WANTS A STATE
BOARD OF ASSESSORS

Denver. Colo. Nov. Il. - Attor-
ney General C. c. Post will recon-
mend in his biennial report that the
constitution of the state of Colorado be
amended to permit the establishment
of State Board of Assessors. such as
was created by the revenue law of 1901.
declared unconstitutional by Judge
Dixon and Judge Riner. The attor-
.ney generals report will be presented
to the governor about December 1st.
and the above will be the most i'm
lportant recommendation
! 81 will also advocate the establish
ment of permanent land board said
General Post Il believe that entirely
too much work is put on the state Off
cials by the necessity of attending TO
the business of these two boards OF
equalization and land, and | think ther
ought to be provision of the statutes
or constitution making these two
boards entirely separate from the elect
ed administration. That would take an
immense amount of work off the shoul-
ders of the governor. attorney gen
eral. superintendent of schools, audit
or and other officials. and would per-
nit them to devote more time to the
details of their official work. at present
looked after by assistants.
THE Board of Assessors. as things
stand. can be created only by constitu-
tional amendment. Such board was
created by the revenue law of last year
but was declared unconstitutional by
two judges. fought their decisions.
and still think this the most import
ant and useful provision of the law.
But. if it is unconstitutional, we ought
to amend the constitution so as to per-
nit the establishment of the board. 1t
will relieve the officials who have
enough to do in the work of their re-
spective Offices
AS to the land board. its import
ance and the growing amount of bust
mess it handles show more and more
the need of putting its work into the
hands of board especially appointed
for the purpose shall urge these two
changes most strongly in my report"

HEALING oCnOGL
MAY GET MAIL

Washington, Nov. l7.-Justice Peck
ham of the United States Supreme
Court to-day delivered an opinion in
the case of the American School Of
Magnetic Healing VS.. J. NJ. McAnulty.
postmaster at Nevada. Missouri where
the school is located. The proceeding
grew out of a fraud order issued by the
Postoffice Department prohibiting the
postmaster from delivering mail ad-
dressed to the school.
The original Dill asked for an injunc-
ton to prohibit the postmaster from
Obeying this order. On trial in the
United States Circuit Court for the
western district of Missouri the depart
ment's order was sustained on de-
murrer To-days' opinion reversed that
judgment. but in delivering it Justice
Peckham said there was 10 intention of
passing upon the various constitutional
objections set out in the bill, the inten-
ton of the court being to simply hold
that the admitted facts show no viola
tion of the statutes cited but an erro-
neous order given by the postmaster
general to the defendant which the
courts have the power to grant relief
against" The action of the court was
accompanied with instructions to the
lower court to 'Overrule the defend
ants demurrer to the amended bill,
with leave to answer and to grant
temporary INDUCTION as applied for by
complainants."
The opinion added "In overruling
the demurrer. we do not mean to pre-
clude the defendant from showing on
the trial, if he can. that the business OF
the complainants as in fact conducted
amounts to violation of the statutes"
Justices White and Mckenna did not
concur in the opinion.

Election Frauds In New York.

New York, Nov. 1.-Two district
captains in the Ninth assembly dis
trict have been held by Magistrate Bar
low in bonds of $4,5G0 each, to answer
charges of violating the election law.
The evidence in the case was procured
by six young cOllegians, who volun-
teered their services to Superintendent
of Elections McCullagh. One of these
young men is said to be millionaire,
another is physician and the four re-
manning are medical students.
They claim to have made themselves
noticeable around West Twenty-sixth
street just before election day. Dis
guised as tramps, they were accosted
by workers, who. after becoming ac-
quainted, disposed of them in various
rooms On election day they say. they
were provided with slips bearing the
names of men who had registered in
good faith but who had been called
away. In this manner, they say, they
voted many times apiece and for each
ballot they received 50.
Superintendent McCullagh's depu-
ties at the polls, it was charged. We're
aware of the movements. The ballots
are said to have been marked for iden-
tif1cation. The plan came near ending
,disastrously in one booth. where the
alleged repeater had been provided
with slip bearing the name of a ne
gro. The exposures have caused "a
sensation among the politicians of the
district, as the officials claim the agents
were admitted to the clubs and availed
themselves Of every opportunity for
collecting information.

GAMBLERS MUST STAY IN JAIL.
Governor Orman Declines to Interfere
in Their Behalf.

