of people who desired to view the
face of the dead senator. The long

they exceeded in length the five blocks

The early hours of opening the doors
to the chamber brought thousamls of
men with their dinner pails on their
way to their daily toIL In such great
numbers did they come, however, that
many were unable to remain in line.
Early morning trains brought many

The funeral was held in the after

During the service Cleveland was

Shafroth Says Influence of
Woman
Suffrage is Good.
WASHINGTON Former Congress
man John L. Shafroth of Colorado,
who resigned Ms seat uecause of elec
tion frauds in Denver, denies that
these frauds were committed mainly
by women. In an interviaw Friday
Mr. Shafroth snid:
"Of the persons implicated, very
few were women; nor more than one
in ten at the outside. Frauds were
committed in the lowest parts of Den
ver, where not many women live. The
incident was nnr characteristic of the
women voting in Colorado and it was
preposterous to make it an argument
against female suffrage. Everybody
knows there are bad women as well
a? bad men, but what would any good
man think if it were proposed to take
his vote away from his becausp same
bad men had cheated at an election"
In Colorado the women vote as gen
erally as the men. and fraud is more

A leader high in" the republican par-'

story which makes it reasonable to
believe that Dick will be the man

conforms to certain known facts. The
