Pearsons, president of the Colorado live stock association, were in the carriage with him. The procession went through the principal streets to the reviewing stand in Broadway, near Seventeenth street. During the entire distance of the line of march, two miles and a half, the EiaewaJks were packed with a solid mass of people, who pressed at tne rpes which had been put up to keep them from the streets and were kept back only by the constant efforts or mounted policemen, cowboys and cavalrymen. From the time the parade startea until, it ended there was an uninterrupted of welcoming shouts from the multitude. The cowboys gave their veil, whistles were tooted and bells "were rung.

Colonel, Roosevelt was kept on his feet, bowing to the right and left in acknowledgement of tne salutations. Streets a Mast of Color. The streets were a mass of colors. From the buildings flags and bunting were hung out, and on ropes suspended across the streets banners were hung with pictures of Colonel Roosevelt and the words, "Welcome, Teddy, ana "De-e-lighted." The parade, starting at the union Etatlon, passed under the welcome arch up Seventh street to Lawrence street to Sixteenth, to California, to Fourteenth, to Cleveland Place, to Sixteenth street, to Glenarm, to Seventh street, to Chap, to Eighteenth and then turned into Broadway to the reviewing stand. During the last mile of the parade, the first two divisions dropped out of line and stood at attention as Colonel Roosevelt, who headed the third division, passed by.

From the reviewing stand the colonel reviewed the remainder of the parade. The first division consisted of United States troops from Fort Logan and the national guard of Colorado. In the second division came the Spanish war veterans, who are holding their national encampment here, the army of the Philippines and veterans of the foreign service. In the third division Colonel Roosevelt rode, -escorted by a division of the Ropse- rough riders, in their familiar uniforms of khaki and the Cdlorado sheriff's association.

Mr. HooHCvelt DUcrfonen National nd State Authority. DENVER, Aug. bo- fore trie Colorado legislature today of the division of authority in legislative matters between the state and national governments.

Colonel Roosevelt said: "I am anxious that the nation and the state shall exercise its legitimate powers to the fullest degree. When necessary they should work together, but above all they should not leave a neutral ground in which neither state or nation can exercise authority which would become a place of refuge for men who wish to act criminally, and especially for the very rich men who wish to act against the interests of the whole. community a president. As the parade and Tremont streets the horse ridden hv H. Williams of Delta, one j.1_TM Wn of the "body guard of the sheriffs, became- frightened and Williams' revolver was jolted from his holster.

The gun exploded as it fell to tho ground "Williams was riding behind Colonel Roosevelt, and for a moment the police feared an attempt had been made to assassinate the former president. The bullet struck Williams In the leg, hut did not wound him seriously. He was lifted from his horse and the parade went on. Standing in the Intense neat ot the sun Colonel Roosevelt reviewed the parade" with the greatest interest. When a band approached him playing "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" the Colonel beat time with both hands and nodded approvingly to the band leader.

the Tenth cavalry passed the colonel carefully noted the form In which the men were drawn up and Let me illustrate what I mean by reference to two concrete cases. The first is the Knight sugar trust case. In that the supremo court of the United States, under cover of a man whose interest is chiefly in the sane constructive stewardship wnich can onlv be called a highly technical legal subtlety, handed down a decision which rendered it exceedingly difficult for the nation effectively to control the use of masses of corporate capital in isterstate business, as the nation was obviously the sole power that could exercise this control (for it was quite beyond the power of any one state). This was really a decision rendering It exceedingly difficult for the people to devise any method of controlling and regulating the business use of great capital in Interstate commerce. It was a decision nominally against national rights, but really against popular rights.

"The second case Is the so-called New York bake shop case. In New York city, as in most large cities, the baking business is likely to be carried on under unhygienic conditions, conditions which tell on the welfare of the workers, and therefore on the welfare of the general public. The New York legislature passed and the New York governor signed a bill remedying these Improper conditions. New York state was the only body that could, deal with them; the nation had no power whatever in the on information which to them seemed ample and sufficient; acting in the Interest of the public and in accordance with the demands of the public, the only governmental authority having affirmative power in the matter, the governor and the mayor of New took the action which they deemed necessary, after what inquiry and study was needed to satisfy them as to the conditions and as to the remedy. governor and the legislature alone "had the affirmative power to remedy the abuse.

