Moses Hallett, Judge Of the United
States District Court, has made the
following statement: Il have seen
paragraph in the daily papers to the
effect that the Judge Of this court Is
about to go abroad and the court Will
consequently be adjourned. This Is
pure invention on the part of some one
unknown to me. There is no plan or
expectation on the part Of any one con-
nected with this court to go abroad or
to leave the district Of Colorado ut any
time during this year. Possibly the In
yentor Of the rumor did not intend to
interfere or interneddle with the pub
lie business. Possibly he had only an
intention to fill up his newspaper with
something that people would be likely
to read. Whatever his purpose was,
he does in fact interfere with the pub
lie business by Leading suitOrs In this
court to believe that there Will be an
early adjournment Of court. We ex-
pect to continue the business OF the
term In the usual way until business
which Ia ready for the consideration Of
the court shall have been presented and
disposed Of"
