Belt and Attorney Rich
ardson. DENVER. Cola, Aug. 7. A meetirg of
the executive committee of the Western
Federation of Miners has been called and
will be held as soon as President Charles
H. Moyer arrives here, which will be !n a
few days. There Is a report In circulation
to the effect that at this meeting tl e ques
tion of determining upon counsel for George
II. Pettlbone, who will be tried In October
at Boise. Idaho, on the same oharje that
8ecretory-Treasurer Haywood was acquit
ted of, will be brought up. The report also
has It that Clarence Darrow, the Chicago
lawyer who assisted In the defense of Hay
wood, will not be retained In the Pettlbone
case, but that E. F. Richardson of Denver,
also of counsel for Haywood, will b en
gaged to handle the Pettlbone case. Rlrh
ardson has declared In published Interviews
that he would not under any circumstances
again associate himself with Darrow, and
a morning paper prints an interview in
which he is credited with reiterating the
above statement. A further significant i
mark follows:
"I will try no more cases with Clarence
Darrow. I could work with Mr. Daimw,
but I don't propose to do so. We (the fir n
of Richardson & Hawkins) have handed
Western Federation litigation for yeai.
and are still ope.n to their employment. Mr.
Haywood was In my office for oyer an hour
today."
It la Intimated that Haywood and other
Federation leaders favor dropping Darrow,
but that Moyer wishes him retained In the
other cases to be tried at Boise. Mr. Dar
row arrived In Denver yesterday, but sa'd
that he had not yet seen any of the Federa
tion people. He admitted that there were
personal differences between himself and
Mr. Richardson and expressed the opinion
that each of them would be relieved to
have the other go on with the cases.
DEVILS FLEE FROM WORKERS
Brother Adolph and Slater Lucy Cr.
ate Dlatnrbanee In Con
necticut Town.
GREENWICH. Conn., Aug. 7. Residents
of the village of Pemberwlik and nearby
hamlets are stirred up over the advent of
a man and woman calling themselves field
missionaries of the "'Apostolic faith." Their
revival meetings have been well nttended
and stories which started of probable
witchcraft and hypnotism have so Inflamed
the simple country folk that their safety
is threatened. Sunday night a ir. ,b gath
ered and some one threw a bomb, filled
with a liquid. Into the room In which n
meeetlng was In progress. The liquid
burned the missionary and filled the room
with a gas that almost suffocated those
present. Monday , night another crowd
tore down a tent which th missionaries
had erected and the torch was applied,
The missionaries describe themselves as
Brother Adolph de Rosa, a Portuguese, nnd
Sister Lucy M. Leatherman, formerly a
missionary In the Holy Land. They deny
that they practice hypnotism In the gen
erally accepted sense of that term. They
attribute the partial trance state of their
devotees at meetings to religious fervor.
Those who have been converted to tho
apostolic faith In Pemberwlck and vicinity
defend the missionaries.
De Rnsa, whose life has been threatened
and who Is now guared by officers from
i Greenwich, In speaking of the charges made
against him. said
"We believe that our apostles have the
power of casting out devils and of healing.
We do not practice hypnotism. Those
brothers and sisters who were seen on the
floor In the parlor were held by a spell of
religious fervor. I am going to leave these
; parts Immediately and sail for Portugal
i Mrs. Leatherman. who says she Is the
I widow of a physician and that she formerly
lived in Clinton Falls, Ind., made the fol
lowing statement:
"1 may be a hypnotist, but If so I prac
tice solely the hypnotism with which every
sincere religious worker Is thrilled,
have worked with Mother Baxter In Lon
don and other well known missionaries.
I met Brother De Rosa In California after
being converted to the Apostolic faith. We
believe In the casting out of devils. While
doing this, we may wave our hands and
snap our fingers, and these movements
have given rise to the report that we are
hypnotists. We will not continue our work
further in this locality."

LADY GODIVA TAKES RIDE
Vaudeville Actress, Swathed In Chif
fon, Represents Famous Woman
of Legend,
COVENTRY, England. Aug. 7.-Mounted
on a white palfrey and decorously clothed
in masses of hair, pink fleshings and clouds
of gauxe, a modern Lady Godvla today
gsve a representation of the historic ride
through the city's streets.