But the supreme court of the United States possessed and unfortunately exercised the negative power of not permitting the abuse to be remedied. By a flve to four vote 'they declared the action in the state of New York unconstitutional, because, forsooth, that men must not be deprived of their lib- ertv' to work under unhygienic conditions They were, of course, themselves powerless to make the remotest attempt to provide a remedy for a wrong which undoubtedly existed, and their refusal to permit action by the state did not confer any power'upon the nation to act. "In effect, it reduced to Impotence the only body which did have power, ao that in this case, the decision al- thouKh nominally against states rights, was really against popular rights; against the domestic principle of government under the forms of be, if you make rapid progrens in the wrong direction you will merely have. to undo it before you get along." by An unqualified endorsement Theodore Roosevelt was given today by Governor Shafroth of Colorado and Mayor Speer of Denver both of whom are democrats. endorsement -waa given in the presence of thousands of and women, assembled in the-great auditorium that was the scene of tlie last democratic national convention.

t'The great majority of republicans throushout the west and many democrats will not be silent until they see you at the helm of this great nation," declared Mayor Speer in addressing Colonel Roosevelt. "You are loved because you are not controlled, you are independent, and your honesty of purpose appeals to the heart. Your courage has made your opponents wonder what you will do next." Governor Shafroth was hardly less enthusiastic in his reference to the visitor. These references to Colonel Roosevelt just before his presentation to the' great audience called forth a demonstration resembling that given a successful candidate at a national convention.

Ho made a marked effort to show attention to the notional Indian war veterans and the- old-time cowboys' association. Quickly taking off his hat when members of the Grand Army appeared, Colonel Roosevelt left the automobile from which he viewed the pnrade and into the street shook htmds with the veterans. When' the Inst organization had passed by Colonel Roosevelt entered the Brown Palace hotel, the big lobby of which resounded with the cheering in which a large number of women joined heartily. Ho went to his room preparatory to going to Overland park where a chuck vragon lunch was served by the Denver press club. Trip With the Sheriffs.

After a brief rest in his room In the hotel Mr. Roosevelt proceeded to Overland park, five miles from the city In an automobile. He was escorted by the members of the Colorado sheriffs' association on horseback. The sheriffs, in their blue uniforms, presented a picturesque A crowd of several thousand persons had been assembled at Overland park, a picturesque wooded place to the south of the city. In the middle of the park a corral was roped off.

Homebnclc Ride Across One of Chief Attractions. CHEYENNE, Aug.

President Roosevelt's stay in Cheyenne came to a close eariy this morning. He left on a special train at 7:30 o'clock for Denver. Before he left the colonel said that his two days In Cheyenne had been a delight to him and that he was sorry to leave. Colonel Roosevelt said that his ride across the plains yesterday afternoon, and the supper at Pole Creek ranch was one of the most pleasant experiences he had ever had. He rode thirty-four miles, and said that he could have made it a.

hundred. R. S. Vantassel, a veteran ranchman, furnished the mounts and rode with the colonel, as did James R. Garfleld of Cleveland, ex-secretary of the interior; Winthrop Chandler of Geneseo, N.

and ex-Governor Barber. During the ride, a. heavy rain storm came up and the horsemen galloped to a shack a mile They were wet to the akin and when at last they reached the shack they found it locked. Mr. Vantassel forced the door and they went in.

The place was in possession of a large family of mice. The party spent three-quarters of an hour there'. When the shower was over they started for Pole Creek ranch. The last mile's ride was a race. It was down hill most of the way and the horses lunged along over the trail at a terrific pace.

As they came over the crest of the hill, their figures silhouetted against the darkening sky, the men at the ranch house who were waiting for them set up a wild shout. "Come on, Teddy," the cowboys called Colonel Roosevelt, who was riding third, urged his horse on, and gradually forged into lead. The pace was too hot for Mr. Garfield and Dr Barber and they fell behind, but Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. Vantassel and Mr.

