Denver, Jan. 31.-Will Tom lyman
implacable foe of capital punishment
be called upon to hang seven mer
during the year of 1915?
The question brings q shudder tc
lyman, warden of the penitentiary al
Canon City. If he is forced to &C
through the ordeal it will be with the
enthusiasm and the demeanor of a
reluctant Stole. 1t is up to him,
though, for seven men are scheduled
to hang, unless the supreme court
says no.
Did he not feel that he was but in
the beginning of his great work of
reformation in prison methods, Thorn
as lyman would probably give up the
important place he holds rather than
send seven more of his fellow beings
into eternity.
Four of these men, Hillen, Cook,
Bulger and Quinn hail from Denver.
The other three are from other parts
Of the state. All seven have their
cases before the supreme court of the
state on appeal, and, pending decision,
their executions will De stayed. If
Hillen loses he will be the first to be
hanged.
Warden lyman says that he has no
intention of suggesting public hang
ing bee, similar to that ordered by the
governor of Arizona, just because sew
en- Colorado men are to be executed.
He does believe, though, that If the
public demands the taking of life for
life the hangings should be in public
to gain the doubtful ends of such
methods of punishment.
The Colorado official at the peniten-
tiary, hoping that Colorado will soon
repent and abolish capital punishment
by the statute book route, says that
he will OBEY the law and put these
seven men to death when the court
says so.
He is merely to do his duty as an
official, he says. He took the oath to
obey the law, and if part Of that oath
forces the snuffing out of lives, he will
do it under that oath.
Tynan's hatred of inf1icting the
death penalty on human beings is in
herent. He believes that there is latent
good in every human being, and that
the vast majority of men, if given
chance, will become good citizens, or
at least be Of some considerable SER
vice to the state while they are it's
forced wards.

STATEMENT BY
AUSTRIAN OFFICE
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Vienna, Via Amsterdam and Lon
don, Jan. 31.--An official communica-
ton issued by the Austrian general
staff says:
1.-The present phase Of the war in
Galicia is proceeding favorably for US.
The attempts of the Russian Cali
clan army to outflank Archduke Jo-
seph Ferdinand's army near Nowy
Sandec and attack Cracow via Tar
now, have led to a counter offensive
by the archduke against Tarnow,
which threatenes the rearward commu-
nications of the Russians in Falacia
and the Carpathians.
Equally ineffective was the Russian
invasion Of Hungary and the attempt
to invade Transylvania from Buko-
wilma in order to isolate General
F'ischers army and outflank our Car
'pathian forces.
TN the north the German trenches
are approaching the forts of Warsaw
and we are also gaining ground in the
Carpathians.
TN Buckowina the enemy has re-
treated to Kimpolang after General
Fischers victory near Kirlibaba."

BELG|ANS MUST

POSSIBLE ELSE THEY ARE IN
DANGER OF BECOMING PAuPER-
lied.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

The Hague. jan 31.-The Rockefeller
Commission for the relief of Belgians
has had little success in convincing
Belgians that the only thing for their
country is the repatriation of all refu-
gees as fast as possible.
The Rockefeller Investigators reason
entirely on economic and social
grounds. Belgians, they say, must re-
build their homes and become self
supporting as soon as possible else
they will become pauperized for all
time and lose their habits of industry.
In reply, the Belgians charge that to
return would be to acquiesce in German
rule and it is more important that they
should starve in the ultimate hope of
driving out the invaders than that they
should raise food and manufacture
supplies for the German army and pay
taxes to support both the German civil
and military administrations. To re-
turn, they say. would not be to work
for themselves but for the benefit, poll
itical and economic, of the Germans

Some time since the little girl was

joyed ride, the day before she sue

Since the closing of the Dardanelles

it is sharing the advantage Of being

Legality of Appointment OF
Labor Inspector is Questioned

abolishing the old position of State
Child Labor Inspector and. re-creat-
ing a new position with the same
title, same salary, etc.
when this possible technical con-
struction of minor amendments made
at the last session of the Legislature
was brought to my attention, l. of
course, Immediately asked the attor-
ney-general for his Interpretation
The technicality seems 10 arise out of
the fact that the Legislature recently
adopted the practice with respect to
amendments of first repeating the
clause affected, even If only one word
is to be changed in the clause, and
Immediately thereupOn replacing il
without lapse of time by the new
clause in the amended form.
81 am told that heretofore our leg
islative practice was TO make amend
ments by striking out the words to be
changed and replacing such words by
the amended phraseOlogy instead of
completely replacing an old clause by
a new one. This question seems TO
have raised an entirely new point as
affecting practices in the State and
the attorney-general has been actively
engaged in studying the problem the
past fOrty-eight hours. As the
public is entitled to all information
on such matters, | very gladly present
the issue as far as the commission
knows il at this moment"
