SHACKELFORD The Commissioner of Property will have the management of the Clerk and Recorder's office, the Building Inspector's office, the Parks, Boulevards and Playgrounds of the City, and will be a member of the Council. I believe the public is less interested in long platforms filled with high-sounding platitudes than it is in the real fitness, integrity, business capacity and general suitability of the candidate to the particular office he seeks. The public is entitled to know: That I am a native of Kentucky; was educated at Washington University and Cornell Univresity; that I have lived in Denver thirty-nine years; that throughout this time my business has been that of real estate and building, which of necessity has brought me at all times into close contact with the Clerk and Recorder's office and the office of Building Inspector, making me very familiar with all the forms, usages and conduct of these offices. Further, for 30 years past, I have made a study of the park and boulevard system in nearly all the large cities of America and Europe, the landscape work, trees, shrubbery, flowers and general finish—I love the subject and take a deep interest in our parks, our boulevards and our playgrounds. I was President of our Board of Public Works for two years, some years ago, and the experience then gained in city management will be of benefit to the public, should I be elected, and I am sincere in believing that real economy is necessary in all departments of the City under present conditions. I am extensively known in the city and I leave to the public my general reputation for standing, ability, integrity and peculiar fitness for the position of Commissioner of Property. ADVERTISEMENT J.

More than 200 applications for parole, six of them from bankers, were listed for consideration by the federal board of paroles at Leavenworth, Kan. "The tight skirt with the naughty slash is a fraud, a cheat and an atrocity." Dressmakers of Chicago so labelled it in resolutions passed at a banquet.

A memorial was introduced in the Arizona Senate asking that steps be taken to abrogate the present treaty between the United States and Japan and negotiate a new one which will permit states to enact their own alien land laws. Jack Johoson, champion heavyweight prize fighter of Chicago, was found guilty of violating the Mann white slave law in transporting Belle Schreiber from Pittsburg to Chicago in 1910. He was convicted on all seven counts in the indictment. The jury returned its verdict after an hour's consideration. CONGRESSIONAL.

The anti-suffragists made public an interview with Representative Heflin of Alabama, in which the statement is made that Heflin has made a poll of of the House of Representatives which "shows that the majority in the House against votes for women is 5 to 1." The bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the Department of Commerce has prepared a report on the subject of "Foreign Tariff Systems and Industrial Conditions," which is a striking illustration of the high efficiency of manufacturing establishments in the United States. President Wilson viewed with satisfaction the passage of a jury reform bill by the New Jersey House. It was this bill he urged in the recent visit to New Jersey. Unsolicited, President Wilson gave $300 to a fund for an emergency hospital at Washington and declared he was sorry, he could not write his check for more. John E. Wilkle, supervising special agent of the customs service, and for fourteen years chief of the United States secret service, will resign from the government service. FOREIGN.

O'Connell, treasurer of Cook county, corroborated the testimony of Lieutenant Governor Barrett O'Hara, under investigation by a legislative committee for alleged immorality. O'Connell and members of the Press Club said O'Hara was with them at the times Maud Robinson claimed he was in her apartment at the Sherman house. A sensation was created at Chicago in the State Senate committee investigating charges of immorality against Lieutenant Governor Barratt O'Hara, head of the Inlinos vice investigating committee, when the name of Mrs. Mabel Davidson Inbusch of Madison, Wis., daughter of former governor Davidson of Wisconsin and widow of a millionaire, was brought into the testimony. Secretary of State William J. Bryan addressed the Pennsylvania Legislature at Harrisburg on the distinction between Democratic Democracy and aristocracy. He predicted that before another general election the presidential primary would be so general that there would be no need to hold national conventions and that presidential nominees would be named not by party leaders or bosses, but by the people. In his fourth lecture on "Some questions of modern government," at Yale, Professor William H. Taft characterized the form of government advocated by the Progressives as "hair-trigger" and leading to anarchy and a despotism of the majority.

Record Yields Anticipated in Grand Junction, Fort Collins and La Junta Districts. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Grand Junction, Colo.—Unless a late spring frost is experienced, which is unlikely, the Grand valley expects the greatest crop of fruit in its history. The only damage done by the frost three weeks ago was in the nipping of peach buds in a few localities where no smudging was done. The railroad companies will begin in a few days to make their annual estimate of the number of cars of fruit which will be shipped from the Grand valley and the Western slope. The entire Western slope output will be not less than 10,000 cars with the Grand valley supplying more than one-third of this amount. The sugar beet crop will be the largest in the history of Grand valley. The factory of the Western Sugar and Land Company located here has the largest acreage contracted since its erection ten years ago. More than 1,000 additional acres of small grain have been set in on the redlands across the river from Grand Junction, and crops of every kind will be grown. Fort Collins.—Fruit has been undamaged by frost or any other cause so far this year. The prospects for large crops from surrounding orchards were never better. La Junta.—The largest crop of cherries, apples, plums and peaches raised in years is promised the fruit growers surrounding La Junta this year. A slight spring frost of two weeks ago did no damage. To Complete Irrigation Project. Delta.—A contract was let to the Saylor Construction Company of Lamar for the completion of the Seleedge extension of the Gunnison irrigation project that is under way by the government. The contract price is $100,000, and the work will be started at once. It is expected to have it completed by the late fall. This extension will bring water to about 10,000 acres in Delta county. Water will be brought through four tunnels, each more than 900 feet long. Some of the most promising land in the county will be included in the new district. Mrs. Brokaw Flees With Son. Colorado Springs. — Exercising a cunning that is seldom shown by women, Mrs. Tillie Seaman Brokaw "kidnaped" her small son, "Buster," and fled with him on a Santa Fe train while her husband—the father of the child—Clarence Pierce Brokaw, a former millionaire and member of the very wealthy Brokaw family of New York, was locked up in a cell in the El Paso county jail on the charge of assaulting her with a frying pan at their home. Prospectors Active in Eagle District. Eagle, Colo.—Prospectors are arriving in large numbers since the snows melted and a small town $t$ the foot of Horse Mountain has been started, called Elkhorn. A hotel is going up there. News has been reported that ore running $150 a ton has been opened on the Little Mary claim, a mile and a half northeast of the Lady Belle. Good ore also appears to be coming in the North Dakota claim on Horse Mountain. Aeroplane Egg Laid by Biddy. Gill.—What is said to be the most flagrant attempt on the part of Gill hens to boost the price of eggs was discovered by J. S. Harrison. He found an egg which is an exact duplicate of a miniature aeroplane. It is on exhibition, together with other freak eggs recently laid by Gill hens, including one weighing four ounces and another which tips the scales at but a quarter of an ounce. Plow Uncovers Bones Long Burled. Pueblo.—The skeleton of a full grown man, who had been buried on the ranch of Calvin White, on the Vineland road, was unearthed.

