MAYOR And CITY COUNCIL SCORED.
The Board of Trade Warns Prospective
Buyers of Street Railway Bonds.

The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the local Board of Trade in refer
ence to the bonds of the street railway
company, the interest on which has
been guaranteed by the mayor and the
city council:
Whereas, the mayor and city council
of the City of Santa Fe, at its meeting
held last month, unlawfully and without
legal authority undertook and pretended
to guarantee the payment of 5 per cent
per annum interest on some pretended
issue of bonds issued or to be issued by
a corporation designated as the Santa
Fe Railway company, purporting to
operate a street railroad within the city
Of Santa Fe, and
Whereas, said pretended action of said
city council is utterly and entirely H.
legal and in violation of the laws of
congress and in excess of the corporate
powers tf tl, CITY Of Santa Fe, being an
attempt to aid and loan the credit of
said city to a private corporation, and
Whereas, Said pretended action is
further illegal because the bonded in
debtedness of said city represented by
the bonds of 1897, is already SIG 900, and
the right of said city to pledge its credit
or issue evidences of Indebtedness is en-
hausted, and
Whereas, In addition to being un-
authorized by law, said action was i'm.
provident, unbusiness-like and improper,
and,
Whereas, 1t is further reported that
said mayor and city council have actual
ly carried out said pretended guarantee
and made some illegal and pretended
endorsements on the bonds referred to,
which may be placed on the market and
get into the hands of purchasers for
value, ignorant of the illegality of said
guarantee: therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the Board of Trade of
the City of Santa Fc, that the said ac-
tion and pretended guarantee be and
the same are hereby publicly condemned,
repudiated and dishonorcd, and all per-
sons holding same are hereby notified
not to negotiate them, and all possible
purchasers thereof are hereby notified
not to engage in any dealings thereon
so far as said pretended guarantee of
the City Of Santa Fe is concerned.
That, On behalf of the taXpaying pub
lie of this city, this resolution be re-
quested to be printed in the local news
papers of this city, and in all news
papers of this territory, as well as in all
metropolitan newspapers possible, and
that the secretary of the Board of Trade
do further cause the publication hereof
in the finance journals of the east, to
the fullest extent within his power.

"A "catch"deal which it seems has been
worked successfully 10 Cnwley and
Sumner counties on Il number of farm
ers, R. H. Hillery, Wm. Binder, and
Others have been engaged in those
counties in the last few months in the
work Of soliciting agents to sell these
machines aud each agent was assigned
certain territory in which to work.
The machines sell well but the right
to sell them costs 81 900. A good many
farmers down there gave up farming
aud mortgaged their homes 10 order
to engage in this business which ap
peared to bea good paying investment.
But each one Of these agents was
granted the same privilege to sell
these rights on the payment of small
sum OF money, and it soon became
known that a number Of agents had
been assigned the same territory.
Many OF the new" agents had to give
up the business and lose their homes.
When it was discovered what kind ot
4 game was being worked on the
farmers, some arrests were made in
Winfield, but the cases are still pend
log and duringa all this time the agents
are and have been getting in their
work, The ''catch" methods Of this
gang have been given much publicity
in these counties but the farmers
would nibble at the bait and get
caught.
Messrs. Elsas and Warford have
both mOrtgaged their homes aud had
to seek the new territory in order to
sell any goods, 1t is said that Hillery.

struck those counties, supplied the
