DEUVER POLITICS TO KEEP LIIIDSEy

FROM CI! Ferrous Juvenile Court Judge of Colorado City Writes that He Cannot Lecture Here This Summer. - BILLY SUNDAY IS TO BE THE ATTRACTION Noted Baseball Evangelist Has Been Secured for Local Chautauqua Lindsey in a . Hot Campaign Now. The baseball evangelist, to Rev. W. A. (Billy) Sunday, baa accepted terms to lecture at the Chautauqua on Sunday afternoon. August 28, taking the place which bad been offered to Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver, Col., but who bad to cancel the engagement owing to pressure of political business at bla borne. The securing of the Rev. Sunday has more than pleased the Chautauqua officials and they believe that he will draw a larger crowd than Judge Lindsey. The Rev. Sunday once before lec tured before a local Chautauqua. Judge Lindsey has on at least two oth er occasions lectured here. Perhaps the Rev. Sunday Is the best known and most advertised evangel 1st of the day. Church goers as well as non-attendants are acquainted with his Interesting history on the ball field and his even more Interesting reiiglous campaigns. He Is sure to attract one of the largest crowds that ever attended a meeting at the assembly. Judge Lindsey is In the midst of a political fight at Denver that demands his entire attention. His letter to the Lyceum board which had contract ed for him to appear here on August 28 is as follows. Letter from Lindsey. - , 1 asa simply up 'against It here. I have got to be la Denver by the 20th of August or run the risk of all sorts of calamities, difficulties and trouble. If you knew anything about the terri ble fight here that Is being made against me, you would appreciate that I have been very fortunate In giving as much time as I have to lecture work, and so far In never having miss ed more than one or two engagements. I notice that after the 18th of August there appear to be five engagements. The only thing you can do is to write these five committees and arrange as aoon as possible for some substitute. We hsve a special election called for , the first week In September and i special session of the legislature' call ed for the 9th of August that will be In the height of Us work about the 20th of August. An action brought to put me in Jail may also come up in Sep tember. In all of these matters I am upon and what Is done in this special session of the legislature, a special election In September and the vicious suit being framed up before a pollti cal Judge called In for that purpose, the whole future of our work may depend. It Is a matter of great regret to me that I must disappoint four or five committees. I feel, however, that I ought to have their sympathy and support and willingness to aid rather than to add to the burdens that are upon me by being as charitable and considerate as possible and accepting the situation. When we made the en gagements It was simply Impossible to foresee the difficulties that have arisen. I wish you would communicate N this letter or a copy of It, or such ex tracts as may be necessary, to the five committees who have engaged me on their program for the latter part of August. It is not your fault, neither can I see how it is my fault. A man In public life situated as I am, trying to survive In the desperate struggle In which I have been engaged. Is bound to be subjected to some uncer tainties, and I can only hope that the committees for the five dates I am compelled to cancel may appreciate the difficulty that Is even more disappointing to me than It could possibly be to them. I shall In all probability be seriously harassed because of a suit Just Insti tuted In the supreme court to consolld .ate the city and county of Denver, the effect of which will, according to some authorities, abolish the Juvenile court unless we can convince the supreme court that it is a state and not a coun oaii r- Till. ! vftl n w ti rMiiiIrA mn slderable work, and since the question Is set for September 1, It Is absolutely ., vital, for that reason alone that I be here at least ten days before the first No one until recently knew that such a suit would be brought, and Us possi ble effect upon the very existence of oar work presents one of the most serious problems we have have yet had yet to face, 8lned. -BEN.

"xne Kicnmond natural uas com pany has fine governors in this city to reduce the pressure from the high pressure mains to the service mains. We will connect the high pressure mains with ours and cut out the governors. This will give immediate service. Then we will gradually eliminate the high pressure pipes which will require keeping too much artificial gas In them. Lease Mains and Pipes. -"We are enabled to do this by leasins the mains and service pipes from the United Gas and Electric company which has acquired them from Mr. Hooven, who represents the persons who bought In the Natural Gas company. The Light. Heat and Power comnany cant afford to buy thea but we can lease them from this com pany which Is very closely "connected with the 8usquehanna company which Is our parent company. "The negotiations are practically completed now. We are not using all the mains and service pipes in Richmond only those which will do us the most good. For Instance the pipe line on South Eighth street will be very valuable because ours is too small, and so in the same way we can Continued on Pago Three..
