STATE CLAIMS WILSON MONEY
The $4,000 Refused by Judge PER-,
Sought by Colorado.

SooSnt ny Soioi auo
Denver-A claim will be filed by
the state for the $4,000 bequest left
by James Wilson, wealthy Denver
man, to Judge John A. Perry of the
Denver District Court
Since Judge Perry, who was appoint
ed executor Of the estate, refused to
accept the bequest the state contends
the sum should be turned over to the
state school fund.
Wilson left an estate of more than
100000. The bulk of the estate he
will to Miss Carrie Hurd. In the brief
which will be filed by Ralph Kerwin,
assistant to Attorney General Farrar,
and Leslie E. Hubbard, 1t will be ar
gued that it was the intention of Will
son that the bequest of $4,000 should
be the absolute property of Judge
Perry; that it was not meant that it
should revert to the residuary lega-
tee. Since Judge Perry refused to ac-
cept the beQuest, on the grounds that
1t would be improper for him to do so
since he was the executor of the es.
tate, it Is contended that the legacy
lapsed and became intestate property.
There are no heirs at law or next of
kin, SO the sum escheats to the state
and should be turned over to the state
school fund.

Chambers, an attractive girl, who

the rate of 5000 a month she is entitled
to $2SS,000 She alleges that Gil
crease obtained her confidence when
she was a mere girl and before she
understood the responsibilities of life.

against Gilcrease for $4,000, alleging
breach of promise and the case was
settled out Of court.

Denver.-Suits will soon be started
by Leslie E. Hubbard, state inheri-

stated at the meeting Of the State
Board of Equalization that many mil
lions of dollars worth of railroad
property in Denver was escaping taxa
tion for city purposes through the fail
ure Of city officials to make a special

At present the railroad property in

tax the great terminal properties in
this city.

The reason that some people don t
change their mind about the booze
QUESTION is that their mind is on the
wrong end of their spine.
The lowest grade of criminal in the
world is the bootlegger.
Whenever you say prohibition don t
prohibit, you are slapping your dis
trict attorney and your sheriff in the
face and telling them they are either
inefficient or in eollusion with the
liquor men.
American industry is divided into
two classes, business and charity. Busl-
ness gives service and gets legitimate
profit; charity gives a service and gets
no profit; the saloon man gives no
service but gets profit. 1t therefore
belongs to neither class.
The saloon has made the working
mans dinner pail empty and his soii
hard.

The baseball gane is the after.eon
between Red Cliff and Glenwosd
proved . very interesting feature Of
the days entertainment, especially
those who are partial to that kind of
sport.
The free swim in the pool and the
fancy swimming and diving by Mics
Mabel Fame served to draw the bulk
Of the crowd to the north side Of the
river during the afternoon. This free
swim feature is always popular with
our visitors.
The Aaypole dance by the children,
under the direction Of Miss 6tillwASoa
was . most pleasing part Of the evea-
ing entertainment and all who saw it
remarked how well the young people
acquitted themselves in this most beau
tiful dance.
The masked carnival and the dances
held in different halls completed the
days events and the people went
away, tired but happy, and praising
Glenwood as an entertainer.
On the whole the day WAS one OF
grand success. The crowd was largo
but was well distributed over the city
SO that no unpleasant congestion was
noticed and yet the merchants report
better business than ever before.
Some say their customers were not so
numerous but individual sales wee
larger than heretofore while all admit
that the financial results of the day
were highly satisfactory. Notwith-
standing the fact that the city has
more facilities for accommodating
crowds than ever before Mr.. Thorsoa
says the Hotel Glenwood turned away
prior to midnight Saturday over 100
people while the Grand hotel and the
Williams were both obliged to shut
their doors on people in search Of
lodging. Manager Lucas says this Is
the first year the Hotel Colorado has
received much benefit from strawberry
Day but this year the big hostelry was
well patronized by the attendants at
our big festival.
| So far as the Post is able to in
terpret the expression of our people
it is to the effect that the 1915 Straw
berry Day was gigantic success AMI
that the day should be perpetuated as
permanent annual affair, with probi-
bly, two days session hereafter.

Bu1a1N, BLACKSTONE AND BOOZE

Boulder, June 22.-Fifteen hundred
people rose as a man at the close of
the Rev. E. J. Bulgin's temperance
lecture last night at the Chautauqua
auditorium, and endorsed his proposal
that a Proclamation be sent to Cover
nor Carlson asking for the strict en-
forcement Of the liquor law. In stir
ring speech filled with dramatic poses,
startling statements and BILLY Sun
day maneurers, Bulgin made master
full appeal to the audience to fight
the saloon and its sister vices.
Basing his arguments on Blackstone s
definition Of law, Bulgin showed that
the liquor traffic is eonstitutionally in
herently, inalienably and naturally
wrong. He argued that the saloon had
no right to live by the common law
and called upon his hearers to judge
whether the whisky traffic was helpful
to the peaee, prosperity, happiness or
morality Of any community In a dra-
matte point, near the end of his talk,
he smashed . chair on the floor, sym
bolizing what he hoped would be done
to the liquor business.

Denver, June 22.-The announcement
of Professor Brewster that he had been
dismissed from the law school at Boul-
der because of his association and con
nection witt the strike last year caused
no surprise here. In fact it has been
generally understood that Mr.. Brew
ster would be dismissed at the end Of
this term While ON the payroll of the
state, he accepted a retainer fee as at
torney for the strikers. He appeared
before the congressional committee as
their attorrey and following this de-
livered speecnes over the state criti-
cising the state government and prac-
tically all of its branches. Recently he
was one Of the principal speakers that
was intended to influence the supreme
court to give reversal of the Laws IN
verdict Mr.. Brewster had way Of
opening hs speeches by saying he was
not a union man and could therefore
speak without being prejudiced and yet
he was perhaps the most prejudiced
speaker on miner union platform. Il
was Governor AmmOns' intention 20
have Mr. Brewster discharged before
he left the executive office because the
governor felt that Mr.. Brewster was
one of the agencies that kept up the
fight against the national guard in n
tempting to preserve order. If Mr..
Brewster is correct that he has been
fred by those in control of the unver-
sity, it IS simply because he saw fit
to criticise, abuse and try to dismant'e
the gournment from which he re-
ceived his pay as a teacher in school.
His dismissal caused no surprise and
his retention under the circumstances
would have caused very much criticism
over the state.
