ExONORATED.

At II o'clock this morning b. n
Freeman received telegram from
his attorney. Judge Q. c. Richmond
of Denver. stating that Judge Robert

now In Denver, had today dismissed
all the coal land Indictment cases

This will he pleasing news, the same
as it was last week when Judge Lewis
exonerated X. e. Sloan and others
charged with timber frauds. In the
face of this what of the venal press
that charged and published broadcast
to the world the La Plata county was

pirates. The Herald was attacked be
cause 1t would not try these cases and
convict the indicted men In advance OF

ground that the courts were for the
purpose OF trying men charged with
crime and that it would await a full
hearing. Judge Lewis has now de-
clared these men inocent of criminal.
ly defrauding the government. No
doubt the attorneys on both sides went
into the argument at length in all the
cases and Judge Lewis evidently found
nothing to incriminate the men alleged
to be guilty.
While those behind the prosecution
were undoubtedly honest in their be
liefs, relying largely on the word OF
people of the Dave Day stripe, the
indictments have worked a hardship.
Through daily attacks OF the Morn
ing Democrat on Messrs. Freeman and
Eldredge the solvency of the Colorado
State bank was attacked and the clos
ing OF It's doors can no doubt be laid
largely to the indictments and the
mouthings of the Democrat. By its
policy the morning paper has brought

IMMloRArloN ANo THE EXODUS.

Iu view of the recent talk and spec

the wholesale departures on the i'm
migration movement, the figures just
published by the Washington bureau
of immigration may appear distinctly
surprising.
They relate to the movements for
November AS well as the total OF new
arrivals for the six months ended
f17.476 aliens were admitted into the
country. as against 94021 for the cor
responding month Of 1906. For the
six months covered by the bulletin
the total immigration was 678,375, or
an increase of not less than IS per
cent over the same number of months
OF the previous year. Tie total for
1906 was 'frecord-breaker," and so
will be the total for 1907 when finally

and the discharges of laborers by
some of the railroads, contractors and
manufacturers did not follow until No

may have done, or may yet do, In the
way of checking the drift to this coun-

monthly statements of immigration
and emigration totals and percentages
of gain or loss.
The December figures will be to
some extent symptomatic. but not so
much as those for the next several
months. We hear from Austrian ports
that steamers with accommodations
