UKNVKH, Nov. IB. At 0 o'clock tonight
It was announced that Sheriff Freeman of
Llucoln county had decided not to tako
John Porter, tho confessed murderer of
Ilttlo Louise Frost, to that county at pres
ent. He declares that ho wishes to avoid
n lynching, It possible, nnd thinks that
when tho people hnvo tlmo to cool down
they will bo willing to allow the law '.o
hike Its course.
1'rlends of tho dend girl's family aro
dcoply Incensed against tho sheriff and
threats of violence ngalnst him nro freely
made.
Tho day has been an exrltlng one In
Denver. Thousnnds of people havo sur
rounded the city Jail, where tho negro was
confined, and It kept tho police depart
ment busy clearing the streets. Thoro wai
no Indication .that any motive other than
curiosity prompted the gatherings. Late
this afternoon Porter was transferred to
tho custody of Sheriff Jones of this (Arap
ahoe) county and taken to the county Jail.
Porter ppent. tho day reading tho blblo
and praying. Ho expressed penitence for
his crime, but retains 'remarkable nen'e.
That John Porter Is tho ravlsher and
murderer of 11-year-old Louise Frost
there remains no doubt. His con
fession lias been confirmed by the finding
of the girl's pocketbook In tho vault at the
Llmon rnllroad depot, whero Porter ad
mitted that he threw It. A dozen citizens
of Llmon, where tho crime was committed,
started for Denver on the mornlug train
with the avowed purpose of acting an an
escort for Sheriff Freeman and his prisoner
on the Journey to tho Jail at Hugo. Five
hundred determined men, most of them
ranchmen, have assembled at Llmon and
Hugo and they mako no secret of their
Intention to lynch tho young murderer.
Public feeling li at such a pitch that the
return of the murderer's father and brother,
who appear to havo ulded him ln burning
hla bloodstained garments, may nlso be
demanded and three lives may be sacrificed
In atonement for the terrible crime.
"Thero Is nothing for mo to do," snld
Governor Thomas today, whon asked If ho
would Interfere to prevent tho proposed
lynching. "Tho civil authorities havo the
prUoncr and It lieu with them to protect
hlra."
A special to the News from Llmon, Colo.,
says a mass meeting ot citizens from all
parts of Lincoln county was held there
tonight and resolutions adopted requesting
Sheriff Freemnn to bring John Porter, the
negro murderer of Loulso Frost, to tho
county nt once. It wns decided that the
negro shall be hanged, but that no torture
Bhall hu permitted. An organization wus
perfected and It was positively asserted
that Porter will bo executed when brought
to the county, uo odds how long the de
lay. Much dlssntlsfnctlon was oxpresscd
at the decision of Sheriff Freeman to hold
the prlaoncr ln Denver for tho present.
COLO..AUU SPRINGS, Col., Nov. 15.
District Attorney McAllister refused this
mornlug to Issue an order for the removal
of John Porter, the young negro who con
fessed that he murdered Louise Frost at
Llmon, to Hugo, tho county seat ot Lincoln
county, In which tbo crlmo was committed.
McAllister based his refusal upon the ground
that preparations were openly, being made
nt Llmon Hnd Hugo to lynch Porter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. Tho report of
General Ilufllngtcii, chief of tho Ilureau of
Ordnance, has been niado to tho secretary
of war. As somo of tho most Interesting
portions of tbo report, dealing with disputed
points between tho Ordnance bureau nnd
the Hoard of Ordnance nnd Fortifications,
aro contained In appendices, which havo not
yet been made public, tho report Is not ns
Interesting us expected. Among these
fentures Is that of field guns, which Is dis
missed with n paragraph stating that tho
facts enn bo found In nn nppendlx. Tho
Ordnance bureau was nbout to let the con
tracts for 200 field guns when the recom
mendation of the Hoard of Ordnance nnd
Fortifications was npproved, holding up
action for somo months. It Is In connec
tion with field ordnance that nn agent of
tho government has obtained what It alleges
Is tha secret of the French field gun and
which It Is proposed shall be tested by this
government
Another controversy Is that relating to
tho disappearing guu carriage, whoso further
manufacture hns been decided ngalnst by tho
Hoard of Ordnance and Fortifications. Gen
eral Uufilngton discusses tho history of this
carriage, showlnz that It was ordered by
the Kudlcott board and tho Decretory ot war.
