Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 22.-
The authorities are today checking
over the movements of Tony Donated,
the Italian suspect arrested in con-
nection with the Burnham-wayne
murders, Sunday night and early
Monday morning. A workman at the
Golden Cycle mill says he saw a man
resembling DONATED lettering in the
vicinity of the Burnham-Wayne
homes early Monday morning.
His story is partly corroborated
by a milk man, who saw a man an
swering the description of the sus-
pect still later in the morning. Spots
on his clothing, apparently freshly
washed, also direct inquiry to the
prisoner. He was in the Sweat
box today but, no damaging admis-
sions were secured. Donatel was
arrested upon information secured
from Arthur ]. Burnham, whose wife
was one of those murdered, and who
admitted that he had recently found
Mrs. Burnham and the Italian to-
sether.

DECISION OF CANADIANS Is Ex'
PRESSED WITH CONSIDER
ABLE vEHEMENcE

Montreal, Sept. 22.-Canada awak
ened today confronted by a startling
new situation, developed from the
fact that reciprocity with the United
States has been rejected, that the
Laurier government has been defeat
ed, and that r. L. Borden will shortly
be called on to form a conservative
ministry. That the changes enacted
during the past "a hours by the
registration Of the will of the cleo
torate are radical is shown by the
overwhelming majority whereby the
voters turned down the agreement
which Laurier had made with the
United States for the mutual remov-
al of duties on food and other natural
products, by the defeat of seven cab
met ministers out of the thirteen
who went to the polls and by the
political landslide which will retire
to private life Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
acknowledged to be one of the big
gest figures in the British empire.
Out of nine Canadian provinces,
only Quebec. Laurier's native place. |
came anywhere near remaining faith
full to him and Quebec did not do
any too we'll. Ontario, the greatest
of the provinces, dealt Laurier a ter
rible blow, goings almost solidly
against him, and the same may be
said also of Manitoba and British
Columbia.
The result by provinces, as ex
pressed in the returns received up TO

What Clark Said.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 22.-When
Champ Clark. speaker of the ma
tional house OF representatives., ar
rived today to be the guest OF the
Tennessee state fair, he was asked
it his supposed humorous remarks
about annexation at banquet some
time ago had not aided in the de-
feat of the reciprocity proposition by
Canada yesterday.
Mr.. Clark wrote the following
statement:
my remarks about annexation did
not do half as much to defeat reci-
procity in Canada as did President
Taft's speech, in which he insisted
on hurrying up agreeing to reci-
procity in this country before Great
Britain could establish her imperial
policy of tariff. with the preferen-
tial rates for the colonies.
"He and 1 were both quoted b5
the anti-reciprocity crowd in Can
ada, he more than I, but the chances
are that the quotaticss from his
speeches and mine did not have half
so much do to with defeating reel
procity as did the corruption funds
sent from both this country and.
Great Britain into Canada.
