ROYAL GORGE RAILROAD.
Company Organized at Canon City to
Build Line.

Denver.-A Canon City dispatch
says: The Canon City, Florence &
Royal Gorge Interurban Railroad Com
pany was organized here Thursday
with capital stock of $1,500,000. A
bond issue of $500,000 was authorized
the bonds to run twenty years with
guaranteed interest of five per cent,
payable semi-annually. The company
is oficered as follows:
President, F. b. Street, New York
City; vice president and general man
ager, F. S. Granger; treasurer, James
H. Peabody; secretary, Richard Houle;
director, T. N. Harding; attorneys,
Waldo & Dawson.
The building of an electric line from
this city to Florence, South Canon,
East Canon, Lincoln park and the
top of the Royal Gorge is now abso-
lutely assured. Orders have been
placed for the material for the road,
surveys have been made, construction
of the roadbed will begin Immediately,
rails will be laid in April and the
whole system will be in operation by
July 1st according to the statement of
General Manager Granger. The Royal
Gorge branch will be one of the great
est scenic lines in the world, rivaling,
If not surprising, the famous cog line
to the top of Pixies Peak.
The road will be built across great
crevice in the east wall of the gorge,
opposite and directly above the hang
ing bridge of the Arkansas. At this
point the cars will be suspended 2.300
feet above the river, commanding a
fine view Of the gorge, the bridge, the
railroad and the river below. 1t will
be the highest bridge in the world.
From this point the Arkansas river
looks like tiny silver thread and

ming at full speed like serpent

lishment Of this scenic road will make

Eastern Freight Reduction.

Chicago.-To anticipate action by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
representatives of western roads In
conference here have practically de-
cided upon fifteen per cent. reduction
on all classes of freight. This is to
apply on everything from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Missouri river and
down the Mississippi valley. 1t is said
these rates have not ben readjusted
for fifteen years, during which time
the population has become dense and
the roads would prefer the voluntary
action to probably more drastic reduc-
tions were complaints to be carried
into the courts. II Is expected similar
action will be taken by western roads.

NEW NATIONAL BANKS.
Forty-one Were Chartered During
Month of February.

Washington.-In his report for Feb
ruary of operations under national
bank law the comptroller of currency
says:
An addition of $2,225,O0O to the au-
thorized capital stock of national
banks was the result of the chartering
OF forty-one associations during the
month of February. Thirty of these
banks, with aggregate capital Of $775,-
900, were with individual capital OF
less than $4,000, and eleven, capital
of $1,450,000, with individual capital OF
$50,000 or over. Charter Bonds to the.
amount of $621,S50 were deposited by.
these new associations.
From 1868 to March IA, 1900, there
were organized 5,264 national banks,
and from the latter date to February
%, 1906, 2,4S9 associations. In other
words, thirty-five per cent. of the
banks chartered during the existence
of the national bank system were Or
ganized subsequent to March IA, 1900.
The capital stock of the banks organ
lied since the latter date was $780,
l104,S00, and charter bonds deposited
at the date of organization SAL, ,30O,0 900.
Nearly two-thirds Q,S57) of the banks
organized in this period were with in
dividual capital of less than $4,000,
the average being slightly in excess
of $4,000, the minimum required by
the act of March IA, 1900.
Organizations effected under the act
Of 1864 and since March IA, 1900, num-
bered 992, with capital of $117,662,S 800,
the aggregate capital of smaller banks
being $4S,442,OO0. The greatest in
crease, both in number and capital of
banks, occurred in the middle western.
states, namely, 1874, and $51 ,511 900, re-
spectively. The southern division was
second in the list with 72S banks and
capital of $39,273,500. In the western
states division 625 banks were incor-
porated, with capital of $20,562, 900;
the eastern states follow in number OF
banks, namely, 463, the capital of the
associations being $37,273,000. In the
Pacific states 100 banks, with capital
of 11,547, 800, were organized, and in
the New England states thirty-fve
banks, with capital of $5,235, 900.
Three banks, with aggregate capital
of $550,000, have been organized in
Hawaii, and one bank, with capital Of
100000, in Porto Rico.
Nearly forty-five per cent. of the
banks chartered since March IA, 1900,
with approximately fifty per cent. of
the authorized capital stock, represent
conversions or reorganizations of state
or private banking institutions; the
number of conversions being 80, re-
organizations $50, and primary organ
iZations, 1859.
By reason of liquidations and fail
ures the net increase in number OF

banks, was $3.50, ,s03,S95, an increase

HABEAs CORPUS DENIED.
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone Must
Stand Trial.

Boise, Idaho-The Idaho Supreme
Court Monday decided that Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone must stand
trial in the Idaho courts for the MUIR
der OF Ex-Governor Steunenburg and
that the question of how they were ex-
tradited was immaterial. In deciding
the motion to strike out the portions of
the answer dealing with the manner of
bringing the prisoners from Colorado,
Chief Justice Stockslager said:
This court is of the opinion that
where the prisoners are within the
Jurisdiction of the demanding state
and are there applying to its courts
for relief, they cannot raise the
question as to whether or not. as a
matter of fact, they are refugees from
justice within the meaning Of the fed
eral constitution and the act of Con-
gress Hereunder.
"A careful and diligent examination
of the many authorities upon this sub
ject and the reasons that exist for in
voking the aid of the writ in such
cases, convinces us that the question
as to whether or not a citizen is refu-
gee from justice, is one that can only
be available to him so long as he is be-
yond the Jurisdiction of the state
against whose laws he is alleged to
have transgressed.
ut is remedy which does not go to
the merits of the case and does not in
volve the inquiry as to whether or not
he is in fact guilty or innocent Of the
offense charged. 1t is remedy that
merely goes to the question of his re-
moval from the jurisdiction in which
he is found to the jurisdiction against
whose laws he is charged with Offend
ing.
"If these views are correct, and we
believe they are, 1t follows that so soon
as the prisoner is within the jurisdic-
tion of the demanding state, both the
reason and object for invoking this
principle in law have ceased and can
no longer have any application"
Attorney Richardson saved an ex-
ception to the ruling and judgment OF
the court and gave notice that an ap-
peal on writ of error would be taken
to the United States Supreme Court.
