Superintendent Coleman
Accused of Opening
Employees Mail.
ALSO OF DELAYING WORK
Admits Opening Two Letters
inadvertently, But Denies
General Practice.

There appears to be some trouble with
the administration of affairs at the Dis
trict repair shop. IS Street north
west. This fact is apparent from sew
eral papers which have passed through
the hands of the Commissioners dur
ing the past few weeks.
Yesterday afternoon a paper eman-
ated from the Office of Captain Hard
ing. carefully marked mot for publi-
cation" bearing the following inter-
esting caption: John A. Merritt,
Postmaster d. c.. transmits complaint
of John Cleary relative to private mail
being opened By superintendent of re-
pairs" A portion of the postmaster's
letter follows:
John Cleary, lately employed in the
District repair shop states that while
he was there two of his letters were
opened without authority by the super
intendent, G.. b. Coleman. Mr.. Cieary
states. that the opening of private let
ters by the superintendent is a common
practice; in fact, that every letter for
any of the employees of the shop getting
into Mr. Coleman's hands is opened by
him. The matter is turned over to you
(the Commissioners) for such action as
you may deem proper"
Mr.. Coleman's Reply.
AS is customary in certain depart
ments OF the District government. the
charges were Immediately turned over
to superintendent Coleman for his de-
NAL. Mr.. Coleman, however, admits
having opened two of CIeary's letters,
Inadvertently. but adds:
''As TO Mr.. Cleary's statement that all
letters getting into my hand. addressed
TO employees, are opened by me, 1 have
the honor TO say that the statement is
an absolute falsehood. Any letter OF
letters that may have been opened by
me. that was addressed TO anyone
other than myself. was done purely by
mistake. so noted and signed, and none
ever read ! have neither the time nor
inclination to pry into other peoples
affairs. About six months ago Mr.
Cleary was laid off for infraction Of
rules of this department."
Here the matter is allowed to rest
both Captain Harding and Captain
Newcomer, Acting Engineer Commits
sioner, having approved the report Of
Mr.. Coleman. other complaints are
alleged to have been forwarded TO the
Commissioners. which have apparently
eluded the scrutiny OF the press and
reached the oblivion afforded the mot
for publication" file.
Other Charges.
10 is asserted he replaces good me-
+, chanics with cheaper and incompetent
ones, and discriminates in favor of non.
union workmen: he is not a practical
mechanic. nor District man, and i'm
ports men from nearby States in prefer.
ence to employing District men. and Ia:
been negligent in prosecuting repair
work on public schools. having delayed
the work until the opening of the
school year when II could have beer
completed during the summer.
The Engineer Department declares
Coleman is hard worker. and through
his economy has saved many dollars &
the District. This statement is combatec
by the assertion that cheaper workmer
do inferior work which. in the end. ii
more expensive.

to the natives of our sister republic
across the border for the last nine
days, was brought to close, and
the thousands of pilgrims and
sightseers who were in attendance
thereupon are now returning to
their homes in differents parts Of
country.
San Francisco Javier is one OF
the most celebrated and revered OF
all the Catholic saints, and every
year a big celebration is held at
Magdalena, of which town San
Francisco is the patron saint, to do
honor to him and made good the
many vows and promises made to
him by the faithful during the
previous year for favors and graces
granted them according to their
faith, in times OF trouble and des-
pair. In many generations every
household in this region, has at
one time or another, had occasion
to call on San Francisco for special
savors in case OF sickness, accidents
and misfortune OF any description
Detailing on the family, offering in
return for such favors, if granted,
to make a special pilgrimage to
Magdalena to do honor to that
special image OF the saint in the
church in that town, besides reclung
special prayers, a novena, and
doing acts of penance, such as
travelling on their knees for some
distance when they make their
visit to his image, wearing Fran
ciscan habit, giving aims, etc.
The celebration this year began
on the first OF the month and
the worshipping penitents travelled
for hundreds OF miles, from all
over Sonora, Sinaloa, Lower Cali
fornia and from different points in
this country to visit the image OF the
saint. They came singly and in
groups, by foot, horseback. burro,
wagon and by almost every other
conceivable kind OF conveyance,
except automobiles, which were
quite conspicuous by their absence.
They seemed to have brought
their entire personal belongings
along with them, and camped right
out ia the streets, and were as much
at home there as out in the interior.
Magdalena has a normal popula-
ton of about $4,000 souls, and
the great influx OF fifteen thousand
visitors naturally crowded things
little, and breathing space was
at premium and hard to find at
that. Last Sunday, October the
fourth, was the big day, being San
Francisco's own day, and large
number OF the residents of Nogales
took advantage OF the excursion
rates and two trainloads OF people
went from here that morning to
attend the notable event. The old
mission of Magdalena, which pos
sesses considerable historic interest
being several hundred years old,
was opened at sunrise that
morning and was kept open until
late at night, allowing the thousands
OF penitents to pay homage and
devotion to the saint, whose image
in the shape OF a wooden effigy was
exposed to view, lying upon a
bier in the front part OF the
church. The pilgrims packed the
church all day long, bringing with
them laces, ribbons and articles OF
clothing to be given to the attend

