THE cowardly character assassin
who recently sent postal cards all over
the state making personal attack on
Governor Carlson is menace to good
citizenship and about as despicable as
the fellow who would slip up to your
door in the still of the night and ex-
plode a bomb at the portal of your
bedchamber. Doubtless the person
guilty of such an outrage is either a
booze fiend who is peeved at Governor
Carlson's efforts in behalf of better
Colorado manhood or else he is tim
horn politician, unworthy Of political
recognition, but angry at the governor
because he refuses to be controlled in
his political conduct by such political
anarchists as the sender Of the anony-
nous postcard We don't wonder that
the poor, deluded simp neglected to
sign his name. It is well that he did.

HARVEY PREDICTS
HUGHES ELECTION

New York, Oct. 3O.-Four years ago
Col. George Harvey guessed wrong as
to only one state in his election fore
cast. In 1908 he was only seventeen
electoral votes out of the way, and in
1904 only twenty-five. In April Of the
present year, before a single state had
indicated a preference for the nominee,
he closed an analysis of the political
situation, under the heading "Nobody
for Hughes but the People," with the
positive prediction that. "Rightly or
wrongly, wisely or not, the will of the
people will prevail, and Charles Evans
Hughes will be the next Republican
candidate for president of the United
States.''
In the North American Review, pub
lished today, Colonel Harvey predicts
the election of Hughes as certain. It
details as follows: .-r

FRENCH WIN IN GREAT
DRIVE IN VERDUN REGION
Village of FIeury Retaken in Three
Days Fight-Berin Admits
Some Losses.

London, Aug. 5.-The battle which
has been raging on the Verdun front
for three days turned in favor of the
French on Thursday. with the greatest
single victory for their arms chronicled
at that point since the temporary re-
capture of Fort Douamont nearly two
months ago. AS the result of the
days fighting the entire village or
Fleury is again in, French hands as
we'll as the whole system Of trenches
from Thiaumont to the village and ex-
tending as far as Hill 800. Berlin adj
mitted the advance of the French on
large portion Of this front.
The French victory, which was won
on a line from a point half a mile
north of Fort Souville nOrthwesterly
to Thiaumont. which lies almost due
north of Verdun itself, is of meal
culable value to the French defense.
BY the gain the pressure upon Fort
Souville is greatly relieved.

MAKE BIG GUNS ABSOLETE
Western Inventor Devises an Aerial
Torpedo That Gives Promise
of Effectiveness.

What may eventually prove to be a
highly effective war implement, and. if
so, possibly render present heavy ar
tillery obsolete for long range opera
tons, is a self-controlled aerial tor
pedo that has lately been developed in
Colorado. 1t is described in the Au-
gust number Of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In a general way, the in
strument attempts to accomplish over
land what the. United States navy's
new wireless torpedo does at sea. Its
principle and method of operation, of
course, are entirely different. AS is
to be inferred, 1t consists of small
aircraft-much like an ordinary BIZ
plane-carrying large, high-explosive
torpedo which it is designed to drop
at any predetermined spot within a
certain radius. The projectile, which
is about twelve feet in length, forms
the body of the machine and is divided
into two compartments. The propel-
Ter is mounted at the front end of it,
while the shaft extends through the
entire torpedo to the rear compart-
ment where. an 1S-horsepower motor
is housed. The speed and course of
the machine are regulated by means of
a gyrOscopic mechanism, while a tim
ing device of some sort releases the
engine containing missile at the prop
err instant for it to strike it's target.

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING BUS
Natives of Solomon Island Take Al
vantage of War to Gather
Trophies.

