Attorney General Returna.

Attorney General N. C. Miller re-
turned October 10Th from Washington.
where he went to file the amended an
swer of the state of Colorado in the
kansas-Colorado water suit. Mr.. Mil
Ter stated that the supreme court sat
on October II, and, that on that day he
filed with the court the amended an
swer in the case. He stated that other
lawyers from Denver and Colorado ap-
peared before the court at that time,
among them being Clyde Dawson, T.
G. Goodale and Joel F. Vaile.
THE next STEP" said General Mil.
ler last night, 'is the filing of replica
tions on the part of the state of Kan
sas. Kansas, too, probably will take
exception to a point raised in the
amended answer of Colorado. That
point Is the one concerning the fact
that certain citizens of Kansas should
have been Joined in the case on the
Kansas side. This exception will be
filed with the court some time probably
before the first of the year and the su-
preme court may then be in position
to announce at what time it will hear
arguments on the exception.
THE last answer of the other de-
PENDANTS in the case may be filed up
to November II. Il believe" contin-
ued Mr.. Miller. that we have an excel
lent case and that Kansas will find that
it has very little ground on which to
stand. That has been my opinion ever
since I was connected with the case
and am still firm in that belief. be-
lieve that the arguments set forth by
the state of Kansas have been COM
pletely answered.
Some time after the first Of the year
I presume that the matter Of the Su-
preme Court taking jurisdiction in this
case will come up for argument"

WOMAN MURDERED
AT CRIPPLE CREEK

Denver, Oct. PA Cripple Creek
dispatch last night says:
Grace Calhoun. dance house girl,
was shot and probably fatally wounded
by Charles ('Slim") Campbell. a strik-
er, on Meyers avenue at 1925 o'clock
this morning. The woman is lying at
the county hospital at the point OF
death, while her assailanf is still at
liberty. The trains are closely watched
and as he is well known it will be diff
ficult for him to escape.
Campbell and q few companions had
been drinking heavily during the day
and toward morning in a spirit of ma
licious mischief he unhitched a horse
belonging to cavalryman and turned
1t loose. The horse was found by the
night marshal and tied up in a vacant
lot. ABOUT 3:15 the soldier found his
horse and was walking up Meyers ave-
nue. leading the animal when he en-
countered Campbell and his friends op-
posite the woman's house at 1888 Mey-
ers avenue. The soldier accused Camp
bell Of removing his horse. when the
latter reached down his boot and drew
O revolver concealed there Earlier In
the night the party had been searched
by the night marshal and three revol-
vers were taken from them.
When Campbell drew the pistol the
Calhoun woman stepped between the
two men. Campbell pointed the weap-
on at her head. Sne sneeringly re-
marked, THAT doesn't scare me: l eat
those things for breakfast every MORN
ing" This seemingly angered Camp
bell, for he Immediately lowered the
weapon to q level with the woman's
breast and pulled the trigger. The bull
let entered above the left nipple and
passed out under the left shoulder
blade close to the spine. As the woman
fell Campbell turned and ran.

Washington. Oct. 24.-The annual
report of Commissioner General Sar-

shows q large increase of steerage i'm
migration over that Of the preceding
year, the aggregate for the fiscal year
Of 1908 being S57.046. an excess over
that of last year Of 20S,S03. or thirty
two per cent.
The statistics show an increase OF
immigration from all foreign sources,
suggesting as the chief cause OF the lne
fiux of aliens into the United States
during the year the inducements Of
fered to settlers here, rather than any
special causes of discomfort in their
own countries. OF the total steerage
immigration there came from Europe
1S45O7, from Asia .966 and from all
other sources 1858. If to these figures
are added those representing the total
arrivals of alien cabin passengers, Ca

M0HONK CONFERENCE ADOPTS
PLATFORM REGARDING INDIANS

Lake Mohonk. N. r.. Oct. 24.-The
leading address at the Mohonk Indian
conference yesterday was made by E..
B. Henderson Of the Indian bureau OF
the problem how to secure from lands
allotted to the Indians in severalty q
revenue by taxation for the mainte-
nance Of the schools, highways, etc.
The white population Of the Indian
territory, the speaker said, was at a
lower normal and intellectual status
and more in need of schools and other
institutions of civilization than the In
dians. and these can only be main
tanned under some system of land tax
alton. He did not believe that Indian
citizens generally should be exempted
from taxation, the aged Indians who
might easily become victims of un-
scrupulous whites being excepted.
The school population of the Indian
territory was stated to be about 6O0.-
900 whites and 10000 Indians and the
children Of whites have fewer advan-
tages than the Indian youth and are
growing up in gross ignorance and
vice.
Miss Alice Robertson of Muskogee
referred to the deplorable conditions of
the insane and other dependents in the
territory for whom no provision could
be made under the territorial laws.
A resolution was adopted asking that
congress make some provision as soon
as possible for extending school privi-
leges to the whites of the territory.
A platform presented by DR.. Lyman
Abbott was adopted which declares:
"In dealing with the Indians. the OBJ
jects to be accomplished are no longer
questioned They are the abandon
ment of the reservation system; discon-
tinuance Of Indian agencies; such edu-
cation of all Indian children as will fit
them for self-support and government;
access to the courts for the protection
of their rights; amenability to the law

