.DENVER, Cola., March . Anticipating
the presence of a large crowd at the open
ing of the trial this morning of Giuseppe
Alia, the Moillan who murdered Father
Leo Helnrlchs of 8U Elisabeth's "church,
February 23, Sheriff Alexander Nlsbet had
deputies stationed along the walks and in
the entrance ways leading from the court
room and also In the court room itsi-Jf.
This precaution was taken, to fuEtrate any
attempt at mob violence, although the of
ficer of the hi W did not really look' tor
any outbreak of this kind.
Alta's case was the first on the' criminal
Socket and Judge Greeley M. Whit ford,
pbo Is , taking, his turn on the criminal
bench had ordered preaent an open panel
of 100 veniremen.
There was no demonstration when Alia
was brought Into court guarded by five
deputy sheriffs. He was placed in the
prisoners' box where he sat blinking at the
sunlight. He paid no attention to the
bustle about him, but occasionally he would
turn his eyes In the direction of the audi
ence. He has been shaved and was drelssd
in plain worklngman's clothes. His face
gives one the Impression of intelligence,
but of greet weariness. In his appearance
ihere is nothing to Indicate Insanity to the
layman.
Aa soon as the case was announced.
Judge Whltford ordered a call of the Jury.
The examination of the jurors wss begun
at once.
During the examination Alia, who under
stands practically no English, sat behind
his attorney, at times looking at the floor
and at others lifting his eyes and bunker
ing In tha direction of the twelve men In
the Juror's box. He seemed to take no In
terest whatever in the proceedings.

Now Dels 'Raised.
The social science department of the
Woman's club offered another attractive
program Monday afternoon and the club
rooms were well filled with members of
the school board, the clergy. Juvenile court
workers and members of the club. Ray
mond Robins of Chicago, settlement
worker and member of the Chicago school
board, was the speaker, his subject being
"The Public School and the Children of
the Workers." Mr. Robins considers the
public school the greatest factor In the
Uvea of the children of foreigners who
com to this country to live. Understand
ing little or nothing of the English lan
guage the foreigner's home remains much
aw it was in the old country and the chil
dren become the medium of communication
between this home and the new environ
ment. The school where the children spend
so much of their day Is the most potent
Influence In their lives. It Is practically
the only moral Influence between the boy
and the street after he comes te rec
ognize the difference between the stand
ards of his parents and those of his
new associates, and so the responsibility
of the school Increases. It is the chief
means of Americanizing the children so It
must hold them. Mr. Robins strongly ad
vocates manual training for boy and the
domestic arts for the girls. He further
encouraged teaching boys and girls to swim
and strongly commended the supervised
play ground as on of the moat valuable
educational factors In the Ufa of tha city
child. A discussion followed Mr, Robins'
talk.
Announcement was made of the action of
the Board of Fire and Police Commission
era In appointing a night matron for the
city Jail. The department requested that
such an appointment be made several
months ago and the women were much
gratified by the board's action.
Clob Scholarship.
There is, perhaps, nothing to which club
women have given their support more
heartily than to higher education, and there
Is probably no class of women who better
appreciate lta value than the club women.
The scholarship fund of the General Fed
eration1 Is coming to be recognized and to
be classed with the Cecil Rhodes scholar
ship. While this project Is r.till only in
the starting stage It will send two young
women to English universities soon. These
American girls will be chosen by a com
mittee of five. There are two scholarships,
one maintained by the General Federation
in thl country and the other by the So
ciety of American Women In England. Th
amount allowed la $1,600 a year for ex
penses. The examinations will b th same
as the candidates for the Rhodes scholar
ships take.
The General Federation has requested all

The Modern and Accepted Order of A mo
cat, like all other great organisations,
owes lta birth to an accident at Tacoma.
At the preaent tlm only thos who were
on the excursion to the north Pacific
coast are numbered among the elect. The
first Initiation waa due to a fall wblch a
prominent member took over a chair In
the buffet car of tha train from Omaha.
He was picked up so gently by his com
panion and with such delightful results
that every excursionist who entered the
car during the evening waa given a similar
opportunity to fall and accept th assist
ance jit his friends. oGvernor Sheldon
fell gracefully aa befitted his station and
was elected grand cattll of th mysterious
order. The governor then administered all
succeeding obligations with due solemnity.
The fact that the train was dodging from
one state to another made no difference
with the Amocats. The order was looking
for th state where the incorporation laws
were easy, and Amocats were born In
bunches of five In Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana, In the Faclflo ocean, from
the end of the apiingboard in Great Salt
Lake and near Medicine Bow In the sage-
brush country.
Now all these pleasant scenes ar to be
recalled when the Commercial club gives
the first annual banquet to the boosters
who helped to tear a great fiary hole In
the atmosphere of th west and leave whole
cities of friends in the land where the
porker grows and the paint keep getting
redder the further out west they go.

The hunting season for ducks and geese
along the Platte river Is In full swing In
this section of Nebraska. The wild water
fowl have been Increasing rapidly In num
ber along the river the last month, and
Immediately after the snow storm of last
week hunters found them easy gathering.
The storm drove the birds together vln
large flocks to the sheltered places along
the lee banks. The river was low, but
full of floating Ice and snow and the birds
were so tame that hunters were able to ap
proach within gunshot range with very lit
tle trouble and sometimes with the aid of
blinds. A large number of heavy bags were
reported, one man equipped with wading
boots returning after an earry trip last
Friday morning with a load of twenty-
eight ducks. One flock of sixteen geese
was counted from - the . Platte bridge, five
miles from BlgneU, on a sheltered sandbar
