Heavy Slaughter Goes On.

1cdvy oldukAtSI MUGS 0us
The charities stations, which were open
as usual today to receive the dead flies
between the hours of 10 and II am, re-
ported that another heavy slaughter had
been recorded.
II the results equal those of yesterday,
DR.. Murray estimates that the total cas-
ualty list by this afternoon will show
four million and a half flies destroyed.
The flies were delivered at the health
department at the usual time yesterday
by the Merchants Transfer and Storage
Company, but the work Of counting the
insects was not completed until this
morning.
1t is a big task to count half a million
flies and enter the results of the killing
to the credit Of the several hundred chill
dren who are waging the campaign.
Flies Are Getting Scarce.
BY far the most encouraging reports
concerning the success of the campaign
that have reached the health department
were received yesterday. These were to
the effect that sections of Washington
already have become flyless, or nearly So
Two of the youthful contestants called
upon DR.. Murray for advice as to where
they could extend their operations against
the fly. The territories over which they
have waged their warfare to the present
time appear to have been rid of the in
sects, they declared, and they have been
unable during the past few days to keep
up the showing which they made in the
early part of the contest.
DR.. Murray told the boys of several
places where they might catch flies in
abundance. Since the contest began, the
health department expert has received
from Washington citizens numerous COM
munications commencing the campaign,
and containing tips" on fly haunts.
IF any of the contestants find their
scores dwindling because the supply Of
flies in the localities In which they have
been waging the fight is running short.
I will be glad to tell them where to go
to increase their catches" said DR.. Muir
ray today.
Proves Success Of Crusade.
Nothing has been as indicative Of the
success Of the crusade as the fact that
in some of the sections the contestants
are having great difficulty to maintain
their former records. With the number
| of flies exterminated so far it Is not sur
| prising that the supply is running short
| in certain parts of the city. Persons liv-
| ing in those sections will reap a benefit
so enormous that 1t cannot be estimated.
| while the city at large will be immeasur-
ably improved"
| The contest promises to become closer

With four million flies killed to date in
| The Stars fyess city campaign, Dr.
| Murray of the health department today
| estimated that the number Of insects, If
placed in a row, would make a line six
teen miles long
| THE line will be long enough to extend
| from here to Baltimore before the con-
test is over" said Dr. Murray; while
the insects that have been prevented from
developing during the remainder Of the
summer as a result Of the slaughter
would make a line long enough to circle
the earth several times
| Yesterdays result of the crusade in
| creased the total slaughter by half
million and enabled Layton H. Burdette
| to remain in first place. However, the
youthful leader is being pressed by Bes-
sic B. Fillius, who is now in second posi-
| ton.
The race between the two top-notchers
is going to be a close one. For the last
two days they have turned in practically
| the same amount of flies. While the big
gains of the Fillius girl have made it
possible for her to overcome all rivals
except the leader, the previous high score
Of Burdette has kept him in first place.
Anybody's Fight Yet.
At the rate the flies are being delivered
at the health department. Burdette's
margin by no means assures him of vic
tory, and the fight, SO far, is for most
any one to win.
When Bessie B. Filius went into sec
ond place today Lawrence Fitzgerald was
forced to drop back to third position Ed
win N. GUIDE remained in fourth place.
Edna Davis, formerly in eighth place,
was crowded out of position among the
ten leading contestants. Moses McPhear-
son, with 5000 flies to his credit, ap-
peared in position No. o. Cora Briscoe,
Elsie Cornwell and Mildred Zuschnett re-
manned in fifth, sixth and seventh posi-
tions. respectively, while Lillian Portion
advanced two positions, from tenth to
eighth. Wallace Club recedng one, from
ninth to tenth.
Altogether, the positions of the con-
testants were but slightly rearranged.
All of the ten leaders made considerable
increases in their scores, showing there
has been no abatement in the activities
they are putting forth to swat the fly.
What shaking up there was in the con-
testants' standing resulted in favor of the
boys. Yesterday there were six girls
among the ten leaders. Today there were
but five. Also, the girls had a combined
score yesterday that was in excess Of
that of the boys. but the tables were
turned today, the boys showing total
score that was 1900 in advance of that
! of their gentler rivals.

Boxes Still in Demand.

