POLITICAL TROUBLES I'M
COLORADO ARE SETTLED

Denver, Colo, Jan.Io.--With the ex-
ception of the contest for the governor
ship which will be fled by Gov. Pea
body on Wednesday and the hearing of
which will continue through several
weeks, tie political troubles of Colora-
do that are of particular interest to the
outside world have been settled.
Despite all the incendiary talk that
has been made from time to time the
troubles have been adjusted amicably.
The last fight was waged. in the sen
ate when Luther M. Goddard. of Den
yer and George w. Bailey, of Fort Col
Inns, who were nominated by Governor
Peabody for the supreme bench, were
confirmed after a hard fight.
The two Wolcott republican senator's,
Campbell and De Long, who, on Sat
urday, had voted with the democrats,
came in with the regulars late in the
morning, and two democratic senator's,
Ballinger and Hill also came over. Both
democrats voted for Bailey, making the
totals of his nomination 81 to Is. Bal
linger remained with the republicans
when Goddard's name came up again,
and the vote then was 20 to ID. The
democrats claim that, irasmuch as the
two appointments are not effective until
April, Governor Peabody had no legal
right to name them, but should allow
Governor Adams to select them. An
effort probably will be made at some
later time to induce Governor Adams
to appoint two men in place of God.
dard and Bailey The appointments
confirmed today will make the com
plexion of the court seven republicans
and two DEMOCRATS.

COPPER COMPANY USES Ill.,.
u. S. TIMBER FOR FUEL

Washington, Jan. Io.--The supreme
court of the United States decided the
case of the, United States VS.. the
Copper Verde Mining Co. of Arizona,
which was a proceeding to recover
$4,000 on account of timber cut from
the public lands and used in roasting
ore. Al regulation Of the interior de-
partment directed that timber should
not be used for smelling purposes,
whereas the law authorized miners to
cut public timber for domestic pur-
poses. The opinion was by Justice
Nc Kenna, who held that the words
domestic purpose" !" included the
roasting Of ore, and the mining COM
.pany was entitled to cut timber on the
public land for that purpose. He also
held that the secretary had no author
ity to promulgate a regulation extend
ing the scope Of the law as would be
the effect in this case If ore roasting
was to be construed as ore smelling.
The opinion affirmed the decision of
the Arizona supreme court. &.
& Justices Harlan, Brown and Peck
ham united in dissenting opinion,
based on the theory that ore roasting
is not domestic process,