Near the same spot a can of old coins was unearthed several days ago, one of them being a silver dollar of 1803. Twenty Indicted by Grand Jury. Denver. — Twenty indictments, a majority of them hinging on District Attorney John A. Rush's interpretation of the café license law, were returned by Judge C. C. Butler's special grand jury.

Pueblo.—Miss Viola Steal, 25, was arrested, charged with the theft of $250 from Mrs. Della Pitcock. The money was taken from a bureau. Locomotor Ataxia Fatal.

The late Moses Hallett left no will but left property of the value of $250-500, according to the petition of Lucius F. Hallett, his son, for letters of administration, filed in the County Court in Denver. Without a clew to the grewsome circumstances surrounding their deaths, the bodies of the two-month-old infant and the middle-aged man, discovered in the Platte river at Denver, were buried in the potter's field. Before the terrified gaze of a hundred persons near the intersection of Fifteenth and Welton streets in Denver, Ralph J. Mertz, sixteen-year-old son of Charles Mertz, was crushed beneath the noofs of a fractions horse. O. C. Frantz of the Rocky Ford Poultry Farm, shipped 2,230 baby chicks for which he received $356.50. On the same day he also shipped 200 pounds of spring chicks for which he received 40 cents per pound at Colorado Springs, thus making the two months old Leghorns net him 60 cents each. A bulmper winter wheat crop is the prospect for Colorado this year. There will be 211,000 acres harvested, according to the latest report of the United States Department of Agriculture.

Union Day m. to 12 p. m. --- Cash or Credit AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Bergfield, a German scientist, advances a new theory for the variety of human color or pigmentation. We quote him from Harper's Weekly: "Bergfield, the German investigator, holds the view that the pigmentation of the races is due to feeding. He points out that in the animal world color is often determined by food, and he contends that by chemical process the same results are shown in the different human faces. According to this theory, the original man was black, since his chief diet must have been vegetarian. Fruit and vegetables contain manganates that ally themselves with iron, constituting a dark brown combination. Bergfield states that negroes who add meat and milk to their vegetable fare are never as dark as those Negroes who eat only vegetables. Indians are red, it appears, because they have absorbed for generations haemoglobin, the red substance in the blood of animals killed for food. Mongols are yellow by reason of the fact that they are descended from dark fruit eating races who penetrated into the plains of Asia, became shepherds and lived to a great extent on milk, which contains chlorine and bleaching effect. Caucasians were another branch who became still whiter by adding salt to their dietary. Common salt is a strong chloride and a powerful agent in bleaching the skin. The effect can be seen, it is declared, in case of children who have been reared on a "white" dietary. They are never so black as their kindred who have not abandoned vegetarianism." Professor Bergfield's theory is a good deal more reasonable than that of some who have given out their vicious opinion that the Negro's color is the curse of God placed upon Cain, the ancestor of Ham, for the killing of his brother Abel. Bergfield says it is not the curse of God, but the result of what we have been eating. Africans are largely vegetarian in the food they live upon. Professor Bergfield says this produced our racial color. We picked this up from somewhere. Read it: "An old colored man with an old gray mule hitched to a ram-shackle wagon stood on the incline of Capitol Hill in Washington. D. C., during one of the worst stormes in January. The old man huddled in his rabbit skin cap shivering. The mule was trembling with the cold. A man waiting for a belated street car was attracted by the strange outfit and wondered, as time went on and the colored man made no effort to depart, what ailed the old fellow. Finally he walked over and said: 'Why don't you move on, uncle?' The old darky pointed a trembling finger at his team and replied: "Cause dis yere mule won't go 'less I whistle at 'him, an' it's so cold I cyarn't whistle.'" Now if whistling is what our situation in so many places, in so many things, really needs, let's pucker up and have some lively Negro whistling all along our lines. If that's not the thing needed, let's find out what is the need and keep on trying till our balky team does start off and keep going. No one can rise higher than their mind and thoughts lead them; therefore, young men and women, boy and girl should keep their minds elevated to high things and labor to rise high in the world and in usefulness.—The Baptist Voice. The latest census from Boley, Okla., one of several Negro towns of that state, gives a population of 4,000; a bank with a capital and surplus of $11,500 and deposits of $75,804.44; twenty-five grocery stores, five hotels, seven restaurants, water works worth $35,000, electric plant worth $20,000, four drug stores, four cotton gins ranging from $8,000 to $15,000 in value, one bottling works, one steam laundry, two newspapers, two ice cream parlors, two hardware stores, a $40,000 Masonic temple, two colleges, one high school, one graded school, two city school buildings, one telephone exchange costing $3,000; 842 school children, ten teachers, six churches, two livery stables, two insurance agencies, one second hand store, two undertaking establishments, one lumber yard, two photographers, one bakery, and one of the best city parks in the state. Praise will make some folks "run a good thing in the ground." Letting well enough alone is a hard thing for most people to do. "Swell head" is easily contracted in two ways. See? —The Arkansas Review. This is from the Vanguard of Little Rock, Ark.: "Don't be too independent about your job. Just about the time you think the proprietor can't do without you, some one will appear who can fill the place better than you did. Just keep on doing your best." Anyone is in poor condition who cannot defend their convictions. In other words, you cannot depend upon one who has no convictions, because they are as changeable as the winds. —The Christian Hope. As to the right sort of teachers in our public schools, there is much which belongs to the field of discussion among the Negro masses. There was a time when a Negro teacher in any sort of school was not confined to his or her school room; but did much of what is now being called "extension work." At any and at every point of the community life, where there was likelihood of doing good in the way of giving enlightenment and progressiveness to the people, old and young, school-going and non-school-going, there the teacher was to be found. We found it so when, in our youth, we taught in our native Georgia and found it so when later we taught in Mississippi and still later (and that has not been so long ago), when we were officially connected with educational work in Louisiana;—the teacher was an all-round helper and worker. They did not feel that they had come fully up to the functions of a good teacher if they confined themselves simply to their class room work. Whence this withdrawing and with-holding from the participation of uplifting, which teachers of other days were wont to read into their certificates? Suppose our pedagogical friends do the first thinking over this question. Later let the communities take it up and reset matters again after that good old rule. Citizens must be as big as their age. It is no time for small and ignorant men with blind prejudices. In no age could a demagogue do so much damage with excitable and unthinking men as now, for in no other generation have there been such mighty interests to ruin. One can smash vast values in a short time. With the tremendous increase of our country in everything that contributes to civilization of the world, with our commerce and trade seeking all nations, with our institutions and asylums of all people, with values untold in meadows and mines and ten thousand useful arts, and with millions coming into every decade of our population, with problems that appeal to the supreme wisdom of the strongest minds re-enforced by the loftiest thinking of all ages, the obligation laid upon the plain, every-day citizen is tremendous, and it is no time for the ranting Socialist, without sense of proportion or appreciation of the new forces of this mighty era. He must make way for vast movements and not center his thought upon petty measures.—Chancellor James R. Day, in Leslie's. We cannot escape the cheerful conviction that there may be in the suffragette movement much that will help our contention for a fuller grant of freedom to the race under the constitution. Why not our Negro women join the army now warring for female suffrage. Read this news item taken from a Chicago paper: "Because the manager of the La Salle hotel refused to permit a Negro woman to be served in the dining-room of the hotel, 300 white Chicago club women gathered, arose in a body and left, declaring if the manager did not serve the Negress he could not serve them." If China continues to carry out her present policy of prohibition, and the United States continues her policy of license, it will not be a hundred years until China will be sending missionaries to the United States, just as we today are sending them to China—Clean Politics. The pot can boil strong where there is a nice little vegetable garden in the rear of the premises. The ground is there, the sun is now smiling affectionately upon the earth; seeds are cheap; a hoe costs but little. Why not soon have on your sprit a pot which boils right? Industry can eat out of a good pot; but sloth must remain eating out of a skillet in the coming hot weather. Do make a garden. You will feel like you are somebody. In Georgia the business element of Negroes are proving up some important things. Atlanta, already and for some time, the center of very successful industrial insurance companies, has now an old-line life insurance company, with one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) of registered municipal bonds deposited with the state treasurer and has the approval of the authorities to its financial statement. Don't send your children to Sunday school and church; carry them, then you will know they are there.—The Dallas Express. The thing which should concern you most is what you are doing to help make your community better and brighter. You need not worry over what people think of you, or say about you, but you ought to be greatly concerned about what you do and what you leave undone in making up the record of life.—The Torch Light. The qualities which you possess and cultivate today will bring you success or failure in the future. For which goal are you aiming?—The Interstate Reporter.

