The DAM CASE.
The Government Finds New Witness and
Wants Rehearing,

United States District Attorney Chill
ders, of Albuquerque, and Col. Warner
P. Sutton, of Washington, representing
the department. of Justice, are in the
city. They filed a motion Tuesday at
Las Cruces for rehearing at Santa
Fe in the Elephant Butte
dam case, and If this be denied will ap-
peal to the supreme court of the terri
tory, and probably in case the action OF
the lower court be sustained, to the su-
preme court of the United States.
The date for argument on the motion
for rehearing will be set as soon as the
attorneys for the other side who prom
ised to telegraph today, have been heard
from. Mr.. Sutton will remain in Santa
Fe until the case comes up before Judge
Parker, who is in the capital to attend
supreme court.
The ground upon which the rehearing
Is asked is the discovery of new and
material evidence which could not have
been discovered at an earlier date. This
new evidence is given by Frank P.
Clark, special deputy collector of Gus
toms at Ell Paso, who, it would seem,
could have been found as a witness in
the two years since this question was
opened, in time to testify at an earlier
date. He has made an affidavit con-
cerning a voyage he made in a rowboat
with others from Ell Paso to Preside
del Norte and the Concho in 1881. The
afiiant alleges that the Rio Grande did
not decrease it's volume along the route.
Plaintiff urges as further groun1
for rehearing that if the case Is con-
tinued until July or August there will
be offered an opportunity to measure
the flow of the spring flood waters; and
that in order to get at the fact plaintiff
will cause measuring gates or gauges to
be put in the river at different points
between Ell Paso and the mouth of the
Concho and also below the Concho
Colonel Sutton says the government
will not quit the fight until it is assured
the navigability of the river will not be
impaired, and the waters of the Rio
Grande used for irrigation purposes are
equltably distributed among the peo-
Pile who have right to the use Of such
waters.
w. A. Hawkins, attorney for the irri-
CATION company, says: "Our people do
not believe the government has been
making this fight in good faith, but has
mapped out a program of delays call
culated to cause business men to lose
patience and submit to being defrauded
of their rights. Judge Parker, during
the hearing of testimony at Las Cru
ces, sustained the government in near
ly all of it's objections; consequently,
unless the government has new evil
dence to offer it has no ground for an
appeal or a motion for a new hearing
Besides, the decision is in the nature
Of finding of facts, and has the same
force as the verdict Of a jury. do not
believe the higher courts will question
Judge Parker's finding of facts and on
that acvonnh do ,,etS:: think ,s,n appeal
will avail saw letter the other dav
from DR.. Boyd, of London. He says the
English company is ready to resume
work on the dam as soon as the agents
Of the government show they are will
ing to abide by the decisions of the
courts"

SPECIFIC LEYIES SACRED.
Taxes Collected for Educational Institutions
Gan Not Be Diverted. %,

| The following is copy of a letter ad-
dressed to Hon. Bradford l.. Prince,
president of the board of regents Of the
agricultural college of New Mexico by
Solicitor General Edward L. Bartlett.
under date Of January 9:
Dear Sir-Your letter Of the 30th
| ult., requesting my opinion upon the
| act of March 16, 1899, in which it Is
provided, section 9,e'tlsat all delinquent
taxes for the years 1896 and 1897 be dis
( tributed as follows: One-h half thereof
to be paid into the general county fund,
and one half thereof to be paid into the
general school fund of the respective
it being chapter 50, Session Laws o.
1899, is receiveds and it has my atten-
Nom. You fa1t her ask whether such de-
Hul a,snt .lxes originally appropriated
amt levied for the benefit of the educa-
tiCIlal institutions of New Mexico"
should be devoted to the purpose for
which they were raised, or can they be
diverted as attempted in that statute to
other purposes where obligations have
been incurred by such institutions, on
the faith of such levies and the expec-
tation that they will be available to
meet such obligations. I would state
that this question has been before the
first district court in three aspects; one
where the City OF Santa Fe claimed that
funds collected under its levy could not
be SO diverted; another where the hold
ars Of interest coupons claimed that the
levy for the payment of this account
could NOT be diverted; and similar
cDaim by holders of judgments for
which a levy had been made. In each
of these cases the court held that the
act of 1899 above referred to did not
and could not change the original pur-
pose for which the tax levy was made.
I agree perfectly with this constructio
of the law by the court, and can see no
reason why the same rule will not ap-
ply to the tax levies made by the terri
ing fiscal years for the benefit of the
various educational institutions. A spe-
cific tax was authorized by the legisla-
ture and made by the auditor for tfles.
institutions, in the product of which
they had a vested right SO long as there
are any claims outstanding against said
institutions. My opinion, therefore, is
that the law of 1899 above referred to
does not divert the money collected or
to be collected from the purposes for
which the levy was made. and all that
the act could accomplish would be to
give to the general county fund and the
general school fund the taxes levied and
collected for general territorial purposes

