The Moffat Tunnel.

Senator Cove is in receipt of the
following telegram from John A. Por-
ter Of Denver, who is on the Pacific
coast in reference to the tunnel and
its construction:
1.-THE passage of pending tunnel bill
In Colorado Legislature is certainly of
the greatest Importance to Denver and
the entire state. Judging by many sur
veys made by, the Moffat road, 1t would
seem very unwise to limit the length of
proposed tunnel to five miles when
one approximately mile longer could
be located at the most advantageous
place considered from both an engin-
eering and financial point Of view. A
tunnel entering the Divide almost in
direct line from Tolland would avoid
possible competition from deeper
one, would materially shorten distance
and avoid climbing on maximum grade
winding line from Tolland to mouth
of five-mile tunnel. The state should
not hesitate at additional cost TO OBJ
tain safer and more far-reaching in
vestment.-John A. Porter"
The opponents of the tunnel have Sc
cured an amendment to the bill that
would defeat the purpose, requiring
the Moffat road interests to deposit Sc
curities with the state to guarantee
the tunnel bonds. And this in addition
to the provisions already in the meas
ure making the voad itself security for
the cost of construction.
With the recommendation that they
be placed before the committee OF the
whole for favorable consideration and
final passage. the bills making the
State Normal school at Greeley q
teachers college and providing for a
normal school training as a condition
to the granting of certificates by coun-
ty superintendent, were reported by
the Senate. committee on education
and educational institutions.
BY vote of twenty to fourteen, the
Senate ordered the hybrid bank guar.
antee law on the calendar for special
consideration. This bill is mixture
of Senator Gove's measure for a rigid
banking code and of Senator Crowley's
bill to enact the mutual bank guar
antee act of Texas. The measure was
reported favorably by the banking
committee three WethS dBO. w uen the
report was made. 1t was stated that a
motion would be made to strike from the
hybrid bill all of the Texas bank guar
antee features and to retain the Cove
provisions which seek to make bank
guarantee rest on sound banking OPP
erations.

OVER HUNDRED MILLION DOL.
LARS INVOLVED IN
SUIT.
CASE WILL Be DROPPED
GOVERNMENT HAS LITTLE HOPE
OF WINNING FUTURE
CASES.

Seattle.-The government lost Its
first Battle In the effort to punish the
alleged fraudulent locators of Alaska
coal lands.
Judge Cornelius II. Hanford, in the
United States District Court. in over
ruling the motion to instruct the jury
to acquit Charles f. Munday, E. e.
Siegley and Archie shiels. sustained
all the vital points contended for by
the defendants.
The ground on which the court re-
fused to grant the motion to acquit
was not raised by counsel for either
side in the suit. but by the judge him
self.
1t leaves the government SO little
room to stand ond that It is said to be
practically assured that the prosecu-
ton will be dropped.
The lands in question are the Eng
lish. or Sir Edward Stacey group.
They are the most valuable coal lands
in the world. being richer even than
the Cunningham claims. Estimates of
their value range from one hundred
million dollars to much larger sum.
The defendants, together with Alger-
non Straeey. brother of Sir Edward
Stracey, were indicted at Tacoma last
fall. charged with conspiracy to de-
fraud the government. Strategy re-
manned in Vancouver. b. c., and avoid
ed arrest. After the jury had been
completed counsel for the defense
rAr Inc TO he IN
acquit the defendants.
The argument of the attorneys for
the defense was based almost en-
tirely on the contention that the 1904
law applied to Alaska coal claims in
stead Of the general land law of 1878,
while the attorneys for the govern
ment insisted that the prohibitions of
the law of 1873 should be read into
the law Of 1904. Inasmuch as the
law OF 1904 in terms permits the as
signment of coal claims, the defend
ants counsel argued that 1t was not
Illegal for the defendants to agree to
assign their coal claims.
Furthermore, defendants counsel
contended that II 1t were legal for a
locator to assign his claim. 1t was
equally legal for any person to buy
as many of such assignments as he
could pay for, thus removing the very
foundation from the Indictment upon
which the defendants were indicted.
"A foreign corporation" said the
court. cannot lawfully acquire or
hold coal claim in Alaska, eithes
in its corporate name nor in the
name of any agent or trustee. There
fore. for the reason that the indict-
ment charges conspiracy to acquire
coal claims or proprietary rights to
coal claims in Alaska for a foreign
corporation. 1t must be sustained as
a valid Indictment and the objection
to the Introduction Of evidence must
be overruled.
THE court will, however, instruct
the jury that to justify a conviction
OF the defendants under it. the evil
dence must prove that the object of
the conspiracy. II any, must have
been to perpetrate fraud by secur-
ing coal claims or proprietary rights

MENr LOOKS FOR CONFLICT
WITH GERMANY.
TO AFFECT
EUROPE AND AMERICA
Declares That Canada Rejected Rsei-
procity in Order to Unity Empire
SO as to Confront Ensmy-Feresees
Declaration Of War by Germany
Within Six Years.

New York, Dec. 16.-John Norton
English parliament, believes that with
in the next six years England and
Germany will be at war and all of
Europe will feel the effects of the con-
flict. He made this prophecy without
qualification following his arrival in
New York from the Canadian north
west. In saying it he gave what he
believed to be Canada's refusal to ac-
cept reciprocity at the recent elections.
"The people of Canada" said Mr..
Griffiths, realized in their election that
a far graver problem than trade comfy
with the United States confronted
them and that the problem was the
unity to confront the menace Of war
which would soon threaten the exist
ence Of the modern nations.
Il believe there is no doubt" he con-
tinued. ''but that within six years,
may, be much sooner. England and
Germany will be at war and all Europe
will be shaken by the conflict. Yes, and
America too, for America could not
help feeling keenly the existence of SO
great a conflict as that assuredly will
be. Why do think this? Because the
whole German nation is seeking war
with us at every turn of the road, and
when a whole nation Is behind thing
like this there is no stopping 1t. The
bankers stopped war at the time Of the
recent crisis, but war was very near
and the bankers can not always stand
in the way of the whole people,"
