TUNNEL BONDS Held
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
SUPREME COURT RULES THAT.
DENVER <, is SUPPORTING
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE

Denver, July S.-The state supreme
court today held that the Denver city
bonds for the driving of a tunnel
through the continental Divide to be
used by the Denver & Salt Lake rail
road, were unconstitutional on the
ground that it would lend public credit
to private enterprise.
At a special election last February
the electors of Denver authorized the
issuance of 100000 city bonds to
drive the tunnel to be used by the
Denver & Salt Lake railroad, the road
to contribute s1,5OO,0O0. In an agree
ment between the city and the road
the latter was to meet the interest
payments on the bonds and provide
for their redemption In the agree
ment the city was given the right to
use the tunnel for various purposes.

BELOVED VAGABOND"
MADE MORE LOVABLE
MRS. MCFARLAND IN LECTURE AT
NORMAL SHOWS FULL BEAU
TY OF TALE

The theme of Mrs McFarlane's lee
ture yesterday afternoon, which was
delivered to a larg audience in the
Normal auditorium, was found to be
philosophy and beauty in literature.
The English illustration of this theme
was THE Beloved Vagabond,' by VIII
liam j. Locke, "the most lovable and
quotable book Of the last decade.
Mrs. McFarlane considered the book
from three points of view-as illus
trating a theory of education; as re-
vealing the value and the limitation
of conventionality; and as showing
the relation of purpose or lack of pur-
pose to human achievement and happi-
ness.
AS further illustration of the beauti-
full and philosophic in artistic litera-
ture, Mrs. McFarlane reviewed "Chi-
tra," one act play by Tagore, which
has been immensely popular since its
translation into English; as further IL
lustration of the characteristics of the
literature of India, she retold some
beautiful short stories, "The Lotus and
the Bee,' "The Elephant and the
Ants" and "The Repentant Wife"

Swift. decisive and effective action is
necessary on the part of local, state
and national health officers. The
immediate cooperation Of the general
public and especially Of all railroad,
transportation and local officials is
also necessary. Ports reached by
shipping must be watched to prevent
landing of the rodents responsible for
spreading the disease 1t is impos-
sible to state at present the extent
of the infection or the number of hid
den cases. but we may rest assured
that the fight will be waged with the
aid of all the weapons of modern
science. ana that all necessary funds
will be promptly provided.
Some one has said that the first
yellow fever patient always dies. SO
also of bubonic plague. A character
istic of this disease is that it smolders
and suddenly breaks
cut, apparently from a number of
different centers of infection. The
discovery of two cases in New Or
leans indicates that there are other
persons infected, and we may look for
the report of additional cases in the
course of the next week. The coun-
try is to be congratulated on the fact
that New Orleans and Louisiana have
in this emergency wide awake and
energetic health officers who have
lost no time in acting.

VICTIM OF ACID BURNS
ALWAYS TO HIDE FACE
SuBJScT-OF DUMAS NOVEL RE-
ENACTED BY ACCIDENTS AW-
Full SACRIFICE

New York, July S.-After months of
torture, during which he has endured
many operations, Albert Richards, a
ratient in Roosevelt hospital, has been
condemned to spend the rest of his
life wearing a mask, although his fea-
lures, burned by nitric acid two years
ago. have been partly restored by
surgery.
Richards came to the hospital, it was
learned, because the mask frightened
everyone he came near Dumas story
OF "The Man in the Iron Mask" will
be duplicated in this case, however
for he can never escape the necessity
Of concealing his Disagreement.
Richards, chemist, was at work
on an experiment which involved the
use of explosives. The ingredients
blew up in a crucible. Richards was
holding a carboy Of nitric acid. He
stumbled and fell, smashing the glass
container and splashing the fiery il
quid on his face and body.
For months he was not expected to
| live. When he finally emerged from
the hospital he went home wearing a
mask. After some weeks he got work
as a gardener, but his appearance ex-
| cited so much comment that he was
discharged
| During all the weeks since his re-
lease from the hospital his wife had
obeyed his orders never to raise the
mask from his face. One day her Gu
rlosity got the better of her and she
raised the cloth and looked at her
husband. She screamed and ran from
the house. She never lived with him
afterward.
A few months ago his case came to
the attention of surgeon, who had
him removed to Roosevelt hospital,
where DR.. Karl Connel undertook to
cover the scars by skin grating.
+ Until two weeks ago the surgeons
had hoped the miracle could be car
ried so far that Richards would
emerge with a presentable face Com
plications arose, however and the sur
geons now agree that the man must
never show his marred face again

