which, he intimated, were trying to
bring about anarchy in Colorado by
the overthrow of the state constitu-
tion and the control OF Denver police
and judge.
THE liquor interests have spent =
lot OF money in an effort to defeat
and nullify the constitution of the
state" he said. Their own attorney
ADMITS that it would be Illegal. but
there are those who say they can
control the police of Denver and they
say they can control one district
judge.
"A part of their plan is, during the
time of trial. to get stay of judg-
ment and to take advantage OF the
recall section in our constitution to
nu.'.fy a part of the constitution.
III those people want a fight" ha
exclaimed, referring to the hackers Of

against anarchy and law violation.
they will find that there are those in
this state who are ready to enjoy that
fight and see to 1t that the constitu-
tion OF this state is supported
The governor was severe in his ar-
raignment of those who seek to make
the "home rule. amendment operative.
but said that he desired to distinguish
between the good people OF Denver
and the influences which he con-
demned. so as to not to cast any re-
Election on the city as whole"
"I am here to assure you" he
said. THAT in 1916. when the time
comes for that law which you people
put on the statute books, making Colo

It will be enforced Independently of

DARK HORSE FOR PRESIDENT.
Presidents Statement Sent to Villa,
Carranza. Zapata and Gaia.

Washington, June 3.-In his state
ment to the American people, Presi-
dent Wilson served notice on the fac
tional leaders. of Mexico that unless
within "a very short time" they unite
to set up government which the
world can recognize. the United States
will be constrained to decide what
means should be employed by the
United States in order to help Mexico
save herself and serve her people"
Signalling change from the
"watchful waiting" policy. which has
guided relations with Mexico for more
than two years, the Presidents state
ment was regarded everywhere in of
ficial and diplomatic quarters as no.
tice of a new and vigorous policy to
restore peace below the Rio Grande
Everywhere 1t was interpreted as
warning that the patience of the
United States is exhausted. What
steps the President is prepared to
take II this warning goes unheeded
are not disclosed In the statement In
high official quarters, nevertheless, no
doubt existed that he Is prepared to
proceed.
That the United States will have to
select Mexico's "man OF iron" was the
opinion expressed by the officials
here most familiar with the situation
south of the Rio Grande.
Not only in official quarters. but
among diplomats familiar with the am
bitions of the men now in the saddle
in Mexico, did this belief find utter
ince. They declared that under the
words of the President himself there
is nothing left for him to do II the
factions prove obdurate. but to se-
lect a man or men who will lead Mex
ico's millions into prosperous condt
tions.

AMBASSADOR IMPRE ED AT

REPORT TO GERMANY.

PRESIDENT DEMANDS ATTACKS

western Newspaper linton NV. service.

Western Newspaper linton N-ws Service.
Bernstorff. the German ambassador to
the United States, is preparing re-,
port to his government that probably
will give Berlin its first true impress
sion of the determination of the Unit
ed States to insist upon its demand
that the attacks of submarines on un-
armed passenger ships in violation of
international law cease at once.
The ambassador conferred with
President Wilson in the blue room of
the white house and as the talk was
stripped of the necessity of diplomatic
language, the President, 1t is under
stood, was able to make plain to the
German envoy that the American gov
ernment has not the slightest inten-
tion of being side-trscked from the
consideration OF its demands, made
lin the name of all humanity" May 13.
President Wilson emphasized, in his
talk with Count Won Bernstorff. the
intense feeling of tn American people
over the sinking of the Lusitania and
other violations of American rights on
the high seas. and impressed upon him
that the United States must insist on
an adherence by Germany to the ac-
cepted principles of international law,
as they affect neutrals.
No announcements were made after
the conference, which had been ar
ranged at the ambassadors request,
but it was stated authoritatively that
there would be no change in the plan
of the President and his Cabinet to
send, in response to the German reply
to the last American note. an inquiry
to ascertain definitely whether the i'm
perial government will abide by inter
national law. or follow its own rules
of maritime warfare.
Count Won Bernstorff believed the
report which he prepared for trans
mission to Berlin would enlighten the
German foreign office on the true
state of the American governments s
opinion and pave the way to better
understanding.

A DosprOOf Fence.

Specifications for the dogproof
felse.
Posts 71s feet In length, set az feet
in the ground and Is feet apart; a
barbed wire stretched fat to the sur
face of the ground; inches higher a
36-inch woyen-wire fence having a
finch triangular mesh; inches
higher barbed wire; s inches higher
second barbed wire; z inches above
this third barbed wire. Total height,
81 inches.
Fences OF this kind have turned
aside coyotes in the West, and any
fence that will turn q coyote should
turn dog. It is important, however,
to remember that the bottom strand
of barbed wire must be fat upon the
ground. even il grading and filling up
holes is necessary to accomplish this.
BY feeding sheep ON forage crops the
area to be fenced can be much dimin-
ished. Moreover, dogs rarely attack
sheep in the daytime. SO that If the
farmer does not care to incur the ex-
pense Of fencing large area he may
content himself with a small Enclosure
into which the sheep may be driven Al
night.

Berlin.-The blame for the sinking
Of the Lusitania is placed upon the
ship owners by the Germans. The fol-
lowing official communication was is
sued Saturday night, May 8;
The Cunard liner Lusitania was
yesterday torpedoed by German sub
marine and sunk.
The Lusitania was naturally armed
with guns, as were recently most Of
the English mercantile steamers.
Moreover, as is well known here. she
had large quantities of war material
In her cargo.
Her owners, therefore. knew to
what danger the passengers were ex-
posed. They alone bear all the re-
sponsibility for what has happened
Germany, ON her part, left nothing
undone to warn them repeatedly and
strongly. The imperial ambassador in
Washington even went so far as to
make public warning SO as to draw
attention to this danger. The English
press sneered then at this warning
and relied on the protection of the
English feet to safeguard Atlantic
traffic"
