In the Public Eye
ARMY COMMANDER RETIRES
"I huve fought much and long; now I shall retire to private life and live
In the glory of the past. But 1 shall always feel the deepest Interest in the
army, and my heart will be with It.'*
IS ONLY LIVING EX-SPEAKER
General Kelfer to the hardships of victory and the blessings of defeat In civil
as well as in military strife. The Spanish war again called him into military
action, and he was next heard of leading the victorious Americans Into the
captured Cuban capital.
After 20 years' absence General Kelfer returned to the scenes of his civil
triumphs and defeats, and now, at the age of seventy-five, this one surviving
major general of the Civil war resigns his chair in the house of representa
tives to his Democratic successor.

travel constantly; and thus he Is better known than the czar's other relatives.

other public utility upon it. He says his object la to make the road a monu
ment to the Du Pont family and also to Improve the state by assuring a
method of getting trolley lines and other Improvements down the peninsula.
A veteran of two wars and many
Indian skirmishes, a man of the
strong, vital traits that have made
heroes in life and literature, war
scarred, weather-beaten. Brig. Gen.
Charles L. Hodges has ended his serv
ice in the United States army. Gen.
Hodges, who succeeded Gen. Freder
ick Dent Grant as commander of the
department of the lakes, enlisted as
a private In 1861, and reluctantly for
sakes—the old svldier leaves his post
only because he must.
"I'm Just a plain soldier .nan," he
said, modestly, when asked to tell of
exploits of his career. "I have fought
in battles, many of them, but all sol
diers do that.”
The veteran stroked his gray mus
tache, smiled good humoredly, and his
visitors thought of him in his younger
years as the picturesque type of sol
dier described by Kipling as a “fust
class flghtin' man."
One of the notable events at the
passing of the Sixty-first congress was
the retirement from active political
life of one of the country's best
known statesmen, Gen. Joseph War
ren Kelfer of Ohio, whose political
career has extended throughout many
years. General Keifer holds the
unique position today of being the
only living ex-speaker of the house of
representatives. He held this Im
portant place in the Forty-seventh
congress, and since the death of John
G. Carlisle this honor has been his
alone.
General Kelfer took part in the very
first skirmishes of the Civil war.\nd
when General Lee laid down his arms
at Appomattox the commander of the
One Hundred and Tenth Ohio volun
teer infantry was there to witness
that memorable event.

later '7o's and 'Bo's, served to Inure
The most popular member of the
Romanoff family of Russia Is the
Grand Duke Constantine Constantino
vltch, cousin of the czar, who beside
holding the Important post of inspec
tor of military schools of the empire.
Is a playwright, an actor and a poet.
Better perhaps than all of these, he Is
a man of good morals and exalted
ideals.
The grand duke has translated
Shakespeare Into Russian, has writ
ten several plays and acted them and
has published some valuable critical
studies of new Russian poets. It Is
as a poet that he Is best known. One
of his works has gone through ten
editions and his songs are sung In
every peasant cabin. Two of his songs
are rendered at every Russian con
cert and many have been set to music.
Apart from his merits as a poet,
the grand duke Is an attractive per
sonality. He Is about the only living
Romanoff of whom the average Rus-
Gen. T. Coleman Du Pont Is going to
build at his own expense the first
link in the great highway from New
York to Washington. A boulevard is
an unusual form for a wealthy man’s
public gifts to take. Delaware is the
state which is to be made the bene
ficiary of such a gift Gen. Du PopL
has offered to give to that state a
highway, running from end to end of
the commonwealth, a distance of 103
miles. It is to be 150 feet wide and
will cost from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.
In his offer of the highway Con.
Du Pont stipulated that he would re
tain the sides of the road and re
quested public utilities franchises up
on them. This feature of his offer
came In for much criticism and led
Mr. Du Pont to modify It consider
ably. He now offers to build the
road, retain the sections on the side,
but turn them over free of charge to
any concern which will obligate Itself
to build an electric railway line or

COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE
DOINGS
Priority Measure Passes.
After a prolonged debate the Sen
ate, by a vote of twenty-two to thir
teen, passed on third reading the Car
penter bill with the Parrish amend
ment, which places reservoir rights on
the rule of priority and repeals that
provision of the. act of 1901 prohibit
ing the owners of reservoirs from im
pounding any water from the nutural
streams when it is required in ditches
for direct irrigation. The amendment
bill will now go to the House for final
enactment or rejection.
Senators Cross, Stephan, Tobin and
Crowley, who have waged vigorous op
position to the bill and its amendment,
declare that, if the bill is enacted by
the House, petitions to invoke the ref
erendum will be circulated and filed
with the secretary of state within
ninety days of adjournment of the
Legislature.
Throughout the debate, which virtu
ally covered the entire domain of Ir
rigation Jurisprudence, the supporters
of the amended Carpenter bill laid
stress upon the claim that the act of
1901 is unconstitutional in that it sub
ordinates senior reservoir appropria
tions to Junior ditch appropriations:
while the opponents of the measure
waged their fight against its passage
from the viewpoint that, if enacted,
It will place the future agricultural de
velopment of the state under the con
trol of the reservoir companies, will
greatly assist the government in Its
assertion of title to water In this state
for use in reclamation projects In oth
er states and that the water from the
natural streams of Colorado can be ap
propriated for agricultural purposes,
impounded In reservoirs and used for
the generation and salo of power.
The Legislative committee that Is
investigating the charges made against
Judge Greeley W. Whitford by the
State Federation of I*abor spent one
day In reviewing the tesitmony given
by the sixteen coal miners in the con
tempt proceedings which terminated in
their being sentenced to jail for a term
of one year.
The search and seizure bill intro
duced by Representative Ardourel of
Boulder and advocated by tho Prohibi
tion people of the state, was defeated
by a vote of twenty-nine to twenty-six
In the House. This bill, which gave
the same rights to officers to search for
and seize liquor in dry territory that is
given in seizing gambling devices, was
held up by the temperance committee
until a report was demanded by mem
bers of tho House.
The Moffat Tunnel.
Senaror Gove is in receipt of the
following telegram from John A. Por
ter of Denver, who is on tho Pacific
coast in reference to the tunnel and
Its construction:
"The passage of pending tunnel bill
In Colorado Legislature is certainly of
the greatest importance to Denver and
the entire state. Judging by many sur
veys made by the Moffat road. It would
seem very unwise to limit the length of
proposed tunnel to five miles when
one approximately a mile longer could
be located at the most advantageous
place considered from both an engin
eering and financial point of view. A
tunnel entering the Divide almost in
a direct line from Tolland would avoid
possible competition from a deeper
one, would materially shorten distance
and avoid climbing on maximum grade
a winding line from Tolland to mouth
of a five-mile tunnel. The state should
not hesitate at additional cost to ob
tain a safer and more far-reaching in
vestment.—John A. Porter.**
The opponents of the tunnel have se
cured an amendment to the bill that
would defeat the purpose, requiring
the Moffat road interests to deposit se
curities with tho state to guarantee
the tunnel bonds. And this in addition
to the provisions already In the meas
ure making the *>ad Itself security for
the cost of construction.
With the recommendation that they
be placed before the committee of the
whole for favorable consideration and
final passage, the bills making the
State Normal school at Greeley a
teachers’ college and providing for a
normal school training as a condition
to the granting of certifictes by coun
ty superintendents, were reported by
the Senate committee on education
and educational institutions.
By a vote of twenty to fourteen, the
Senate ordered tho hybrid bank guar
antee law on the calendar for special
consideration. This bill is a mixture
of Senator Gove’s measure for a rigid
banking code and of Senator Crowley’s
bill to enact the mutual bank guar
antee act of Texas. The measure was
reported favorably by the banking
committee three weeks ago. When the
report was made, it was stated that a
motion would be made to strike from the
hybrid bill all of the Texas bank guar
antee features and to retain the Gove
provisions which seek to make bank
guarantee rest on sound banking op
erations.
