PUEBLO COLORADO NEWS
Fifth Anniversary of the Old Folks
and Orphans Home.

l. y
Old Folks and Orphans Home of
Pueblo was celebrated Saturday
and Sunday Dec. 9 and 10. Tie
meeting was well attended, and
was addressed Saturday by several
of Pueblo's energetic and public
spirited white gentlemen, and two
ladies from the Womah's club,
who pledged their interest and
hearty support. Those from out
of the city who made addresses
were: Mrs. j. p. Watson and Mrs.
Butler of Colorado Springs and
Rev. j. g. G. Owens of Denver,
the first president of the Home.
saturday evening the seryic-
es were conducted by Rev. y. b.
Holmes, who after an appropriate
prayer delivered an encouraging
address.
The Home was started five. years
ago, with nothing on hand~ and
nothing in sight, but necessity
forced the opening of the Home,
and Mrs. Hargroves volunteered to
make the sacrifice and started the
Old Folks and Orphans with
few homeless children. Through
such public spirited men as MIR.
McCleland who gave two lots and
ex- Gov. Alva Adams who gave 20
lots the Home has received ground
for a building, which the Execu-
tive Board hopes soon to erect.
Mrs. Hargroves related a re-
markable story that at one time
the provision inf the Home got
down to seven potatoes, three of
which was not fit for use. Con-
fronted with this condition of
things, Mrs. Hargroves declares
she went to prayer, and while on
her knees the phone rang and she
was notified by Mr.. Nicard, the
agent of the Santa Ee Office, that
some one had sent 40 bushels OF
potatoes from ranch, this she de-
clares came in answer to prayer.
Since the organization of the
Home 156 persons have been re-
ceived and sheltered, twenty-one OF
these were old people. Perma-
nent homes have been found for
81 children during the five years.
There are at present in the Home
Is children and 8 old people.
There is room for Is or 16 more
children.
Mrs. Hargroves and the board
of directors thank the Woman's
Club and general public through
out the state for the excellent aid
they have rendered.

Theatre, one of the most beautiful
playhouses in Arkansas, and the
leading theatre of Little Rock has
discharged all the white help and

Mr.. CLANCY has an energetic crew

respect.

There are ten millions of people
in the United States who are SEN
timentally, at least, interested IN
the present and future of the con-
tinent of Africa and its unnumbcr-
ed hordes of people. They are SO
interested because, in one way or
another, they are decended from
that continent and from that peo-
ple. The true vine. however far 1t
NAV trail over the wall, must hark
back to its true root, and will do 80
if it be not grated upon some 9TH
er root and finally become lost as
to it's origin. AS long as it retains
any of it's kindship, any OF its true
root, the true vine will find its way
back, and will know its kindred
vines as it goes. It is that way
with the blood of the races.
In his address on "The Nation
alization of Africa" at "The Con-
eress on Africa" in 1895, at At
lanta, our Mr.. Fortune said, among
other things:
eff the conquest of Africa shall
proceed in the next seventy-hve
years as it has in the past twenty
five. the whole continent will be as
completely under European CONTROL
after the lapse of century, physl-
cally and morally, as it is possible
for conquerers to impose their con-
ditions upon the conquered. The
vast population of Africa will be
brought under Christian influences,
in new forms of government and
habits of thought, and of conduct.
The whole life of the people will
he reyolutionized. Ancient beliefs
and superstitions and tribal re-
lations and dissimilarity of verna-
oulars will, in the course of time,
be transformed entirely. The de-
moralizing heterogenousness which
now prevails over the whole con-
tinent will give place to a prevail
ing homogenity in language In re-
ligion, and in government"
This forecast was made sixteen
wears ago. The time has Travelled
fast, but nowhere has it Travelled
faster than on the continent OF
Africa. All of its vast territory
has been divided among the Euro
peon powers, with the exception
of Liberia on the West Coast, for
control of which Germany, France
and Great Britain, whose terrltor-
les hem it in, are scheming. Rail
roads and telegraphs pierce the
continent in all directions, and the
deserts are being reclaimed from
waste and made to blossom "as

Philadelphia. Dec. 11.-Detec-
tives who have been investigating
the mysterious death yerterday OF
Mary F. Harmon and the poison
ing of a Negro woman who posed
as her maid but is believed to be
her mother, declared tonight that
the girls father was John Moon,
formerly known as the policy king
of Baltimore. Moon died about
IL years ago, leaving considerable
property to his daughter and her
mother, who came here about five
years ago. Deposit books from
several banks show that at one time
they had thousands of dollars but
only few dollars are left. At
first it was believed Mrs. Harmon
and her daughter were the victims
asphyxiation but this theory has
been dispelled. The elder woman
who was still alive when the apart
ment they occupied was entered,
is being closely watched in the
hope that she will be able to make
statement that will clear up the
mystery. According to the police
the woman maintained relation
ship of mistress and maid, because
of the ambition of the mother to
contract an advantageous marriage
of her daughter.

