RAILROAD SHOPS

Denver. March PA Republican
special from Trinidad last night says:
Trinidad is soon to be made di-
vision point on the Santa Fe system in
both passenger and freight service and
1t is also authoritatively stated that it
is only question of short time un-
til the shops now located at Ration,
New Mexico, will be moved to this
city. The visit of Third Vice Presi-
dent J. M. Kendrick and General Man
ager H. U. Nudge of the Santa Fe to
this city lends color to the latter re-
port and the former is now absolutely
certain.
For some time the company has
been experimenting here with view
to making this city a freight terminus
and the experiment has proven entire
ly satisfactory.
The completion Of the new Harvey
eating house, which will be opened, in
about thirty days, Dis favorable indi-
cation that 1t is likely the passenger
service will be changed about the time
the hotel is completed.
That the Santa Fe has long contem-
plated bringing its shops here is well
known, and 1t was only delayed In do
ing so because the company and city
could not agree on terms.

poses of the bill. Tenants are to pay

he thought the scheme would not In
volve $50O,O0O,0OO. but that $750.0O0.-
900 could safely be advanced on Irish
land. hl41
The advances to tenants are limited
to $4,000 in the congested districts and
$1,000 elsewhere. The bill also pro-
vides that untenanted farms and graz
ing lands shall be sold to neighboring
tenants, and that three commissioners,
to be known as estate commissioners.

be under the control of the lord lieu

Governor Peabody on March 21st
granted an unconditional pardon to
Albert II. Flood. who was serving
one-year sentence in the county jail
for involuntary manslaughter' On Sep
tember 10th last Flood quarreled with
Patrick j. Moore. carpenter, VINO
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 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 Goth. and has been
in gAe 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 sx-
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 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.
Flood and her children also have been

Summary of Decision.

Following is summary of the Su-
preme Court decision in the home rule
amendment case. The court declares:
That trifiing difference between
the journals of the two houses does
not affect the validity of the amend
ment
That the point raised as to alleged
loss of property by the division of Ar
apahoe county is worthless. because
the Legislature has full power to di-
vide counties.
That the claim that the city and
county of Denver will be an indepen-
dent sovereignty within the state is
worthless, because the general laws of
the state will continue to operate in
the city and county just as they al
ways have done.
That the failure OF an actual major
ity of the persons voting at the cleo
tion to vote in favor of the amendment
is not a point to be given any consid-
Grafton.
That the Taylor amendment of four
years ago. authorizing the submission
of amendments to six articles of the
constitution, was valid. and that
amendments to six articles may be
submitted by the Legislature.
That amendment of the constitution
may be made by addition OF new ar
tIcle and is not restricted to mere
change in some article already in the
instrument.
That the home rule amendment as
submitted was only one amendment:
that amendment by implication of 9TH
er articles does not make it more than
one amendment, and that single
amendment may contain several sub
jects. provided they are germane to
the general subject of the amendment
If an amendment is submitted in ac-
cordance with the rules laid down in
the constitution itself and receives a
majority of the votes cast on it, 1t is a
valid amendment and becomes a part
of the constitution. The court holds
that the home rule amendment was
properly submitted and, having re-
ceived a majority from the people, is
now part of the constitution of the
state,
