Quarrel Still on over Militia Pay.

Denver. - State Auditor Kenehan
several weeks ago held up militia pay
checks for three months of service
pending decision as to whether the
claims should be paid from the pro-
ceeds of the insurrection bond issue or
from the general military fund. At
torney General Farrar has made a
partial ruling to the effect that men
wounded in action or who had con-
tracted sickness while in field service
in the coal strike campaign should be
paid. This leaves the claims of Gen.
John Chase and long list of subordi-
mates employed at headquarters still
unadjudicated. The list of sick and
wounded includes seven on sick roll
and six who were wounded in action.
OF the wounded one lost an eye,
another an arm and a third a leg.
Farrar also allowed the pay of Capt.
Louis H. Schultz, medical officer, for
three months, amounting to S5S6.66.
The claim of Maj. w. A. Jolly, also of
the medical corps, for $66.66 for at
tending the sick and wounded in June
is allowed. The enlisted men, sick
and wounded, draw an average of $50,
or pay at the rate of 81 day.

DISPUTE HOLDS UP PAY
UTILITIES COMMISSION coNTRo.
VERSY TAKEN TO COURT.
Attorney General Farrar Rendered
Opinion That Employees Do Not
Come Under Civil Service.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-As the result of dispute
between the Public Utilities Commits
sion and the Civil Service Commission
as to whether or not the employees of
the Utilities Commission are in the
classified service State Auditor Roady
Kenehan has held up the pay of the
employees since the commission came
into being in August. The utilities
commission plans to mandamus Kene-
han to settle the question in the
courts. AS the case will undoubtedly
be taken to the State Supreme Court,
the four employees affected will go for
some months without their salaries.
The law creating the public utilities
provided that the commission shall
appoint its employees at its pleasure,
which would remove them from the
classified service. Also the statute
was passed after the civil service law,
and upon this point the commission
makes the contention that the en-
ployes of the board do not come under
civil service.
The Civil Service Commission holds
the position that it was not the inten-
ton of the Legislature in passing the
Public Utilities Commission law to
take the employees of the commission
from the classified service. If the
Legislature did, the Civil Service Com
mission claims, every state employee
can be taken from the classified serv-
ice in time by later statutes.
Th attorney generals office rem
dered an opinion to Kenehan that the
employees of the utilities commission
do not come under civil service while
the Civil Service Commission rem
dered one exactly opposite to the audi
tor.
Should the decision of the Supreme
Court be in favor of the utilities COM
mission, the powers of the civil serv-
ice Commission may in time decrease
until they no longer exist.

BORDER PATROL ALERT.
Troops Lined Up to Kill Intruders at
Naco


Naco, Sonora, Oct .-Beleaugered
Naco and it's Villa attackers under
Governor Maytorena have drawn the
United States border patrol into more
active service.
Repeated attempts of unneutral acts
by both sides caused Colonel Guilfoyle,
the American commander, to prepare
for action. The International boun-
dary was marked today with Ameri-
can flags and protecting outposts were
placed where the two armies could be
watched.
Today, the fifth of the ostensible
siege, saw the first effective gun fire,
Maytorena's five-inch field pieces
throwing three shells into the town.
The postoffice and residence were
damaged. The piece is reported to be
handled by a German artilleryman, a
Captain Maplow.
Hill continues to receive supplies
and ammunition, and he has mounted
fourteen machine guns. Their fire,
however, is ineffective.

clFIc ISLANDS ONLY TEN
PoRARY.
STATEMENT ACCEPTED
INFORMATION GIVEN VOLUNTAR-
lily BY JAP EMBASSY, AND
TENSION RELIEVED.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


Washington, Oct. T. Secretary
Bryan has been officially informed
that the occupation by the Japanese
naval forces of the German Pacific
islands is only temporary and solely
for military purposes.
The assurance came today from the
Japanese foreign office through Am
bassador Guthrie and also from the
Japanese embassy in Washington.
1t is believed the declaration from
the Japanese government of its inten-
tions regarding the islands seized was
made voluntarily. State Department
officials said yesterday no inquiries
had been made by the United States
on the subject.
1t was believed here tonight that
this government had accepted the
statement from Toxic as sufficient
guarantee that, the situation in the
Far East would not be altered in any
way inimical to it's interests.
1t was reiterated at the Japanese
embassy tonight that the necessity of
protecting commerce in the Pacific
from the German cruisers eluding pur-
suit in those waters, had prompted the
seizures. Japanese and British fleets,
in according with a common under
standing, it was said, had been acting
together in all movements of the Jap
anese fleet.