They all brought their thanh
offerings for the saint and were al
lowed to kiss his newly painted
toes, the performance of which ac
is supposed to bring special grace
to the kissers. The most devout O
the worshippers entered the church
upon their knees carrying lighted
wax candles, and, with tear-stream-
ing faces proceeded in that manner
to the image of San Francisco
where they Frustrated themselves
before him and presented the
candles as additional thank offer
ings.
The priests also did a thriving
business in baptizing the hundreds
OF infants which were brought by
adoring mothers for that purpose
and to be named after the saint.
The streets adjacent to the church
were all lined with booths where
different religious articles. such as
rosaries, prayer books, portraits OF
San Francisco and Others were
sold. Right in front of the church
was cart from which pulque, the
Mexican national drink was dis
pensed. One of the main features
was the. religious hypnotic dance
by five brave Yaqui warriors and a
squaw which attracted quite a
crowd OF interested sightseers.
The Fiesta proper was held at
some little distance from the
church and those who were for
tunate enough to be in possession
of any money after leaving the
good saint hied themselves to that
quarter OF the town where were
conducted all conceivable games OF
chances and they got run for
their money at any kind that they
were looking for. The big merry
go-round was one of the principal
attractions of the big show and was
the marvel OF all the natives who
live out in the interior, and by the

WILL FULFILL BARGAIN
Probable Democratic Opinion on
the Election and Seating of
Reed Smoot.
Especial 10 The Herald.)

Washington, Jan. 14-The Evening
Star lind. } makes the following COM
ment upon the, troubles rwhich Will come
To Smoot after his election as senator:
Senators apprehend an avalanche Of
petitions and memorials against the
seating of Mr.. Smoot. apostle of the
Mormon church, in case that gentle
man is elected to the senate, as it
seems probable he will be.
From surface indications it appears
the only objection to be urged against
Smoot will be that he is an official of
the Mormon church. That is not likely
TO prove sufficient ground to debar him
from the senate. and it is not consid-
cred proba BILE that the purely senti-
mental protests of Gentiles can be
made to count against his certificate of
election by the state legislature. 1t
will be noted that Mr.. Shoots case
would differ from the case of Repre-
sentative Roberts who was charged
with being a pOlygamist No such
charge has been made against Smoot.
Republican senators are interested
in the prospective election of Mr.. Smoot
from the fact that they know the Dem
Ocrats will charge that he was seated
to carry out q bargain" which the
Democrats all know the Republican ma
t'onal committee made in 1900 with the
leaders of the Mormon church, namely.
that the Mormon vote. being the bal
ance of power in Utah, Colorado. Idaho.
Nevada and Wyoming, should be cast
for the Republican party in return for
the policy of hands off, by Republi-
cans toward the Mormon propaganda.
The Republican senators realize that
circumstantiai evidence seems to be
against them. The Republican party
has made sweeping gains in Idaho.
Utah and Colorado which, The Demo-
Gratis will claim, are due to the Nor
mon vote If a Mormon senator should
be seated in the face of overwhelming
public opposition. the Democrats viii
claim that the Republicans are deIiv-

he may be seated because it would "a
