Alex. Thomas stated to the cham
ber that about SIX years ago the
county surveyed a road up Taylor
canon to the point which has been
selected for the construction of the
dam. The statement was made that
someone is claiming ownership of
the land over which this survey was
made and is threatening to prevent
the opening of a public road. The
good roads committee of the cham
ber was instructed to protect the
interests of the town and county in

Mr.. L. c. Van Diest, the secretary
of the company, wrote to Mayor
Collins shst he wss in commsnica-
tioe With Representatives, Of several
eastern bond houses, looking 10 the
tskinG by one of them of the entire

also stated that in the event of failure

some Colorado Springs bank dispose
Of them there on the subscription
plan.
The trssAses tsrned down . propo-
sition Of the Security Banking COM
psny of Kansas City TO buy the
bonds at 80 cents.
1t was agreed that under no cir
cumstances would the bonds be sold
for less than 95. The Kansas City
bankers, in letter to the mayor,
stated that they had been in consul
tation with Burns and Mcdonnell,
the engineers representing Gunni-
son, about the bonds and were will
ing to take all of them at the price
stated.
Clerk Matthias Schmitz suggested
that the communication of the
Kansas City bankers had the appear
ance of having b-en written upon
the typewriter of Sutherlin & Com
pany, the bond house that laid down
on Gunnison. and this caused wave
Of laughter TO 60 over the council
chamber. However, the suggestion
expressed the view entertained by
many that Satherlin & Company had
a finger in the new proposal. Any

seems inclined to favor passing up
the whole power plant business and
repairing the present plant until
some arrangement could be made
for building q bigger and better
plant than the one provided for in
the Burns and Mcdonnell plans and
specifications. 1t is said that some
of the people of Gunnison, who favor
the Endner idea, 60 still further and
want to drop the new plant matter
until the Taylor Park dam is COM
pleted in the hope that power will
be generated from this dam and that
Gunnison can then probably be
given much cheaper power and light
than through any plant that the
town might own.
The trustees listened TO state
ment from a representative of the

Denmark is Stunned.

Copenhagen, May 15.-The people
of Denmark are momentarily stunned
by the sudden death of their popular
king, who only two days ago, they
were informed in official communica-
tions, had completely recovered from
the serious illness which had affect
ed him earlier in the year and was
returning to Copenhagen in excellent
health
A rumor is current that the late
king recently visited fortune teller
incognito and was informed that he
would die on May Is. Frederick VIII
was a. great friend and admirer OF
the United States. He read daily
newspapers and was a student OF
American literature. During the first
two years of his reign he was not
beloved by the Danes, but IN the last
couple of years, when the people hao
recognized his ideal for Danish wei
fare and prosperity, he became mos
popular.
The royal yacht Danneborg, escort
ed by a warship, sailed for Lubec
Germany today to embark the bod,
OF the king. The Danneborg is ex
pected to return to Copenhagen OF

FEDERALS ADVANCE ON
The REBEL POSITION
IN SPITE OF BURNED TREsTLEs
MADERo's SOLDIERS GO
FORWARD

FL Paso. Texas, May 15.-General
Huerta's army of federals advanced
slowly north from Yermo today to-
ward the rebel base at Rellano, As
miles away. Advices from the zone
of federal operations were meager,
but those that reached here told OF
the slow progress of the federals be-
cause of gaps in the railroad made by
the retreating insurrectos. The troop
trains of the government are nearly
five miles long and are preceded by
pilot engines with number of en-
gineers aboard who carefully examine
the road for miles Many trestles
were repaired today but it is not an
ticipated that the federals will en-
counter any of the rebel advance
guard before tomorrow
General Campas column Of 1900
rebels sent by General Orozco early
last Sunday to flank the rebels and
attack Torreon from the south. has
been checked by a federal force at
velardena, S5 miles southwest OF
Toreon, according to advices receiv-
ed here today by Alberto Madero. un-
Gle of the president of Mexico.
The same dispatches deny that Ma
pimi has been taken by the rebels
and state that General Banquet is
en- route from Mexico City with 6OC
men and field artillery to re-enforce
the garrison at Torreon.

general who yesterday was reported
wounded, declared today that she had

PERSONAL GRIEVANCES

GAINESVILLE, o., May 15-Tired and
hoarse, President Taft began his
third days campaign in Ohio at Rose
vile, ten miles from here The prest
dent was up at 6: 81 o'clock and made
his speech at Rose yii'e at o'cloi-
to several hundred persons. MI.
Taft's physical condition, Major
Rhoades, his physician, said, was
practically as good as when he LEFT
Washington last Sunday.
Mr.. Taft told his Roseville audience
that he pointed with pride to the rec
ord of trust prosecutions by his ad-
ministration. He then said he was
feeling the effects Of these prosecu-
tions in his campaign.
at is difficult to arouse any enthu-
siasm for your candidate among per-
sons who are being prosecuted" he
said MANY of these gentlemen are
very angry. There's Mr.. Damn OF
Cleveland, who was indicted for rebat-
ing. 1t has made him very angry and
very active against me, and he thinks
that am no patriot and no good can
didate for another term. But the un-
Indicted are in the majority and If
they will stand by me I can afford
to lose the indicted vote.
"When I was a candidate four years
ago Mr.. Roosevelt commended me in
so flattering that | could NOT
read what he said without blushins
and | can't now. Either he has chang
ed or l have and I think | have seen
evidence that it is he. Certainly he
has changed in respect to the third

HOUSE INDUCES in
RANKEST HORSEPLAY
THOUGH TIME is GROWING
SHORT LEGISLATORS STILL
LOAF ON THE JOB

Santa Fe, N. NJ, May 15.-The
house this morning engaged in horse
play for about an hour when Major
Lwelleyn introduced a house joint re
solution appropriating $4,000 for the
relief of the democracy of New Mex
ico The measure provided that this
money should be turned over to the
adjutant general to equip and main
tain emergency hospital corps in all
counties of the state, which are to
look after the dead and wounded dur
ing the coming democratic conven-
tions this fall. After a lengthy de-
bate the resolution was passed and
Catron and Blanchard were appoint
ed committee to request the SEN
ate failed to see the joke and refer
red the resolution to the committee
on militia where it will lay.
Among the important bills in the
house was one by Speaker Baca pro
viding an increase in the mounted po-
Lice; another by the speaker provid-
| ing a uniform system of accounting
and auditing and placing the travel
ling auditor and two assistants under
the state auditor. This would take
the power to appoint away from the
governor.
Llewellyn introduced a bill to
create the office of legal advisor to
the governor and fixing salary of
! $4,000. Young and Cooney introduc-
ed a bill for the inspection of mines.
This is the act drawn by Mine In
pector J. E. Sheridan and is a com
plete mining code. The Evans pro
/ bate act was taken up in the house
and bitterly fought by Champion. Mo
reno and Vargas, Mr.. Vargas saying
there is only one lawyer in Rio Ar

torney. The house will meet this af
ternoon and may resume action on

will not pass today. The senate adj
