DENVER, Colo., June 19.—A sensation
was sprung in the public lands convention
today by charges made by both the ad
ministration and the anti-administration
forces that the convention was being
packed. The anti-administration men
charged that a number of persons who
were not properly accredited delegates,
had been given seats. An order was
made to Issue new cards of admission
and to see that only genuine delegates
receive them. When the committee on
credentials reported, it was found that 456
delegates were accredited to Colorado.
146 to Wyoming and that other States had
scarcely 100. Colorado’s representation
was later cut down to S96, It being stated
that the first firures were an error In
addition. It developed that all Colorado's
accredited delegates, whether present or
not, had been counted, while in the case
of other States, only those present were
allowed to vote.
The report was sent back to the com

1,000 MEN MAKING
STRONG PORT OF OCOS
MEXICO CITY. June 19—Guatemala
has one thousand men employed In
building fortifications at the port of
Ocos and is making that point the
strongest fortified port In all Central
America, according to the statement of
R. Sol. a coffee plantation owner of
Salvador, who recently arrived In
Mexico City from that country.
Mr. Sol states that the Government
of Guatemala has pressed all the la
borers obtainable to work on the for
tifications and that as a result it is
difficult to move the launches, barges
and small boats that operate along tho
coast
Fortifications are being erected not
alone on the coast cities, but deep
trenches are being built and machine
guns and cannons are mounted along
the frontier at Ocos.

WASHINGTON, June 19.—A dis

now at Yorktown, Va., reporting the
drowning at sea on June 17, of Cadet
George R. Ratnel. who fell overboard
from the quarter deck rail, and did not
catch the life bouy or rope that were
thrown within his reach. The life fooat
was immediately cleared away, but
Cadet Ramel sank when 8t reached

Ramel was appointed a cadet in the

made to do the world's rough work.
It shall be the problem of educated
men in this century to spiritualize
these material things that they may
work for alf and not for a few.
“The stir in our world politics that
is felt in every American town and
county, the earnest striving among
educated men and women for distri
buting justice. Is an instinctive at

new reformation is world wide; It is
a quickening; of conscience, a war
against greed and for the legislation
and establishment of kindness on the
earth—the kindness that makes hap
piness.
“If our free schools and our col
leges and universities do not teach
man the economic value of kindness,
then these institutions merely turn
upon soeietv each year, a horde of
arme£ vandals to work for the des
truction of society. Western civili
zation Is In just as much danger from
the vandals In high hats as it Is from
the Huns in red shirts. For the van
dals and the Huns are equally ignor
ant of God's basic law of kindness.
And their presence in the world makes
men who would be happy by being
kind and generous and helpful, in the
routine or ordinary business, like men
who roam unarmed in a savage wood,
and pay with their lives theprice of
the broad humanity. The school that
does not teach its students the duty
of man to man that does not implant
deeply in its graduates a working
wisdom in fundamental human law of
kindness, instead of being a blessing
that school is a curse upon any peo
ple.

has he more culture more of Heaven's

which Implies a broad democracy
wherein at some small point men are

the name, should bo the bellows that
make- the divine spark within each
soul glow into a torch to light his fel

colleges turn out nothing more con
siderable than good citizens. Your good
citizen obeys the laws, conforms to tho
amenities, worships whatever God
there be, and lets it go at that. He
does not get under the load of the
world and lift. He is a dummy direc
tor who fails to realize that he is »

He does not see that until he turns
out to the caucuses and primaries and
conventions and -mass meetings and
makes his protest felt, the thieves that
inhabit tho Jericho road will keep right
on assailing the weak robbing the poor
and threatening the welfare of society.
If he has a light it is not only hidden
under a bushel, but the bushel is nailed
down and cleated to the floor. One of
the curses of this country is the large
class of so-called ‘good-citizens’ who.
because they have book learning and
well fitting clothes, are looked tii’on
as leaders. Better is a Government of

BOISE, Idaho, June 19.—The State
today made dramatic production and
proof of the Goddard bomb, and beside
offering further contributiofts to the
testimony of Harry Orchard against
Wm. D. Haywood, secured a ruling
under which a number of the denun
ciatory articles published in the Min
ers' Magazine, official organ of the
Western Federation of Miners, will be
admitted in evidence.
To Justice Goddard himself, fell the
task of telling the story of the finding
and preservation of the bomb with
which Orchard tried to kill him. His
appearance added to the dramatic
scenes and situations that have char
acterized the trial. His testimony was
clear • and minutely comprehensive.
The veteran Colorado Jurist testified
that the first information that he re
ceived about the bomb came to him
from Orchard's confession, which was
shown to him at Denver, February 13.
1906, by Detective McPartland. He at
once returned to his home, and in the
gate discovered the screw eye which
Orchard said he placed there. It was
rusted and corroded by ten months ex
posure. The witness said he examin
ed the ground outside the gate where
Orchard said he placed the bomb, and
found a slight depression with the soil
packed around it.
Bomb Was Dug Up.
Besides confirming Orchard’s recital
as to time, movements and locations,
she testified that she found lead and
wood shavings in Orchard’s room and
a screw eye, string and bottle attach
ed to tho closet door where Orchard
had been experimenting. She said
her lodger had a very heavy suit case
and that she thought he was an in
ventor.
John L. Stearns, agent at Denver,
for the Mutual Life Insurance Co-
confirmed the story Orchard told about
securing employment as a solicitor for
the company before he went to Can
yon City to kill former Governor
Peabody, and produced letters of re
commendation which Orchard furnish
ed in response to his request.
Pettibone Was Jocular.
One of the letters was from Geo.
Pettibone. a co-defendant of Hay
wood, and it made jocular reference
to the fact that Stearns was taking
many agents from him, and request
ed in future when any of his agents
applied for work they be put out on
tho side walk. Another letter was
signed by Horace N. Hawkins, partner
of Attorney Richardson of the defense,
and it gave Orchard then traveling
under the name of Thomas Hogan, a
strong recommendation as.40 charac
ter.
The defense objected to the letters,
but the court permitted their intro
duction. Rawley Harris, a young man
who worked for Roach, the plumber,
who made the lead casing for the Pea"
body bomb, told of the call of Harry
Orchard at Roach’s shop in Denver in
May, 1905, of the making of the cas
ing and of the delivery of the article
to Orchard, whom the witness iden
tified.
The morning session was spent in
securing the admissibility of the edi
torials which the State offered yes
terday. Each side took the Chicago
Anarchist case as Its legal side and
justification, the defense pleading that
the legal prosecution varied, the prose
cution that they were on all-fours.
