CURTIS OPPOSED 1T
While Brodericlx and Simpson Favor
ed the Federal Division Bill

Congressman Broderick and Simpson
supported while Congressman Curtis
opposed, before the house committee
on judiciary Monday afternoon, the bill
which provides for the division of the
state into two federal districts. The
bill has not been reported.
Mr.. Frederick argued that the bust
ness of the Kansas district has been in
bad shape for nearly eight years, and
presented figures showing the extra eX-
pense to which the government had
been put for additional judges who had
been called in from other districts to
hold court. The present system in
Kansas, he said, was necessarily expen-
sive both to the government and to lit
igants, as witnesses frequently Travelled
a hundred miles to appear in cases
which were postponed, thereby entail
ing additional outlay in the way OF
travelling and other expenses. The
government was compelled to pay these
expenses in criminal cases, and often
times they aggregate large sums OF
money.
Judge Broderick stated that the crea-
ton of new district would entail lit
tie more in the way of expense to the
government, and would result in a great
saving to Gtigants. The calendar would
crease in expense would be more than
counterbalanced by the superior SER
vice.
Representative Jerry Simpson pre-
scented pretty much the same argument
as Mr.. BrOderick.
Representative Curtis opposed the bill
because it would involve increased eX-
pense. He said that, although the pres
ent judge was unable to attend to all
the legal business of the district, with
an additional judge to assist him he
could continue. He said he was in ia
VOr of allowing Judge Foster to retire
on pay. He was opposed to the divis
ion bill because it was unnecessary, and
he maintained that it ought to be re-
ported unfaVOrably.
Senator Baker was present at the
hearing, but took no part in the discus
sion, although he is favorable to the
bill.
Representatives Broderick and Simp-
son are confident the committee will re-
port the bill favorably.

Governor Otero's Views on the Maine
Affair.

Maine disaster should be shown by the
court of inquiry to be due to Spanish
treachery,'' said Gov. Otero, the trans
fer of all SPANS West Indian possess
ions to the United States would not, in
my Judgment, be sufficient atOnement
for the outrage, and our government
would be justified in deferring all nego-
tiations for indemnity until merited
chastisement had been inflicted. Cuba's
freedom is not necessarily involved in
this affair of ours. In case of war, New
Mexico's Spanish speaking soldiery will
be found at the front with the United

AAOOA - ITO with Hood s SarSaparilla
A Farmers ReparteP.

A story Is told of Rutherford B.
Hayes that while attending school at
Kenyon college he was in the habit of
taking daily walks in the country.
These trips were shared by two inti-
mate companions who were of fun
loving disposition, which frequently
got them into trouble. On one occa-
sion they more than met their match
in repartee in an old farmer whom
they met on the highway. The long
white beard of the farmer gave him a
patriarchial appearance. and while he
was approaching the students they
arranged to give him ''jollying,"
which eventually terminated in the
discontinue of the youths. One of
them dotted his hat with great respect
as he said; Good morning, Father
Abraham" The second saluted the
farmer saying: Good morning Father
Isaac" Hayes, not to be outdone in
politeness, extended his hand as he
said: Good morning, Father Jacob"
Ignoring the outstretched hand OF
Hayes the farmer replied: Gentle
men, you are mistaken in the man. I
am neither Abraham, Isaac nor Jacob,
but Saul, the son of Kish, who was
sent out to seek his fathers asses,

Dotty sat on stool beside her mother
looking at the pictures in an old church
book: There were angels and cherubim
and harpsts galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her. The last pic.
ture in the book was of dozen or more
angels floating on the clouds Above the
head of each shone the symbolic halo Those
halos bothered Dotty. She had never seen
such head dress and she was perplexed.
After minute thought she held the book
up to her mother and said: See, mamma,
the ladies what's got wings and funny things
on their heads"
The, mother, looked. Chose are angels,
dear" she said.
and what's the funny rings on their
heads, mammal" the child asked
Those are halos, Dotty"
