TREASURER CHIPLEY PAYS
SEVENTH ASSEMBLY WARRANTS

Denver. June 20.-The News this
morning says:
1T transpired yesterday that since
State Treasurer Chipley has been in
office he has paid out of the state
funds $4,000 of the unpaid and dis.
credited warrants issued by the fa
nous, or as 1t has been better named,
the "infamOus" Seventh General AS
semb'y. For twelve years state treas
urers have declined to pay these war
rants. For twelve years the holders
of them have failed to bring suit to en-
force their payment. Their validity
was assailed shortly after they were
issued and because they were assailed
and of the doubt as to their legality,
they have not been paid until now.
Treasurer Chipley claims 10 have
paid them upon the strength of the
opinion of Attorney General Post. The
attorney general refers in his opinion
to personal opinion given by Mr.. L.
+. Richardson of the firm of Patter-
son., Richardson & Hawkins, and an
opinion by the firm of Thomas, Bryant
Il Lee, both of which opinions affirmed
the legality of the warrants and held
that they should be paid. Ex-Assist.
ant Attorney General Calvin Reed pre-
pared and filed Il most exhaustive opin.
ion upon the subject-this was also re-
ferred to in General Posts opinion.
Treasurer Chipley seems to be backed
up by ample legal authority for the
extraordinary step he has taken"
The following is the full text of the
attorney generals opinion upon which
State Treasurer Chipley acted:

Looking for Br,dpe burners,

Denver, June 29.-Denver & Rio
Grande special agents and shcriffs in
the southern part of the state are
securing the country for bridge burn
ers. If the incendiarics are caught
there is strong probability that they
will be lynched.
Another bridge on the Denver & Rio
Grandc railroad was burned last
Thursday night. 1t was on the branch
road near Antonita. A train WAS
due while the bridge was burning, but
the fire was discovered and the train
tagged in time to prevent an accident.
Strenuous efforts We're made to save
the bridge, but it was almost totally
destroyed
This is the sixth bridge burned on the
Denver Il Rio Grande within week.

The Federal TruIf Inquiry.

II a secret investigation of trusts by
the federal government is actually in
progress. as reported, 1t may at least
serve the useful purpose OF revealing
the inadequacies of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Notwithstanding the popular clamor
for federal restraint OF the combines
the Sherman act represents the only
legislation OF that character enacted
by Congress. To go further than this
has been declared impossible without
violating the spirit or letter of the
Constitution, which guarantees unre-
stricted commerce between the states.
Amy inquiry started by the Attorney
General must therefore be made with
reference to alleged violations of the
Sherman act That this law Is inada-
quate when II comes to authorizing IN
reference with present industrial com
bines is plainly manifest to anyone
who is at all familiar with the nature
of these consultations. This act
prohibits agreements between individ-
uals or corporations where the natur-
al or direct effect of 1t is to regulate
or restrain interstate commerce. In
three cases involving the question OF
agreements to maintain rates ana
prices the Supreme court sustained
the law. Two of these were suits
against Joint traffic associations, while
one was suit against the Addyston
Pipe and Steel Company, which had
sought through an agreement to con-
troll the market for its commodity in
thirty-six states.

DIR. SWEET AT ELM PARK.
Filled the Pulpit of that Church at
Both Services.

Rev. DIR. j. II. Sweet, of Oneonta, N
Y, spoke to large congregations both
morning and evening yesterday in the
Elm Park church. Many members OF
his former flock at Simpson church us
tened to him at each service. Dr.
Sweet is so great a favorite in TINS
city that his coming back on this oc-
casion was welcomed most sincerely.
Last night he spoke from the text,
"The Lord God Is sun"
The sermon was one Of scholarly
ability and beauty of language. He
illustrated his subject by calling at
tention to the great centre of our solar
system. The relationship of the light
gained from the oil in the lamp as
originally derived from stored sun
shine of other ages, the problematic
sources of electricity, and the variety
of Illuminating powers in general were
considered. Life, too, must come from
the sun. All true robust life is devel-
oped in the sunshine. God comes as
| the great source of life in the world.
| If in the beginning God created the
greater light to rule the day, the les
ser to rule the night; If in the be-
ginning at Gods command life in man
appears, so life in the human race

sun of righteousness. All true spirit
| ual life comes from God. 1t is not the
| thought OF God that any man should
perish, but should come into eternal
| life.
The sun is the source of warmth
The annual coal products of the world
| is about 200 millions of tons. IT Is said
that If all this mass were set on fire

of a second to supply the heat which
| comes from the sun. If our earth were
but one mass of coal and the inhabi-
tants thereof were as stokers feeding
the furnaces of the sun they would
| be thirty hours of time keeping up it's
| fires. God is the sun whose warmth
and kindliness kindle the fires on the
affairs of our lives.
| We designate as revivals those sea-
sons when we meet together to warm
our chilled purposes and our hearts
and lives glow and throb together in
GOODNESS of the world as compared with
the warmth of Christian charity.
Warmed into kindly ways toward each
other the brotherhood of man and the
fatherhood of God are realized upon
the earth.
The sun is the source of fruitfulness.
| We should have no rich autumnal sea-
son without its shining All nature re-
spends to this power. 1t is the spirit
ual warmth which produces respon-
sivencss of life and soul in the work of
God. We are co-laborers with God
He shines into our souls and produces
the up-bringing of seeds of righteous
ness and holiness.

yesterday by Tribune man il he had
any statement to make in reply TO
Burgess Kennedys assertion that he
(Hufnagle) was bringing this prosecu-
ton because he was angry at council
for not building an emba ankment to
keep the water from running on his
land.

small portion of the land which would
be improved by this proposed embank-
ment. The officials of the coal COM
panies owning land there have been

securing the assistance Of the borough

want the borough to pay is the labor,
| the material is to be all furnished
The councilmen wouldn't agree to
