Sentinel Specia, ecrvice.
Denver. Feb. State Treasurer
NJ. a. Leddy declares that he is more
than anxious for State Land Board
President Hoggatt to bring an injunc-
ton against him to determine who
is right in the matter of lending the
state school funds to counties for
the purchase of irrigation bonds.
Leddy holds that he Is clearly with
in the scope OF the law in refusing to
permit the state land board head to
loan this money to farmers. On the
other hand Hoggatt declares that
Leddy is wrong and that he himself
is right. Some time ago Injunction
papers were drawn up and ready to
be filed against Leddy. but for some
reason not made public they were
never served. Whether they ever will
be remains to be seen, but this ac-
ton must be taken by next Saturday
or else there will be nothing doing,
so far as Leddy is concerned. On
that day the state treasurer will leave
the state for an indefinite stay In
New Orleans, where he has been or
dered by his physician to go for the
benefit of his health, which has not
been good for some time.
Treasurer Leddy says that he is
anxious to have this matter definite
ly settled and court action to de-
eide 1t is courted by him. In fact,
he has written the state registrar
advising him that he tLeddy) intend
ed to be out OF Denver after next
Saturday, and that II he wanted to
mandamus him It would have to be
done before that date.
Leddy continues to hold the same
idea as to the illegality of Hoggatt's
plan to loan the state school money
to farmers. He maintains that such
thing cannot be legally done and
that the law authorizing it is uncon-
stitutional and would never be held
good law by any court of the land.
For this reason the treasurer is
anxious to have the matter carried in
to court and settled for all time to
come. He says he has no fears but
that his contention will be sustained
If court decision is finally had in
the case.

Arrangements Made For Coro-

Toxic, Feb. with the appoint
ment of coronation commission.
plans are now well underway for the
"grandest ceremony in the history of
Japan" next autumn when the En-
peror Yoshihito will be crowned the
ruler of the japanese empire. The
date has been tentatively fixed for
the early part of November. The
festivities. which will be under the
general supervision of Prince Fush-
imi as chief of the coronation COM
mittee, will continue over several
days. including the Daishosai or feast
after the coronation rites have been
observed.
The scene Of the ceremonies will be
in the sacred, ancestral halls OF the
Shishenden, located in the compound
OF the former Imperial Palace of XII
cto, the ancient capital of the en-
pire. Coincident with the coronation
a big naval review will be held eth
er in Osaka Bay, off Kobe. or in To-
hio Bay. near Yokohama. The city
of Kioto will also open an Industrial
exhibition to continue for a month.
In view of the large number OF
visitors expected measures are be-
ing considered for improvement of
the sanitary conditions of Kioto. in
Guiding widening OF the streets and
reconstruction of hotel accommoda-
tions. The municipality will set an
example by building large hotel to
accommodate foreigners. The police
arrangements will also be extended.
A military ball Will PROBABLY be
held in Toxic in connection with the
ceremonies. The whole japanese
people are looking forward TO the
November festivities, expecting that
they will inaugurate an era OF good
business.
1t is doubtful that any foreign
countries will dispatch special ENJOYS
TO the coronation, since the accom-
modations for official guests at XII
otto will be limited, but the represen-
tatives of the powers regularly ac-
credited to Japan will attend.
The emperor's popularity has re-
Gently been attested by some thirty
thousand poems written by his sub
iects and dedicated to his majesty. II
was one of the features of the new
year celebration, the contest being
regarded as a medium through which
the emperor might learn the needs
of his people.
This is how the competition was
conducted, under the auspices of the
emperor himself: The poems were
sent to the department of household
which first saw to the disinfectior
of the manuscripts. This precautior
having been taken. the verses wer,
packed in bundles and passed on Il
the poetry bureau. Recording Off
Gals made copies and had then
bound in three hundred volumes
each volume containing one hundred
poems. The selection committee re-
viewed this great stack of books, and
selected two hundred of the best eff
forts, and these were again copied
for an edition de luxe. To make the
final selection most fair. the names
of the composers were omitted. AT
ter careful perusal of the selected
gems the authors of the best verses
were invited to read them in the pres
ence of his majesty on the day of the
imperial poetry party.

