l. b. Melville to Build $4,000
HOusa

Apartment House.
|. b. Melville, brother of Mrs. o.
f. Boyle, and former Durango resi-
dent, is planning to build an $4,000
apartment house in Denver, accord
ing to the Post. 1t is to be located
on Sherman street between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth avenues. Work will
begin in few weeks and it is ex-
pected it will be completed by Sep
tember 1. There will be thirty-six
three, four or five-room apartments
in the place, each of which will have
a large sleeping porch and balcony.
The building will be designed in the
Spanish type, and will have cement
plastered walls and tile roof. The
main entrance, which will be on Sher-
man street, will be through a wide
patio or open court.
Yesterday was big day at the
union tabernacle, the crowds and the
interest in the meetings surprising
anything yet seen there. In the MORN
ing the big tabernacle was comfort
ably filed and in the evening it was
crowded. The special music was of
a high order and many favorable
comments upon it We're heard. Rev.
Pratt preached powerful sermons that
moved many to make decision for
higher and better living. He urged
very strongly that all who had been
church members elsewhere should be-
come members here in church of
their choice and become active. Many
responses were secured. There was
a good attendance at the women's
meeting at the Baptist church which
was addressed by Mrs. Brison. and at
the mems meeting addressed by Rev
Pratt. His topic was christianity
An Asset" He said that Christian
ity made for strong moral character
which all good business men agree is
the greatest asset. Mr.. Morgan testi-
fled before a finance committee that
he knew men with no means but of
good character to whom he would
loan million whereas there were men
with millions to whom he would not
loan cent. Christianity makes for
honesty. Not all church members are
honest, but there are counterfeits of
all good things. Money Is counter
feited because its value is UNIVERSAL
ly recognized. He scored church men,
bers who can and will not pay their
debts, saying that man had as well
break into a store with jimmy and
steal fifty dollars worth Of goods as
to get them on credit with little in
ttntion of paying for them. He told
Of how the missionaries were acknowl-
edged by all big business men to be
the forerunners of business. They
create demand for better things
among the people with whom they
work Christianity makes for better
homes, schools, public enterprise of
all sorts and is the greatest asset of
any city, or country. In the mind OF
the evangelist Durango and southern
Colorado have greater future than
ony section of Colorado. He was for
merly member of the Kansas City
Commercial club and possesses good
business judgment

WHAT OF GEO. BADDERS
Federal Court Officials Are Looking
to the Highest Tribunal for
an Answer.

Federal court officials are looking
for word in the criminal action against
George Badders that will determine
whether or not he is to have new
trial. If the new trial is not granted
Badders is scheduled to begin serving
his seven-year sentence in the federal
penitentiary.
Badders is now located at Wichita,
handling an automobile agency. He
spent two days in Kansas City recent
ly talking over his case with Fred
Robertson, United States district at
torney. Mr.. Robertson is not inclined
to make any recommendations in the
case. Instead, he will prosecute it if
a new trial is granted and if it is not
granted will allow the law to take its
course. The application for the new
trial is in the hands of the higher
court and action upon it is expected
almost any time
