COMPANY HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR DAMAGE TO STRIKEBREAKER

Denver. April 15.-Employers who
fail to explain to men taking the
places of others who may be out on a
strike the annoyance or violence to
which they may be subject from those
whom they supercede, are liable for
damages in case injury is done. This
is the opinion of the Court of Appeals
IN reversing a decision of the Arapahoe
District Court
William Holshauser minor
brought suit against the Denver Gas
and Electric Company through his
guardian. Anna A. Glaser. According
to the complaint Holshauser was en-
ployed by the company during the
strike at that plant in the summer of
1899. He went to work June 2lst and
on July 9th was shot by persons he
did not know. two charges of shot
striking him from weapons fired
through apertures in fence.
When the suit was instituted the
plaintiff asserted that he weat to work
in the capacity of stoker without any
knowledge of strike or the threats
that had been made by the men who
had declared a boycott. The case was
submitted to the lower court on plead
ings. Lawyers for the defense de-
The Grit-advocate., 1903-04-17

murred TO the complaint and the court
sustained the demurrer, entering judg-
ment in favor of the company.
In giving the opinion of the court.
Justice Thomson cites numerous prece-
dents for the position taken by the
court. Several cases in other states are
cited. The ruling is new in the courts
of Colorado, however. Comparison Is
made with another very similar case
by the justice in drawing his opinion
THE controlling feature of both
cases is that the employer knowingly ex-
posed him to personal danger, and con-
cealed the danger from him." says Jus
tice Thomson in the opinion. 1T is in
timated that during the intervening
time the plaintiff ought to have discOv-
cred that a strike was in existence and
that the defendants old employees were
in no tranquil frame OF mind.
''How he might have made the dis
cOvery unless he had seen or heard
something to suggest inquiry. we are
not told. 1t is alleged that the plain
tiff did not know there was a strike or
that he was in any danger, until he
was attacked. This explicit statement
of fact is not to be met by mere argu-
ment"

FOILS PLANS OF
CHINESE REBELS

Washington. April l5.-Quick action
and common sense treatment of crit
ical situation by an American naval
officer in China recently saved the for
eign residents in the province of
Quong Tung. along the east bank OF
the Canton river from falling victims
to plot which. while primarily
against the Manchurian dynasty, inev-
itaby would have eliminated in an
attack on the foreign population.
While this attack was avcrted by the
precautionary measures taken by Com
mander +. j. Drake, commanding the
United States steamer Monterey, with
the assistance of the English gunboats
Sandpiper and Britomart, the French
gunboat Avalanche and the German
tug Shameen, the coalition known to
have fermented the trouble extends to
several provinces and official advices
received at both the state and navy
departments show that reactionary
measures on scale far larger than is
admitted either by foreign representa-
tives or the Chinese government have
been planned by the rebels.
nearing llldI Il l'' VI l'b'47' iNi
by Hung Clun Fuk, a native Of Wa
chow. had planned an attack on the
viceroy and Chinese officials of Canton
turing the celebration of the Chinese
new year. during the night of January
2S and 90. Commander Drake prepared
to defend the foreign residents. An
armed force of 5000 men had entered
Canton surreptitiously several days be
fore he learned the news and were
hiding with sympathizers. AS most OF
the foreigners and officials representa-
tives of the various nations resided in
Shamen. Commander Drake first com
pleted his plans of defense. and then,
to allay the excitement which pre-
vailed, he officially informed the CON
sulates and Chinese officials of his
preparations. and advised the com
manders of the English, German and
French gunboa,s of the line OF action
10 be pursued in case Shamen island
WAS attacked.

provided among other things that the
boards ofShe city Of Denver should be-
come respectively the boards of the
city and county of Denver, to hold the
same as therein described until their
successors are duly elected and qualified
as therein provided for. We are ad-
vised that the present Fire and Police
Board was created and its members
designated by article Xxx of the consti-
tuition OF the state, and that your ex-
cellency is therefore without power to
remove and without jurisdiction in the

I'VE therefore challenge your excel

authority either to cite US to appear
before you to Near charges against us.
or to make any order of removal or

on us by the constitution and the
laws"
With the governor. as his legal ad-
wiser, sat Henry j. Hersey, assistant
attorney general. Former Judge
George w. Allen and Col. James II.
Brown appeared as advocates Of the
governors power to remove.
Governor Peabody decided that he
did have jurisdiction and found the
members of tie board guilty of mai
Ieasance and misteasance in office, neg
lect Of duty and all the other charges
made.
The case will now go to the courts
and there is no chance for another
such warlike demonstration as occurred
during the Waite regime.

side were last evening named by Gov
ernor Peabody to succeed Frank Ad-
ans. Charles Wilson and Conrad j.
Burpee as members of the Denver Fire
and Police Board Almost Immediate
ly the new appointees were served
with an injunction signed by Hon
John !. Mullins, judge of the District
Court, forbidding them from attempt
ing to assert in any way their right to
the Offices to which they We're named,
or interfering with the old board or
any of them. The new appontees are
also forbidden from applying to any

The members of the board whom it

BILL HELD LEGAL

Denver, April 15.-The appropria-
yesterday by the attorney general
with an opinion that no reason exists
for not signing the measure.
In his opinion. the attorney general
refers to the actions taken on the
measure prior to the last night of the
session. He explains that the bill was
delayed in this committee and Gays:
III there was any neglect or delay up
on its consideration the responsibility
rests with the Senate. do not know
that it comes within my province to
refer to this matter, except that asser-
lions are frequently" made to the con-
,rarv"
The opinion then goes on to state
that there Is no irregulariry in the Sen
ate journal down TO the point where
the president announced that he was
about to sign the bill Following this
the journal shows that the protests
were filed. No action is shown by the
journal on these protests, and the at
torney general holds that this makes
them of no value at all
''To hold that such protests are OF
any consequence. says the opinion,
would be to hold that If a written
protest. whether true or not, is made
it overrides the solemn record of the
Senate. and that the written declara
ton OF the senator becomes more i'm
portant and binding than the official
record of the Senate This certainly
cannot be true
Another portion of the opinion reads:
'lf, because someone makes written
protest, asserting things to be true
which the record does not disclose,
then the validity of our laws could be
made 10 depend at any time upon ex-
traneous testimony. and the findings OF
courts and whims of iuries. based upon
such testimony years after the bill is
passed.
The concluding paragraph contains
references to many authorities and
says: 1T is a general ii not universe
rule that courts, in determining the va
ldity or invalidity of a legislative act.
