of this country, favors the extension or the suffrage to women, but recognizes the right of each state to settle ths question for itself.
 As the pendulum swung first one way and then another, gloom or Jubliation reigned in the ranks of the women, who through rain and wind earned tnelr piea to the convention yesterday.
 The adverse news that five of the sub committee of the republican resolutions committee had voted against recognition of woman suffrage in the platform ana four had favored it. came early in the day. There was hurried marshalllnS of the friends of suffrage and three hours later the resolutions committee as a whole voted 26 to 21 in favor of rec ognizing the principle of suffrage
 The jubilation was short-lived. for, within half an hour word came that the roll of absentees had been called ana seven committeeman were hastening to the committee room that the favorable action might be reconsidered.
 REPEATED PARLEYS
 Friends of suffrage on the committee were bombarded with entreaties to stand firm as one after another the absentees took their placesH There were repeated parleys, recess for luncheon and finally reconsideration was agreed to ana IL
  lican platform with the principle of wom- an suffrage internationally favored, but with the modification that the party rec ognizes the right of each state to settle the question for itself.
 The final vote in the committee on the declaration as agreed upon was oo for and Il against.
 In the subcommittee those opposing votes for women were Senators Lodge, Wadsworth and Oliver, Charles Hopkins Clark and former Representative How land of Ohio. Those who favored the plea for recognition were Senators Bo- rah Sutherland and Fall and Represen- tative Madden of Illinois. In the fuil committee Senator Borah was the leader for the women's plea and Senator Smoot took a prominent part in the negotiations for an agreement which led to the final action.
 Credit for preventing flat rejection of the plank on reconsideration by the com mittee was given to Senator Borah, who declared that the question would be taken to the convention floor if the committee vote were overridden. This stand, it was declared. forced stay of the move- ment to overturn the recognition and the modification recognizing the right of the individual states to decide on the fran chise within their borders was evolved.
 In the rival suffrage camps the an nouncement of the plank was received with opposite emotions. Officers of the National Association for Woman Suf- frage expressed their entire satisfaction. Officers of the new woman's party were plainly disappointed.

theatre yesterday before Commissioner Arlie Barber credit for putting over a very clever advertising stunt should be given Bob Murphy, that astute artist. The impression was gotten out that Where Are My Children was extremely naughty, and the sanction of the city commission was sought before the public showing. Well, for the benefit of the curious, Where Are My Children" is an extremely tame picture as far as naughtiness is con- cerned. It could be shown in Sun day school and not cause a ripple of excitement. However, the children will not see this feature as MT. Bar Der stated that only adults should see it. This is a mistake, as in this modern age the children know more about delicate subjects than the adults. THE SPELL OF THE YUKON"
 Edmund Breeze, a well known figure on the dramatic stage, is the star of The Spell of the Yukon, picturi- zation of the famous poem of Robert Services, by the Metro company. "The Spell of Yukon will be shown at the Rialto theatre today and its pre- sentation is eagerly awaited by those who enoyed the virility of the Service verses.
 NOT GUILTY.''
 Cyril Scott is the featured star of the Equitable production, Not Guilty" at the Trianon theatre today. Not Guilty is a pictorial attack on circumstantial evidence, and the picture attempts to portray the injus- tice that is worked upon individuals by convictions in the courts on other than positive evidence. It is an interesting picture that presents an interesting problem.

EXCELLENT COMMITTEE.

