Up to the first of June last year
there had been only six visitors to
the cliff ruins in the Mesa Verde park.
Up to June LIST this year there is
record of forty visitors and quite a
number have gore in since the first of
the month which shows something of
the way this attraction is increasing
in popularity and what we may expect
of it in few years. We should by
all means plan big celebration to
commemorate the opening of the road
and let the people of the country far

Roosevelt addressed a gathering of
Rhode Island leaders of the national

a plea for the maintenance of ade-
quate naval strength. Congressman
who vote against two battleships a
year, he said, were ION a level with
men who voted against fortifying Ha-
waii and our stations in the West In
dies. These men are unfit to repre-
sent the American people, and they
by their actions invite national dis
aster and humiliation"
He characterized as wicked any
advocation of arbitration where ma
tional honor and interests are con-
cerned, and said that to enforce me
Monroe doctrine, to retain Panama,
Alaska and our insular possessions,
to determine what aliens and on what
terms they shall come to this country

WOMAN VICTIM IN
MURDER MYSTERY

Chicago, ILL.,, July 2.-The body of a
well dressed unidentified woman of
about 35 was found on the platform
at the rear of a store at 7O1 West
Madison street today by a teamster
who, after notifying the watchmaE,
disappeared without giving his name.
Detectives are searching for him.
The jugular vein was severed and
nearby was a clasp knife with blood
stained blade. Apparently the woman
was attacked by a man, who cut her
clothes. There were evidences of a
struggle. The watchman told the po.
lice he saw a woman in the alley back
of the store at IL last night, but
heard no sound of a struggle later
The police believe the woman was
murdered after having been criminal
ly assaulted. The assailant did not re-
move a gold necklace with a locket
and two gold rings.
Andrew Dufrain, Al, night watch
man at the Volunteer of America ho-
tel, was taken into custody and ques-
toned by the police. 1t is said he was
seen by a policeman going into the
alley several hours before the body
was found. The police discovered nu-
merous scratches on his right arm.
He said he was scratched by a cat.
Bloody finger prints on a platform
were photographed by the police in an
effort to identify the slayer.
The victim was identified as Mrs.
F. Weston, a piano teacher and sing
er who appeared in moving picture
theaters, in which she was known as
Mrs. Mitchell The police are work
ing on the theory the murder was
done by "Apaches" who infest the dis
trict, and that the motive was rob-
berry. While her jewelry was not mo-
Tested, her purse was empty.

Miss Markham Receives
Settlement From Brit
ish Marquis.
COURT CASE DISMISSED
Young Woman Well Known on
Stage in America and
England.

London, July 1.-Two hundred fifty
thousand dollars and all costs of the
suit is the price the marquis of North
ampton has agreed to pay to settle a
suit for breach of promise brought
against him by an actress, Miss Daisy
Markham, whose real name is Miss
into the tens of thousands on account
of the number of distinguished coun-
sci engaged to plead for the opposing
parties. The marquis, better known
as the earl of Compton, only recently
succeeded to the title at the age of
27. The plaintiff is we'll known in
America and the British isles under
her stage name. The settlement was
announced when the case was called
by the high court justice this morn
ing in a court room crowded with
fashionable women and actresses who
had come in anticipation of listening
to some interesting evidence.
Sir Edward Carson, former solicitor
general, who, with Edward Hammered,
recorder for Liverpool, and member
of parliament, and two junior bar
risters, appeared for Miss Markham,
informed the court that a settlement
had been reached after a consultation
of counsel on both sides. Henry L.
Duke, unionist member of parlia-
ment, Frederick Smith, one of the
unionist leaders, and Raymond AS
ouith son of the premier repre sented
the marquis.
81 FATEfER PREVENTS MATCH.
Carson explained that Miss Mark
ham met the marquis last year when
he made promise of marriage, whiol
was not denied. Subsequently at the
desire of his father, the marquis broke
off the engagement. In doing so he
wrote Miss Markham he wanted her
to believe his action had been taken
from a sense of duty, genuinely be-
lieving it best for both parties. When
his father talked to him, the marquis
wrote, he faced me with the same
thoughts / told you of when first /
loved you and which ever since have
been trying to suppress" Marquis
further wrote: "You do not know
how these so-called ladies will treat
you and | really could not bear to see
you suffering. Oh, if / could but es-
cape from my position. You will al
ways be my ideal, my beautiful
dream" The letter concluded. your
