Famous Colorado Leader
Passes Away After a
Long Illness
HAD BEEN IN SENATE
THIRTY YEARS
Was Known as One Of the
Original Silver Re-
publicans'

| Denver Col, Feb. 24-Henry Moor,
! Teller former cabinet officer and fol
more than 80 years United States sena'
tor from Colorado died here yesterday
morning. Mr.. Teller, who was SO years
old, had been i'll for two years, and his
death was not unexpected.
Washington, Feb. 24-Henry Teller
was one Of the Original silver Republi-
cans Many of his supporters contend
he was the first He was so called at
any rate, when he left the Republican
national convention at st. Louis in 1896
because he did not agree with the gold
standard plank of the platform and ran
again for the Senate in Colorado as an
independent silver Republican. He was
elected with "a votes out of 100. and
after serving that term the silver Re-
pubicans in Colorado merged with the
Democrats and Mr.. Teller returned to
the Senate-that time as Democrat.
He served one term as such and retired
in 1903 to make a place for the late Sen
ator Hughes. also of the same party.
News of Mr. Teller's death was re-
ceiyed with deep regret in congressional
circles, where those who were of his
time referred to it as the passing of Han-
other old line senator" Teller was one
of the first two senators elected when
Colorado became state. He was ac-
credited with being an exceptionally fine
lawyer and sprang to the front in ma
tional affairs almost at once, when he
took leading part in the congressional
"A x.F ha Ia
troversy in 1876.
Distinction came to him later in other
lines of congressional work; he always
took leading part in discussion of any
thing economic-on the tariff and none
tary questions he was one of the first
debaters. He was a stout champion of
the West; any legislation for the devel-
opment of that portion of the country
always found him fighting in the front
ranks. His personal life was unostenta-
tious and simple; those who knew him
best say probably no other man in Con-
gress ever did more kindnesses for other
folk without letting them know about it.
In 1883 Teller left the Senate to enter
President Arthur's cabinet as secretary
of the interior; but he left that office
again in 1885 to re-enter the Senate.
While serving his last term he was
a member of the national monetary com
mission, which studied reformation of
the banking and fiscal system of the
United States at home and abroad. He
continued to serve ON that commission
until it expired by law, after he had
ceased to be senator, however.
Teller was born in Granger, Allegheny
county, N. Y, in 1880, had common
school education, topped off by a little
while at Alfred university; then studied
law, praeticed in Binghamton, N. ";
went west to Illinois in 1858 and went
to Colorado in 1861.

Wisconsin Prisoner Lays His Downfall
to Horse Kicking

Milwaukee, Wis.,, Feb. Whether
Edward Setback, "a years old, is afflicted
with mania to forge checks as the re-
suit of a horse kicking him in the head
and causing a possible pressure on The
brain will be determined by physicians.
When Setback was arraigned in the dis.
trict court, Judge Page yielded to the
plea of the boy and on recommendation
of prosecutor and police detective
assigned DIR. Albert +. Young, county
physician, to examine him.
Setback says that while employed in
Montana he was kicked on the head by
a vicious horse. Examining his head
the police found four-inch scar on the
back of the skull.
Setback believes the kick from the
horse was directly responsible for his
misconduct and asks an operation for
moral surgery to cure him.

Former Ball Player

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-James W..
wadsworth, for whom York state Re
publicans are casting ballots for Unit
ed States senator today, was In his
youth college and amateur baseball
player OF more than local repute. In
the springs OF 1895, 1895 and 1897,
wadsworth played a stellar game at
first base for Yale, and during the
summer months shone on the fast
Geneseo team, then one Of the head
liners In amateur baseball circles IN
New York. That team, which was

WALTER CAMP
COMPLETES HIS
CAREER AT YALE
BY HARoLb v. wiLoox.


When Walter Camp resigned this
fall as treasurer OF the Yale Financial
union. he practically severed his con-
nection with the university where he
has exerted a powerful influence for
upwards OF % years. Two years ago
he resigned as chairman or the Yale
football committee, and although he
still retains membership In the
university council. his active work In
the New Haven institution OF learn
ing n believed to be at an end.
Probably Camps greatest service TO
Yale was the turning OF an annual
athletic deficit into surplus which
now amounts to $126000, When the
grea. gridiron authority and organ
izer first took hold, the athletic asso-
citation was continually running be-
hind. but since 1898, more than a gem
GRAFTON ago, there has always been a
surplus at the school year end. Some
of the sports, of course, have never
paid their way. but football and base
ball lave more than made up the diff
ference. To Camp also belongs much
OF the credit for the great stadium
which was recently erected at New
Haven.
Camp Is best known to. the world
outside Of the university as foot
ball authority and critic. He was n
member OF the varsity for four years,
and for two OF those years was cap
tain, being one OF the few players TO
retain the captaincy OF university
team q second year. He has always
assisted the coaching at Yale more
or less, and his work on the rules COM
mittee has played an important part
In the development Of the modern
open game.
II was his suggestion which result
ed iE granting fourth down and
the distance to be gained
to ten yards. This wash an unusual
stand for Camp, because Yale was
always strongest In smashing. plung-
ing game. and speaks volumes for his
interest In football as a sport rather
than Q highway to glory for the school
with which his personal sympathies
happened to be. II Is well known that
Coach Hinkey's efforts to place Eli In
the forefront Of the open play move
ment have met with the utmost ap-
prevail Of the old master.
While Camp has retired from the
university to turn his attention to
manufacturing interests In New HAY
en-, H. Is believed that he will continue
20 write his impressions and analyses
OF the gridiron sport, and to extend
every aid OF his experience to the
lettering Of the game. For the sport
20 lose Camp altogether would be q
disastrous blow.
