Practically the whole population of i :: the city was on the beach this morn- i ing when the battleships came to ; anchor. '".-",' I'„-'• Hundreds of school children were 'massed along tho line, each carrying a | flag. The street for blocks was car peted with a bower of bright lined I •flowers, over which the automobiles ! >' were driven. The flowers were thrown | " In such profusion that the tonneaus of the machines were stacked with them. "■■- Returning to the pavilion, Admiral I Thomas and his officers held a recep- . • tion until late in the afternoon. At night the ships were Illuminated and a display of fireworks was given on the beach. The city also was illum inated. The admiral's and officers' ball at the Sea Beach hotel was attended by a large number of officers and the prominent society people of Santa Cruz. To See Big Trees Tomorrow a free excursion is to be j given to the enlisted sailors and ma- > rines to the big trees, six miles from Santa Cruz. Several special trains will convey the visitors to the grove, re- , turning late in the afternoon. I The city itself is gaily decorated and I festooned in patriotic colors in honor | of the occasion. The afternoon pro- | gram of entertainment consisted of j patriotic exercises by the school chil dren, an automobile parade, a battle of flowers and a reception to Admiral Thomas and his officers at the casino. Athletic events helped to entertain the enlisted men. who came ashore in large numbers. The sea was exceeding ly rough where the ships lay at anchor, so the men had difficulty in getting ashore, and no visitors were taken aboard. Only the ships* launches were able to approach the gangways, and oven from them the transfer of passen gers was effected with great difficulty. The automobile, parade through the streets of the city, where upward of 16,000 people lined the sidewalks, was the feature of the day. For an hour i and a half the officers were whirled along between lanes of cheering spec tators, who waved banners and threw bouquets. -. - ■ * BARONESS SLAYS HUSBAND; TRIES TO KILL HERSELF Scion of Old Thuringian Family Shot Dead by His Spouse at Their Chateau In Ger. \ '' many By Associated Press, ' BERLIN, May 2.—Baroness Udo yon Ruexleben shot and killed her husband In their chateau at Buddenberk, near Dortmund, last night just as he was about to retire.

Gates, a young broken, committed suicide in his office In the Pacific building late last night by swallowing cyanide of potassium. A letter received recently by M.

An other body is scouring the country for other conventions which meet this year or next year. They will make an at tempt to bring them to Denver. Trips of thousands of miles are made and a careful list of the various bodies that meet in convention kept for the work of this league. The world is the field they work in and conventions of In ternational bodies are as easily sought for as those which are composed mere ly of delegates from tl.e lntermountaln states. Another body of citizens is engaged in devising plans for bettering real estate conditions. Denver is being j made into a place of remarkable beauty by these efforts. New boulevards are being laid out, additional parks are planned and tin most modern devices for sanitation, promoting the growth of shade trees and lawns, etc., are en couraged. Twenty thousand shade trees were planted under the direction of the city this spring and a contest has been planned for awarding a mag nificent prize for the best kept and j most beautiful lawn In the city during the present summer. Still another j body of citizens is engaged in looking j out for the best man to make mayor i of the city, securing legislation for the | enlargement of the various government i departments here and hurrying to ] I completion the new federal building, city library and various artistic mon uments and ornamental gates and col- I umns planned to beautify the city at public expense. The citizens know no political lines. When a city official does good work a committee of busi ness men takes in hand the work of re-electing him. If he neglects his duty they drop him and till his place; I with an abler man. Not Annoyed by Criticism The practice in many cities is to take these mailers up one at 8 time. '["his generally results in those who are at work being annoyed by the LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1908. criticism of those who look on and the good work Is thereby . hindered. In Denver nobody looks on; everybody is at work. The only rivalry is in seeing who can bring his work to a success ful conclusion first. This is the "Den ver system" which has made her name famed wherever civic enterprise is valued. The mayor of the city. R. W. Speer, has been nearly twenty years connect ed with the city government in some Important capacity. He is probably the best informed man on municipal ' matters In the whole country and he works full time every day and every man on the city's pay roll either works or ls discharged. The president of the chamber of commerce, E. L. Seholtz, is a young man long experienced In the needs of the city and enthusiastic In making Denver the greatest met ropolis of the west. Associated with Mr. Seholtz in bis labors is W. F. R. Mills, secretary, a master of detail and executive force, who Is capable of turning out more work in a day than any three men In similar positions in any city of the country. The various committees of this organization are composed of alert men of business who look only to getting the best, results. The Colorado delegation in congress have much to do with the work lor the betterment of Denver. .Senator Simon Guggenmeim keeps a man employed at his own expense studying questions concerning Denver's improvement and suggesting legislation that will serve I to benefit the city. Senator H. M. I Teller, for more than twenty years in the senate from this state, has made I tiring in his efforts for the city's wel fare. Governor H. A. Buchtel, chan cellor of the Denver university, Is one of the most persistent promoters of Denver's welfare ln the city. The secret of the success of these men is that they work together. When ever any movement Is begun for the good of the city they all join... When a committee was in Washington in February trying to secure the meeting | of the national Democratic committee they pledged $100,000 to help pay the expenses of the convention. Following the pledges there came telegrams from wealthy Denver men, personally guar anteeing the sum. Senator Guggen heim, many times a millionaire, and a half dozen other residents of Den ver, although Republicans, pledged themselves for the full amount and the: day was won. Students of municipal government who have come here to learn "the Den- I ver way" say that the whole secret of | the city's success Is In the Inspiring watchword and optimistic motto "keep j something going all the time."
