NONRESIDENT BUSINESS
HOUSES NOT PEDDLERS


In Eddy County last week Judge
Pope handed down a decision which
will be of interest to all the cities in
the Territory. The officials of the
county were sued by a Chicago gro
Gerry firm to enjoin them from interfer-
ing with the agents in soliciting gro.
Gerry orders and delivering the same.
The county contended that the firm
must either pay an occupation tax or
else take out a peddler's license. The
decision of the court was that under
the Interstate Commerce law a non
resident business house has the right
to send agents into different states and
territories to solicit orders for goods,
and that the agent can then deliver the
goods to the purchasers without COM
ing under the statutory definition of a
peddler, and that the firm or its repre-
sentatives is not required to pay IL
cense to do business. The injunction
was made perpetual.

GRAHAM is A SMOOTH ARTICLE.

William Mcintosh, who left Santa Fe
today to return to his home near Chi
ILL., informed New Mexican report
er that the man, Gordon Graham, who
was captured at his ranch Saturday by
Sheriff Houck, of Navajo County, Ari-
zona, is crooked all the way through.
Some time ago Mr.. Mcintosh received
bill for SITS from people at the
University of California and on inves-
tigation he discovered that the man
who is now passing himself off as Cor
don Graham had been there and had
represented that he was son of Will
lam Mcintosh, of Torrance County,
New Mexico On the strength of this
he ran several bills and then told his
creditors to send the accounts to his
father. Previous to this incident Mr..
Mcintosh had received one or two bills
from eastern points, also purporting to
have been sent to him at the request
Of his son, and the description of the
young man in each case tailed with
the appearance of the California i'm
poster and also with that of the young
man who was arrested Saturday.
When Graham went to the Mcintosh
ranch last week he told the men who
are in charge that Mr.. Mcintosh had
sent him out there to oversee the
place

CONSCIENCE MONEY
SENT TO TREASURY

Washington, March 21.-One of the
largest conscience contributions ever
received by the United States treasury
arrived last week. 1t was for $4,000
and reached the Office of Secretary
Shaw in an envelope that bore an IL
legible postmark but is supposed not
registered and was sent without any
precautions whatever. Any dishonest
postof1ice official or other person
handling the money could have been
$4,000 richer If he had made way
with the package and kept his mouth
shut. The money was in $1,000, 500
and $50 bills, and there was nothing
inside to show who 1t came from ex-
cept this brief note, penciled on q
small sheet of writing paper and
signed "A Sinner" Years ago de-
frauded the government, but am now
returning it four fold in accordance
with the teachings of the Scripture.
The way Of the transpressor is hard
and no one but God knows how have
suffered the consequences. seek to
make bountiful restoration and may
God pardon me-"
Judging from the note the writer
had defrauded the government out Of
about $4,000, and for that amount the
sent ourfold-412,000.

CONTINUE INVESTIGATION
OF THE BEEF TRUST

New York, March 21.-United States
District Attorney H. L. Burnett has
been taking evidence here for week
past in connection with the so-called
"beef trust investigation by the feder-
al grand jury in Chicago. The list OF
witnesses has not been made public,
but it is reported to include the names
of all the New York representatives of
the big packing companies. The wit
nesses were questioned in regard to
the methods of the companies in ad-
justing the distribution of business
east of Chicago, rebates to dealers and
the alleged blacklist of railroad sys-
TENS employed by the independent
firms. All General Burnett would say
was what was being done was worth
while, at any rate.

DEATH LS|T
is GROWING
From the Boiler Explosion in tho
Shoe Factory at Brockton,
Massachusetts.
.FIFTY-FIVE ARE FOUND
Many Employees Arc Thought to Have
Been Blown Literally to Pieces,
Therefore Yet Unaccountsd For.

Brockton. March 21.-All night long
the work of searching for bodies con.
tinued. The work was not rewarded
after midnight until 7 o'clock this
morning, when the remains Of another
man were found in the boiler pit. This
body is believed to be that Of David
w. Rockwell, the engineer, who was in
charge of the boiler which exploded.
This makes the f1fty-fourth body found
thus far Figures today show that 260
persons who were at work when the
explosion occurred have been account
ed for and between fifty and 100 per-
sons are still missing.
Shortly after II O'Clock another body
the fifty-fifth, that of woman, was
discovered in the debris.
Employees Were Dazed.
Brockton, March 21.-The police to-
day in explaining the failure of num-
ber OF employees to report their escape,
cited an instance which indicates that
many workmen were dazed after the
explosion. Joseph Jones, who es-
capped from the explosion with only a
few bruises, in confused state of
mind walked to another shoe factory
in the city, applied for and was given
employment, and worked through the
day Not until he returned home and
found his family mourning him for
dead was his brain sufficiently clear to
enable him to recall the incidents of
the day. When the boiler ploughed it's
way through the factory many opera
tives swere blown to pieces, it is be-
lieved, and this is offered to account
in part for the discrepancy between
the number of bodies recovered from
the ruins and the number reported
missing.

Doing Very WeiI-Range Good-Re
ports of Losses Greatly Exag.
.gerated.

