No kansa. Compromises Proposed.

A Denver Republican special from
Topeka. Kansas, says: Kansas Off.
cials were much interested when they
read the statement of Governor Pea
body of Colorado to the effect that he
had suggested no compromise OF the
Kansas-C Colorado water suit. They say
that the compromise talk must now be
traced to some other Colorado source
as they profess to be certain that no
body on the Kansas side suggested a
compromise. A representative Of the
Republican asked Attorney General
Coleman about the matter. He said
that as far as he knew no compromise
had been officially proposed by either
side. and that he had not been ap-
preached by anybody on the subject
He admitted, however, that the air is
full of compromise talk and that pos.
sibly this would be the outcome Of the
litigation.
The Kansas oficials freely admit
they would like to get the water suit
on their hands and while not conced.
ing that the Colorado oflicials have the
better of the argument, they would be
pleased II some satisfactory settle.

these there are two others who believe
1t was not radical enough.
I'VE think that this settles the trou-
BILE in the Idaho Springs district. 1t
was only by the effort of the leaders
of the Citizens Protective League that
no bodily injury was done to the union
men and that they were permitted to
leave the town without personal in
jury. As Is we'll known, the indigna-
ton which has existed here has been
SO intense that a word might have
caused the lynching of some of the
parties implicated. We have fought
against this from the start, and the
union men can thank the Citizens
League that they were permitted to
leave the town unharmed.
'"The union miners in the Cripple
Creek district established the prece-
dent few days ago when four inno-
cent Austrians seeking employment
were led from the town of Victor for
no cause whatever. In the light of that
action the Western Federation Of Min
ers cannot consistently criticise what
was done here last night.
when the Sun and Moon resumed
operations we assured the manage
ment that we would protect them and
their property. The Citizens League
has used every means in its power to
prevent any disaster from occurring in
this district, and we feel confident that
our vigilance has been the means OF
preventing the outrages until this
time. On the morning after the dyna-
miting, the executive committee of this
body met and passed resolution that
we would furnish the funds to replace
the damaged property. In this man
ner we propose to carry into practical
effect our promise to protect all mem
bers of this organization against out
RACES perpetrated by anarchy. We look
upon the destruction OF this property
as our loss, and not the loss Of the
Sun and Moon Company"

Investigating Lease Frauds.

One of the largest cattle companies
in Colorado and several employees in
various large hotels of Denver are
likely to get into serious troup,s as a
result of the investigation .nac Regis
ter Woodruff has already set on foot
says the Denver News.
In going over the old records of the
land office last week evidence was
found of leases granted on $4,000 acres
Of the most valuable grazing land in
the state. The land is situated in e.
Paso and Pueblo counties, and there
is now over $1,000 due in rentals to the
state.
But the most peculiar fact brought
out by q superficial investigation was
that the leases had been made out to
seven bell boys and servants employed
in the Brown Palace, Albany and Met
ropole hotels. There are seven oi
them, and they are men who. beyond a
doubt, never thought of using the land
for their own purposes. What they
wanted Of it, then, was more than Mr.
Woodruff could understand. unless
they had allowed their names to be
used by some wealthy cattle company
Search as to who was really using the
land brought fort such astonishing
ldCtS tudI 0pccihl Aecut oidWbOu war
at once hurried to Pueblo and rigid
investigation will be made OF the
whole affair.
The land was leased to- the seven
employees of the hotels in 1900. While
the employees gave bond as required
by law, no rentals have been paid
since the first year. The law also re
quires that when an original lessee
wishes to assign his lease. notice must
first be given to the state, and their
consent secured. No such notice has
been given in connection with single
one of the seven leases being investi
gated, and for all Official notice the
Land Board has, the $4,000 acres is
still in the hands of the original ap
plicants.

