THE GOVERNOR
STOPPED RUNNING
$50 Horse Power Engine
Runs Away With DiSaS-
trOuS Results.
VERY EXPENSIVE DAMAGES
All Street Cars viii Be Tied Up
Until Tomorrow
Morning.
VERY EXPENSIVE DAMAGES

Because its governor stopped, 2
$50 horse power Ideal engine, owned
by the Albuquerque Gas, Electric
Light and Power company, ran away
with itself st the Albuquerque Elec-
trio Power company's plant at the
lumber mills at 1880 o'clock last
night and broke all to pieces.
The engine was one employed in
pulling two generators, which fur
nished electricity for the Albuquerque
Traction company, and as a result of
the catastrophe albuquerque is with
out street car service today.
The actual damage In dollars and
cents could not be estimated today,
but 1t will amount to several .thous-
and dollars.
At noon Manager Frank Stortz, of
the Traction company, thought that
he could have cars running by tomor-
row morning. The generators, which
were hitched To the destroyed engine,
escaped injury and are being moved
across the big power room of the AL
buquerque Electric Power company t"
another engine of $50 horse power,
and as soon as this is done, the cars
will be started going.
Wreck Was Complete.
So complete was the wreck that
there is scarcely a part OF the de
stroyed engine that can be used again.
The fly wheels, six feet ia diameter
snd weighing $500 pounds each, were
broken into pieces, no one of which
would weigh more than fifty pounds.
The spokes of the wheels. several
inches in thickness and of cast iron
were stripped from the hubbs as
though they were tooth picks. One
piece, probably weighing fifty pounds,
knocked hole in the top of the en-
gine room fifty feet above the dis
mantled engine. Another struck the
steel frame of the building forty feet
above, bending 1t as though IL were a
mere lattice work of wood. The cylin-
der and guide of the engine. a solid
piece weighing probably 5000 pounds
was wrenched from its moorings on
a foundation of cement and steel, and
hurled ten feet to the pit of the en-
gine room. The bolts which held this
piece were snapped square OFF. The
belts were torn iato shreds.
Cause Of the Wreck.
Inc engine was one WHICH ulQ SIX
years service in the city plant OF the
Albuquerque Gas, Electric Light and
Power company, near the Santa Fe
freight depot, and was only moved to
the plant of the Albuquerque Electric
Power company about month ago.
1t was in very good condition, with
the exception that the main shaft was
slightly bent and that 1t was a little
the worse for wear. But these faults
are not considered the immediate
cause OF the wreck. No one was il
the immediate vicinity of il at the
time, and the exact cause is not
known. Engineer Hicks, who is on
duty at night, had retired this morn
ing and a statement from him could
not be secured. A. ID. Coleman, an
for the Traction company,
surveyed the wreck this morning and
said that his theory was that the en-
gine actually ran away with itself.
The governor probably became sta
tionary from dirt or some other

Democrats viii Take UP the Gauntlet of President and
Secretary Root In Favor of Constitution
AS 1t Now Is

Chicago, Dec. 14.--A dispatch to
the Record Herald from Washington
says.
A special message on the Japanese
question and the California school
problem, supplementary to his treat
ment of the same by President Roose-
welt in his regular message last week,
will be sent to congress from the
White House next Tuesday. 1t is
stated authoritively that this special
message will be more vigorous in
tone than the former communication
and will not be calculated to cool the
Indignation of CalifoTnians.
The special message, moreover,
aside from its local application will
be one of the most notable and i'm
portant communications in the entire
list of those sent to congress by the
present executive. 1t will bring to
a direct issue the Capitalization
scheme OF the government, which is
likely to form the climax of an en-
deavor on the part of the administrar
tion. The administration is about to
take advanced ground regarding the
doctrine of federal supremacy over
state sovereignty.
The Japanese question, raised in
connection with the school system OF
California, has supplied the opportun-
ity to give forcible expression to the
mighty scheme OF Capitalization that
is to be perfected if possible. There
is no possible forecast of the detail
of what the president will say in his
second message on the Japanese ques
tion.
Accompanying his message, which
Il is understood will be an explaoa
ton of the administration projected
policy as to supreme federal contro
over state power, will be report oi
special investigation of the San Fran
else school question, made by Secre

