COURT RULING IN COLORADO
 CASE

Can man be convicted of commit- ting a crime when his own confess sion is the only substantial and un. questionable evidence against him? Should the courts permit the adnnis. sion Of the confession of one of the parties charged with an offense when that confession is submitted as an essential part of the corpus de. licti, the body of the offending?" These questions may seem merely technical, but, as matter of fact. they are concerned with the admins tration of all those phases of our criminal law in which all the people are concerned and they will be ar gued shortly before~the state supreme court when James W. Kelley, special counsel in the case, presents the sap-. peal on error of the people of Colo rado against Ernest Roga1la and others. -.,.s.-
 Rogalla and his brothers are small stockmen and ranchmen in Morgan county, near Heyt. Archie Sandford is also a small cattleman in that dis trict. In September of last year Sandford lost one of his steers From things he observed and things he heard, Sandford concluded that the l Rogallas had killed his steer and cut it up into meat. He filed an infor- nation against the Rogallas to that effect. The case was tried recently in Fort Morgan by Judge H. P. Burke. It came out in evidence that nobody had seen any of the Rogallas
 kill the steer. None had seen the carcass after the killing But the
 ''hoofs and hide" of steer had been found in a well on the Rogalla ranch and Ernest Rogalla had formally and freely confessed 70 officers of the law that the hide and hoofs" found i in the well were those of Sandford's
 steer, and that he, Ernest Rogalla,
 had helped kill the beef
 But, when Attorney Kelley sub
 mitted- this confession of Ernest Ro-
 gala, counsel for. the other defend l ants objected to it's admission on the 1 ground that the crime charged had
 not otherwise-been proved and that
 the crime had, in effect, to be proved
 Independently of the confession be-
 fore the confession could be ad-
 lnitted. Judge Burke sustained this
 objection and directed acquittal of the
 defendants, but. he based his action,
 he said, on one Heading" Colorado decision and suggested that his de.
 cision should be appealed by Kelley to the state supreme court, in. view
 of the importance of the question. = . Great Divide.

APPROVES CO MOTIONS IN
 GLOBE MINES
Members of Local Postpone All Ac- tion Looking to the Closed Shop Is- sue. Possibility of Strike Fades National Officials and Inactive Mem bers Accredited With Defeat.

Members of the Globe local Western Federation of Miners will take no action, either now or in the immedi- ate future, toward demanding the closed shop or an increase in wages. This question was settled definitely last night at a meeting of the local union in their hall on North Broad street., A vote of members taken at the meeting resulted in indefinite post ponement of the issues. ,sa sssss.s,
 The meeting had been called for the purpose of deciding. if the Globe Miners Union should take an advisory vote on the closed shop: Action on the increased wages fhadEcnot been con templated at this time, although there was some talk of bringing up the question: A large percentage of the mem bership' attended the meeting.
 { The question put to the miners was in brief Shall this union hold an ad- ivisory election to determine if a com; naittee shall be named to treat with
 the mine managers for a closed shop and recognition? A lively battle of words between the conservative and r3ore' radical members of the union 4 preceded the balloting. The issues raised were as to the advisability o1 i disadvisabilitya of opening a breach I with the mining com panyfwhieh might
 not easily be- closed. ].
 : Two representative of the executive {; board of. the Western Federation oi z, MineFs,7 William Davidson of Denver ' and W. A. Burns, of Virginia City, Nc Ii I.yada,ssweEe, ltozaas large extent respon
 sible for the defeat of the proposed
 action. $ MT. Davidson was especially active in his endeavors to prevent thf Fprecfpitation of troubles in this dis
 trict, and for the past week, had beer .. exertfng his influence. with members
 of the Globe local.
 In addition, according to the mem
 bers of the union, the inactve mem ibership was a large factor in defeat ing the proposed action. These mem ibers, men who maintan their standin! : pay their fees, and are entitled to ]; vote at regular meetings, do not talk an especial active part in the union' affairs, and are for this reason desig mated inactive ; However, they turl out when important issues are befor
 the union. In number they far excee' the more active members, and thei weight in ballots, state representative Iof the union, was responsible for tn action taken last night.
 !, The action of the Globe union in 1T , definitely postponing action on th , closed shop, settles for time d : least the question of strike in thi
 camp. Had the advisory vote bee
 approved by the union there migh
 still have been a ground for apprt
 ihension. With the stamp of approvs
 placed on Globe working conditions b
 the miners themselves it is hardl d Likely that further agitation for was e increases, recognition or other d. f. Tmands will be pressed. d.-Glohe Recor

MIR. WALpRoM ,ENTERTAINs

MT. Waldo EuStace WaldrOm, who, at the time he first made his debut in Clifton society, was commonly known as Charlie Chaplin, owing to the resemblance. of a certain growth on his upper lip, to one cultivated and worn by Mr. Chaplin, and other anal ogous. features of these gentlemen, and who also, during the baseball season of the Copper League, was the worthy protector of the southwest bag of our diamond, and the depend able pinch hitter of the club, gave a. very enjoyable theatre party on We'd nesday evening, November 22nd, at the opening performance of Under Two Flags featuring Miss Theda Bara, at the Princess theatre.
 MT. Waldrom, although he cannot consistently and conscientiously be termed the pathological center of the Clifton social conglomerate, is con- ceived of being very popular mem- Der of the smart set and at all times by his pleasant, congenial and gen. erous personality affords prodigious amount of amusement and pleasure for his associates, and it is sincerely hoped that the rumor, wherein is stated his intention of leaving the sheltering wing of our grand U. S. A. for the fields of fortune of South America, is still within the incipient stage and that time, in cooperation with certain fair maiden of the San Francisco valley, may be able to in- duce MT. Waldrom that his future should frame itself in the land of the stars and stripes.
 Those present at the party given by Eustace were Misses Mildred Co., tey, Mildred Kelly, and Lucille Merrill, and Messrs. H. A. Ingram, c. T. | IAspelmier and w. E. Waldron. This is the first event if its kind to appear in the social editors chronological re- cord of Fall happenings and it is need less to say those. mentioned above greatly appreciate the honor bestowed upon them by MT. Waldrom.

Judge and as evidence that MT. Judge. backed by these representative men, along with his own tireleSs energy and fearless and fair manner of campaigning has brought out the point here on the heel of election day, after a long wordy and uncomplime entary joint debate in news mon, that MT. Judge is the real oppon- ent Of Blackmon, this statement is born out by paid newspaper interviews given out by Ross Blackmou to the eff feet that his brother will lead Judge 2000 votes and Judge will lead Aber- crom bic 800 votes, another evidence that the Biackmon forces are trembling on complete campaign of the district is that Mir. Hugh Roberts writing from Washington admits that MT. Judge is the man who is after Blackmon at which time he has ething to say of SuffraSettes. We presume, however, that this artful writer is taking a part ing shot at the late Dr. Abercrombie IS it is a well known fact that MT.

We feel sure that one who would do these duties in this manner would be far more would spend, as Dr. Abercromb did. his time in distant states making chautauqua speeches and the other con gressman, MT Blackmon, spending his time during recess where the people could neither see him nor hear him nor feel the effect of anything which he has ever done, other than that for special interests.
