Alarm on london Exehanae.

London. Sept. 29.-The renewed
heavy realizations. chiefly in the best
investment securities. caused a demor-
alization on the stock market yester-
day, almost amounting to panic. Con-
suls once touched S71a being a full
point beneath the lowest reached dur
ing the Franco-German war
The heavy liquidation is said to be
due to the needs of American finan-
ciers and spectators. Great appre-
hension is felt regarding the position
of Wall street, and anxiety is enter
tanned concerning the stock exchange
settlement here on Wednesday. There
are rumors of probable failures which,
in the best informed quarters. however,
are said to be exaggerated.
The slump in the United States steel
stock caused some anxiety as to its
probable effect on Carnegie's library
endowments. 1t is said. however. that
Mr. Carnegie views the slump with ut
most compacency. An appeal to him
to-day on this subject ELECTED the fol-
lowing response:
Mr. Carnegie never owned any sec
ond mortgage bonds or shares of the
United States steel trust. His bonds
are first mortgage bonds covering all
the property. and are not quoted upon
the stock exchange.

Colorado Forest Reserves.

E. II. Allen OF Washington, d. c., dis
trict chief OF the Federal Bureau of
Forestry's Investigations OF proposed
new forest reserves in Colorado. Idaho
and Montana. has returned to Denver
to inspect the seasons work OF his as
sistants and conclude the examinations
in this state. His reports will be pre-
pared during the next two or three
months, and the governments final ac-
ton upon the areas involved may be
expected by the first of the coming
year. Examinations are being made OF
nearly all the mountain areas of Colo
rado which are important to the pro-
lection OF irrigation streams, including
the San Miguel and La Plata ranges in
southwestern Colorado: the San Juan.
Cochetopah and Sangre de Cristo
ranges, which surround the watershed
of the Rio Grande; the Wet mountains
in Custer county; the West Elk and Sa-
guache ranges on the Gunnison; the
Uncompahgre plateau: the Park and
Medicine Bow ranges In northern Colo
rado, and several proposed small ad-
ditions to the present South Platte and
Pixies Peak group of reserves.
Mr.. Allen states that, while large
area has been investigated, the resi-
dents of Colorado have no cause to fear
wholesale reservation OF lands more
valuable for other purposes. The gov
ernment exercises much more care in
this respect than in the past. and the
Investigations cover every aspect OF the
problem. The importance of the irri-
cation and other interests to be bene-
flied Is ascertained and compared with
tnat of those which may be opposed;
the relation OF the forest to the water
supply is studied and the timber is
carefully mapped so that the reserve
will include no agricultural land.
Farming. grazing and mining are con-
sidered. SO that none shall be done an
Injustice. The policy is to create small
reserves where they are needed rather
than to include large general areas.
The occasional opposition to re-
serves. Mr.. Allen asserts. nearly al
ways is due to misapprehension. Where
the people. especially the miners and
farmers, have become familiar with the
policy they are its fast supporters. The
object is not TO prevent utilization OF
timber and range. but to prevent their
destruction by fire and wasteful use.
A fire patrol is maintained and fund
kept available to pay settlers who as
slst IN emergencies MINING laws ap-
ply in reserves exactly as elsewhere.
Settlers and prospectors are allowed
free timber for all their needs. Lumber
companies. large mines and similar
enterprises may purchase timber and
thus help develop the country. but are
required to take precautions against
fire and are restricted to the economi
cal use of mature timber not needed
Inv local raefdaufq mr. r1tnprq
Grazing is restricted only so far as
necessary to prevent overstocking the
range or protect settlers of the region
from outside stock. In allotting the
range the actual. resident of the re-
serve is given first preference, the man
living nearby is second in considera-
tion and the outsider comes last. Only
residents of another state are positive
ly excluded.

school Fund Decision.

Mrs. Helen Grenfell. state superin-
tendent of public instruction, has an
swered the letter of C. f. Hagar. Sec
retary of the state board of charities
and correction. relative to the claim
which Mr.. Hagar has made on the
general funds OF the state for the ben
eft of the children confined in the va
rious state institutions. Mrs. Grenfell
stated in her letter to Mr.. Hagar that
1t was her opinion that those confined
in state institutions were not entitled
to any part of the general school fund.
She claimed that the children in these
homes are not properly school children
and for this reason the institutions
should have no aid from the general
school fund.
Mrs. Grenfell gave out the following
statement OF the case:
1.-THE state board of charities and
correction. through Its secretary. @. e..
Hagar, has requested from the super
intendent of public instruction, Mrs.
II. l.. Grenfell. an opinion IN relation
TO the question as to whether children
of school age in custody of the state
of Colorado in its several institutions
are entitled to n share of the school
fund of the state. II so. what steps
should be taken to obtain the same.
The information given Is to the effect
that in accordance with former deci-
sions, when no especial provision for
teaching has been specified or provid-
ed for In the funds supplied for the
maintenance of the institution. and
when such children have no parents or
guardian living elsewhere in the state,
the school district in which such a
state institution is located is entitled
to place the namcs of such children
upon the census list of the district and
to draw corresponding per capita
from the general school fund. the in
stitution itself having no legal right
to any portion of this fund. which is
entirely controlled by the district
school board. In case any portion
of the school fund of the dis
trict being used TO employ a teach
er to instruct such children. the
employment would be made by the
district board, and It would be neces-
sary for the teacher to possess n teach
er's certificate obtained from the prop
er state or county authorities.
"An opinion given by Attorney Gem
eral Miller is in accordance with the
deciaions given by the superintendent
of public instruction. but in ad-
dition states that houses of cor
rection and other places of confinement
for incorrigible children do not belong
to the common school system of the
state. being institutions of involuntary
confinement, whose inmates should be
enumerated where their parents reside.
and also that orphans confined in such
institutions do not gain a residence in
the district where the institute is
located

