Judge Clancy could have made no
other decision. In opposition to this
contention A. J.. Shores and 1 A. F.
Kelly, representing the Amalgamated
company, argued that MacGinnis held
less than i per cent of the stock of
the Boston & Montana company, upon
which he received dividends regularly,
while the Analgamated, holding the
remainder of the Boston & Montana
stock, had for more than two. years
been paid not a penny on its invest
nent.
They also commended that there was
no violation Of law. either direct or
implied because of this holding. The
arguments will continue turnout the
day, when briefs will be submitted
and the case taken under advisement.
1t is not regarded as probable that a
decision will be made within two
weeks and possibly not for a month.

Grand Rapids City Father Confesses
and Will Testify Against His
Fellow Boodlers.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 23.-Ex-
Mayor George R. Perry, charged with
receiving a bribe Of 1888 from Liant
K. Salisbury while the Garman-Cam-
eron water deal was in progress,
waived examination in police court to-
day and was bound over for trial. He
furnished $4,000 bail.
Ex-Alderman Adrian H. Schriver
has pleaded guilty to receiving 1925.
He was remanded for sentence until
Dec. IL. Schriver will be witness
for the state in the other prosecu-
tons.
Alderman Ghysels and several 9TH
ers have confessed and are expected
to, become states witnesses.
sSchriver's story differs from Sails
bury's confession, in that he claims to
have received 1926, while Salisbury
says he was given $3.50. 1t develops
that Salisbury was to have received
$125,000 when the deal was put thru
and 100000 in bonds of the water

Appropriations May Wait.

Deputy Auditor Daniels has COM
menced the classification OF appropria-
tions made by the last General Assem-
bly,. This shows that the total is ST.
290, 1851, but from this must be de-
Quoted about 100000 that was paid for
salaries and expenses out of the short
appropriation bill. This comes from
the general fund From the internal
Improvement there was appropriated
Sl22.OOO by thirty-one road and bridge
bills.
Under this classification a number
of the appropriations are undoubtedly
doomed. because they are so near the
bottom that only an unusual receipt of
of money by the state can provide for
them. Even funds to be devoted to
new buildings and improvements Of
state institutions will not be available
for year, because the revenue is not
In sight.
Nearly one-half of the total is in
cluded in the first class. This indicates
that the state institutions will receive
their allotments for maintenance only.
Not until the reports from counties are
received can the auditor apportion the
revenue. Then some of the building
appropriations may be available.
1t will also be impossible to draw on
all of the road and bridge funds at
present. The internal Improvement
fund, from which this money comes.
contains only $85.000 now. The income
will undoubtedly be sufficient, how
ever, to provide for all of them before
the end of the biennial period.

that he will head a movement to pro-
vide employment for the prisoners oil

have served their time.
Commenting on the question the

with the conditions as they are at
present. the men confined in the prison
are in danger of becoming insane. and
are certain to come out in much worse
cond .tion than when ley went in. 10
provide them with employment. the
governor and the board of control will
be compelled to overcome the opposi-
tion of the labor unions. Behind the
governor in this movement are hun
dreds interested in bettering the con-
dition of the prison. These have urged
upon him some action for relief. Many
have called in person. others have sent
letters. All urge the executive to at
tempt some change. From the prison
ers themselves. the governor has re-
ceived scores of letters Many OF
them plead for work for anything that
will occupy their minds. Through the
warden, John Cleghorn, the governor
Las received similar appeals.
Convict labor laws have made con-
ditions worse. By passing the bill re-
quiring a label on all convict-made
goods. the last Legislature clinched
the already strict enforcement of idle
ness. The bill was aimed at products
of penitentiaries of other states, but
it has terrible effect in Colorado.
Proper instruction has never been
given the prisoners in the penitentiary
of Colorado. If the plans are carried
out a staff of competent persons will
be employed, and the unfortunates
who are restrained of their liberty will
be given an opportunity to learn some
trade or perfect themselves in any
thing for which they show an apti-
tude."
