POPE LEO DIES SURROUNDED BY
HIGH OFFICIALS OF THE CHURCH

Rome. July 20.-Pope Leo is dead.
The last flicker Of life expired at four
minutes past O'Clock this afternoon,
and the pontiff now lies at rest.
His last hours were marked by in
tense pain. but he retained wonderful
control of his faculties. and before dy-
ing conferred upon Cardinal Oreglia

no less wonderful than his life. His
splendid battle against disease was
watched the world over with sympa-
thetic admiration and ended only af-
ter series of tremendous efforts to
conquer the weakness of his aged
frame by the marvellous will power of
his mind
The epleuro-pneumonia with which his
holiness had been suffering was scarce
ly so responsible for his death as that
inevitable decay of tissue which ensues
upon ninety-three years of life. The
tested steel which had bent SO often
before human ills was bound to break
at last.
Tonight the emaciated and lifeless
frame which held so brave spirit lies
on the bed in the Vatican, beside
which almost all the world has prayed

St John the Lateran.
Pope Leo's final moments were
marked by that same serenity and de-
votion. and when he was conscious,
that calm intelligence which was asso-
ciated with his twenty-five years pom
tificate. His was no easy death. An
hour before he died. turning to DR.
Lapponi and his devoted valet, Pho
Centra, he murmured:
THE pain l suffer is most terrible"
Yet his parting words were not of the
physical anguish that he suffered, but
were whispered benedictions upon the
cardinals and his nephews, who knelt
at the bedside, and the last look of his
almost sightless eyes was toward the
great ivory crucifix hanging in the
death chamber. Practically all the
cardinals now in Rome. kneeling at the
bedside. watched the passing of his
soul. Earlier in the day Cardinal Sera-
fino Vannutelli had impressively pro-
nounced the absolution in articulo
mortis.

Effect of Flat Tax Decision.

The decision in the fiat tax case at
ouray by Judge Theron Stevens does
not affect the cases against the Amer
lean Smelling and Refining Company.
now being prosecuted by the state. or
the pending cases against the railroads
wherein the state sues to collect the
amount due on the fiat tax for the past
two years. In discussing the subject.
Attorney General n. C. Miller said:
The question before Judge Stevens
was the validity of Section &C of the
Revenue Act of 1902. That statute
provides for the forfeiture OF the right
to prosecute or defend suits in law or
in equity to corporations which have
failed to pay the flat tax and this PEN
atty follows, If the statute is good,
without any hearing.
Now, what Judge Stevens has de-
cided, is that to deprive corporation
in such a manner of so important n
right, is in violation of our own as
well as the national constitution. The
ruling of Judge Stevens in no way af-
fects the case pending before Judge
Carpenter.
THE case before Judge Carpenter is
founded upon Sections SO and "a.
WHICH inlpOSt lAA UT llCellSt lee, anu
upon sections 81 and 6S, which provide
the mode of procedure on the part of
the auditor if the license fee is not
paid.
THE last of these sections provides
for the service of notice upon corpo-
rations in case they fail or neglect to
pay, and that their charters will be
forfeited and remain so until they pay
the tax. Here is notice provided for
which relieves these statutes, in my
Judgment, from the criticism of taking
away the right to do business without
due process of law. The latter phrase
has been litigated extensively and
some opportunity to be heard and con-
test seems to be the gist of the mean
ing of that expression, and the notice
to the corporation undoubtedly i'm
plies that the corporations have the
right to appear and show that the au-
ditor is mistaken and that the tax is
paid, and so make some response.
Our proceedings against the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company is
n quo warranto, in which the corpora
tion is having full hearing as to the
right of the state to deprive it of its
privilege of doing business in the
state,
Il understand that our courts forfeit
only the charters of domestic corpora
tions, the penalty as to foreign corpo-
radons is to deprive them of the right
to do business in the state. My own
notion is that this can only be done by
a direct proceeding and this is the
manner in which the question is now
submitted to Judge Carpenter.
Il consider the ruling of Judge Stew
ems has no bearing whatever upon the
pending case. We have other cases
against the railroads which will be
heard as soon as the issues can be
made up and the method of procedure
obviates all objections that Judge Ste
vvens is reported to have raised in his
decision"

of the governor to pass a general ap-.

two branches Immediately proceeded
to back and fill on an eight-hour meas
ure. The Senate Democrats introduced
a resolution that if the governor would
issue another call embodying an eight
hour proposition they would support it,
but it went over until to-day
The Republicans in the House eau
cused and decided to pass a resolution
to-day declaring that party ready to
stand by the governor should he deter
mine to call second extraordinary
session. The Democrats have gone
still further in political jockeying, and
have circulated petition among the
legislators to the governor for the sec
ond call.
AN appropriation bill was intro
duced in the House and passed first
reading. 1t is identical with the one
that passed the regular session. The

the responsibility for the bungling of
the appropriation bill, and the conse-

Democratic Senate. The resolution
was passed by strict party vote.

the governor with ignoring the de

call, promising the support of the SEN
