YESTERDAY AFTERNOONS SESSION.
At the beginning of the session, Mr..
Bunker presented his long expected re-
port as to the observations of the major
ity of the committee appointed to visit
the Las Cruces Agricultural college.
The report is most thorough one and
shows that in the preparatory depart
ment IF the college ninety-fve students
are enrolled. Typewriting, telegraphy,
bookkeeping, penmanship and other
practical subjects are among the branches
taught. The institution has nine pro-
fessors, five instructors and three assist
aggregating $4,000. 1t is stated that
more natives attend this institution than
any other in the territory. The total
receipts of the college from all sources
from December IA, 1889, to February 16,
1895, are stated to have been $235,257.57,
while the total expenditures have been
$205, 341.95, leaving cash on hand to the
amount of $29,9l6.62, which ia on deposit
IN the First National bank of Santa Fe,
the State National bank of Ell Paso and
Fl. D. Bowman's bank in Las Cruces.
The report charges that Mr.. Perea, the
minority member of the committee, alb
scented himself when this examination
was being conducted. 1t further states
that all amounts due by the late treasurer,
Mr.. Rynerson, had been paid in full. 1t
goes on to say that prior to the appoint
ment of Thomas j. Bull and Demetrio
Chaves, as regents, the institution was
used, when possible, for the benefit of
certain politicians. While under con-
struction over sixty employees were
threatened with discharge unless they
voted the Republican ticket and "the
predecessor of the present president of
the institution was active two years since
in political work among the students and
Others"
The report states that Treasurer Deme-
trio Chaves' present bond of $4,000 is
exceptionally good, but recommends it's
increase to $4,000.
The report is highly complimentary to
President McRae and calls attention to
the urgent need for increased building
capacity.
Mr.. Bunker offered a supplementary
report setting forth the statement that
while the Independent Democrat had re-
ceived $1,000 for printing, the Rio
Grande Republican had during about the
same period received $4,000. The stock
holders of the latter paper are set forth
in the report, among them Prof. Hiram
Hadley, Prof. McRea's predecessor and
Councilman Hadley's father.
As soon as the report had been re-
ceived, Mr.. Hadley secured the floor on
the question of personal privilege. He
said:
Gas the only son of my father it might
be expected that should say few
words in answer to the miserable crea-
lures who prepared that report. l have,
however, but little to say in the matter.
l allow my fathers record of over forty
years of untarnished honor as an author
and teacher to speak for itself. Any
thing that 1 might say would add but
little to the lustre of that record. If he
were here, with his gray hairs, would
not stoop to notice the matter. In his
absence, however, desire to say that
there is not word of truth in the charge
that he used the presidency of Che Las
Cruces college for political purposes.
Ny father is no politician, neither is he
skilled in the ways of the politician.
Had he been he would never have been
succeeded by man of the stamp borne by
the present incumbent. I am quite sure
that the statement about his owning the
newspaper stock is lie and desire to say
that am ready at any time either here or
elsewhere to resent any aspersions cast
upon my fathers name and honor"
Mr.. Larragoite, one of the committee,
stated that SO far as he was concerned
there was no intention of casting re-
Election upon the character of Mr.. Had
ley's father, gentleman whom he had
not the honor of knowing. Mr.. LARA
goite disclaimed any knowledge of or
connection with the supplementary re-
port.
Mr.. Bunker also said that there was no
intention to cast any reflection upon
Prof. Hadley and protfered figures tend
ing to support the statements of the
Elementary majority report.
Mr.. Perea suggested that the latter re-
port was not the report of the committee,
Mr.. Larragoite not having Joined in it.
Mr.. Bunker explained that this last re-
port was simply an answer to Mr.. Perea's
report which had charged certain things
as to the amounts expended in print
ing.
Mr.. Ancheta said that he would say
nothing as to the motive for delaying
the report to the closing moments of the
session. He charged that the only OBJ
ject of the supplementary majority re-
port was to besmirch the character of a
good citizen. He therefore moved the
tabling of that report.
Mr.. Hadley explained that he had no
OBJ Election to the supplementary report,
but he did object to the statement that
his father had been active in political
work.
The supplementary report was there
upon tabled by vote of 8 to 3.
Mr.. Ancheta moved to strike out in the
majority report all reference to Profess
sor Hadley, charging him with political
work.
Mr.. Bunker agreed with this sentiment
and by unanimous consent the objec-
tionable three lines were eliminated.
Mr.. Hadley acknowledged this action
on the part of the council with the state
ment that with US thick-skinned and
hard-hearted politicians, the offense
charged Is no crime, but my father is no
politician"
The majority report and Mr.. Perea's
presented several days ago we're
both received an6 entered on the council
journal.
The council next took up the question
of relief for the courts.
