Governor and Efaht-Hour Law.

In an interview yesterday. says the
Denver Republican, Governor Peabody
made the sensational statement that
one reason for his not issuing call
tor the consideration of an eight-hour
law was the fact that number of
members OF the Legislature from both
houses, who had voted and supported
the resolutions asking for an eight
hclr law, called on him in his office,
and told him, that although they had
supported the resolution, they would
not vote for an eight-hour law under
any circumstances.
Representative members Of both
houses called on me-" said the gov
ernor, "and without making any pre-
tense at secrecy, said in the words of
the spokesman: we supported the
resolutions calling for an eight-hour
law, and most of us signed the peti-
tion supporting the Whinnery bill, but
we will not vote for an eight-hour law
under any circumstances, and If you
call an extra session for the purpose,
we will filibuster all summer
Governor Peabody said that he had
no intention OF calling an extra session
for the purpose. as he was convinced
from the actions of the Legislature
uurlng tne regular session tnat tne ma
jority of them would not support an
eight-hour law.
They talked about their belief in
the bill and announced in Pharasaical
tones that they wanted such bill in
troduced and that they would vote for
it, but close observer could have no.
ticed that when they made these
statements, they either closed one eye
or crossed their fingers" said the gov.
ernor.
They have been attempting to lay
the blame on my shoulders, but will
not bear it. l have made public this
much Of the inner side OF the matter.
and If necessary can furnish the
names of those who visited me.
THE eight-hour bill is a matter of
history so far as am concerned. The
present Legislature would never pass
bill of the kind, because there are
too many different opinions regarding
it. The Senate will not support the
House bill and vice versa. Then there
are also two factions, one of which
wants violation of the law made a
misdemeanor and the other felony"

STATEMENT OF IDAHO SPRINGS
CITIZENS PROTECTIVE LEAGUE.

|: Denver, Aug. 1.-The executive COM
mittee OF the Idaho, Springs Citizens
Protective League have made the fol.
lowing authorized statement:
THE action of the citizens OF Idaho
Springs last Thursday night speaks for
itself. The members of the union were
given to Understand from the first that
so long as they were agitators of So
cialistic principles We would hold them
responsible should any damage be
done to any property in the district.
When men argue in public and private
that capital hasn't a right to a reason
able profit on the labor they employ,
and tell their followers that they have
been robbed of every dollar that their
employers make, it is little wonder
that the ignorant ones are inspired to
such dastardly deeds as that commit
ted at the Sun and Moon last Wednes-
day night. We have more sympathy
for the Italians touching the fuse that
destroyed the transformer house and
resulted In the death of one of them,
than We have for the agitators who in
spired them to do it. The Italians
come to this country with little under
standing of the full meaning of repub
lican liberty, and when Americans tell
them that their employers are robbers
and tyrants it is little wonder that it
makes anarchists of them. The people
of Idaho Springs had reached the limit
of endurance. This has never been a
union stronghold, and our people be-
lieve that they would rather give up
their homes and business than submit
to policies Of tyranny which have
threatened our public and private in
stitutions and the lives of our citizens
for the past six months. The action
of last night shows that the people will
not submit to the dictatiop of a few
imported union agitaturs. There may
be some people Who believe that the
action was too radical, but for each of
The Holly chieftain., 1903-08-07

these there are two Others who believe
it was rot radical enough.
I'VE think that this settles the tror-'
BILE in the Idaho Springs district. II
was only by the effort OF the leaders
of the Citizens Protective League that
no bodily injury was done TO the union
men and that they were permitted TO
leave the town without personal In
jury. AS is well known. the indigna-
tion which has existed here has been
SO intense that. a word might have
caused the lynching OF some of the
parties implicated. We have fought
against this from the start, and the
union men can thank the Citizens
League that they were permitted 10
leave the town unharmed.
THE union miners in the Cripple
Creek district established the prece.
dent few days ago when four inno-
cent Austrians seeking employment
were led from the town of Victor for
no cause whatever In the light of that
action the Western Federation of Min
ers cannot consistently critfcise whaN
was done here last night.
When the Sun and Moon resumed
operations we assured the manage
ment that we would protect them and
their property. The Citizens League
has used every means in its power TO
prevent any disaster from occurring in
this district, and we feel confident that
our vigilance has been the means of
preventing the outrages until this
time. On the morning after the dyna-
miting, the executive committee of this
body met and passed resolution that
we would furnish the funds to replace
the damaged property In this man
ner we propose to carry into practical
effect our promise to protect all mem
bers of this organization against out
RACES perpetrated by anarchy. We look
upon the destruction of this property
as our loss, and not the loss of the
Sun and Moon Company"