Chanler fought it out to the end. Spurring their horses on, they thundered down the hill and into the camp almost neck and neck. Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Vantassel ran a dead heat, with Mr. Chanler a few feet behind.

The colonel was puffing a bit as he dismounted but said he was not a bit tired. Senator Warren, who owns Pole Creek ranch, led the party into the ranch house for supper. Governor Brooks and State Senator Stone were among the guests. A game dinner was served, and when someone askeu the-colonel how he liked it, he said: "You are giving me a very fine three dinners." Two more courses came after tnat and he finally protested that the things that were served to each man Rentnnded (or and Neither AMked to Plead--Inspec- tor Dew Evidence DentUt. LONDON, Aug.

Hawley H. Crippen, the American doctor, and Ethel Clare Leneve, his typist, were accused of the murder of Belle Bluiore, the former's wife. In the formal charge read to them in. the Bow street police court today. Miss Leneve was charged also with" harboring and maintaining after the crime and while knowing: that he committed it.

During the proceedings Inspector Dew, who brought the prisoners back from Canada, introduced evidence to show that Crippen contemplated committing while at sea, following his flight from this country. Crippen was quoted also as declaring that his companion knew nothing of the trouble in which he was involved and Miss Leneve. was said to have protested her Innocence. There was special interest In the character of the formal charge, as the Canadian warrant for the arrest of tha fugitives had merely laid at their door responsibilty for the death of an unknown woman whose body was founc in the cellar of the Crippen home at Hilldi-Qp Crescent. The tact that both were today accused of the murder o) Belle Elmore, the actress wife of the doctor, leads to the supposition thai the mutilated body has been identified to the satisfaction of the authorities.

It also suggests that tho police believe they have further evidence concerning Miss Leneve's connection with the tragedy than they have made known heretofore. Not Called Upon To Plead. Today's proceedings consisted of the introduction of evidence against the prisoners on the conclusion of which they were remanded until September 6 without having pleaded or made any comment in reply to the charge agains' them. Few persons except those connectec with the case were permitted in the police court, although a crowd as sembled in the neighborhood in th hope of catching sight of the prisoners Crippen and Miss Leneve stood to gether in the dock. He wore a grey frock suit, while his companion wa dressed in a tailor-made suit of blue.

Crippen then said: "When you took me off the ship (at Quebec) I did not ee Miss Leneve. I don't know how hings will go. They may go all right; hey may go all -wrong. may never ee her again, and I want to ask you let me see her.

I won't speak to her. She has been my only comfort or the last three years." Crippen was allowed to see his companion in trouble. Ar this point Solicitor Newton ques- ioned the witness and drew out the itatement that his client had through- jut been perfectly calm and collected and had given no trouble to those who lad him in custody.

WH- iam, at a dinner tonight in the castle at Marienburg, the old seat of the knights of Malta, given in his honor by the dignitaries of the province of Vest Prussia, made a speech which was a.

counterpart of that delivered ast week Koenigsburg. Taking up the religious vein of the Koenigsburg speech, which his majesty evidently regarded as having- been misunderstood by the press, he said: "When I represented myself, like my sainted grandfather, as being under the protection of the highest and working under the highest commission of our Lord and God, I assumed that every honest Christian, whoever he might be, did the same. Whoever works in this spirit knows well that the cross imposes obligations. We should hold together in brotherly love and we should leave to each race its peculiarities.

Colonel Roosevelt's departure from Cheyenne was entirely informal. Senator Warren and a few of the colonel's friends were at the station to see him off, but there was no popular gathering.

The colonel was standing near the car when the tram started to move off, and there was a general scrambling to get aboard, in whscn he joined. He boarded the train as it was beginning to gain speed. The flrst stop was made at Greeloy, Col where he was greeted with cries of "Hello, Teddy."

