N'CARREN STILL CONTROLS.
Brooklyn Senator Directs Organization Of
the New County Committee.

The first meeting of the delegates to the
Democratic county committee Of Kings
county who were elected at the last pri-
mary, was held last night, at the headquar'
tiers in Court square, Brooklyn. and the COM
mittee was organized for another year
in a most harmonious tanner.
All the old officers were reelected. They
are Col. James ID. Ball. chairman; Charles
c. Wise, first ice-chairman; Amel Rose,
second vice-chairman; Frank E. 0'Reilly.
secretary; Arthur c. Salmon, treasurer,
and Col. Michael j. Cummings, correspond
ing secretary.
It was apparent that the arraignment
OF Senator p. II. McCarren before the Demo-
cratic State committee for heTesy has not
in any way weakened his leadership. for
at his response on the roll call the dele
gates broke out in general applause, and
he directed the entire proceedings.
The control Of the Senator over the pres
ent county committee is ever more pro-
| nounced than il was in the two preceding
I ones. The delegates from the Second
Assembly district, under the leadership OF
Judge Walsh, in the county committees of
1905 and 1909 were opposed to Senate
McCarren, but the delegates from this
hlN lCN III NIS h>@NA y
Edward j. Meaney, are his earnest sup
porters.
The only opponents Of the Senator in the
present body are the delegates from the
Tenth Assembly district, in which Thomas
r. Farrell is the executive committeeman.
and among whom il included James Shev-
lin, the representative Of the old W~illoughby
street contingent. which has never forgiven
McCarren for his overthrow Of Hugh
Mclaughlin.
Senator McCarren put up no fight against
Farrell and Shevlin in the Tenth district
in the last primary. but he showed his re-
sentiment by deposing Shevlin as a State
| committeeman. The failure OF Farrell
Shevlin and most of the other delegates
from the Tenth district TO participate in the
organization OF the new county
last night. although most of them had pre-
viously qualified by the payment OF their
dues, provoked considerable common
among the other delegates. II was surmised
that their action was Intended to emphasize
their hostility to Senator McCarren anC

Farrell and his associates from the Tenth
district, after paying their dues last night

DEMOCRATS REJOICE.

There Is general rejoicing through
out the state of Colorado, because of
the decision made by Governor
Adams that he will accept the nom
iniation of the Democracitic party. If
il is offered to him, because he thinks
It is his 'bounden duty to the Demo-
cratic party and the people of the
do his best to be elected"
This declaration by Governor
Adams clears up the atmosphere
greatly and Democrats throughout
the state will now come to the fore to
work with all their might to effect his
election and to repudiate the steal
that deprived him of his office.
So far as Judge Lindsey is concern
ed, he would have made a splendid
candidate and in all probability
would have been elected. but we have
adhered to the candidacy of Govern
or Adams that this state might OBJ
tain opportunity to blot from its his
tory that steal. which was the most
barefaced ever perpetrated by the Re
publican party in the west.
With Alva Adams as the standard
bearer of the Democratic party a
whirlwind campaign will be made
that will set this state afire, with a
recital of the robbery of Governor
Adams as this states governor.
Nothing that the Republican party
can do to cloud the issue, by having
its minions state that the election of
Governor Adams is not the para
mount issue in this state. will have
any effect. The Democrats and the
honest Republicans of the state pro-
pose that the wrong done Governor
Adams shall be righted and that
chapter of robbery in the history of
the state shall be blotted out.

scoTcHED ON THE RUN.


In a review of the letter presented
by the attorney for the bond buying
house of E. II. Rollins Co., anent
the bonds of this city to be sold for
the building of the Mountain water
system, there is one assertion which
1t is so easy to contravert that we
simply present a decision in the mat
ter to show how easily even an expert
attorney may be mistaken.
In previous articles. quoting from
Attorney Wheeler, it has been shown
that the confession of the attorney
for the bonding house. that he did
not KNOW, but had found no pro-
vision for the appointment of ITEM
porary president" he confessed to
slight knowledge of the matter.
His last assertion, however, that
he can find no authority granted by
statute or decision to purchase water
for a system already created. is SO
positively a display of ignorance of
the law, as It relates to water rights
in this state, that If no other reason
is responsible for his statement, we
can be generous enough to state that
the attorney made it without any in
vestigation whatever.
Here is statement of the. letter
by Attorney Grier to the bonding
house of Ell. Rollins & Co., 81 might
add that there is nowhere in the
statutes express power given to icsue
H., .,f
works or for the purchase of water
rights"
In a case wherein party by the
name of Adams enjoined the city of
Cripple Creek from the issuance of
bonds for the purchase of water
rights, Justice Gunter, of the Su-
preme Court of thi-- state has pre-
sented the following opinion in the
matter.
1.-THE legislature when IL gave the
municipalities of this state power to
purchase or construct system of
waterworIxs undoubtedly intended to
give them every power necessary to
rncctuate such general power. We
judicially know that in many in
stances this general power would
'umount to nothing, unless there
went with il the power to purchase
water rights OF earlier priorities than
the city could acquire by diversion
and appropriations We think that
the town of Cripple Creek had au-
thority under said section 44O3, to
issue bonds for the purchase of water
rights, therefore, that such recitals in
the bonds were not fatal to the bonds
or coupons issued or attached there
to-"
Very few layman would require the
services of an attorney to interpret
the language of Justice Gunter upon
the matter, the expression alone.
wherein he stated that "every power
necessary to effectuate such general
power is quite sufficient to support
which was passed by the city council
is correct
The power that is given to effect
the building of system of water
works. with all the necessary re-
quirements to make it provide water
for town or city. according to JUS
tice Gunter, has been given by the
legislature. So that we think that
there cannot be much to the general
contentious of Attorney Grier. whose
letter was unofiicially presented to
council at its last session and which
raised the question of the rights of
the city council, the legality of the
ordinance being considered.

SO saying that York would kill her If
he found it out, the attorney then
drew up the notices and had them

not to let York know who had the
notices served as it would endanger
the wife's life. The saloon keepers
refused York whiskey and kept the
fact that his wife had had the notices
served and shortly afterwards York
left for Glenwood. Mr.. Rhone stated
that Mrs. York was a member of the
Christian church of this city and was
generally sympathized with by those