TIMERS APPEAL TO
GOVERNOR PEABODY

Denver, Aug. 1.-The miners ex-
PEELED from Idaho Springs want to re-
turn to that town and have appealed
to Governor Peabody for protection
A committee Of Thomas Walsh, How
ard Tfess'der. Albert d. .Olcott, George j.
Decker and Levi T. Bender waited on
Governor Peabody yesterday afternoon
and presented a petition, requesting
protection in visiting their homes and
families.
Governor Peabody was making prep
aration to visit Canon City, and
through his private secretary, accord
ing to the News report, notified the
committee that he would present the
petition to Attorney General Miller and
be guided by his advice. Governor
Peabody promised to give the COM
mittee definite answer at noon Mon
day. Until that time the exiles will
remain in Denver.
The petition as submitted to Gov
ernor Peabody, follows:
Denver, Colo. July 81. 1903.
TO His Excellency. the Governor of
the State of Colorado:
I'VE. the undersigned, having been
duly appointed by the citizens and res
idents of Idaho Springs who have been
unlawfully driven from our homes, pc
tition your excellency to afford us the
protection that is guaranteed to every
citizen under the constitution of the
state.
I'VE have been arrested. imprisoned
and banished from our homes without
warrant or due process of law.
AN organization known as the
Citizens Protective League aided and
abetted by the sheriff and his deputies,
and by the city authorities of Idaho
Springs. forcibly took us from our
homes and from our places of employ
ment in the mines, and after subjecting
us to the indignity of arrest and i'm
prisonment, commanded us to leave,
never to return.
I'VE have committed no violations
Of law, and we ask, as citizens of this
state, that you shall tender us such
protection as will return us to our
homes, and, furthermore, that we
shall be guaranteed no further moles-
tatlon. from lawless association that
has become '.w unto itself.

COLORED MEMS
RIOT AT BOSTON

Boston, Aug. IAN attempt by
half a dozen colored persons opposed
to Booker T. Washington, president of
Tuskegee Institute. to ask questions
at a meeting which he was addressing
Thursday night at the Zion Church,
almost resulted in riot. and twenty
five policemen were called to Quell the
disturbance.
Several arrests were made, one po-
liceman received deep stab from
hat pin, while man, said to be one of
those opposed to Washington, received
hospital. After the arrests Mr.. Wash
ington was allowed to proceed and
spoke for nearly two hours.
Both factions at the close of the
meeting issued statements. Mr.. Wash
ington said in his statement that the
colored people of Boston should not
be held responsible for few riotous
individuals, and William Munroe Trot-
ter, one of those who was arrested,
stated that the cause of the rioting
was the absurd ruling Of thee hartman,
Lewis, in ordering the arrest and ejec-
tion of any person who hissed or mar
ifested any objection to the speaker.
1t is said that the disturbance was
prearranged and after the meeting Mr..
Trotter and his friends admitted that
they went there with the idea of ask
ing Washington number of questions
and to resent any attack that might
be made on the recent New England
representatives to the Af!o-American
council at Louisville.
The meeting was held under the aus.
pices of the Colored Business Mems
Association of this city, and William
H. Lewis, one of the United States as
slstant district attorneys, presided.

COL LORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
stratton Inheritance Tag.