Will the time ever come when men and women who labor will take it into their heads that they are really benefiting themselves when they learn to study their employers' interest? As their employers' interest advance, those who help make the success advance with the business. But instead, some employes will not make time, will not do good work, but are ready to quit before time, and kick if they work overtime. Such people are only time-servers; they have no interest in their employers' welfare and yet if they lost their jobs tomorrow they would have no place to go. Another thing we ought to learn, don't transact your personal affairs at your employer's place of business. This kind of work is certain to ruin any man or any business. Study your employer's interest if you want him to take care of you. Make an effort to pay your bills, and pay back the money you borrow, and not have the loaner running to your place of business during business hours. Learn to protect your employer's goods, that they be not lost or stolen. The lines are fallen to us in hard places and we must make good if we are to be preferred. The Colorado Statesman upholds the race, but sometimes we are made the butt of the joker when we attempt to do business with those whom people of our color have wronged. THE NEGROES IN THE CITIES This paper has spoken of the cities. It makes the paper problem; the intellectual advancement a bigger challenge than the despair and hopeless, perhaps, as we think agabond for whom the earth strength, that built the city has inhabited the city named after men and leaders. The first city was herer and polygamy and make the kingdom of her possess ten righteous psynonym for iniquity, a prophetic book of the race said: "O venal city style said: "What a fief we will not continue to ferings of the city.

Cities have ever and hope of every great prophecy as we think, it was Cain, a murderer whom the earth (land or country) built the first city, and it seems that faced the cities ever since. Cities are for men and usually take on the charge of first city ever built (Enoech) was a gamy and so it has ever been. Baboedom of heaven by force Sodom and righteous persons to save them. Baboedom iniquity. Nineveh merited the imposition of the Bible. Of Imperial Revolt venal city, destined soon to perish. What a fermenting vat is hidden and continue to multiply instances of the city.

