the assistant secretaries of the treas
ury department, under Mr.. Shaw's
administration, inaugurated the cue
tom of using the colored messengers
in his home also for buffers and
walters.
The practice Of using government
employees as coachmen was exploited
year or so ago, and at that time this
secretary and some other sub-oti-
cials lost the privilege of using the
official carriages" for making after
noon calls and doing marketing.
The late Secretary Hay would not
use the official carriage for any pur-
pose not in the strictest sense of Off
cial. Secretary Shaw, on the other
hand, sees no reason why he or Mrs.
Shaw should not use the official car
riage for Sunday or secular calling,
or for marketing, if convenient.
But then Secretary Shaw sees no
reason why his son should not draw
pay as a special agent, or why the
boy should not travel to Hawaii at
public expense, as he did this sum
mer.

lie Would Not Accept Position on Executive CON-.
mittee Because His Company Had Extensive
Dealings With the Equitable.

New York, Sept 29.-Jacob H.
Schiff, head of the firm OF Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., bankers, formerly di-
rector of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society, was the first witness
called before the legislative insurance
investigation committee today.
Schiff said that he became a d.
rector of the Equitable society late
in 1893 or early in 1894. His firm
had been dealing with the society for
a quarter of century prior to that
time He was advised that there was
nothing to prevent his firm from prop
erly maintaining such relations. He
was a director for several years be-
fore he became member Of the
finance committee.
Schiff also stated that the Equita-
bic was in the hands of the executive
officers, and that he had no way Of
| knowing more than these officers
chose to tell him. He refused elec-
ton TO the executive committee be-
cause of his relations TO the society.
He thought it would be improper for
| him as a member Of the executive
committee to pass upon any dealings
of his firm with the society.
He was qualified to be a director
. by shares transferred to him by Mr..
Hyde, upon which Hyde drew divi.
dends. His position on the finance
committee he did not regard as OF
much importance because he could
not insist that his advice on the pur
chase or sale of securities should be
/ followed.
! Schiff said there was practically nc
place for a finance committee, as the
( executive committee took the initla
tive in all investments, and there was
/ the auditing committee with powers
! equalling those of the finance commit
tee. In reply to a question by Coun
sci Hughes whether he did not think
! there ought to be more supervision oi
insurance companies, Schiff said:
There is no doubt Of it, but no law
can secure it,"
Schiff said he would like to see in
/ surance companies looked after, az
well as his own banking firm, and IFS
/ officers held TO as strict accountability
as his cashier. Schiff said that he
thought Hyde made a mistake as he
kept the board of directors absolutely
at the mercy of one man-himself
/ Witness never heard anything o
numerous trustee accounts, and IL Wa'
j never brought TO mis- attention thai
monies of the society were carried un

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 29.-From the
New Hebrides news was received by
the steamer Miowara, of an attack by
natives upon a French punitive ex-
pedition sent to punish the blacks for
outrageous actions against the white
settlers and for several murders at
Builies, on Mallicolo Island.
The French warship, Muerthe, land
ed a party of marines who arrested
three chiefs. AS the party took their
captives from the village, a shot was
fired from ambush which killed one
marine gunner The party then at
tackled the village, dispensing the ma
tives and killing four men.
The landing party returned to the
bay, where it was again fired on and
a marine wounded.

he had served the order on Mr.. Hub
bell and that he had refused to obey
it. Attorney NELL b. Field thereup-
on appeared before the court and ask
ed that Mr.. Hubbell be cited for con-
tempt of court and that warrant be
issued for his arrest In order that he
might be brought before the court
The warrant was at once issued and
delivered to the sheriff to serve. IL
was served on Mr.. Hubbell during tbe
noon hour and he was cited to appear
and show cause why he refused to
obey the order of the court.
At 2 o'clocs, this afternoon Mr.. Hub
bell and his counsel appeared before
Judge Abbott. The court asked Mr..
Hubbell if he had anything to say and
he replied that he had not. Mr.. Field,
appearing for Sheriff Armijo, then
asked the court to order Mr.. Hubbell
committed to the county jail until he
should purge himself of contempt by
complying with the courts order. The
order was at once prepared and sign
ed by Judge Abbott and turned over
to Sheriff Armijo to carry out. The
sheriff took charge of his prisoner and
started with him to the county jail.
Battered Down Jail Doors.
Sheriff Armiio was followed to the
county jail by quite a large crowd
Arriving at the Jail, he demanded ad-
mittance, but the jailer refused to OPP
en- the gate of the barricade. A dep
uty was sent for an AK and sledge
hammer and the gate was broken
down. 1t was also necessary to batter
down the door to the jail before the
sheriff could gain admittance to the
Jail proper. Mr.. Hubbell was then
taken into the Jail and locked up.
Armljo Now Has Jail.
AS result of this afternoons pro-
ceedings Sheriff Armijo is now in full
possession of the county jail. 1t is
understood that when the district
court conyenes on Monday he will
have full charge as sheriff and no de-
lay will result on account of the pres
ent controversy.
Will Resort to Habeas Corpus.
Although it is not known what the
counsel for Mr.. Hubbell will do now
that their client is in jail for con-
tempt of court, 1t is very probably
that they will swear out a writ OF ha-
beas corpus in an attempt to secure
his release. Mr.. Hubbell took his COM
mitment calmly and does not seem In
the least worried about the outcome.

