Denver Bookkeeper Was Scion or House Of Kelver, Denver, Colo., April 6.--To those 5 liam Clayton, bookkeeper and cashier i of the Standard Meat & Live Stock | Company, died yesterday in his room | at the Denver Athletic Club. But to! one man, and one man alone, who! knew the mystery of his life and of | his past, the greatgrandson of Lord | Kelver, of England, passed away af- | ter shielding his identity as a mem- | ber of one of the greatest and most | influential families in England, the lords of which have made English history. To one man it. was known=-to Judge John A. Perry, who adjourned court and left his bench to go §o the room where his best friend lay dead, then later to file one of the strangest wills éver written in Denver. For it was in that will that Sidney William Strutt, scion of the House of Kelver, | revealed the mystery of his life and became in death what he had con cealed from the world in life--a life in which he had .become known so- cially and in a business way as Sid- ney William Clayton. Nor did the strangeness of the will end in the revealing of the mystery of the personality of the man who for y®ars has been known in Denver as Sidney William Clayton. For when Judge Perry carries out the provi- sions of the will, he will see first that a knife pierces the heart of Sidney William Strutt to insure his death. Then the body will travel to a cre- | matory, following which the ashes | will be sent to England, with the last | request of Sidney William Strutt that | they be scattered by sisters, Flora, | Edith and Georgina, from the towers | of the historic Tuttbury Castle, at | Staffordshire, England.

Ottawa, April 5.--The Hon. An- drew Broder, Conservative member for Dundas, a life-long friend of the late Sir James Whitney, and known in Parliament for twenty years as one of the most honorable and up- right of the people's representatives, felt constrained to break from nis party's allegiance by speakin| ng ond voting in support of Sir ifrid Laurier's motion for a wide-open Parliamentary inquiry into the op- erations of the Shell Committee. In the House of Commons last night he said: "My name has been made a sub- ject of controversy. I do mot wish | any great publicity, but I desire to say that I never gave any authority for an interview, nor any statemént to anybody, to be made public. While I am on my feet I to state how | I intend to vote, for I do not wish to give a silent vote on this, occasion, A good deal has been said of the wis- dom or unwisdom of investigating the Shell Committee's business. The argument largely used ds that the money spent was British money. Now, I look upon this war as a part- nership between Great Britain and her colonies, and I think we are just as much interested in the outlay of British money as we are of our own.