A crowded house greeted the week 8
bill at the Lyric last night with real APP
probation. AS usual the merits of the
bill did not depend by any means upon
any one or two acts. Master Gabriel,
the wonderful midget who created many
of the famous child roles of the stage,
probably drew first honors in a little
skit entitled Little Kick" Gabriel is
a young man who passed his voting age
many years ago. yet he passes on the
stage for a child of about seven years
and does 1t in a. way that only those who
see him can appreciate his art.
Pathe's weekly news service opened
the bill, followed by Lohse and Sterling
in some fast and furious athletic per-
formances that took very well. VIII
Rawls and Ella Won Kaufman presented
minstrel comedy called Willing
Worker In one part of the act a black
face makeup appears on the stage In a
vocal duet with a white woman.
The Berrens in a musical comery act
bid for the high honors of the bill Both
are talented musicians, one on the piano
and the other on the violin. There is a
surprise in the act, however. that equals
probably anything of its kind ever seen
here. Juliet is billed on the programme
with a question mark after her name.
Why does not appear. but there can be
no question as to the ability of her char
acter studies. which In this day and age
have to be of the highest class or fail.
Juliet did not fail.
Mae Melville and Robert Higgins gave
an amusing portrayal of rube life. They
kept the audience in an uproar. Pointers

appointed wives. MALTA and Bart closed

Now that the strain of the 5. l. A. A.
football season Is over the Alabama
players have relaxed in their work and
are doing only enough to insure good
physical condition for the Carlisle In

the game, but befope its conclusion the

seen the most energetic encounter of the
year.
Several years ago Alabama played the
Haskell Indians on the campus, beating
them to s. The game was fiercely
fought and much unpleasantness arose.
Bad weather since Thanksgiving has
interfered with consistent work ond the
players have consequently been allowed
to ease up since they have been steadily
hammered upon since the middle of Sep

JUDGMENT LAW INVALID


and Broughton, but Judge H. t. Toul-
mir sustained demurrers of the de-
PENDANTS who were represented by the
states attorneys. The government APP
pealed on the contention that the state
law legalized peonage in violation of
the equal rights of men granted by the
constitution of the United States.
Arguments in the case were heard
by the United States supreme cours
several weeks ago, Attorney General
Robert c. Brickell and Assistant Attor-
ney General William l. Martin appear
ing for the state.
Until a copy of the courts decision
is received in Montgomery, attorneys
will be unable to determine the effects
of the courts decree. However, the de
cision probably affects every county in
Alabama. as citizens in all parts of the
state have been paying fines and COM
pelling convicts to work on their plan
tations and in other capacities.
Regarding the disposition of the
cares against Reynolds and Broughton
it is believed that attorneys will reach
some agreement in the matter. The
cases were remanded by the supreme
court for new trials.

Needs of the NAVY

Washington. November 30.-The need
of 240 additional officers and about
1900 men to equip American warships
was explained today TO the House
naval affairs committee by Rear Ad-
miral Blue, chief of the navigation bu-
reau 'of the navy department Admiral
Blue told the navy's needs In connec-
ton with the naval appropriation bill
being shaped by the committee.
Referring to the fact that the de-
partment still was purchasing hydro
graphic charts from the British gov
ernment, the admiral said the United
States was issuing more and more
charts each year and that ultimately
charting by the United States would
be as complete as that of any other
nation
Rear Admiral Stanford, chief of the
bureau of yards and docks, recon-
mended a 100000 estimate for new
dry dock at Norfolk, Va. He also urged
the necessity of appropriations for ad :
ditional fuel oil storage tanks at Nor
folk and at other stations. Ships of the
navy under construction will use fuel
oil and it Is estimated that this year
100000 gallons will be used
The estimates of the navy exceed
last years total of $145,000.G00 by
about 100000.