At first sight there does not seem
to be very close connection between
the war in Europe and head hunting
in the Solomon islands. Nevertheless,
the one arises from the other.
Previous to the outbreak of the
war, according to Vancouver Worlds
Sydney IN. S. W. correspondent, Brit
ish, and occasionally German war;
ships patrolled the islands and en-
deavored 10 keep down cannibalism
among the natives who are largely of
Papuan or Malaysian stock. How
ever, the requirements for the trans
port of troops led to the recall of the
British warships-and the happy head
hunter has been free to follow his own
devious courses.
In one raid made by mountain
tribe upon a small village near the
coast no less than 26 heads were Sc
cured. No punishment followed be-
cause the whites were unable to or
ganiZe in time. AS consequence
the raids are growing more dangerous,
and although as yet, no Europeans
have been attacked. planters have con-
Stantly to keep on their guard.

NEW YORK CAR
STRIKE IS ENDED
Settlement of Trouble Reported
by Mayor.
81" MEN ARE GIVEN RAISE
Workers Granted Increase In Wages of
One Dollar Day-Poiice
Charge Crowd Who Stoned
Nonunion Men.

New York, Aug. 8.-Settlement of
the street car strike, which resulted
again on Sunday in complete sllspen-
sion of surface car traffic in all the
boroughs of greater New York except
Brooklyn, was announced by Mayor j.
p. Mitchell.
The announcement came after a
number of conferences, Initiated by
Mayor Mitchell, with the cooperation
of Oscar S. Straus.
The men returned to work and serv-
ice was resumed on the entire system.
The Interborough Rapid Transit
company announced that all it's en-
600, will receive ST per day extra pay
until further notice. Traffic in the sub
way and on the elevated railway lines,
which are controlled by the Inter-
borough, has been heavily increased by
the disturbed conditions on the surface
roads.
The most serious demonstration
came when police reserves charged a
crowd of strike sympathizers, said to
have numbered at least 1000, who
were bombarding a street car with
stones and attempting to rescue pris-
oner from a patrolman. Women and
children hurled missiles from tenement
house roofs. Police reserves arrived
and cleared not only the street but the
roofs as well.
The police officials assigned two men
to a car on some lines. The strike
lasted two days.

BANDITS ESCAPE
WITH $4,000
Five Men Hold Up Pay Car in
Detroit.
FLEE FROM CITY IN AUTO
Bold Highwaymen, Who Robbed EN-
ployees of the Burroughs Adding
Machine Company, Are Pur-
sued by Posse.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. Five despe-
radoes. armed with revolvers and rifles,
held up and robbed the pay car of the
Burroughs Adding Machine company
on Friday within full view of hundreds
of persons in the street and escaped
with $37. 900 in cash. Rudolph Cooper.
one of the Burroughs guards. was shot
and seriously wounded.
One of the bandits is believed to be
Clyde Stratton, who escaped Sunday
night from Joliet penitentiary.
The bandits escaped in an automo-
bile and at last reports were driving
toward the open country to the north,
pursued closely by another car, while
several police cars were trailing. Coun-
try officers from out in the state are
rushing toward the band.
Police headquarters have received
no word from the police chasing the
Burroughs bandits since five o'clock,
when residents of Now, IS miles north
west, telephoned that they had seen a
car containing five men going at full
speed to the north, closely followed by
another car with two passengers.
The robbery was the boldest crime
of it's kind in the history of Detroit.
1T occurred on Burroughs avenue, be-
tween Woodward and Cass avenues.
Hundreds of employees of the Cadillac
Automobile company saw the hOldup.
The pay car containing the paymas-
ter, Thomas Sheehan, was returning
TO the Burroughs plant from local
bank, and it was followed by another
car carrying armed guards. The
guards said they were delayed in the
defense of the pay car by the idea that
the holdup was part of motion pic
ture, and they did not attempt to in
terfere until it was too late.
AS the pay car was passing the side
of the Cadillac plant on Burroughs
avenue a touring car drew up along
side and q man stepped out and or
dered the driver and paymaster to
hold up their hands.
Rudolph Cooper, the driver, crap
pied with the bandit, and by the time
he had been overcome the guards
drove up from behind and were met
by four shots fired from Winchesters
by the robbers. One of the bullets en-
tered COoper's hip. The men then
seized five of the six cash boxes.
