DENVER, Feb. l5.-Judge Hallett has
left for the Pacific coast and will be
gone some weeks. This means there
will be no change in the Union Pacific
Gulf situation in this state for some time
to come. Nothing has been heard at
this end of proceedings in appeal by the
Union Pacific receivers, but the belief
is held that whatever legal steps may be
taken the Gulf and Union Pacific people
will not await their issue, but will get
together and compromise their differ
ences, including that with the labor
unions.

LOOKS BAD.
The Local Management Exceeds His Pow
ers in Contracting Debts Against the
State Normal School-A Large
Deficiency Regents Inves.
tigating.

The members OF the State Board Of
Regents, who are Investigating the trans
actions OF the local hoard Of trustees OF
the State Normal school, do not find
matters in a very satisfactory condition.
The local board has not had a meeting
for nearly a year, and the management
of affairs has been left pretty much to
the local member, +. ID. Fits, who is
olso secretary Of the board of trustees.
Expenditures have been made far in ex-
cess OF appropriations, whether author
lied by the trustees or not. The regents
will not complete their invest CATION
until this evening, but SO far as they
have gone in looking over bills they
have already found $1,000, or more, in
excess of the appropriation for improve
ments. In other lines excuses also ap-
pear and it ia more than probable that
$1,000 will not cover the ex~travagances.
THIS, certainly, is bad management. In
these times of state household economy,
when all appropriations are strictly linn
tied in amount to Il given purpose, and
out OF any other fund, it is inc xcusable
recklessness to contract for work or ma
terial IN excess OF ap. roprlations, or
incur expenditures for which no appro-
p~riation has been made at all. This is
the only public institution in the state
where the management has exceeded it's
powers or the limits OF it's appropris-
tions, and the regents naturally feel very
much grieved at the state Of affairs. 1t
would be folly to go before the next leg
islature with "a deficiency bill, besides
the law st ,ictly forbids an excess OF
powers in this direction under penalty.
and the local management can only hope
TO evade public censure and Responsible
ty in the matter by footing the bills
in excess themselves II these bills are
not met, and the state has no n
appropriated with which to pay them
and cannot pay them according to the
law governing the maintenance and
management Of state institutions, liens
for labor and material may be filed
against the buildings and the title of the
state to it's property at onc ieoE ardlzed.
Herein lay the necessity of the state at
taching a penalty to the acts of officers
who exceed their powers, and it Is a very
necessary precaution, otherwise our pub
lie institutions would soon run riot in
expenditures and e~xtravagances Of those
having them in charge. The clrcum-
stance is unfortunate, since the school is
constantly growing in Importance
as an educator. This utter lack of bust
ness sagacity on the part OF the local
management will prove detrimental in
many ways, and exert a bad influence in
the matter of securing future approprIa-
lion from the state.

Mr.. Hemingway Protests Against .
Proposed Bill.
G. b. Hemingway OF No. 2e I street
northeast has filed a protest with the Com
missioners against the enactment Of q bill
now under preparation by the sealer Of
weights and measures. to be submitted to
Congress. providing for an examination
every six months of weights and measures.
and q charge OF twenty-five cents; also an
inspection fee of ten cents upon the annual
examination OF yard sticks or measures,
and also a fee of one dollar for the ex-
animation every six months Of every plat
form scale, for the following reasons:
THE practice Of paying public officials
by means of fees IL bad one. Public
officers perform their duties for the public
Der eft, and therefore should be paid from
the public fund. To empower q public
official to collect fees IL to empower him
to levy taxation. and this Is a matter that
should not be left subject to the discretion
Of any individual, where his own interests
are involved The practice has invariably
led to bad consequences. and generally re-
suits IN excessive compensation. so far as
possible II should be discouraged. and
wherever 1t 10 now in practice the practice
should be abolished, and a proper salary
substituted.
and measures should, of course, be in
vogue, but very little consideration will
snow that the fee system Is a bad one; that
the fees Will be a burden on the immediate
payers; that such a system has no founda-
ton OF Justice; that II will give to an off,
cial power that he may use tyrannically;
that 1t Will impose a burden on those who
are not beneficiaries, and fail not to impose
burden on those for whose beneft the
system Is maintained, and that the compen.
sation of the official will probably be ex.
cessive in proportion to the service rem.
dered, and that the fees will constitute an
excessive tax.
He has requested the Commissioners to
carefully consider the matter and substitute
an adequate salary for the fee system.

MIR. WARNER PROTESTS.
Says the Contagious Hospital Site IL q
Mtstnke.


Mr. B. H. Warner appeared before the
Commissioners this afternoon to protest
against the location Of a contagious hos
pital on the site recently purchased In
Pleasant Plains for that purpose. He said:
II consider the selection of the site a
most unfortunate and unwise choice. The
Commissioners are all personal friends of
mine, but felt it was necessary to express
my opinion to two of them. They state
such an institution will not BE dangerous
to human life, and that the opposition is
entirely sentimental. Admitting this to lie
the fact, sentiment fixes the value of prop
erty in this District as well as elsewhere.
The Commissioners have bought a site
which will at once reduce the taxable value
of property in that locality and adjacent
sections, because of the sentiment of the
people, from 100000 to S,O00.OO0 This Is
putting II low The loss of taxes every
year resulting from this action could erect
a good hospital There is a large square
directly opposite the site which parties
have been thinking of improving, and
assert that IL will not sell for more than
half as much as II would before the site
was selected. All building in this section
will be stopped.
People do not want to buy where their
fears are worked upon every day, and
where they have an object lesson con-
stant1y before them reminding them OF
dangerous and loathsome disease. l am
glad tC see, although we nave no Suffrage
in this District, there are thousands or
people who are willing to act when they
consider the public interests are endanger-
ed or course, the Commissioners were
fully aware before the purchase was mace
that there would be great opposition 10
their act This is the reason that IL was
kept a secret for several months until IL
was given to the public by The star There
are many better sites which can be mao,
and where adjacent property would not be
damaged / visited one yesterday that the
government now owns, and which has few-
or objections than can be urged against
almost any other locality. OF course, no
hospital will be built on the site selected.
for IL work is ever entered upon Indignation
will take a concrete form, and the building
will be demolished.
Mr. Warner was asked IL he had been re-
ouested to call the board Of trade together
to take action on this matter. to which he
replied:
'Such action has been requested. but i
hope II will not be necessary. j see was
appointed on a committee last night 10 op-
pose the use of the site selected. or course
/ will serve. / was not present at the
meeting and regret the use OF incorporate
language 1 believe the Commissioners IN
tended TO act for the public good. but they
have simply made a most unfortunate
error.

And bring world Of terror unto me.
