bertson, Dubois Simmons, and Talia-
ferro, Democrats. Those who voted in

THE SENATE.
Washington, Feb 13.-The senate
was crowded today as it has not been
since the opening of the session. Nearly
all the senators were on the floor, many
members of the house were pre-
sent, while the sides of the chamber
were lined with employees. The galleries
the aisles and corridors. The attrac-
ton was General William Booth of the
Salvation Army, who delivered the
PRAYER at the opening OF the session
He made an earnest prayer and quite
extended, occupying six minutes. In
the gallery was his chief assistant and
son-in-law, Booth Tucker. Many other
members of the Salvation Army were
present. Mr.. Stewart reported the In
dian appropriation bill. The resolution
of Mr. Morgan calling for the cores
pondence of naval officers regarding
the military occupation of the bays Of
Panama and Colon was agreed to-
An act was passed refunding certain
taxes paid by the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Association. The statehood
bill then was taken up, but Mr.. Quay
yielded the floor for consideration of
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill.
The Elkins bill was passed by the
house by vote of 241 to 6. Those vot-
ing in the negative were Messrs Coch-
ran and De Almond of Missouri; Glass,
Dem) of Virginia; Hooker Dem.) OF
Mississippi; Klutz, Dem) of North
Carolina; and Neville, Dem.) of Ne
braska.
Any legislation, Mr.. Rawlins declar-
ed, in any state directed at Mormon
ism, is futile unless there is public
sentiment which will sustain the same.
The question was not as to the made
quacy of provisions against polygamy,
but as to the exercise of political pow
er. Persecution is the seed of the
Mormon church, he declared, and it did
not do any good to arraign the entire
people and brand every Mormon as
slave, most unjust accusation. "To DO
that" he said, you solidify those who
would aid you in bringing about the
very conditions you seek here"

THE TERRITORIAL PENITENTIARY.
Exeeiently Managed BY Superintendent Bursum and 10
First Class Shape

The correspondent OF the san M; r.
cial Bee visited the Territorial Peniten-
tiary a few days ago and describes the
condition of that penal institution very
graphically in the following:
''Your correspondent, as a taxpayer
of New Mexico, took it upon himself to
investigate the workings of this institu-
ton. Having first received pass from
w. E. Martin, assistant superintend-
ent,, the writer proceeded to make
thorough inspection of this famous PEN
al institution of the territory. On ar
irving the writer was piloted by the
gentlemanly chief clerk, Mr.. Newcomb,
who took him to all places of interest
consisting of the following: Cell hous-
es, bakery, green houses, paint shop,
blacksmith shop, stables, lime kiln,
brick kiln, kitchen, underdraft brick
kiln, penitentiary yard, and in fact
everything there was to be seen. The
writer found the convicts at some use
full employment. All places visited
were models of neatness, which show
ed the discipline and government OF
this institution, of which the tax-pay-
ers of the territory may we'll feel proud.
1.-THE prisoners are kindly but firmly
treated, it being the disposition of the
superintendent, Hon. II. O. Bursum
and his assistants, to see that each
prisoner is occupied at some useful en-
ployment, and in this way and by THIS
excellent system, making useful men OF
the convicts by the time their sentenc-
es expire. Every citizen of New Mexi-
CO should feel proud Of the economlcal
and business-like management OF TINS
institution. And as resident ana
taxpayer of the southern portion OF
the territory we hope there will be no
change in the management OF the
same.

CONCERNS
A Grand Jury at st. Louis Is In
vestigating the Turf Invest
ment Companies That Have
Been Flourishing Of
Late.
the HEAD OF ONE COMPANY
HAS DISAPPEARED

St. Louis Mo-, Feb. 13.-The grand
jury today resumed the investigation
into the methods of the Turf Invest
meme Companies. e. ]. Arnold, hesd
of the company, which bears his name,
left Hot Springs, Ark, last night, os-
tensibly for st. Louis, but he could not
be found for an interview this forenoon
and deputy sheriffs are out looking for
him to serve a grand jury summons.
Crowds of anxious people still besiege
the offices of the various investment
companies, though none is paying out
money today.
On his return from New York, Circuit
Attorney Folk at once took personal
charge of the grand jury investigation
of the -Rich-Quick Company. Spea-
king Of the present state of affairs,
Folk said: 1.-THE laws of Missouri and
the federal laws are deficient in this
line of cases. The federal authorities
attempted to reach these same people
some time ago, but could not. I or
dered this lnVeStlgatlOn Two weeks ago
and placed it in charge of George M.
Fickeissen. 1 was not expecting the
collapse so soon. Just what charges we
will make will depend upon this inves-
tigation, which will last several days.
One thing is certain, the Get-Rich-
Quick Concerns must be driven from
Missouri"
An employe who for obvious reasons,
refused to make her name public,
states that at present, e. J. Arnold and
Company, has 100000 investors, 10000 In
ST. Louis and the remainder scattered
over the country. Receipts of this
company, the employe says, averaged
$125,O0O a week.

Denver Feb. 13-The report of Spec
ial Commissioner Schwanbeck, VINO
was appointed by Governor Peabody to
examine into the squandering OF the
general incidental fund under the last
administration and which was fully ex-
posed last October, was handed to the
governor today. The report is a severe
arraignment of the methods OF the
state auditors office. The printing
bills amounting to $13S,477 are consid-
cred "outrageously extravagant," not
only in prices charged, but also In the
amount of supplies furnished. He finds
that the prices for the contract of 1908

from those of last year.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Peculiar Points Presented by a Suit for Damages
AGAINST the Pueblo Of IsIeta.

Judge A. J. Abbott, United States at
torney for the Pueblo Indians, Wednes-
day argued a demurrer in an interest
ing case, before Judge B. s. Baker at
Albuquerque. The Pueblo Indians at
Isleta had made an agreement among
themselves not to rent any house with
in the boundaries of the pueblo for
commercial purposes to any outsider.
Any Indian who broke the agreement
was to be imprisoned. One of the
Pueblos, despite this understanding,
rented one Of the houses to an outsider
and was promptly seized and imprison-
ed in the Isleta Jail. He applied for
writ of habeas corpus. This was gram
ted and the offending Pueblo was re-
leased upon order Of Judge Baker. He
then brought suit for damages
against the governor and other officials
of the pueblo for false Imprisonment.
His counsel argued that since the
agreement was unlawful In the first
place, the plaintiff was not bound by
it. Judge Abbott for the pueblo Of Is
leta demurred and argued that since
the plaintiff had been a party to the
agreement, he was equally guilty with
the others when the agreement was en-
forced, and that he was taking advan-
tage of his own wrong-doing to claim
damages. Judge B. s. Baker sustained
the demurrer and gave the plaintiff
time in which to file an amended COM
plant. In this amended complaint will
be set forth that the agreement had
| been abridged at the time the plaintiff
| was imprisoned The case involves
several points of law which have never
before been passed upon, at least in