Good men and women, literature must co-operate if we are going to save alarmists or calamity howlers, but wuths are doomed unless a change is ever suggested? This paper has spoken before of the congestion of colored youth in the cities. It makes the city a problem and the race uplift a deeper problem; the intellectual, industrial, moral, physical and spiritual advancement a bigger problem still. Cities have always been both the despair and hope of every great prophet and reformer. Little, perhaps, as we think, it was Cain, a murderer, a fugitive and a vagabond for whom the earth (land or country) refused to yield her strength, that built the first city, and it seems that this class of persons has inhabited the cities ever since. Cities are often built for and named after men and usually take on the characteristic of their founders. The first city ever built (Enoch) was the beginning of barter and polygamy and so it has ever been. Babel was an attempt to take the kingdom of heaven by force. Sodom and Gomorrah did not possess ten righteous persons to save them. Babylon has become the synonym for iniquity. Nineveh merited the invective of an entire prophetic book of the Bible. Of Imperial Rome the historian Horace said: "O venal city, destined soon to perish." Of London Carlyle said: "What a fermenting vat is hidden in a great city." But we will not continue to multiply instances of the dangers, crime and sufferings of the city. Few have studied the city problems. If members of the race would make the city, its conditions and pitfalls a study, we might be able to do something worth while for our young men. The Colorado Statesman is but a voice, a single voice. It cannot do all. We can only point the way. Good men and women, literary societies, lodges and the church must co-operate if we are going to save the race in the city. We are not alarmists or calamity howlers, but we simply proclaim that our city youths are doomed unless a change is effected some way. What do you suggest? The Moff Moffat Tunnel Charter Ameri- ment has the approval of all of the co is endorsed by the governor and may- tially every business enterprise in the The Moffat Tunnel Charter Amendment This amendment has the approval of all of the commercial organizations of the city, is endorsed by the governor and mayor, the newspapers and by substantially every business enterprise in the city. The amendment, if carried, will authorize the city of Denver to assist in the building of the tunnel. It will give employment to thousands of laborers and several million dollars will be distributed for supplies—all within the state. The city is to own the tunnel. It is fully protected, so that the railway company finally takes it off of the city's hands at full cost. There is no doubt in the minds of the committee having the matter in charge for the combined commercial organizations of the city that the railroad will fully carry out its contract and that Denver will be placed on a transcontinental line to Salt Lake City without any expense to the city of Denver. PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. (Advertisement) Carl M. Lindquist Candidate for Commissioner Public Safety Carl M. Lindquist, the big-heart ed, liberal, level-headed, square-dealing cracker manufacturer, is PETER H. BURKE a candidate for commissioner of safety. Everybody in Colorado knows Carl Linquist, but everybody dosen't know that he is a candidate for office. He has served in the city council and in the state legislature. During these years of public service not one crooked act is charged against him that we have yet heard of. His record is clean. Of those who know him no commendation is necessary. Those who do not, need only to investigate to be convinced of these facts. Mr. Lindquist has been in business in Denver since 1887, and employs 145 people. (Advertisement.) THOMAS F. McGREW. Candidate for Commissioner of Safety. Taking up my residence in Denver in September, 1890. I have followed the Real Estate, Insurance and Loan business continuously since that time. Have been actively engaged in this line of business for myself during the past 14 years. The only political position I have ever filled was that of Fire Commissioner of the Fire and Police Board and served as such from June 1st, 1912, to February 1st, 1913. Many things came up to contend with during this period not usual to the regular duties of the Fire Commissioner and I was in service continually during this time. The Cherry Creek flood came upon us and I was in service from 3 p. m. Sunday until 3:25 a. m. Tuesday continuously. We distributed hose to all business men who applied for same until we almost crippled the department however, we did not lose one section of hose and we received the thanks of the business men for the accommodations extended. We raised $6,240 for the Convention of the Fire Chiefs, of which amount their still remains a balance of over $760, which could be placed in the Firemens Pension Fund. We successfully gave the Firemens Ball, which had not been given for ten years or more, same netting about PETER H. HARRIS $4,000 for the pension fund; Engine company No. 3 (colored) gave a ball which netted about $100 for the pension fund, so that you will notice, should you transfer the balance of $760 from the chiefs convention fund to the pension fund, you will readily see that during the year we added about $5,000 to the pension fund, and should these dances have been given annually during the past ten years the pension fund would have been benefited to the extent of $50,000 as well as interest on same. We increased the roster of the department to 225 men, the largest number of men the department has ever contained, and at the same time carried the department to a $16,000 credit balance, out of which we purchased four runabouts for the assistant chiefs, one $5,000 sixty-five foot aerial truck, together with horses, harness and other equipment for same, two fire house locations for the sixteenth ward, helmets for the men, nozzles and other equipment. I feel this a record that one can well feel proud of and should the people elect me to the office that I aspire to, that of Public Safety, same will receive my unireeling efforts, and I believe I will meet with the same success as your Comissioner of Safety as I did while acting as your fire commissioner. KATHERINE KILKER McGOVERN. Candidate for Commissioner of Social Welfare. In these days when women are actively entering the business world, there is much fear abroad that the home may suffer by the exchange. The demands of home life and of the civic needs are each so incessant that there is imminent danger of sacrificing one to the other. Among those women who have met his problem and have been able to "make good" both as a home maker and as an efficient factor in public life is Mrs. Katherine Kilker McGovern, wife of the well-known undertaker, E. P. McGovern. While Mrs. McGovern, who is a candidate for the office of commissioner of social welfare, has reared a family of six children and seen them graduated from the best colleges of the state, M. H. MRS. KATHERINE KILKER McGOVERN she has given as freely of her personality to the affairs of the "outside world." During her forty years residence in Denver her name has been the inspiration of many charitable projects and many political reforms which Denver is enjoying today. As treasurer of the Jane Jefferson Democratic Club and as a member of the Woman's Club she has introduced movements for the city's betterment. The office of commissioner of social welfare is peculiarly suited to a woman, and public opinion has set aside that office for a woman, and it is hoped that this office will be filled by a woman of Mrs. McGovern's type—one who will bring both efficiency and personality into politics. ADVERTISEMENT JOHN ALLISON. Candidate for Commissioner of Property. Asks your vote for this office if you cannot give me a first choice vote then give a second or third, the safest way to vote however, is to make but one cross after my name. In voting for the different choices you are splitting your vote and really only giving me one third of a vote. You will find my name to be the first under the heading, commissioner of property on the ballot. I Am Not a Reformer. If I am elected I expect to assist the council, (which will be composed of the commissioners of the various departments) to run the city in a conservative, business way. I believe in equal rights regardless of party, nationality or religion. Let us Have Peace. Mud-slinging, factional fights, and petty quarrels among the city officials must stop. It hurts the name of our beautiful city, not only at home but also abroad. At present investors are afraid to come to Denver and we need all of them we can get here. Business Not Politics Should run this City. Lack of space forbids printing my policies here, but in ample time before election I will have them printed and distributed throughout the city and if you agree with me I will ask your support to the extent of one vote.

