State Treasurer's Report.

State Treasurer Newton on Sept.
4th transmitted to Governor Peabody
his financial report for the semi-an-
nual biennial period, ending August 81,
1t shows that up to September LIST the
different state departments had prac-
tically used all OF the funds appro-
priated for their use during the year. or
all the funds there was any likelihood
of their getting, owing TO the deficit in
the revenues.
The board of health the humane
society and practically all of the minor
departments have absolutely no funds
at their disposal for the expenses OF
the next four months. The executive
departments are in nearly as bad a
position.
The decrease in the total valuation
OF state property will hardly exceed
SIT 600, 900, If 1t is that much. Alb
stracts of assessments have been filed
in the auditors office from forty-seven
of the fifty-nine counties. and, al
though practically all of them show a
slight decrease. the total is not nearly
half of what it was estimated by Audi
tor Holmberg week ago.
At that time less than forty counties
had been heard from. and, basing his
calculations on what had already come
in. Mr. Holmberg said that the total
valuation of the property would prob
ably be about 100000 900. instead of
the s35S, 600 on which they esti-
mated.
The forty-seven counties that have
sent in their abstracts show a total of
S232, ,503.S11 If the remaining twelve
counties show even the same valuation
as last year. which was little more
than $104. .596, ,l63. the total valuation
of the state will run up to 1887 .099, ,974.
leaving a shortage of 500, ,527.

MORE INDICTMENTS
FOR POSTAL FRAUDS

Washington, Sept. 12.-United States
District Attorney Beach to-day an
nounced that the six persons named in
the grand jury last Tuesday were:

tendent of the free delivery, SYSTEM, f,
Postofflce Department; James w. Err

Columbia Supply Company of that
city, and Eugene ID. Schebel of Toledo,
Ohio, dentist, and interested in the
firm of Maybury & Ellis of Detroit
Michigan, letter box manufacturers.
Some sensational charges are made.
The indictment against Beavers, Ma
chen and Erwin alleges that the Pos
tai Device and Improvement Company
of San Francisco, formerly the Mon
tague Indicator and Letter Box Com
pany, was composed almost entirely of
western postal employees; that in 1889
1t set aside 1000 shares of stock for
forwarding its interests and that
armed with this authority its president,
Daniel S. Richardson, and Inspector
Erwin came to Washington, saw Beav-
ers, Machen. Heath and others, and
got an order for equipping 2,0S9 letter
boxes with their device.
The Indictment says the company
was systematically relieved of its obli-
cations in the way of paying freight,
Grating. painting and printing cards
for the devices it was furnishing. The
indictment charges chat Beavers and
Machen owned stock under assumed
names. Most of the thousand shares
of stock set aside. the indictment says,
went to different postofiice officials and
again President Richardson came to
Washington and following an Increase
in the contract price he got for the
company, dividends were paid on the
stock.

Work of Rardonina Board.

Bert Feenan. who was sentenced to
the penitentiary from Arapahoe county
in September, 1902, for the reception
of stolen goods, was pardoned on the
4th inst. by the state board of par
dons. Florence Thurman. who stole
the goods. was sent to the peniten-
tiary for the ofrense and served her
time of one year. AS soon as she was
out she began to circulate the story
that Feenan was not to blame. This
fact was presented to the board OF
pardons with such force that it de-
cided to pardon the man.
John Heiman had his sentence COM
muted to three years from ten. Evil
dence presented to the board showed
that Heiman was only partly respon-
sible for the crime charged up against
him, that of passing counterfeit mon
ey in Pueblo. He was accused of and
sentenced because of the passing of a
50-cent counterfeit piece
Pardon was refused by the board In
the cases OF Otto Lehman, Joseph Par
ry and H. DeLoyell. and the cases of
Spencer Dicks and John p Black were
postponed for further investigation.

State VS.. stratton Executors.

The Denver Republican says: Some
question has been raised in regard to
the right of the State of Colorado to
demand the Stratton estate, because
OF the fact that the Will of the late
W. S. Stratton was not followed out
by the executors of the estate. 1t is
contended that the state has no right
to step In until year after the death
OF the man making his will, and until
the executors have settled the debts
of the estate. Mr.. Stratton died Sep
tember IA. 1902, but the executors were
not appointed officially until after the
will contest. This would mean then
that the state would have to wait
some time before it could file bill in
the state. The provision of the laws
OF the state relative to the settlement
of the debts OF the estate, however, is
said not to apply to the Stratton estate
as the estate had practically no debts.
This is the contention OF the attorney
general.
Attorney general Miller stated Sat
urday that for this reason he thought
that the state of Colorado would file
bill in the case some time during the
latter part of this month. Il do not
believe" said Mr.. Miller, that this
law applies to the Stratton estate with
any force, and Tor tnat reason we
shall file bill anyway. The fact that
we have already commenced the inner
itance tax case will not prejudice our
case in any way. and we shall proceed
to file the bill for the claim of the
state to the whole of the estate, re-
gardless of the fact that we have al
ready commenced another suit on the
estate"
Attorney General Miller has not yet
settled who the attorneys in the case
will be, as he has been occupied with
the Kansas-C Colorado water suit. These
will be made public at a later time.
