GIenwoOd Excursionists High
y Enjoyed Hospitality Of
Cloud City People
IS HAPPY

That booster excursion to Leadviiie
last Tuesday was humdinger and no
mistake. The threatening condition of
the weather in Glenwood and the re-
port that the ground was covered with
snow in Leadville deferred many who
would otherwise have made the trip.
The crowd was accompanied by the
Glenwood band which furnished plenty
of music throughout the trip.
The special Rio Grande train was
met by the Leadville people who es-
corted their visitors up town in autos.
The reception to the visitors and the
hospitality of the Leadville people
throughout the visit made a deep and
lasting impression on our people AMI
this trip will always be referred to as
one of the bright spots in their lives.
Some of those among the visitors to
the big mining camp thus expressed
themselves when interviewed by the
Post:
Senator Napier.-The Leadville peo-
pie treated us like princes. Met us at
depot with about 40 utomobiles-maEy
more than we needed. The banquet
room in Odd Fellows hall was decorat-
ed in most exquisite taste. The Lead
vile folks greatly appreciated our visit
and we surely enjoyed their hospitality
and l think it was one Of the pleas
ATTEST and most profitable excursions
we ever made out of Glenwood. I am
sure the trip will be worth a great deal
to Glenwood by way of cementing
anew the bonds of friendship between
this city and Leadville and am equal.
ly certain that all of our people thor
oughly enjoyed the trip from start 20
finish and especially the opportunity
to mingle with the Leadville people and
partake of their genial hospitality.
J. M. Silver.-Just say anything you
please for me, provided it is highly
Complimentary to those Leadville folks,
and I will endorse it. You can't poss-
bly, make it too strong for they GER
tainly deserve all the praise we can
give them. I never saw people more
energetic in their efforts to give their
visitors pleasant time. I was espec.
tally disappointed that so few of our
ladies Joined the excursion, particularly
after I viewed the elaborately deco
rated banquet hall prepared for lady
visitors at the Odd Fellows hall. Too
much praise cannot be give the Lead
vile ladies for their part in the en-
tertaihment program.
Mayor Kirwan.-They certainly gave
us splendid reception and one that We
shall long remember. The greatest re-
gret I have in connection with the
affair is that SO few Of the ladies cf
Glenwood availed themselves Of this
splendid treat. The ladies' banquet
room was beautifully decorated and the

WEIGH HELD
 ON ROBBERY COMPLAIN IS

A bench warrant for the arrest of Henry w. Welch on the charge of robbery was issued by Judge Reed of the criminal superior court this after noon at the request of States Attorney Homer s. Cummings. Welch has been held in the custody of County Sheriff Peace since yesterday when he was ac- quilted of the charge of murder1ng Nathan Garon. Tn addition to the charge of robbing Garon's Warren street store Welch will also be held for other robberies he is said to have committed in this city.
 States Attorney Cummings declared today that Welch will not be tried this term because Judge Reed. who is here as a substitute for Judge Curtis. must open court in Danbury next week. The case of John Cayanaugh, one of sthe men charged with the murder of Gar on, will not be considered at this term either. He gave valuable evidence to the state so it Is probable leniency will be shown him.
 A fourth member of the gang, John McMillan, also has his case continued until the May term. The<charge against him is robbery as he was not in the store at the time Edward Slat- tery fired the shot that killed Garon McMillan will be used as a witness if he is needed, according to reports heard today at the courthouse.

Government officers arrived in Bridgeport today to supervise final details of the formation of Bridge ports mosquito fleet. It was found that the preparedness movement along naval lines in Bridgeport far surpass- ed the most sanguine expectation of Secretary of Navy Daniels.
 Bridgeport's quota of boats to the mosquito fleet, which hereafter will be termed ''The Naval Reserve Coast Defense Squadron,'' is said by Lieut.. Albert J.

DELANEY DENIES
 CHILD LABOR IS
 PREVALENT HERE
State Board of Education Charge That He Won't
 Prosecute, Is Refuted.

The statement of the state board of education that Prosecutor Alex ander Delaney, of this city, and the prosecutors of Danbury, Waterbury, and New London, neglected or refused to prosecute in the city courts manu- lecturers and other employers who have consistently violated the child labor laws, brought a heated denial from Delaney when he was seen to- day by a Farmer representative.
 "I have taken up every single case and have settled them to the complete satisfaction of MT. Charles D, Hine and his inspectors. I have never re- fused to bring into the city court em- ployers found guilty of violating the child labor law. As a matter of fact, I have never known of a single em. ployer who wilfully and deliberately violated this law" said Delaney
 Many times school boys leave their studies and go to work. They state when applying for employment that they are IT or Is years old. The employer is not to blame and is not responsible for their untruthfulness Gases have been reported to me of boys between 14 and 16 years, who have gone to work On investiga: ton found they were aiding a -yid- owed roother to feed younger brothers and sisters and keep the family intact, with a shelter over their heads l believe. as public official it is my duty to exercise discretion in cases of the foregoing nature"
 The state board of education alleges that in Waterbury, innumerable vio- lations of the law have not been pros ecuted when brought to. the attention of the prosecuting attorney, and the same condition prevails in New Lon. don and Danbury. Bridgeport, the state board alleged, was one of the worst cities in the state, and the laxity of the prosecutor made the law a farce.
 MT. Delaney states he will absolute ly prosecute any violation if it is brought to his attention and has never refused to act when charges were made.