STATEMENT OF IDAHO SPRINGS
CITIZENS PROTECTIVE LEAGUE

Denver, Aug. 1.-The executive COM
mittee of the Idaho Springs Citizens
Protective League have made the fol-
lowing authorized statement:
"The action of the citizens of Idaho
Springs last Thursday night speaks for
itself. The members Of the union were
given to understand from the first that
70 long as they were agitators Of So
ctalistic principles we would hold them
responsible should any damage be
done to any property in the district.
When men argue in public and private
that capital hasn't right to a reason
able profit on the labor they employ,
and tell their followers that they have
been robbed Of every dollar that their
employers make. 1t is little wonder
that the ignorant ones are inspired to
such dastardly deeds as that commit
ted at the Sun and Moon last Wednes-
day night. We have more sympathy
for the Italians touching the fuse that
destroyed the transformer house and
resulted in the death Of one of them,
than we have for the agitators who in
spired them to do 1t. The Italians
come to this country with little under
standing Of the full meaning of repub-
aican liberty, and when Americans tell
them that their employers are robbers
and tyrants it is little wonder that it
makes anarchists Of them. The people
of Idaho Springs had reached the limit
of endurance. This has never been a
union stronghold, and our people be-
lieve that they would rather give up
their homes and business than submit
to policies of tyranny which have
threatened our public and private in
stitutions and the lives of our citizens
for the past six months. The action
of last night shows that the people will
not submit to the dictation Of few
imported union agitators. There may
be some people who believe that the
action was too radical. but for each Of

RIOT AT BOSTON

Boston. Aug. IAN attempt by
half dozen colored persons opposed

at a meeting which he was addressing
Thursday night at the Zion Church,
almost resulted In a riot, and twenty.
five policemen were called to quell the

Several arrests were made. one po-

hat pin. while a man, said to be one OF
those opposed to Washington. received
several razor cuts and is now In the
hospital. After the arrests Mr.. Wash
ington was allowed to proceed and
spoke for nearly two hours.
Both factions at the close OF the
meeting issued statements. Mr. Wash
ington said in his statement that the
colored people OF Boston should not
be held responsible for few riotous
individuals, and William Munroe Trot-
ter, one Of those who was arrested,
stated that the cause of the rioting
was the absurd ruling Of thee hartman.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
stratton Inheritance Tax.

Attorney General N. G. Miller is noa
satisfied with the assessment OF che
Stratton estate at $4,000, 900 and mas re-
quested Judge Orr of the County Court
of Ell Paso county to appoint an aps
praiser to value the property in behalf
of the state He believes that it IL
worth at least 100000, whereas it is
only appraised at $4,000 900.
The difference in the attorney gen,
erals figures and the value now quoted
means if the inheritance tax is sus;
tanned at least $1sOOOO to the state.
Under the last law the inheritance
tax is graduated and is paid as follows:
Where children or husband and wife
are beneficiaries, So per hundred dol
lars; uncles. aunts, nephews, nieces'
So on each one hundred dollars; other
objects, 81 to Sc per one hundred dol,
lars. The Stratton estate comes under
the latter class at Sc for each 800.
and under the present appraisement
the state should receive $240,OOO in.
heritance tax, while if it comes to the
attorney generals standard the state
will receive $420,000
The attorney general believes that
the last inheritance tax law will be
declared valid as it is modelled on
those of other states where it has been
declared so. The inheritance tax law
and the planning of measures for plac-
ing it in operation is occupying most OF
the attorney generals time.
After hearing arguments in the case
of the people Of the state of Colorado
upon the relation and complaint of
Emma M. Herey versus James s. -Ea-
gleton, Judge John /. Mullins in the
District Court at Denver handed down
a decision for the plaintiff in division
two of the District Court, August 1st,
which installs Miss Herey firmly in
her Office as county superintendent of
schools in the city and county of Den
yer until her successor is duly quail
fed, and enjoins the defendant, ap-
pointed by the board of school district
No. 1, from performing any duties OF
the Office of deputy superintendent.
On the advice of Attorney General
N. c. Miller, State Auditor Holmberg
has decided to pay the amounts speci-
fed in the election contests appropria-
ton. Mr.. Holmberg was in doubt as
to the manner in which the money
should be paid, but he has finally de-
cided that the signatures of the chair
men Of the legislative committees on
finance and elections will be sufficient
The auditor will adhere to the advice
of the attorney general to pay the sal
aries as they are specified in the stat
utes and not according to the appro-
priation bill, when they appear in the
statutes. In following out this advice
the auditor will have to pay the salary
of 5000 for a special game warden,
which was stricken out of the appro-
priation bill, as the statutes provide
for ten chief game wardens on regular
salaries and at the present time he has
only six chief wardens.
