Government Posts To Be Given Little

Conflicting newspaper reports have

TO SHOW UP THE PROFITEERS.

The Senate passed the resolution
submitted by Senator Borah of Idaho,
asking the secretary of the treasury
for all available evidence regarding
the profiteers the President referred
to in his recent speech in Congress,
on the revenue bill.
An amendment, which Senator Bo-

Simmons of the Senate finance COM
mittee, was adopted, asking the secre-
tary for the names and incomes of all
corporations earning more than Is per
cent on their capital stock during
1917, as well as their net earnings for
1916. These figures will show up the
profiteers, and give basis for work

the c. F. & I. Company.
Refused Investigation
Photographs of checks held up by
Moran to substantiate his accusation
were for 5000 each, alleged to be
signed by j. F. Welborn, president Of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
Moran refused TO permit delegates 70
possess said checks for inspection and
declined to turn them over 20 the con-
vention as a part of the official records,
after having exhibited and read same
in regular session
$4,000 Damage Suit.
II was the crudest piece Of work
ever perpetrated and branded Moran
and his crew as dastards of the worst
type. OF course the convention voted
TO seat Houston, and similar protests
filed against Lawson and Doyle took
the same course.
Thru the law firm of Rim and Arch
ibald Of Boulder, Houston Immediately
instituted civil suit against Moran,
demanding damages in the sum of
$4,000. The attorneys for plaintiff
asked an order from the district court
OF Boulder county that Moran bring
his forged letters and checks into
court for inspection. Judge Strong
issued the order. Then Moran's at
torneys asked for n new trial on the
order. Judge Strong again ruled in
favor of Plaintiff Houston. Moran's
attorneys then appealed to the state
supreme court for n reversal Of Judge
Strong's order.
Criminal Action May Come.
This appeal was dismissed last week.
Hence Moran must comply with Judge
Strong's order or be in contempt of
court. The mere fact that Moran
fights SO vigorously against produc-
ing the letters and checks is confess
sion Of their spurious character. When
the forged letters and checks are pro-
duccd, Moran lays himself open to
criminal prosecution in addition to the
civil suit now pending for $4,000
damages.
