Mr.. Bryan should not forget that the
convention that first nominated him
for president seated Nebraska dele,
cation of which he was a member after
it had been defeated at home and after
contest in the convention. Without
this action he would never have been
able to have made his crown of thorns ;
speech.
g. AS to the action of the national
committee, / have gone into that ques-
tion fully before in an interview in
the Times. l do not care to go into
the matter further than to say that the
committee acted with absolute fair
ness and in accordance with the evi
dence before it, and that nearly two
thirds of the contests before the con-
mittee were decided by unanimous
vote.'

GOVERNOR BARS PRIZE FIGHTS

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. 3.-Govenor
William Mcdonald announced this af-
ternoon that he would not permit any
more boxing contests to take place in
the state of New Mexico that are over
ten rounds, and that he would not per
NIT any "prize fights at all.
l am going to stop this business of
prize fighting in New Mexico,'' said
the governor. 1.-The law authorizes
boxing matches, and propose to sec
that only boxing matches are held.
"How am L going to do its
Well, IN head of the militia in
this state, and L guess l can stop the
fights If L try. No boxing contests
will go over ten rounds, either. Tho
next session of the legislature meets
soon. If that Legislature wants to lie.
galize prize fighting it can pass a bill
ny a two-thirds vote over my veto.' -
The action the governor has taken is
no doubt due to the unsatisfactory
ending OF the Johnson-Flynn bout
winch was staged at Las Vegas on July
4. Several of the city's prominent cit
lzens were enticed to invest money in
the venture only to meet financial
loss, as the bout was frost.
The hight was about the, worst ever
staged in this country and disgasted
the few dyed n-the wool fans tb,.
Journeyed to New Mexico. The mer-
chants and business men were led to
believe that several thousand fans
would be drawn from different parts
of the United States. There were not
enough people in attendance to paw
the merchants for the trouble and ex-
pense they went to, so most of them
lost money.
Promoters in Albuquerque and Las
Vegas are satisfied with the governor, ;,
uitimatum, as it will allow ten-round
bouts before the different athletic
clubs of the state.

HENRYLYN DIVERSION SUIT
SET FOR AUGUST Is

Through the efforts of Ernest Knae-
bel assistant to the United States at
torney general, the hearing of the gov
ernment's suit against the Henrylyn
project to prevent the diversion of
waters of the Grand through the range
to the Clear creek shed, will be heard
by Federal Judge Robert Z. Lewis
August 10.
The suit is one of several Of similar
character brought to prevent corpora
tions and private individuals from u.s.
ing the public domain for any purpose
without first getting permit from the
secretary of the interior or the depart
ment of agriculture.
1t is brought on the ground that Ger.
tain persons took up claims, ostensibly
for mining purposes, but in a direct
line across the range, and that in re.
allty these claims were taken up so
that the promoters of the Henrylyn
project were instrumental in having
the claims taken up through the range,
thus hoping to obtain ownership of the
land in fee simple, instead of holding it
under revocable permit.
The government seeks an Injunction
restraining the promoters of the pro
ject and the contractor from boring the
tunnel until the necessary permit has
been secured and until the government
has been protected in the premises.
When this suit has been heard,
Judge Lewis will set the hearings of
the Central Colorado Power company
and the Telluride Light and Power com
pany cases, which are similar.
Mr.. Knaebel has been in Denver ten
days, preparing the cases for the gov
ernment, and will remain until afte:
the hearings. Assistant United States
District Attorney Ralph Hartzell is as
sociated with Mr.. Knaebel in the
cases.

JUDGE JOHN L. GRAY IS DYING

Judge John l.. Gray, formerly
prominent and honored citizen of this
city and well known and highly es
teemed all over the state, is near 10
death in hospital at Greeley. Dropsy
is the illness which seems certain to
end his life, and his nephew, Grey
Steele of this city, returned this mora
ing from the bedside of the old gentle
man with the statement from attend
ing physicians that no hope need be
held out for any long term of life for
the patient.
Mr.. Steele is Judge Gray's only rel
ative in this part of the country, and
his other relatives are not known here
He was at one time county judge of
this county, and later was honored with
the district attorneyship at Glenwooi,
and for twelve years was county clerk
and recorder of Park county before
coming here.
Judge Gray left Grand Junction
about twelve years ago and went To
Glenwood Springs. He was later at
Steamboat Springs; then in the real
estate business in Denver, and has re-
Gently been residing on large tract
of land near Greeley at Bridgevale.
Last week, Mr.. Steele, who is a wei
| known engineer on the Rio Grandc,
received a message from attendants TO
come at once, as Judge Gray had suf-
fered stroke of appoplexy. Mr..
Steele spent week with the judge,
and arranged for his removal from
Bridgevale to the Greeley hospital.
The many friends of the former
jurist will hear of his serious illness
with deep regret.-Grand Junction Sen

There is at least one thing that is
creditable to the democrats of Gar

congressional assembly at Pueblo they
were unanimous in their support of
Congressman Taylor for rcnominatlon.
For personal reasons it was bitter

only thing to do.

not known that his condition was 50

Army Speculates on
AinSWorth Exemption

Much comment Is heard In army cir
cles over the order recently issued by
the War Department providing that all
officers In the department must be SUBJ
ject to detail after four years service
here, in that It does not apply to Adju-
tant General Ainsworth.
For a time 1t was believed the vet
eran adjutant at last would be sent to
the field. He has been in Washington
SO long that nobody remembers just
when he came, and all efforts to re-
move him SO far have failed.
All other officers, however, are made
subject to the new order, including
those who outrank General Ainsworth.
