HAS FAITH IN RELIGION

With Education Added Gov. Taft
Thinks They May Become capa-

Washington, Feb. 17.-Governor
Taft continued his testimony today
and replying to Senator Rawlins, ad-
vanced the idea that on account OF the
fact that the Filipinos nave, for 400
years, been under the influence of
the Christian religion they would
prove to be different from other Malay
races, and that in time, under the in
fiuence of American education the
people might become capable of self
government. He did not consider
the case as parallel with that in In
dla. He thought that all the difficult
ties OF race and climate might be
overcome, but held hat it would take
time and require much patience on our
part. He anticipated some. trouble
on count of undue or illegal ex-
ploitatiOn of the islands and corrup-
ton in case of continued American
occupation, but he would not on &C
count of this danger turn the islands
back to the fate of an oligarchy so
long as there is a probability of sue
cess, as there is in this case. 81 did

THE PETER POWER CASE.
President Hill of Great Northern on
Witness Stand.

Minneapolis, Feb. Thames j
Hill, president of the Great Northern
Railway company and also of the
Northern Securities company, gave
testimony today before Referee
Mabey in the case of Peter Power OF
New York against the Northern Pa.
ciic Railway company. The railway
officials and attorneys were on hand
promptly for the meeting. Mr.. Hill
was accompanied by M. D. Grover,
general counsel for the Great North
ern. President Mellen of the North
ern Pacific was accompanied by Frank
B.. Kellogg and Judge George K.
Young of st. Paul, attorneys for that
corporation. Mr.. Hill emphasized in
his testimony. that he could speak
only for the Great Northern. Many
of the questions put to him by the
attorneys for the plaintiff were in re-
lation to the acquiring of the Burling-
ton system by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific in which the plant
ifs attorneys seek to establish the
fact that there were some irregu-
larities. The hearing will probably
last several days.

JAPAN N RUSSIA.
Prediction That They Will Be Fight

ing Within Six Months.
Chicago, Feb. 17.-"Before the end
of six months there will be a war be-
tween Japan and Russia"
This prediction was made here to-
day by Bertrand Giersten of Hieroshi-
ma, Japan, Japanese representative of
a German banking house and we'll in
formed on the political affairs of the
Orient. Said Mr.. Giersten:
Japan would have started war with
Russia two years ago had the govern
ment not been afraid of interference
by the French fleet. At that time Rus
STA had not advanced so far with it's
trans-Siberian railroad and was not so
strong on water as at present. Now,
through the signing of the English
treaty, which was not possible then
because England was tied up with the
Beers, Japan feels strong enough to
fight Russia and can beat her on land
or sea-"

INTERESTING ITEMS OF NEWS
FROM ALL OVER NEW MEXICO

Postmasters have been named for
New Mexico as follows: Andrewa,
William Crothers; Grant, Emil BibOj
G~uadalupita, Jacob Regensburg.
Francis Clutton, formerly a resident
of ColfaX county, I'm this territory,
where he owned a stock ranch for a
dozen years, but who for some years
past has been a citizen of Denver, com
mitted suicide on Friday last (Decem-
Der 20th) by shooting himself through
the head at the Denver stock yards. He
was an Englishman about fifty-twO
years of age, and very well connected.
About fifteen years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Louise Pells, daughter Of
NJ. p. Pells, now Of Denver, and for
merly for many years manager of the
Maxwell land grant company in COlfax
county. 1t is asserted that the recent
death Of a young son preyed upon his
mind and was probably the of
his suicide, but there is nothing certain
concerning this. The deceased had
many friends in New Mexico, especial
ly in ColfaX county, who greatly regret
his death and whose sympathies are
extended to his family.-Santa Fe New

A Santa Fe dispatch Of December
23rd to the Denver Republican says
slippery Stevens, horse thief. Jail
breaker, hOldup and all arosnd bad
man, who recently escaped from the
San Juan county Jail at Aztec, wound
up his earthly career at Pagosa juno
ton, Colorado, Sunday, being killed
while resisting arrest.
Stevens arrived at Pagosa early Sun
day morning on an eastbOund freight
train. About noon he called at Cad
wells hotel, volunteering to chop wood
in lieu of cash for his dinner, and while
seated at the table three wandering
musicians who had stopped at Aztec
in their travels and had seen Stevens
in Jail, at once recognized him and
called him by name. Stevens lost no
time in leaving the dining room, but
instead of striking out across country,
went to a nearby sawmill, climbed up
over the boilers and removed his shoes
for the purpose Of resting and warm
ing his feet.
1t soon became nOised around w be
was and Constable Il. @. Games, being
advised of stevens many crimes and
escapes, secured a revolver and set
out to make his arrest. 1t did not take
long to locate his man and, walking
up in front of him. Games drew his re-
%vOlver, saying: stevens, l am an Off
Ger; hands up"
Stevens smiled sarcastically and in
raising his hands attempted to bring
into play the revolver he had forcibly
borrowed from Jailer Carter Of Aztec,
with the result that Games fired and
Stevens fell over dead, with a bullet
in his head.