Remember Election May 20. Mrs. I. H. Harper has opened an ice cream parlor at 2445 Larimer street. She will also serve dinner every Sunday at the above address. She solicits the patronage of the public. Modern furnished rooms for rent. Mrs. A. Arnold, 2318 Arapahoe. For Commissioner of Improvements. At the request of a number of taxpayers I am brought forward for election to the above office. Being a resident of Denver for very many years, and filling various positions in the city from time to time, chief of which was Civil Engineer, I feel from the experience gathered, that in the interests of the taxpayers I can serve M. B. John. B. Hunter faithfully if elected. A square deal to all men in my business is my platform, and knowing the good results that accrue from continually acting this way, I cannot but put the same in action in my public life. A man who is thoroughly conservant with the City must necessarily be acquainted with the needs of its improvement and the lasting benefits to be derived from such improvements. Feeling that there must be confidence placed in me by the people who requested me to become a candidate, I give the assurance that whatever lies in my power to assist in making Denver one of the most beautiful cities of the world, and worthy of its progressive citizens, the same shall be done. Don't forget—election May 20th. (Advertisement.) GEO. BECHERER For C nmissioner of Safety. The policy of this candidate is that Denver be an up-to-date city and live up to its name as the "Playground of America." In his experience as a member of the fire department, being a worker and executive officer, he feels that he has the necessary fitness for the position he now seeks; and in his spirit of fair play for such laws that will cater to the betterment and not the detriment of the people. GEORGE BECHERER he does not indorse a wide open nor hermetically sealed Denver. His cooperation with the Juvenile Court, morals commission and other agencies to reduce and eliminate crime will certainly be appreciated, as also his connections with various business associations which garrison him with the ability to grasp the live issues of the city at present, and make him thoroughly capable of dealing with them. The Colorado Statesman urges its subscribers and the public in general to bear the date of election, May 20th, in mind. (Advertisement.) Candidate for Commissioner of Improvements.

The Burlington will pay the city $60,000 outright. 2. The Burlington Railroad will, pay all expenses of paving, sewering, etc., on the street. 3. The Burlington Railroad will buy from the school board the school house and real estate at presont lo- cotion at Market and 23rd street and thusaid the board in building a school house for that district in a more desirable location. 4. The Burlington Railroad will as- sume all liability for damages to abutting property owners. 5, All other railroads will have the mght to use the tracks, 6. The city will have the right at any time to purchase the tracks at eest. 7. The Burlington Railroad agrees not to make any switching charge against shippers located on the Various business organizations in Denver have gone thoroughly into the matter and have approved this permit. .On the other hand the bond issue of $200,000, as proposed by the supervisors for the purchase and ex- tension of municipally owned tracks on Blake street, would only increase the taxation of the people and result ir bottling up Market street, the best street available for industrial ex- pansion of the city. The only rail- road that could. possibly use the Blake street tracks is the Union Pacific railroad and that railroad is already in occupation of Blake Street. Investigation discloses the fact that not one city in this country owns and operates steam railroad freight termi- nals, and the experiment proposed by the supervisors would be only a cost- ly financial failure. The burlington permit has been granted by the coun- cil. It is being refered to the voters for their endorsement. We ask you te endorse this permit by marking a cross on your ballot opposite the words “For said ordinance” (X). Scene cones, Chairman, Speeial Committee — Den- ver Chamber of Commerce. D. C.

Probably no candidate for this of- fice is better known and more de- serving of thé people's consideration than Dr. Sharpley. Always of a broad mind and liberal disposition, Dr. Sharpley immediately commends him- self to our citizens of color, During his term of office as health commis- sioner, he was more than painstaking in the treatment of our people. Anti- toxin for the treatment of diphtheria, and excellent, proficient care of all who entered the Steele Hospital, is a legacy left by Dr. Sharpley which es- pecially endears him to colored peo- ple. Dr. Sharpley has lived in Denver over thirty-five years. Was police surgeon five years and health com- missioner for eight years. He is the father of the present effi- cient milk ordinance and the meat in- spection ordinance. \ Best of all, Dr. Sharpley is a fatr- minded, liberal man, and has as little prejudice as it is possible for a man to have. The above requisites togeth- er with his ability and experience, should cause every voter to seriousiy consider Dr. Sharpley as a first choice for Commissioner of Social Welfare. Election May 20.

In availing myself of the opportu- nity to express my view on the Com- mission Form of Government and for which I am a candidate at the election on May 20th, I will endeavor to be as brief as possible, yet clear and con- cise, First—Do I believe the Commission Form of Government will be a suc- cess? The Commission Form of Govern- ment, just like any other form of government, depends for its success upon the integrity, ability and repre- sentative capacity of the men through whom the people endeavor to express themselves in a political Sehise, as, a community, state or na- tion. ‘Therefore, a public official can owe no allegiance, be under no obligatioas to any institution other than the soy- ereign citizenship of the community that he would represent. Consequent- ly, I will assume the duties of the of- fice I seek, free and untrammeled, to represent the interests of the entire community in every detail. ‘The first duty of government offi- cials is to establish industry by bring- ing manufacturing interests to tne city, that everyone may be =hle to ob- tain lucrative employment. When the government legislates for tne benefit of ihe laborer it legislates not alone for the people of the present time, but for posterity as well. No law that enables the laborer to better his condition has ever proved to be an unjust law. The greatest advances in civiliza- tion have been made by the enactment of laws that made men equal in the opportunities of life. These are my political principles will ever be, whether elected or not. Very respectfuliy, . CHAS. T. POWER. | Charles L. Kirk Of the Colorado Laundry & Towel Supply Co.

