Leadville, Col, Feb. TO- Nothing but
the most heroic efforts on the part OF
the railroads entering Leadville will
prevent the fires from dying in the
smelter stacks and under the boilers
of the mines that are forced to pump
constantly and in which the drawing
of the pumps would cost months Of
time and enormous sums of money.
Seven cars of coal remain for the
pumping association that is unwater-
ing the down town mines and aside
from these the bins of every coal deal
er in the city are practically empty.
A week of open track would be neces-
sary to resupply Leadville with coal
and coke and even with the lines
opened and an assured supply it would
require this length of time to fully re-
lieve the situation.
The supply OF provisions is running
short in Breckenridge and Kokoma,
which are shut off from communica.
ton with the outside world by rail.
In Kokoma hams sell at 81 pound
and other meats in proportion. There
is no butter left in the town.

THE EXTRA SESSION LEGAL.
District Judge Hazen Decides Against the
Attorney Gensral--sAyA Gov. Leedy Had
Right to Convene Legislature

Topeka, Kan, Feb. S.-Judge Hazen,
of the district court, handed down an
opinion in which he held that the re-
cent special session of the legislature
was constitutional and legal and all
all it's acts, therefore, legally passed.
The case calling for this decision was
one begun by ex. Lieut. Gov. A. NJ. Har-
vey, in which Harvey brought man
damus proceedings against State
Auditor Cole, to compel him to issue
a warrant in payment of his (Har-
vey's) services as president of the
senate during the special session.
Every contention made by Attorney
General GODDARD in his recent opinion
and in his argument in this case was
overruled. Mr.. GODDARD saved excep.
tions to Judge Hazen's decision, so
that he could carry the case to the
supreme court, but announced after
wards that he hardly thought he
would carry the case higher. If Judge
Hazen's decision is allowed to stand,
it will legalize all of the special ses-
sion, which include the railroad, tele,
graph, express, insurance and general
corporation laws, as we'll as about so
others of less Importance. Here are
the principal points decided by Judge
Hazen:
Gov. Leedy did not, In calling the special ses-
sion, overstep the power granted 10 the gov
ernor by the constitution. The power to call u
special session carries with IT the power TO de-
termne what IS an extraordinary occasion.
The governor is the sole judge Of this matter
and his decision is not subject to review by the
courts.
II was not necessary that the governor should
state In his proclamation that 1t was an extra
ordinary occasion The fact that he called the
special session was sufficient evidence that one
existed. The courts cannot go into the ques-
ton Of whether or not 1t was an extraordinary
occasion.
The legislature cannot change the district
member for the term to which he was elected,
therefore the re-apportiOnment law OF 1897 did
not affect the district members then elected aud
did not become operative until the present
members we're sworn In.
The term OF legislator begins not when he
is elected MS contended by Attorney General
GODDARD. but on the second Tuesday In January
When Gov Leedv convened the legislature h9
did not convene the newly elected members for
the reason that they had not been sworn In at
that time and hence were not members Of tho
legislature, and for the additional reason that
they had not yet met and organized.
When governor convenes legislature he
does it as an organized body and does not call
the individual members as such.