Coventry has been Lady Godlva rnad for
months. When a revival of the procession,
last witnessed in 1857, was first mooted
there were many who desired a strict ad
herence to tradition, even to the nudity of
Lady Godlva, but th antl-nudlsts effected
a compromise and a vaudeville actress, I
whose specialty Is to display herself In j
groups of living statuary, was engaged to i
represent the historic benefactress of Cov
entry. The actress, who is said to have
complained that she could make half a
dozen summer frocks out of the gauxe sho
was compelled to wear, took an hour and
a half to arrange her trailing hair and
long draperies and then a special commlt-
teed had to approve of her costume before
Lady Godlva was permitted to take her
place In the pageant. Many of the local
clergy who had been preaching against tho i
fleshings as being suggestive of nudity, left
the city temporarily, but most of the peo
ple of the country and 80,00) to 100.000 from
the outside had a sight of Lady Godlva as
she traversed th six miles.
Tdy Godlva, who flourished about the
middle of the eleventh century, was the
wife of Ieofrlo, earl of Chester. She was a
woman of great beauty and piety and the
benefactress of many churches and mon
asteries. According to the legend, Lady
Godvla begged her husband to relieve Cov
entry of a burdensome tax and ha con
sented to do so on the condition that she
should ride naked through the market
place. This she did, covered only by her
long hair, and thus won relief for the peo
ple. According to some versions of the
story the people were commanded to keep
within their own houses while Lady Godlva
passed, and only one mnn, "Peeping Tom,"
disobeyed and he was miraculously stricken
with blindness.

FORUM OF LOCAL POLITICS
Jim Allan Pulls Out of Sheriff Race
on Order of McDonald.
;0LD CONTRACT NOW FULFILLED
Democrat! Are Having; Hard Time to
Get Candidate Tied by
Selection to Stand
Hitched.
The first step toward simplifying the rsce
for republican nomination for sheriff at the
primary election September S, was taken
Wednesday In the withdrawal of Jim Allan,
who had filed as a candidate. Allan's with
drawal leaves the race fairly between
Coroner Bralley and Tony Donahue. The
action of John McDonald's deputy Is re
garded as merely a reflection of the fact
that Tony Donahue's candidacy two year
ago was a part of the scheme to elect
McDonald, Donahue being the stalking
horse then and Allan the stalking horse
this time. Donahue, McDonald and Allan
had a conference and then Allan withdrew
and repeated his little speech. While
Allan's filing was to be regarded as Mc- Hill links yesterday and at the finish de
Donald's compensation to Innnriue stalk- clared that the Standard oil magnate was
ing horse for stalking horse his early likely to live more than a quarter of a
withdrawal Is taken by Informed politicians century longer.
to Indicate the utter lack of hopu In that
camp this year.
Many of the republican candidates were
at the McKlnley club dinner Tuseday night ,
when Senator LaFollette was the guest of
honor and the speaker. Perfect harmony ,
seemed to prevail among the contestants, j
Indicating that the animated stage rf tho I
campaign had not yet been reached: at least j
not for the public. Men running for noml- 1
nation for the same office actually sat sldo j
by side and talked Just as sweetly as If i
they might have been boosting each other, j
... ...
The democrats had trouble In getting j
men to accept nominations for the voters ,
to act on at the county primaries, but It j
seems this trouble wu nothing beside that j
of persuading the unterrlfled to stand
hitched. As the day of battle draw nigh
hopes are fading and nerve falling and j
candidates getting weak In the knees. Leo ,
Bridges, who finally consented to act the ,
role of candidate for sheriff, Is now re-
ported as being among the backsliders. .
It Is said the councilman has been unable ,
to figure out th
and In view of
e exact size of his majority !
the fact that he Is a man I
who believes In having a definite knowl
edge of everything he does not care to
take chances such ns must be Incurred In
this esse. He therefeore Is said to be
turning a willing ear to the proposition of
withdrawing from the ticket entirely in ,
favor of that old warhorse. John Power, I
ex-sherlff. Whether the former , sheriff j
would accept the rlace Is not known; he j
doesn't seem certain of It himself, but many
of his admirers insist he would take It If
properly approached and th'ere Is a move
ment now on foot to have the proffer passed
over to him In the correct style. ,
Another brother who Is getting to see
things whenever the matter of election I
mentioned Is Fred H Cosgrove, running for
county assessor. H i reported to hav
expressed the belief that If nn equally good
man could be secured he would find it pos
sible to persuade himself not to run.
A meeting of the faithful Is planned for
the purpose of Injecting some ginger Into
tho hopeless candidates. The plan is to
have Jacksonians and Dahlmonttes both
present and give the terrified the benefit
of a united feeling behind them.
