STATES COURT DECIDES
IN FAVOR OF RUSH AMENDMENT

The court ruled that there is no
vested right on the part of taxpayer
that he should receive equal benefits,
and that in making such an adjustment
of the property as provided in the Rush
bill, the legislature does not take The
property of any taxpayer or citizens
without due process of law.
Regarding the grant OF the right to
frame a charter. the court says that 1t
is not to be supposed that the people or
Colorado intended to grant power to
violate any provision of the constttu-
ton OF the United States. and that these
broad grants OF authority should be
construed as impliedly restricted by
the paramount power. that 1t Is SIM
ply intended to be grant to act In au-
thority with the constitution OF the
United States.
Questions Of violation OF the constitu-
ton by powers conferred by such
charter should be brought into court
after the charter Is framed which does
In fact violate the constitution.
Judge Marshall insisted that the
amendment did not contemplate char
ter unrepublican In form. but that II
contemplated a charter resting on the
will of the people. and subject to that
will. For these reasons the court de-
MED the motion and. in effect. sus-
tanned the constitutionality OF the Dill

tions in the force of the help employed

Governor Peabody on March 21st
granted an unconditional pardon to
Albert H. Flood, who was serving a
one-year sentence in the county jail
for involuntary manslaughter. On Sep
tember 10th last Flood quarreled with
Patrick ]. Moore, carpenter, who
then resided at No. 1867 Knox court.
Moore entered Floods butcher shop at
No 1884 West Colfax avenue. to pro-
test because 1t was alleged the butcher
had sold him SO cents worth of taint-
ed meat A fight between the men en-
sued and Moore received a knife
wound from which he died. The trial
of Flood which quickly followed in the
West Side court. attracted considerable
attention on account OF the vigorous
fight which the defense presented and
the strenuous efforts of the labor un-
ion friends of the dead man to have
the defendant convicted of murder and
sentenced for a long term. Flood was
convicted October 26th. and has been
in the county jail since. although
charges were frequently made that he
was allowed more liberties than pris-
oners usually enjoy. including frequent
visits to his wife and children. The
grounds on which the governor ex-
tended executive clemency was that
the widow of the murdered man has
five small children. and has been de-
pendent on charity for support; That
the friends Of Flood have recently con-
tributed to a fund of $1,000 for her
maintenance and which fund has been
presented to her; that Mrs. Moore pc
titioned for clemency for Flood. join
ing Mrs. Flood in this plea: that Mrs.
blood and her children also have been
helpless since the incarceration OF the
husband and father.

But their will was not law yesterday. The south wind blew all the day and it raised the pillows on Lynn canal and piled tempestuous waves out on the beach. No boat could go Co Dyea, and at late hour last night the wind was still blowing so the party had to remain in camp one more night.
