FINGER PRINTS OF DEAD MAN

Police of Pueblo and Colorado

the discovery of the mana actual iden-

index TO life photographs OF Brown.
MorEuo photographs. especially in n
case such as this one, where the dead

wounds and blows, are apt to be mis-

relatives or acquaintances may recoE-

GOV. SA0UP NAMES
GEORGE STEPHAN AS
LAND BOARD MEMBER
Appointment Referred to Ed.
ucational Institutions
Committee
Special to The chieftain:

Special to The Chieftain:
Denver. March 1a.-Thc long looked
for show down between the Governor
and the senate came this morning when
the Governor, who is determined t@ get
rid OF John Vivian as a member of
the state land board. sent tho name of
former lieutenant governor. George
stephan, OF Delta, to the senate to be
confirmed for that position.
Lieutenant Governor Cooley accepted
tho showdown OF the governor and
sent Mr.. Stephan's name to the oduca-
ton and educational institutions com
mittes for consideration. Senator
Booth, a strong Vivian man, is chair
man of this committee and tho lieu-
tenant governor let 1t be known that
he sent Mr.. Stcphau's name to that
committee with a view of having IT
buried forever and a day. Tho name
under ordinary conditions would have
been sent to the state affairs and pub
lie lands committee.
Governor Shoup decided early this
morning to bring tho fight to a show
down. He had thought of sending the
name of former Representative Gil
crest to tho senate, but he had been
told by over a majority of the mem
bcrs that they would never confirm
Gilcrcst's nomination. He therefore
decided to send Mr.. Stephan's name up
without any further adieu. Ten min
utcs after the senate convened. Joe
Moorchesd. secretary to the governor,
appeared and handed the letter con-
tanning tho appointment OF the lieu
tenan. governor. a few minutes after
tho members went into executive ses-
sion, the appointment was read, ana
tho lieutenant governor sent the name
to tho education and educational In
stitutions committee. In sendlnS 1T to
that committee he said.
THE state land board handled more
of the school lands than any other de-
partment. hence that was the proper
committee" But he said 1t with a
grin, and everyone knew that he made
that disposition of the name in order
to bottle 1t up for some little time.
Senator Booth. chairman, of the com
mittee. is n strong supporter of WV
ian. and will not bring the name out
unless he is forced to do so. If Booth
can hold the name In the committee
until after the legislature adjourns
Vivian will hold over by reason of the
fact that no successor to his posison
was appointed and confirmed.
Governor Shoup feels that the senate
has purposely held UP legislation in
order to force him to rc-nominatc Mr.
Vivian. The Republican members OF
the senate say this is not tho case.
They say that they have considered
legislation just as I8iluiS ds 'h's
could and that they will continue so
to do. Senator Peterson in speaking
on this said:
"Icgislation has not been held zip on
account of tho Vivian matter. and viii
no. be delayed one minute on that nc
count. The senate will continue to
consider legislation just as rapidly as
,yc can, and give It the thought that
should be given to It,"

BOARD ASKS RAIL HEADS
TO TESTIFY IN HEARINGS
President Lee Of the Brotherhood Says Roads Have
Assumed Position Of Outlawry, and
Are Insincere

Chicago. March 14.-The railroad
labor board today requested four rail-
road heads to appear before it We'd
nesday morning to testify in the hear
ing over the national agreements. The
men summoned were f. Dewitt Guy
Ter. chairman of the Association of
Railroad Executives: w. w. After
bury, vice president of the Pennsy-
lvania railroad; Carl r. Gray. pres
ident of the Union Pacific and r. S.
Binkerd. assistant to Mr.. Cuyler.
The decision to summon the men was
made in executive session after Frank
P. Walsh, attorney for the four big
brotherhoods, had refused to go on
with rebutal testimony unless the
witnesses were called.
Mr.. walsh's statement to the
board, said:
1T will be impossible for us TO pro-
ceed with the presentation of our
case until witnesses we have called
for have been subpoenaed and have
presented themselves for examina
tion.
II feel it incumbent upon mo to
add that my clients are in no sense
responsible for the delays in these
proceedings.
The delay has been both disturb
ing and costly to the public. 1t has
recruited thousands upon thousands
to the army of tho unemployed.
Every time | appear on tho streets OF
Chicago, l am accosted by poor devils
who have been driven to mendacity
in order that they may have food and
place to sleep.
And further to aSEravatc an
alarming situation we have the
threatened debacle in tho great pack
ing industry. There zoe, 900 men and
women have been told that they
must work long hours for less wages
that tho industry may go forward to
tho satisfaction of the over-lords
who control it. This means that all
the ground gained by these workers
will be wrested from them in day
or in an hour.
1T means that tho packers arc
backing up the railroad owners and

certed drive to break down all labor
