AGAINST GOVERNOR WAITE.
COloradO's Supreme Court Sends the
Denver Row Back to the District Court.

DENVER, Col. March 24-The Supreme
Court has sent the fire and police board
case back to the District Court
There was a large crowd of attorneys
and prominent citizens present when the
judges filed in and took their places for
the purpose Of rendering an opinion In the
famous controversy. The question presented
TO the court by the Governor asked who
were the legal members of the fire and
police board. The unanimous opinion of the
court is that this question must be deter
mined by the District Court. This de-
cision is against the Governor. for it does
not answer his questions and leaves the
matter where it stood when he called out
the militia over a week ago. The ground
upon which the opinion was rendered is
that the court has no jurisdiction. The
principal point In the decision is that the
Governor was greatly In error in assuming
that IL devoved uoon him 10 enforce his
order OF removal. The fire and police COM
missiCners OF Denver, though appointed by
the Governor. are practically municipal Off
GERS. The Governor Is no more charged
with the duty OF seating them in case Oi

officers over whose right to office a con-
trOversy has arisen.
Representatives Of the committee OF safe
ty were present TO watch the outcome and
report To the committee at the earliest mo.
ment, in order that in case the court should
not decide the controversy in definite and
positive way, prompt steps might be taken
TO protect the city's interests, preserve the
peace and prevent a recurrence of the

able uneasiness was caused by the fact that
Governor Waite had threatened, in case the
Supreme Court decided against him, 10 take
the matter into his own hands.
The Governor was seen Immediately after
the opinion rendered and, in reply to
a question: said: Il have absolutely nothing
10 say upon this subject"
A subcommittee of the committee of safe
~, headed by Joel f. Vale, waited upon
the Governor this evening and discussed
the situation with him quite fully. Neither
the Governor nor the committeeman would
divulge the results of the interview, but ii
is known the committee strongly advised
the Governor to abide by the decision of
the courts, warning him that another re-
sort TO arms would not be tolerated. Tney
assured him that Commissioners Orr and
Martin would not attempt TO delay de-
csion by the courts in suit brought to
decide who are entitled TO the Offices. The
Governor would not promise that he would
not again attempt forcibly to seat the new
commissioners, but told the committee he
would carefully consider their sugges tons.
The Governor declined to say anything to-
night for publication.

YOUNG In YEARS; OLD IN CRIME.
WOuld-Be Bank RObber Fredericks
Charged with Three Murders.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 24.-William
Fredericks, who shot Bank Cashier Herrick
yesterday, is only twenty-five years old,
but for years has been a hardened GRIM
inal. Several years ago he was sent to the
penitentiary for robbery and served four
years. He is accused of two murders be-
sides that of Herrick, and is suspected of
another. Last night he admitted that his
name was Fredericks. and said that he
had furnished arms TO George Sontag, Chris
Evanss partner, when Sontag tried to es-
cape from Folsom prison. In notebook
carried by Fredericks were some notes
written in cipher, which, being interpreted
showed that he had been in communication
with Chris Evans. Fredericks says his
plans were to bluff the bank officials into
submission. lock them in the vault and
quietly walk away. He said he would not
have fired at Herrick had not the cashier
first wounded him. Although Fredericls
has such a hard record as a desperate man
the police are convinced that he is a cow
ard at heart, as he weakened as soon as
he thought he was wounded Herrick fired
through the window at him, and he was
struck on the breast by a spent ball, which
did not enter the flesh.

oped by similar public scandals, nothing
can be recalled which approaches the atroci-

who has been a professor of chivalry, this
white-headed manufacturer of touching SEN
timentalism which he has spoUted and
gushed all over Congress and the public

Nor is he content to rest upon this. Know

A CITIZENSHIP MILL
Italians Converted Into Full
Pledged Americans in a Day.
Forged Naturalization Papers Sold to
Immigrants on Their Arrival
Scheme Backed by Tammany.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, March 24-Justice
Walsh to-day issued warrants for the ar
rest of Vincenzo de Vito. an Italian banker
of New York city, and Velasco Ferrini,
his clerk, on charges of subornation of
perjury. There is evidence in the district
attorneys office that De Vito sold natural
ization papers to Italians just landed at
from SO to SO apiece. The papers are
forged and have been used by Italians to
secure employment on city department
works.
In connection with these arrests the
World this evening devotes entire page
to the developments in the case. The arti-
Gle alleges that De Vito is at the head of
an organized system of buying and SELL
ing citizenship papers obtained by fraud,
selling them to aliens not lawfully entitled
to be naturaliZed. and who, having become
parties to the fraud, are controlled and
driven to the polls like sheep on election
day. The article further states that when
these aliens return to their own country
the bogus papers are bought back at big
discount and sold again to new arrivals.
This nefarious business is said to be car
ried on so boldly and with little attempt
at concealment that there Is every reason
to believe that they enjoy the confidence
of and have been promised protection by
the political leaders, to whom they throw
the votes thus illegitimately made.
The World in its expose says there is a
we'll organized body of men "Who not only
procure naturalization papers by fraud for
money for residents of their city, but also
operate in Kings county, and perhaps in
other counties throughout the State; who
use dummies to represent the men who de-
sire to secure these papers; who do not hes
itate TO procure the commission of perjury
by these dummies and by dummy witness
es who swear falsely to the identity of
the dummy applicants for papers; who run
their naturalization bureaus as adjuncts TO
their business as padrones, and who, by
the hold obtained through the fear Of the
holders of the papers, bleed thir patrons
in many and nefarious ways.
