Mr.. Shafroth: mean the steamship,
the largest steamer in the world.
Mr.. Cannon: First, is there due pro-

Mr.shafroth: Well. the city has an
ordinance by which the charges of the

Mr.. Shafroth: That is true, it was

concerned. it was taken up for agri-

500 acres. There was no surface indi-

IN CONGRESS AND oUT.-IF FOR
AKER RETIRES, HOW CAN
sHAFRoTH REMAIN7


Senator Foraker has apparently
been retired from public life on the
mere accusation that he acted in Con
gress in the capacity of attorney for
a corporation. He denies the fact, and
it has not been proved, but the mere
attack has apparently been enough to
place him on the retired list.
John Shafroth, when he was in Con
gress, acted for the Denver Union
ilege passed through the House for
them, and the record shows it.
Prior to that time he had been at.
torney for this corporation, and he has
acted as attorney for them since.
When he was in Congress. he advo-
Gated giving to that company 1850
acres of government land in connection
with a reservoir. and the bill was
passed, and they got the land The fol-
lowing is part of the colloquy that en-

Mr.. Cannon: / want to ask the ge:l-
tlemen from what committee is the bill

1000 acres of land to corporation at
sl.25 per acre
Mr. Shafroth: Yes.
Mr.. Cannon: That is held not to be
wise in the Philippines. Is it wise in
the United states?
Mr.. Shafroth: Yes, it is wise under
these circumstances. will explain
the provision of this bill. The bill was
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Teller and passed the Senate about a
week ago.
Mr.. Speaker: The water com
pany that furnishes water for the
city Of Denver is at present erectine
very large reservoir up in the noun
tains. This reservoir is going to cost

they have found difficulty in protecting
what may be termed the water shed
for that reservoir. For instance, they
have found dead animals in the stream
above which contaminates the water.
They feel that in order to get pure
water supply it is absolutely neces-
sary that this land be sold to them by
the government. The bill originally
introduced took in about 1900 acres
of land but the Senate committee after
examining the matter very carefully
cut it down to 1000 and some odd
acres. 1t takes in the water shed that
covers this reservoir, so that they can
fence it. so that they can prevent any
contamination of the waters of the res
ervoir. Some provision of this kind
is absolutely necessary in order to in
sure the purity of the water These
lands are worth practically nothing.
They are rocky lands. This reservoir
is located, I think, about 5000 feet
above the sea level 1t is some 200
feet in depth, it extends about seven
miles in one direction 1t is so large
and so deep that the Kaiser Wilhelm
could float on it for seven miles.

SHEPARD MUST SERVE TINE
Judge Marshall Issues Orders for His
Confinement in Leavenworth
Prison

Judge John A. Marshall closed the final
chapter in the case of the United States
against Richard B. Shepard Monday
morning, when. in accordance with in
structions from the attorney general, he
issued an order for the confinement of
Mr.. Shepard in the federal prison at Leay-
enworth, Kan, instead of in the Utah
state prison.
Shepard was sentenced TO serve thir-
teen months in the Utah penitentiary
having been convicted of sending obscene
matter through the mails. He was re-
leased on 5000 bond and has fought the
case through every court i'll the United
States. His last appeal to the supreme
court of the United States was denied.
This being his last recourse, he must now
serve his sentence.
United States Marshal Smyth will leave
with the prisoner the early part of next
week, as the order for his confinement
goes into effect Nov 16. Meanwhile, Shep-
ard has a few days more of liberty.
There was no fine connection with the
sentence.

SECTIONS ARE IN CONFLICT
City Attorney Holds That City Must
Pay Its Share of improvements
at intersections.

In compliance with a request of the
city council a week ago respecting the
liability of abutting property owners for
all Of the cost of sidewalk, and perhaps
other improvements at intersections, the
city attorneys office last night submit
ted an opinion prepared by Chief Depu-
ty P. J. DAILY.
In effect, the opinion holds that the
section, 276. which moved Councilman Hall
to introduce the resolution in the first
place, is in conflict with other sections
of the state statutes, and that ii is not
effective. In brief. the opinion is to the
effect that the city must stand it's pro-
portion of the Improvement tax where
the intersections are concerned. The prin-
ciple of the greatest good to the great
est number is in a way applied.
The matter was referred to the munich
pal laws committee in order that it may
be further threshed out. 1t is understood
that at least one of the councilmen is
not satisfied with the opinion and pro-
poses to get the views of other lawyers
on the matter.

Owing TO the objection of the various liv-

roar gave to the horses, the animal was
taken to the Rio Grande freight sheds
Saturday night, after the closing perfor-
nance. The lion was not fed meat Sun
day, and yesterday morning evinced his
hunger by fearsome roars and flashing
about the cage.
The employees in the freight house, it
is said, stood it for while, but when the
Hon began dashing at the bars with such
strength and ferocity that his escape
seemed imminent, they took to their heels
and refused to enter the house. The
owner of the lion and other members of
the company were importuned to come
and take it away. but as no better place
could be obtained for its safekeeping
after a contract was closed for
the appearance of the lion act in a local
theatre beginning today, the owner con-
cluded to let the Unframed" remain in
the freight house until today in spite of
the fear of the employees there.
