FRANCHISE SUSTAINED.
Denver Gas and Electric Company
Wins in Court.

Denver.-Judge Peter l.. Palmer
Tuesday swept the last prop from un-
der the quo warranto suit instituted to
test the Denver Gas and Electric Com
pany's title to the twenty-year fran
chise, which on the face of the returns
was approved by the qualified taxpay
ing electors at the municipal election
held on May 18th.
AT the suggestion CT the attorneys
for the Light company, Judge Palmer
ruled tnat any voter who owned prop
erty subject to assessment, whether
assessed or not, was qualified tax
paying elector," and as such was en-
titled to vote on the franchise. In the
face of this ruling it was deemed use
less for the district attorney to pro-
ceed with the case, and Mr.. Silver
stein, speaking for District Attorney
Stidger, SO stated to the court. The
state, therefore, rested its case and
gave notice of an appeal to the SUI
preme Court. Judge Palmer immedi-
ately entered Judgment for the Light
company and signed the decree that
was prepared by the attorneys for the
corporation.

People Freezing in Kansas.

Topeka, Kas.-With the thermome-
ter lowering around the zero point in
many towns of southwest Kansas and
with no coal to keep themselves from
freezing if the cold wave continues, the
residents are making arrangements to
meet the emergency by congregating
In churches and public schoolhouses to
avert possible death from exposure.
The situation has become so desperate
that an appeal has been made to Gov
ernor Hoch to exert his official power
to procure supply of fuel for the suf-
ferers, petitions already having come
to the governor from Meade, Liberal,
Cimarron and other towns.

LINES
TO BE INSTITUTED BY COLORADO
G. SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
new ENGINEER APPOINTED
Will Lay Track From Denver to Louis
willie Junction - Preparations to
Electrify All Its Northern Colorado
ipes

Denver.-The Denver Republican
says that changes in the operating de-
partment of the Colorado & Southern
have just been made whereby Chief
Engineer II. w. Cowan is promoted to
be superintendent of maintenance from
the northern terminus of the system in
Wyoming to Galveston, Texas, includ
ing the new roads recently absorbed by
the Colorado & Southern; also the ap-
pointment of Engineer Vincent, for
merly of Fort Worth, as assistant chief
engineer. Further, this will bring
about the creation of a new position
entirely-that of electrical engineer,
which will be filled by G. j. Hartman,
superintendent of the electrical de-
partment of the Cripple Creek Short
Line, including the High and Low lines
at Cripple Greek.
These changes have been made rec
essary by the consolidation of the va
rious short roads recently acquired by
The C. 4 s., and by the work OF cleo
Erification which will be begun imme-
diately. Contracts will be let the first
of next month for the grading of the
new Denver & Interurban road, an
electric line under the control of the
c. & S. between Denver and Louis
Vile Junction, from where the track
of the C. & S. will be used on to
Boulder, while work on the new street
railway for Fort Collins, which is to
be operated in conjunction with the
electric line from Denver to Boulder
will be begun the first of January
I'VE have decided to commence
work on the electriication of the
northern Colorado line Immediately,
said Mr.. Cowan yesterday, "and for
that purpose decided to take Mr..
Hartman over this month. He will
commence Immediately where we
have been getting ready for bids on
the grading of the new line from Den
yer to Louisville Junction. 1t is our
/ purpose to electrify all the northern
Colorado lines as rapidly as advisable
and as we can arrange for men and
equipment. The electrical engineer
ing department is to be separate from
that of the regular engineering depart
ment of the road, and will be confined
, largely to the construction work in
northern Colorado.

CAN THE council
TAKE THIS DOSE

AS predicted in this paper
Charles S. Bihler has been handed
most of the blame for the Howard
street disaster.
Mr.. Bihler is now in New Haven,
Conn.
In the committees report the
fact that Bihler acted soley in
capacity of the Washington Water
Power company employee and agent
has no bearing on the case. This
is the one case where the principal
cannot be held by the acts of his
authorized representative.
For the reason. 1t is argued, that
the board Of public works failed to
see that the work was properly
done.
In other words it is guilty Of put.
ting its faith in the following
promise
"The Washington Water Power
company has entered into contract
with Bennett & Bihler, and the
Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging
company, to make the necessary
requirements, extensions, additions
and repairs to make said bridges
