GRAND ARMY OF The REPUBLIC
Will Hold Annual Encampmsnt Here
May 5.
GENERAL ORDERS.
GENERAL ORDERS.

The Grand Army of the Republic of
the department of New Mexico will
take an active part in the reception
OF President Roosevelt here May s.
The council of administration met
the fore part of the week and decided
that it would be very appropriate to
hold the 1908 annual encampment
here the day the president would visit
Aibuquerqe, and by so doing assist in
giving him a rousing reception. The
idea is a good one and has met with
the approval of the old soldiers of the
department. The railroad rates will
lie low at that time on account of the
presidents visit, and the encampment
will be the best attended ever held in
New Mexico
The following general orders were
formulated and issued:
Headquarters Grand Army of the Re-
public, Department of New Mexico.

APPROPRIATION HOLO-UP.
Treasurer Vaughn Declines 10 Pay
Certain Appropriations.
COURTS MUST DECIDE THE QUESTION.

The New Mexican says that pay
ment of several of the appropriations
made by the last legislative assembly
will not be made until question rails
ed by Territorial Treasurer ]. H.
Vaughn in regard to the loans author
lied to be made to the public institu-
tions has been passed on by the courts.
The refusal to make the loans until
the law is construed by the court nee
essarily holds up some other appropri-
ations.
The appropriation law as passed by
the legislature, authorizes the loan of
certain amounts to certain territorial
institutions and states that these loans
shall be repaid from the sale of lands
allotted to the institutions. The ques-
tion raised by Treasurer Vaughn is
whether or not money derived from
the sale of these lands can properly be
| used to repay such loans. 1t Is his be-
lief that these lands are granted the
territory for the use of the institutions
named in the United States law, for
specific purposes and that money de,
rived from the sale or lease of these
lands can only be applied to the pur.
pose named in the law. II money is
| loaned to the institutions to be ex.
pended for any purpose other than
those specified, the treasurer does not
believe that it can be repaid from
money derived from the sale of lands
any more than the money derived
from the sale of these lands could be
directly expended for purposes other
than those specified in the law. The
treasurer cannot see the difference
between a direct expenditure of money
for purposes contrary TO those con-
templated by the United States gov.
eminent and an indirect expenditure
OF the same amounts of money by TAX
ing 1t through the territorial treasury.
The institutions have commenced to
clamor for their money under the an
preparations, but it will be some time
before they are paid.
The legislature dipped into every
sinking fund in making the appropria.
tions and, in order to keep the books
straight it has been customary TO
create a provisional Indebtedness fund
after the legislature adjourns, from
which the appropriations are paid.
This fund is created by transferring to
II monies from other funds and from
the fund so created all appropriations
are made. Any surplus after paying
the appropriations, is distributed
among the funds which originally con.
tributed to the provisional indebted
ness fund. This fund is usually in ex.
istence about six months. Should the
transfers be made to this fund at the
present time, there would be about
$l5O,OOO in the provisional indebted !
ness fund OF this amount SlO9 900 |
would be transferred from the capitol |
building bond sinking fund and the |
balance from various funds.
The transfer of none of the money (
10 this fund has been made and il |
probably will not be authorized until |
he question at issue is determined. In |
me meantime the institutions will |
nave to wait for their money and with
hem other claimants for whom appro.
'rlatlons nave been made in the law. |

hands above his head. The would be
robber then demanded Hart to open
the safe and hand out the cash. The
combination of the safe was known
only to the day man. who handled all
the money, and of course Hart could
not comply with the hold-up's demand.
The man fired and Hart fell, the shot
entering his vitals.
The murder was discovered shortly
after it occurred and Sheriff Kinsell
was notified at Santa Fe. Bloodhounds
were put on the trail and followed II
about half a mile on a hill above town
There the trail turned a short angle
and led back to the railroad, where II
was lost
The officers have several theories as
to what the murderer did then. 1t is
certain that he took a train of some
kind, but whether it was freight ol
passenger is not positively known. The
most probable theory is that the mur
derer took the Chicago limited No.
which passed Cerrillos about that
time In that case there is no telling
where he Is now.
The murder of Hart, although moi
premeditated, was almost as colo
blooded deed as the killing of Specia
Officer Montgomery, which occurred
one night about year ago in the
Santa Fe station house at Winfield
Kansas.
In the killing Of Montgomery the
murderer shot through the window
glass.