'hls,AMEN DISCUSS HOME
RULE AT DIIRl

Dublin, Dec. 1.-THE draft of the
home rule bill submitted by Sir An
thony Mcdonnell was discussed at a
large and representative meeting of
irishmen in the Rotunda las night ].
Redmond, NJ. p, presided. The new
bill proposes 10 leave the legislative
union untouched ana an Irish council
Is to be created with proportion OF
between two-thirds and threefourths
o. its-members elected on the exist
ing parliamentary franchise, the re-
mainder to be elected on a restricted
franchise or nominated; at the same
time this country is to retain her
present representation in the Imper-
ial Parliament. Clergymen of all de-
nominations are eligible for member
ship In the council. The new admin
istration will be as follows: The
central or castle board, a department
of education, a department of agricul-
ture, a department for land transfer.
The police are to remain under i'm
perial control but are to be reduced
in numbers and the position of the
judiciary Is to remain unaffected. II
is computed that after deductions from
Irish tax revenue for imperial pur-
poses s25,000,O0O a year will remain
at the disposal Of the Irish council
John Dillon, NJ p. denounced the
clauses under which the police are to
remain under the direction of the inn
perial government and Michael Flaw
in, M. f., Havilant Burke, NJ p, e.
Cream M. p. and others spoke
against the formation of the general
council or castle board. 1t is GER
tain that when the bill is introduced
in the house it will be productive of
great heat as the people of the north

DEAR OLD CHRISTMAS.

New York, Dec. IA public

Christmas exercises in schools. DIR.

from the life of Christ. DR.. II.
Pereris Mendes, one of the best
known orthodox rabbis, said the move
ment was general among the Jews
of the country as they could not see
why one religion. should be taught in

another, no matter what that religion
may be. The board OF education at
present have several complaints in
this CONNECTION before them and il Is
expected thev will act on them i'm the
course OF a few days.

coLoUITT ADDRESSES OKLA
HOMA CONVENTION.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 14.-In address.
ing the Oklahoma constitutional con
vention today, Hon. Oscar b. Colquitt,
member OF the Texas railroad COM
mission, declared that whil6 the
Texas railroad commission act is
good law, the railroad rate regulation
in Texas has been a failure except in
producing uniformity, and he quoted
Mayfield, of the same commission, as
acknowledging that 1t had been al
most a failure.
Commenting the effort of President
Roosevelt Colquitt said that il
strong men were kept on the inter-
state commerce commission, and the
courts did not nullify their work, the
Hepburn rate bill might satisfy the
people; otherwise he believed Presi-
dent Roosevelt would be but the
"forerunner OF Bryan"
COlquitt was an advocate of rail-
road regulation in Texas when the
cause was first championed by the
late Governor Hogg. He is the first
prominent man in public life in
Texas to declare that il has been

DEMOCRATS TAKE ALARM AT
ROOTS LATE PREACHMENT

New York, Dec. 14.-Edward NJ.
Shepard declares that the democratic
party should accept the issue of cen
tralization of power in the federal
government made by Secretary Root
in his address Wednesday night.
81 think the existence of the demo
cratic party is. more necessary day af-
ter day." Shepard said. ''and especial
ly do think so after considering this
speech of the man who may truthfully
be called trained statesman, al
though his idea of what our govern
ment should be is abhorrent to me.
He proposes as policy what we may
call the destruction of the states and
the complete and final subordination
of state power to federal power in
Washington. The fight of the demo
cratic party against this idea goes
back to days preceding the adoption
of the federal constitution, and to
that we owe the fact that the federal
and consolidated republic was estab'
| lished.

New York, Dec. 14.--Prof. Brander
Matthews of Columbia university,
chairman of the executive committee
of the simpllfied spelling board, de-
clined to comment last night on
Roosevelt's action yesterday after

der to the public printer in case the
house shall go on record s<sainst the

duced a resolution fe.,6ring the old
method and the ho.0se passed 1t un-
animously.
Matthews I'D that he had refused

az oruer and he must refuse to crit
cise 1e presidents action now. He
sta' ID, however, that the. system OF

friends. both in this country and in

New York, Dec. 14.-The loan OF
S15OO0,0OO of which So,000,000 has
been subscribed by New York finan-
ciers has been completed for the pur-
pose of indemnifying the Brazilian

seasons coffe crop. Last summer the
Brazilian coffee states baked by the
Brazilian government placed a 500.
100000 loan with European and
American bankers interested in the

which under the valuation plan,
were bought by the government for
withdrawal from the market al a
price calculated es the minimum fig
ure of profitable production. The
new loan Is a direct obligation of the
state of Sas Paulo, which grows IS
per cent of the Brazilian coffee crop.
The funds will be used to withdraw
an additional 100000 bags of coffee
from the market.

Regardless of the nature of this re-
