The decision Of the United States court in
michigan on highways, making permissive only
the right of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany TO place wires along the government
postal routes IL one Of signal importance, es-
pecially if sustained by the Supreme Cour.
The court holds that this permission is not suf-
hcient, but that the consent OF the state in
which the telegraph company desires to oper-
ate 10 required in addition. The most inter-
esting feature OF the decision, perhaps, Is that
which gives city the right to regulate the use
Of its highways By a telegraph company. This
right, which the court maintained, applies,
among other things, to the designation Of par
ticular streets on which the wires may be ex.
tended or to the exclusion of such wires
from particular streets. II this be good law
in Michigan and for the city Of Grand
Rapids il ought to be good law in
Washington and the District Of Columbia.
In Grand Rapids the telegraph company re-
sisted the cIty's demand to remove the wires
and secured an injunction, but this was dis
solved and the wires were at last taken down.
This is German Day. On the 9th of October,
1858, Pastorius and his first company Of land
owning settlers in America landed at Phila-
delphia. and soon thereafter established the
colony at Germantown Pennsylvania. Before
that there had been scattering settlements, and
at least one other important colony-that at
Charleston, South Carolina In 1914 about
sixty families went to the latter place, but they
merely made leases and did not settle in the
permanent sense OF the more northern colony
Hence the Pennsylvania date and not the
South Carolina was selected for the occasion.
So today the German-American citizens, con-
shutting a solid and valuable element in the
population of the republic. are celebrating
with the sports of the Fatherland the date
when Germans first became Americans.

W hat Does IL Mean?

To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, March 2O.-The very I'm
pleasant report is being spread tina
masked n en- have been seen in various
rarts of the city, to which stop ought to
be pnt by the county officers. Six mel with
long overcoats, plug lats and masked
faces, have been in the upper part Of the
town, four going up by Mr.. Johnsons
house and two coming down by the
"acequia Madre," meeting near Francis.o
Borepo's house, and speaking in whis-
pers. -Four also are often seen around
the river near Melton Castillo's house
What their Object is, is not known az yet
Last night friend of the writer was com
ing down Palace avenue with his wife,
and just rs he got to the unoccupied
rooms adjoining Gov. Princes residence,
I've SAW four masked men come out OF
there and move away.
lWould call attention OF the county Off
GERS to these matters it seems that tev

good order of the town. lie following
instance will prove what some of the off
GERS ~ill do: On Monday night follnwisg
the night that Fau-tin Ortiz disappeared,
very respectable citizen going home
from his work, met eight masked men,
having identified among them one of the
officers Of the police force and Two more
whose names do not remember, hut it
seems to me it WAS either one oil the police
or the county jai'or.
If The county officers do not put stop
to this nonsense, the citizens OF Santa Fe
ought to get together and find some
means of stopping them. A CITIZEN.
In reference to the above New MExI-
CAN scribe questioned Francisco Borrego
to-day Al he said it WAS all a mistake.
the report that masked men had been seen
about his premises. He thinks there is
no foundation whatever for the above, as
he is about all hours of the day and
night, and II such demonstrations 81
above described had occurred he feels
quite sure he would have some knowl-
edge OF them.

famine at Durango was prevented by the
arrival there Of sixty-seven car loads of
provisions. There was no actual danger
of starving, but many of the sO-called
necessaries were about exhausted and
much Inconvenience was felt. On Cum.
