called, upon application of the de-
tense, soon after IL O'Clock this
morning. So far 80 men have been
called, IS of whom were challenged

but the defense was not. The addi-
tonal venire of so is ordered to re-
port at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
Both the defense and the state have
plenty of challenges left, so that

STATE IS
LOSER BY
DECISION
Secretary of State
Pearce Fails in an
Attempt to Collect
Back Fees.

Denver, Feb. Hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in fees were
lost to the state yesterday when Dis
trict Judge George W. Allen issued
a pre-emptory writ Of mandamus di-
recting State Secretary James b.
Pearce to accept the 1912 report of
the Central Realty company, which,
with the IS fee. he had refused to
file when 1t was rendered to him on
February l.
Pearce refused to accept the re-
port and fee until the company filed
all it's back reports and paid his Of
flee IS for each report since the law
of 1901 was passed. Hundreds OF
corporations are delinquent in their
reports, and II Pearce had been up
held in his stand it would have
meant the turning of tens of thous-
ands of dollars in fees into the state
treasury.
The Central Realty company, by
Ernest Morris, its secretary and at
torney. brought the mandamus pro
ceedings as test case, as Secretary
Pearce did not wish to accept its
1912 report without a court order in
view of the fact that it was delin-
Quent IN ltS reports.
The law of 1901 was repealed by
the last legislature, and another was
passed, under which the president
and secretary of each corporation
which fails to file its annual report
are liable to a fine of not less than
$1,000. Secretary Pearce will not
appeal from the order made by
Judge Allen yesterday, since he only
wished an order of the court as
guide for his actions. He is accept
ing all 1912 reports rendered to
him, providing the corporations are
not delinquent in their fiat taxes.
Pearce says that the looseness of the
laws during the last ten years has
cost the state 81 100000.
