than one occasion to injure me since
they left the service. The action TAX

II am charged with taking the ex-
animation papers of the civil service
and giving them, together with the
answers. to men who were about to

fact. the secretary of the board of ex-

the papers. I have never seen one.
1T is also claimed that / solicited
money from certain persons for politi-

Mining Men
Find Mecca
in Ell PaS0

One of the most encouraging things
for the future of Ell Paso is the new
mining men who are now making this
city their headquarters.
1t can also be said that many of the
new men and mining firms are bona
fide and experienced mining men who
have demonstrated their worth in the
business in different parts of the coun-
try and have come to Ell Paso to do a
legitimate business and because of the
exceptional advantages FL Paso has
in commanding it's own country and
est undeveloped mining regions of the
world.
One of these firms and a prominent
one too is that of w. P. Howle & Co..
composed of w. P. Howle and c. A.
Goss. They have opened commodious
offices in the Stevens block on Mesa
avenue next to st. Clements church,
and opened a general mining and real
estate business. Mr.. How1e halls from
Arizona directly but formerly came
from Alabama. He has been mining
in Arizona for about six years and it
must be said that few men in the busi-
ness have been more successful than
he. He is practical mining man and
his success proves that he knows what
piece of mining property is when he
sees it. He located the Montgomery
group of claims in Arizona and backed
by his own judgment developed the
mines and sold them to the Black
Warrior Copper company. The ma
chinery in use cost $4OO, 900 and 2,O0O.-
900 has been offered and refused. but is
not for sale at any price. In Decem-
Der last he sold the Black Copper group
to the Pinal Copper company at a
round figure and that property is also

NOT A CANDIDATE
For Mayor, Says He, and
Now With the Two Wheel
Horses Gone Nobody
Knows Anything. (

c. r. Moreheads positive announce
ment in the gangs subsidized organ
this morning that he would not be a
candidate for mayor was received with
regret by his friends.
Realizing the fact that there are
other good men in the city they say
that the only thing left for them to
do now is to cast about for another
candidate acceptable to Morehead.
City politics at present is assuming
tangible shape and now with More
head and Magofin both out of the
race the atmosphere has cleared up to
some extent.
Never in the history of the municipal
campaigns of Ell Paso has more inter-
est been manifested in an election or
the events that precede it than the one
to be held early next month.
The conditions this spring have been
unusual.
At the very first dash out of the box
Morehead and Magoffin became sadly
estranged and it was necessary to do
away with Magoffin so that Mr.. More
head might crafty a lifelong ambi-
tion and become mayor himself. His
project came to naught for private
business reasons with which the pub
lie has no concern. 1t is alleged that
Magoffin inSinuated that he would use
the power he possesses and strike back
at those who had ouSted him.
This may or may not be true, but
this morning Morehead formally an
nounced that he would not under any
circumstances become candidate for
the Office. His reasons are somewhat
novel. He asserts that unless he could
obtain the Office without any opposi-
ton whatever he did not want it.
Formal Announcement
Mr. Morehead's announcement is in
the shape of an interview alleged to
have been given to a reporter but it's
style of composition indicates that no
reporter wrote it. 1t follows:
Reporter: Mr. Morehead, you must
know that as the city election is ap-
pl oaching the people are specializing
over prospective candidates for mayor
and councilmen. This is particularly
the case since Mayor Magoffin has
withdrawn his name from considera-
ton. AS you have been prominently
mentioned for the Office of mayor, the
public desires to know how you stand
Mr.. Morehead replied: We'll. l have
already stated to another reporter
that ! was not a candidate. but l con-
fess l have stated privately to several
friends who have urged me to become
candidate that if l were convinced
that my fellow citizens generally de-
sired that l should be mayor and all
opposition were withdrawn. SO that l
would not be compelled to enter into a
contest for the Office, l would not re-
fuse it. At the same time l felt that
that was an impossibility: therefore, l

ONTRIBUTIONS
1t is Alleged, Were Solicited
by the COLLECTOR for Cam
paign purposes, Con-
trary to Law.

The political situation Ia federal
building circles is evidently warming
ur. and fast approaching crisis 1t
is even keeping pace with the condi-
tions prevailing in the city at large
For some time past trouble has been
brewing around the custom house and
the movements of those who draw sal
aries from the federal government have
1een full of mystery.
Today the cat was ret out of the bag
when Captain Moses Dillon, collector
of customs at this port, was arrested
en- warrant issued by United States
commissioner Howe, charging him
with soliciting and receiving money
from federal employees presumably for
campaign purposes) against the peace
and dignity of the United States.
Captain Dillon gave bond immediate
ly.
The penalty as prescribed by the
statute is not above $4,000 fine and not
above three years Imprisonment, or
both.
The persons who were solicited for
funds, as set out in the complaint, were
Messrs Marr, Fink and Kitchens, all
staunch republicans and on that ac-
count the fight may be regarded as
one to be confined strictly within party
lines
The Complaints.
Before me. w. d. Howe, personally
appeared A. G. Foster, assistant United
States district attorney at Ell Paso, who
upon oath says that he has credible
information that on or about Septem-
bel 80, 1898, one Moses Dillon. being
then and there collector of customs
of E, Paso and an executive
officer of the United States did then
and there unlawfully, fraudulently. and
knowingly and in violation of section
II of the acts of congress of the United
Indirectly solicit and was concerned in
soliciting from one James Marr for
political purposes; the said MARI being
then and there an inspector of customs
ard being then and there an empIoye
of the treasury department of the Uni
TED States, contrary to the statutes in
such cases provided and against the
peace and dignity of the United States.
A second affidavit similar in its form
charges that Moses Dillon did on Feb
ruary IL. 1900, solicit and receive in
his Office at the custom house S5 from
one VIM. T. Kitchens. and one E. NJ.
Fink. employees Of the treasury depart
ment.
Upon the filing of these complaints
United States Commissioner Howe is
sued warrant for the arrest of Hon.
Moses Dillon and it was placed in the
hands of Deputy United States Mar
sbal Hillebrand who served it just be-
fore noon today and brought the de-
fendant into the commissioners court
where he gave bond for his appearance
The marshal found Captain Dillon in
lis Office and read the warrant to him.
He evidently regarded the Incident as
trivial and due entirely to the machin-
