DENVER WILL HAVE
COMMISSION FORM?
Sentinel Special Service.

s"NAANAAANA sitAlhA sNfl ANEs
Denver, Nov lG-Now that the
excitement of the election is subsid-
ing, and the people of Denver are
getting their second wind following
ihe results, the matter of a commits
sion form OF government for Denver
is again before the electorate. 4 call
has been sent out TO all the leaders
Of the movement by James Randulpn
Walker who was The leader Of the
proposed plan last spring, to assem-
bic saturday night 10 further dis
cuss the proposition and to deCiue
what is best TO do in the premises.
Chairman Walker believes that in
asmuch as the home rule bill and
the recall of judicial decision mea-
sure have carried, that the situation
is sufficiently cleared to permit Of
The adoption of direct amendment
TO the city charter without much op-
position to the plan, such rs develop
ed when the mater was up for con-
sideratiOn last spring.
Those who are behind the PROPOSE
tiOn are the same people who adyo-
Gated commission form government
last May. Mr. Walker believes that
the coming meeting will result in
getting all forces together for the
measure an dthat when 1t is submit
ted TO a vote will win easily There
are already some 5000 signatures to
petitions calling for u charter con-
ventiun which can be filed at any
time bus the plan now is to swell
the number of names to 2O,OOU or
10000 which it is believed can be
done without very much trouble.
Those behind the proposition, how
ever, may meet decided opposition.
Thomas Annear, commissioner of
supplis, is apparently against the
proposition, and ii is said he has call
ed meeting OF employees of the city
who are against the movement for a
commission form of government. The
counter movement will bring about
fight between the two forces.
Which will win, however, remains to
be seen later
Chairman Walker believes that the
dominant party Che CitizensD should
now redeem the pledges made the
citizens that if victorious the party
would do what it could for a com
mission government. It is for a full
fillment of this prediction promise
that Mr.. Walker now is pushing the
matter 10 an end. The faction of the
Citizens party; that attempt to enter
state politics by putting candidates on
their ticket and charging a fee of
from $25 TO 500. during the late
election, is against the Walker prop
nsition and will fight commission
form government This faction is
not really considered the genuine
Citizens party in Denver. and is
hopelessly in the minority; Their op-
position to the movement, 1t Is said
by Chairman Walker, will have little
or no effeC on the work of the Citi-
zens' leaders who are working to
carry the project through to success.

BLOWS Up Rio
GRANDE TRACKS

Layton, Nov. l6.-Alleging that
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
trespassed upon his property by con-
struCting a sidetraCk, Jesse NJ. Smith
of this city put dynamite under the
track and blew it up. His action is
the result of controversy concerning
one rod of land which either adjoins
or belongs to Smiths farm.
The railroad company made several
Intellectual attempts to construct the
sidetruCk, but Smith kept jealous
guard and prevented work. He was
called away to attend to other bust
ness for few days. Upon his return
Smith found the track laid. Nothing
daunted. he erected fence across the
track. Then Il freight train was
backed through the fence.
This last oifense was too much for
the irate Smith. In the broad glare
OF daylight. without concealment of
any kind he destroyed section of
the track withdynamite. The road
has been repaired by the railroad
company What the next move will
be is uncertain
While Smith claims ownership, the
railroad officials assert the property
has been owned by the Denver & Rio
Grande for fully eighteen years. Ac-
Cording to Division Superintendent
n. A. Williams, the roadbed was for
merly used by the company for the
main track Mr.. Williams is of the
opinion that no action will be taken
against Smith.
