WHOLESALE COLONIZATION
OF New Mexican Lands Along the
A. p. Road
Half Million Acres Of Land to Be Pro-
vided Free Of Cost to Ar
menian Settlers
Associated Press. Special Wire

Associated Press. Special Wire
DENVER, Col, Jan. IA special to the
Republican from Santa Fe, N. NJ, says:
Amado Chavez, territorial superintend-
ent of public instruction, today addressed
letter to Edward E. Cragin, chairman of
the Chicago executive committee to aid the
ArLnenians, thanking him for his sugges-
ton of colonizing these people in New
Mexico, and offering to supply the neces-
sary land free of cost. Mr., Chavez con-
ton of the Armenian problem that has
yet been advanced. He has looked
into the character of the Armeni-
ans and regards them as a very
desirable class of settlers. In western
Valencia county along the line of the At
lantic & Pacific road, Mr.. Chavez has cx-
tensive landed interests and he proposes
to place it at the disposal of the Chicago
Armenian Relief association free of cost
all the land they may desire to colonze up
to 100000 acres. Or if the committee
deems best to locate the colonists on public
lands, Mr.. Chavez offers his services to en-
able the people to secure such locations.
UNITED STATES CRUISERS
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE continued
reports of the assembling of large United
States fleet in,,Turkish waters is discredited
by those in a position to know. At the
navy department it is pointed out that the
fleet is simply there to give moral effect
to such urgent demands on Turkey as
the government might determine
upon The American fleet is
said to equal that of any of the
European powers, although their interests
in Turkey are far more important than
those of United States. Admiral Bunce' s
squadron lies off Hampton Roads appar-
t. xI,t
pairs to the Maine might occasion some
delay in case of a movement, but the adj
miral telegraphs that the Maine can now
proceed to sea.

Citizenship Does Not Abrogate Stipulations
of Treaties
OMAHA, Neb., Jan 7.-Judge Shiras of
Iowa in the federal court at Omaha today
rendered decision declaring that in cases
where Indians have become citizens with
all the accompanying privileges, the gov
erRment is still bound by treaty stpuJa-
tions existing while tribal relations were
sustained. He holds that it applies on all
reservations and is wide in scope.
The decision was rendered in the Flour
noy Land company's appeal, wherein they
ask to have it's claims to Indian lands sus-
tanned. The court declares: The fact
that the Indian allottees are declared citi-
zens of the United States does not render
void as to them or as to remaining portions
of the tribes the restrictions upon the
rights of alienation contained in the sew
eral acts of congress under which allot-
ments of severalty have been made, and
declares the leases of the defendants
wholly void and that the obligation applies
to all Indian reservations.

MORRILL, FOR STATE SALOONS.

Last Fridays Kansas City Times contained
the report of an interview with Governor Nor
rll, i'll which he repeated his statement that
the prohibitory law cannot be enforced where
local sentiment is against it. He said he be-
lieves the proper way to handle the liquor
question is for the state to control the manu-
facture and sale of liquors, according to the
Gothenburg system or the South Carolina dis
pensary plan. He said he had made the ques-
ton a close study for two years, and had arrived
at that conclusion.
ST. JOHN SKINS MORRILL,
Unfortunately for Morrill,, Ex-Governor ST.
John was i'll Topeka when the papers came out
containing the interview. Previously, it had
been announced that St. John would speak at
the court house, Friday evening, but when the
interview came out he expressed desire to
puncture the thing full of holes, and it became
necessary to change the place of meeting as
the court house would not hold the crowd that
engaged for the meeting, and the hall was
crowded to hear the "grand old man. score
the 6sh-worn governor-and this in the CAPT
tai city, where St. John was hung i'll effigy!
We wish we could publish the speech-it
was rch-but our limited space forbids How
ever, we will say that he had his audience with
him on the question, as was expr> ssed in res
oluton at the close of the meeting
The next day, Morrill, did the baby act
crawfshed-tried to wiggle opt of it by saying
lie did not intend for the reporter to publish
what he said, notwithstanding the fact that the
reporter wrote it down in Morrill's presence.

And it's the man who does the best
That gifts more kicks than all the rest
