The meat, however, had the appear

hoofs, head, hide and entrals of the
animal buried in three different
places. and inasmuch as two OF the
hoofs found fitted perfectly onto the
two quarters taken from the cistern,
and as the brand on the hide was
that OF Alex Yant. Mr. Lee felt he had
sufficient evidence to warrant the
arrest of Mr.. Denton. who was at

he had killed the COW late Sunday

His trial will come up in the dis

On the summit of Mount Falcon. in
the first range of the Rockies back of
the town of Morrison and overlooking
Denver and the plains to the east,
ground was broken on Thursday for
the summer home of the president of
the United States.
Acting Mayor Robertson, of Denver,
DR.. Cyrus Townsend Brady. of Kansas
City, a delegation of Denver business
men. John Brisben Walker, who has
taken the lead in raising fruits for the
presidents mansion. and a hundred
or more citizens of Morrison were
present on the mountain top when the
first spadefull of earth was turned.
marking the first actual step toward
creating in the Colorado Rockies the
summer capital Of America.
The town of Morrison was host to
the visitors who made the trip to the
mountains to witness the ceremony.
Following the official breaking of
ground and a program of speeches,
the visitors were entertained at a
basket picnic on the summit OF Mt
Falcon. The principal addresses were
delivered by Acting Mayor Robertson,
John Brisbane Walker and DR.. Brady

why should not the July and Au-
gust session have been held amidst
surroundings which offer an escape
from the heat. where the air is brac-

try have gained. if in such climate,
How trining would be the cost of an
other capitol building if environment
could be ideal? As compared with the
discomfort and cost in health of this
session at Washington
There would be no necessity for
the removal of any governmental de-
partments; simply an additional cap
itol building to which congress could
remove. when the temperature and
mosquitoes became unbearable in
Washington.
But to what point in central lati-
tudes could congress remove? To
Pittsburg, or St. Louis. or to Kansas
citys The first western city in this
central territory. that would be avail
able, is Denver. and certainly Denver
is IDEAL for the purpose"

 INTERESTING RELICS

After several weeks of Investigating
 prehistoric ruins and engaged in gen eral archaeological research, Dr. Wal
 ter Fewkes of Washington, D. C., at tached to the Smithsonian Institution

In the wide range of country covered he has practically visited every point in attention to the Verde valley. where many extinct Aztec communities were in existence. and which proved very interesting. In the vicinity of Pres colt, along Walnut creek, and other places, bis observations were also in teresting and instructive, and show many conditions which, until his ex- aminations were made, were not known He stated that in the Red Rock and Beaver Creek districts the many large buildings that once were found intact clearly prove that they were inhabited by thousands of peo- pie. In the Prescott section. however. or across the Verde range for many miles. his research was conclusive of a distinctive condition of vacations A system of Qualifications were found which, in some localities. were of inn mense dimensions. This was espe- cisliy evident along Walnut creek. where one old rampant, from four to six feet through and over $50 feet long. built in a semicircle. must have harbored at some distant day many hundreds of warriors. Of lesser di- mensions were other old Qualifications. and in all the country on this side of the range not one habitation was viewed that would indicate any other occupation than that of being used hand. the Verde buildings show the contrary. pr.

The various companies. unhampered by a central control, will be free to compete to their hearts content. But how much likelihood is there that they will do SO? A majority of the stock of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey is owned by fewer than q dozen men. Since the new Jersey company owns practically the entire capitalization of the thirty-three companies, when the distribution has been made that same group of half a score of men will control each of the thirty three com

WATER POWER
SITES GOBBLED
Illinois Legislature Meets Today In
Special Session to Talk
Over the Prop

FIGHT TO A FINISH
1t is Claimed That the Sites Have
Already Been Secured by
Various Powerful
Parties

SPRINGFIELD, H., June IA
way project proposition, the cause of
the special session of the Forty-sev-
enth general assembly, which met at
noon today, will be witnessed this
week in Springfield. Last week there
was talk OF a compromise between the
Deneen and anti-Deneen forces but
this vanished today.
The sudden change Is due to con-
ferences the governor has had with a
number of his supporters in both
branches OF the state legislature,
in which the executive has been con-
vinced that he has sufficient number
of votes to put the bill through, pro-
viding something does not happen
which will enable the minority to rule
the majority.
Speaker Adkins was among the ear
lv arrivals. He came "'loaded" with
information on waterways, water pow
er and power sites. which he has
picked up during the past few days
in Chicago.
The speaker and Gov. Deneen are at
variance on the question of whether
! the water power sites have not been
seized already by large corporations.
! 1t is Gov. Deneens idea that the gem
/ eral assembly should pass a bill be-
fore July l which will enable the state
to secure what power sites are left
In order to prove his assertion that
the best of the power sites already are
gone, Speaker Adkins expects to sum-
mon several persons to appear before
the house, sitting as committee OF
the whole, to tell what they know
about the ownership of land along the
water routes which would be feasable
for power sites.
