 INVOKES LAW Claims Immunity From
 Arrest. CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED Senator Lsith Says He Was
 Trapped. woman sought Him for Legal Advice and He Was Shocked to Find
 Himself in Evil
 Company.

Stories of conspiracy on State Sem ator N. L. Leith of Walker county. and the fact that Representative w. H. Long. IT,, of Morgan county contests his arrest on the ground that legis- lator is immune from arrest during the session of the Legislature. for mis- demeanor, added interest yesterday to the sensational arrest of the lawmak- CTS Friday night.
 Ofhcials of the police department say that 1t is the first time in the his- tory of the department that legisla- tor has contended that he Is constitu- tionally free from arrest during the session of the Legislature or in com Ing to or going from the sessions of " of the State Constitution was quot edto substantiate the position.
 The section in question follows:
 Members of the Legislature shall, in all cases except for treason, feio- ny. violation of their oath of office and breach Of peace. be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective houses. and going and returning from the same: and for any speech or debate in either house. shall not bc questioned in any other place."
 Chief Taylor contends that the laws mean to imply that . member of the Legislature may not be arrested on his trips to and from the sessions of the Legislature. so as not to interfere in any way with his deliberations. but that the law does not mean to convey the idea that man, after having re- turned to his home, or in his tempor- Rry home in the city, shall not be arr rested for misdemeanor committed while his branch of the Legislature stands adjourned.
 Attorney General Garber upholds the contention of the representatives that they are immune for arrest in the cases cited.

Statement by Senator.
 Senator Leith. when seen by re. porter Of The Advertiser yesterday af- ternoon.f deplored the publicity given his arrest. but talked frankly of the incident
 Tt is but naturai,. said the Senator. for any one to deplore such occur- ences, and 1t Is needless to say that 1t carries, with 1t great humiliation. As the matter appeared from this. morn ing's paper, as 1t is now. without a denial from me, every person who read the article would naturally censure me the more because of my official posi- ton. I looks bad and unless the pub lie, especially those people whom l have the honor to represent in the up- per branch of the Legislature, have the facts, 1t goes without saying that they too will feel the humiliation such ac- cusation upon their representative would place upon them. Tn addition to these considerations. perhaps Dit paramount to all others, ] owe a duty to my family and to myself in the mat ter

On Friday evening" while was at supper, 1 was informed that some one desired to speak to me over the phone. Upon inquiry was apprised that it was the lady who had employ ed me, as stated above. She desired 10 see me with reference to my employ ment but I informed her that had II friends which would consume quite all of the evening, perhaps until II o. clock She then suggested that If 1t was convenient to me she would meet me at that hour at a certain public restaurant. as she expected to be down town any way, To this agreed. and at the appointed time met her. We talk ed over the business matter, mean while had a lunch. After the termina- ton of the business I got up to ex- cuse myself as I was not feeling we'll, when she invited me to her home, an invitation which I courteously declin- ed.

GRAND VALLEY CANAL TO

AN IMPORTANT Interview

OF the very keenest interest to the
people of this city and this section is
an interview with Congressman at
Large Ed. T. Taylor, whose home Is
at Glenwood and who was President
Taft's guest on his recent tour across
the state The interview entirely con

canal and 1t gives many heretofore
unannounced views of President Taft
and Secretary Ballinger's concerning
the project so near to the hearts of
the people of this valley. The inter
view appeared in yesterdays issue of
the Glenwood Post. Few, if any men,
in Colorado are in as close personal
touch with President Taft as is Con-
gressman Taylor and no man in west
ern Colorado is nowhere near as close
in touch with the president as is Mr.
Taylor. The interview is one that is
most encouraging to the people of
this valley and owing to its interest
and importance The Sentinel repro
duces ii in full as follows:
Much has been said and written the
past few months regarding the build
ing of the High Line canal in lower
Grand valley, AT times the enthus-
iasm of the ranchers and fruit men
of that section was running above
fever heat, only to be chilled by a re-
port to the effect that sit is all off
and the canal will not be built by the
government" 1t was but couple of
weeks ago that the people of Grand
valley received a shock when the re-
port was circulated over the state
TO the affect that the government
does not intend TO undertake any
new projects and the one in Grand
valley has been construed as a new
one. Why should not the people OF
Grand valley feel wee bit blue ovel

plans and worked early and late to be

this Mr.. Taylor became very enthus-
iastic, and said: Well, / should say
so. You see we rode for at least ten
miles on the rear platform of the
presidents car and that gave us a
good chance to see everything and the
president was more than pleased at
the work that has been done by the
farmers. And he is equally aware
of the fact that more water is needed

sons to supply such. canal If built.
assured him that ii was during the
irrigating season that the Grand river
had the most water and that it was at
low tide that the farmers were not
using water for irrigating. This
pleased both the secretary and Mr..
Taft and seemed to remove the last
doubt in their minds regarding the
praoticability of the project They
were both free to say that they con-
sidered the canal as being badly need
ed by the Grand valley people and the
fact that they both gave me TO UNDER

unfinished project rather than one