General Hufflngton says:
"Thero was at tho tlmo no disappearing
carriage known to the world which satisfied
fully tho requirements and It Is Inferred
that the highest military nuthorlty deemed
that tho disappearing principle was of such
paramount importance and so deslrablo that
It must be adopted nnd that a Bultnblo
carriage would ultimately bo forthcoming
for It.
"It was, thorefore, presented to tho
Ordnnnco department ns a problem to bo
solved nnd tho present servlco carriage Is
the best solution It hns been able to find.
So far as cxperlcnco has gone, It has
worked well, nnd, In fact, much more satls
factprlly than was anticipated. It Is pre
sumed, however, that tho question raised
Involved tho disappearing system Itself and
the severe requirements It Imposes upon tho
carrlago builder. It challenges the necessity
for such protection to the gun, Its carriage
and men, and suggests an open ranipnrt
carriage simpler In function nnd there
fore simpler in design and perhaps capable
of quicker action and more rapid fire.
"Tho department Is not by nny means
wedded to tho disappearing system. It
accepted It from higher nuthorlty as n con
dition to which It was required to conform,
but Is ready to tako up from tho proper
authority nny other system and devote Us
energies to making It successful. It has
already provided tho balanced pillar mounts
for flvo-lnch guns and Is making similar onos
for slx-lncb guns and Is prepared to take
Into consideration forms of pedestal or
pillar mount for still larger calibres, or
carriages of non-dlsappearlng barbetto type,
ns mny seem best."
Thero has. been a groat deal of discussion
over the so-caled "pom pom" guns, one
pounders. They havo been used In the
South African war, but no official opinion
has been "TJ lived regarding them. Two
batteries oflAx-lnch guns each have been
ordered audas soon ns completed will be
sent to the Philippines.
l'rocreuM on Ilefenxen.
Many rapld-flro scacoast guns are mount
ing. These consist of five nnd six-Inch and
fifteen-pounders. Tho Drlggs-Scabury
company has delivered fifty-seven 15
poundcrs nnd twenty c-poundcrs, but Gen
eral nufflngton says that tho failure of tho
company to deliver tltteen-poundcrs and
carriages under tholr contracts with the
government has caused serious delay. A
similar complaint Is made about the Drown
sogmcntnl wire gun, and attention Is pointed
to nn appendix on this subject.
Tho report says that heretofore thero
has been Ilttlo uso for thu mountain guns,
but upon requisitions from tho Philippines
all the mountain guns on hand, together
with two slx-guu batteries, wero purchased
and sent to Manila. Thero was also a de
mand for small caltbro machine guns and
qulto a number havo been purebnsed and
sent to the Philippines.
Contracts hnvo been made for 1,151.000
pounds of smokeless powder, of which 800,
000 pounds wtro for the uso ot eeacoaBt guns
and mortars, It Is believed that tho dlf
flcultlea encountered last year have been
overcome and that the new powder will
prove satisfactory.
During tho last year there were completed
tho following heavy guns: Ten lO-ln'-h
rifles, twenty-four 12-Inch rifles, thirty
eight 12-Inch mortars, making a total
of such heavy guns now ready for our de
fenses of 658. Work on the slxteen-lnch
rlfln was delayed because a larger furnaco
was needed.
There have been accepted during the year
5,500 armor and deck-piercing projectiles.
Concerning tests at Sandy Hook, General
Dufilnston says that experiments havo been
made for shells with wet guu cotton, thorite,
Jovlto No. 2, corberlte and with explosives
of the lyddite and amoultrato classes. It
Is necessary to havo an explosive .which
will be safe In the gun and ln storage, a
compound which Is still an object of pursuit.
Experiments to detect flashes of smokeless
powder proved Ineffectual. Five patterns
ot field carriage with controlled recoil have
been tried and nono found wholly ratls
factory. Out of appropriations of J29,390,7SS thn
bureau has expended $16,210,735. -
