JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL
EXPLAINS NEW MILITIA LAW

Washington. June S.-Judge Advo-
cate General Davis has sent to the sec
retary of war an opinion relative to
various disputed matters of construc-
tion of the new militia law. One point
raised was whether section IA of the
militia act, relating to expenditure of
money for the militia, was not in con-
flict with the federal constitution, the
contention being that 1t would take the
militia from the control of the states.
General Davis points out that the new
militia law does not differ materially
from the present law. and that all that
will be necessary is change in the
forms for accounting to be made to
the Treasury Department.
A more important point raised con-
Germs section Is, which provides for
the participation Of the militia of the
several states in maneuvers and field
instructions Of the regular army, but
with a further proviso that the COM
mand Of military post or camp and
of the officers and troops of the United
States stationed where such maneuvers
occur shall remain with the regular
command OF the post. without regard
to the rank of the commanding or
other officers of the militia tenn ora

tions Of the national guard as particle

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND

Coal by Trolley Cars.

The Leyden Coal Company has be-
gun operations this week as an active
rival Of other companies doing business
in the Denver market. The company
is owned by the same interests which
control the Denver Tramway and the
Denver & Northwestern Railroad Com
pany. and has the advantage Of their
electric lines in reaching local markets
with its product.
A second shaft has been driven at
the Leyden mine and the machinery
has been put in operation. The COM
pany is prepared to deliver a large
daily output. Big coal yards have been
established opposite Elitch's Gardens
on the land adjoining the old West
End power house. Several additional
side tracks have been put in and the IA
cilities are now available for any
amount of traffic.
Thirty Of the fifteen-ton Ingoldsby
dump cars. delivered some time ago to
the Tramway and Denver & North

motors and trolleys. and arc now In
use hauling coal from the Leyden mine
to the West End yards. Coal is also
hauled direct to the various Tramway
power houses over the electric lines.
saving much expense for carriage.
The system of hauling the coal to
the city, as now adopted in supplying
the Tramway power houses, Is this:
An lngoldsby patent dump car. fitted
with four powerful motors. is used as
the motor car for a train of six Of these
dump cars and proves powerful enough
to pull the load easily over the grades
from Leyden to the city. This train
is run up on the elevated track at the
power house and the automatic dump
ing apparatus quickly deposits the coal
in the bins below. II the Tramway
company is permitted to run these
trains over its city tracks, 1t is expect-
ed that the same system will be used
to supply various retail coal yards and
branch depots may be established In
various parts Of the city. from which
neighborhoods can be supplied With

discipline and efficiency. and that In
such participation they act under the
orders of their respective governors.
While so engaged the several organiza-
tions OF the national guard. he says. re-
main under the control of their several
commanders-in-chie and not having
been called forth" in the manner pre-
scribed in the constitution. do not pass

President as commander-in-chief OF the

He holds that the enlisted men of the
national guard are not entitled to In
creased pay In virtue of previous ser
vice in the militia, but says that ofti-
GERS who have served five years in the
militia are entitled under the law to
the same ten per cent. increase in pay
that is provided for officers of the
army.
The judge advocate general says that
in applying section 18. the drills and en-
campments which took place in any
state or territory during the year ended
December 81. 1902. should be consid-
cred in determining the right Of the
state or territory to participate in the
benefit conferred by previous and pres
ent laws.

IMMENSE LOSS INFLICTED BY
SOUTH CAROLINA CLOUDBURST

Columbia. s. c.. June Though
the great flood of water is passing on
to the ocean laden with debris of ev-
cry description and the swollen
streams are subsiding in the Piedmont
region. the losses of life and property
are increasing and conservative es-
innate tonight places the property loss
at not less than $3.5OOOOO The most
conservative estimate Of the dead is
eighty. At Clifton alone 100 mill op-
eratives are missing from the village.
and all are believed to have been lost.
To-day's development in the devas-
tated mill settlements at Pacolet and
Clifton. on the Pacolet river in South
Carolina, magnify the horrors of the
situation there.
The town of Union. South Carolina,
is to-day totally isolated.
At Converse thirteen dead are re-
ported and forty-one at Clifton No. 2
mill. At Clifton No. 2 twenty-six
homes are destroyed. thirteen at Cliff
ton No. and twenty at Clifton No. 3.
The loss at Clifton's three mills will
approximate $2.000.0OO. At Pacolet the
loss is near $1.OOO,0OO. The greatest
want among the survivors is at Clifton,
where 500 are destitute.

The flood was due to mighty cloud
burst along the headwaters Of the

1t reached Pacolet was sixty feet high.
The mills were located along the
banks Of the stream in deep valley

Denver June 4th from an inspection of
the water supply of the state gener-

to the headwaters of the Platte. The
trip occupied six days. and during this
time Mr.. Mills walked 120 miles over
snow-covered mountain ranges and
passes. Several times he was caught in
severe snow storms, and, as he was
travelling in light order. the nights that
he was forced to stay in the mountains
were spent by a camp fire, but with
out covering.

Leadville. where he went by train. and
walked from that place across the Mos

snow above timber line for some dis
tance.
He walked through Hoosier and Bo-
reas passes and from Jefferson post
Office he walked to timber line to view
the headwaters of the Michigan. He
walked on top of the range two miles
each way. Afterwards he visited the

encountered a severe snowstorm at an
altitude of 1900 feet. During the trip
he saw banGs of elk and deer and two

COMMITS SUICIDE

Denver, June IA Republican spe-
cial from Colorado Springs last night
says:
Lying dead in a pool OF its own
blood, shot through the head and the
revolver few inches from its right
hand. the body Of Alvaro Hemenway
was found at 2:40 O'Clock this after
noon by searching party in some
brush behind group Of cottonwood
trees in the Fountain Creek flats. The
place is called the Portland pasture,
and the location of the body was about
$50 yards southwest of the Midland
bridge over Fountain creek and a quar-
ter Of mile east of the Portland mill.
William Myers one of the searching
party employed by o. f. Hemenway,
son Of the deceased, discovered the
body.
No inquest will be held. as the case
is clearly one Of suicide. The bullet, a
38-calibre, had entered the head one
inch above the tip of the right ear, and
had left the skull the same distance
above the left ear, but an inch farther
front
Alvaro Hemenway had been missing
since Wednesday morning, and his
perturbance over business affairs, to-
gether with the fact that the revolver
was missing from its accustomed place
in the safe at the Hemenway grocery
store, led to the theory of suicide on
the part of Orin e. Hemenway. the son.
The latter employed searching par
ties since Thursday. and the canons
and other neighboring points were be-
ing secured when the discovery was
made.
The deceased was one of the Oldest
and most respected citizens of Colo
