.SHERCLIFFE
CASE WAS
POSTPONED

Denver, Jan. 19-After five hours of
spirited discussion of the Frank Sher-
cliffe case yesterday afternoon, the
board of pardons and Governor Shaf-
roth as an ex-officio member, passed
the perplexing question up to the next
regular meeting, February 8. No vote
was taken.
Whether Shercliffe is to go free as
previously wronged and falsely ac-
cused man. victim of Boss Tom Den
uison's frame-rp. or serve twenty-five
years time for the murder of Saloon
keeper John Walsh, of Leadville. IN
1908, has reduced itself to a well de-
fined conflict between the board Of
pardons and the governor. The board
believes shercliffe a wronged man
and recommends that the prison
doors fly open to him. The governor
stands opposed.
) Usually the governor allows a ma
jority vote of the board of pardons 10
control. but It was known yesterday
that unanimous agreement by the
board would not have brought his
signature to Shercliffe's release.

Southern Colorado thoroughly unit
ed. has determined that the represent
tatives of this state at the national
capitol should not be confused by the
false statements that were sent OUT
by the northern county delegates to
the recent convention here, who are
disgruntled over the defeat they sus-
tained. The Pueblo Commerce club
also has received dozens of letters OF
congratulations from many sections
of the state. showing that the victory
was popular one. even if few dele
cations, overcome by the cup of de-
feat, decided to make an effort to
break up the state association be-
cause they were outwvited.
Colorado's representatives at WASH
ington are being besieged with let
ters. kilograms and marked copies OF
newspapers. calling their attention to
the fact that the Colorado Good Roads
association, in session in Pueblo last
week, endorsed the New Santa Fe
Trail and the Rainbow Route as tho.
Colorado link OF the proposed trans
continental highway. Dozens OF tele-
grams have been sent to Congress-
man Martin from this city. while
Congressman Rucker and Taylor. also
have been remembered. while the 9TH
er counties along the adopted route
have contributed their quota of tele-
grams
in response to the messages they
are receiving in bundles the repre-
sentatives OF the state in congress
now are replying. evidently in an nf-
fort to explain to the people that they
are quite convinced that the New
Santa Fe Trail and the Rainbow
Route is the Official link of the trans
continental route.
Yesterday letter was received BY
Charles r. MeLain of Canon City,
while a telegram from Congressman
John A. Martin was received by J. f.

continued because Paris Incorporated
them into the worlds fashions, which
she invents. 1t is not matter of much
moment, with or without argument, for
the whole matter rests on the fact
that the American women, with q Ger.
tain few exceptions. are now allowing
the professional buyers to get their
ideas In Paris and then ordering their
gowns here.
The oft-quoted statement that our
American women spend $25, ,OOO, 900 a
year on dress In Paris is probably mis-.
leading to those who don't know. The
prOgressiveness and speculative pro-
pensities Of our American business
firms are responsible for this expendi
ture OF money, and SO small amount OF
it is spent by the American women In
Paris houses that it is neglible.
Even smart women who are In Paris
do not rush the dressmakers there;
they tell their home dressmakers what
they want them to bring home in the
way of models and they will purchase
direct from them when the season
opens. There is no conundrum con.
cerning this condition. Women don't
wish to trouble with the duty, with the
packing and unpacking OF trunks on
the dock, and with the payment on
extra baggage that is required.
One can get in AMERICA now almost
anything that one can get in Paris, al
| though one pays more for it. The gown
that costs 5000 there is apt to cost 5000
oYae, here which is one OF the reasons
Mhy the majority Of women pass by
the'orieinal and order a duplicate from
the house that carries the model. All
of which, however it is done, goes to
swell the Golfers of the American bust
ness firms.