Attorney General n. C. Miller is not
satisfied with the assessment of the
Stratton estate at 81 100000 and has re-
quested Judge Orr of the County Court
of FL Paso county to appoint an ap-
praiser to value the property in behalf
of the state. He believes that it is
worth at least $7000,O00 whereas it is
only appraised at $4,000, 900.
The difference in the attorney gen.
erals figures and the value now quoted
means if the Inheritance tax is sus-
tanned at least s1S0,000 to the state.
Under the last law the inheritance
tax is graduated and is paid as follows:
Where children or husband and wife
are beneficiaries, 81 per hundred dol
lars; uncles. aunts, nephews, nieces,
SO on each one hundred dollars; other
objects, $4 to Sc per one hundred dol
lars. The Stratton estate comes under
the latter class at Sc for each 800.
and under the present appraisement
the state should receive S2400O0 in
heritance tax, while if it comes to the
attorney generals standard the state
will receive $420, 900.
The attorney general believes that
the last inheritance tax law will be
declared valid, as it is modelled on
those of other states where it has been
declared SO. The inheritance tax law
and the planning of measures for plac-
ing it in operation is occupying most Of
the attorney generals time.
After hearing arguments in the case
of the people of the state of Colorado
upon the relation and complaint of
Emma M. Herey versus James S. Ea-
gleton, Judge John l. Mullins in the
District Court at Denver handed down
a decision for the plaintiff in division
two of the District Court, August 1st,
which installs Miss Herey firmly in
her office as county superintendent OF
schools in the city and county OF Dem
yer until her successor is duly quail
fed, and enjoins the defendant, ap-
pointed by the board of school district
No. l, from performing any duties of
the office of deputy superintendent.
On the advice of Attorney General
N. c. Miller, State Auditor Holmberg
has decided to pay the amounts speci-
fed in the election contests appropria-
tion. Mr.. Holmberg was in doubt as
to the manner in which the money
should be paid, but he has finally de-
,cided that the signatures of the chair
men of the legislative committees on
finance and elections will be sufficient.
The auditor will adhere to the advice
of the attorney general to pay the sal
aries as they are specified in the stat
utes and not according to the appro-
priation bill, when they appear in the
statutes. In following out this advice
the auditor will have to pay the salary
of 5000 for special game warden,
which was stricken out of the appro-
priation bill, as the statutes provide
for ten chief game wardens on regular
salaries and at the present time he has
only six chief wardens.

LOST BAG OF MONEY.

HILO, July 24.-Akamoto and Tanaka
two cane planters from Waiakea were
in town Wednesday and claim to have
lost a bag containing 500 in coin in a
manner that would make ashamed the
rawest Reuben that ever landed at
Castle Garden.
The two japs cashed a draft for $500
at the Hilo Wine and Liquor Co.'S store
and carried the coin away in sack.
They stopped at J. d. Kennedy's ac-
cording to their story, and left the bag
of coin on the floor in front of the
show case, where it was forgotten
They went out of the store and in a
few minutes, remembering their coin,
returned to secure it. 1t had been
taken. They at once laid their troubles
before Sheriff Andrews, who is investi-
gatin0
j. d. Kennedy says he remembers
that the Japs were in his store and that
there were three or four other Japanese
hanging around. He did not see the
sack of money. The supposition is
that the two farmers were shadowed by
sharpers who made away with the
Doodle.

THE DRAMA

That splendid war drama Held by
the Enemy" was given its second pre-
sentatton during this engagement by
the Lyceum Stock Company Saturday
night. The play has in it all the ele-
ments to stir enomtion, the clash of
arms, the love of country, the pride
of partisanship, and the power of love.
The play is a pretty ambitious one
for the limitations of a stock company.
1t demands for it's best presentation
more of the aids of properties and
scenery than the Orpheum can COM
mand. 1t calls for a wide range of
capacities and experience in the COM
pany. Yet with all these handcaps,
the Lyceum Stock Company gave a pre-
sentatiOn that was often greeted with
applause, and provoked frequent laugh
ter. W. d. Adams as "Col. Prescott"
gave a consistent Characterization to a
difficult role. c. NJ. ABBOTT, as Lieut..
I Gordon Hayne," carried a trying part
well. Jean De Lacey as Surgeon
Fielding" has dash and strength in
his part. Bruce Hartman as Rufus
an aged negro, gave new evidence of his
versatility. Dixie Ward as Susan
McCreery" was bright and piquant.
George Kunkel as Thomas Bean" a
war correspondent, had one of the few
comedy parts in strong emotional
drama.
The Lyceum company is adding an
element of life that makes residence
here more desirable and deserves the
good will and support of the COM
munity. In giving two performances a
week of standard plays fairly staged
and conscientiously played, the COM
pany is adding much to the intellectual
resources of the community.