Last winter Representative A. J..
Voelstead, of Granite Falls, Mimi,
made the boast that he was living and
supporting his family on the $1,000
clerk hire allowance, and saving the
$4,000 salary and the $125 allowance
for stationery. Being a thrifty Nor
wegian and accustomed to the simple
life of Granite Falls. this was a very
easy proposition to him.
There are very few of the southern
congressman who employ secretaries,
but there are fewer who fail to certi-
fy to the expenditure of the entire
amount of the 500 a month, winter
and summer Once a northern CON
gressman did fail to draw this allow
ance. He was Franklin Bartlett. of
New York, now out of PC Jics. He GER
titled to the expenditure Of SIS year
for actual clerk hire. Bartlett was re-
garded as very eccentric.
1t is the common practice for groups
of congressman to combine and have
one clerk between them. Each pays
the common clerk SIS or $50 a month,
Albuquerque evening citizen., 1905-09-29

so that the clerk is able to earn about
500 altogether. Last winter group
of these professional secretaries
agreed that the scale of wages was
being cut to an intolerable degree, and
that il was time to form a union and
strike for higher pay. The congress
men began to get nervous about the
publicity threatened. and the result
was the insertion of an item in one of
the appropriation bills providing an
annual salary of $4,000 for one of the
committees which previously had en-
joyed no such perquislte, and this
money was used TO satisfy the NAL
contents. The strike was declared
off.
1t was only very recently that Jim
Watson, uf Indiana. member of the
ways and means committee, found 1t
necessary to have a regular secretary.

consumption in the United States has
increased enormously, and at present
the Americans consume between two
fifths and one-half of all the coffee pro-
duced, The statistics show that the
per capita consumption of coffee in
some of the principal countries for
1903 was as follows:
United States, 1919; United King.

Holland, 14.39;.
In these five countries, with Aus
tria-Hungary added, the use of coffee
from 1884 10 1904, or during twenty
years, increased 60 per cent, while the
population increased only about sc
per cent, In pounds, the increase in
consumption has been, in the same
twenty years, from 1,140,740OOC
pounds in 1884 to 1,S16,447,000 pounds
in 1904. While the increase for al
the countries named was 90 per cent
in the United States alone it was al

The sheriff sQuabbe took a sudden
and decidedly sensational turn this
afternoon. with the result that Thos.
S. Hubbell, recently removed as sher-
iff of Bernalillo county, is confined in
the county jail. The commitment of
Hubbell was the result of his being
in contempt of court by refusing to
obey an order issued this morning by
Judge Ira A. Abbott. The order is
sued by the court and which Hubbel
flatly refused to obey is as follows:
The Courts Order.
This day came Perfecto Armijo,
sheriff of the county of Bernalillo, and
represents to the court that Thomas
S. Hubbell, late sheriff of the county
of Bernalillo, is in possession of the
county Jail of the said county of Ber-
nalillo, and of the prisoners contain
ed therein, as well as of room in
the court house of said county, and of
the records and paraphernalia of the
office Of said sheriff, and refuses to
surrender the same to him, the said
Perfecto Armijo, to the obstruction OF
the public business, and thereupon
It is ordered by the court that the said
Thomas S. Hubbell forthwith deliver
TO the said Perfecto Armijo posses
sion of the county Jail of the said
county of Bernalillo, and of the pris'
oners contained therein, as well as OF
room in the court house of said
county, and of the records and para
phernalia of the office of said sneriff,
without prejudice to the rights of the
said Thomas S. Hubbell to contest
the right of the said Perfecto Armijo
to the Office of sheriff of the said coun-
ty of Bernalillo in any proper pro
ceeding. The said Thomas S. Hub
bell, by his attorney, objected to any
| action by the court upon said repre-
sentation for want of jurisdiction in
the court to proceed in this way, and

ing before the court in which 1t can

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-Con-
gress and the higher officials of the
government are morally responsible
for a large share of the petty graft
which abounds in the public service.
When United States senators, cabinet
officers and members of the house of
representatives, and even the vice
president of the United States, make
improper connection with the public
treasury, there is not much hope for a
high moral tone among the subor.
dinates.
Few people have any idea of the
extent to which government otilclals
and congressman are accustomed u
use employees who are carried on the
government pay rolls to decrease thelT
own private expenses. By employing
government "charwomen" as cooks
or messengers" as buffers or Wallets
the personal expenses of these public
men are considerably reduced. Then
when a wife or daughter can be car
ried on the rolls as a secretary OF
a son as Clerk" the living problem is
made quite simple.
1t will be noted that no denial was
ever made of the charge of the dis
gruntled Addicks, of Delaware, that
his former friend, Senator ]. F. Alice
was, by himself and his relatives
drawing down" about $4,000 a veal
of government money.
Neither does Vice President Fair
banks deny that his son draws the
salary of a private secretary. Bu
that does not tell the whole story
for l am most reliably informed thai
it has been the custom of the vice
president, who is supposed to be
man of large wealth, to make use o
a colored man as a house servant who
is on the rolls of the government bu
reau of printing and engraving, ant
of white woman as personal secre
tary, who is 5000 clerk in the offic'
of the quartermaster general.
L was the rather notorious MI
George w. Beavers, lately chief o

species of graft to a high degree o
perfection by making use of one o

ment as his personal valet. One o

of a reasonable allowance for the support of his
widow amounting to nearly $2OOO0
How Rutledge accumulated so much on a
small salary is not known. The pamphlet an

that the nearing of the completion of the Lady
