Summary Of Decision.

Following is a summary of the Su-
preme Court decision in the home rule
amendment case. The court declares:
That a tritiing 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 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
That amendment of the constitution
may be made by addition of a new ar
tlcle 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.
II 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, it 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.

State Institutions Report.

The first evening session of the
House was held March 18th and the
appropriation bills were the special
order, Before going into committee of
the whole the report of the committee
on state institutions was received.
This report in part was as follows:
In nearly every instance the state
institutions are now at the limit of
their capacity and steps should be
taken at this time to provide, as far
as possible, for increasing demands in
the future. 1t is the opinion Of your
committee that the state is maintain
ing one too many penal institutions,
and that a consolidation in this re-
spect would be beneficial and a meas
ure of economy.
The inmates of the reformatory
and other institutions of that class are
both under and over the age limit pre-
scribed. This is serious mistake
and should be stopped and the atten-
ton of judges throughout the state is
asked to the age requirements Of these
different institutions
In regard to the employment Of con-
yict labor the report says:
1T has been suggested that the state
coal lands be worked and the state in
stitutions supplied therefrom. This
would undoubtedly prove beneficial to
the penitentiary and great saving
generally to the state. but it does not
dispose of the question in its entirety.
Your committee recommends
system of auditing the books Of all
state institutions at least once every
three months, and the governor should
be empowered to employ competent
accountant to perform this duty.
Your committee strongly depre-
Gates the misuse of the mileage allow
ance to some members of the boards
of control to and from state institu-
tions, and to prevent misuse in the
future recommend that all such mile
age allowance be discontinued"
In speaking of the various state in
stitutions, the State Home for Depend
ent and Neglected Children in Denver
is given first place as the most needy.
The committee recommends that
$4,000 be appropriated for improve
ments at the State School Of Mines at
Golden. and that $4,000 be granted
the University OF Colorado for build
ings and Management. The granting
OF an additional mill tax for this insti-
tuition Is also favored.
The Agricultural College at Fort
Collins is said to be in good condition
and an appropriation Of SIS. 900 for ad
ditional buildings is recommended
The committee says that the state re-
formatory at Buena Vista IL crowded
to its capacity. and contains . major
ity Of buildings that are primitive In
character and unsuited to their use.
New buildings and stone stockades are
necessary.

COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AND DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL

The general appropriation bills, the
short and long ones. have been COM
pared by several of the members inter-
ested in figures, and the present bills
are found to appropriate $ll3,oS3.53
less than those of two years ago. The
short appropriation bill of the Thir-
teenth General Assembly disposed OF
$3i2. 2.459S4 including the $25l 500 OF
contingent fund that has disappeared.
and the long appropriation bill dis
posed of s5sS ,Sl7.49 The short appro-
priation bill of the Fourteenth General
Assembly authorized the distribution
of $17l, 80. and the long appropria-
ton measure will disburse s646,2o0.
This amount. however. may be in
creased before the bill is passed.

REPORT ON THE
NEW MILITIA LAW

Washington March 24-Secretary
Root has ordered to be made public the
report which the war college board. at
his request, has prepared. explaining
and commenting upon the various pro-
visions Of the new militia law, their
proper Interpretation and the best
means for putting them into operation.
The secretary has not approved the
boards report, but he desires that 1t
shall be given wide consideration, SO
| that the officers of the militia of the
various states may have the opportu-
| nifty of discussing with the department
the advisability OF its adoption.
Major Cen s. B. NJ Young. as presi-
dent of the board, submits the report
which says that under the law the
organized militia are given until Jan.
t21, 1908, to adopt the organization,
amendment and discipline" of the reg
ular and volunteer armies" and within
that time the organized militia is ex-
pected to conform as rapidly as pos
sidle to the standard, SO that on that
date the standard must be realized.
Although five years are allowed the
militia to attain to the prescribed
standard, Gen. Young In the report
states that the law does not contem-
plate that the period shall elapse be-
fore state, territery or the District
of Columbia shall take the reasonable
steps toward the attainment Of the
standard.
That absolute uniformity with the
regular army as a standard may be
obtained. the board believes that the
president should fix Immediately the
minimum enlisted strength Of the
various organizations Of the militia, to
correspond In each case with that fixed
for the regular army. 1t therefore rec
ommends the following minimum or
ganizations:
Infantry 65. field artillery 120. coast
artillery 120. engineers 100.

Chairman Hayt was the first to ar
rive yesterday morning. After a brief
period Father Carrigan and .'Parson'
for order about IL O'Clock and the first
announcement was regarding the loss
of one member of the board. This wac
explained by the chairman.
Since our last meeting DR.. Slocum
has visited the. city" said Mr.. Hayt.
He came up yesterday and told ME
last night that he would be busy three
or four weeks. He had previously said
he might serve, thinking the sessions
would continue only four days. 1t
seems that they will last longer. and
DIR. Slocum cannot give up his work
long enough to serve on the commits
sion with satisfaction to himself.
THE governor has been informed
that DIR. Slocum cannot serve. 1t is
likely that successor will be named
to-day. Mr.. Frewen is interested in
bill that is up this morning, and can
not be here for some time. He will
be here as soon as possible, however.
We will proceed if there is no objec-
ton
Governor Peabody will not name
member of the commission to succeed
DR.. Slocum. If the representatives of
the two sides desire a fifth man and
SO inform the commission the four
present members will choose their as
sociate. This was the announcement
made by the governor yesterday after
noon.

ing statement tonight: Thereg3s neN Y

of such importance as this. where the
panel is not looked into to ascertain

The Stratton property is in the hands
of the executors. Mr.. Stratton had
large interests, notably the street car
system, and he was not only known by

many persons in Ell Paso county. 1t is

ton of an attorney to us and the rea-
son for the affidavit is that he was un-
faithful and broke the contract.
.'The estate has bought him with
young Stratton's money. and his work

ever heard Of. 1t seems to me that
the procedure is an attempt to obtain
settlement or compromise before
trial"

WILL NOT TOUCH
MILL CONTRACTS

Denver, March PA Republican
special from Cripple Creek last night
says:
]. Hannah, representing the American
Smelling and Refining Company. to-
day served notice in reply to requests
for treatment Of ore. upon the mines
that have contracts with the United
States Reduction and Refining Com
pany, that the smelling company will
refuse to handle their proanet This
closes the last available market for the
ore that has been diverted by the
strike from the boycotted mills, as the
order is positive that the smelter COM
pany will not interfere with the ore
under contract to the mills. The Port
land and Economic mills are gorged
with ore from their own mines. and
the capacity of the DOrcas at Florence.
Is as a drop in the bucket compared
with the supply of ore.
This order was anticipated a week
ago by Manager French of the Rio
Grande sampler. which receives ore for
the American Smelling and Refining
company. He then notified the mines
that had diverted their ore from the
United States company's mills that
they would better make other arrange
ments. as he expected to receive In
structions to refuse to handle their
product.
The action of the smelling interests.

sideration Of the Mine Ovners' Asso-
citation last Saturday night, has estab-
