KILLS BILL
DEADLOCK OVER APPROPRIATION
IN LEGISLATURE.
Senate, Refuses to Yield to House
Plan on Short Appropriation
Measure.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Gloomy prospects and a
financial drought developed for state
employees when 1t became probable
that the short appropriation bill will
never be passed by the General AS
sembly and that the deadlock Of the
House and Senate over the measure
may never be unlocked. In a party
conference Republican members of
the State Senate agreed that they will
not approve the short bill unless all
the extra appropriations for the attor-
ney generals office put in 1t by the
House are absolutely stricken out as
the Senate finance committee recon-
mended. This means that the House
must recede completely from its de-
mands on behalf Of the attorney gen.
eral, demands which senators, both
Democratic and Republican, regard as
purely ones for extra political patron
age. That the House will not humili-
ate itself by complete backdown,
which would be confession ofSweak-
ness, is taken for granted by men,
bers of the Assembly.
mus MISS Clara Ruth MOzzOr, con-
cerning whose appointment and sal
ary. the controversy started, may not
get her salary as either third or fourth
assistant attorney general, and all
other state officials and employees may
have to go moneyless until the long
appropriation bill is passed toward the
end of the Assembly. A broke sea-
son for three or four months for en-
ployes and officials appears certain.
Senators point out that the House
forgot to insert the salaries for all
district judges and their court clerks
in the short measure, amounting to
$4,000 for the period until April /,
covered by the bill, and that the
House also forgot an appropriation of
$1,100 for enforcement Of prohibition
by special officers working under the
governor They take the position that
since the Senate is willing to make all
other changes desired by the House,
except the addition of the attorney
generals items, the House should
show spirit of compromise by elm
mating the attorney generals lex.
tras." OF this the Senate is adamant.

STARTLING FORECAST MADE BY
NEW YORK BROKERAGE
HOUSE.
PROBE MAY Be HALTED
THE MESSAGES TO NEW YORK
HAVE BEEN LOST IN REPORT

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York.-To the amazement of
everyone concerned, the congressional
committee investigating the peace
note leak" uncovered a telegram put
out by brokerage house on the day
before the note was publicly an.
nounced, predicting with startling ao-
curacy the exact nature of the note.
The brokerage house which issued
this forecast was E. F. Hutton & Co.
The head of the firm, under close
questioning, admitted that his Wash
ington correspondent is F. A. Connel-
ly & Co. A partner in this firm is
B. F. Boiling, brother-in-law to Pres
ident Wilson. The committee from
Congress was a little more startled
than anyone else, and after complet-
ing the days examination of Mr.. Hut
ton went into executive session. It re-
mains to be seen how much further
the committee will go in it's search.
There is no physical difficulty in the
way of carrying through the investi-
cation with a rush, for Connolly has
been subpoenaed already.
The messages sent to New York
have been '1ost." The committee is
reported to be divided in its attitude.
Among the minority members there is
a joyous enthusiasm to go ahead with
the hunt, which now is far more prom
Using than it was this noon. The Ques-
tion is about the willingness of the
majority members to push ahead.

Omaha.-During the year 1917 the
Union Pacific Railroad Company will
expend for improvements more, than
$23,O00,000 in the states through
which its lines run, and of this sum
$1,S25.00O will be spent in Colorado
and $2,S30,000 in Wyoming. This is
the largest Improvement program the
Union Pacific has put out in any one
year for a long time, probably since

of the system.

In the meantime, although our neutral rights were not brought into question by Germany as early as by England. the Ger man controversy was infinitely more serious.
 For any dissensions that might arise, no arbitration treaty ex- isted between the United States and the German Government. This was from no fault of ours. We had tried to establish with Germany the same treaty rela- tions we had with Great Britian and 19 other nations. But these overtures had been rejected. And this action on the part of the Imperial German Govern ment was only one example of it's whole system of diplomacy. In both conferences at The Hague it had been the German dele- gates who were the most active 1 in blocking all projects for the pacific settlement of disputes be. tween nations. They had pre- ferred to limit international re- lations to the old modes of aiplo- macy and war. It was therefore obvious from the first that any ! controversy with the German Government would be exceeding y serious; for if it could not be solved by direct diplomatic con versations, there was no re- course except to war
 From such conversations there is small hope of satisfactory re- suits unless the good faith of both sides is profound. If either side lacks good faith, or reveals in all it's actions an insidious hos tility, diplomacy is of no avail. And so it has proved in the pres. ent case.