MOFFAT RAILROAD
ALLIANCE DENIED

Denver, Oct. 24.-The Republican
this morning says:
An Associated Press dispatch from
Salt Lake City last night gave a new
version of the Moffat roads plans for
entering that city. A story in the
Telegram was quoted to the effect that
the route over the Wasatch range had
been adopted and that the Moffat road
would follow Daniels canon for twen-
ty-five miles. striking the Heber City
branch of the Denver & Rio Grande
near Charleston and use the Rio
Grarde tracks from there into Salt
Lake. 1t was also stated that the Rio
Grande, which owns the right of way
up Daniels canon. had given the Mof-
fat road 4 contract to build on its right
of way. The story of this alliance be-
tween the Rio Grande and the Denver.
Northwestern & Pacific was denied at
the Offices of the Moffat road in the
Majestic building last night.
THE reported agreement with the
Rio Grande is untrue and the route de-
scribed as having been taken by Us into
Salt Lake has never even been ncgoi-
ated for" said one CT the roads OH
cials. I'VE hear of all such matters
here. OF course. before they are known
elsewhere. and the report In the Salt
Lake paper Is an error. We never ne-f
gotiated with the Rio Grande for suctt
a route and there is no truth in the re-
port whatever. The way we will get
into Salt Lake has not been decided yet
and the one described is only one OF
the routes we could take. 1t Is not the
one we will take"
The Salt Lake report stated that
maps OF the Denver & Rio Crande
right of way had been filed In the local
land Office and the officials OF the Moi
fat road there think the fling OF Rio
Grande maps may have given rise to
the conjecture on the part OF the Salt
Lake paper.

own, buy, sell, travel pay taxes and en-
JOY In good government the benefits
enjoyed by other taxed citizens, and by
these means q speedy incorporation of
all Indians with the rights of citizen
ship into the American commonwealth.
THE best methods to secure these
results are wholly clear, but the exper-
fence of the past points to the follow
ing conclusions:
"The agency should be discontinued
in all cases where the land is ready
for settlement and the Indians, when
necessary, should be temporarily placed
under the care Of bonded superin-
tendent with limited powers, and the
policy of the Indian bureau In this, di
rection Is strongly commended
whenever practicable. the education
of Indian children should be provided
for in the schools in the states or ter
ritories, II necessary for untaxed In
dians at federal expense, or out OF In
dian funds Wherever this is not
practicable. provision should be made
by the federal government in Indian
schools. The Indians should be en-
couraged in Industrial arts, both in the
preservation of their own and in the
acquisition OF ours. The ends always
should be their industrial and moral
development.
THE work Of the government.
whether national, state or territorial.
in providing. for secular education,
does not lessen the responsibility OF the
churches for the religious education OF
the Indian. We regard with interest
and hope the recent action OF the secre-
tary of the interior. opening the way
for religious work of the churches In
connection with government schools.
and urge the churches to cooperate
with each other and with the govern
ment in this work"

COL ORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Progress Of state Roads.

The Denver Republican of October
22nd says:
State Engineer Carpenter is planning
to have the first surveys ON all of the
state roads authorized by the Legisla
ture completed before winter. One
hundred and twenty thousand dollars
is available for the construction OF
state roads and bridges, and the work
Is being carried on as rapidly as the
force in the State Engineers Office can
do it.
There are now under construction
some twenty roads in the state. Some
Of them will cost as high as $4,000 per
mile in the mountain districts where o
great deal of the work has to be done
in solid rock.
A contract was let yesterday for
$4,000 to the Conejos Oil Company for
the sinking OF an artesian well at Man.
assa, Conejos county. Bids had been
advertised for and they were opened
yesterday. The we'll is to be sunk 500
feet. 1t is not expected that the water
will flow from the well but it can be
brought within a few feet of the sur
face. A meeting of the Las Animas
county board for the construction OF
an artesian well was held. but owing to
the TACT that the representative from
the county was not present the bids
were not opened.
The board of construction of the Rio
Grande and Conejos county road met
and bids were asked for portion OF
the road above Jasper. This road has
been repaired below Jasper, but bids
are to be asked for ON the new road
The board of construction of the Cos
tilla county bridge over the Rio Grande
river will ask for bids. The bridge is
to be six miles east of Monte Vista and
is to be 210 feet long and will be built
either in two or three spans.
The surveys of the La Plata county
road has been completed, and the sur
vey on the Dolores county road has
been completed but not accepted, while
the Telluride road will be taken UP
very soon. Other roads in the state are
being made rapidly and all Of them
will be well under way next spring
The surveys will be completed this
year SO that work can begin immedi-
ately after the SHOWS clear away in the
spring.