pialning because they had given me
banquet and l had not decided the
location in their favor. I can hardly
believe that any honest. reputable
citizen of Baker gave utterance to a
statement of this kind. for in the
1irst place, / certainly did not solicit
any banquet or desire anything of
the kind and did not even notify the
people of any of the towns of the date
OF my visit and I did not apprehend
that a banquet was proposed to in
fluence my influence in any partic-
ular. 1 have always felt that the peo-
pie of Baker were whole-souled and
hospitable friends and therefore had
no hesitancy in accepting their invi-
tation to attend the banquet, the same
as 1 did the people at Hot Lake and
Pendleton.
have no hesitancy in saying, Judge,
that 1 believe any dfsinterested per-
son will arrive at the same conclu-
sion did relative to locating this in
stitution. You will understand that
IL was an unpleasant task at the best
for l had many warm friends in each
of the places and that it was not a
task I solicited or desired but at the
earnest solicitation of Governor Ben
son 1 consented to act and dis
charged the duties to what I believed
to be the best advantage to the state
and its unfortunate wards. 1 trust
the thinking people Of Baker will not
permit themselves to be misled by
some of their Oyer-ZealOus real estate
owners or commercial exploitation
agents into believing any of the state
ments made in the papers of recent
date. So far as there being any polit-
ical significance to the location, I
need only to say to you that this
statement is too false 10 be entitled to
any consideration whatever.
With kind regards and wishing
yourself a successful and prosperous
and happy New Year.
Yours very truly,

STRAW BALLOTS TO
Be MADE ILLEGAL
WASHINGTON LEGISLATOR
HAS NEW LAW DRAWN
Would Prohibit Newspapers from EN-
pressing Preference for Candidates
In News Columns and Would Abol-
ish ''Third Degree

Prohibiting the taking of STRAW"
ballots of newspapers or individuals
is the effect of an amendment to the
present primary laws of the state of
Washington proposed by Guy b. Croft.
legislator-elect of Spokane, who thus
defines his position on the question:
"The publishing of the results of
straw ballots, showing one candidate
far in the lead, exercises an unwar-
rantable influence upon the chances of
others in the race. After the primar-
les, when only two candidates are
running, the test is one of party
strength and the straw ballot cannot
have such a pernicious influence. If
it were legal, l should have newspa-
pers prohibited from expressing pref
erence OF any candidate except
through their editorial columns"
Mr.. Croft also declares that he
will seek to wipe out the third de-
gree" by introducing an amendment,
with view to restricting the intro
duction of confessions and admis-
sions in criminal trials. He said on
this subject:
"I have been told at the Spokane
police station that l could not talk
with clients until the prosecuting at
orney had seen them. When a per-
son is allowed to talk with a prison.
er he is in a separate compartment
and can not see the man with whom
he is talking.
II would return to the old law of
territorial days, which forbade the
introduction OF any alleged confess
sion or admission unless the prisoner
made it after being first fully inform
ed of his rights and the consequences
Of his act, and through his attorney
or some one taking friendly inter-
est in him"

The following letter of Acting Gov
ernor Bowerman TO Judge smith OF
Baker. tells why Pendleton was Sc
lected for the location of the branch
asylum:
December 80, 1910.
Hon. VIM. Smith, Baker, Ore.
Ny Dear Sir:-This is the first op-
portunity l have had to acknowledge
the receipt of your kind letter OF the
12nd. 1 was very sorry that l did not
have an opportunity to see you in
person while at Baker, but the citi-
zens and business men kept my time
very busily occupied in viewing the
various sites offered as suitable for
the location for the asylum and in
examining statistics relative to cli-
matte conditions.
1 note what you say regarding Sen
ator Nottingham and feel that in JUS
tice to both of you I should say that
the senator indicated in various ways
that he felt very friendly to Baker
and its people.
wish also at this time to correct
certain very misleading and erroneous
statements which have been publish
ed in the papers since the asylum
was located and for which some OF
the citizens of Baker have been CIV
en- credit. The statement that with
drew from the consideration of the
board the report Of the soil experts
30 far as it might be beneficial to Ba-
ker, is utterly false. Prof. ScuddeI
did not make written report before
the location was made but he spent
nearly three hours time detailing tc
the board the soil conditions Of each
of the tracts offered. His report was
taken down in short hand notes and
mas been extended and is on file with
the other papers in the case. Yor
will observe from this that 1t would
be impossible for me to withdraw any
of his report and of course no at
tempt was made to do anything o.
this kind.

did not recommend Pendieton. is alst
