John W. Graney is free from the
charge of burglary preferred against
him In connection with the robbery OF
the street show window OF Albiez &
YOder's store at IA South Main street
about 10 days ago.
Graney's preliminary hearing was COM
menced in Justice Nelson's court We'd
nesday afternoon, but was not finished
until last evening.
The testimony for the defense was to
the effect that at the time the robbery
occurred Graney was in NOrmandy's sa =
loon.
He had been there quite while before
the event, while 1t was taking place and
after it was over. He had been married
that evening and was celebrating.
The alibi was so strong that the justice
concluded to turn the prisoner loose. and
pressed the button dismissing the
charge.

PLACE Is HARD TO FILL.
Many Difficulties in the Way of secur-
ing Meat and Milk Inspector.

Mayor Davey and his chief legal ad-
visor, City Attorney Lamb, are not
greatly impressed with the reported ac-
ton of the attorney general of state in
deciding that the appointment of meat
and milk inspector in all cities in the
state having a population exceeding 5000
is necessary.
The law is on the statute books. 1t
was placed there by the last general as
sembly, but it is surrounded with condi-
tions that so far the city officials have
been unable to find a person able to
qualify.
In the statute providing for the APP
pontments it is made a condition that
the meat and milk inspector shall be a
graduate in good standing of some reg
ular and reputable veterinary medical
college, recognized by the American
Veterinary Medical association and adj
mitted to practice within the state OF
Montana, and before such appointment.
he shall be required to exhibit his di-
plona as such graduate.

ter y Fish Company against the fire

Judge Palmer issued the injunction

the plaintiff rccites that the board and
chief of police are acting in violation
of the statute in interfering with the

The arguments used in the ease of
Cronin'S application We're that women
have the same rights rs men in this
state and these rights extend to the

PRESIDENT AND CABINET
CONSIDER CHINESE QUESTION

Ogden. Utah. May 26,-Mrs. McKin-
ley had passed a comfortable night
crossing the Sierras last night. but the
trip to-day was looked forward to with
some apprehension. The rain. howev-
err, relieved the anxiety. and DIR. Xix
ey reported tonight thnt Mrs. McKin-
ley was standing the trip very well.
She suffered no Inconvenience from the
rareticd atmosphere.
On the way back 10 Washington the
President ana members of the cabinet
are devoting a good deal of time to
h consideration of the Chinese situa-
ton. The d|eclination of the other
powers to join in the suggestion with
regard to scaling down the indemnity
demanded of China was a great disap-
poiutmcnt, though 1t could hardly be
said that II was entirely unexpected.
The necessities of European powers of
the maintenance of their large armies
and navies are perhaps Il factor in
their present action. Tie President and
members Of the Cabinet feel that this
government was right In protesting
against c%Nactions which might force
China TO the wall. and from the posi-
ton taken by the United States there
will be no retreat. The demands of
, 1901-05-30

the other powers are considered eXor-
bitant and likely if insisted upon to re-
suit ultimately in the crippling or dis
membcrment of the empire.
The United States will continue to
urge this view Mt every opIh rtunity.
If the powers proceed alone and force
China to accede to their demands, this
government. of course, will accept the
share of the indemnity assigned to it
on the present basis. II can distribute
such mou as is necessary to liqui-
date the claims of our citizens, and
subsequently determine, if such II
course should be determined wise,
whether all the remainder should be
retained by this government ms its
proper share. The United States is not
in favor of the proposed scheme TO
raise and guarantee an International
loan for China, mi Of the proceeds of
which she can liquidate her indebted
ness to the powers. The United States
is willing to accept the bonds of China
without indOrsemcnt by any power, Mt
3 per cent interest. and thus make
manifest 10 the world the sincerity of
the American profession proclaimed at
the very outset that the United States
desire to help China TO her feet, and
preserve her political integrity.

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
DOES NOT FOLLOW THE FLAG

its application TO territorial posses
sions. No such question rs Is now
presented had arisen in their minds.
The clause AL duties, imposts and
excuses shall be uniform throughout
the United States,' the court holds,
was placed in the Constitution as the
result of the ~jealousies of the states
which united in forming the nation.
1t was intended to prevent any state
or combination of states securing ad-
vantage of another or others; TO pre-
vent the ports of one state gaining
preference over those of another in
the Importation of goods.
This rule of uniformity was made
primarily for the states united, the
court holds, not for territories then
possessed, or aftcrward acquired. and
the constitutional requirement is sat
isfied as long as all duties on imports
are uniformly imposed at all the ports
throughout the United States. The ad-
vantage of this uniformity may be ex-
tended to territories and possessions
not states and not members of the
American Union, but that is for Con
gress to determine under the authority
of the Constitution.

NEW DECISION ON
TAXING MINES

Cripple Creek, Colo. May 24.-CDen-
yer Republican Special.)-Judge Seeds
in the District Court yesterday hand
ed down his decision in several peti-
tions brought by mining companies of
the district for correction of the assess
ment of taxation for 1900. UNFOLDING
the assessor. The cases have attract.
ed a great deal of interest.
= County Assessor Lysight, in assess.
ing non-productive mining property,
placed upon them n valuation based
on the prospective selling price. II
was an innovation and aroused the an.
tagonism of nearly every mining com
pany in the district. Heretofore il has
been the rule to assess non-productive
mining claims at n nominal figure, the
range being from $50 to $50 an acre.
The assessors Of other counties
throughout the state have followed
this rule, and the action of the Teller
county assessor was considered III
legal and unwarranted by the attor-
neys of the companies interested.
Hearings have been had on the case in
which prominent attorneys from all
over the state participated.
The judge, in rendering his decision,
says that no objection is made to in
CAPABILITIES in the prices fixed by the
assessor as TO the valuation of the
lands, but that the objection made is
that it IA unlawful 10 place such val.
uations. To this charge the judge can
not agree, and he argues. in an opinion

state constitution TO place the yalua.
ton for assessment purposes at some
thing near the selling value of the
property. He upholds the assessor in
every act. Attorney X. c. Schuyler.
counsel for the mining company, gave
notice of an appeal 90 the Supreme
Court.
Practically the financial condition
of Teller county is involved in the de-
cision, the tax levy having been made
on the assessed valuation. and should
the Supreme Court fail to sustain the
District Court. ii Will result in serious
embarrassment of the county. About

The three prisoners named have
been employed for several months in

. Harrington put on the o~verseer's
clothes while the other two convicts
who had hidden suits of plain clothes
in the kiln, replaced their prison garb
and walked out to liberty. If a guard
had seen them he would have sup
posed that two citizens We're being

AS soon as the three %convicts were
well outside, Rogers and Hawthorne

ton, being dressed as a guard, did not

the prison happened to go into the
lime kiln and found the overseer still