ROOSEVELT MAY Be
CANDIDATE Yet
GR1 4 n
PROGRESSIVE LEADERS IN NEW
YORK ADMIT HE is ONLY
POSSIBILITY

New York, July 8.-For two hours
today the progressive leaders of New
York state used every argument at
their command to induce Colonel
Roosevelt to agree that he would ac-
cept the nomination for governor.
After it was all over Colonel Rocse-
velt said he had nothing TO say at this
time, and would not change his IRE
vious statements declining to run. 1t
was understood that the question was
still an open one, with the colonel
continuing to stand out against the
proposal that he head the state ticket.
Among those who talked with
Colonel Roosevelt was Clarence P.
Dodge, chairman of the progressive
state committee of Colorado, who is
trying to induce the colonel to visit
Colorado and make at least one
speech.
The question Orose whether Colonel
Roosevelt viii accept the progressive
nomination for governor of New York
may be decided to day at a meeting
at progressive national headquarters
here of the state leaders.
Delegations of progressives came
to New York from various parts of
the state to urge Colonel Roosevelt
to take the nomination. They said
frankly they had no other candidate
and had not even considered another
name for the head of the ticket.
Colonel Roosevelts position was re-
inforced by the attitude of progress
sives in other states. Ever since his
return from Europe he has been re
ceiving letters and kilograms from
progressiyes in all parts of the coun-
| try urging him not to accept the nomi-
nation. In some cases it has been
charged that the New York leaders
are willing to run the chance of IN
juring the party in the nation for the
sake Of making a good showing in
this state.
| Colonel Roosevelt agreed today to
make his speech In Boston, originally
set for July q. on August II.

TIoN AT ONCE

Washington, July S.-Although the
department of justice is preparing to
go ahead and file its long planned
antitrust suit for the dissolution of
the New Haven railroad system, at
torney general McReynolds still is
hopeful of settlement without pro-
longed fight in the courts. AS was
announced some time ago, President
Wilson and the attorney general had
agreed the suit should be filed this
month unless the Massachusetts, legis-
lature and the executive committee
OF the railroad agree on certain 1egis-
lation necessary for disposing of some
of the stocks which the government
cnotends are being held in violation
of law The attorney general has
agreed to withhold tne suit until July
lis.
| The Massachusetts legislature ad-
journed yesterday without taking the
necessary action.
Administration officials pin their
faith of a settlement without long
fight on the fact that a new legisla-
ture comes into existence on January
II. Under ordinary procedure a suit
filed this month would not proceed
very far before that time and could
be halted whenever the necessary leg
Iislation for peaceful settlement was
enacted.

IN NEW ORLEANS

Thanks to the ceaseless vigilance
of the quarantine officers of the Unit

l. but the second instance in which
this dread disease has gained foot
hold on American soil in the last 20
years, during which time it has made
circuits of the globe, says the Journal
OF the American Medical Association
regarding the bubonic plague outbreak
in New Orleans. The four worldwide
epidemics of bubonic plague in pre-
vious centuries, while carrying un-
preeedented death and disaster to the
human race, did not touch the North
American continent, at that time un-
settled by civilized men and cut off
from communication with the outside
world. The announcement of bubonic
plague within our borders, if made
ten years ago, would nave caused con-
sternation and panic throughout the
country, while 100 or 800 years ago,
the disease would probably have been
unrecognized and would have smol
dered in it's characteristic fashion un-
til large number of cases and many
centers of infection had developed
Today through the knowledge given
us by scientific medicine, we know
the cause, the method of transmission
and the necessary measures for con-
trolling this dread 4black death of
history
knowledge alone, however, will
never save The knowledge must be
applied promptly and energetically.
No time must be lost in stamping out
the infection, which IN the case of
Dubonic plague, is transmitted by rats
and fleas. The prompt action Of the
authorities in New Orleans is in graf
flying contrast to the inactivity, delay
and evasion of the responsible offic
ials in San Francisco under similar
circumstances ten years ago. There
has been no hesitation, no attempt te
suppress the facts. no Indignation
over the announcement that the healtf
of the city was in danger New Or
leans has learned by years Of bite
experience with yellow fever that TEN
porizing and denial always give dis
ease more time to develop. The lc
cal health officers promptly recos
nized the disease. The state healt
