TO INVESTIGATE
ELECTION FRAUDS

Denver. Sept. 19.-Yesterday Judge
Malone of the District Court ordered a
grand jury summoned for Friday to in
vestigate the alleged registration
frauds and any crimes that may be
committed against the ballot on cleo
tion day. This order was made in re-
sponse to a petition accompanied by
affidavits, filed by the charter cam
paign committee alleging that the reg
istration books had been padded to an
alarming extent. and that a conspiracy
existed to steal the election against the
charter.
In his finding on the petiticc, Judge
Malone says:
This court thoroughly agrees with
the remarks of one of the petitioners.
that because election frauds and
wrongs have been allowed to go unre-
buked and unpunished in the past is
no reason why such frauds and wrongs
should be now perpetrated or encour-
aged or why the wrong-doers should
longer go unwhipped of justice. This
court will try and not be imposed up
ON or be used to impose upon others,
but can be counted upon to do its duty
to the limit of its wisdom and power.
The court will. therefore, make an
orler that grand jury be drawn. re-
turnable one week from to-day, at 10
O'Clock, to consider such matters as
may then or thereafter be lawfully pre-
sented for its consideration.
The petitioners and all other per-
sons may then present to the district
attorney, or to the court, any evidence
they may have to offer"

Ogden. Utsk- Sapt. 19..-rhe eleventh
National Irrigation Congress came to
an end late yesterday afternoon. II re-
, elected Senator w. A. Clark OF Mon
tana president. and decided to hold the
congress in 1904 in Ell Paso. and
adopted q platform which requested
congress to make needed notifications
In the existing land laws In order that
speculation and monopoly of public
domain be prevented.
The great fight of the congress came
up this afternoon when the report OF
the committee on resolutions was
made. Over the adoption or rejection
pf the clauses of the majority report re-
questIng that Congress repeal the de-
sert land act, the timber and stone act
and the Communication clause OF the
homestead act. occurred debate OF
four hours duration, exceedingly bit
ter at times, and participated In by
some OF the most prominent men In
the work of irrigation. The opposition
to the National Irrigation Congress
committing itself in any such manner
was led by former Senator Carey OF
Wyoming. Congressman Mondell OF
Wyoming and Congressman Shafroth
of Colorado, and when a substitute for
these provisions of the majority report
was offered by, Congressman Needham
of California. simply requesting Con-
gress to modify the land laws. the
whole strength of the opposition was
thrown in its favor. The result is re-
garded by them as a decided victory in
that the national body of irrigationists
did not come out In direct opposition to
the laws they 80 strongly defended.
The majority report urges the imme-
diate and absolute repeal Of the desert
land act, the Communication clause OF the
homestead. act, the timber and stone
ect and the lieu provision Of the forest
reserve act. and the purchase or con-
demnation of private lands within for
est reservations. 1t urges the exten-
sion of the forest reserve act and that
the forest work be concentrated in the
hands of the Bureau of Forestry OF the
Agricultural Department. The report
urges the conservation of the flood wa
tiers of the Columbia. Sacramento. Col
oado. Rio Grande. Arkansas and Mis-
souri, rivers. and their tributaries, and
the subsequent extension of the vast
irrigation projects. 1t recommends the
appointment of a committee by the
President to investigate and report

Needham of California offered a substi-
tute for both reports as follows:
whereas. the timber and stone act,
the desert land law and the commuta-
ton clause of the homestead act have
in many Instances in their administra-
tion been found to result in specula-
ton and in monopoly of the public do
main to the exclusion of actual home
building; therefore be 1t
Resolved. that We request the Con-
gress of the United States to make such
notifications in said laws as will save
the remaining public lands for actual
settlers, who will found homes and live
upon said lands"
Amidst considerable confusion the
roll was called, and resulted In the
adoption of the Needham substitute by
vote Of 2l2 to 1is.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Le.dvIIle stree. Suit. Appealed.

For the second time the Supreme
Court is asked to decide the
Ease originally brought in Lake
eounty to settle the question OF
whether the city of Leadville or sew
eral mining companies own the land
beneath the surface of several streets
end alleys. The papers In two appeal
clerk, the City of Leadville vs. the
Colorado Mining Company and the
Wolcott Mining Company. and the City
Of Leadville VS.. the st. Louis Smelling
4 Refining Company and the Bohn
Mining Company. The city is the ap-
pellant.
Years ago. these companies gave the
city the right of way for several streets
md alleys, beneath which 1t is now
known are situated valuable bodies OF
gold and silver ore. The city claims
the title to the land in fee simple.
which would make it the owner of the
property clear to the other side of the
earth. On the other hand. the compa-
MES in question claim that they gave
away only the surface rights for the
Use of the streets and alleys.
When the mining companies began
10 excavate under the city streets suit
was brought by the municipality and
the mining companies won In the lower
court.
The city appealed to the Supreme
Court and the main question was the
Rdmissability of certain testimony
The supreme court reversed the deci-
sion and the case went back for new
trial. The mining companies won
again and now the case comes to the
supreme court on the main issues.
The case is one OF the most impOr-
tant ever brought in the state and
means much to both parties concerned
because OF tie great value of the ore
deposits beneath the city.