Fl. c. Abbott of Floersheim & Alb
bott proprietors of the Jaritas Ranch
near Springer writes to the New Mex.
ican that the earlier reports of losses
on the range in Colfax and Union
Counties are much exaggerated. He
adds: ''I am member of a firm with
headquarters at Springer and am in a
position to say that statement of a
Springer firm losing 10000 sheep,
which appeared recently, is an exag-
gerated report. There is less loss in
cattle and sheep than l had expected
to see thirty days ago. Our loss is
heavy, ten per cent. The usual loss in
sheep in this section is seldom less
than five ner cent. We have fed five
cars of corn and when the railroad SER
vice reaches so high grade OF effi-
cheney that stockmen can get feed
shipped in promptly and at reasonable
rates, there will be but slight loss in
cattle and sheep. No one here has fed
over so cents per head on sheep. Even
if he had fed 50 per head he still would
have good proposition. Every eve
is worth So per head; every lamb 81
and the wool 81 per fleece. BY saving
IS per cent. of his herd, no sheepman
need to worry.
"One of the largest cattle firms in
New Mexico had seventeen cars OF al
falfa in Springer one day. The man.
ager of the company is one of the best
and most successful business men in
New Mexico and believes in feeding. /
have heard only of three small sheep
men who have lost 30 to 40 per cent.
and one of these tried to winter 5000
fine lambs in one herd without feed.
have met a large number of sheepmen
and the loss is about 10 per cent.
Grass is coming fine, the best I have
ever seen in my 25 years of range ex-
perience and no doubt the loss of sheep
and cattle in Colfax and Mora Counties
will more than be made up by the In
crease and quality during the coming
season."

HOLD UP A
MESSENGER

Berkeley, Cal, March 21.-J. E
Daley, who acted as messenger for the
Central Bank of Oakland, was held
up and robbed while on his way to the
Standard Oil refinery at Point Rich
mond today. There were two highway
men, each of whom carried a revolver
but only one wore a mask. After COM
pelling Daley and Deputy Sheriff
Roach, his companion, to leave their
buggy the robbers tied them to fence
and placed gags in their mouths.
When this had been accomplished the
highwaymen drove off in the buggy be-
longing to the men from whom they
had taken the money.
The horse and buggy taken from
Daley and Roach this morning was
found at West Berkeley tonight about
dark, with one thousand dollars in
the buggy. A man answering the de-
scription of the robber, who wore a
soft hat, was caught between San
Pablo and the Gateley ranch this af-
ternoon. The other man is still at
large.

ROCK ISLAND
HAS WRECK
Near Homestead in Iowa Which
Results in Injury to Six
Persons.
WEST BOUND LIMITED
Goes Over Embsnkment and Road
Master Says 1t Was Work Of
Train Robbers.

Des Moines, March 21--The Rocky
Mountain Limited, west bound, on the
Rock Island Railroad, was wrecked
near Homestead Iowa, early today and
seven persons were injured Accord
ing to railroad officials the wreck was
caused by robbers, who, after witness.
ing the havoc they had wrought, made
their escape in the darkness without
attempting to rob the train. Six per-
sons were hurt, but none are believed
to be fatally injured. According to the
roadmaster the spikes were removed
from two rails. The Denver and the
Colorado sleepers, the engine, mail
coach and composite car went over the
embankment into ditch forty-tive
feet below. The only passenger in
jured was Mrs. L. Crosswhite, of Sar-
gent, Colorado. Others who were hurt
were employees. M
MaIiciously Wrecked.
Chicago, March 21.-At the general
offices of the Rock Island in Chicago,
the officials of the road express doubt
that the wreck was caused by robbers.
The officials, however, said that the
wrecking of the train was done mali
ciously and with generalization. 1t was
found that the rails, at the point
where the wreck occurred had
not only been removed, but after being
taken out of line with the rest of the
track had been spiked down again.

ENDORSEMENT
OF GOVERNOR
Tho Washington Star Publishes
Article Concerning Recent
' Rumors Here.
STATEMENT BY MULLER
The Captain Says He Was Not a Can.
didats.. No Charges Have Been
Filed With the Wsr Department.

1t will be remembered that three
weeks ago the town was agog with re
ports which were claimed to have
come direct from Washington tha
Governor Otero would be asked to re
sign or would be removed, and thai
Captain Frederick Muller was to be
made Governor. The New Mexican
took no stock in them and so stated
then and there. The sequel to these
rumors is found in the following ar
ticle from the Washington Star under
date of March 18th, last:
Captain Frederick Muller of New
Mexico called at the Interior Depart
ment recently to pay his respects to
Secretary Hitchcock before returning
to his home and to deny knowledge of
the reported attempt to oust Governor
Otero in his behalf Captain Muller
was Rough Rider and is a personal
friend of President Roosevelt. He is
the receiver of the U. S. land Office at
Santa Fe, New Mexico. A statement
has been given wide publicity that an
attempt is being made to GUST OterO
and put Muller in his place and that
charges have been preferred against
the Governor The officials of the In
terror Department deny that any charg-
es have been made Governor Otero
stands high in the estimation of Sec
retary Hitchcock, and there is no foun-
dation for the statement that his re-
mOval or resignation from office is i'm
minent.
Captain Muller told Secretary Hitch
cock that he was not a candidate for
Governor Otero's place and that he did
not know man among the respecta-
BILE citizens of the Territory who want
ed to see the Governor go out of office.
"The charges that are alleged to
have been made against Governor
Otero are that he has used government
property issued for the use of the Ma
tional Guard of the Territory for pri-
vate purposes and that he diverted
funds from the National Guard improp-
erly. These charges, it is stated, have
been made by w. H. Whiteman, for
mer adjutant general of the Territory,
who was recently removed from Office
by Governor Otero. They have not
been received by the Interior Depart
ment or the War Department and
nothing is known about them at either
place.

THE SITUATION IN ARIZONA.

Phoenix, Arizona, March 21.-
Alarming reports reached the city
this afternoon as to conditions along
the Salt River While the rumors lack
confirmation to certain extent it is
fact that the river is higher this
morning than it has been during the
past twenty years.
The volume of water going over the
Arizona dam is greater than at any
time since the dam was built by many
inches.
In the low country bordering on the
river proper everything is under water
and from the meagre reports at hand
it is hard to estimate the loss. Certain
1t is, however, that the crops in many
places will be washed out of the
ground and the damage to buildings
will be great.
