UTILITIES COMMISSION
REFUSES TO TAKE CASE

Denver. Colo. Dec. 3o.-The state
public utilities commission today re-
fused to assume Jurisdiction in the
case OF Denver. Boulder and Western
Railroad company which was dis =
mantled about a year ago, shortly be-
foro the state supreme court ordered
the owners of the road to resume
train service. Officials of the late road.
which was also known as the Switz-
crland trail. appealed to the commits
sion today To grant a petition author
izing the junklng OF the road but the
commission refused.
Such a petition was granted by the
commission two years ago. This was
later reversed by the supreme court
and the owners OF the road were ord
cred TO resume operations. While the
suit was pending in the courts tho
road was dismantleI.
Portions of the equipment were
shipped to South America. Japan and
China. The next move Is expected to
be made by the supreme court.
In legal circles today the situation
was said to be unique and question
as to whether the road officials were
liable to contempt OF court was sub
jcct OF speculation.

convicted in Michigan and sentenced
to two years in the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta, he remained away from
the senate chambers until the United

was convicted to be unconstitutional.
He then resumed his seat In the
senate. but whenever his case has
been under discussion in that body or
In the committee rooms he has been
absent. Democratic senators at one
time made a formal proposal that he
be officially invited to appear.
It has been agreed by the senate that
the final vote on Mr.. Newberry shall

as certain that Mr.. Newberry would
absent himself from the chamber until
this vote had been had. Now he Is
