FOR FEDERAL BU|LOING.
The site Selected is Located on
West Gold Avenue.
MONEY FOR SAME EN- ROUTE.

According to a special dispatch re-
ceived by the Denver Republican from
Washington, dated April z, a favorable
report has been made by the depart
ment of justice upon the site selected
by the government for the new federal
building at Albuquerque. The dis
patch states further that a treasury
warrant to pay for the property was
made out on that date and was mailed
to William j. Johnson, assistant
cashier Bank of Commerce, from
whom the property, located at the
northwest corner of Gold avenue and
Fourth street, was purchased at a
cost of $9,920.
Mr.. Johnson was seen by Citizen
representative this afternoon and
stated that he had not received the
treasury warrant, and that II mailed
on the date named in the dispatch,
il would not have had time to reach
him He also stated that he was noti-
fed some time ago that the depart
ment of justice had made a favorable
report and had been requested to have
deeds of property recorded and for
ward at once. He complied with the
request and was of the opinion that
the transaction had been satisfactory.

try and leaves ministers selected by
the people to manage public affairs.
Shrewd observers see many more
things in Belgium to cause grave con.
cern than the doinss of royalty. In
fact, Leopold might abdicate at any
moment, as 1t is believed he will one
of these days, without causing scarce
ly ripple on the surface. Socialism,
clericalism and other matters of like
Importance occupy the public mind.
One portion of the country hopes for
union with Germany and another looks
forward hopefully to a closer relation
ship with France. but neither faction
gives heed to the king or what might
become of him In case the hopes of
either were realized.
Were Belgium to become a republic
or be absorbed by either of her power
full neighbors the event would not
cause King Leopold much worry. On
the contrary, his majesty relieved
from all official cares, would doubtless
pass his old age in manner to be en-
We'd by most mortals. II is believed
that out of his Congo ventures he has
made gigantic fortune, and he has
prepared for himself, as though look
ing forward to giving up the throne, a
magnificent royal residence by the
blue waters of the Mediterranean.
The residence is built on the plateau
overlooking Villafranche, amid the
most enchanting scenery. Twenty
acres have been laid out In the dream.

the fragrant odors of southern vegeta.
tions prevade the domain. During the
last few years Leopold has steadied
down considerably, has lost his fond
ness for the incognito and the avenues
of pleasure, and has given himself
over largely to the pleasures of yatch
ing in waters remote from his little
kingdom.

Opinion of Lawyers.


New York, April 9.-One of the lead
ing counsel in the Northern Securities
case says:
"As yet this Is an undigested opin-
ion, but from the hasty glance | have
given it | call your attention to the
closing phrase of the judges order,
which practically nullifies the whole
effect of the decision. 1t provides that
the Northern Securities case may
transfer and assign and transfer the
stock of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads now held by it
to such person or persons as are now
the holders and owners of its stock
originally issued in exchange for the
stock of said companies. This right
of transfer is vital and it seems to me
renders nugatory the main conclusion
of the court. However, it is too early
to say much"
A representative of j. p. Morgan &
Co. said the decision put new light
on the entire matter and would enable
the lawyers of the Northern Securities
| company to work along new lines.
p Morgan refused to talk until he hat
read the full decision.

from Texas, shot and fatally wounded
Carroll Mix, of Fayetteville, Ark,

at ,5 West Ninth street today. AT the
police station later she refused to talk.
Mrs. Williams and Mix were former
sweethearts. The woman was desert
ed t. her husband some time ago in a
Texas town and until recently had
been in Fayetteville. Mix, it appears,
came to Kansas City few days ago
to e cape the woman, who had follow
ed him, apparently intent on taking
his life. Mix, who was taken to the
hospital in a dying condition, said he
had come to Kansas City few days
ago to get away from the woman and
said that he did not know she was in
fthe city.
Mrs. Williams is 80 years old and
Mix is 20.
Mrs. Williams, later in a state
ment to the prosecutor, admitted that
she had purchased the revolver with
which she shot Mix, month ago, and
that she had planned the shooting de
liberately. She was cool and collected
when arrested, but later in her cell be
came hysterical and expressed ex
treme sorrow for her deed.
The woman says that her husband Is

The mysterious find of yesterday
morning was undoubtedly a case
where parties in possession of stolen
supplies became alarmed at the ar

off suspicion. The stolen supplies.
which have already been recovered,
amounts to quite large sum, yet the

i've tax, having one piece OF property

Railroad and Copper avenues, which
brings in a good rental.