All the children that turned in flies at
the seven Associated Charities stations
yesterday asked for new boxes. while
number of new contestants put in similar
| requests. Notwithstanding the campaign
is more than half over. new "swatters''
are getting into the fight every day.
The George P. Killian Manufacturing
Company delivered 300 more boxes to the
receiving points this morning. This
makes a total of AGO boxes that Mr..
Killian has donated to the campaign. 1t
does not represent the total number of
children engaged in the contest, however.
as many of them have formed clubs and
submit their combined killings in one box.

Two Cars Roll Down Ernbankment Into

GLENwooD|7Es ARE FORTUNATE

Denver & Rio Grande train No. |
was badly wrecked at s.12 Wednesday
evening Just at the end of the double
track at Rex station AZ, miles east of
Minturn, as result of which an un-
known lady passenger from Albany, N.
Y, was killed and 27 others received
injuries from slight to very serious,
one lady sustaining dislocated shout
der, another dislocated hip while a
gentleman was crushed quite severely
in the abdomen. This is perhaps the
worst injury of all Most all of the
other injuries were trivial, consisting
Tor the most part of slight scratches
and bruises from which no serious re-
suits are expected.
The train was in charge of Conduc
tor Kelin, Engineer Hatch and Fire
man Shirk. none of whom were injured
in the least The day coach and chair
car left the track and rolled down the
embankment into the river. Just how
the passengers in these two coaches es-
capped with their lives is another of the
many mysteries of railroad accidents.
The engine aud the other coaches and
the Pullman cars remained on the road
bed although some of them left the
track, and both tracks were so badly
blocked with the wreckage that it was
several hours before trains could pass
on either track.
DR.. Warren, d. & R. G. surgeon from
Minturn went at once to the scene Of
the wreck while five physicians with
nurses We're rushed down from Lead
vile and Drs Crook. Clark and Ste
wart were sent up from Glenwood on
regular No. 6. Every possible care was
taken of the injured and where the
injuries warranted it the passengers
were taken back to the company's hos
pital at Salida for treatment. It is
thought that the Albany woman lost
her life by drowning as no marks of
any kind were found on the body.
Later-It has been learned that the
lady who lost her life was Mrs. Cath
crime j. Martin of Albany, New York.
She was pitched into the end of the
car which went down into the water

NO COMPROMISE ON HIGH LINE

Denver, May AL efforts at com
promise on the High Line canal matter
between the representatives of the Pal
isade orchardists and the agents of the
government failed today after the cor
ference in Denver had been in session
less than an hour
Neither side had a proposition that
the other would consider. The orchard
lists would not consider any compro-
mise that considered the low line of
survey as a possibility, while the gov
ernment S representatives would not en-
tertaiu any offer that contemplated the
use of the upper survey.
The dispute will be taken up to the
secretary of the interior within thirty
days by Attorney Frank c. Goudy. and
if the orchardists are not given salts
faction the case will be appealed TO
President Taft for final adjustment.
Attorney Ward declared that there
was no chance of the two SIDES getting
together. The matter of the govern
ment offering to pay the orchardists at
the rate of $1,000 an acre for the land
used was not even considered by the
land owners, who maintained defiant
attitude throughout the conference.
The government men agreed not to
commence the condemnation suits until
Mr.. Goudy has been to Washington,
which trip he agrees to take within
thirty days. The orchardists will re-
sist the suits and possibly attack the
validity of the reclamation act.
U. s. Attorney Ward will send at
once report to the secretary Of the
interior recommending that the lower
line Of survey be used.

By allowing them not to be confirmed
the Governor can appoint them August

SENATOR DELONG
HERE TOMORROW

The Y. NJ. C. a. committee on meet
ings has planned for an especial at
traction for tomorrow afternoon in an
address by former Senator Horace T..
DeLong of Grand Junction. Senator
DeLong is not only reader and a
thinker but he is rated as one of the
ablest speakers in Colorado.
Not only is Mr.. DeLong fluent in
words but he puts thought behind his
words and always gives the people
something worth while. You should
hear him tomorrow afternoon. He will
speak at the Isis at $50 and will take
for his subject, "The Making of a
Man" The ladies and gentlemen of
Glenwood are invited to attend and es-
pecially are the young men urged to be
present.

that she could not make her escape and

that had tie trouble occurred fifty fee1