In the midst of his talk, the train drew out. and there was a chorus of good byes. One little woman in black risked injury by a fall in her eagerness to shake hands with the colonel, who at first attempted to wave her off, and then reached down and took her hand It was the onlj handshake at Greeley and the little woman was evidently very proud of her distinction. At La Salle a small crowd of men, most of whom were workmen about the place, listened to a brief talk. Dew Describes the Arrests.

Inspector Dew'briefly described the arrests on steamer Montrose as the vessel, at Quebec, where he took Crippen into custody. The latter said: "I am not sorry. My anxiety has been too much." Dew said that he told Crippen that he must put him in handculfs "as you have written that you intended jumping overboard." Crippen replied: "I will not do that. My anxiety has been top awful." Explaining his suspicion that the fugitive had planned to commit suicide the inspector exhibited to the court a business card, on one side of which were the words: Robinson Michigan, presented by John B. Robin- This card was found among Crippen's effects and on the back oE it, apparently in the doctor's handwriting, were the following: "I cannot stand the horror I go through every night any longer and as I see nothing bright ahead and my journey is coming to an end, I have made up my mind to jump overboard tonight I know I have spoiled your life, but some day you may learn to forgive me- My last words are of love." Dew also introduced a torn piece of a card on which Crippen had written this question: "Shall we wait unti tonight about 10 or 11? If not.

These forests are probably the finest in the world, arid all are patented. Many homesteaders have located claims, and though all were warned by the association, it Is improbable that all headed the advice. Rains yesterday greatly assisted the men who have been fighting the fires west and none of the big timber forests of this state are in danger. The fires have made much land available for agriculture. Counting Up the Cost.

Expert cruisers in Spokane, who are now compiling reports from the burned districts in Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Montana, estimate that the recent forest fires destroyed or more than 760,000,000 feet ot timber in the four states. Converted into merchantable lumber it is estimated this timber would have supplied building material for the construction of from 50,000 to 55,000 four and five-room cottages, or enough to house the entire -population of any city in the four states named. To reduce this timber to commercial uses would ikeep 400 sawmills busy from five to six months, while at the present cost of cutting and marketing an army of skilled and ordinary laborers would have received $7,500,000 in wages.

There Is every probability that wrapi for evening wear wlii be as voluminous and ornamental during the coming au- tumn and winter as they were in sprint.

A cerise cloth mantle, recently brought from Paris for carriage wear over light theater frocks, had one of those deep rellgleuse collars, to which are attached the full, gathered breadths which form the body of the mantle.

From the knee down these full breadths are confined under a deep, straight band of cerise velvet, and the four buttons which fasten the yoke are of the velvet with loops of cerise satin in lieu of button- holes. Only the very handsomest grades ot satin may be employed for the softly draped mantles. Cheap, stiff satin" is abominable when used in would-be draped effect, and it is far wiser to have one's mantle of rich wool material, if satin of the best kind cannot be afforded, than to attempt a rich effect with a poor material. There are new, wool- backed satins which are as warm as any serge or homespun fabric, and many of the autumn street' suits are being turned out in -this wool-backed satin, which tailors are cleverly and correctly as wool itself.

The black lace wrap is rather mature in character for the very young woman, but there is a stately dignity and distinction about these lace mantles which make them eminently well suited to the dowager.

Couer d'Alene timber protectice association, says that while the loss of life has not been as large as the dispatches have indicated, he estimates the timber loss In that portion of northern Idaho is not less than 500 000,000 feet.

James P. McGoldrick of Spokane, "president of the western pine manufacturers' association, Relieves the fire losses in Idaho have been greatly exaggerated, though he admits the probably is the worst in the history of the Pacific northwest. "According to recent estimates, there was 350,000,000,000 feet of standing timber in the forests," Mr. McGoldrick said. "The lumber interests have been hit hard and the losses are enormous, but I am of the opinion that many of the reports sent out were gross exaggerations.

Of course, I do not believe this was intentional on the part of the newspaper correspondents." Officers of the western forestry and conservation association say it is impossible to ascertain the total loss at present. Fires in tha Black Hills. DEADWOOD, S.
