THE PEOPLE WIN ONE FIGHT.

An astonishing thing has hap
pened. The Supreme court,
through Judge Bailey, has refused
to stop Judge Lindsey from in
vestigating the franchise frauds
in Denver and as a result the in
vestigation is going merrily on.
The following report clipped
from the Chieftain will show how
complete was the corporation
Knockout:
DENVER, Aug. S.-For the first
time in three years and for the
first time since the fight which
has been on between the corpor-
atoms and the people, the at
torneys who are representing the
corporations failed in their at
tempt to get relief from the su-
preme court. Judge Bailey this
morning refused to grant their
application for writ of super
sedeas to stop Judge Lindsey
from conducting his investigation
into election frauds that grew out
of the franchise fight and as re-
suit of Judge Bailey's refusal to
interfere. four of the representa-
tives OF the corporations are in
Jail for refusing to testify, five
of them are missing and cannot
be found and two paid fines this
morning for contempt. The at
torneys for the corporations an
nounce that they will go before
the supreme court again tomorrow
and ask that tribunal to grant a
supersedeas in connection with
the sentence imposed upon these
men and secure their release on
bonds until after the court can
hear their cases on their merits.
The super 'edeas asked for yester-
day were to stop Judge Lindsey
from conducting the examination.
The four men who are in Jail are:
Henry l.. Doherty, president
Denver Gas & Electric company.
]. Cook, Jr., real estate man,
who is accused of leasing certain
lands to the gas company upon
which tax receipts we're issued.
Fred A. Williams, former chair
man OF the republican county
central committee.
G. N. Ordway, president of the
Denver election commission.
The FIVE men who have not
been found are:
F. w. Freauff, secretary of the
Denver Gas & Electric company.
Andrew Smithers, county COM
missioner.
w. T. Davoren, chairman of the
democratic city central COM
mittee.
]. H. Brown, who had charge
of the campaign for the franchises.
c. N. Stannard, an employe of
the gas company.
The two men who paid fines for
contempt were William Laille and
Theodore Griffen.

on your land that caused this
walk" and the two men laughed
over the incident.
The four men stopped for a
moment on the stairway that
leads into the Jail and took in a
birdseye view of the visible sec
ton OF the city. They were then
escorted to the main Office where
they were registered, the same as
all prisoners, and were committed
to the north wing of the Jail.
Attorney Thomas Ward has
been given charge of the prepa-
ration of their applications for
supersedeases.
After Judge Lindsey had sen
fenced the six men he instructed
the sheriff to bring the ballot
boxes from Ward 13, Precinct 3.
The sheriff went to the warehouse
where the boxes are kept and
without any difficulty secured the
boxes he was ordered to get. The
corporations announced last night
that they would prevent the judge
from getting the boxes by force
if necessary and they had armed
fifteen men and put them around
the building. When Judge Bailey
refused to stop Judge Lindsey
this morning the corporations evil
IDENTIFY thought they had better
not try the securing of the boxes,
as they called away the men
wrom they had stationed there to
guard them.
When the boxes were brought
into the court room it was found
that there were no keys for them.
Judge Lindsey sent after the
members of the election commits
sion and also the secretary of the
election commission and asked
them for the keys, but these gen.
tlemen stated that they did not
know where they were.
A locksmith had to be called,
and it was a o'clock before any OF
the boxes were opened. The
boxes have spring locks, and the
keys we're found on the inside.
The ballots of the franchise votes
of the tramway and the gas COM
panies were counted. 1t was
found that the gas company fell
eight short of what had been re-
ported for it and the tramway
company fell four short of what
had been reported. If this is an

terday. 1t was just 8 o'clock
when Judge Bailey notified the
attorneys in waiting that he was
ready to announce his decision.
The attorneys for the corpora
tions, who have always won be-
fore this court were apparently
confident while the other attor-
neys looked as though they ex
pected to lose But Judge Bailey
hadn't said three words before
the countenances of the opposing
attorneys began to change and at
the close of his remarks, which
were very short, the attorneys for
the corporations were visibly af-
fected. The Judge said:
Under the practice of the
court one of the judges in vaca-
ton may not issue writ of pro-
hibitlon nor an order to show
cause why such writ should not
be issued. The effect of this aP.
plication is for a prohibition or
der. While it may be called by
another name, 1t has the same re
suit and legal effect. What l
cannot do directly. may not do
indirectly. While stay orders in
junctive in their nature have
sometimes been issued, know
of no instance in which this has
been done by judge in vacation,
except to preserve the status of
property or property rights. l
found no record of such an order
having been made by judge in
vacation to prevent an investiga-
ton by trial. If the county court
is without jurisdiction to try the
cause respondents rights may be
saved by appeal or writ of error
after final decree.
ut was said in the Wheeler
case that one of the attributes of
this court is, if necessary, to in
vent new writs or proceedings in
order, suitably, to exercise the
jurisdiction conferred by the con-
stitution; but this inventive power
may not be exercised by one of
the judges.

For moment everybody in the
court room was dumbfounded.
1t then began to dawn on those
who were present that the judge
had refused to stop Lindsey and
that for the first time there was
apparently an opportunity for
the much talked of election to be
investigated.
Judge Lindsey was notified and
he Immediately called his court

that they would and he fined them