Denver, Nov. 1S.-Governor Orman
has declined to pardon the Colorado
City gamblers. He decided yesterday
to refuse the appeal for remission of
the fines and jail sentences imposed
by Judge Cunningham of Ell Paso
county and the four gamblers and one
saloonkeeper will have to pay the pen
alties imposed. Great pressure was
brought on the governor to remit the
Jail sentences, but there was even
heavier pressure from the law and or,
der element, which the executive could
not withstand.
When it was found that a political
effort was being made to secure pei
dons, great Indignation was aroused
among the decent element of Colorado
Springs and Ell Paso county. A peti
tion signed by nearly every Demo
cratic ofticeholder in Ell Paso county
had been presented to the governor,
asking the pardon of the men, and
delegations of politicians visited the
capitol and used every argument they
could bring to bear. These were fol
lowed by similar visits from the law
and order people, who brought in pc
titions containing several thousand
names. begging the governor to let
the law take it's course.
The anti-gambling crusade culmi"at-
ed Sunday night with mass meetings
in every church in Colorado Springs
and Colorado City, at which prominent
people addressed the crowds and
voiced the strong sentiment against
the gamblers which started the move
ment. President Slocum of Colorado
College and other leading citizens Wis
tied the governor and informed him
Of the effect his support of the polti-
clans would have. At the Sunday
night meetings they did not hesitate
to speak in very plain language.
Yesterday Governor Orman an
nounced that he had examined the pc
titions for both sides. and had also
reviewed the court proceedings: q
have given careful consideration to
both sides of the case said he, "and
have also reviewed Judge Cunning
hams decision. | have decided that
the decision and sentences were in ac
cordance with the law, and | shall up
hold them. | can see no reason for in
terferng with the sentence OF the
court"

A. F, OF l.. WILL
FIGHT FOR PEACE

New Orleans La. Nov. 15-The Far
floor OF the American Federation of La
Dor convention yesterday A resolution
has been formulated that is intended as
q death blow to the American Labor
Union, the big western rival of the
American Federation. 1t is provided
that upon the passing of the resolution
that all unions holding charters in the
western concern must either draw out
of 1t and come to the Federation alone
or else their charters will be revoked
without ceremony. A campaign look
ing to the pushing of this measure was
opened. and it is said the Colorado del
egation will largely support it.
A resolution was introduced propos-
ing to remove the national headquar-
tiers from Washington to Denver
Some of the most interesting features
Of the day came from delegates over
the Rockies. A. Furnsith Of San Fran
cisco introduced resolution asking
the Federation of Labor to go on record
as opposed to the building of the Mica
,ragua canal. on the ground that it
would stir up strife among the small
Latin states and would precipitate
bloodshed. Another by Furnsith was
in opposition to the subsidy bill.
The great fight of the industrial or
CARNATIONS was placed on the boards
to-day and tonight. The executive
council Is hearing the arguments Of
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners. who demand the revoking of
the charters Of the Amalgamated
iWoodworkers and Of the Amalgamated
Society of Carpenters; also the fight of
the Garment Workers of America, who
ask for the scalp of the clothing work
iers of the West.
Resolved, That we declare our un-
faltering fealty to the trade labor
= movement of our country. devoting our
best efforts to the uplifting of the wage
earners Of our country. giving them
hopes and encouragement and appeal
ling to them to unite with organized
workers, SO that the fraternity of man
of the world may be achieved at the
earliest possible date"
This is the message sent out by the
American Federation of Labor on the
,twenty-first anniversary of its birth to
the laboring men throughout the
world.
The committee on resolutions report
ed favorably on the motion declaring
against the ship subsidy bill, and after
q warm debate it was adopted.
Other resolutions reported by the
committee and on which action was
taken are as follows:
For the enactment of mining laws in
the Indian territory providing for the
licensing of mining engineers and
hosting engineers. Adopted.
Other resolutions introduced to-day
were:
That the good offices of the incoming
executive council be asked to secure
the enactment of national law for
disabled working people, and to pro-
vide system Of national insurance for
their assistance during enforced idle
ness.
That the American Federation of La
Dor apply to Congress to submit to the
Legislatures OF the several states a
proposition for an amendment to the
general constitution which shall pro-
hibit money fines in court and put the
administration Of justice to rich and
poor upon the same footing"
That the time is ripe for the organ
ization into union bodies of the school
teachers in all sections of the country.
