GOV. JENKINS BOUNCED
FOR MISUSE OF OFFICE

Washington, Dec. 1.-The President
yesterday appointed Thomas b. Fergu-
son governor Of Oklahoma, vice Will
lam NJ. jenkins, removed. In taking
this action the President attached to
the papers the following memorandum:
Governor Jenkins of Oklahoma Is
hereby removed because Of his i'm
proper connection with a contract be-
tween the territory and the Oklahoma
Sanitarium Company. The decision Is
based wholly upon his own written
statements, and his oral explanations
Of them at the hearing.
zone of the duties of the territorial
governor is to enter into the contract
with some person or corporation for
keeping the insane of the territory.
Governor Jenkins made such contract
with the Oklahoma Sanitarium, cor
poratiOn, the promoters of which re-
served $4,000 of it's stock for the gov
ernor and subject to his orders.
I'm the governors explanation of the
affair he says he told the promoters at
the time they desired him to sanction
the contract that 1t was an important
contract; that L had some friends
whom would like to have interests in
the company, to which l owed some OBJ
legations which would not be able to
pay with an appointment or anything
of that kind The stock was delivered
to banker subject to the governors S
order and was turned over. to these
friends whose political services the
governor thus sought to reward.
1.-THE extent Of the favor to the gov
ernor and his friends Is suggested by
the fact that the only known sale of
the stock since the contract was given
out was Mt double the price paid for 1t.
"As performance of the contract was
to be the sole business Of the corpora
ton, 1t Is obvious that the territory. was
obligated to pay far more than the SER
vice was worth, or that its helpless
wards were to have the enormous prof
its contemplated taken out Of their
keep.
1.-THE governors confessed relations
to the matter displayed such n lack of
appreciation OF the high fiduclary ma
ture OF the duties of his office as to
unfit him for their further discharge.
"A sound rule OF public policy and
morals forbids public servant from
seeking or accepting any personal bene-
fit In transaction wherein he has n
public duty to perform.
"A chancellor would not for one mo-
ment retain trustee, who, in dealing
for the trust, reserved an advantage to
himself. The thought Is not to be toll
Grated that the President can be less
vigllant and exactlng In the public in
terest."
The above memorandum Is signed by
the President.

SILVER DEPRECIATION MAKES
TROUBLE in THE PHILIPPINES

Manila, Dec. 2-The financial situa-
ton in the Philippines islands is caus-
ing much alarm. In an interview pub
lished in Manila, Henry G. Ide, chief
of the Department of Finance and JUS
tice, referred to the probable enforce
ment of an alteration in the immedi-
ate future of the present parity of two
Mexican dollars for one gold dollar.
The United States postoffice here now
refuses, except to government en-
ployes, to issue money orders in ex-
change for Mexican silver. The banks
of Manila have been making from six
to eight per cent. on exchange. Mer-
chants and others are forced to carry
their accounts in Mexican silver. The
commercial community had relied up
on the United States Philippine Com
mission to continue the situation of
two Mexican dollars for one gold dol
lar, which the commission itself ere
ated. The commission is unable to act
in the matter without the authority of

General Manager Skinner, basing an
estimate on this crowd. said the days
attendance would be between 10000
and 10000.
At the formal opening last night Sec
retary Wilson was greeted with loud
applause. His remarks were largely
on the Importance Of the cattle busi-
ness In the United States. He said
that while the cattle exports from this
country were worth $S.OOO.0OO the

DENYER'S CITY HALL BUILDING
PARTLY DESTROYED BY FIRE

shortly after the alarm was sounded,
when five firemen were entrapped on
narrow cornice on the tower on the
Larimer street side and stood in the
midst Of smoke and flames for nearly
half an hour before their companions
were able to rescue them.
Nearly all of the city officials were

utes after the first alarm was sounded.
1t was ut first believed that the fire
could be confined to the top floor, but
when 1t was seen that there was dan

documents and records from the va

and firemen rushed into the building
to carry out armfuls of big books,
packages of papers. maps and furni-
ture. Notwithstanding their efforts
many valuable documents, 4maps,
drawings and records were destroyed
by fire and water. SD.
The loss on the building ia estimated
at about $4,000
The loss on furniture is amply COW

REHEARING IS DENIED
IN THE REVENUE CASE.

Denver, Dec. 3.-As was expected by
many, the Supreme Court yesterday
denied the petition of the corporation
attorneys for rehearing in the reve
nue. law case, or that portion of 1t re-
lating to the writ of prohibition
granted the state making imperative
writ in mandamus issued by Judge
Dixon of the District Court of Pueblo.
The opinion is by Justice Gabbert,
Chief Justice Campbell not participat-
ing.
The court also announced that fur
ther argument in the matter of the
contempt proceedings would be heard
next Saturday morning.
In the denial of the petition for a re-
hearing, Judge Gabbert to some extent
simplifies his reasoning In his concur
ring opinion with Judge Steele on the
original case.
'T'he solution of this proposition"
says he, depends primarily upon an
answer to this question: Can the judi
cial directly prohibit the executive de-
partment from executing laws govern
mental In their nature? When the ques-
ton arises whether one department Is
encroaching upon the authority of an
other the courts must become the final
arbiters. When this question Is be-
tween the judicial and either Of the
other departments, the judiciary must
be just as careful In marking the line
between their authority and either of
the others as II the contest was one Of
power and authority between the other
departments. BY the constitution of
the state, our government Is divided
into three coordinate branches-legis-
lative, executive and judicial. The con-
stitution Is the paramount law. Each
department derives Its authority from
that source. The power of each Is
limited and defined. Each is clothed
with specific powers. The result Of
this distribution of power is that each
stands on an equal plane; neither is
superior to the other. and each acting
within Its proper sphere Is supreme
In proper action the validity of the
law may be raised. but not In one in
which would result In the court nssum-
Ing an authority which does not exist
in fact, under our form OF government,
Is impliedly prohibited by the consti-
tuition"

Denver, Dec; Fire, which 1t is
supposed was of incendialy origin,
partly destroyed Denver's city hall
last night. City officials are without
offices and the Police Department has
no Jail for its prisoners, valuable rec
ords, maps and plans have been lost
and the greater part OF the furnishings
OF the building are destroyed.
Within an hour last night three fires
were discovered in different parts Of
the big building.
At $50 o'clock Police Clerk Robert
N. Pearson and Fred Boyer, chief IL
cense clerk, discovered a fire in the
basement. A closet under the stair
way leading from the basement to the
first floor Of the building, which had
been filed with rags and paper, was
the scene of the first blaze, which was
extinguished with little difficulty.
At 6:15 o'clock A. l.. Bing and Ed
ward Richards, who were in the oper-
ators' room on the fourth floor of the
city hall, ON the Fourteenth and Mar
ket street corner, discovered that there
was fire in the dressing room of the
gymnasium, located above the oper-
ators' room. Upon investigation they
found the lockers which lined the
rooms were in flames. The operators
notified the firemen in the basement of
the city hall and the blaze was ex-
tinguished with little difficulty.
In an attempt to save official records
and valuable documents several per-
sons were injured. The immense
