coal roads, whose prosperity depends pri.

Judge Street Exonerated.

Attorney General Knox on Jan uary p made report to the presi- dent giving the results of his ex- animation into the charges filed some time ago against Webster Street, chief justice of the supreme court of Arizona, the charges in cluding bribery and extravaganza in office The attorney general ex- Onerated Judge Street of the charges of bribery and extravaganza, and says the charges were "raised only upon rumors and unvarified insin- uations."
 Judge Street is criticised for not discharging a clerk for embezzle- ment immediately upon discovery of the fact, instead of asking the department of justice for instruct ions. Judge Streets term of office will not expire until the latter part of March, and the attorney general says that nothing was developed which would warrant his removal from office.-Journal-Democrat.

Otero Confirmed.

Although Morgan, of Alabama, spoke for over an hour in opposi- ton to Governor Otero on We'd nesday, the senate in executive session confirmed his nomination without division. Governor Otero's personal enemies made the fight and now they are called upon to go very far back and sit down, and if possible keep their envious, un- truthful tongues quiet for a season. Fiske and Burger distributed cir culars bitterly attacking the New Mexico democrats who supported Governor Otero. Such an unsav- ory epithet as "curs" was applied. But such tactics had a boomerang effect, for in the whole senate the Berger crowd could get only one man to oppose Otero-Morgan, a democrat. The New Mexicans at Washington are jubilant and are celebrating tonight.-Democrat.