Broad Belt of Plaster, White, Gray and Brown, Girdles Capitol's Rotunda Seventy-five Feet Above Flagstones of Pavement. The abandoned fresco in the Capitol at Washington is an incomplete art work which no brush has touched in many years and which never again may take color from a painter's hand. U.S. CAPITOL A broad belt of plaster, white, gray and brown, girdles the rotunda seventy-five feet above the flat flagstones of the pavement and 105 feet below the canopy within the dome. This ring of lime and sand winds around the rotunda at that height where the masonry of the central pile ends and the iron of the dome begins. It is directly over an entablature which is supported by twelve Grecian antea. On this plaster band, the width of which is nine feet, stand, knee, march and fight thirteen groups of pallid figures designed to tell the story of the discovery of the new world and of the birth and growth of the great republic. They seem like effigies cut in stone, but these sculptured images of men, women and things were carved not with mallet and chisel, but with brush and pallette. The length of this belt is 304 feet and of this girth the statue-paintings occupy 277 feet. The groups, which begin over the west door of the ro $ _{0} $ tunda, circle to the north, turn to the east, curve to the south and then bend away to the west again, but do not extend to the place of beginning, between which and the final group there is a gaping space of twenty-seven feet of bald wall, ugly in its nakedness and blotched with grime. The creator of the statue-fresco of the Capitol was Constantine Brumidi, and his assistant and successor was Filippo Costaggini. Both are dead, though Costaggini waited a long time for an opportunity to complete the frieze. His son was a recent visitor at the Capitol. Brumidi came to Washington during the administration of President Buchanan. His biographer has said that he was Roman born, but had studied painting and architecture at the Accademia di San Lucca and for three years practiced the art of fresco on the walls of the Vatican when Gregory VI. was pontiff. When the French entered Rome Brumidi, a captain in the Papal Guards, was imprisoned, but released through the intercession of Pope Plus IX. He then came to the United States, landing at New York in 1849. He became an American by naturalization in 1852 and went to Mexico in 1854. In the period between his arrival and departure he painted frescoes in St. Stephen's Catholic church in New York city and the Catholic Cathedral in Philadelphia. He returned from Mexico and at the instance of the joint committee of the library was employed to decorate the interior walls of the Capitol. Examples of his art may be seen on the walls of the corridors in the senate wing and in numerous committee rooms on the house and senate sides. His "Apotheosis of Washington," the fresco forming the ceiling of the dome, is thought to be one of the great frescoes of the western world. "I will fresco statues there," said Brumidi. It has been written that Brumidi "proceeded with the creation of Chiaroscura drawings in distemper—drawings so deceptive in the artful distribution of light and shade that the white figures stand like marble against the brown background. With opaque earthy pigments, mixed with weak glue instead of oil, he wrote history on green plaster. It was true fresco and not fresco secco that he did." Brumidi was stricken with sickness and died in 1880. The work on the frieze was carried on after his death by Costaggini, who used for his text the cartoon drawn by the master. It has been thought that Brumidi's design under Brumidi's treatment woul have filled the belt, but that Costaggini somewhat crowded the figures so that the fresco did not reach all the way around. When the cartoons were exhausted the fresco was suspended, and so long has it been suspended that it is now pointed to as "The Abandoned Fresco." Bishop of Barbados. Barbados, where Prince Albert has been making himself very popular, used to possess a remarkably exuberant population. Henry Nelson Coleridge, who spent some months there in 1826, records that he "was present when the first bishop of Barbados arrived. Wherever a human foot could stand was one mass of black faces. As the barge passed slowly along, the emotions of the multitude were absolutely tremendous; they threw up their arms and waved their handkerchiefs, they danced and jumped and rolled on the ground, they sang and screamed and shouted and roared, till the whole surface of the place seemed to be one grin of delight." The demonstration concluded with a chorus from the negro girls, "De bissop is come! De bissop is come! He is coming to marry us, coming to marry us all."—London Chronicle. Severe, Rectangular Building at Sixth and B Streets, Occupied by Fisheries Bureau. That severe, rectangular building with the old-fashioned roof standing at the corner of Sixth and B streets southwest, which a relatively small number of persons still call the armory, but which is generally called the fish commission building and which for a long time has been occupied by the bureau of fisheries, actually was an armory. Looking at it closely, a man will probably note that the lines follow rather faithfully those of orthodox military architecture despite a number of changes that have been made in the building. It is a grim-looking structure of brick, red now, but it has been other colors. It is three windows wide on the east front, and there is a good width of wall outside the first and third windows. On the ground floor is a wide door. On the north side the building is seven windows wide, and on the ground floor are three wide double doors. Inside are many things of interest connected with the fisheries industry of the world in general and of the United States in particular, and the aquarium is one of the show places of the capital. But the old armory in Armory square comes rightfully by its title. Back in 1888 the fact that the fish commission building was generally called by old residents "the armory," suggested to General Ordway, then in command of the National Guard of the District of Columbia, that it might be profitable to examine into the history of the building. He found that it was erected under a provision of the sundry civil appropriation act of 1855 "For the care and preservation of the ordnance, arms and accoutrements of the United States required for the use of the volunteers and militia of the District of Columbia, the building to be used by the volunteers