CHIEF ENGINEER WALLACE DIS,
CUsSEs PROPOSED WORK.
New Commander of the Sylph Presento
ed-Justices Pritchard and Wright
Call-Hawaiian Disbarment.

President Roosevelt has received no re-
quest from Colorado for federal interven-
ton in the depIorable affairs in the mining
region there that would permit his taking
any action in that direction. He has not
received kilograms from Colorado citizens
declaring that they are not safe and are
denied the guarantee of the Constitution
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.
Ever since the strike in Colorado began a
good many months ago attempts have been
made to obtain federal interference, but
there has been no ground for It, and the
President will not think of taking the
slightest action except on proper official re-
quest Federal troops can not be sent into
any state except upon the request of
legislature of a state or upon the request
of the governor of the state in case the
legislature can not be convened. In the
Colorado case the request would have to
come from the legislature which could be
called In session at any time the governor
desired. The fact that there has been no
call for the legislature indicates to the
mind of the President that the governor OF
Colorado feels that he can control the
situation with the forces at his command.
There were only four members of the
cabinet at the brief cabinet meeting today.
These were Secretary Moody Secretary
Hay, Secretary Hitchcock and Postmaster
General Payne.
