead to prison for
life, the judge turned on the brother
whose testimony had secured the con-
viction. In stirring tones he de-
nounced the man who would thus be-
tray his brother. With the sentences
of the judge ringing in his ears
George Whitehead went out to take up
his life again. Everywhere he met
the scorn of his fellow men. With
but a few more months to live he is
determined to make what reparation
he can and yesterday told Governor
Shafroth and other members of the
state board of pardons that the story
he had told at the trial was not true.

of which will be to determine whether
or not money should be expended un
der the present status 81 the bill
This committee has secured an attor
ney and has gone over the records in
the senate, but has not secured any
evidence additional to what is already
known. The third roll call is not re
corded in tie journal.
The Rocky Mountain News main
,tains that 1t was a Speer trick to
force Governor Shafroth to call an
extra session to distribute this fund
in order that Mr.. Speer might have
another opportunity TO attempt to be
elected United States senator. The
News demands an investigation by n
grand jury to ascertain what became
OF the roll call.
Incidentally, there are few other
things which grand jury might well
investigate. namely:
First--What became of the $500 900
left in the state treasury by Governor
Buchtel, which Is all gone?
Seeond-Why Is Claude Street
drawing approximately s9,Ooe year
as state oil inspector when the law
says he shall only draw $1,000?
Third-What became OF the s2i 900
collected during the last biennial per-
iod by State Factory Inspector e. v.
Brake?
Fourth-Why is 1t necessary for
Governor Shafroth to have a pay roll
larger than The combined pay rolls OF
Governors Buchtel and Mcdonald, and
is Governor Shafroth using that in.
creased pay roll to BOOST himself for
the United States senate?
Fifth-Why did the state land
board sell land to corporations at s5
an acre when the board knew the
corporations would resell It the next
day ut from SIS to $25 an acre, and
why were SO many Democratic polItl
clans members Of the companies
which purchased the land?
Sixth-Why has not the Bellesflcld
charge that money was used to pass
the Mofrat tunnel bill investigated
and who used the money to secure It's
passage?
There are, as noted above, a dozen
reasons for calling grand Jury. The
theft of the senate third roll call on
house bill 200 is but an incident
among a score of Incidents, either of
which is as criminal as the stealing of

TRANSCONTINENTAL HIGH
WAY CREATES INTEREST

D ~
The establishment of transcontinen-
tai highways across the state Of Colo
RADIO is exciting much interest every
where at the present time. The i'm
portance Of good road leading across
the state has been demonstrated this
year by the great success which has
attended the building of parts of roads
in various localities of the state. Ev-
erywhere these roads have been an
excellent investment, and as result
such a transcontinental highway Is
now demanded. The coming conven-
ton of the Colorado Good Roads con-
ference association at Pueblo next Jan
uary will discuss these roads, and the
committee named by the vice-presi-
dents of the association is now Sc
curing data to present to the dele
gates at Pueblo.
The people OF the western slope are
working hard for such road The
need of it to them is most apparent
because only small percentage Of the
visitors to the state in autos cross
the divide because Of the lack Of roads.
Garfield, Pitkin and Eagle counties
are working hard for such road.
One of the favorite routes suggested
is over Independence pass where a 6
per cent grade can be obtained. In
those counties local associations have
been formed recently, and not only
the transcontinental routes are being
discussed, but efforts are being made
to improve the local roads.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 27.-
While probably less than one-third of
the ballots in yesterdays municipal
primaries had been counted at noon to-

to the result. The only question was
as to the size Of the plurality rolled
up by James Rolph jr., the candidate
OF the fused Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, over P. II. Mccarthy,
the labor union mayor of the city who
sought to succeed himself.
Rolph's plurality over Mccarthy Is
estimated at close to twenty thousand
and is the largest ever polled in this
city by a mayoralty candidate.