and militia of the District of Columbia under such regulations as may be prescribed by the president." "For several years it was occupied by the District of Columbia National Guard battalion. There is a record that at the first inauguration of President Lincoln the United States engineer battalion from Willets Point was quartered there. IT WAS REAL MAN'S FACE Picture Two Visitors to the National Museum Saw, but Could Not Place. At the National museum there is the picture of a man. The face is that of an American in that it is a composite of the types that go to the making of an American. The body is covered with a nondescript blue garment, but it can no more rob the face of its world nationality than Greenough's toga can change George Washington into a senator of old Rome. Two men were standing before the picture, and this is what they were saying between them: "Looks like a man I came across once—when I was building that bridge in Canada. I woke up one night with a crazy notion that my figures were wrong, and it put me in such a cold sweat that I jumped out of bed and took the train for Montreal for expert help. Well, sir, I was in such a panic that a man in the next seat saw something was wrong and somehow got it out of me. And it didn't take him ten minutes to show me I was right. Jove! I'll never forget that man as long as I live—looks enough like him to be his own portrait." "Yes, it's an intellectual face, but too modern for traditional conceptions. It lacks the spiritual sweetness of—" "That's what I like about it. It's a man's face." The two went away and a woman behind got close enough to the painting to read its gilt title: OLD CORNER STONE FOUND Marked Southern Boundary of District of Columbia—Ceremonies Held 1719. A "Report on the Finding of the Southern Cornerstone of the District of Columbia" was read by Fred E. Woodward before the Columbia Historical society at the Washington club the other night. In which the speaker described how through his efforts this landmark, which is located at Jones' Point lighthouse below Alexandria, Va., was uncovered to the light of day for the first time since 1861. Mr. Woodward read an account from an old Boston newspaper of the ceremonies attending the erection of this southern cornerstone of the District, which took place April 15, 1791, when David Carroll and David Stewart were commissioners. In 1855, continued the speaker, the government erected a lighthouse at Jones' Point, and in 1861 a retaining seawall was built, hiding the stone from view. A few years ago the wooden steps leading to the lighthouse were washed away, bringing to light the corner stone, which had been hidden under the front gateway under the front steps. In June, 1912, Lieut. Col. Langley, of the United States engineer corps, broke an opening into the retaining wall, where the corner stone was imbedded and constructed a concrete niche around the landmark, thus protecting it from damage. Mr. Woodward recommended that the United States government purchase the land upon which the corner stone is located and that a bronze tablet or an inscription mark the historic spot. SECOND TORNADO HITS NEBRASKA HUNDREDS FLEE FOR LIVES AS STORM STRIKES ALMOST SAME PLACE AS FIRST. 25 DEAD, AND 100 HURT SEWARD WRECKED; McCOOL JC, TAMARO, LUSHTON, GRAFTON, AND UTICA DESTROYED. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Omaha, Neb., May 15.—The second ternado of the year struck Omaha at 7 o'clock last night and partially wrecked a score of homes in practically the same district that was devastated by the storm on Easter day. The storm swept a path a mile wide and over one hundred miles long. Seward, Neb., about a hundred miles from this city, was partially destroyed by the tornado. Eleven are known to have been killed and a score are missing. The injured will number fifty. Tomaro, twelve miles west of Seward, and McCool Junction, fifteen miles southwest of Seward, were entirely wiped out. Four are reported killed and many injured at Tomaro, and at McCool Junction it is rumored ten were killed and eighteen injured. Both of these towns are completely cut off from the world and it is feared even greater loss of life may have resulted. The towns of Lushton, Grafton and Utica are reported wrecked, but no news can be had from them, and the number of dead and injured is not known. The storm struck this city in the southwest portion, unroofed and partially wrecked numerous houses. Hundreds of residents, remembering all too well the first storm of the year, fled in terror to their cellars and other places of refuge. Three inches of rainfall fell in the downtown district. From Gmalia the storm passed into Iowa, where, its fury spent, it resolved itself into a downpour of rain. Boxing, "Blue Sky" and Boycott Measures Disapproved by Governor. Denver, May 15.—Governor Ammons by signing one and vetoing five bills, and announcing his determination to permit one, the racing bill, to become a law without his signature, created a precedent by disposing finally of the 187 measures passed by the Nineteenth General Assembly within twenty-four hours of the time limit set by law. The bills vetoed were: An act to create a state boxing commission and permit ten-round contests. The "blue sky law" for supervision and regulation of investment companies during the promotion stage. An act to tax all incomes over $5,000. An act to repeal the law adopted several years ago to prevent labor boycots. The adult probation bill giving judges the power to release on probation persons found guilty of any crime except that of first degree murder, first degree assault, arson and highway robbery. The racing bill, which provides for the creation of a commission to supervise the sport and to permit racing at fairs for purses, will, unless referred to and killed by the people, become a law ninety days from today. Wires Bryan and President He Will Back Legislature Despite Protest. Washington.—With Governor Johnson's announcement that he would sign the California alien land bill in spite of the federal administration's appeal for a veto on account of the Japanese protest, it now becomes necessary for the State Department to determine whether it *will proceed with the negotiations with the Japanese government on the basis of defending and sustaining the right of the Californian to deprive the Japanese of the right to hold real property, or whether it shall concede that the act violates the spirit if not the letter of the treaty with Japan and attempt to find means of nullifying it.

