FRENCH REVOLUTION.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. "a
A veritable French revolution" whose
fury can only be appeased by distri-
button of land to the starving poems,
is the picture of the present Mexican
warfare, conveyed in private informa-
tion to members of the senate com
mittee on foreign relations today.
Flaming with industrial revolt, which
is inspired by widespread faith in the
preaching of industrial socialism,
conditions in the southern republic are
declared to be utterly beyond control
of the Madero government.
Senator Smith of Michigan, chair
man of the sub committee which has
been investigating Mexican troubles,
upon his return from Ell Paso refused
today to discuss the situation beyond
expressing the belief that no report
would be made to the senate at pres
ent. He said that he had talked with
member of the Madero cabinet, but
declined to comment on the hope of
oliiSihi MeNiCo lildl tle revolt would
be put down. However. according to
information received by the commit
tee members, the Madero regime
seems doomed. All of the abuses which
led to the overthrow of Diaz-owner.
ship of the land by few immensely
wealthy favorites of the government
and practically enslavement of large
proportion of the people-are con-
tinucd today. Worst of all, the Hen
nequin" plantations of Yucatan re-
main vast slave pens their profits GO
ing into a few hands. 1t is in this
region that the rebels are committing
the most horrible barbarities upon
land owners whom they capture. Us
ually the rebels are former Slaves
in the district.
The committee learned further that
Madero and his advisers refuse to sur.
render any of their lands or to re-
store civil rights to the people, for
fear that this concession will only
hasten his fall

MRS. GOEGLINE DEAD.

Last evening the whole town was
shocked to learn that Nellie O'Dris-
coll Geogline had succumbed to that
dreaded disease, smallpox. The pre-
vious evening a letter from her hus-
band written at Caracas, Mexico, con-
veyed the news of her illness but held
out strong hope for her recovery.
While her parents were very much
alarmed. they were not prepared for
the terrible blow the message which
arrived shortly after last night, had
in store for them.
Nellie O'Driscoll was one of Du-
rango's fairest daughters. Beautiful
in face and beautiful in character she
was ever a joy and benediction to
her parental home. When she mar
ried that splendid young man, Will
Geogline eight years ago it seemed
that long life filed with choicest
blessings would be theirs.
She was a devoted wife and mother
and exemplified the best type of wo-
man of domestic tastes. She was a
home keeper whose hospitality it was
pleasure to all to partake.
A few years ago Mr.. Geogline ac-
cepted lucrative position in Mexico
and while it meant many deprivations
for the wife to accompany him there
she had not other thought than to &c
and make the home. She has remain.
ed through the long weary months
when conditions made it possible fol
her to stay. Only when all Americans
were ordered out of the country BY
our government did she consent tc
leave for any length of time. Their
as soon as possible for women to re
turn she went back to the across tn,
border.
Husband, parents, brothers and tn,
two little daughters are weighed dow
with grief today, such as only tn,
passing of good woman brings.
On account of the law forbiddinl

torially, criticising the Republican.
We 10 not care whether Creel made
the statement or not. He is one of
liose imaginative feiiows who would
say most anything which he thought
would bring round of applause from
his auditors. We know that the state
ment which he is reported to have
made is not true, but we also know
that it is just such foolhardy state
ments by agitationist reformers and
the discussion of the same in the edi-
torial columns by other newspapers
of Denver that have made Denver one
Of the hardest-up cities in the west.
We know that it has been the eternal
the reformers that have driven capi-
tai from Denver and that have caused
capital to seek other places for its
investment. We do not know, but we
would wager guess, that Mr.. Creel
never paid So taxes in his life, and
we have an idea that the same is
true of the two men who are con-
Quoting the editorial fight in the two
papers over the matter. We do know
that the three of them together are
causing the taxpayers Of the capital
city more trouble and more financial
loss than can be caused in any other
editorial manner. Denver will never
begin to improve until there is a
change in the talk of her reformers
and in the policy of her papers. Abuse
of city by hair-brained imaginator,
when this abuse is untrue and un-
founded, does not establish factories
or fill dinner pals. Replies to that
abuse do not increase pay rolls. The
only way to bring prosperity to city
is to establish healthy sentiment in
which all will work together for the
commercial advancement of the city
and in which graft and local viola
tions of law are published with the
least show of advertising, by public
sentiment SO strong that men of the
Creel type are forced to understand
that the room they occupy if they
abuse the city is worth more to the
city than their presence.
Whenever Denver establishes such
sentiment, and not until then, will
the capital that is now leaving her by
every train start to float toward her
again, and until then there will not be
any smoke issuing from her now
smokeless factory chimneys. Hot air
from mems throats used to abuse a
city always stops black smoke from
her chimneys.-Pueblo Chieftain.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The future
Of Finley ]. Shepard, aside from be-
ing the husband of the former Miss
Helen Gould, was the subject of dis
cussion today among those interested
in the wedding Wednesday at Lynd-

ness. Railroad men here said today
that men holding positions such as
that of Shepard averaged $4,000 a

SCIENTISTS.

BERLIN, Jan. 24.-Stirred by the
fact that other scientists have sue
ceeded in securing culture for his
cure for tuberculosis, DR.. Frederick
Friedman announced tonight that he
will tomorrow formally submit some
ment experts for tests. This action is
taken because of Friedmans belief that
he is in danger of losing all credit
for his discovery which he claims is
an absolute cure for the dread dis
ease.
German scientists earlier in the day
had declared that they had outwitted
Friedman and that they hoped soon
to be able to say on first hand infor-
nation whether the cure is genuine
or not.
Prof. Felix Klemperer, a scientist,
announced that he had obtained the
consent of one of Friedman's patients
to withdraw from his arm the living
bacilli that had been injected by DR..
Friedman. The germ has been repro
duced in large quantities, Klemperer
said, and scientists all over Germany
are preparing to experiment with the
bacilli.
"You may say" Klemperer said,
that | already admit that the germ
will help many sufferers, but ! can
not as yet say it will help ALL"
In another well known Berlin lab
oratory, the Friedman culture is be-
ing propogated and experimental with
by one of the most eminent scientists
of Germany, formerly colleague of
Friedman, whose name is withheld.
Prof, August Bier, most violent en-
emy of Friedman, has obtained some
of the bacilli and is conducting expert
ments on tubercular guinea pigs. He
conceded that many remarkable cures
had been effected and said that ap-
parently the Friedman cure was gen.
uine.
DR.. Piorskowski, the bacteriologist,
who formerly worked with Friedman,
tonight gave bottle of what he
says is the Friedman culture to DR..
A. B. Held of Pittsburg and two bot
ties to Fl. p. Simpson of Cleveland
to be taken to the United States for
use there. Simpson is to use his at
Saranac Lake, New York.
Friedman when told of this, said
that this culture was not the per-
fected one he is using now, but an
caller one, which, he says, is dan
gerous for use.
1t was after he learned this fact
and realized that many of the local
doctors now actually have possession
of his culture that Friedman announc-
ed that he will furnish the government
experts with details of his discovery
and enough of the culture for use in
experiments. He said tonight that he
will protect both Germany and Amer
lea from the irresponsible use Of his
discovery by getting the real remedy
IN the market Immediately.
