BIG PARADE HANDLED
BY THE TELEPHONE

Denver, Colo. Aug. 12.-(Special to
the Observer. )-With over 10000 men
in line General John Chase and his
committee of assistants formed and
directed the gigantic Knight Templar
parade here almost entirely by tele-
phone.A special central switchboard
had been installed at conclave head
quarters, and, by means Of branch
telephones at short intervals along
the line of march, the committee was
kept in direct touch with the move
ments and progress of the vast army
OF marching knights.
Besides the hest of knights Who
are in attendance az the conclave,
there are over 100, 900 visitors in the
city, and unusual and careful plans
have been prepared for their care and
comfort. Special plans have been ar
ranged by the telephone company in
anticipation OF the greet increase in
the number of telephone calls dur
ing the conc,ave. For months past,
that company has been busy Install
ing emergency telephones, and addi-
tional switchboard facilities and train
ing the $50 extra operators Who will
be required to help the regular force
in handling the calls. Over 250 emer-
ed with the newspapers and hotels
and Information bureaus, and at var,-
GUS places along the streets, tele-
phones connected with the central
exchange have been provided for the
convenience of the visitors.
Discussing the telephone prepara-
tions for the conclave visitors, an
official of the Mountain States Tele-
phone company said today: "Emer-
gencies such as this require that we
provide facilities far beyond our usual
daily need. The present convention,
with its vast irflux Of visitors and
consequent increase of telephone
calls is only a repetition of other
conventions we have handled, and
will have to handle in the future. Our
plant investment has always been,
and must always be, sufficient to take
care OF not only the usual daily busi-
ness, but the maximum number of
calls that ccme to our swltchboards.
This is true not only of Denver, and
other large centers, but of each one
OF our exchanges throughout the terri
tory. Every telephone call must be
handled as unit. The provisions
in Denver during the present con-
clave are such that each one of the
daily 200 900 calls will be handled as
promptly and as carefully as at any
other time"
The careful study and preparation
to provide for the telephone needs
OF conventions and similar gatherings
shows quite conclusively that the
business of the telephone company, as
well as that of other service corpora
tons, is unusual and that the diff
culties which confront them are not
to be Judged by everyday standards.

ROSS FIELDS SERIOUSLY
INJURED IN ACCIDENT

A most serious accident befell Ross
Fields in Black Hawk Yesterday after
noon, and the entire community is
shocked over the sad affair. He at
tempted to board the afternoon train
while Ut was passing the crossing at
Black Hawk street, missed his foot
Ing and was dragged some distance.
The wheels of the smoking car pass
ed over his left foot, mashing the
toes. The left leg was fractured in
Two places and the right leg also frac
tured.
l'ne injured man was placed in the
baggage car and was taken, to ST. Jo-
seph's hospital in Denver Last eve
ming he was operated on and half of
the lett leg was amputated. DR.. Saun-
ders accompanied him to Denver, and
returned this morning. The doctor
says the man is in a serious condi-
ton, but there are chances for his
recovery.
Fields had been resident of Gil
pin fer years. Several years ago,
he left here with his family and To-
Gated in Leadville. He had Just
come up from the valley yesterday
morning and had arranged to return
to Arvada, where he was visiting his
father-in-law, John Kevelin. He was
In the Clark Hardware store in Black
Hawk and was detained in talking
until the train had reached the cross
ing. He ran down the street and at
tempted to board it and save the
walk to the depot. He carried a vio-
lin and it is thought that this pre-
vented him from making success
ful landing on the platform of the
coach.
At Denver, the C. S. doctors re-
fused to have any hing to do with
the case, as the railway company
feels that 1T is not responsible for
the accident in any way.
Mr.. Fields has wife and several
children. He is well known in the
county, having been an engineer on
the tram and on the Cook mine for
years. 1t is hoped that he will re-
cover.

always a pleasure, for it means an
other evening of delightful songs,
good music, and clever one-aot plays.
Mr.. Newman has a field in the the
atrical world that is peculiarly his
own and his performances the past
few seasons have been unusually
smart and bright. His entertainments

an entirely new company of young
artists and he feels sure that the
public will welcome them and like
them. for they all come with splen-
did endorsements.

young lady violinists in the country.

ence and splendid technical ability
she brings refined temperament and
girlish grace that endears her at
once TO an audience.
The pianist and accompan:st is
Miss Sarah Hunter, a musician of I'M
usual talents. She is great favori,e

ing ways as for the excellence Of
her technique and nice Interpretation.

Fowler, who has a contra.to voice
that is sympathetic and full OF ex-
quisite tones of feeling and tempara-
ment