REVENUE LAW is DECLARED
TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Denver, Dec. BIN the federal
court yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
Judge Riner delivered a decision in
which he sustained the claim that the
law creating a state board Of thirteen
assessors was unconstitutional and
that the Legislature had no power,
without q constitutional amendment,
to delegate to any body of assessors the
right to tax property which was out
side the lines of their individual
ties. The decision in effect defeats one
of the most important points in the
new revenue law. 1t has caused con-
sternation among state officials, who
realize that without prompt action
there may be no legal method of col
lecting the taxes for the year 1901.
After two consultations with the
Board OF Equalization and the attor-
neys who have been called upon for
advice it was decided by Governor Or
man that the only course left open was
to apply to the Supreme Court to with
draw the writ of supersedeas and by
~re-creating the State Board of Equali-
zation, which was abolished by the
new revenue law, to extend the assess
ments made by the State Board Of As
SCISSORS and certify them as assess
ments made by the State Board of
Equalization acting under the old law.
There are so many phases of the le-
gal tangle in which the state officials
are involved that they do not know
which way to steer in order to insure
the collection of taxes for 1901. After
discussion with legal advisers they
concluded that the only course open
ruac 70 VnnIra tho oegoggnnnntC TInnOTs thn
old law, acting as a State Board of
Equalization. 1t is entirely possible
that the question may be raised in the
courts that, owing to the passage of
the new revenue law which repealed

Major r. ]. Palen, president, and
Hon. Benjamin NJ. Read, secretary of
the board Of trustees of the New Mex
leo Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb,
On behalf of the said board, have been
the first to comply with that new and
important provision of law. IAN act
requiring territorial Institutions to ac-
count for all public moneys received
by them" approved by Governor Otero
IN March 81, 1901. This act, among
other things, makes it the duty of the
several boards of managers of terri
torial charitable and other institutions
which receive any money from the ter,
ritOrial treasury, at the end of each
fiscal year to make an itemized and de-
tailed statement Of all receipts and dis
bursements Of such institutions up to
and including the last day of the said
fiscal year, which shall be sworn to as
correct by the secretary, treasurer, or
other accounting officer of such institu-
ton who draws and receives the terri
torial funds, and shall be transmitted
to the governor Of the territory within
the first thirty days of the new fiscal
year, and any failure on the part Of
any person or officer to perform such
duty subjects such person to removal
from his position, and in case he is a
bonded officer, it shall be considered
as a breach Of his bond and be a mis-
demeanOr in office, for which he may
be fined in any sum not exceeding $500,
nor less than 500, which shall be re-
covered from him and the sureties on
his bond as a penalty. The governing
boards of the several educational in
stitutions of the territory, at the same
time when this annual statement is
made, also make and transmit to the
governor a list of the pupils enrolled
in such institution On the last day OF
the preceding fiscal year, stating the
name, age, residence and grade of each
pupil.
The several territorial. charitable or
other institutions which are required
thus to file one or both of the annual
statements above referred to are as fol-
lows: The University at Albuquerque;
the College of Agriculture and Mechan-
ic Arts at Mesilla Park; the School of
Mines at Socorro; the Military Institute
at Roswell; the Normal School at Silver
City; the Normal University at Las
Vegas; the Asylum for the Deaf and
Dumb at Santa Fe; the Asylum for the

the act creating the Board of Equaliza-
ton there is no such body in existence.
The members of the board will assert
that by Withdrawing the writ of super
sedeas Judge DiXon's decision that the
new revenue law is unconstitutional
will be in force. The state has taken
an appeal from this decision, but, pend
ing an opinion on this by the Supreme
Court maintains that Judge Dixon's de
cision leaves the old law in operation
and that the state officials have the
right to impose a tax under that meas
ure. The legal points involved are Sc
complex that state officials Ire at a
loss to know what decisive action they
can take in the matter.
One point is generally conceded, and
that is unless some action is taken
before midnight tonight the revenues
for 1901 may be in danger. All discus
sion Of an extra session has been tenn
porarily abandoned in the effort to de
termine upon some plan by which the
taxes for 1901 may be collected. Al
though there are objections to every
method which has yet been suggested
the plan of re-creating the State Board
of Assessors has been decided upon as
the most feasible.
Attorney General Post yesterday
asked the judges of the Supreme Court
to meet this morning to hear a motion
to withdraw the writ of supersedeas
without prejudice to the case. 1t is
argued that in this way the standing Of
the case now before the Supreme Court
to determine cOnstitutionality of the
new revenue law will not in any way
be affected, but that the state officials
viii be enabled to make the assessment
under the old law and leave the dispute
over the validity of the revenue law
to be passed upon by the Supreme
Court at a later date.
