Forgotten Claim Revived.

Denver, July S.-By the discovery Of
q forgotten letter Gen. C.. e. Cooper
has probably saved the state of Colo
RADIO about $4,000.
A year ago on July 10th letter
came from the War Department to
Governor Peabody announcing that a
law had been adopted by which the
states would be reimbursed for their
expenditures, but the claim must be
fled by January /, 1906 A day or two
later this letter was turned over to the
adjutant general and no one thought
anything more. of it. 1t seems that
the letter was pigeonholed by General
Bell and there remained. In going
through some old papers General
Cooper came across 1t and called the
attention of the governor to the mat
ter. General Cooper, who v the gov
ernor's military adviser, was in
structed to work with Adjutant Wells
In preparing claim for the state.

Immediately modified the state mill

established at City Park and In the
course Of two or three weeks the en-
listment of the men as the First Colo

It is this expenditure that the gov
eminent will pay. but II the letter had

fore next January the state might

CANNOT BUILD REFINERY.
Kansas Supreme Court Declares Law
Unconstitutional.


Topeka, Kans., July s.-The law
passed by the Legislature last winter
appropriating $4,000 to build an in.
dependent oil refinery at Peru was yes.
terday declared unconstitutional by the
State Supreme Court In an opinion by
Associate Justice Greene
The oil refinery law was considered
one Of the most direct blows struck at
the Standard Oil Company by the last
Legislature. which adopted several
measures tending to restrict that con-
cern in the handling of the Kansas
product.
The oil refinery law provided for the
erection at Peru, also Of a branch 1t
the State Penitentiary to house sum
cient prisoners, who, 1t was intended,
were to work the oil plant.
The court holds that the construction
Of the refinery and the branch peniten-
tiary In connection with it is in viola.
tton of the state constitution, which de-
clares:s
"The state shall never be party In
carrying on any works Of internal Inn
provement."
The construction and operation OF
such refinery, it is held. would be q
work Of internal improvement.
Governor Hoch was greatly disap-
pointed at the decision and said:
Nov that we have started 1t,
wanted to go on and run our refinery.
We would have secured more than its
costs in the price of oil in few
months. II I had been the Supreme
Court would have strained point to
have declared the law constitutional.
