DIVORCED WIFE

Mrs, John W, Springer Be-

'Hf hoRHNV JpbHSAL bfHCtAL LRAHHD WiRNl
Denver, April 20.--Mrs. John w
Springer, divorced wife of the Denver
banker and capitalist, once a society
leader and called the "most beautiful
woman in Colorado" died last night
In a pauper's hospital on BlaCkwell's $
island, New York city, alone save for
one friend who had remained true to
her, according to advices received
here. Because Of Mrs. Springer two
men are dead and one is serving a life
sentence in the state penitentlary at
Canon City, Colo.
Mrs. Springer had been married
two years when in 1911 Sylvester Won
Publ and George f. Copeland were
killed by Harold f. Henwood in a
local hotel in a discussion of Mrs.
Springer. Following this Mr.. Springer
sued for divorce and Mrs Springer
was granted 5000 and went to New
York.
Little was heard of Mrs. Springer

Cattle and Sheep
In Northern States
Killed by Storms

Washington, April 20. -- Severe
weather is causing heavy losses
among cattle and sheep in the north
ern Rocy mountain region, according
to reports to the forestry service.
The loss of sheep in Wyoming, Mon
tana, Idaho, Utah and Nevada will be
unusually heavy and may reach 20
per cent, it was said today. Sheep
generally are reported in poor condi-
tion and a light lamb and wool crop
is predicted.
Heavy cattle losses are in prospect
in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and
stockmen fear that short grain and
hay supplies will mean the death of
many more animals before warm
weather,
In the Pacific coast states and in
the southwest the situation is said to
be much better.
National forest supervisors have
been directed to open all preserves to
livestock earlier this year than usual.

ceived at the rate of approximately
1000 day.
Where Reports Are Made.
To dispel apparent confusion in the
public mind it was stated at the de-
partment of justice that the president
had delegated to that department the
full enforcement of the terms of his
proclamation regarding alien enemies.
Patriotic citizens desiring to place
at the governments disposal informa-
ton which they believed may aid in
ferreting out the activities of Ger
many's agents, should communicate
with the department of justice offic-
ials. Such communications, it is ex-
planned, will be treated as confiden-
tial
Investigations Under Way.
Investigation of the recent explo-
sion at the Eddystone munitions plant
near Philadelphia which resulted in
the death of more than 100 persons,
and of the recent fire at Minneapolis
which resulted in the loss of hundreds
of thousands of bushels of grain, is
proceeding but has not reached a
stage, it is said, where announcement
as to the findings can be made.
Thus far, it was said, the strict sur
veillance maintained over persons
known to be of pro- German sympathy
has revealed a tendency to observe
the law more generally than the de-
partment had anticipated.

Washington, April 20.-Approxi-
mately 5000 German residents of the
United States are under close surveil-
lance, department of justice officials
announced today, because of their ac-
tivities in behalf of the German gov
eminent before Americas entry into
the war or because of their pro- Ger
man sympathies.
The departments field force of in
vestigators, grown~to formidable pro-
portions, is keeping so close watch
upon the small army of suspects that
it would be possible, it is authorita-
lively stated, to arrest virtually every
man under suspicion within twenty
four hours. The suspects are living
in every state in the union.
Big Force at Work.
In addition to the 100000 civilian
employees on the governments pay roll
in all departments, actively engaged
in reporting information to the bu-
reau. all sheriffs and their deputies
throughout the country, Attorney
General Gregory said tonight, are re-
porting information which may aid in
detecting and apprehending persons
working in this country against the
interests of the United States.
Patriotic organizations and many
other civilian societies also have Of
fered their aid. Letters from auxiliary
sources to the bureau are being re-
