if he did not know that this was n

he said he did not. This accentu-
ates the unenvlable position in
which he was placed by his confes-

the SOL 900 credited to him in the
committee report was the COntrl-
button of brewery corporations.
The postmasters it is said can be
removed for their violation of the

sons connected with corporations
had made personal contributions.
For the Democratic campaign
fund after the nomination of the
ticket, Harry B. HAYES, president
of the Jefferson Club, and Chair
man Evans of the Democratic State
committee, testified that $2l 900
had been contributed by the police
of st. Louis, which was equally
divided between the State commit
tees fund and that of the city com.
mittee. An effort was made to
show that the police contributions
were compulsory and that officers
failing to respond were embarrassed
by their superiors, but five police
captains testified that there was no
compulsion, that the contributions
were voluntary, and one. Captain
Pickel. stated that he himself did
not contribute. Chairman Evans
also testified that contributions
received from the officials of State

quest that voluntary contributions

President Roosevelt and the Sen.
ate are at outs, the latter contend
ing that he has exceeded his au.
thorlty or constitutional rights in
dealing with other nations without
the advice and consent of the Sen
ate. The Senate has noted the
Presidents disposition to leave it
out of account in many matters
and feels that its dignity is out.
ragged. The matter appears to
have come to parting of the
ways though Senate amendment
to the general arbitration treaties,
t. which the President demurs;
and the ire of the Senate has been
aroused and the chasm between it
aud the President broadened by a
statement issued by Secretary of
State Hay in which he says that the
President considers that with the
Senate amendment the treaties not
only cease to be step forward in
the cause of general arbitration,
but are really step backward,
and therefore he is unable to pre-
sent them in their altered form to
countries with which we have been
negotiating. In othe rwords,
notice is given the Senate that if
it doesn't recede that stops these
treaties. The Senate, not to be
blutfed, is seriously considering
about investing the San Domingo
matter, in which it holds that Pres
ident Roosevelt has exceeded his
constitutional rights and created n
dangerous precedent, holding that
to allow such au instance to stand
unquestioned would encourage
further disregard of the Senate's
province in treaty making, so that
one of these days we might find
the President assuming by virtue
of his single Office to declare war. F."

1.-THE LOOTED SCHOOL FUND

The ridiculous charge of a loot

stock in trade the Republicans had
in 1902 for campaign shlbbOleth,
and the way they rung the changes
on it one might have thought that
they really believed all they said.

Well it appears that on the 9Th Of
last November a whole lot Of Dem.
ocrats in this state forgot all about
it being election day and went
fishing As result the Repub.
Leans slipped into about all the
State offices and got control OF the
popular branch of the Legislature.

going after those books and show
ing us, 50 on the Sth inst. Mr.. Al.
drich of Worth county, Il democrat
with a vein Of humor in his com.
position, introduced u resolution
in the House touching on ancient

The resolution read something
after this fashion: Since reports
have been made all over the State
by public speakers and certain
newspapers that the School Fund
OF the State has been looted, there
fore Toe it resolved that Il committee
composed OF MeSsrs Buckley of st,

consequence. He remarked that
committee OF experts had examined

the question settled; and so i
seemed did all the other Republl
can members of the House. for
there was practically a unanimous
vote to table the resolution.

NOW IT is PLANNED TO
PUT A TAX ON COFFEE
BUT THE TARIFF sHARPs CLAIM THAT IT is POSSIBLE TO MAKE
BRAZIL FOOT THE BILL.
BY Gibson Gardner.

? 2,651 pounds of coffee. This amounts
to 1915 pounds a year for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
The total value of this coffee was $751;
100000. The preliminary figures for
1905 show a slight decrease in the
consumption; for this year, it appears
to have been 1907, 269, 45S pounds.
At 8 cents a pound the tax would
amount to to about 40 cents a year
for every person in the country. Any
one desiring to escape the tax need
ony stop drinking coffee.
Coffee now enters the United States
free Of duty. But most of our coffee
comes from Brazil, and before leav'
ing that country it pays a 3-cent eX-
port duty. Members of congress who
favor this tax for raising the revenue
say that the duty which it is pro-
posed to put on coffee coming into the
United States will have no other eff
feet except to force Brazil to take of
it's export duty, and that it will not.
The chief argument, however, which
will be used to support a duty on
coffee is that it will aid Porto Rico
Hawaii and the Philippines. We now
get 100000 pounds a veal from Porte
Rico, and 1927 900 pounds from the
Hawaiian islands. There is no doubr
that as good coffee as can be grown
in the world can be raised in oul
non-contiguous territory.

TERRITORIAL FAIR
BASEBALL RULES
MUST BE OBSERVED BY TEAMS
ENTERING TOURNAMENT - 1T
WILL BE A LIVELY SCRAMBLE
FOR A JUICY PURSE.

Z. B. Pickard, superintendent of the
territorial fair base ball tournament,
said today that it would be well for
managers of teams contemplating en-
tering the tournament TO observe
closely the rules upon which it is to
be conducted. The rule requiring that
players must reside within the city
they will represent on or before Au-
gust 18th, which will be Tuesday,
is one that must be observed very
closely, as it might be easily broken
and cause no end of trouble. 1t will
also be well for managers to observe
the other rules upon the card with
which they have been supplied, and
glance over the different divisions of
the purse of $500. It might inspire
their courage. In case six teams en-
ter the tournament, there will be four
monies, the first prize being 500, the
second $500, the third $3.50 and the
fourth $3.50. If there should be only
five teams in the contest, there will
be three monies. The first prize vii
be $3.50, the second $500 and the third
$3.50.
The prospect Is that there will be
six teams entered, and that the tour
nament win be the hottest ever pulled
of here. Las Vegas, Santa Fe, +
Paso, Molenci, Clifton and Alhuquer
cue are almost sure to he here, an,
it is barely possible that Gallup ant
Madrid might come in at the last m
ment.

ROSWELL YOUNG MAN
COMMITTED TO ASYLUM

Before a jury in the county court,
at Pueblo. last week, DR.. Kinsinger, a
physician. gave testimony which con
victed Hale Hortenstein of Roswell
n. NJ, of insanity, and he was re
turned to Woodcroft sanitarium for
treatment, says the Denver Repub'
lican.
DIR. Kinsinger testified that Horton
stein. who has no money in his own
right, contracted to purchase a Den
yer. laundry, valued at $4,000, and
that he also gave an order for an
automobile. In the presence of the
doctor Hortenstein threatened to com
nit suicide unless his mother supplied
the money to pay for the laundry
other peculiar actions showing his de.
mented condition were related by the
witness. one of which was the order
ing of a 5000 supper at Roswell the
night before his marriage, six weeks
ago, which bill his mother was com
PEELED to pay.
After Hortenstein had been married
the physician says he sent a message
demanding $500, and saying he would
kill himself if she did not send the
money. He is 81 years of age, and his
bride is a beautiful young woman OF
the same age. On their return from
the Pacific coast the groom suffered
an epileptic stroke and vas brought
to Woodcroft sanitorium for treat
ment.