Are any of your friends engaged? If so, why not make them some pretty sachets for an engagement gift? They are always appreciated and can easily be made. Purchase a quantity of satin ribbon two inches in width. The shops offer many bargains in ribbons at this season. Cut the sachets in squares, pad them with cotton and sprinkle with sachet powder. Then whipstitch the edges together. Stack a dozen of these together and tie with baby ribbon. On top place a flat bow ornamented with tiny rosebuds made from ribbon. An eighth of a yard of half-inch ribbon is required for each rose and they are formed by swirling the ribbon round and round a center. Follage may be made from green silk to accompany these roses if desired. This is a charming gift for the graduate.

Even if there were no lasting effects from it, which there are, a weared look in a woman's face adds nothing to her charm. Rather, it is as the appearance of a faded flower compared with that of a fresh one. The muscles and muscular tissues become gradually weak and show themselves with particular perversity in ugly rings and bags about the eyes, in a lengthening of the lines between the nose and the mouth, and a general sagging. Fatigue, too, has a direct effect upon the stomach muscles, causing them to sag also, and become unable to work properly, and this, in turn, reflects upon the complexion, rendering it sallow and eventually blotched. So, I say, avoid fatigue. Rest whenever you can. Whatever the routine of your day may be, it is possible for you to snatch a moment, or, at least, a second or two, here and there, of complete relaxation. Take a long breath and relax, then go on at tension if necessary, but it is rarely, very rarely, necessary, and there is a point to be made much of. Resist tension. Bathe the tired face in cold water. It stimulates circulation, and brings relief, at least to one's feelings, even if its effect does not go very far beneath the surface. Hot water followed by a cold dash is also refreshing and especially is to be recommended to the woman of nervous temperament. A few drops of camphor in ice water makes an excellent lotion for the rejuvenation of the tired face muscles, but it should be followed by the application of a good face cream. Remove the cream with a dry, soft cloth and behold, you feel like a new woman. Of Black Charmuse The feature of the skirt lifted by means of a few plaits is as universal now as the train. On a lovely afternoon dress of black charmeuse the skirt was thus lifted beneath three very large jet buttons, and the fullness was looped round towards the back in graceful folds. The corsage of this gown had a very elegant sailor collar of fine lace and revers of the same in front, making a charming little heart-shaped opening, which just revealed the collar and guimpe of fine net. A flat waistband of the same silk with long fringed ends covered the union of skirt and corsage. The sleeves were long, and set well below the turn of the shoulder with a piped seam. Novel Tramming. A novel trimming is little padded flowers, which are cut out of velvet broche ribbon with a sharp pair of scissors, and are appliqued to the straw of the hat, a small mound of cotton beneath bringing the flower into relief. In the case of a hat of black pedal straw, the round crown was covered all over with decoupe and padded rosebuds in velvet broche. CUT IN APPROPRIATIONS GOVERNOR SLASHES HALF MILLION OFF MEASURES. Vetoes Lying-in Hospital Bill With Act for Testing Plant at Mines School. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Governor Ammons worked late in considering the remaining appropriation bills and disposed of nearly all of them. Most of the bills were trimmed. At the beginning of his administration he declared that he would sign no bills unless there was revenue in sight to pay them. It is the intention of the chief executive to stick to this rule. To come within his estimate of the revenues, Governor Ammons trimmed all of the appropriation bills presented. It is estimated that the total revenue for the ensuing biennial period will aggregate $2,900,000. Appropriation bills approved amount to $2,865,850, and the Gunnison Normal and the Girls' Industrial school bills are yet to be taken up. In the bill providing for the insane asylum the governor cut the maintenance from $145,000 to $130,000, and also disapproved the item of $5,000 for boring an artesian well. Forty thousand dollars for buying additional farm lands was disapproved; also $17,500 for a new laundry, $10,000 for moving cottages to the land which it was proposed to buy, and cut the item of $2,500 for laundry equipment to $1,000; $15,000 for hydro-therapeutic plant. The disposition of bills acted upon follows: Appropriation Bills Approved Appropriation Bills Approved. H. B. 4—State reformatory, $115,500; cut from $123,500. S. B. 104—Industrial school, $147,000; cut from $162,000. S. B. 157—State penitentiary, $214,000; cut from $223,000. S. B. 231—Soldiers and Sailors' home, $57,500. S.

B. 163—Normal school, Greeley, $26,700. S. B. 235—State university at Boulder, $150,000; cut from $190,000. Bills Vetoed. S. B. 71—For an appropriation of $40,000 for an ore testing plant at the School of Mines in Golden. Insufficient funds is given as reason for the veto. S. B. 105—Making it unlawful to maintain any hospital or lying-in hospital without having first obtained a license from the state board of health, excepting in cities acting under a special charter and having a local board of health. Barber Beats Wife. Then Mother. 81. Pueblo.—Harry Walbridge, a Bessemer barber, whipped his wife 'until her mother, aged eighty-one, and crippled, came to her rescue. He turned his attack upon the old woman, witnesses declared in Police Court, and struck her flush in the face with his fist, knocking her down and inflicting painful injuries, which may prove fatal owing to her advanced age. "I am only sorry that I cannot send you to the penitentiary for 300 years instead of fining you only $300," said Magistrate R. A. Crossman, in imposing sentence. Boy Burned to Death in Cinders. Colorado Springs.—After thirty-six hours of agony, Louis DeMarco, aged six, died at Glocker sanitarium from burns received in a pile of red hot cinders. Boulder Will Graduate 216. Boulder—The University of Colorado will give diplomas next month to 216 undergraduate students and to twenty graduate students. In the college of liberal arts ninety-nine persons will receive diplomas, college of engineering forty-two, school of medicine fifty-one, school of pharmacy one, and school of law twenty-three.

Dog Saves Woman's Life. Fort Lupton.—As William Dammann sat on his wife's chest with a loaded revolver at her head, ready to pull the trigger, their pet dog dashed in and barked. This so angered Dammann that he rose and pursued the animal and his wife escaped. Returning to the kitchen and find her gone Dammann blew out his own brains. Doctor School President.

It must be remembered that William T. Da. voren was one of the directors of our city’s affairs for eight years when we had « business administration, when we had the full dinner pail; when our city was enjoying prosperity, and many of our business men are patiently such men as W. T. Davoren's calibre to place Denver back in the prosperity colunt., ‘The Colorado Statesman appeals to its readers to consider these few facts; we have had enough of this “school-boy play; let’s get down to business and let Denver revive, and the only logical conclusion is to cast your vote for W. T. Davoren, a man who is known to everybody as both a capable man and a man with the experience to conduct the affairs of the city, and at the sume time a man who is broad-minded enough to respect the rights of one and al! in a liberal way. At the same time it should be borne in mind that he is entitled to the support of all fair-minded and liberal-minded residents of Denver, and when the returns are all in May 20th it will be found that W. T. Davoren will be our new commissioner of finance. FOR AUDITOR JAMES B.

JOHNSON (Former Mayor of Denver) Candidate es : for ommissioner of Property We call the attention of our readers to some of the things done by Henry V. Johnson when Mayor of Denver: By the passage of the Lacombe eleciric light franchise I reduced the cost of your electric light bills from 18 cents per kilowatt to 9 cents per kilowatt, thus saving you 50 per cent on these bills ever since. By the same ordi- nance | reduced the cost of arc lights from $105 to $70 per light per year, thus saving the city $35,000 for every thousand are lights for the past twelve years. ; T obtained the ordinance réquiring street cars to be heated and fenders and yestibules to be attached to street cars. Also the ordinance changing the old cable, cars and horse car lines into electric lines. By this ordinance the city was paid $105,000 the first year, universal transfers on all lines, chil- dren under 6 years carried free and from 6 to 12 years at half price. By an appropriation of 311,000 I built the city market on the city's own ground and the first year I collected $8,500 in rents and saved the $3,000 paid each theretofore as ground rent at Twenty-third and Welton. I secured the building of the pumping plant at City Park, whereby the city used its own water from its own lake and diteh, thereby saving about $10,000 per year for the last twelve years. By the City co-operating with certain generous men of Denver, 1 com- menced the building of the museum at City Park. 1 believe the city’s business should be conducted with energy, honesty and economy, but not penurfously. Whenever holding public office my sole aim has been to render the best and most efficient service possible.
