.WHYISSCHRONERS
NOTSENTENCED?

Martin Schomers, who has been in
the county Jail since April and who
pleaded guilty to holding up a police
man and others, has not yet been
sentenced, though It has been weeks
since he confessed.
1t was expected that Schomers
would get 10 years at Walla Walla.
1t developes at the present time that
he may not be sentenced at all and
that the Jail commitment will suffice
for his punishment.
Schomers has been accused of act
ing as stool pigeon for the police
and that may have something to do
with his future liberty.
Schomers at the time of his arrest
was charged with several crimes that
land less criminals than he in the
penitentiary. AS a prisoner in the
county Jail he was instrumental in
gaining the confession of George
Hammond, the Montana train robber,
and certain rron.Sasi uro~~u=-s ...u.
that may also have been the cause
for the preventing of his citizenship
at Walla Walla.
Are Schomers' services so valuable
as a stool pigeon that he is pre-
vented from getting his just dues?
He is considered one of the worst
criminals the city ever had and the
mystery surrounding his sojourn in
the Jail can only be accounted for
by the fact that he is being protect
ed by the authorities for obvious
reasons.
1t is said that in August Schomers
discovered a plan laid by the prison.

out, and he informed the sheriff's

he get in his graft then?

Against Such Measure.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 25.-The an

to the Secretary of the Interior says
the territorial population has increased
considerably, and that the total popu-
lation now is between 10000 and 17O,-
600. It expresses a desire on the part
of the people Of Arizona for statehood,
hut saws: Finding themselves con-
fronted with plan to unite their terri.
tory with New Mexico, the people OF
Arizona have protested vigorously and
will continue to do so until they have
defeated this repugnant scheme. They
would desire that their commonwealth
remain a territory indefinitely rather
than be Joined with New Mexico"
The governor adds his belief that the
merger would not be acceptable to the
mass of the people of either territory.

edness OF Arizona, which on June 80

great wealth and varied resources and
it is but just and right that honors
should fall where honors are due.
"New Mexico produces the greatest
variety of minerals and grains OF any
state, or territory in the Union. Its
cereals and fruits are also equal to any
in America. Its climate and health
giving qualities have been brought to
the eyes of the world and today this
Territory is one of the best advertised
sections on the globe and this has re-
suited principally through its exhibits.
"This Territory may well be proud
of it's advertising and it's honored citi'
zens, who have shown such energy IN
bringing this Territory so prominently
before the world. The New Mexico
building at the Worlds Fair has been
visited by fully one-half of the United
States Congress and millions of citi
zens throughout the country, who have
listened to the Territorial commission
ers as they showed and explained te
them the varied resources and told
them of the increasing population, rail
roads and factories.
