Denver-A petition for a referen-
dunn of Senate Bill No. 80, the law
providing penalties for violation for
the prohibition amendment to the
state constitution is nov being circu
lated in Denver. If sufficient sigma.
lures are obtained, its presentation to
the secretary of state will probably re-

penalty bill would prevent the meas
ure from. becoming operative and eff
fective until vote on the referendum
was had by the people at the next
general election, a year from next

A circular attached to the referen-
dunn petition being circulated in sub
stance says that the law allows drug
gists to sell liquor; that outside liquor
dealers are allowed to distribute their
| products in Colorado; that the law
prevents the keeping of Colorado
money at home, and that it prohibits
the people from determining the kind
of law they wish to govern.

In New York recently Booker Wash
ington gave this sound suggestion to
his people:
Settle down and get identified with
some one place. Then build up there
regulations for sobriety and industry.
If you can't find the right place in the
city, go to small town near by. or
get back to the soil. At any rate, set
tie down and get hold of some proper
ty and start a bank account You will
soon find that your savings are grow
ing and that you are growing faster
and bigger than the bank account"

Canon City, Colo, June 25.-Harry
Hillen, Denver hoy bandit" slayer of
Thomas, Chase in October, 1913, last
night took the step on the gallows
drop that ended his life. A career of
lawlessness, marked by half a hun
dred crimes, was closed when he
walked upon the little square plat
form in the state penitentiary death
chamber; moment later he was
dangling from the end of a rope He
was pronounced dead at 1890 o'clock
Blamed Deed on Companions.
Until the final minute of his life
Hillen maintained his innocence of the
murder of Chase in Denver a year and
half ago. He blamed that deed upon
two companions, youths who had
helped, him in other crimes to which
he confessed to the Denver police.
The last hour of Hillen's life began
with the assembling of witnesses and
officials in the penitentiary The
slayer had made his spiritual peace
earlier in the day, with ministrations
by Prison Chaplain Blake and the
Rev. c. P. Ilsley, a Baptist pastor.
His sister, Miss Irene Hillen, had
spent most of the day with him. bring
governor had refused to interfere in
the case.
His spiritual adviser, Chaplain
Blake and the Rev. Mr. Ilsey, stepped
forward, and in tones audible only to
the man between them. commended
his soul to his Maker. Their rites per-
formed, they retired.
Then the black cap-and from the
group came shudders. Heads were
averted and remained so until the end.
In twinkling the guards had hob
bled the prisoner, leaving him just
enough foot freedom to step backward
once more. His arms and wrists were
fastened to his sides and the guards
adjusted the knot carefully and then
they stepped back. A low word of
command was given from some one in
uniform and, obedient though he knew
it was fatal, Hillen took the step. He
felt the little platform sink slowly and
he braced himself rigidly.
The platforms sinking released an
S00-pound weight in a side room. The
weight fell carrying with it the other
end of the rope which was stretched
over a series of pulleys.
The prison physician. DR.. Hart Good
loe. stepped forward and examined the
pulse. Shortly he pronounced Harry
Hillen dead.
Message BY Sister.
When Hillen received a message
from his sister in Denver saying she
had been unable to obtain the COVER
nor's clemency, he seemed unmoved
by the tidings.
Il hardly expected anything else,
he said, with the same air of calm
that had characterized him through
his battle against the law
Secrecy as great as that preceding
the hanging was maintained afterward
by those who had seen it. Witnesses
evaded questions by saying they were
not permitted to discuss the affair.

much for HIM His recent editorial
entitled "Dsproportionat approprla-

ally none of his items enumerated are
correct Norwich for instance is cred
tied with having received an approp-
ration of $4,000 and the other insti-
tutions are also given generous sums
by the Heralds editor. As a matter
of fact Norwich received an appropria-
ton altogether of $4,000 instead of
$4,000 The unfortunate part Of the
thing is that the editorial has been
copied in other papers and many who
have failed to inform themselves cor
rectly, will believe the figures given