Glenwood has begun to make pre-
parations for her annual Strawberry
Day festival, the date of which has
been fixed for Saturday, June II. At
"a meeting held at the council chambers
last Tuesday evening initial arrange
ments were made and an executive
committee appointed to have charge Of
all details in connection with the af-
fair.
Mayor Thorson presided over the
meeting and John R. Weir was made
secretary. Our citizens were present
in goodly numbers and free discus
sion of the matter brought out the fact
that all were enthusiastically in favor
of perpetuating this festival which has
proven the most successful local enter
tainment day held anywhere in the
state.
Not only has it been means of gay
ETY. and entertainment to the residents
of Glenwood and the entire county,
bringing the people together in social
fashion but it has proved reasonably
profitable to Glenwood in a commercial
way, besides attracting considerable
attention to this famous resort from
all portions cf the state and other
states, also, and thus proving of no
e. nl, -
viewpoint. !.
At the meeting Tuesaxy evening
some discussion. came up concerning
the application Of a stFset carnival
outfit which has applied for concessions
here at that time. The company made
an offer of liberal percentage Of
their gross receipts to the committee in
case they be given license for Straw
berry day. The proposition was nos
considered favorably by those present
and their offer was rejected.
Mayor Thorson, who as chairman Of
the general committee was largely in
strumental in making Of last years
festival an unqualified suetess, was
retained in the same position and John
Weir was made secretary. Mr. Thorson
named the following executive commit
tee to look after all details of the work
in connection with making = success Of
the event: Louis Schwarz, B. T. Napies,
G. R. Mccarthy, H. G. Overlook, Carle-
ton Hubbard and H. R. Logan.

employees after Mr.. Rockefeller's visit
to Colorado last fall, the company is
providing additional bath and clut
houses. Mr.. Rockefeller personally
agreed to erect an emergency hospital
at the coal camp at Primero, Colo. and
at the iron mining camp at Sunrise,
Wyoming.
Considerable care has been devote
to the design of the new Catholic
church to be erected at Berwind, for it
is expected to serve as type for
church buildings in other camps. The
plan evolved was that of Spanish
Mission type of building, constructed
of cement blocks and covered with
white stucco. 1t is contemplated that
in every mining camp the church build
ings shall be the dominating structures,
both in location and architectural treat
ment. 1t is believed that the influence
for good exerted by the churches will
be enhanced if the structures are both
dignified and simple. For the Protest
ant churches there will be selected a
different design from that sdo1ted for
the Catholic church edifices, tl.rgh one
equally pleasing and appropriate.

quet Of the Hamilton club. Among the
speakers were. Senator wsstsu g., Hard.

Senator Harding, responding to the
toast, "Looking Forward, ~ extolled

said: .Est..

cry essential remains, even the inspir-
ing name, there is every assurance Of
the concord of leadership and more sig
nificant still there is the unmistakable
readiness of the people to pledge them
selves anew to the Republican faith. :"
Although Senator Harding's address
was not formally labeled "keynote,"
his hearers regarded it as at least a
peek through the keyhole. In the
course of his address he said:
"The political situation.is unmatched
in all our history. Thereris a marked
desire for Republican restoration for
our industrial sake as when the Ameri-

mature and he was not entitled to the
office by virtue of that appointment.
Later charges were filed with the
civil service commission against Mr.
Capp by resident of Chaffee county.
These charges were heard by the civil
service commission appointed under the
new act and resulted in "whitewash "
for Mr.. Capp by two of the members
of the commission, while the other
member, who appears to have been
wholly disinterested, could come to no
conclusion other than that Mr.. Capp
was guilty of the charges as preferred
and should be removed. 1t may be said
in this connection that one of the COM
missioners who upheld Mr.. Capp had
appeared as his attorney in the litiga-
tion above referred to.
After an examination of the reports
made by the different members of the
civil service commission and careful
review by him of the evidence taken
by them and upon receipt of certain
information given. him as to the niss,
management Of tho reformatory under
Mr.. Capp's administration, the Cover
nor, acting upon the assumption that the
1915 law was in effect, preferred car
tain charges against Mr.. Capp and no.
titled him to appear at the executive
Office to make such defense as he might
have to the charges. This Mr.. Capp
declined to do and the governor at an
open hearing examined witnesses and
reviewed the testimony taken by the
civil service commission and came. TO-
the conclusion that Mr.. Capp should be
removed for his incompetency in Office.
He theredpon notified MT. Capp Of his
removal and appointed R.. L. Shaw as
his successor. The principal reasons
given by the governor, in making this
removal were that it was apparent that
Capp could not maintain order in the
reformatory without the use Of Lash,
the use Of which in many instances re.
suited in serious injury to the inmates;
that under his management there had
been many times the number Of escapes