JUDGE Lewis Nominated.

Denver. Sept 2s.-The Republicans
of the Fourth Judicial District last
night nominated Robert Il. Lewis of
El Pnso county for judge of the Fourth
Judicial District. The convention was
one of the shortest on record and from
the time that the meeting was called
to order by the temporary chairman,
Senator l.. G. Campbell. until Judge
Lewis finished his address of accept
ance. but forty minutes elapsed. This
was due to the fact that the contro-
versy in the district had been settled
in Colorado Springs when w. c. Rob
inson and ]. w. Sheafor appeared in
opposition to Judge Lewis.
Judge Robert Graham of Teller coun-
ty made the nominating speech and
this was responded to by Judge Lewis
in fitting address. The counties of
the district named their members of
the executive committee, and James
F. Burns. the Cripple Creek mine
owner. was made the chairman of the
executive committee.

HEAVY SALES OF STOCKS THAT
VASTLY PUZZLE WALL STREET

New York. Sept. 29.-wall street
spent another gloomy day yesterday
which was devoted mostly to trying TO
puzzle out where the unending stream
of liquidation came from and what
caused it Information on the subject.
or even authoritative opinions were ex-
tremely hard to get. II is pointed out
that the great bankers and capitalists
were not heard If in warning last year
during the high range OF prices. while
they were seeking a profitable market
for their holdings at that level. From
this II is inferred that the buyers OF
class which decides market movements
would not be heard OF melting others
to buy II they were themselves seeking
securities on cheap terms in the pres
ent market.
There is. in fact. rather a notable
lack of public quotations OF authorities
pointing to the cheapness of stocks,
which has been heard from time TO
time during the course of long de
cline and at price levels considerably
above the present. But 1t is equally
true that men seeking a market to re-
alize ready money at forced sale of Sc
curities are not likely to miss any
means of concealing their transactions,
The source of selling orders in the
present market is a battling mystery.
and inferences usually drawn from the
personality of the brokers employed
are almost invariably at fault.
The conditions which prompt the
liquidation and probable limits of this
extent are consequently the subject of
grave disauiet and apprehension. II

over the present situation. The re-

the high interest rates. especially on

mercial and industrial needs of credits

JUDGE WEAVER TO ATTACK
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
He Contends the Legislature Has No Authority
for Cutting Up the Biennial Period in Six
and Eishteen-Month Sections. C

Judge Weaver was asked by an Ad-
vertiser reporter if, in the public ac-
counts, a balance carried over. from
December 81 to January 1 would not
form part of the current receipts Of
the eighteen months beginning with
January 1.
His reply was that the wording of
the first section Of Act Is precluded
such an escape from the dilemma.
The words from all the current re-
ceipts Of the general revenue for the
period commencing with the first day
of January, A d. 1904 as plain Ian
guage meant the current receipts for
that period, thus shutting out all mon
eys, if they amounted to a million dol
lars, obtained from the current receipts
of the previous six months.
Judge Weaver's specific grievance
arises from a blunder the Legislature
made in starting the Court of Land
Registration within the present six
months without providing for it's ex-
penses. In the shutting of bills be-
tween the two houses an item for ex-
penses of that court was negligently
left out of the six months bill, while
one was inserted in the eighteen
months bill.
Before the Judge was aware Of the
legal impeachment to establishing his
authorized. he had incurred obliga-
tons on account of the court amount
ing to $500. His salary and that of
| the registrar are provided for in the
salaries bills for both the periods in
question. That of r. N. Boyd, deputy
registrar and clerk, is payable out OF
the expenses allowance, but there being
none such for the six months, as al
| ready stated, he las brought suit
against the Auditor on his own account
for the issuance OF warrant Of pay.
Judge Weaver hopes that other off,
Gals and departments up against diff
ficulties from the Legislatures divis-
ion of the biennial period into quarter
and three-quarter sections will make
common cause with him in proceeding
to have the sections of the current ex.
holds illega' declared rull and void.
