After a tribute to Colorado and Its
citizens, ex-Governor Adams said:
"After one hundred years given 'to
cutting their own forests, corralling
their water powers and despoiling
their coal treasures, our Eastern
brothers are especially vigorous in
demanding that the national govern
ment stop the waste and vandalism
of the West. It Is a survival of the
old Yankee spirit which a generation
ago originated Indian societies for the
protection and reformation and salva
tion of the Indians of the West. Read
ing Romola and their Bible, they
prayed 'poor Lo' might be saved from
the rapacity and cruelty of the front
iersman. "So far the battle has waged

CHAVEZ HAS RELAPSE

Domodossola, Sept. 26. Fear that
that George Chavez, the aviator, who
flew across the Alps last week for the
first tlmo in history, and who fell
with his machine near Domodossola,
will not recover, was expressed today
by physicians attending him.
A consultation of physicians has
bpen hastily called and Chavez' con
dition is reported critical.
'; When the accident occurred Chavez
was believed to bo fatally hurt. He
was taken to a hospital and revived,
and It was said ho would recover.

1 Mormons 'Oppose Prohibition
r -
Oguen, Utah, Sept. 26.
With the, slogan 'Liquor Regula-
tlon as OppoBed' to State-Wide
Prohibition Favored by the
Democrats," the Republican
state convention opened hero
today.. Senator Reed Smoot was V
elected temporary chairman
and spoke In favor of conserva-
tlve regulation of the liquor traf-
fic. Ho also reviewed the effects
of tho Payne tariff law, and de-
clared that it hadtproved a bene
fit to tho country.'
The convention is practically
"standpat," a few Insurgents be-
ing In the field. Joseph Howell,

doubly strong, they say, because it
not only charges the physician with
performing an operation that caused
the girl's death, but shows that Dr.
Thompson knew 10 days before her
death that she could not survive and
that he made preparations for the
disposition ot tho body several days
before death occurred.
Miss Messerschmldt's confession
was obtained after it had been de
spaired of. She broke down wheu
shown a photograph of her mother,
now dead, and the confession fol
lowed. Miss Messerschmidt blamed
Paul Parker for the girl's condition,
according to the police. Parker Is
kept under surveillance.
Tile police have as yet been una
ble to locate Willie Saack, assistant
to the accused physician, who will
be an important witness if he is not
made an accessory to the crime. A
man answering his description is be
ing held by the police at Everett.
Wash., pending final Identification.
Parker was examined today by
District Attorney Flckert and detec
tive Sergeant Wren, . but failed to
throw much light on the case.
Parker said ho know the girl's
condition and called on her while
she was under .the care of Dr.
Thompson, but didn't know of her
death. "
According to M'ss Messerschmldt'fe,
confession, the girl was alone when
she died. Her body was found the
next morning by Dr. Thompson, who
then sawed It up and packed It away
In the trunk In which It was re
moved to 'he cottage In Burek.v
street. He didn't bury it in the
yard, she said, because it was moon
light.
The inquest will bo held by tho
coroner tomorrow. -No arrangement
has yet. been made by relatives of
the dead girl for the disposition of
her body, although Henry Swan, an
uncle, called yesterday at thd
morgue. Coroner Walsh says he
will retain the teeth of the corpse In
case any question of identity arises
at some future date.
