Greeley.-An important ruling was
made by Judge Nixon in the County
Court Tuesday in the case Of the Rich
ardson Dry Goods Company of st. Jo-
seph, Missouri, against Deck Woods.
The judge ruled that the state law re-
curing foreign corporations to tender
fees to the secretary Of state before
they brought suit In any state other
than their own was unconstitutional in
reference with the interstate com

it's case on the fact that the dry goods

JURY IN LAND FRAUD CASES.
Trial Of Cases In Southwestern Colo
RADIO to Be Held In Denver
and Pueblo.

Denver.-That so many residents
OF Montezuma, Archuleta, Huerfano,
La Plata and Las Animas counties
were indirectly or directly involved
in land frauds that it was impossible
to secure among them unprejudiced
juries to try defendants for these
crimes in manner fair to the govern
ment was the statement of govern
ment officials, which was upheld by
Judge Lewis in the Federal Court Mon
day when the motion for a change Of
venue in the cases of John A. Porter
and others indicted with him came up
for argument.
Afidavits of secret service men in
troduced declared that inasmuch as
there were about 1900 land cases in
those sections of the state, with the
entrymen who gave their services in
securing the land, together with other
witnesses, there are at least 10000 or
10000 people connected with the
frauds in the five counties named.
They explained that only small
percentage of these were criminally
connected and that the majority Of the
balance were law abiding citizens, but
unconsciously, through their friend
ship or relationship with the men in,
dicted, could not help being prejudiced
against the government An effort was
made to have Pueblo and Fremont
counties included in the list where the
citizens should be barred from the

Judge Lewis announced that he was
not certain as to them and would not
hand down any decision in regard to
them until he had made further inves
tigation.
Porter and his fellow defendants
wanted the two cases in which they
figure moved to Pueblo for trial. Their
attorney, John NJ. Waldron. argued
that if the cases were tried here, the
witnesses and defendants would prac
tically come among strangers and
that the constitution guaranteed them
the right to be tried in their own 10
calities. Judge Lewis agreed with him
in this, but also considered the sig
nificant allegations made by Special
Assistant Attorney General knabe
and the secret service agents.

comfort of the court or the witnesses,
said Judge Lewis waving aside Other
arguments. "Whst we are more con
cerned with is getting jury to give
the men and the government both an
impartial hearing. AS to the objections
against Pueblo. ! think it is pretty
comfortable town"
He then announced that to be fall
to both sides he would allow one Of
the cases to be tried in Denver and
the other in Pueblo. He gave the at
torneys until four O'Clock to decide
among them which should be tried ir
