oENvER's POLITICAL souAseLE

Were it not for the injury to the
state generally that surely must fol-
low the impression sent east by the
Denver yellows that state Of an
archy reigned in Denver last week,
the incident would be highly amusing
attended for no other purpose than
to make us laugh and grow fat. An
archy, riot and bloodshed-all this
may appeal to the agitators who are
constantly disturbing the piece and
quiet OF Denver, but those who are
striving to bring money into Colorado
to develop its resources and whose
efforts are handicapped by these
ruinous vaporings of a sensational
press have just cause to object.
There was no need of anyone getting
excited over what happened in Denver
last week, and when you sift the
whole occurrence down and CLEAN the
facts there was nothing to it but
Just customary political row which
is pulled off frequently in the cap
ital city. The whole affair can be
soberly summed up in moment S
review of the occurrence, which will
plainly show that there was no cause
for alarm at any period of the "riot." "

ed possession. A glass window in
the door Of Arnold's office was brok-
en- and Hits was admitted and ap-
prised Arnold of the mayors action.
Arnold and Hits discussed the mat
ter for some time and Arnold said
he would not leave of his own voli-
tion but wanted it to appear as
though he was elected to strengthen
his position when his case should
come before the courts. The only one

perhaps who suffered any Ill treat
ment was clerk who was too free
with his tongue.He was ousted from
the building.
We do not know whether Mayor
Speer had the right or not to remove
Arnold. He no doubt had consulted
attorneys and was satisfied that he
was acting within his authority The
only criticism which could attach to
anyone would be to Hits, who ex-
ercised mighty poor judgment in de-
manding the office Arnold held at
night time. 1t does seem that the
next morning would have BEEN the
proper time for him to make his
claim.
The whole thing will be threshed
out in the courts. The supreme court
, has refused to take original juris-
diction in the matter, which means
that it will have to come before that
tribunal after it has passed the dis

on Accused.

Los Angeles. Cal.-The monotony
which has marked the calling OF jur.
ors for the trial Of j. b. Mcnamara
alleged dynamiter, vanished when
former Deputy United States Marshal
Bert II. Franklin was placed under ar.
rest charged with attempting to
bribe George Lockwood, prospective
Juror in the Mcnamara case He has
been serving as an investigator for
the defence.
After several hours in Jail Franklin
was released, Lecompte Davis, one of
the attorneys for the defence in the
Mcnamara case, putting up $4,000
cash bail
Detective Samuel l.. Browne of the
District Attorneys office arrested
Franklin at Third and Los Angeles
streets. Two others were arrested at
the same time. They were Cap G. +.
White, a brother of a former Sheriff
of this county, and George Lockwood.
A single $500 bill is alleged by De-
tective Browne to have been passed
to Lockwood by Franklin just before
the arrest, after which the three men
were taken to the District Attorney S
office and questioned. They then were
taken to the city Jail building, where
White and Lockwood were released.
Franklin, accompanied by Detective
Browne, Deputy District Attorney Joe
Ford and Police Detective George
Helm, appeared before Justice Will
liam Young for arraignment on a
charge of bribing a prospective juror
in the Mcnamara case.
Lecompte Davis waived the reading
Of the complaint and Justice Young
fixed the bail at $4,000. Davis told
the court that if he would make it
cash bail he would furnish $4,000.
This was accepted by the court and
Davis produced ten packages of bills.
Four thousand dollars is alleged to
have figured in the transaction.
When arrested the men were
searched. A $500 bill was found on
Lockwood and $3,5OO was found on
White The $500 is alleged by the
detectives to have been the earnest
money, while the remaining amount
was to have been paid to Lockwood
in the event he qualified, became a
juror in the case and succeeded in Sc
curing an acquittal or hung jury.

During recent years the growing
tendency toward surgical interference
TO cure disease has been a subject OF
unfavorable comment both In and out
of the medical profession. 1t has be-
come the general belief that many
practitioners are too ready TO resort to
the knife. For this reason opinions OF
prominent surgeons. as expressed at
the congress recently held In Chicago
commend themselves as evidence OF a
saner professional view. These sur
geons announce that the reaction has
set in, and that the drift is away from
operations and toward greater de-
pendence upon medicine. AS the Ideas
acquired at this congress will be I'm
pressed on the profession all over the
,ountry the effect OF the discussions
khould be generally apparent. Let us
hope that surgeons will bear In mind
the advice of men eminent in their
profession. who protest against oper-
ations that are not absolutely neces-
sary, says the Chicago Daily Journal.
While the splendid achievements OF
modern surgery inspire admiration II
should not be forgotten that It's re-
sources are designed to be used only
when less radical treatment proves un'
availing.
