ROOT RIDES TO power
ON THE STEAM ROLLER
Elected temporary Chairman AT

In Convention.

Chicago, ILL.,. June 19.-Against the
threats, charges and bitter invective of
the Roosevelt forces, the Taft support
ers in the Republican National Con-
vention Tuesday put through the first
portion of their program by electins
Senator Elihu Root. of New York. as

people carried out their programs as
announced In advance almost TO the

capture of two notorious outlaws who
have terrorized three counties in Colo
RADIO and Wyoming for more than a
week, and have stolen scores of horses
belonging to ranchers. Wounded al
most to death. the men held out for
seven hours in a mountain cabin, forty
miles northeast of here, and defied a
posse OF forty men, led by three sher-
ifs, until they were told that unless
they surrendered they would be blown
to atoms by dynamite. which had been
smuggled under the foundation of the
building. The outlaws were within
striking distance OF timber, and when
they saw the fuse of the dynamite
sticks they made dash for the trees
and liberty. but were intercepted by
members of the posse.

Train Wreck Kill. Sixteen.

Chicago-Dashing through a heavy
fog at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
rushing past all signals and even ig
noring the cracking torpedoes placed
on the track as a last desperate effort
to avoid wreck, the great steel-jack-
eted Omaha mail train on the Burling-
ton railroad crashed into a stalled
transcontinental limited at Western
Springs. Fourteen persons met in-
stant death. two died while being
rushed to the hospital, and forty were
injured, at least four of whom are
lowering between life and death this
evening.
Passenger train No. from Denver
stopped at Western Springs because
of hot box" in one of the rear
Pullman slApers. This was about
eighteen miles west of Chicago. The
mail train, running nine minutes be-
hind, was wrapped in fog which hung
like death pail over the scene of the
tragedy of a few minutes later. The
engineer failed to see the signals
against him, and when he heard the
popping of the giant torpedoes hun
dred yards behind the stalled passen-
ger trail it was too late.

the United States Senate took away
from William Lorimer his seat as jun
ior senator from Illinois. His cleo
ton was held to have been invalid
and he was declared to have been
the recipient of votes obtained by cor
rupt methods and practices"
Lorimer has been a member of the
Senate since June is. 1909. The first
his election became public in April.
1910, when Charles A. White, men,
ber of the Illinois Legislature, swore
that he had received $1,000 as a bribe
for voting for Lorimer.
The Senate by its action reversed
the majority of its own investigating
committee and changed its vote of
March /, 1911, when Lorimer retained
his seat, 46 to 40.
Technically, Mr.. Lorimer will pass
out of the records of the Senate as a
member of that body, notwithstanding
his more than three years occupancy
of his seat.
Facing his associates with the dec
laration: Il am ready" Mr.. Lorimer
sat in the chamber and heard his fate
decreed as the roll call showed the
adoption of the resolution of Senator
Luke Lea of Tennessee, the Senate's
youngest member. The men who for
three days had held the Senate to
close attention with his remarkable
speech of defense and attack upon his
enemies, rose wearily from his seat
and passed back to cloak room
door.
Senators and members OF the House
gathered about him, grasping his
hand and patting him on the back.
Outside the Senate door as Mr.. Lori
mer stepped into the corridor, friends
greeted him again, and party of SIS
ters of charity pushed forward to ex-
press regret at his expulsion.

U. 8. Grabs Colorado Water.

Denver.-The Interior Department
at Washington made it known for the
first time recently that the United
States government filed on 100000
acre feet of the waters of the Rio
Grande river in 1906 and that in 1905
it filed on all the unappropriated wa
ters of that stream and its tributaries.
The information became public in a
letter from Samuel Adams, first assist
ant secretary of the Interior Depart
ment, to the Denver Chamber OF Com
merce. 1t was in response to the reso-
lutions recently adopted by the cham
ber in regard to the water rights in
the San Luis valley in connection
with the refusal of the department to
grant rights of way for reservoirs and
canals upon the Rio Grande and Its
tributaries
The correspondence between the
chamber and the Interior Department
easily opens to the people of Colorado
the biggest issue which is before it
today, and which threatens to become
national in its character.
The federal government in this COM
munication admits that it has appro-
priated for its own use the waters of
one of Colorado's greatest watersheds
and that it intends to use this water
for the benefit of New Mexico. Mex
leo and Texas under the big Elephant
Butte reservoir.
The government by this action de-
prives the people Of the San Luis val
ley of the right to reclaim their own
lands with the waters of Colorado In
order that the people Of two other
states and of foreign nation may ben
eft thereby.
The state of Colorado owns 250,000
acres Of land in that section from
which the right to file has been with
drawn, and 1t is estimated that this
land would be worth at least 100000
600 with water upon it.
Resolutions were adopted calling
rpon Governor Shafroth to protest to
President Taft against the illegal ac-
ton of the Interior Department in
Withholding the right to file on the wa
ters of the Rio Grande.
The resolutions provided that If nee
essary the governor should bring suit
in the federal courts to protect the
rights OF the state. Copies were sent
to the secretary of the interior, Pres
ident Taft and to Senator Simon Gug-
genheim. All three of them reached
the interior Department.
