VICTORY FOR WAITE
District Court of Denver Decides
i'm Favor of the Governor.
Injunction Against the New Members of
the Boards Dismissed-They De-
mand Office but Are Refused.

DENVER, Col, March 26.-Judge Glynn,
sitting In the District Court, to-day quashed
the injunction issued by Judge Graham
against Governor Waite, Mayor Van Horn
and Fire and Police Commissioners Rogers
Barnes and Mullins, restraining them from
attempting TO take possession Of the office
and interfering with the duties of the old
commissioners, Messrs. Orr and Martin
whom Governor Waite removed, and dis
missed the contempt proceedings. The court
holds that the portion of the writ of in
junction under which the alleged contempt
was committed is void. and consequently
there could be no contempt that Orr and
Martin, in endeavoring to hold office by
force, and after having been notified of
their removal by the Governor, are Violat-
Ing the law themselves and are usurpers,
and that Mullins and Barnes have the right
TO peacefully assume the offices to which
they have been appointed, at once.
dered, upon the advice of their attorneys,
Mullins and Barnes went to the City Hall
and requested Orr and Martin to turn

the Mayors office and or organized They inn
and appointed John Farley in his stead.
The lieutenants likewise were dismissed,
and it is understood decapitations in the
Stone and his officers refuse to recognize
the authority of the new board, and the
department IS all under his control.
Attorney Taylor, for Orr and Martin,
claims that Judge. Glynns decision does
not settle the matter, but that the case
stands just as 1t did the day. the appoin-
ments were made and before the injunction
was granted He has advised his associ-
ates as we'll as Chief Stone TO ignore any
orders Of the new board. If the old board
persists in it's refusal to give way counsel
for the new board will apply for writ of
mandamus. by which means the old men,
bers can be speedily ousted.
A report gained currency this afternoon
that Governor Waite flew into a passion
when he learned that the new board had
appointed Farley chief of police. and de-
clared he would remove his latest ap-
po:ntees. The Governor denied the story.
Late this afternoon counsel for Orr and
Martin took an appeal from the decision
of Judge Glynn to the Supreme Court on
the ground of error in dissolving the in
junction of Judge Graham. Upon the prom

PHILADELPHIA, March 26.-Judge Dali

Appeals, to-day affirmed the decree of the
Circuit Court of the eastern district of
Pennsylvania in the case Of the United
States government against the Sugar
Trust, TO the effect that the absorption of
the Philadelphia refineries by the Sugar
Trust was legal. This is a victory for the
trust. . The only question which the case

was a disadvantage to the army at its start
but l had a dispatch from General Coxey
telling me that ne had started and that
everything was encouraging.
Colonel Redstone's manner is less en-
thusiastic than ii has been and he evidently
does not feel as hopeful as his statements
would indicate. He has reduced his esu-
mate of those to appear here from 100000 to
100000. Letters are coming to the War De-

Washington and the peace OF mind of Con-
gress. These letters come from all quarters,
but their destination is the same-the de-
partmental waste basket, for they show
evidence of being the productions or cranks
or would-be practical jokers.

Insanity Proceedings to Begin To-Day

CHICAGO, March 26.-The attorneys for
Prendergast the assassin of Mayor Harri-
son, asked to-day for a special venire to
avoid delay in securing jury for the in

Chicago another surprise to-day. He has

time of the wedding. was engaged as a
house companion for the aged mother of
Judge Chetlain's fathers second wife. The
Judge resides in the outskirts of the city,
and, though he has two children, a boy
and girl. the fact of his marriage was
known TO but few. Another curious fact
is that Judge Chetlain was for a long time