an undoubted right to do if it SO desire.

THE ROBERTS CASE.
The Polygamist holds That There Is No
Law to Justify His Exclusion.

Washington, January 5.-The Rob-
erts Investigating committee continued
its session to-day. Chairman Tayler
stated he had received from eXSecre
tary Carlisle letter giving him his
views Of the case as follows "The rec
ord Of Roberts application and admis-
sion to citizenship does not comply with
the law as I understand It, and do not
think he could be allowed to vote in
any state upon certificate based upon
that record. He is at this very mo-
ment a polyganist, not having at any
time abandoned or renounced the rela-
ton assumed by plural marriages, and
cohabitation with alleged wives is not
at all necessary. The question, there
fore, is whether the committee will de-
eide on a question of final right that
an undoubted polygamist who justifies
the doctrine and practices of polygamy
shall be allowed to hold a seat in the
house"
1t was determined by the committee
to ask Carlisle for his views more at
length on the general right of congress
to exclude a member
Roberts then read a typewriter
statement, reviewing in detail the pro-
ceedings I'M the case up to date. He
said: There is no statute, so far as
has been made to appear before the
committee, either in Utah or the United
States, applicable to the case, which
disqualifies a representative elect from
the office of congressman Of the lower
house Of the American congress.

committee ON privileges and elections
to-day began an investigation of the
charges of bribery made in connection
with the election Of Senator Clark of
Montana. The proceedings were begun
by the arguments of counsel. Mr.. Clark
himself was present, with his counsel.
former Senator Faulkner.
Ex-senator Edmunds appeared as the
leading counsel for the complainanlts,
making the first statement in support
Clark. He said complainants expected
to be able to prove all the charges
made, and show that Clark's election
was obtained by a liberal use of money
and large sums of money furnished by
Mr.. Clark. He believed the expendi-
lures could be traced to Mr.. Clark with
due effort ON THE part Of the commit
tee. He said he and his associates would
ask to have a good many witnesses
summoned. Mr.. Edmunds also said the
complainants expected to prove all the
charges made, and in doing SO would
enter quite thoroughly into the White
side libel case, showing that when Sen
ator Clark had an opportunity to ap-
material questions. While Mr.. Ed
munds was making his statement g
question arose concerning the adnlissi
bility of the testimony before the grand
juries of Lewis and Clark counties.
Senator McComas took occasion to in
innate that he would hesitate to ed
nit statements purporting to violate
the secrecy OF the grand jury room.
Mr.. Edmunds said the notes Of the
grand jury proceedings had been made
by Attorney General Nolin and been
presented and received by the Mon
tana court in the disbament proceed
ings against John w. Welcome.
Ex-senator Faulkner made formal
statement on behalf of Senator Clark.
He reviewed the politics Of Montana,
referring to the "Daly gang and tn,
Clark faction" in the Democratic party.
1t was, he said, an acknowledged fact
mined to prevent his political prefer
menlt regardless Of all proprieties. 1t
would be shown that, Notwithstanding
the charges of bribery against. some
fifty persons, including thirty eight
members of the legisla ture, there had
been no proceedings against any Of the
men thus involved in any Montana
court. This was evidence that the pres
eht proceeding was not sustained by
public sentiment.
The statement was made that If nec-
essary each charge against the senator
would be met "by direct positive proof
OF Its falsity." After hearing these pre-
limdnary statements the committee held
an executive session to decide upon the
status Of the papers before it, but after
considerable discussion adjourned with
out action. The hearing OF the testi-
mony will begin Tomorrow.
